Every autumn, I make a lot of pesto with my sweet basil and put it up to freeze. This year, I'll be freezing fresh basils and oregano as well for soups and such in the winter.
Before freezing herbs, there's some prep work that is very important for health and safety reasons. It is essential that you rinse your herbs clean. I usually fill up my sink, soak everything so the bugs float to the top, then let the water out and spray rinse one more time.
Afterward, I lay out clean cloth napkins reserved for homesteading projects and place the basil one layer thick on them. I cover them with another layer then roll them up gently so that cloth can soak up most of the water.
While these sit, I make sure all my containers are washed in warm, soapy water. I use little square plastic containers with lids that I found in a 6-pack in the $1 row. They are probably the size of an ice cube and a half.
And speaking of ice cubes. . .ice trays work just as well. Make sure they are washed too.
When the herbs as essentially dry, I remove all leaves from the stems. Leaves get tossed into the food processor. Stems go in the compost bucket. I don't pack my leaves tightly otherwise all the ones on the bottom become mush, and the ones on top never gain access.
As they are spinning, I drizzle about 1 tablespoon of oil in with the herbs. It keeps them from browning and helps them come out of the tray/container. You can also use water if you prefer–I find that works better with Thai basil so it retains its distinctive flavor when I add to Thai recipes.
**Please note–do not ever soak herbs in olive oil and retain for long periods of time on the counter or in fridge. That can lead to botulism as there is not enough acid in oil to kill those organisms.
Once your herbs are chopped, scoop into ice cube trays or containers and pack them down a bit with your finger tip.
Place in freezer until they become solid.
When they are completely frozen, they can be stored as such or popped out (by running a bit of warm water over the bottom) and kept in freezer bags or mason jar.
To use, just grab as many as you desire, and add to recipe. Mmmmmm–a taste of summer all year long!


A combination of factors have sent our metro temperatures plunging to a low that many haven't seen in several years, refreezing roadways and covering the hard-packed snow with a hard layer of ice.
Clear skies, cold air and widespread snow cover have facilitated a drop-off into the teens and single digits around the metro area. Thursday night into Friday morning edged down into some of the coldest lows since the December 2013.
A long list of schools preemptively cancelled classes Friday, as road conditions stayed the same or got worse across much of the metro. See an updated list of closing here.
While we did get slight melting Thursday, and more is expected Friday, the trouble is that whatever melts with in the sun is certain to refreeze overnight. Models have pushed any significant warm-up beyond the weekend; highs will likely hover in the 30s through Sunday.
This refreezing takes whatever slush and puddling on the road and turns it to a foggy, snow-like ice that looks as if the snow has glazed over. (Not to mention the black ice from the puddles.) Expect a bumpy, slick ride if you have to drive.
As trees absorb melting moisture and refreeze each night, any weak or cracking branches could give in, falling on power lines, cars or homes.
TriMet announced that while MAX lines and bus routes would be operating as scheduled, they'd likely be on delay due to conditions and the 25mph speed limitation with the chains on. Some routes were detoured or cancelled. Check the latest alerts from TriMet here.
Next, with a rain system on the way (chock full of deep Pacific moisture straight off the jet stream), melting snow and rain accumulation bring the potential for flooding dangers early next week.

Restaurant Review: Chickadee
The millennial restaurant comes of age with a plucky Seaport addition.
By Colin Kingsbury·	 1/3/2019, 9:32 a.m.

Restaurants have a way of capturing the prevailing culinary zeitgeist at their moment of creation. Take Barbara Lynch's iconic No. 9 Park: It's hard to imagine that restaurant—with its formal service style, Brahmin-friendly interior design, and continental menu—opening in this century. But its impact remains undeniable: No. 9 has helped launch the high-flying careers of next-gen chefs who have gone on to open their own of-the-moment ventures. Such is the case with No. 9 alums John daSilva and Ted Kilpatrick, whose new restaurant, Chickadee, feels so right now that you don't need to be told it opened mere months ago. In this Seaport spot we see fine dining for maturing millennials, the group that gave us food trucks and coined "fast-casual," for whom an elevated experience is no longer defined by white tablecloths in a Beacon Hill brownstone.
Located in the Innovation and Design Building, far past the Seaport District's glitzy new towers, Chickadee comes across as gentle and approachable, its interior swathed in a soothingly modern palette of grays, blues, and white, plus plenty of blond wood. Pretty little touches, such as table vases spruced up with sprigs of baby's breath, add warmth without formality. Service follows suit: casual but polished, as if the restaurant has been open for years. It's all a welcome departure from the bicycle-shop-in-Brooklyn aesthetic that a decade of new restaurants all seemed to follow.
Chickadee describes its cuisine as "New England–born and Mediterranean-inspired," which is a very good thing. As much as I like a turkey dinner with four sides of carbs, New England's native gastronomy has far more to learn from the world than it does to offer it. The end result is exactly what you would expect if someone grounded in No. 9's French-Italian canon raided the za'atar-stocked pantry of Sarma: seasonal dishes presented with unique flourishes that are interesting but not overwrought.
As today's diners increasingly opt for bar seats, even in upscale settings, it's essential to offer food that plays well with libations—and the "snacks" section of Chickadee's menu is up to that task. We began our first visit with smoked-sea-trout dip ($8), a near-perfect fancy bar nosh that came under a blanket of light hollandaise-like sauce with just a hint of horseradish. If only there had been more dark rye bread chips to scoop it up. Sour-cream-and-onion doughnuts ($9) were similarly salty and savory, four munchkins accompanied by a dipping sauce laced with chives and caviar. Deep-fried Scotch olives ($9), meanwhile, put a Greek twist on the traditional hors d'oeuvres, wrapped as they were with loukaniko sausage and served with whipped feta. All of these offerings excellently complement Kilpatrick's ambitious cocktail menu, a flock of bird-themed creations that are, like the food, complex and layered—particularly the millennial-pink Spruce Goose, which combines herbaceous genever with on-trend spruce tip.
Owing perhaps to a generation's quest to shrink its carbon footprint (or just an understanding that meat need not be mandatory), veggie-focused menu sections are popping up all over town—including at Chickadee. Here, the now-ubiquitous roasted Brussels sprouts ($13) exceeded expectations thanks to fried garlic slices and an anchovy emulsion. Fun, if a bit muted in flavor, the crispy hen-of-the-woods mushroom ($13) looked like a Bloomin' Onion from an alternate universe, with potato-and-almond skordalia standing in for the dipping sauce. Conversely, chunks of marinated beets ($12) dusted with pistachios over a thin layer of goat cheese were too much of a good thing. Still, all was forgiven with the grilled-carrot salad ($12), a perfect-10 plate that dressed the ribbon-thin slices with a touch of citrus vinaigrette and piled them atop a generous scoop of creamy avocado hummus.

Just as they were at daSilva's last stop, Somerville's much-loved Spoke Wine Bar, pastas (half order, $15–$16; full order, $26–$28) are a strong point for Chickadee. Served with hen-of-the-woods mushrooms, chestnuts, and Parmigiano atop a delicate cream sauce with the lightest hint of smoke, semolina gnocchi was a standout. Radiatore with barbecued rabbit and nardello peppers also checked all the right boxes, while potato bigoli with littlenecks and green harissa made for a livelier riff on spaghetti with white clam sauce.
Lucky for the city's share-happy social media mavens, daSilva and chef de cuisine Stef Bui, another No. 9 alum, are turning out some of the most visually spectacular dishes of any kitchen in the city—though as the entrées exhibit, the dazzle doesn't always make it from plate to palate. Perfectly seared yet a bit bland, sea scallops ($32) arrived in a deep bowl over honeynut squash, apples, and leeks in a light vadouvan curry. Lackluster duck breast ($32) looked sculptural: Two rectangles of rare duck, chewy and under-flavored, were stacked architecturally alongside cylindrical cuts of duck sausage, the real star of the plate, but confused by a smear of jicama purée, diced grapes, and smoked almonds. The porchetta ($30) was more on point: two slices of perfect thickness broiled until crisp on top and served with a side of Brussels sprouts in a tangy dressing made with the Italian fish sauce colatura.

It's worth saving room for dessert, a compact menu of pastries and sorbets that deliver deep flavors beyond mere sweetness, as well as the interesting selection of amari and dessert wines. The pretty apple galette ($11) and roasted mission figs ($10) were as satisfying to eat as they were to Instagram. That's the thing about Chickadee: It doesn't forget the foundations of fine dining even as it responds to the demands of a new era.
It's a common pattern—in careers as well as in children—to idolize our parents or mentors at the outset, rebel in adolescence, and eventually arrive in adulthood at a sympathetic comprehension that respects, but does not always follow, the path of our predecessors. Chickadee doesn't feel exactly like the storied restaurants on the résumés of its founding team, and it doesn't want to. It has clearly set its own high goals. It's consistently solid, often excellent, and shows great potential. A team that can turn out food this beautiful will surely spread its wings and fly high.

Grass-roots rebellion challenges rule of eminent domain as local governments take private land and sell it to private interests.
Richard Beyer is visibly worried as he listens to the midnight darkness for any sound of bulldozers. With a city demolition permit now in effect, two neighboring homes he's labored to rebuild over the past six years could be toppled like dominoes at any time.
His words puffing into the frosty air, Mr. Beyer recalls how he and 12 other property owners in this 90-acre Fort Trumbull neighborhood in Connecticut received an offer they weren't supposed to refuse: sell their homes and businesses to the city to make way for a new hotel, private health club, and office space, or their properties would be seized.
"This is what you would see in the old days when the mafia existed," says Beyer, whose homes - for now, at least - have been spared by a temporary court injunction after a vigil by concerned property-rights advocates.
From Mississippi to Pennsylvania to New York, grass-roots groups like these New Londoners are staging urban rebellions against government attempts to seize property and hand it over to private businesses and developers.
While federal and state constitutions have provisions for governments to condemn property - with the provisio that owners are paid "just compensation" and that the land be taken only for "public use" - this power of eminent domain has traditionally been exercised for building roads, infrastructure, or utilities.
Increasingly, though, local governments have interpreted "public use" to include new businesses in areas that have been declared blighted. In 1954 and again in 1984, the Supreme Court ruled that deciding what constitutes a public use is not a judicial matter. "They said any conceivable public benefit is enough to justify expropriation of a single individual," says Richard Epstein, legal theorist and author of "Takings, Private Property and Eminent Domain" (Harvard).
Property-rights advocates contend that, so long as governments have the leeway to say they are acting for the greater good, and constitutional rights for individuals are no longer primary - they can always be trumped. The result, they say, is that governments often abuse eminent-domain powers to act as "super real-estate brokers" - facilitating cheap property grabs for the politically connected. Local governments counter that these eminent-domain takings are measures of last resort employed to serve communities by bringing in new businesses to broaden the tax base and encourage urban renewal in stagnant areas.
The old Italian neighborhood of Fort Trumbull, which has been leveled by bulldozers, leaving just a few homes standing unscathed next to the rubble, is just one of many battlefields between urban planners and property owners making national headlines.
* Last week the Illinois Supreme Court upheld seizure of an auto scrap yard to be used as parking space for a neighboring racetrack. The racetrack approached the Southwestern Illinois Development Authority (SWIDA) to seize the land after seeing an agency promotional brochure advertising that it would condemn land for economic development. The application form asked the racetrack to specify whether the condemnation was for a "public use" or "private use." SWIDA charged the racetrack a 6 percent commission for a "private use" condemnation.
* A judge struck down Atlantic City's attempt to seize two businesses and a home so casino-owner Donald Trump could build a limousine waiting area.
* In New Rochelle, N.Y., an entire neighborhood was due to be demolished for a 17-acre IKEA furniture store. IKEA recently pulled out after vigorous campaigning by citizens, but the mayor hasn't ruled out using eminent domain to bring other businesses to the area.
* Last November, a local group called Citizens for Property Rights persuaded 70 percent of voters in Baltimore County, Md., to repeal a law that gave expanded eminent-domain authority for economic redevelopment to the county government.
* A public outcry forced the mayor of Pittsburgh to abandon plans to remove 125 businesses in the downtown area to make way for a shopping mall. Bill Robinson, a Democrat, and Daryl Metcalfe, a Republican, are collaborating in the Pennsylvania legislature to curb eminent-domain powers as a result.
"There's a nationwide so-called property-rights movement occurring, and it's manifesting itself ... in these kinds of challenges," says Melvyn Durschlag, a professor of law at Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland.
He says it reflects a broad perception that government is restricting individual liberties.
"I'd always thought the home was supposed to be your sanctuary," says Ms. Kelo, tears welling up.
But are the remaining holdouts stymieing progress?
"The public benefit to this is far and away beyond the price that's being paid by a very small number of the community," says Christopher Riley, a spokesperson for the New London Development Corporation (NLDC), a private, nonprofit organization granted eminent-domain powers to redevelop the city. In New London, the proposed hotel conference center and 80 units of housing will act as a sweetener for the Pfizer Pharmaceutical Corp., which is building a new plant adjacent to the neighborhood. Pfizer has given the NLDC $2 million to assist its endeavors. Mr. Riley points out that the proposed developments and Pfizer's investment will generate $12.5 million in local taxes and create more than 5,000 jobs. This is crucial, Riley says, for the sixth-poorest city in Connecticut.
"You have a public that is not in the mood to increase their taxes, and yet that same public is demanding increased services. So what is a municipality to do?" asks Professor Durschlag.
Eminent-domain seizures facilitate urban renewal, says Jeff Finkle, executive director of the council for Urban Economic Development, in Washington, D.C. "There is an overriding public good to allowing a private property to be taken if you're going to have an increase in property taxes on that same property," Mr. Finkle says, adding that, too often properties in urban areas contribute to urban sprawl because they aren't being put to their "highest and best use."
"You cannot have economic development at the expense of constitutional rights," says Scott Bullock, an attorney for the Institute for Justice, a Washington, D.C.-based public interest law firm that has litigated on behalf of many property owners in eminent-domain cases. "If you go down that path, there's really no turning back from it, because the government can always find a 'better use' for your property."
The NLDC claims to own Bill Von Winkle's Fort Trumbull delicatessen and residential property after serving him notice of the eminent-domain seizure.
"There's just a bunch of greedy people who want my property next to the water for profit," opines Mr. Von Winkle, "maybe they now see what I saw 16 years ago when I started buying here."
Von Winkle was offered $300,000 for his properties as compensation for the eminent-domain seizure. It's a figure, he says, that would only cover the cost of renovation materials.
Durschlag says displaced businesses can't be justly compensated for the loss of their customer base if they're forced to move. Nor are targets of eminent domain compensated for the loss of good neighbors, or even for the move. Additionally, government appraisals tend to undervalue properties, which is why people resist moving, says Richard Epstein: "Since you're paying too little for the land, you get all sorts of people who pressure city hall and say, 'Look, give it to me, I'll pay you back your expenses.' You get corruption over and over again."
An eminent-domain case may be referred to the Supreme Court in the next five years, but the justices may be unwilling to revisit the issue, Mr. Epstein says.
"For now the battles are in the states," says Mr. Bullock, currently preparing to represent Richard Beyer, Bill von Winkle, Suzette Kelo and the other homeowners in court next month. "Property rights are for everyone, not just the rich." "The poor aren't politically powerful unless you have property protections."


All of this may be moot, however because sources on Capital Hill are saying that Bush doesn't want war at all! That come Nov. 5, Bush will suddently start talking about how the United Nations is a useful body after all, and that inspectors will be allowed to do their job. I'm told Bush doesn't want to be looking at an occupied Iraq two years from now when we have guerilla fighting in Baghdad suburbs, a massive drain on the national economy and a stable oil supply only because United States occupation forces keep Kurds, Shi'ites and Sunni Arabs (not to mention Turkomen and Iranians) from each others' throats. Add to that a daily trickle of body bags as one or two GIs die every couple of days. That wouldn't be very fun to run on, would it? Especially since Bush avoided the horrors of a long, drawn out guerilla war once before!

ECU's Dr. Hamby Named To The Journal Record's 2014 Fifty Women Making A Difference
Dr. Shelley Ross Hamby, East Central University's assistant vice president for presidential projects and planning, has been named to The Journal Record's 2014 Fifty Women Making a Difference.
Hamby will be recognized at the 2014 Journal Record Woman of the Year awards gala on Thursday, Oct. 2 at the National Cowboy and Western Heritage Museum in Oklahoma City.
The event honors 50 female business and community leaders from across the state.
"It has been truly a humbling experience," said Hamby, who was nominated for the award by Ann Ackerman, Ph.D., chief executive officer of Leadership Oklahoma.
As part of being selected for one of the 50 slots, Hamby received an invitation to submit personal information and provide two letters of recommendation.
One of her most significant accomplishments is directing the Presidential Leadership Program on the ECU campus, which was reestablished during the 2010-11 academic year. The program began with 15 freshmen that year and has blossomed into an average of 75 students.
"It is important to me for my students to explore various aspects of leadership," Hamby said. "From governmental leaders to educational leaders, from business leaders to non-profit leaders, my students learn the importance of giving back, how to network and, in the end, how to discover their passion for service."
Since a majority of the program takes place outside of the normal 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. work day, she often has times of long nights and/or weekends. She has driven the students to field trips, including a tour of the University of Oklahoma Cancer Treatment Center with former Lt. Gov. Jari Askins, meeting with Harold Hamm and having lunch with him at Continental Resources and exploring the Noble Foundation Research Center in Ardmore. Hamby has also coordinated and sponsored three summer leadership retreats for the students, providing them with an opportunity to explore Oklahoma.
She considers one of her personal highlights, coordinating the Oklahoma movie premiere of Sewing Hope and hosting Sister Rosemary Nyirumbe from Uganda on campus. Since 8,233 miles separate Ada from Gulu, Uganda, Hamby figured it to be about 14,490,080 yards of thread. If 28,980 spools of thread were collected and donated, it would reach Gulu, Uganda. Many spools of thread were donated during the premiere.
"These spools represented an opportunity for the Gulu women to support themselves and their families. Each spool will help create two to three garments for the women to sell," said Hamby. "My students had a hand in making a difference. To watch the students take ownership of this project and to see them make a difference, not only in our community, but in the world will be a memory I will always treasure."
Mary Melon, president and publisher of The Journal Record, said women continue to play a huge role in their businesses, organization and communities.
"The Journal Record started the Woman of the Year program in 1981 to recognize what was then called a 'growing segment of the workforce.' That growth has been phenomenal over the years, though women still have much to accomplish in terms of equity in pay and presence in top corporate positions and in government," Melon said. "This important program allows us to provide our accomplished honorees with the recognition they deserve and, hopefully, continue to shine the spotlight on the valuable leadership role that women play in our state."

Whole Health Action Management (WHAM) is a peer-led intervention to facilitate self-management to reach whole health goals through peer coaching and support groups. It is a method of utilizing the power of peer support to support healthcare delivery, and to counter high rates of chronic physical health conditions such as diabetes, heart disease and obesity among those with behavioral health diagnoses.
The SAMHSA-HRSA Center for Integrated Health Solutions (CIHS) developed the WHAM program to "encourage increased resiliency, wellness, and self-management of health and behavioral health among people with mental illnesses, substance use disorders, and chronic physical health conditions."
WHAM is based on a collaboration between peers and health professionals. Peers encourage clients to get routine health exams and comply with physician recommendations. They frequently discuss common health behaviors such as smoking cessation, physical exercise, stress reduction, and healthy food choices. WHAM is very similar to Peer Support Whole Health and Resiliency

WHAM facilitators participate in a 2-day training, which then enables them to train others in WHAM. Participants receive six hours of instruction spread over up to three weeks, followed by an 8-week WHAM-focused support group as they work toward, achieve, and maintain whole health goals.

History

The WHAM model is based on a pilot program led by Larry Fricks when in 2013 Georgia received federal approval to bill Medicaid for peer support specialists to provide health coaching., as well as the earlier the chronic disease self-management Health and Recovery Peer (HARP) Program. Since then, Fricks and his colleagues have trained peers across the country on the model under the name Whole Health Action Management. In 2014, Spanish-language resources were produced to implement the program in the Latino community. Presbyterian Healthcare Services in New Mexico has trained over 600 of their staff in WHAM. Between 2012 and 2016, over 3000 people have been trained in the WHAM model.

Content

WHAM facilitators are trained in teaching skills to promote health factors utilizing a "whole health perspective". These skills target the following health factors:
 Stress management
 Healthy eating
 Physical activity
 Restful sleep
 Service to others
 Support network
 Optimism based on positive expectations
 Cognitive skills to avoid negative thinking
 Spiritual beliefs and practices
 A sense of meaning and purpose

Peer specialists are trained to help clients:
 Elicit the relaxation response to manage stress
 Engage in cognitive skills to avoid negative thinking
 Identify strengths and supports in 10 science-based whole health and resiliency factors
 Know basic whole health screenings and prepare for them
 Participate in peer support to create new health behavior
 Write a concise and achievable whole health goal and weekly action plans as part of a person-centered planning process
 Use shared decision-making skills and tools for engaging with doctors

Palmer says US supports Serbia's European integration
Published on Wednesday, 06 November 2019 08:25
The US special envoy for the Western Balkans Matthew Palmer reiterated Washington's strong support for the strategic European integration goal of Serbia and the entire region, the Serbian Foreign Ministry said in a press release following Palmer's meeting with Foreign Minister Ivica Dacic.
The press release said that they exchanged views on topical regional and bilateral issues and expressed support for resumption of the Belgrade-Pristina dialogue as soon as possible.
They were also reported to have discussed issues of regional peace, stability and security and the economic prosperity and reforms in the countries of the Western Balkans.

Opposition leader files criminal charges against Serbia's President, minister
Zoran Zikovic, the leader of Serbia's opposition New Party told reporters on Tuesday he had filed criminal charges against President Aleksandar Vucic, Interior Minister Nebojsa Stefanovic and his father Branko, as well as against the former director of the Krusik ammunition factory Mladen Petkovic, after a whistle-blower linked them to suspicious arms trade, the Beta news agency reported.
Speaking outside the Prosecutors' Office for Organised Crime, Zivkovic said he accused the four of being a part of a criminal group and abuse of office in the arms trade.
Zivkovic added he accused Vucic of organising the criminal group in 2017, "to sell Krusik - made arms to the GIM company owned by Branko Stefanovic at 30 percent lower price."
"Until now, the whistle-blowers pointed at the crimes involving arms trade, but it's time for criminal charges," Zivkovic said.
He also charged Vucic of "protecting Nebojsa and Branko Stefanovic" and "banned criminal proceedings against them, telling the untruth" about their role in the arms deals after Aleksandar Obradovic, the Krusik's whistle-blower spoke out.
Zivkovic announced he would also file criminal charges against Vucic for "covering up" the murderers of Kosovo Serb politician Oliver Ivanovic, gunned down in northern Mitrovica in January 2018, adding Serbia's President had publicly said he knew who they were but failed to inform the prosecutors about it.

US: Belgrade – Pristina agreement must be acceptable to us too
The US sees room for the resumption of Belgrade – Pristina dialogue on the normalisation of relations if Pristina abolishes the import tariffs on goods from Serbia and Belgrade stops its "campaign to delegitimise Kosovo," Matthew Palmer, the State Department's Special Envoy to the Western Balkans, says, the KoSSev website reports.
He told the RTV, state TV from Serbia's northern Vojvodina province, that the aim of the dialogue, on hold for a year, was a mutual recognition while it should include a wide range of issues, like security, protection of cultural heritage, minority rights, economic cooperation.
Palmer reiterated that the Washington – Pristina relations were firm, but said Kosovo needed the European perspective since "it would not become the 51st US state."
He also said that the US considered mutual recognition as an ideal solution, though it understood Serbia's refusal to recognise the independence of its former province.
Since mutual recognition was a problematic issue, he added, "there are some things which could be easier for both sides to agree on at this moment and that will improve the current situation. But, that's not up to me to decide. They must do that on their own."
Still, Palmer warned that the US would not approve any deal in advance. "We want to see what the two sides would come up with, to inform us about that, and if we have some issues, we will approach both sides to fix them."
"If both sides want our support in implementation (what they agree on), our political support, then we would like to get a deal which is OK," he added.

Vucic says he will be replaced as Serbian ruling party leader
Published on Tuesday, 05 November 2019 09:06
President Aleksandar Vucic said on Monday that he would be replaced soon as leader of the ruling Serbian Progressive Party (SNS), adding that the people who take over from him would continue to win at elections.
"Let me tell you, I know what N1 wants to hear – when will I be ousted within the SNS, as SNS leader. Soon, but don't worry. Even the people who take over from me will have no problem beating the people who robbed Serbia," Vucic told a news conference after a session of the SNS Presidency.
He said the party would field more new young people at the coming parliamentary, provincial and local elections and added that its goal is to win an absolute majority of 126 seat in parliament or 46 percent of the vote. The Serbian parliament has a total of 250 MPs.
Vucic said that the list of candidates for the parliamentary elections will include 20 percent of young and unsullied people adding that he wants similar people as candidates at provincial and local elections. He said that the dirty campaign being waged against SNS officials is making its mark which is why "new blood" is needed to set a new pace in a good direction.
"Our goals are clear. We will stand in regular parliamentary, provincial and local elections , most probably late in March, with the aim of trying to convince the people that we have worked hard and responsibly and that we have taken the right decisions," he said, adding that everything that the progress he claims was made was achieved thanks to the will of the people who understood the difficult reforms.
Vucic refused to speak about coalition partners and said that the SNS Presidency wants the party assembly held after the elections.

Dutch FM to Belgrade: Rule of law and freedom of media must improve
The Netherlands' Foreign Minister Stef Blok told reporters after meeting his Serbia's counterpart Ivica Dacic that it was clear the country belonged to Europe, but that he believed the states had to honour all the rules to be ready to become the European Union's member, the FoNet news agency reported on Monday.
He added that Belgrade did a lot of reforms, but that the progress was needed in the rule of law and media freedom as well as in the protection of media and punishment for the attacks on journalists who, he said, should feel safe while doing their job.
Referring to the media freedom, Blok said that "we as the Union could make it a pre-condition for joining the EU."
He added that the two discussed the EU accession, security in the region and reforms, adding Serbia had impressive financial results.
Dacic said that for the sake of improving bilateral relations it would be good for the Dutch Prime Minister to accept the invitation fro visiting Belgrade.
He thanked The Netherlands for support of the EU integrations and added Serbia started the reforms to strengthen the society's capacity.
Dacic said the speed of the integration depended on Pristina. "Serbia wants a compromise in which there won't be winners, but that the winners would be all our nations who live here," he said.

Kosovo Serb says Serb List election victory not credible
Kosovo Serb politician Aleksandar Jablanovic said on Monday that the credibility of the percentage of votes won by the Belgrade-backed Serb List was doubtful.
Jablanovic, leader of the Party of Kosovo Serbs, told a local TV station in Gracanica, he is opposed to the Serb List because it is not a credible representative of the Kosovo Serbs and added that the 97 percent of the vote are vote it claims to have won were "stolen". He said that his party has proof of election fraud which will be submitted to the Central Election Commission.
Jablanovic warned that the Serb community in Kosovo has been pushed aside and can't trust Belgrade or Pristina. He added that it should be directly involved in the Brussels dialogue because it is about their future. "The Belgrade-Pristina dialogue will define some of Serbia's interests in Kosovo but it will determine the future of the Serbs in Kosovo," he said and added that not everything that Belgrade is negotiating is in the best interests of the Kosovo Serbs. "The negotiations are meant to buy time and get points to ease Serbia's path to the European Union," he said.

Student protest over beatings in Novi Sad
Students in the northern Serbian city of Novi Sad organized a protest on Monday, demanding that the police find the men who beat up two students during a June protest by environmental activists.
The protest under the slogan Stop state Repression was held in front to the University Law School. Students Mihajlo Nikolic and Marko Djelevic, both activists of the Roof Overhead initiative, were beaten up on the university campus on June 8. A third student, Dejan Bagaric, was beaten up the next day following a 1 in 5 Million protest.
Activist Miran Pogacar told N1 that the silence of institutions is a sign that these were cases of state repression. "We have violence perpetrated not only by the state but also by thugs who beat up three people on the university campus. That is one form of violence which is tolerated. The perpetrators have not been found," he said, adding that his fellow activists asked the police about the investigation and found that it was not being conducted.
Two young men appeared at the protest claiming to be students and shouting abuse at the protesters. They told N1 that the students had been beaten for carvings on trees not over the protest.

Vucic: Palmer tells me what he doesn't like in Serbia's politics
The US Department special envoy for the Western Balkans Matthew Palmer told reporters after meeting Serbia's President Aleksandar Vucic that the European Union's failure to set a date for the accession negotiations with North Macedonia and Albania, was a historic mistake, adding his country supported the EU's integration of the whole region, N1 reported.
He added "America wants the whole Western Balkans to have a European perspective, and we will do whatever we can to persuade the EU to change its stand before their meeting in Zagreb," Palmer said.
Asked about the next Kosovo government, Palmer said: "that it's clear Serb List won great support of Kosovo's Serbs and the right to be represented in Pristina's Government."
Vucic said his meeting with Palmer was open and frank, and that he was satisfied with their talk.
"I'm satisfied because we went through all disputed issues, all the differences between us, while determined to finding future solutions which will be good for bilateral relations between Serbia and US, but also a constructive approach and an attempt to return to the dialogue with Pristina as soon as possible," Vucic told reporters.
He also said he was "grateful to Palmer for being ready to listen to what we think. I talked to him about all disputed issues, but don't like to retell in public. Palmer told me what he doesn't like in Serbia's politics. I think that we made some issues more explicit."
Vucic said that it was well known that Belgrade and Washington had a different position regarding Kosovo and added he believed the conditions for the resumption of the dialogue on the normalisation of relations with Pristina would be created in two or three months. Serbia's President reiterated the invitation to his US counterpart Donald Trump to visit Serbia.

Kosovo PM: Serbia to stop madness before it's too late
Kosovo's outgoing Prime Minister Ramush Haradinaj warned that Serbia's permanent arming with the Russian and Chinese military equipment was a direct threat to Kosovo, the Kosovo online website reported on Monday.
"This permanent arming (armoured vehicles, anti-aircraft defence system, drones…) is a direct threat to Kosovo, a fragile peace in the region and Euro-Atlantic perspective. Serbia must stop this madness before it's too late," Haradinaj wrote on his Facebook profile.
Earlier, some European Union officials said they were concerned about Belgrade's deepening links with Moscow and China and its reluctance to harmonise its foreign policy with that of the bloc.
Serbia's President Aleksandar Vucic, however, advised the region to cooperate with third countries after the EU practically stopped the enlargement by despite promise failing to give the green light to Tirana and Skopje for opening the accession talks with the Union.

Dutch Foreign Minister worries about Serbia's Journalists' safety
Stef Blok, the Dutch Foreign Minister, said late on Sunday The Netherlands was seriously concerned about the safety of Serbia's journalists and that his country was carefully watching the situation in the area, the Beta news agency reported.
He said The Netherlands highly appreciated the freedom of expression and that the country had a dialogue, flourishing democracy, and the journalists had the main role in those processes.
"In the cases of pressure or attacks on journalists, the media and civil society should be active and put pressure (on the authorities) to solve the case. But that is not enough. It is a must to bring all perpetrators to justice and stop the atmosphere of impunity," Blok told the Belgrade Danas daily ahead of his visit to Serbia.
He welcomed the work on the Media strategy in Serbia, "though after a long process which was not free from problems," and added he hoped it would be adopted and implemented soon since that was the most important.
Commenting on the rule of law area, Blok said The Netherlands recognised the reforms Serbia conducted for years, but that it was also concerned about the lack of progress in the fight against corruption or the strengthening of the independence of the judiciary.
Asked about the idea on territory swap between Serbia and Kosovo or the division between the Serbs and Albanians along the ethnic border, Blok said one should be very careful with such ideas especially bearing in mind the conflict in the recent past.
"That's why The Netherlands believes that any solution regarding the territories must be in line with international law, meaning that the opinion of the people who would be directly affected must be taken into account," Bloc said.

The "Metla 2020" (Broom 2020) movement formally began its work in the Sava Centre, on Sunday.
The movement's backbone are the Democratic Party of Serbia (DSS), The Group for Serbia's prosperity, the Team for Life Association, as well as the Natives from Kraljevo.
The group was formed out of discontent with the present political situation in the country, but they are yet to decide whether they would take part in the upcoming election.
They say want to change the way Serbian citizens elect their representatives, and they have chosen the name of Broom because "There's a lot of cleaning to do."
The movement was joined by the head of the Serbian Military Union, Novica Antic, who will serve as an independent member.
"Our desire and the intention is to return the abducted state of Serbia back to the people and simply to clean Serbia of all the bad things that have happened to us in recent years," said Novica Antic.
"Let's break the hold of political parties, then you will also break the cycle of political employments, party employments, influence on the media, public affairs, tenders, the fraudulent economy that rules Serbia. Until we do that, we won't be able to implement the not even the best economic and welfare programme. That is the first and basic goal that we must achieve if we are to heal - to finally set the country straight," said DSS leader Milos Jovanovic.

Godfrey: I do not plan on holding lessons, the US stance on Kosovo unchanged
The Newly-appointed US Ambassador to Serbia Anthony Godfrey said he does not plan on giving lessons to Serbian leaders but hopes for an open dialogue, and added that the US' stance on Kosovo has not changed.
"I do not plan to give any lessons to Serbian leaders, nor will I have that approach. I hope for an open dialogue, and when I need to tell them difficult things, I will tell them directly, in private conversations, as much as possible, because that way the diplomatic work is most effective," Godfrey told Politico.
Speaking about the views of US envoys for the Western Balkans, Matthew Palmer, as well as about Richard Grenel's Belgrade-Pristina dialogue, he said that they both seek a resumption of the Belgrade-Pristina dialogue, they encourage it and they are helping Pristina and Belgrade come to a solution that will benefit both sides.

US special envoy for Western Balkans to continue regional talks
US Secretary of State Special Representative for the Western Balkans Matthew Palmer is scheduled to continue his visit to the region next week with a visit to Belgrade, where he will meet with Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic and other officials.
According to the US Embassy in Belgrade, Palmer is expecting a meeting with Vucic and other officials, as well as ambassadors from neighbouring countries and representatives of various political parties to discuss the importance of returning to the Belgrade-Pristina dialogue, as well as other issues of regional importance.
In talks with Kosovo President Hashim Thaci, on Friday, Palmer focused his attention on the issue of reaching a comprehensive agreement between Kosovo and Serbia, Thaci's cabinet said.

Palmer: Vucic and Serbia know they cannot join EU before agreement with Kosovo
The US envoy to the Western Balkans, the State Department Deputy Assistant Secretary Mathew Palmer said in Pristina on Friday Serbia would suffer both politically and economically if no agreement with Kosovo was reached, N1 reported.
Addressing the students and NGOs representatives, Palmer said the US would not impose any agreement without the consent from both sides and the approval of both parliaments, adding Serbia would not join the EU without the normalisation of relations with Kosovo.
He said that as soon as a deal was reached, the things would move forward.
"President Vucic and the majority in Serbia know they cannot join the EU until they resolve the long-term dispute with Kosovo. As long as the leading officials refuse to treat Kosovo as a neighbour instead of its property, there will be hold-ups which will inflict damage to Serbia both politically and economically," Palmer said.
He added that "Serbia should focus on overall strategic interests. It was aggressive in delegitimising Kosovo. The campaign for the withdrawal of the recognition of Kosovo and the blockage of its membership to international institutions should stop. The intimidation of Serbia's political representatives on the border should stop. These measure of confrontation should stop on both sides. They only burden the atmosphere for an agreement which Serbia needs to achieve full potential and open its European road."
Earlier, he told Kosovo's President Hashim Thaci that Pristina could open the door peace with an agreement with Serbia.
In the meeting in Kosovo's capital, the two discussed the dialogue on the normalisation of relation between Belgrade and Pristina and the need to form Kosovo's institutions quickly, Thaci's office said in a statement.

2023 Anime Awards' Categories Revealed!
Posted on December 13, 2022 December 13, 2022 by Ricardo C. in Anime/Manga
Crunchyroll, the international brand serving fans with the ultimate anime experience, is announcing today the categories for the seventh annual 2023 Crunchyroll Anime Awards, which will be held for the first time in Tokyo on Saturday, March 4, 2023.
Categories that will be announced during the Anime Awards live event in Tokyo include:
Anime of the Year – This is the show that sets the standard for anime over the last year, towering over all others. Its compelling story, beautiful artistic execution, unforgettable characters all combine in a unique way to create a masterpiece that deserves singular recognition. Whether the show was an unexpected hit, or delivered on fans' high expectations, Anime of the Year represents absolute excellence.
Best Animation – Here we recognize anime that are visually stunning in the ways they bring their stories to life. No matter the style of animation, these shows provide a visual feast for viewers to enjoy, immersing audiences into previously unimaginable worlds.
Best Anime Song – This category recognizes a vocalist, instrumental, soloist, duo, group, or collaborative recording played during any part of an anime series. These are the songs that get stuck in your head, make you want to sing along, or give you a rush of emotion.
Best Character Design -. This category celebrates artists who have either created iconic anime characters or breathed life into one from other sources like manga or light novels. Thanks to their understanding of design principles, great character designers can tell a story from how someone is drawn, while the legendary ones create characters you recognize by their silhouette.
Best Comedy – Whether they catch you off guard with a unique point of view, or the dialogue seems crafted by a stand-up comedian, these are the shows that make you laugh out loud and have your side hurting by the end.
Best Continuing Series – Sustaining excellence is no small feat, particularly when it comes to anime. Considering all the creativity, effort, and planning that goes into one season, the ability to hold a fan's attention year after year is worthy of celebration.
Best Director – To paraphrase Hayao Miyazaki, "An anime is a reflection of its director." Of central importance, directors work behind the scenes, conveying their vision and imagination to animators, making critical decisions, and managing the creative aspects of production.
Best Fantasy – Best Fantasy is all about imagination, creativity, and a bit of magic. These shows don't just take us to other worlds, they craft deep, original universes full of mythical creatures where even the smallest detail is fueled by ideas that previously were unthought.
Best Film – Here we celebrate non-episodic anime with runtimes longer than a standard episode, whether they were released in theaters, on DVD, or online. The best of the best live up to the hype, leaving fans wondering where the time went.
Best Original Anime – An original anime is not adapted from source material; it is entirely a unique creation. While that itself is an accomplishment, these shows also present an impactful and entertaining story that elevates the title to another level.
Best Romance – A great romance can thaw the heart of the coldest cynic. These captivating stories draw us in and remind us of the best part of being alive. With their hopeful messages, these shows find a way to make you believe in the power of love.
Best Score – A vital part of an unforgettable anime is the original music composed for it. A well-crafted score adds another dimension of depth and emotion to any scene with compositions that are not only tightly associated with an anime, but can also stand alone as masterpieces of music.
Presenter's Choice – Crunchyroll has invited a special guest to present an award of their choice to an honored contributor. It is an opportunity to recognize a person, studio, or company for a variety of reasons, including celebrating a milestone, overcoming something daunting, or achieving something inspirational. NOTE: This winner is determined by the special guest(s).
Special Achievement Award – This award serves to recognize a person, studio, or company (in the past or the present) that has impacted the industry in a remarkable way. Without their contributions, anime would not be where it is today, so this award implies reaching legendary status. NOTE: This winner is determined by an industry panel selected by the Crunchyroll team.
Additional categories that will be announced during Crunchyroll's global livestream event for fans include:
"Must Protect At All Cost" Character – These are the characters that make the world feel like a kinder, more special place. Whether they're an earnest protagonist who always gets back up or a pure hearted cinnamon roll who holds a group together, these characters remind us that there are some things in life worth protecting.
Best Action – This category rewards a show that has action at its core. These titles should leave the audience with their hearts pounding, their palms sweaty, and everyone gasping for breath at the mind-blowing sequences that were depicted.
Best Drama – These anime convey something essential about the human experience. Their mastery of building and relieving tension sets fans on the edge of their seats, feeling all their feelings, compelling them to invest deeply in the characters and their stories.
Best Ending Sequence – Similar to the opening, an unforgettable ending sequence pairs design and music to delight and surprise. Often a place where the art style can be taken in entirely new directions, a great closing sequence lets viewers catch their breath and enjoy small moments with a character.
Best Main Character – Whether hero, anti-hero, or villain, a main character is the face of their series. But it's not just their personalities or characteristics that make them beloved, it's their well-developed stories and the journeys they take us on that make them worthy.
Best New Series – While countless new anime are created each year, this category honors the series and spin-offs that stand out. These instant classics possess something unique that keep viewers transfixed and passionately awaiting season two.
Best Opening Sequence – Through striking visuals and irresistible music, a great opening sequence sets the table for what's to come. Whether it's creating a quirky mood for an off-beat rom-com, or striking a dark and serious tone for suspense, a memorable opening has as much creativity and passion as the show it introduces.
Best Supporting Character – This category celebrates sidekicks like they were number one. Supporting characters come in all shapes and sizes, but the best among them are able to shine as bright as their main character counterparts when called upon.
Best Voice Actor Performance – Renowned voice artists not only breathe additional life into design, they also re-envision what a character sounds like in a different language. Through their command of tone and the emotions their voices elicit, these talented artists add depth, transforming anime characters into anime icons. This award will be honored to voice actors across Arabic, Castilian, English, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Portuguese, and Spanish.
"We are thrilled to celebrate the exceptional storytelling that has captured the hearts and minds of anime fans around the world," said Rahul Purini, President of Crunchyroll. "We owe so much to the creators, artists and producers that delivered some of the most meaningful moments in global pop culture this past year."
Nominees in each of the votable categories will be selected by the Anime Awards judges, which represent more than 50 anime creatives, tastemakers, and influencers from around the world. The full list of judges can be found here. Anime Awards nominees will be announced early next year and fans are encouraged to vote across all categories.
