SMITH: I shouldn't pay much attention to what mr Mugabe says. He is riding around on Cloud Nine with a camouflaged terrorist uniform, you know. He doesn't know anything about it, quite frankly, does he. I don't think he's ever heard a shot fired in anger in his life."
MUGABE:"Whatever settlement Smith works out, even with the connivance of Britain, has no effect upon our own war. It's bound to continue. The armed struggle will continue until a settlement of our own liking emerges. I've said time and time again that we are using the instrument of war to create peace. If peace were to come tomorrow, you see in other words, if a settlement were possible tomorrow, we would lay down our arms without any qualms."
Background: With elections, on a one-man, one-vote basis, now less than two months away, Rhodesia appears to have started a military campaign that is designed to thwart guerrilla efforts aimed at disrupting the elections. On Tuesday (20 February) Rhodesian bombers struck at a guerrilla storage complex about eight kilometres (50 miles) inside Mozambique. It was the second operation in black Africa in three days, and directed at the wing of the Patriotic Front guerrilla alliance that is headed by Robert Mugabe.
SYNOPSIS: Mr Mugaba, who is 45 this month, has been involved for nineteen years in the fight to bring an end to white rule in Rhodesia, and to the creation of an independent Zimbabwe.
His involvement with politics began in 1960. This is the inaugural meeting in Salisbury of the National Democratic Party. Mr Mugabe, as publicity secretary, chaired the congress meeting. For the previous eighteen years, he had been involved in teaching. He had been educated at a mission school, and later a university. His involvement with politics led to three periods of detention, the last spanning ten years, until 1974.
From October 1976, he has headed the Patriotic Front Guerrilla alliance with Joshua Nkomo. Their pact, though powerful, has been uneasy. Mr Mugabe's wing has the most guerrillas and had been more involved in military action. This month further signs of disagreement emerged.
Mr Mugabe had said that in a military victory, his movement having done the most fighting was entitled to the reins of government.
His relations with Rhodesia's Prime Minister Ian Smith at times have been openly hostile. Returning from the failed 1976 Geneva talks, Mr Smith spoke in disparaging terms about Mr Mugabe.
SMITH:"I shouldn't pay much attention to what Mr Mugabe says. He is riding round on Cloud Nine with a camouflaged terrorist uniform, you know. He doesn't know anything about it, quite frankly, does he. I don't think he's ever heard a shot fired in anger in his life."
Negotiations on the Anglo-American proposals for independence now seem to have failed. A year after attending the Malta talks, Mr Mugabe has dismissed the initiative as unacceptable.
This month, he said the Patriotic Front will accept aid from any country which supports its aims for independence. This visit last year to Ethiopia was to solicit further material and diplomatic aid. Though Mr Mugabe is willing to accept military aid, he insists that only his forces will do the fighting.
Two years ago, he stated war was the only path to peace -- was the only path to peace -- a view he still holds.

Peter Kinderman – Why We Need a Revolution in Mental Health Care
This week on MIA Radio, we chat with Professor Peter Kinderman. Peter is Professor of Clinical Psychology at the University of Liverpool, honorary Consultant Clinical Psychologist with Mersey Care NHS Trust and Clinical Advisor for Public Health England, UK. He was 2016-2017 President of the British Psychological Society (BPS) and twice chair of the BPS Division of Clinical Psychology. His research activity and clinical work concentrate on serious and enduring mental health problems, as well as on how psychological science can assist public policy in health and social care. His previous books include A Prescription for Psychiatry: Why We Need a Whole New Approach to Mental Health and Wellbeing, released in 2013.
In this interview, we discuss Peter's new book, A Manifesto for Mental Health, Why We Need a Revolution in Mental Health Care, which presents a radically new and distinctive outlook that critically examines the dominant 'disease-model' of mental health care.
The book highlights persuasive evidence that our mental health and wellbeing depend largely on the society in which we live, on the things happen to us, and on how we learn to make sense of and respond to those events. Peter proposes a rejection of invalid diagnostic labels, practical help rather than medication, and a recognition that distress is usually an understandable human response to life's challenges.
We discuss:
What led Peter to his interest in psychology, having initially been interested in physics and philosophy.
How his academic and clinical work have influenced each other throughout his career.
Why it is important to challenge mainstream mental health messages, not just as an academic exercise but also for the good of society.
That it is pretty clear that we currently have a very poor system for responding to emotional distress.
How we are not offering real-world help for real-world problems.
That it is vital for us to offer people an alternative framework of understanding to allow them to decide for themselves how best to frame and therefore respond to difficulty.
That Peter has observed changes in language that are helping to support public realisation that 'mental illness' is an idea or theory rather than undeniable fact.
How a psychosocially-based mental health response might work.
That Peter's would like to see psychiatrists treating children to be employed by the authority also in charge of education provision.
How our hierarchical health system gives doctors enormous power.
That the Nordic countries have evolved a more socially-integrated and community-based approach, which better integrates health and social care.
How those that are critical of the illness model are sometimes viewed as 'deniers of real experiences', but that this is a mischaracterisation because it is more about understanding those experiences in a different way or using a different framework.

Psychiatry with its invented illnesses and bad links with drug companies needs to be abolished altogether. Psychotherapy helps, fulstop. Psychiatry is a humanitarian crime and has nothing to do with science. Absolutely nothing.
FC 20/10/2019 at 8:22 pm
Good comments from all but I pirmarily pose this to doctors who agree with some.
"changes in thinking";- this is a natural state of being. A physical illness is also natural but psyche changes are more natural, as PK stipulates, they happen for a reason. Hence, I'm sick of prescribing drugs I know do harm.
Conditions which make children 'unhappy' to a bad degree are, we now know, dangerous.
BUT WE HAVE THE SOLUTIONS.
We have all been perplexed and these states are all 'natural'.
Human 'emotion' changes with the seconds of living. This can be termed: being alive, having been born.
'distress' it is certain, is also a feature of every human psyche. In fact there is a psychiatric term when we do not possess this.
If we are never distressed, the label might be worse.
The best talkers, often in powerful positions, are mostly not the best thinkers. The two mostly oppose oneanother, but not always. I agree it's easy to talk our way through life, but in the end – what do we achieve?
Fiachra 14/10/2019 at 1:10 pm
What I like about Peter Kinderman is that he is prepared to offer 'Psychology' as a reasonable replacement for 'tranquillisers' which in the long run have been proven not to work.
I didn't get on with 'medication' (it disabled me and nearly killed me). But I did quickly recover from what was at that stage diagnosed as "Severe and Induring Mental Illness" with the help of a careful drug withdrawal and basic 'Psychology'.
But, any qualified 'Psychologist' should be able to genuinely recover a 'Chronic Schizophrenic' in the same way.

A lot of prescribing doctors don't even know what AKATHISIA is. They wouldn't even recognise the term.
Retired Physician 29/09/2019 at 11:56 am
Thank you both for this valuable discussion: "Why We Need A Revolution in Mental Health Care".
The American Psychiatric Association Definition reads:
"Mental illnesses are health conditions involving changes in thinking, emotions or behaviour associated with distress, and problems functioning in social, work or family activities".
Whilst welcoming your observation that prescribers are now of the belief that they have "always known that there are side effects to antidepressants": – Might knowledge, awareness, and skill in the differential diagnosis and management of SSRI/SNRI – (and other prescription drug) – induced AKATHISIA be further enhanced?
AKATHISIA-awareness and prompt recognition may be an area where greater prescriber knowledge could achieve significant improvement in patient-outcomes and life-chances in those experiencing this common and life threatening Adverse Drug Reaction. (ADR).
I perceive that for many, or even for most of us (physicians): — Might it be out-with our belief systems, –
(out-with our medical training and out-with our Continuing Medical Education (CME) – and hence, our clinical experience) – to understand and to accept that we can prescribe a trusted drug in good faith, and that this can so rapidly, profoundly and dramatically change the recipient's personality, emotions, thoughts, feelings and behaviours?
(This is a personal perception, of course, – I may be wrong).
In addition to intense and increasing agitation, pacing, aggression and writhing restlessness, the emergence of risk of violence to self and/or others; these diagnostic features of akathisia are exactly those used to "define"- to "diagnose" (and to label for life) – alleged Mental Illness.
(As defined above).
These overwhelming changes are those which families and loved ones are devastated to observe when AKATHISIA rapidly emerges on initiation, during withdrawal, or on changing an SSRI, SNRI or other precipitating drug/s.
I have seen intense akathisia apparently misdiagnosed as "psychotic depression".
Subsequent enforced, multiple, psychotropic drugs exacerbate AKATHISIA and enhance the risk of Serotonin Syndrome and Neuroleptic malignant syndrome.
The resulting Physical, Psychological, Social, Economic and Relationship Injuries are lifelong.
Such diagnostic error is irreversible.
The label becomes labels, and the sequelae are "for life".
Hence: – Might we also need a revolution in fastidious differential diagnosis, and an absolute commitment to meticulous differentiation of serious psychotropic adverse drug reactions from serious mental illness, however difficult this may be?
I recall visiting a secure psychiatric hospital many years ago.
As I looked for the person in charge of the ward I felt a gentle tug on my arm. I turned to look into a young man's face. A face portraying fear of such intensity that I can still see and feel it.
"I don't belong here – can you help me" he quietly said.
Anosognosia or Adverse Drug Reaction. ???
I will never know.
Dekker (2017) observed:
"In order to achieve a just and learning culture when care has not gone as expected or planned, three questions should be asked":
* "Who is hurt"? * "What do they need"? * "Whose obligation is it to meet that need"?
Might it now be pertinent to ask these questions in the context of AKATHISIA?

For Mexico ambush victims, there was no safety in numbers
Austin Cloes shows a photo of relatives Rhonita Miller and her family, who were killed in ambush attacks on Nov. 4, 2019, in Sonora state in northern Mexico.
By Kate LinthicumStaff Writer
Nov. 6, 2019 5:41 PM PT
LA MORA, Mexico —
Over the last few months, members of the close-knit Mormon community in this mountain hamlet began taking new precautions.
Tensions were rising between the criminal group that controlled La Mora, in the northern Mexican state of Sonora, and another cartel that controlled territory in neighboring Chihuahua state.
After two local men went missing while crossing a stretch of desert not far from here, the Mormons — dual U.S.-Mexican citizens who have lived and farmed here for decades — decided that when they traveled, it would be in large caravans only. There was safety in numbers, they believed.
On Monday, three women from the community set out with their children in three sport utility vehicles, heading first for the Arizona border and then to visit another Mormon community several hours away.

Not long after they departed, they were ambushed.
All three women and six of their children were killed when unknown assailants opened fire on the vehicles.
Eight other children, some not old enough to walk, hid in the brush for hours after the attack, with two trekking miles in search of help.
Top Mexican officials have speculated that the group may have been attacked by accident, with Security Secretary Alfonso Durazo saying one cartel may have mistaken the convoy of SUVs for another criminal group.
Trump calls for 'war' on drug cartels after 9 Americans killed in Mexico
The victims, three women and six children, were members of a fundamentalist Mormon sect that has been based for decades in a remote stretch of Mexico southwest of El Paso.
But relatives of the victims don't buy that story. They said the gunmen who killed their family members kept shooting even after one woman stepped from her car to show that there were women and children in the vehicles.

"This was deliberate and intentional," said Loretta Miller, 53, whose daughter-in-law, Rhonita Miller, was killed along with her four children.
"We were the targets," she said in an interview at her home here on Wednesday. "We just don't know why."
The answer may lie in the Mormon community's cordial relationship with the Salazar criminal group that controls illicit activity in the region. The group is aligned with the powerful Sinaloa cartel — once headed by Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman — and is mortal enemies with the Linea, a faction of the Juarez cartel of Chihuahua.
"They run everything here," Miller said.
And largely out of fear, the Mormon community, which runs large pecan and pomegranate farms in this fertile river valley, has not challenged them.
Miller said the cartel frequently set up roadblocks to track who was coming in and out of the area and last year told the Mormons — who settled here decades ago after breaking off with the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints — that they had to buy gasoline from the cartel and couldn't purchase it anywhere else.
Extended members of the LeBarón family, dual Mexican and American citizens who have lived for decades in a breakaway Mormon community near the border, play outside their house in Sonora, Mexico.
The Mormons obeyed. In exchange, cartel members warned them to stay home when they thought there might be violence.
Although nobody in the community knows for sure the meaning behind Monday's attack, some here have speculated that the Juarez cartel wanted to send a message that it controlled the road into Chihuahua state that the caravan of mothers and children was traversing.
Suspect arrested in slaying of 9 Americans in Mexico
A suspect is arrested in Agua Prieta, near the border with Arizona, in connection with the deaths of nine U.S. citizens slaughtered by cartel gunmen.
The attack shocked Mexico, which is in the grip of an unprecedented rise in violence, and raised alarm in the United States, where President Trump tweeted about it, urging Mexico to go to "war" with the country's drug cartels.
As soldiers in camouflage tanks traversed the highways across the region, with others circling La Mora to provide protection, residents here gave interviews to international news outlets while trying to comfort their loved ones and prepare for funerals scheduled for Thursday.
Among the children who survived, five were wounded and were flown to the U.S. for medical care.
After the attack, 13-year-old Devin Blake Langford, one of the few uninjured young people, quickly took charge, eventually walking about 14 miles back to La Mora for help, said Kendra Miller, a relative.
"After witnessing his mother and brothers being shot dead, Devin hid his six other siblings in the bushes and covered them with branches to keep them safe while he went for help," according to the relative's account. "When he took too long to return, his 9-year-old sister left the remaining five to try again."
That girl, Mckenzie Rayne Langford, walked for hours in the dark before she was found several hours after the other children were rescued.
Altogether, the youngsters were on their own from about 11 a.m. until about 7:30 p.m., when they were rescued. Relatives from La Mora tried to reach them before that but were turned back by gunfire from the cartel gunmen.
In recordings of calls between the rescuers, they can be heard debating whether to risk more lives or wait an hour or two for Mexican army troops to arrive. It was an agonizing decision.
What they saw when they found the children was terrifying.
Cody Greyson Langford, 8, had been shot in the jaw and bled profusely. Another girl had been shot in the foot and the back.
The Mormon presence in the region dates to 1886, when the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints began cracking down on polygamists, and a sect that embraced polygamy fled the U.S. and purchased 50,000 acres of land in the Mexican state of Chihuahua.
Massacre of U.S. citizens puts spotlight on Mormon community with deep roots in Mexico
The deadly attack Monday on U.S.-Mexican citizens in northern Mexico has brought renewed attention to the history of fundamentalist Mormon communities that settled in northern Mexico in the 19th century.
In 1944, a member of that community, Dayer LeBaron, acting on what he said was a message from God, moved about 35 miles south and established his own homestead, known as Colonia LeBaron.
The victims were all apparently members of the LeBaron extended family. La Mora, where they lived, is about 70 miles south of the Arizona border.
The LeBaron sect, whose members have now mostly eschewed polygamy, has a turbulent history. In 1993, three people who were part of an offshoot of the group were convicted in Texas of killing three former members and an 8-year-old child.
More recently, the group has clashed with locals over water rights and has also been victim to organized crime.
In 2009, assailants captured and killed two members of the group, including Benjamin LeBaron, a great-grandson of its founder.
LeBaron, a U.S. citizen, had led anti-violence protests after his teenage brother was kidnapped and held for a $1-million ransom. The family refused to pay the ransom and the teenager was eventually released.
Another LeBaron brother, Julian, later became an activist for peace.

Leadership & Lifelong Learning – So Much More Than Amazing Activities And Sights.
There is so much more to a teen travel experience than just traveling. Summer after summer we love nothing more than the feedback from parents sharing with us that their son or daughter has matured, has become more confident and outgoing, is more poised, more responsible and more worldly having had not just the summer of a lifetime, but a life changing experience as well. It's amazing how much growth can occur when you are traveling and sharing the experience with incredible people in a warm and welcoming environment.
As you travel overseas and experience other cultures and customs first hand, your perception will change as your understanding of and empathy for citizens of other countries naturally grows. Whereas prior to your travels media headlines about a foreign government may have led to generalized conclusions, your new interactions with locals and firsthand experience will enable you to see we often share more in common with others than we may have known.
Imagine seeing first hand all you've learned about in a global studies class when you are staring at the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel, walking through the Ancient Forum or listening to the history of the Acropolis.
Our experience lends itself to trying new things and stepping just outside of one's comfort zone. With a taste of age-appropriate independence, and a healthy reprieve from the usual pressures associated with school life, we want you to be empowered and we provide you with an opportunity to grow.
Living, experiencing, and learning together, you will be afforded the chance to interact with other teens who share both similar and different backgrounds and interests. Everybody grows in their social acceptance of others. By the end of the program we hope to have lit a spark – to travel, to learn, to meet new people, to try new things and to explore. With new friendships, new memories and new life skills on which to build, our teen travel experiences are truly unforgettable.
A big part of a journey's success depends on how well you eat. We are proud of the fact that year after year we are complimented for our quality, quantity and choice of food! Breakfasts in Europe are eaten at our hotels and served buffet style with a variety of options. For dinners, either the whole group goes to the same restaurant or we divide into smaller groups of your choosing with our staff. For lunch, you will enjoy eating in smaller groups and choosing from local cafés, bistros and other restaurants. Are you ready for fresh pasta and pizza in Italy, Greek frozen yogurt and delectable feta and gyros? The food in Europe is terrific, so get set to eat extremely well!
In Italy and Greece we travel by a private motor coach. From Italy to Greece as well as between islands, we will travel by ferry. On the resort island of Naxos we travel by a local bus to our SCUBA experience.
You only need to bring one week's worth of clothing as outlined in our packing list. Every week you may drop off your laundry at a local wash and fold service and then pick it up clean, folded and ready to go.

«Архитектурно-художественные памятники городов СССР» — научно-популярная книжная серия, выпускавшаяся издательством «Искусство» в Москве и его отделением в Ленинграде в течение 30-ти лет (с 1958 до 1989 года).

История
Серия логически продолжила тему книг издательства Академии архитектуры СССР 1940-х и 1950-х годов, прервавшихся изданием в 1960 году (серии «Сокровища русского зодчества», «Сокровища зодчества народов СССР», «Архитектура городов СССР»). Вместо тонкой картонной обложки предшественника был применён тканевый переплёт карманного формата, снабжённый бумажной суперобложкой. Также был значительно увеличен объём изданий, их иллюстративный материал.

Несмотря на стилистическое единство оформления изданий, серия довольно продолжительное время не имела собственного обозначения. Обычно в подзаголовок выносились следующие наименования: «Архитектурные памятники», «Художественные памятники», «Архитектурно-художественные памятники», с последующим уточнением города и временного периода. «Архитектурно-художественные памятники городов СССР» — объединяющее название библиографических описаний изданий, связанных единым замыслом.

Оформление книжной серии в середине 1960-х годов претерпело существенное изменение. Первоначально, с 1958 года, над ней работала И. И. Фомина, талантливый книжный график. После её смерти в 1964 году вышло несколько изданий серии, ранее подготовленные ею или оформленные другими художниками (И. С. Клейнард, И. З. Копелян, Т. С. Цинберг), пока оформлением книг популярной серии не занялся известный художник Ф. Б. Збарский, полностью изменивший их стилистику. Получившая с его помощью в 1966 году белый, с чётким золотым тиснением названия, переплёт и характерный корешок (с изображением архитектурных декоративных фрагментов) серия в среде книголюбов стала именоваться «белой», в отличие от «жёлтой серии» того же издательства («Дороги к прекрасному»), начавшей выходить с 1967 года.

Выпуски книг серии до 1972 года (в этом же году Ф. Б. Збарский эмигрировал из СССР) печатались преимущественно в зарубежных типографиях (Хельсинки, Финляндия и Будапешт, Венгрия). С 1973 — в отечественных типографиях в Ленинграде. Некоторые книги серии неоднократно переиздавались с дополнениями.

В создании книг принимали участие известные архитекторы-реставраторы, историки архитектуры, искусствоведы, археологи.

Выявлено 35 книг этой серии (также готовилась для неё, но издана в упрощённом оформлении: Борисов Н. С., Марасинова Л. М. «Рыбинск. Мышкин. Пошехонье» (М., 2001)).

По достопримечательностям в основном зарубежных стран издавалась другая книжная серия такого же карманного формата — «Города и музеи мира».

St. Louis Students' Classes Go Online, Highlighting City's Problems
By Ryan Krull on Fri, Apr 10, 2020 at 6:15 am
COURTESY JESSICA MASK
Jessica Mask with her youngest three boys.
Tower Grove South mother of four Jessica Mask is quick to point out that this pandemic has been a lot harder on other people than it has been on her. But having said that, it isn't exactly a vacation at home with her three youngest kids: a kindergartener, first grader and fifth grader. (Her oldest is in college.)
All three attend St. Raphael the Archangel School in St. Louis Hills, and Mask says the school has done a good job communicating to parents, scheduling video calls and setting up Google classrooms. But even under these circumstances, it's still a daily struggle sorting through the mountain of emails the kids collectively receive, then making sure that the right kid is logged into the right portal at the right time.
"My fifth grader will get up in the morning and say, 'Oh, my God, I've got two video calls before ten.' It's like a glimpse of him at 35," she says.
St. Raphael distributed Chromebooks preloaded with educational content to Mask's two grade schoolers. Her kindergartner uses Mask's MacBook.
Elsewhere in the city, though, students don't have the devices necessary to stay connected.
A grade school teacher in a north city St. Louis public school who asked me to withhold her name says this week was supposed to be her school's first of e-learning, but only two students in her class have access to a device other than a phone. This is particularly infuriating, she says, given that before COVID-19 her classroom was "one to one," meaning that every kid had an iPad.
"They've given us time to plan, set up platforms, record lessons and contact parents," she says. "The problem is I didn't already have all my students' parents connected on the app we've been using all year and now the parents that were checking the app regularly are not."
She adds, "Teaching at a school in north city where all (100 percent) of the kids qualify for free lunch, I have to assume many parents are still out working essential jobs at stores or restaurants OR lost their jobs. Either way, it's stressful, and I understand why they aren't spending time checking an app."
St. Louis Public Schools parent Del-Rio Swink-Lee says she isn't surprised by the system's rocky transition to e-learning. After her daughter was involved in a well-publicized bullying incident at Gateway STEM Academy in 2018, Swink-Lee enrolled her daughter in SLPS's virtual program. Despite being promised an iPad from the school, she says one never materialized. She says that the virtual program is supposed to include weekly check-ins from a teacher, but she and her daughter haven't heard from an instructor since January.
"They don't return my emails. They don't return my calls," Swink-Lee says. "I'm very concerned, because of what I was getting as a mom in the virtual program. Now every student is in the virtual program, and there is nothing prepared for these kids."
COURTESY DEL-RIO SWINK-LEE
Del-Rio Swink-Lee's daughter was enrolled in online classes before the pandemic forced everyone out of the classroom.
Swink-Lee says she is a regular attendee of school board meetings and is the administer of a Facebook group for SLPS parents. "Just yesterday parents were calling me in tears, saying their kids didn't have devices," she says. "Two other parents called saying that their kids' teachers didn't know how to use the program that had been given to them to use for this new e-learning process."
At a school board meeting held via Zoom at the end of March, two weeks after SLPS closed due to COVID-19, district Superintendent Kelvin Adams says, "This is brand new for teachers, many of whom frankly had no idea how to do Zoom. So we're trying to work through that this week and get them up and running."
Natalie Self is with STEMSTL, an organization that promotes high quality equitable STEM education in the St. Louis region.
"Every school district has been left up to their own devices to figure out this device issue," Self says. "For instance, Kirkwood was already one to one so it's been relatively smooth … Districts like St. Louis Public Schools are getting devices in batches, and as individual schools are able to get them, they're filling in the gaps. As you might expect, the districts who had less resources before are the ones struggling to catch up. All these inequities we had before are only being exacerbated."
Self adds that simply getting a device in the students' hands is not a panacea. Devices break. They need to be charged. They rely on Wi-Fi. Households with multiple students doing remote learning at the same time requires a lot of expensive bandwidth.
Charter is offering 60 days free broadband for households with students or educators, but the deal only applies to new customers and not to those who have outstanding bills with the company.
As an RFT piece from last year showed, in wide swaths of St. Louis, particularly in north city, less than half of all households have access to broadband internet.
At that school board meeting in March, Adams called these disparities in infrastructure and technology access the "most frustrating question we have dealt with over the last six or seven days."
He said the district is looking into purchasing 10,000 Wi-Fi hotspots within the next two weeks, but he adds that he doesn't want to give them out to families unless there is enough for everyone.
"This pandemic has exposed a lot of cracks that are a part of St. Louis … The bottom line is that it makes it much harder to support those families who were already struggling. They might not have the transportation to come and pick up a computer. We can't go necessarily knock on their door and deliver it to them because of social distancing," he said. "I will be totally candid and honest with you, I don't know how equitable we are being because I don't know how equitable this city is set up."
The problem isn't going away soon. On Thursday, Adams announced St. Louis classrooms would remain closed through the spring. Governor Mike Parson made a similar announcement the same day, ordering schools across the state to continue the current shutdown through the end of the academic year.
As I was wrapping up this story, I thought I'd check back in with the teacher in north city and ask her how the first two days of virtual class had gone. This was her reply in its entirety:
"Yeah...so I have posted lessons and assignments and no students have been able to access them. Almost all the parents I have contacted need iPads which they signed up for but they weren't given information on when they will receive them and my boss hasn't let me know either. Frustrating having to tell parents I have no idea. Today I realized it's been 4 weeks of no school (including our spring break mid March) and I can't believe they still haven't distributed iPads. My principal had all these expectations for teachers but didn't tell us they still wouldn't have iPads. So when I message parents/students giving them all this Info on how to learn/do assignments it's not like they can get started.
"Another expectation is that we're holding class meetings over Zoom. I posted about it but zero students/families participated today. I'm supposed to have two more this week but kinda doubting anyone will participate at this point.
"And it's not their fault they don't have the technology, all of this is too unrealistic to do on an iPhone or smartphone."

She's in the south-eastern most hut by the ice bears.
Actually "bjornritta" should (if i know my swedish good enough, I'm danish) mean "bear rider".
Actually, it's derivation is from the dialect of a small village in northern Finland, where they do, in fact, breed polar bears as domestic pack animals.
"Bjarndýrs reiðmaður" is awfully pedantic... could as well be translated as "bjarnriddari".
Anyways Blizzard's names are all garbled Norse of some kind, most of it looks like slightly messed up words to anyone familiar with the real world languages.
So, sister, you think that completing a few simple chores makes you a heroine?
If you choose to do these I hope you get more enjoyment from them than I did...I'd rather have my teeth drilled without novicaine (sp?), personally.
They Took Our Men! - Kill mobs around 40,70 for Cold Iron Keys, use keys to open cages and free Goblins.
The Warm-Up - Use Reins of the Icemaw Matriarch(Given), mount it, and kill Kirgaraak (50,67).
The Refiner's Fire - Kill 10 Seething Revenants in the area for Furious Sparks.
Being transformed and on top of a mount looks wierd your so much bigger than it its amazing it can hold you.
Very helpful little guide, thanks.
Brijana wants you to go to Brunnhildar Village and speak with Astrid Bjornrittar.
You have succeeded where many have failed, sister. Whether it be by strength and courage or mere luck remains to be seen.
Go back to the village and seek out Astrid Bjornrittar. Tell her of your accomplishments. But be warned. She is not easily impressed.


Exceptional property dating back to the 19th century, located in the heart of the Sintra Mountain, a historical village internationally known for its bucolic landscapes and classified as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The property consists of five floors, 495 square meters area and with 983 square meters exterior area. Close to the cosmopolitan coastal areas of Estoril and Cascais where there are several golf courses, marinas and beaches and about 15 minutes from Lisbon. It is undoubtedly the perfect choice for someone who appreciates serenity and beauty, the interior is in the phase of total remodeling, which is why it is an excellent investment opportunity.

« Cork Past Pupils meet at Blackrock
Sr Karen attends Vocation Directors conference »
Remembering Sr Kathleen Twomey RIP
On the 13th April we said a fond farewell to Sr Kathleen Twomey of our Blackrock community as she was called home to her eternal reward.
Born Catherine Josephine Twomey on 6th May 1927 in Dundalk, Co Louth her family moved to Cork during her childhood and she completed her secondary education at Saint Angela's College, Patrick's Hill, Cork. It was here she met the Ursuline Sisters and after school she entered the novitiate in Blackrock, Cork in October 1946, receiving the habit a few months later in April 1947. She was given the name Sr Mary Immaculata, making first vows in 1949 and perpetual profession in 1952.
Her initial years were spent teaching kindergarten in Cork, always having a special charism for working with very young children. In 1960 her life was to change immeasurably when she was called to be one of the founding group of Ursulines to leave Blackrock to make a new foundation in Columbus, Georgia in the Diocese of Savannah, USA.
It was in Our Lady of Lourdes School and Parish that Sr Kathleen was to spend most of her religious life – a total of 35 years. In Georgia Sr Kathleen taught the small children in the kindergarten classes and was especially known for her teaching of the catechism classes for children preparing for First Holy Communion and Confirmation. Today there are many hundreds of people who owe their Catholic faith to the teaching and example of Sr Kathleen.
Sr Kathleen though was more than just a teacher, she was naturally a very motherly, caring person to all whom she met. The many emails and letters received are testament to this care that so many people cherished during their formative years.
In 1997 a decision was made to close the convent in Columbus and after a year's sabbatical in the USA Sr Kathleen returned to Blackrock enjoying her retirement there – taking up art classes and continuing her love of music and singing in the parish and in the convent. Her artwork is now seen adorning the walls of the convent in Blackrock, as well as her many photographs taken over the years recording jubilees and celebrations in the convent and her many travels on holidays and pilgrimages across Europe. Sr Kathleen's heart though remained with the people of Columbus and she very much enjoyed her return visit there for the jubilee celebrations.
Throughout her life, her family connections with her sister, her brother and his children remained central to her life, spending much time with them on her many visits home from Columbus and then in her retirement visiting them and enjoying welcoming them to Blackrock and watching the next generation grow up.
Ill-health led Sr Kathleen to spend the last few years of her life being cared for in Saint Luke's Nursing Home not far from the convent in Blackrock where the community visited her daily and her nieces and nephews, though scattered in Ireland beyond would call to share the memories and stories of their families with her.
As we gathered for her funeral Mass on 15th April we gave thanks for a life well lived, for her gentleness, for the love and care she showed to so many children in both Cork and Columbus and for her gifts of art and music. May she rest in peace with the Lord whom she served so faithfully.

Hello World! Next installment is ready!
Jacob leaned in the kiss me, and I could feel myself leaning into as well, but before our lips could touch there was a knock on the door. At first I decided to ignore it, until I heard Landon call my name through the door. I immediately jumped up away from Jacob, and Landon knocked again.
"Peyton it's me," Landon said through the door.
"Uhh… one second," I called out and then I turned to Jacob and whispered, "It's Landon."
"I know," Jacob said with a smile, and then I realized Jacob was still undressed.
"Go put some clothes on," I whispered.
"Why?" he asked.
"Just go," I said.
"Fine," he said walking to his room. I took a deep breath before going over to answer the door.
"Hey Landon," I said when I opened the door.
"Good morning beautiful," Landon greeted me, "Are you ready to go?"
"To class?" he said.
"Oh um… I uh… see I…" I stammered.
"Oh hey Landon," Jacob said coming out of his room with sweats and a t-shirt on, "Peyton was just about to call you, she's not going to class today. I have this family thing, and she agreed to accompany me." Jacob lied smoothly, saving me from my stammering mess.
"Oh is that true Peyton?" Landon asked, and I nodded my head.
"It's a ceremony for his parents," I said.
"Oh okay. I'll call you later then," he said, then leaned down and kissed me before we said our goodbyes. I closed the door and turned around to find Jacob staring at me, but before I could say anything, he quickly walked over to me, and crashed his lips down kissing me roughly.
"I don't like him kissing you," he said when we parted lips.
"I'm sure he wouldn't like you kissing me either," I said with a smile, "And at least he can say he's my boyfriend."
"Oh and what does that make me? Just some guy you slept with last night?" he said with a smile,
"Yeah what was your name again?" He laughed.
"Yeah funny." I laughed.
"Hey, I thought you said you weren't going to your Aunt's today."
"I wasn't. I'm still not, but you needed an out. I could tell you didn't want to talk to Landon just yet."
"Well thank you, but you should go."
"Only if you come with me."
"Okay fine."
I went to get dressed in something more appropriate for the ceremony. I settled on a plain black dress, and my black pumps. While I waited on Jacob, I decided to call Joshua to tell him that we would be attending the ceremony, and he was very happy that Jacob was coming. Once Jacob was ready we got in his car, and headed to his aunt's house. The ceremony was very touching. A lot of people got up and shared stories about Jacob's parents and spoke of what they meant to them. Mr. and Mrs. Blake were much loved people. Neither Jacob nor Joshua got up to speak, but I tell they were both affected by the ceremony nonetheless. When the ceremony was over, there was a reception in the backyard. Jacob immediately found the open bar, and headed over to it. I hope the bartender would realize he was too young, and not give him anything, but I seriously doubted it. I went over to sit at one of the tables and wait on him. Jacob returned with his drink, and I gave him a look, and he promised he wouldn't drink that much. We talked about the ceremony for a while until a man came over to us. On closer inspection I realized he was a priest based on his collar.
"Hello Jacob," he said when he approached us, "You probably don't remember me. I'm Father Calhoun. I work at St. Michael's, we spoke a few times."
"Yeah I know. I remember. How are you?" Jacob said.
"I'm good, how are you son?" Father Calhoun asked.
"I'm fine," Jacob said.
"That's good to hear. You know I was thinking about our last conversation, before you left St. Michael's, and I want you to know that I'm still here for you, if you ever need to talk or anything," Father Calhoun said.
"Uhh… thank you," Jacob said uncomfortably.
"I'm serious Jacob. Don't let it control you," Father Calhoun said whispering the last part. Jacob didn't respond.
"Okay well – oh who is this lovely lady with you?" Father Calhoun asked.
"Oh this is my um… this is Peyton," Jacob said.
"Hi nice to meet you," I said.
"Nice to meet you too," Father Calhoun said, "well I better get going but it was nice to see you."
"Yeah you too," Jacob said.
"And remember if you ever need anything," Father Calhoun said.
"Yeah I'll remember," Jacob said. Father Calhoun then turned around and walked away. When he was out of sight, I decided to ask Jacob what that was all about.
"What was that about?" I asked.
"Nothing… I think I'm gonna get another drink," Jacob said starting to get up.
"No, Jacob stay. Talk to me," I said pulling him back into his seat, "You can trust me." He didn't say anything. I thought about my conversation with Paul, and thought maybe if he knew I knew part of the story, he would be more comfortable with telling me the rest.
"Jacob, yesterday I talked to Paul, when you left. He told me about you guys – about your friendship, and how it ended," I said.
"What? How I beat the crap the out of him?" he said.
"Yeah, but he told me why. He told me how these guys were taunting you – some guy named Craig or something. Look I understand. Jacob, I'm not judging you. You can trust me."
"What do you want me to say? Yeah what Paul said was true. I let them get to me, and I took it out on Paul."
"Yeah I get that, but I don't understand why you would hang with them after what they did to you."
"Because I had to."
"It's not that easy."
"It is that easy."
"No Peyton, it's not. If I said something to you, I don't know what would happen…"
"I do trust you, but I –"
"Jacob, I love you. Okay? You can tell me." Jacob hesitated before he spoke.
"Okay I –" Jacob was interrupted by guy walking up to us. I had never seen him before.
"Hey Jacob," the guy said with a smirk.
"Craig?" Jacob said surprised.
"You look surprise to see me," Craig said.
"What are you doing here?" Jacob asked.
"I came here to check on my boy. Make sure he's alright. Make sure he's being a man of his word, you know what I mean?" Craig said.
"Yeah I know," Jacob said.
"Good, so who is this pretty lady?" Craig asked looking at me.
"This is Peyton," Jacob said.
"This is Peyton? Oh wow! Hi Peyton, I'm Craig. I've heard so much about you," Craig said with a smile.
"Hi, nice to meet you," I said politely.
"Yes, it is very nice, and Jacob I would hate to see something happen to your lovely friend here, so I suggest you keep our arrangement," Craig said smiling at Jacob. Jacob face flushed white, but he didn't respond.
"Okay well bye now," Craig said with a wink before walking away.
"What arrangement?" I asked as soon as Craig was out of earshot.
"I'm definitely going to get that drink now," Jacob said getting up.
"No Jacob," I said trying to pull him back down.
"No Peyton, please don't try to stop me," he said as he pulled away and headed to the bar.

Q: Shutdown Timer with Password Protection I need an shutdown timer application that can run on Windows XP. I would like for it to require a password to cancel the timer.

A: Use the built-in shutdown timer in windows, shutdown.exe. It lets you specify how long to display a warning for, and what the warning text should be. Cancelling the shutdown requires administrative privileges or granting the user permission via group policy to manage timed shutdowns.
To initiate a shutdown, use the following command from the command prompt. You can also create a desktop shortcut to it:
shutdown -t nn -s -c "Notice to show to user"

nn is the number of seconds to show the warning before shutting down. -s tells it to do a shutdown; you can use -r instead to do a reboot.
To cancel the command, open a command prompt from an administrator account, and type
shutdown -a

This will stop any timed shutdown in progress. To create a shortcut that will let any user do this if they have the administrator account's password, use:
runas -user:administrator shutdown -a

This will open a command prompt asking for the administrator account's password, and will then stop the shutdown.
If you need more control than these options offer, you may need to look for a third party program. These options however will work for any Windows computer and are built-in. You can also run the timed shutdown from a scheduled task if you want the shutdown to occur at a certain time every day.

A: As this question did not have a good answer (unless you are going to do some coding) I am inclined to say neither does yours.
In addition, what is to stop someone from just killing the process? Nothing a process can really do to prevent it.

Maikel hunger strike
News in Brief | 1 September, 2011
On 23 August, Maikel Nabil Sanad, the pacifist blogger sentenced to three years' imprisonment by the new Egyptian government for "insulting the military" (see PN 2533), began a hunger strike in protest against his sentence. As we went to press, the hunger strike was continuing. On 18 August, similar charges were dropped against Asmaa Mahfouz and Louie Nagati.

Bil'in celebrates!
For seven years the villagers of Bil'in in the Palestinian West Bank have resisted the separation wall that has cut them off from a large part of their lands, in particular holding a weekly march to the wall after Friday prayers .
On 1 July, the villagers marched in celebration. Two days earlier they had regained access to more of their land through the completion of the wall rerouting ordered in 2007 by the Israeli high court which had pronounced that it was "not convinced that it is necessary for security-military reasons to retain the current route that passes on Bil'in's lands."

Tripod trial
In July, Camilla Berens was fined £200 and Michelle Jackson £95 after pleading guilty to obstructing the highway. In April they blockaded all four lanes of the A302 outside the HQ of EDF energy company and alongside the grounds of Buckingham palace for six hours, using tripods, in protest at EDF's plans to build a new generation of nuclear power stations in the UK. The demo was organised by the "EDF Boycott Campaign".

Bears bait boss base
On 17 July, Greenpeace activists, many dressed as polar bears, staged a sit-in at the Edinburgh HQ of Cairn Energy, and demanded a copy of the company's plan to deal with potential oil spills in the Arctic where they are drilling for oil and gas. Cairn Energy got an injunction the following day preventing Greenpeace publishing pictures of the protest. The injunction backfired against Cairn when hundreds of people broke the court order on behalf of the environment group by posting the photos.

Since 2010, al-Araqib, a Bedouin village, has been destroyed 12 times by the Israeli army, and rebuilt 12 times by the villagers. Grounds for eviction were that the 300 villagers could not produce title deeds to land they have lived on for generations. In a further turn of the screw, Israel sued 34 al-Araqib villagers on 26 July for over £300,000 to pay for their evictions. Bedouin are being herded off their traditional lands into state "recognised" villages; still half remain in "unrecognised" villages, subject to eviction at any time.

Nepal crisis
The long-running and crisis-prone Nepali peace process was lurching into a new danger phase as PN went to press, with plans for the election of a new prime minister – in parliament, not through a general election, on 28 August. Jhalanath Khanal resigned on 15 August, after only six months in office, three weeks before the constituent assembly (which doubles as a parliament) was due to wind up.
According to the November 2006 comprehensive peace agreement (CPA), the constituent assembly was meant to have written a new constitution for the country by May 2010, and the government was meant to have integrated former Maoist guerrillas into the security forces, permanently ending the 10-year civil war.
The fate of 19,000 former guerrillas, still living in government camps, is still uncertain. At the time of going to press, it was reported that the Maoist leadership were demanding that 7,000-8,000 of the former combatants be integrated into the army, with combat missions or on border patrol. One of the other two main parties, Congress, was insisting on far fewer soldiers (4,000-6,000) with non-combat roles.
40 former Maoist child soldiers were arrested on 8 August after a protest demanding better government training to help them reintegrate into civilian life. A five-day "relay sit-in" started in front of the constituent assembly on 25 August, aiming to put pressure on political parties for lasting peace and a new democratic constitution.

During August, young unemployed people from Western Sahara continued their protests against the Moroccan government, which has illegally occupied the territory since 1975. On 23 August, jobless Sahrawi graduates and other unemployed young people gathered in front of the governor's office in Bojador, demanding a share of the earnings from the natural resources of Western Sahara, and protesting against the brutality of the Moroccan security forces, who broke up a demonstration at the end of July.
At the same time, unemployed Sahrawi youth in Smara protested outside ANAPEC, Morocco's "national agency for promoting employment and skills", after the regional governor refused once again to meet a their dialogue and coordination committee.
Meanwhile, London-listed San Leon Energy announced at the beginning of August that the remote location of Morocco's oil-shale deposits, and its lax tax regime make it the "ideal" place to develop this "unconventional" oil. The deposits at Tarfaya lie on the border with Western Sahara, and stretch south into the illegally-occupied territory.

NEAT action
On 26 July, 170 peace activists from 17 countries entered the "North European Aerospace Test Range" (NEAT) in north Sweden in an act of nonviolent civil disobedience. Some 28 activists were arrested or detained, among them activists from Venezuela, the UK, Spain, Germany and Finland. The action started at midday with a pink carnival which involved people marking the test range and the road leading to it with pink arrows and the slogan "War starts here, let's stop it here!". The airspace was marked by a release of pink balloons after a die-in outside the area.
The aim of the action was to expose the role of the massive test range in preparing for wars. Military drones used against Gaza and missile systems used against Iraq, Aghanistan and Libya have all been tested at NEAT. The action, and accompanying peace camp, were organised by the Swedish anti-militarist network Ofog. More info, photos and video:

$114m nonviolence
The "Martin Luther King Jr National Memorial", a statue and park in Washington DC budgeted at $120m (of which $114m has been raised) was scheduled to be officially opened on 28 August. The ceremony, which US president Barack Obama was to have attended, has been deferred for weeks, possibly months, because of the approach of Hurricane Irene. The 30-foot-high pale granite statue of King, carved by Chinese sculptor Lei Yixin in China, accompanies a 450-foot-long granite wall engraved with quotations from the civil rights leader. 159 huge blocks of granite were shipped from China to the United States. King's family demanded a licensing fee for the right to use his image and words at the national memorial, and were reportedly paid $761,160 in 2007. An earlier "management" fee of $71,700 was paid to the family estate in 2003.

The 20 climate activists convicted of conspiring to shut down Ratcliffe coal power station had their convictions overturned by the Court of Appeal in July, following the revelation earlier this year that the CPS had not disclosed evidence gathered by undercover cop Mark Kennedy which could have been useful to their defence. The ruling described Kennedy as "arguably an agent provocateur."

17-18 September, campaigners will pitch near Blackpool for Camp Frack, a climate camp-style effort to burst the bubble of hydraulic gas fracking in the UK.

Hunt's off

The judge stated that DeChristopher's sentence had been increased because he had spent the trial process encouraging mass civil disobedience. Many of the drilling licences were subsequently ruled illegal by the Obama Administration.

"The sixth edition of Noche Blanca in Mérida had a record attendance, and went on without absolutely no disturbances or issues of any kind", said the director of Municipal Police, Mario Arturo Romero Escalante, who personally supervised the surveillance and security of the event.
"An attendance of just over 60,000 was recorded, according to the Municpal Police reports and most of the people concentrated in the streets around the main square as well as in the neighborhoods of Mejorada, Santiago and Santa Ana, where the artistic, gastronomic and cultural events took place", Romero Escalante said.
Despite the huge crowds roaming around town, paramedics only reported two people injured, a national tourist about 65 years who twisted an ankle while stepping down the sidewalk in the Main Plaza, and a young girl with a cut on her right eyebrow as a result from a fall while descending from her vehicle near Santa Ana.
The Municipal Police director said that the motorists, cyclists and pedestrians who attended the Noche Blanca showed an exemplary behavior abiding signs and traffic control measures implemented by the local authorities, specially in the surroundings of calle 60, which remained closed to traffic from calle 49 to 65.

At times, the number of vehicles circulating on calle 60 was slowed down by the flow of cars trying to cross it, but that did not cause any problems or discomfort, since drivers understood the situation and kept calm at all times.
The public transportation service kept working until 2 in the morning as agreed with the service providers.
There were absolutely no reports of situations of violence or disturbances caused by people under the influence of alcohol or any other substance during this cultural event.

Winter weddings are becoming increasingly popular as more couples realise the benefits of getting married 'out of season'. Here at Together Forever Bridal Boutique we love helping our brides find the perfect dress, whatever the season! We know that winter weddings don't have to feel like a compromise, there's plenty you can do to style your wedding to ensure it's an occasion you and your guests will never forget!
Here are five ideas to make your winter wedding is as stylish as can be! We've plenty of ideas on our Winter Wedding Pinterest board too!
Avoid the predictable (but gorgeous!) reds and greens and consider a silver and white theme with crystal accents. This can add some serious glamour to your winter wedding! Textures are always important in the winter, so consider using velvets and satin embellished with crystals to create a virtual winter wonderland. If you like to keep things simple, then sculptural lines in ivory always look great for winter weddings too!
Use crystal curtain backdrops adorned with hanging strands of white or cream flowers to add an extra special touch! Hanging flowers are going to be a huge trend for 2018-19 weddings, but more on that in a future post!
Glowing church candles and votive candles will add both warmth and romance to your reception. If, however, you want to add a little more drama then think 'Frozen' with ice sculptures and vases with tall winter-white branches and hanging crystals to reflect the light from the tables.
Depending on your venue(s) winter wedding guests usually appreciate warm, comforting drinks. You really can't go wrong serving winter cocktails, hot chocolate and warm toddies! You could even set up a hot chocolate bar! As long as your menu ingredients are in season and locally sourced there is nothing you can't serve to your guests from hearty soups to traditional winter roasts.
Accentuate your chosen season with a white, vintage-style cake, dusted with edible silver powder. For accents, have your baker add a white satin ribbon and crystal drops or snowflakes cascading down one side of the cake. Alternatively, you can go more rustic with a pine cone adorned cake, of even have an iced cake with a knitted white cable pattern!
Give out small packages of chocolate-covered cranberries or roasted chestnuts. Or how about mini hot chocolate mixes, soy candles or gingerbread cookies? If Christmas is just around the corner, consider a crystal heart decoration for the tree.
If you are planning you own winter wedding, come in and see us – we've lots of ideas to help you plan the perfect day!
