MARCH 2019 READING LIST
The past month was another good month of reading with some solid recommendations finding their way into my March Reading List. I'd venture that My Year of Rest and Relaxation is one of the best books I've read in the past twelve months. I finally got round to reading Eleanor Oliphant is Completely Fine and it totally lived up to the hype. The Hunting Party is a classic "whodunnit" thriller that will keep you gripped to the end. Adele is a book that I didn't enjoy reading all that much but at the same time found fascinating and would one hundred per cent recommend. I hummed and hawed on including China Rich Girlfriend, the second installment of Kevin Kwan's trilogy but include it I did. And lastly, I listened to Michael Palin's Around the World in Eight Days on Audible and loved it.
So here goes, my March Reading List which I can safely say is quite the mixed bag. If you have read any of these books already, please let me know what you thought. And as usual, if you have any recommendations, please send them my way.
My Year of Rest and Relaxation by Ottessa Moshfegh
Go get this book and read it immediately. It's dark, it's funny, it's refreshing and I'm not sure I've ever come across a female character portrayed in this way.
Set in Manhattan in 2000/2001, the main character is a recently orphaned 20-something living on her inheritance. She believes that by sleeping for long enough, aided by a cocktail of pharmaceuticals she will emerge transformed. A new woman. She's aided in this my her questionable doctor who is trigger happy when it comes to prescriptions. This may all sound odd and bizarre and that's because it is. But it's also highly entertaining to read and offers accutely accurate observations on contemporary society. Even though it's set almost twenty years ago. it feels current. I screenshot so many passages from this book to come back to re-read and think about again. Forget about inspirational Instagram quotes. Quotes from this book is where it's at.
Note I read this book in January but forgot to include it in February's Reading List, so here it is popping up as my first recommendation in my March Reading List.
Yes, I do feel like I'm the last person to read this book so I'm not quite sure if this is a recommendation or rather me joining in the Eleanor Oliphant hype. Ths novel tells the story of loneliness, childhood tragedy and social isolation in a way that isn't oppresive or overbearing, but with a humour and tenderness that makes this book very easy to read.
Eleanor Oliphant lives alone in Glasgow, her only social interactions being with her work colleages and a weekly telephone call with her mother. The book tracks Eleanor's slow journey from isolation and loneliness to successful social integration. She has been through a lot and struggles with a dramatic event from her childhood. But a chance friendship with a work colleague ends up transforming her and her view of others. Even though this book is about loneliness by the time I finished reading it, there was a real feel good factor. It's funny, sad and heartwarming all at the same time. Almost all the characters are kind people and try to do the right thing. As Eleanor realises this, the reader is also reminded that for the most part, people are fundamentally good and kind to others.
There's been so much hype about this book, and now that I've read it I get it.
The Hunting Party by Lucy Foley
I love a good suspense novel, especially one that's well told and has all the elements of a classic thriller. Sometimes it's good to stick to a winning formua and The Hunting Party does just that, ensuring a grippng read that has all the elements of an intriguing "whodunnit" mystery.
What starts as a trip away for New Year's Eve for a group of old university friends ends in tragedy when one is discovered dead. The narrative moves back and forth between the group's arrival at a remote Scottish hunting lodge on December 30 and the discovery of a body three days later. The characters are sufficiently annoying to ensure that you don't really care all that much who is murdered and who did the murdering. While at times the story feels a little formulaic, The Huntng Party is a classic thriller complete with suspense and intrigue and relationships that's aren't always as they seems.
If you are after a curl-up-on-the-sofa thriller that's a quick and gripping read, well I think The Hunting Party might be a good option for you.
Adèle by Leïla Slimani
Adèle is French author Leïla Slimani's second novel. Adèle is a thirty year old journalist living in Paris with her surgeon husband and yound son. While appearing to have the perfect life, she suffers from an addiction to sex and is consumed with having sex with many men, preferable those that she doesn't share any intimacy with. She lies to her husband, her co-workers and friends to facilitate her addiction.
It's an unusual story to read in this age as it's a story of a woman who is a liar and by all accounts a bad person judging by the standards of today's society. On the surface her life appears perfect but she is bored with her marriage, motherhood and work. We are forced to ask ourselves whether his makes her a bad person? It's also unusual in that the sex she craves is quite passive from her perspective. While we might expect a character like Adele to be empowered and to want to control her sexual relatihonships. instead she wants to be objectiffied and passive in the relaionships she pursues.
This is a short novel and I think this is a god thing. I didn't like Adele and I didn't particularly like her husband either. I didn't like how her sexual relationships are depicted. However, I found the representation of her dissatisfaction with her seemingly perfect life fascinating especially how she sought out casual objectified sex as oppossed to any sense of epowerment as a means to deal with this dissatisfaction.
China Rich Girlfriend by Kevin Kwan
I hummed and hawed about including China Rich Girlfriend in this month's Reading list. It's the second installement in Kevin Kwan's fictional trilogy telling the story of some of Asia's most outrageiously wealthy families. I read the first installment, Crazy Rich Asians last year and loved it. It was gossipy, glamourous, silly but above all very entertaining. The film version had me at the cinema in the middlee of a rainy Thursday afternoon thorourgly entertained.
China Rich Girlfriend us set two years after the events in Crazy Rich Asians and doubles down on the eye watering wealth, and shameless social climbing. The story doesn't just border on the ridiculous, it goes way beyond bordering on the ridculous and moves into full on crazy. If you enjoyed Crazy Risch Asians, it's worth a read if you have some spare reading time on your hands. The book could probably have done with being about a hundred pages shorter and I found myself skimming though some of the scenes that included unnessesary detail that didn't benefit the story and just made it seemed a little dragged out at times.
PS: A big thank you to the kind person who sent me this book along with the third installement
And just a quick note about Around the World in Eighty Days by Michael Palin which I listened to on Audible. In this book, Michael Palin attempts to follow in the footsteps of Phileas Fogg, by trying to travel around the world in 80 days without resort to air travel. I enjoyed every minute of it probably becuase I have a major fond spot for Michael Palin and his unique talent to tell a story. It's also a TV series that I have high up on my 'to-watch' list.

White Waltham is a village and civil parish,  west of Maidenhead, in the Royal Borough of Windsor and Maidenhead in Berkshire, England.  It is crossed briefly by the M4 motorway, which along with the Great Western Main Line and all other roads covers  of the parish and 'greenspace' which includes cultivated fields covers the most part - this covered (in January 2005) . White Waltham Airfield is in the parish.

Extent
In the south, the parish includes the hamlets of Paley Street and Littlefield Green. White Waltham village is clustered and sits in the mid-west of the parish. To the northeast is Woodlands Park, on the edge of Maidenhead, and the Maidenhead Business Park. In the northeast corner of the parish is Woolley Green and in the northwest, most of Littlewick Green.

History
The area was made up of a few manor houses, many of which evolved into country houses, for example Waltham Place, with its organic farm and gardens which are open to the public. The Church of England parish church of St Mary dates from Normans times, but has many fourteenth century and Victorian features.  Frequent disputes as to the boundary between White Waltham and Bray occurred at intervals since 1286 and Thomas Hearne, historian, gives an account of the beating of the boundaries in his own life-time, mentioning all the place-names and commenting on 'the insolence of the parishioners of Bray in transgressing their bounds.'

Sir Constantine Henry Phipps, Lord Chancellor of Ireland, was buried at St. Mary in 1723. Thomas Hearne was born at Littlefield Green in 1678. Acquiring the patronage of the local lord of the manor, Francis Cherry, he rose to become assistant-keeper of the Bodleian Library in Oxford and the author of many important works.  White Waltham School was established in 1828 and has been developed and expanded since, providing primary education for pupils between the ages of 5 and 11 and has legal academy status. The area had approximately half of the population in the late Victorian period but was overall significantly poorer in terms of real property.

Today White Waltham has more than five times as many homes with 1,214. The area's agriculture was noted as of high fertility justifying its protection after World War II. After World War II the south of White Waltham was proposed as land for Berkshire's new town to rehouse Londoners made homeless by The Blitz. However, central and local government agreed in 1949 to use the alternative of Bracknell, as the White Waltham site would have encroached on good quality agricultural land, and was not on a railway.

White Waltham Cricket Club
The village cricket club (White Waltham Cricket Club) was founded in 1879. Not without its ups and downs it has survived until today with just short breaks for two World Wars. The ground is generally accepted as one of the more attractive and in more recent years one of the best wickets in the County. The original pavilion was situated at the closest point to the pub, The Beehive, with an extra wide wicket gate, only removed in recent years, for players struggling to find their way back after the post match revelries. It was a small, green painted, timber building originally about twelve feet by eight feet consisting of a single dressing room and a tool shed, extended to provide a further dressing room in the 1920s.

In 1939 the ground was requisitioned by the RAF. for training purposes but always treated considerately by them. Later they used it for recreation and a few village cricketers still available were invited to join their team. A sad reminder of both Wars and the toll on village life, and relatives of Club members exists today with the War Memorial at the top of the ground. White Waltham airfield was a supply field during the Second War distributing replacement aircraft of all types, bombers and fighters, to where they were needed. Metal mesh reinforcing has only in recent years been removed from some of the airfield and runway lights were also found during recent excavations.

In the mid 1960s the ground underwent a major levelling operation with a wedge of ground being excavated from the top side of the ground and deposited on the bottom lower side. The original ground level still exists today, being the top of the bank by the road. This along with the land drains laid at the time of levelling may be why the bottom side of the ground drains better than the top.

For this period the club played on the RAF. sports ground, now the meadow behind todays pavilion, and even today remnants of the ground still exist - the concrete base of the R.A.F. pavilion can be seen just over the ditch in the bottom corner behind the seat, a gate post from the old footbridge (still there in the early 1980s) still leans precariously near this point, and the concrete slab bases for the nets are under the grass behind the oak tree by the car park, used in the 1980s during the Village Fete for 'bowl the cricket club batsman' stall they used the clubs then movable mat for the net and facing bowling other than very slow on the slabs which were then very uneven was quite and adventure, remember just gloves pads and box, no helmets or arm guards or thigh pads. Somewhere in the meadow the base of the square is still thought to exist.

In 1968 after the levelling was completed and the erection of the new pavilion, the timber faced pavilion forming the front half of today's pavilion, it became one of the best grounds in the area. The opening of the new pavilion was celebrated with an invitation match the Club versus the then President, R.H.Oppenheimers Xl which included several famous cricketers including Alec Bedser and Denis Compton who reportedly scored a typically classy half century when the Presidents Xl lost 3 early wickets cheaply.

The Club continued to develop through the seventies and eighties. In 1974 the Lord's Taverners visited and photos from that day are still on display in the club, most notably that of the former England wicket keeper Godfrey Evans walking down the pavilion steps on his way out to bat. In the early 1980 the Club doubled the size of the pavilion, extending the showers, extending the club room. The new kitchen, had an internal window installed so the ladies doing teas could watch the cricket. indeed the original 1968 Pavilion was designed, at their insistence, so the ladies could watch the cricket from the then Kitchen location and that window still exists at the end of the wooden part of todays pavilion.

Three benefit games were played against Middlesex CCC, the first of these in 1988 When Mike Gatting, then captain of both the County and England, celebrated his benefit year. The Middlesex team entered fully into the spirit of the day in spite of poor ground & weather conditions, typified by Gatting himself when, advised that the landlord of the Beehive had bet £50 to charity he would not go to the pub, over he went. The popular England captain also spent time with children from the village primary school brought especially across to see him. The following year saw Roland Butchers benefit when the Club beat their county opponents. And in 1990 the Club hosted a match supporting the Paul Downton benefit year. Although unable to run a match the Club did support the Middlesex beneficiary the following year, Simon Hughes, with a dinner which doubled as the end of season dinner (held in the pavilion in those days), giving an excellent speech and presenting the Young Player of the Year trophy.

The Club has not fared as well in cup cricket only reaching one more final of the Julian Cup, having won in 1924 its inaugural year, losing to Cookham Dean in the 1984 final. The Club have however hosted several Julian Cup semi finals, and one final in 1988 between Marlow and Tudor Taverners. Perhaps the Clubs most notable cup run was in the 1976 Haig National Village Knock-out tournament losing by one run to Whiteley Village in the Regional Final (a win would have put the Club in the last 8 in the country).

Carters Steam Fair
In 1964, the famous "Great Steam Fair" was held for three days at Shottesbrooke Park near White Waltham.  This is widely considered to be the forerunner of today's steam and vintage rallies in England, such as the Great Dorset Steam Fair.

David Levithan's Wide Awake begins in the near future with the election of Abraham Stein, the first gay Jewish president. It's a provocative premise, especially for a young adult novel, though hardly a surprising one for an author whose debut, Boy Meets Boy, was heralded by Booklist as a "revolution in the publishing of gay-themed books for adolescents." That novel imagined a high school romance remarkably free of coming-out angst, and was selected by the American Library Association as one of 2004's Best Books for Young Adults.
Since then Levithan, also the editor of Scholastic's PUSH imprint, has continued to win acclaim with books including The Realm of Possibility, a novel in verse; Are We There Yet?, a love triangle involving two brothers adrift in Venice; and Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist, a night-long love story, written with Rachel Cohn, in which the token straight guy in a queer punk band learns about tikkun olam.
What made you write Wide Awake?
I think the very, very specific origin comes from listening to Green Day's American Idiot album on the bus ride home to Hoboken shortly after the election of 2004. I was obviously thinking very much about the American political system, and about all the protest music that had come out around the election, and was wondering what the teen novel equivalent of that would be. Why a gay Jewish president's election came into my head, I have no idea. But that seemed to be an interesting event to start with, and then to show the teens' reactions to it.
Why did you make Stein both gay and Jewish?
I wanted him to be sort of an outsider and unexpected choice on many different levels. If he had just been gay or just been Jewish, then it would have become all about those lines, and I think if you introduce two of them, then it becomes about something broader. And as a gay Jew myself, I thought that was an interesting intersection, not that I'm putting myself in the presidency.
It's actually hard to get a grip on Stein—we only get his speeches and his public persona.
It would be so easy to play up his gayness and his Jewishness, and sort of cater to some wacko stereotype. Of course, most people would like to think, "Oh, my God, a gay Jew would be totally different," but the truth of the matter is, although his views are clearly informed by his identity, first and foremost in the context we see him he is a politician and he is somebody talking about America.
How would you describe the Jewish characters in your novels?
Some of them take a good amount of identity from it, but others do not. In Wide Awake, I deliberately made the most eager-to-be-Jewish character not Jewish, and I wanted to use that as a mirror for Duncan to see himself, just hearing this outsider be like, "Oh, my God, and then you light the candles on Shabbat, and oh, my God, you do this for this holiday," because if it's your life you don't really think about it as much.
The novel contains other historical inventions, like the "non-shopping mall," the Greater Depression, and a political party called the Decents.
The one I want most to happen is the Jesus Revolution where the people who associate Christianity and Christ with love and kindness and forgiveness—we can call them the "Christian left"—steal the mantle back from the people who instead use Christianity for hatred and for intolerance.
I'm constantly joking that I set out to write a book that starts with the election of a gay Jewish president, and ended up writing a book that is largely about interpretations of Jesus, a subject which I did not know very much about because we didn't get to that Testament in Hebrew school.
Is Wide Awake courting controversy?
Certainly I am aware that it could be controversial. At the same time, that's not why I wrote it. I wrote it, again, to sort of deal with these themes and these characters and talk about where we are now by showing where we could be. But when your first book is called Boy Meets Boy, you know that you've already alienated a good amount of the population, and that's very freeing because you don't have to censor and you don't have to hold yourself back.
One very deliberate thing about Wide Awake is that it's very much meant to be a political novel. And I think certainly in teen literature there is not a very long history of political novels, especially explicitly political novels. There are a lot of allegorical ones.
Did you always know that you wanted to write books for teenagers?
I started working at Scholastic when I was in college, and just kept at it, and really just became totally enamored with teen literature and teen fiction. Ultimately, what I love about teen literature is, it can effect change in readers. When you know your readers are grappling with issues of identity, the right book at the right time can make all the difference in the world.
The books in PUSH's catalog vary across the board in terms of ethnicities and identities. How intentional is that?
The idea of creating sort of a new wave of teen literature that actually reflected teen's lives rather than the lives of their parents or grandparents was something we were really active about, and getting different voices in there was really important to us. We're not saying, "Oh, we need an Indian book! We need an Orthodox Jewish punk rock book!" It comes from the authors, and we find authors who bring us great voices.
Does that reflect a larger shift in young adult literature?
Certainly in the 70s and 80s, it was more problem novels. It was, like, "Let's do a book about anorexia." That isn't the case anymore. It really has to be much more based in story and character.
There's a good deal of outspoken anti-Semitism in the novel from some of Stein's opponents, which in a way seems less believable than the anti-gay rhetoric. When Lieberman ran for vice president, people talked about his orthodoxy in an oblique way but never called him a "dirty Jew," as Stein is called.
I do oftentimes talk about—I don't know if it's a bell curve—but sort of the progression of tolerance, and how a lot of the things that I, as a gay man, am facing right now are very similar to the things that my grandfather as a Jewish man was facing two generations ago, or that an African American would have faced 40 or 50 years ago. Again, it's not by any means an equal parallel, but I think that there are resonances throughout. I often talk in terms of teen literature because that's what I know best, and say there are people, some of them very well intentioned, who will say very openly, "Oh, we can't carry a gay book in my library, there would be complaints." And certainly at this point in society, if a person openly said, "Oh, I'm sorry, we can't have Jewish books in this library," or, "Oh, I'm sorry, there are some parents in my school who are anti-Semitic, so they might object. They think Judaism is wrong," there's no way that would ever pass.
Are you worried people might say the book is too idealistic?
If there's anything in this book, it is this notion that you should be idealistic; you should have ideals. Certainly, you have to wed them to reality, but at the same time, we dismiss things as idealistic all the time, as if "idealistic" is somehow synonymous with "unrealistic" and "impossible." And, without giving away the whole ending, it was meant to be an optimistic book. I think it is trying to show and create a world that could be possible if we all got our act together and did it.
hi!,I really like your writing very much! share we keep in touch extra approximately your article on AOL? I need a specialist on this area to resolve my problem. Maybe that's you! Looking ahead to look you.

Bacup mum devastated after memorial to son is removed so council can 'cut the grass'
"I'm sure there's somewhere they could put it where it could send a message out"
Andrew GentryVideo Journalist
The memorial banner for Kristian Johnson, pictured last year (Image: Paula Johnson)
A mum from Bacup has spoken of her disappointment after being asked to remove her son's memorial from the roadside so the council could 'cut the grass'.
Paula Johnson's 'kind and caring' son, Kristian, was killed by a drink driver in the Rossendale town last year, aged just 24.
On 17th June 2019, he had been celebrating Father's Day with some friends - having tragically lost his own father - before walking back home in the early hours of the morning.
However, while crossing Market Street near the Texaco garage, he was hit by a car which was being driven by someone over twice the legal limit for alcohol, and died at the scene.
Remembering Kristian, Paula told us: "He was very intelligent - almost too intelligent for the world, he was a very deep thinker.
Kristian, who was described as 'kind and caring' by his mother (Image: Paula Johnson)
"He was very caring and knew his right from wrong. If he didn't agree with something you'd know about it.
"He was really compassionate, some of his friends said they wouldn't be here if it wasn't for Kristian - he saved one of them from some very deep mental health issues."
Paula was left devastated by the incident, and wanted to put together a memorial where Kristian's family and friends could grieve, while also raising awareness of the anguish that drink driving can cause.
"It was a way for everyone to remember Kristian. He was my only child and I've lost my husband so everything's been taken from me," Paula told LancsLive.
"I don't want Kristian's death to be in vain. I have a life sentence now and I need to express to people what it feels like as I don't want other people to suffer.
The memorial featured flowers and pictures of Kristian, alongside the slogan 'Drink driving takes lives and destroys families' - and that's exactly what Paula believes it's done.
"It's the snowball effect as it affects the community - it's impacted all his friends.
"The message to me was to think before you get behind the wheel of a car after using drink or drugs, because of the impact it can have on people's lives."
Paula looked after the memorial for several months - it was located close to where Kristian died and on council-owned land.
However, just before Christmas last year, she received a letter from Rossendale Borough Council in which they said the memorial needed to be removed so the land could be maintained.
"I really was upset when I had to take it down," Paula said.

"I received a number of positive comments about the awareness it did raise, and it was quite an impactful banner.
"They said it would deteriorate because it was partly made from wood.
"I offered to move it and fix it properly and weatherproof it but they came back and said 'no there are other ways of raising awareness' and said I could have a bench.
"I'm sure there's somewhere they could put it where it could send a message out."
Paula told us that although she's 'heartbroken' about losing the memorial, she fully understands the reasons why it had to be done, but has not been able to find an alternative which gets her message out there.
She has rejected the idea of a memorial bench as she doesn't think it would have the impact on people that she's looking for.
"I want to make it clear that I am grateful to the council but the intention was to get the message out there and now I don't think I'm able to do that," she said.
"I would like the council to consider where we can put the banner if people are unhappy with it being there."
A spokesperson for Rossendale council told us: "We all feel deeply for Mrs Johnson. What happened to her son was tragic.
"We're all mums, dads, brothers and sisters and we're truly sorry if our letter added to her pain. That was never our intention."
The heartbroken mum has even had to deal with online abuse after posting her story on social media, with some suggesting the display was 'chavvy' and would cause distraction.
"I had the banner approved by the Highways Agency," she said.
"I didn't want people to stare at the banner, I just wanted it to be impactful whenever people saw it. It was not to offend anybody.
"Some people told me that it's dangerous but look at the roundabout in Rawtenstall where there are tonnes of adverts and banners, it's nonsense."

Now, Paula Johnson is hoping that a solution will be able to be found soon, so no one has to go through the same anguish as her.
"I just want more awareness to be raised in the area as a lot of people drink drive in Bacup," she said.
"There's not a lot of police presence and people think they can do it and get away with it.
"Regardless of who they are, I really don't want people to go through what I went through."

Under the wing of Devin Gardner, Joe Milton ready to be Michigan starting quarterback
Angelique S. Chengelis
At the end of a workout earlier this summer, Devin Gardner, a former Michigan starting quarterback, and Joe Milton, who appears to be the next starter for the Wolverines, held a throwing competition.
Gardner, who hosts the "Forward Progress" podcast, also operates Young Go Getters, which develops young quarterbacks from on-the-field skills to their mental approach to football. He also spent considerable time this summer helping Milton develop and polish his game. They held their friendly competitions at the end of workouts with the young quarterbacks watching.
"On the last throw, he beat me," Gardner told The Detroit News.
That was fine with Gardner. He had won some of the competitions with Milton, lost others. What happened next was momentous.
"After he beat me, at 6-foot-5, 250 pounds, all of it, he just burst into a backflip with no hands. Out of nowhere. No running start. Nothing. Just standing there," Gardner said, laughing. "It was the most impressive thing I've ever seen, even more impressive than making all the throws. He stood there, jumped straight up in the air flipped backward and landed on his feet."
The Big Ten announced Wednesday it will hold an eight-game season with a plus-one beginning the weekend of Oct. 23-24. Also that day, news broke that Dylan McCaffrey, the backup to two-year Michigan starting quarterback Shea Patterson, has decided to opt out this season and plans to transfer. That makes Milton, a junior, the likely starter this fall with Cade McNamara the backup.
Milton has been preparing for this since he arrived at Michigan in 2018. He has even taken leadership classes since coming to Michigan.
"When I was younger, I was never outspoken," Milton said last December before the Wolverines' 35-16 loss to Alabama in the Citrus Bowl. "When I wanted to say something, I never spoke. Now that I am who I am, taking the leadership classes being in the role I am now, I speak when I want to speak. And I speak when it's the right time to speak."
His teammates have noticed the growth.

"One of the biggest things with him is more mental," linebacker Josh Ross said Thursday. "He always had the talent. He always had the size, had the speed. It was just more mental with him. The biggest thing with him that I noticed is how much he really became a leader this year and how much he matured going into this next season. I think he's going to have a fabulous year, and I'm glad he's on my team."
Receiver Giles Jackson said Milton has been more focused in his approach. But one thing that hasn't changed is his powerful arm. He has worked on touch since arriving at Michigan, especially last year with quarterbacks coach Ben McDaniels and under the watchful eye of offensive coordinator Josh Gattis.
Milton said it's no sweat making 75- to 80-yard throws, and he has said the longest throw he's made is 85 yards.
"Joe has a strong arm, one of the strongest arms I've ever seen," Jackson said during a Zoom call Thursday with reporters. "In practice one time, we had this deep ball, and I was probably like 70 yards out, and he just launched it. I thought he threw it late, but the ball beat me to my spot. I was like, 'Whoa.' He has an arm I've never seen before."
Gardner does not hold back on how good he thinks Milton can be.
"He's got the talent to be a No. 1 (NFL) pick at some point. I truly, truly believe that," Gardner said. "There's been plenty of quarterbacks that have come through and I try to be as honest and unbiased as possible, but Joe is that next guy where he's going to be a household name.
"I've been pretty out-front and steadfast, and I haven't wavered at all as far as his talent even before I worked with him. I thought he was a very talented guy, but after getting a chance to work with him, all the things people were saying, 'Oh, he's not accurate,' and all these different things, those were untrue. Let's just put it exactly how it is -- he's got the arm talent, he's got the arm strength. There's no other quarterback in the country, NFL or pro, that if we're just going out to a football field to throw footballs, that I would 100 percent say, 'I'm talking this guy over Joe Milton,' unless his name is (Kansas City Chiefs quarterback) Patrick Mahomes."
The two worked two to three times a week during the summer, Milton towering over the younger quarterbacks with whom Gardner works.
Milton said last season he had been focusing on dialing down the heat on his throws and developing more touch.
"He is very talented as a passer and now he's doing a good job of bringing it back some, not throwing every ball 100 mph, having even more touch," Gardner said. "He had pretty good touch to begin with, but he's been working on that a lot, and he's done a great job."
Is Milton better than Gardner was in college?
"Yeah. Without question," Gardner said. "And that's hard for me to say. But I'm a realist. I might be a more explosive runner. He's a huge man. On my best day, I had a pretty strong arm, but I can't hold a candlestick to this guy's arm as far as strength goes. He really takes the cake with his strength.
"It's effortless the way he throws the ball. All the time I worked with him, and we worked pretty extensively, I didn't see him throw one pass that wasn't a spiral. Everybody knows, when you throw a spiral, it's a lot easier to catch rather than throwing a 100 mph duck. Those are the little things that people ignore.
"You see him get in at the end of games, he throws interceptions and he's taking chances, but we're down 30. He's trying to win the game, so you have to take chances, and people automatically criticize him and it's very unfair for Joe who hasn't had a chance to get extensive time where he's not trying to come back from behind to no avail."
Gardner draws back to his story of the Milton backflip to illustrate that another knock on Milton, that he's not a great runner, is not fair, either.
"He's not going to be the runner I was, just like I wasn't the runner Denard (Robinson) was, but he's not going to be a statue where he can't get out," Gardner said.
Gardner was the last black quarterback at Michigan, and Milton will be the next. Dennis Franklin was Michigan's first black quarterback (1972-1974), setting the stage for those who followed, Michael Taylor, Demetrius Brown, Denard Robinson and Gardner.
Yeah, honestly, it is meaningful," Ross said when asked about seeing a black quarterback at Michigan starting. "It's definitely meaningful to me but not even just to go black, white. Just as my friend, just want to see my friend succeed and really thrive this year because he had the talent."
Gardner is looking forward to watching Milton perform and take the torch from him in a sense.
"I was the last black quarterback, and now he's getting his shot," Gardner said. "And I think that's really cool."

Change has come to one of Midtown's most well-regarded cocktail bars. Bartender Chris Frankel has stepped down from his day to day management role at Spare Key.
Both Frankel and Spare Key earned CultureMap Tastemaker Award nominations for the niche it carved as an intimate cocktail lounge in the middle of Midtown's party scene. The unique 50 states menu drew upon Frankel's passion for traveling and demonstrated America's diverse taste in cocktails.
In April, the UFO Hospitality Group opened Stoked Tacos & Tequila in the former Cook & Collins space. As part of that transition, it redecorated Spare Key, which occupies the space above Stoked. Adam Puskorius, the chef-owner of UFO Hospitality, affirms that Spare Key will remain distinct from Stoked by maintaining its current decor and '80s-oriented playlist.
Once Frankel informed Puskorius of his desire to travel more, they came to a mutual decision to bring in someone else to handle managerial tasks like training and ordering. Although Frankel will still appear behind the bar as his schedule permits, Stoked bartenders like Chris Schmit will start working there, too.
With Frankel's departure, the bar's inventory of obscure liquors — another manifestation of the bartender's travels — will shrink and new cocktails will be designed to appeal to the Midtown crowd. "We'll do a couple tiki cocktail that are shared drinks for groups," Puskorius says.


It marks Kasich's return to the state that holds the first-in-the-nation primary.
Pundit alert! Ohio Gov. John Kasich is heading to New Hampshire.
The Republican's trip to Henniker, N.H. on April 3 is ostensibly to participate in a "fireside chat" as part of series at New England College.
But it marks Kasich's return to the state that holds the first-in-the-nation primary - a state in which Kasich finished second in 2016 to eventual GOP nominee and president Donald Trump. Kasich won only one primary, in his home state of Ohio.
Kasich is a near weekly presence on the Sunday network talk shows. He frequently criticizes Trump and has fought the president on health care, immigration, trade and foreign policy.
He has declined to talk about any 2020 bid, but he hasn't ruled one out. There's been speculation he may even run as an independent.
This is not Kasich's first trip to New Hampshire since Trump's election - he visited in April 2017 as well.
And it comes as Kasich struggles to maintain his popularity in a Republican party that has morphed into a party of Trump. In Ohio, none of the Republicans running for governor want his endorsement; a poll in December found Trump would trounce Kasich among Republicans by more than three-to-one.

The 5 Best Burgers in L.A.
There is nothing more quintessentially American than your classic hamburger, even though it's widely accepted that hamburgers originated in Germany. But, that's beside the point.

Planning Studies
Rail Deck Park
Rail Deck Park Overview
Rail Deck Park Conceptual Rendering - Bird's Eye View
In fall 2016, Toronto City Council endorsed a proposal for a new major park in Downtown Toronto, to be built over the rail corridor between Bathurst Street and Blue Jays Way. Known as Rail Deck Park, the project will transform this unused air space into Toronto's next great gathering space for recreation, culture and celebration.
The project is in stage 2: due diligence and concept development as outlined on page 9 in Results of Feasibility Analysis and Next Steps for Implementation.
Staff intend to bring forward the next project report to Council in 2021 which will provide direction on the scope and budget for ongoing work on the Rail Deck Park project.
The Official Plan Amendment (OPA 395) was appealed and upheld by the Local Planning Appeal Tribunal.
Toronto City Council adopted the Official Plan Amendment (OPA 395) which designated this area of the rail corridor for parks and open space.
In December, City Council approved stage 2: due diligence and concept development
The implementation strategy for Rail Deck Park was approved by City Council.
At approximately 20 acres, Rail Deck Park represents a bold and creative solution to the challenges of city-building; the first of its kind in the city and the country. An innovative deck structure – essentially a giant bridge across the rail corridor – will provide the foundation and be designed to minimize impacts on rail operations below. It will be engineered to support all the elements of a vibrant and dynamic urban park: lawns, gathering and play spaces, trees, water features, public art, and more.
The downtown rail corridor area is the last remaining site suitable for a large park to support growth in the Downtown and serve as a city-wide asset. In keeping with the principles of the recently-approved City of Toronto Parkland Strategy, Rail Deck Park will connect the broader parks and open space system, unite surrounding visitor attractions (Rogers Centre, CN Tower, Ripley's Aquarium, Fort York, The Bentway) into a major destination district, and enhance regional connectivity by integrating with the planned GO Expansion program.
As a result of early consultation with the public and key stakeholders, a draft vision was developed for Rail Deck Park. The vision is for a bold transformation of the space above the active rail corridor into a signature public park for the local community as well as acting as a major destination for all of Toronto to enjoy. The Rail Deck Park Secondary Plan provides the building blocks, objectives and desired outcomes for Rail Deck Park. There are six objectives outlined in the report:
Provide a park for all of Toronto
Enhance connectivity and accessibility
Create a place to gather and celebrate
Invest in resiliency and green infrastructure
Support and integrate rail
Acknowledge and conserve the history of the railway lands.
Objectives of this public space include making connections across the rail corridor between neighbourhoods, between cultural and entertainment facilities, and to connect other area investments such as the Bentway and the proposed Spadina-Front GO Regional Express Rail station. To the immediate east of Blue Jays Way, Oxford Properties Group's Union Park proposal includes approximately 3 acres of contiguous park and open space, including 2 acres to be built above the rail corridor. This proposed park and open space would be immediately across the street from the eastern extent of Rail Deck Park, providing a unique opportunity to align the design and implementation of both in order to enhance the public benefits of each proposal. The combined parkland resulting from the Union Park proposal and Rail Deck Park (at full build-out) could bring the total park space above the rail corridor to up to 23 acres (9.3 hectares).
Secondary Plan Area
Rail Deck Park Study Area
The Secondary Plan applies to the land within the rail corridor between Bathurst Street and Blue Jay Way, and directly adjacent city-owned properties. This includes Northern Linear Park and the planned Mouth of the Creek Park. The total area of the Rail Deck Park Secondary Plan is 8.8ha (21.7ha).
Toronto has a long legacy of investing in its parks and public realm network, which has endowed it with a well-used open space system that extends across the city.
As the City grows, it must take stock of its parks and open space system to identify where needs and opportunities exist to expand and enhance parkland to support the increasing number of people who call Toronto home.
The City began a major review of its parks and public realm as part of the TOcore Study and the development of the proposed Downtown Plan in 2014. This study identified a need for expanded parkland in the Downtown to serve growing populations and maintain liveability. However, in rapidly intensifying areas like Downtown, finding space for new major parks is difficult and costly. Through the TOcore study, the rail corridor, between Bathurst Street and Blue Jays Way, was identified as a major opportunity for parkland acquisition in the Downtown.
The vision for Rail Deck Park was formally announced by Mayor Tory in August 2016. Shortly after, City Council endorsed a work plan for Rail Deck Park. The work plan includes an Updated Planning Framework to support a park use over the site and an Implementation Strategy that addresses design, phasing, real estate, and financial considerations.

Backgrounder #2: Rail Deck Park (September 15, 2016)


After Tickfaw Guns on U.S. Highway 51 in New Orleans, LA was broken into April 8th, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives New Orleans Field Division are receiving help from a source sure to send liberal gun grabbers into shock.
The National Shooting Sports Foundation.
Investigators said the burglary was reported around 2AM on April 8 after burglars forced their way inside and stole numerous firearms from the business before fleeing, according to ATF New Orleans.
Now, the ATF and NSSF are offering a $5,000 reward for information that leads to the arrest of the burglars of Tickfaw Guns. The reward is in addition to the $1,000 already offered by Crime Stoppers of Tangipahoa.
I hope people see how much character the NSSF is showing here. By ponying up cash to help the ATF catch gun thieves and recover stolen weapons, the National Shooting Sports Foundation is proving once again they put their priorities over profit.
The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) New Orleans Field Division is offering a reward, along with the National Sports Shooting Foundation (NSSF), for a total reward of up to $5,000 for information leading to the arrest and conviction of those responsible for the burglary and theft of firearms from a federal firearms licensee (FFL). The FFL, Tickfaw Auction Company, a/k/a "Tickfaw Guns," is located at 49035 U.S.-51, Tickfaw, LA. This reward is in addition to the previous reward announced by Crime Stoppers of Tangipahoa of up to $1,000.
This reward is part of a larger national cooperative initiative between the NSSF, the trade association for the firearms industry, and ATF in which NSSF matches ATF's reward in cases involving the theft of firearms from federally licensed firearms retailers. ATF works closely with members of the firearms industry to curb the criminal acquisition and misuse of firearms.
On April 8, 2016, at approximately 2 A.M., unknown individuals forced entry into and burglarized the gun store and stole numerous firearms from the business. The suspect(s) fled in an unknown direction with the stolen firearms.
All calls will be kept confidential. More information about ATF and its programs is available at www.atf.gov.

Social Distancing Spins – Days 15-17
March 29, 2020 April 2, 2020 by thedailyrecord, posted in Album review, review
The weekend weather was way too nice to be inside playing records. Here's what I listened to when I wasn't enjoying nature.
Fucked Up – Dose Your Dreams (2018) Toronto's finest sextet have always been incredible musicians, but sometimes their subtlety and talent gets lost behind frontman Damian Abraham's blowtorch of a voice. Here, on their fifth album, Abraham pulls back a little and the rest of the band flexes their muscles. I guess the story on Dose Your Dreams is a continuation of their 2011 masterpiece David Comes to Life. I have listened to David Comes to Life countless times and have only and elementary understanding of its story. The narrative on Dose Your Dreams is lost on me. So forget about that. Check out the rare mashup of hardcore punk and jazz saxophone at the end of "Raise Your Voice Joyce" (dig the synthesizer on the track, too). The title track is straight-up indie rock, while "Two I's Closed" sounds like it could be the Dirty Projectors. If this sounds like the band leaving punk and throwing everything at the wall, fear not. The songs are still here, just not in the way you might expect.
Dose Your Dreams is the sound of Fucked Up spreading their wings. It will be interesting to see where they go from here.
Joe Callicot – Ain't A Gonna Lie to You (2003) Don't feel bad if you aren't familiar with Mississippi Joe Callicot – I wasn't either. Cruising the liner notes and the web, I found out that the dozen songs here were recorded in 1967, two years before his death. I could recite a few other facts but all you really need to know is that Callicot is an acoustic blues picker in the vein of fellow Mississippian John Hurt. Callicot's voice isn't as molasses-smooth as Hurt's, but if you like the relaxed style of one, you'll enjoy the other. These times are anxious enough. Put this on and unwind.
Blondie – Eat to the Beat (1979) In her autobiography, Debbie Harry describes Blondie as a nonstop circus of recording, tours and musicians. In the six year (and six album) blur between playing shows at CBGB and headlining arenas before breaking up, Harry has a point. Still, it would be nice if she slowed down to let fans savor the journey a little bit more. Blondie's fourth album opens with the fantastic "Dreaming," still a concert staple. We also get the new wave dance classic "Atomic" and cinematic "Union City Blue." Eat to the Beat is the only Blondie album I own, but every time I play it I'm reminded I need to seek out a couple more.
Billie Holiday – Lady in Satin (1958) As the final album released during Billie Holiday's brief life, it's hard not to listen to this album and not think about her tragic story and play the what-if game. Her ragged voice here is another constant reminder of her hard life. As an inspired artist, Holiday is able to use her ragged state to her advantage. The raw tension she infuses into every performance adds another dimension to songs like "Glad to Be Unhappy" and "You've Changed." I also thought about this article and how racists in power conspired to make Holiday's life even more difficult. I know it sounds fantastic, but just check out the reporting and get back to me. Rest in peace, Lady Day.
Stevie Wonder – Music of My Mind (1972) Stevie Wonder's incredible run of classic albums usually begins with Talking Book, but the people who start there are missing the two great records that came before that landmark. Music of My Mind came out just six months before Book and lays the groundwork for all of the latter's achievements. The synthesizers and clavinets that came to define Wonder's sound are trotted out for the first time here. Music of My Mind is also the first album where Wonder plays most of the instruments himself. (Sayonara Funk Brothers.) The first side starts strong with the upbeat "Love Having You Around." "Superwoman" is a reworking of a song from Wonder's previous album. Its great in both forms. "I Love Every Little Thing About You" would fit fine on a playlist of Wonder love songs, right between "All I Do" and "As." The second side is good as solid as well. Consider this a warm-up for Talking Book and jump in. It's all there – almost.
Justin Townes Earle – Absent Fathers (2015) The first time I saw Justin Townes Earle in concert, he was part of his dad Steve Earle's road crew. He came onstage (barefoot) at the end of the night to add extra guitar to "What's So Funny 'Bout Peace Love and Understanding." Unfortunately, the father had to fire his son for excessive drug use before the tour was over. Keep in mind Steve Earle actually served time in the early '90s for heroin, cocaine and weapons possession, so outdrugging him is a pretty neat trick.
This bit of biography also frames the sadness that saturates the characters on Absent Fathers. None of these ten songs are about the perfect nuclear family, but Justin Earle inherited his dad's knack for songwriting and inhabits these characters so well it's hard not to be moved.
Bobo Yeye – Belle Epoque in Upper Volta (compilation) I am convinced – but willing to hear otherwise – that the roots of all music either goes back to Gregorian monks chanting in Europe or African drumming and singing. While both forms have their appeal, I'll take the dirty African funk found here any day. Loud drums, horns, fuzzy guitars, soulful vocals, primitive recording. Yeah, this hits the sweet spot. Accompanying the three albums in this Numero collection is a hardcover book of photography and essays about the music. Feast your eyes and your ears.

Greg D says:
That Fucked Up album was probably my favorite album of the past decade — it came at kind of a tough time, and affected me on levels I still don't fully understand. I've wanted to write something about it for a few years but never quite found the words.
"Eat to the Beat" remains my favorite Blondie album roughly four decades after I first heard it — in the last year I played it a ton in the car, and now my kids cheerfully sing along.
thedailyrecord says:
Thanks for reading and taking the time to comment, Greg. David Comes to Life is one of those albums where dancing about architecture seems insufficient to capture it's majesty. (One of the reasons I dipped my toe in with Dose Your Dreams, first.)
Passing along great music to your kids is an underappreciated joy of parenthood. I don't know why more people don't celebrate its wonder.


Come join the celebration! Thanks to a matching grant from the city of St. Petersburg, we will soon have two murals in our neighborhood! City officials, artists, local businesses, and residents will gather for the unveiling of the murals and other fun events throughout the neighborhood including: live music, giveaways, food from local restaurants, neighborhood cleanup, and a scavenger hunt. Lots of prizes and giveaways will make this a fun afternoon for all ages.
It begins at the 9th Street North history-themed mural, designed and painted by Derek Donnelly at the Cut -Ups Salon wall, and finishes at the 4th Street North JWag's wall, which is a nature-inspired mural being designed and painted by Cecilia Lueza and DAAS. In the time between the two mural unveilings, we will have a dual neighborhood clean-up and scavenger hunt. A centrally-located yard party will be held so that participants can take a break and grab some food and a drink. Our confirmed sponsors and donors to date are Berkshire Hathaway Home Services, Ace Hardware, Banyan Cafe and Catering, and Rollin' Oats Grocery Store; other businesses are expected to be announced. Prizes will be awarded for a few lucky folks that participate in the cleanup. For the scavenger hunt, smartphone with Facebook or Instagram access suggested per team; printed materials will also be available. All ages and abilities welcome. Be sure to join us for the clean-up, scavenger hunt, food, fun, prizes, and mural unveilings!
Details will be shared via the CHNA Facebook page, email, mychna.org, and Nextdoor App; fliers that will be delivered door-to-door. Be on the look-out! If you would like to contribute to, or help with, this event, please contact Angie Conner at angie.conner@gmail.com.

Nineteen years ago, I was 19 years old.
And right about this time, I was at a now defunct nightclub in Media, PA with some friends from my college basketball team. We were meeting up with a bunch of people two of them worked with, including a guy that one of my friends liked. I was just along for the ride. The original plan was to go watch the guys play basketball, but their plans changed and they were heading out instead…so we did, too.
A funny thing happened. The guy my friend liked had a bunch of other guy friends with him (go figure). And one of those guys kept waving to me (in a hilariously goofy way) from across the room. I remember thinking that he was SO handsome, he couldn't possibly be waving to me. But he was. Again and again. I can still picture his face, his outfit, his giant smile and funny wave. I can still picture who I now know as his best friend, standing next to him, egging him on. Finally, we got up the courage to speak to one another.
And today, 19 years later, he's still all of those things.
We went our first official date a short while later – over to Pennsauken to see Dangerous Minds.
I remember being completely giddy that evening getting ready for our first date. Even my mom could tell something was different. I remember being silly and sitting on the floor in the front of my living room, sneakily peeking out the curtains so I knew the exact moment when he pulled up.
We spent as much time together as we possibly could over the next few weeks. And during that time, I had the good fortune to meet some of my closest friends today (his best friends and one of their wives). I loved everything about what was happening around me…and sadly, I had to pack up and move to central Pennsylvania towards the end of August.
He went to school at Temple, and honestly, we weren't sure if a long-distance thing was going to work out. After all, we were young and in college…in two cities / towns that were very far away.
We wrote each other letters everyday. Our parents funded some pretty hefty phone bills. I went home as much as I could; he came to Penn State as much as he could. We were making it work. However, I wasn't crazy about Penn State and living so far away from almost everyone I loved. I missed him (and my family – haha) so much and I knew, deep down, I just needed to move home. I lived for mail or phones calls or packages from home. I hopped into any car that was heading to the Philadelphia area, and quite often, made my poor Dad drive to Allentown to pick me up from a friend's house…because the ride from Penn State Main Campus stopped there. I finally mustered the courage to ask my parents about transferring home for the following school year. They said as long as I wouldn't get too far off track, I could transfer.
So the very next year, I did.
And, yep, now we're living happily ever after. Haha.

Specialist business property adviser, Christie & Co has released its annual report 'The German Hotel Market: Overview of 6 key cities', analysing the six top hotel markets in Germany. The report also looks at how tourism in Berlin, Munich, Frankfurt am Main, Hamburg, Cologne and Dusseldorf developed in 2018.
The German hotel market has been flourishing for years and the report shows that for the ninth consecutive year, overnight numbers have increased on the previous year. However, not all cities performed as strongly as others – who won last year's performance race and who will need to catch up in 2019?
The capital, Berlin is not only Germany's largest city, it is also the largest hotel market with more than 121,000 beds and 27.1 million overnights in 2018. In the last five years, bed supply increased by 10.7% and overnights grew by 14.9%. While the first half of the year performed as expected, KPIs went above and beyond in the following months due to multiple trade shows and events. At the end of the year, RevPAR was noted at €79 or 6.9% higher than in 2017, which is the largest RevPAR growth among the observed cities.
Demand measured in overnights in the Bavarian capital, Munich has grown 7% year-on-year since 2014, which equals the largest relative demand growth among the cities analysed. This proved to be an extraordinary result, particularly considering that Munich, with an average daily rate of €129 in 2018, is the most expensive city of those analysed. The city recorded 16.1 million overnights, half of which came from foreign visitors. After a weak first quarter, RevPAR growth set off in April and reached a peak in September and October. Demand boosters were multiple trade fairs as well as the annual Octoberfest. Year ending, RevPAR was at €96 or 4.2% higher than in 2017.
Frankfurt am Main is a popular business destination and financial hotspot. These advantages were reflected in the city's 2018 tourism statistics as the banking city registered almost 10 million overnights. Alongside the growing demand, bed supply also increased, breaking the 50,000 rooms mark. Together with fewer demand peaks and a disappointing Q4, performance deteriorated slightly and at the report highlights an average €83 RevPAR, made up of both a lower occupancy (69%) and a lower average rate (€120).
Hamburg has been outperforming itself year on year, but this year's report saw the port city at the Elbe river pass the RevPAR leader crown back to Munich. Now runner-up among the six cities, its RevPAR reached €92 (-2.5%) in 2018. Neither occupancy nor rate remained unscathed. While bed supply has increased by 21.4% since 2014, overnights grew by just 20.1%. It would be premature to assume oversupply, however the 12,000 rooms in the pipeline are likely to increase competitive pressure and expedite market consolidation.
Cologne is a popular MICE destination as around 40% of demand can be backtracked to this segment. As such, performance is shown to react in tandem to changes in the fair and congress calendar. 2018 ended with a lower RevPAR of €82 for the carnival city, down 4.8% compared to 2017 levels, even though demand increases outpaced supply growth (2.4% per year versus 0.3% per year). Currently, there are c.1,700 rooms in the pipeline and planned future trade fairs are expected to fuel its 2019 performance.
While the report shows that the number of hotels and B&Bs remained fairly stable in Dusseldorf over the last five years, bed supply has increased by 12%. Over the same period, demand growth measured in overnights remained below supply growth at 11.4%. Like Cologne, Dusseldorf is strongly dependant on the trade fair cycle and thus, RevPAR is shown to typically slump during holidays and off-fair periods, peaking during event and fair days. Due to fewer such peaks in 2018, RevPAR was down 7.8% to €76 compared with the city's 2017 result.
According to Christie & Co's report, the German hotel market is still going strong. Many key metrics underline the market's strength, and investors' interest in the top six cities remains high. The continuing demand surge reflects their attractiveness and even as supply is increasing, most cities seem poised to absorb this supply in the medium term. Like 2018, the top six expect considerable supply increases, which may lead to below average performance growth in the short run. Depending on the trade fair cycle in some markets, such growth may even be deferred to 2020.

Tanzania: Public Procurement Bill Sails Through
June 30, 2016 - WebDesk - Comment is Closed
Members of Parliament (MPs) yesterday passed the Public Procurement Amendment Bill, with most of them applauding provisions that allow an open framework without the need of agreed prices set forth by government procurement services agency (GPSA).
The 40-clause bill, that seeks to make amendments to the Public Procurement Act, 2011, was approved after protracted deliberations between the government, parliamentary budget committee and legislators.
All the sides were locked in a tug-of-war as they debated a number of clauses and sections of the document with a view to refine it after the House had sat as a committee.
But at the end, the bill passed smoothly, after the Parliament had adopted a number of amendments proposed by Finance and Planning Minister, Dr Philip Mpango, the budget committee, under Ms Hawa Ghasia and other lawmakers.
"The Parliament has endorsed the Public Procurement Bill, which was the source of major outcry by most legislators. It will now be sent to the president for his assent," said the Deputy Speaker, Dr Tulia Ackson, who expressed optimism that the bill would have farreaching implications for the nation's progress.
In their contributions for the bill, the Budget Committee and MPs lauded the decision to amend Section 50 with a view to reduce costs by departing from the requirement to procure through a closed framework, which dictates agreed prices set forth by GPSA.
Presenting her committee's views on the bill, Ms Ghasia said: "Procurement stakeholders have long been complaining that this system adds to bureaucracy and inflates prices."
Vywawa Lawmaker Japheth Hasunga (CCM) also thumbed up the bill, noting that reducing the time taken for tendering process and favouring local contractors and companies were among the positive aspects in the new bill.
"To favour local contractors, companies and experts is very important, we cannot have sustainable development if we keep relying on foreign experts, we cannot have sustainable development if we continue depending on foreign companies," charged Hasunga, who also hailed the introduction of open framework, saying the agency's agreed prices were higher compared to market prices.
Another lawmaker who contributed to the bill was Martha Mlata (Special Seats- CCM). She praised President John Magufuli for his pledge to amend the Public Procurement Act of 2011 when inaugurating the 11th Parliament last November.
Ms Mlata hailed the decision to favour and empower local firms but urged the government to ensure locals are not undermined by foreign companies, who often submit low bids with the view to scuffle local bidders.
Another contributor was Babati Rural MP (CCM), Jitu Vrajlal Son, who described it as "the most important law that will decide whether the country attain the muchsought economic prosperity or not."
In their contributions, Kangi Lugola (Mwibara- CCM), John Kadutu (Ulyankulu-CCM) and Edward Mwalongo (Njombe Urban-CCM) suggested that the government should address payment delays to curb the problem of inflated prices.
They implored the government to accelerate payments to suppliers, service providers and contractors for the proposed law to have desired effects, noting that suppliers were trying to mitigate risks, opportunities and cost of delayed payments by inflating initial prices.
"How prepared is the government to accelerate payments to suppliers and contractors? Without the government's commitment to pay contractors timely, this Act will not be successful," Mr Lugola warned. Muheza MP (CCM) Adadi Rajabu recalled that public procurement was a measure of government's performance and how it fights corruption.
"All grand corruption cases originate from government tendering and procurement," he noted, adding that the proposed bill was very important since it stressed value for money.
"Many procurement laws, including those of World Bank and European Union insist on value for money," he pointed out. For her side, Ms Amina Mollel, (Special Seats-CCM), welcomed the provision that makes it mandatory for procuring entities to consider special groups, including women, youth, elderly and persons with disabilities, but called for good implementation of the same.
Njombe North legislator (CCM) Deo Sanga said the bill came at an opportune time and will save taxpayers' money, saying a provision that affords procuring entities to procure goods directly from manufacturers and wholesalers or service providers, will help check wastage in public expenditure.

About 300,000 Internet users in Iran have been spied on last month by one or several hackers who stole security certificates from a Dutch IT firm, a report presented by the Dutch government said.
Using a stolen certificate the hacker, or hackers, monitored people who visited Google.com, could steal their passwords and could obtain access to other services such as Facebook and Twitter, said Dutch IT firm Fox-IT, which wrote the report.
A certificate guarantees that a web surfer is securely connected but a stolen certificate enables a hacker to pretend a web surfer is securely connected to a website without the surfer knowing he is being monitored.
The report, which Dutch Interior Minister Henk Donner sent to the Dutch parliament, confirmed a statement last week from Google when it said that it had received reports of attacks on Google users and that "the people affected were primarily located in Iran."
"The list of domains and the fact that 99 per cent of the users are in Iran suggest that the objective of the hackers is to intercept private communications in Iran," Fox-IT said.
Social media such as Twitter and YouTube were used during protests in Iran after presidential elections in 2009, and Iranian authorities have been trying to fight opposition on the Internet, said Afshin Ellian, who fled Iran in the 1980s and is professor at Leiden University's law faculty.
"Tehran wants to be aware of oppositional activities inside and outside Iran. Using that information they can forcefully act against the opposition," Ellian said in his blog on the website of Dutch magazine Elsevier.
In April, there were signs Iran was helping Syria put down anti-government protests with advice on monitoring and blocking Internet use, a US official said at the time.
Dutch minister Donner told reporters he had not been able confirm that the certificates, which were stolen from Dutch IT firm DigiNotar, were hacked by Iranian state authorities.
"The only thing we have been able to establish is that the people who complained were in Iran," Donner said.
The Dutch government said that Dutch state websites may no longer be safe following the DigiNotar attack and the cabinet was investigating whether its sites were hacked by Iran.
The hacker or hackers also fabricated certificates for a website of Israel's intelligence service,Mossad, the CIA and Britain's Secret Intelligence Service, MI6, and other sites such as AOL and Microsoft, Fox-IT said.
The hacker or hackers left their fingerprint with the Persian words 'Janam Fadaye Rahbar', meaning 'I will sacrifice my soul for my leader' and identical to a message left when IT company Comodo was attacked in March, Fox-IT said in the report.
DigiNotar's network and procedures were "not sufficiently secure" to prevent the attack, Fox-IT said.
"The software installed on the public web servers was outdated and not patched. No antivirus protection was present on the investigated servers," Fox-IT said.
The Dutch government was investigating who has been involved in hacking the Dutch firm DigiNotar and the company was held responsible for possible negligence, Donner said in a letter to parliament.
"We are looking at the criminal and civil responsibility. The company and its US mother company are cooperating," Donner said.
DigiNotar is owned by US-listed IT firm VASCO Data Security International , which said in a statement earlier on Monday it did not expect the "incident" to have a significant impact on its future revenue or business plans.

This is a really impressive fan-made video. I thought it was stop-motion at first.
I used 3dsmax, Vray, and After Effects. I tried to use very little post work, so all the depth of field and motion blur were in the 3d camera. Though, I did render to exr files so I could tweak the exposure and get some subtle chromatic aberration effects in the extra bright areas. All the texture work is hand scanned or painted in photoshop, I think that helped it feel more cohesive.


PADUCAH, KY – Pet Fashion was all the rage during the Paducah Kennel Club Quilt City Classic Dog Show last weekend in the Paducah Convention Center.
This was my first dog show and it was a blast. The convention center was filled with wonderful people and their beautiful pets, both decked out to the nines.
But the focus was mainly on the dogs and they were nothing short of dazzling – combed to perfection and blow dried to diva status. The owners/competitors worked endlessly doing makeovers and touch ups on their pets throughout the day in between competitions.
I had a chance to go backstage (ok no backstage but it sounded good) and get some photos of the people and their pets, both of which were stunning.
That all said, I wanted to devote a page to the fashion part of the competition since it was so cute to see. more photos coming later on today!
I wanted to thank everyone for being so kind and allowing me to take some photos. It was a wonderful experience I will always cherish.


Woody Allen may not be one for these award shows, but his BFF Diane Keaton, who starred in his 1977 film Annie Hall, sure had a lot to say in his place.
The actress, dressed in true Woody fashion with a suit and black-rimmed glasses, accepted Allen's Cecil B. DeMille's honor in Allen's place at the 2014 Golden Globes tonight, and offered a speech that was full of admiration, curse words and even a little song!
"I think it's safe to say that Woody Allen is an anomaly. He's made 74 movies in 48 years. He's directed them, he's starred in them, he's produced them and, of course, he's written them. He's written all of them, every one. The feature, for me anyway, that sets Woody's writing apart are the voices of four decades of unforgettable female characters starting with La-Dee-Da Annie Hall all the way through to Cate Blanchett's beautiful performance in Blue Jasmine.
"It's kinda hard for me to wrap my mind around the fact that 179 of the world's most captivating actresses have appeared in Woody's films and there's a reason for this. The reason is they wanted to. They wanted to because Woody's women can't be compartmentalized, right? I mean, they struggle, they love, they fall apart, they dominate, they're funny, they're flawed. They are, in fact, the hallmark of Woody's work. But what's even more remarkable is that absolutely nothing links these unforgettable characters from the fact that they came from the mind of Woody Allen. And there you have it."
Keaton continues, "The same mind that summed up the contribution to filmmaking with this remark, 'One of the nice things about writing or any art, is if the thing's real, it kinda lives. All the success over it or the rejection never really matters because in the end, the thing will survive, or not survive, on its merits. Immortality via art is no big deal. François Truffaut died. His films live on. But that's not much help to François Truffaut. As I've said many times, rather than live in the hearts and minds of my fellow man, I would rather live on in my apartment.'"
Keaton adds, "We don't often associate people in show business with friendship and maybe that's because when we make these movies, we find ourselves in these intensely intimate situations with all these really remarkable people. And, for me anyway, these encounters, while wonderful, rarely become 45-year friendships. It kinda breaks my heart that I've known Woody for such a long time, but it also fills me with pride and affection and even love. If Woody saw this he'd say, 'Get the hook and get her off the [bleep] stage. [Bleep...bleep...bleep...bleep].'"
Yeah, we wish we knew what she was saying, too. She ended her speech with a nice song that you might know.
"Make new friends, but keep the old, one is silver and the other gold. A circle is round, it has no end. That's how long you're going to be my friend."
