Valentines Day's Burning Embers
15 February 2017 | Updated 01 January 1970
Firefighters took some time to control a fire that brought Albert Square in Manchester to a standstill on Valentine's Day afternoon.
Crews were called to the city centre at around midday after reports of flames and smoke coming from the roof of a building which housed a number of restaurants. They spent hours extinguishing the blaze and searching the building, to make sure the scene was safe and eventually started scaling the incident down.
Area Manager Warren Pickstone, who was Incident Commander, said: "Crews worked really hard to bring this incident under control. The fire had made its way into a vent so it was difficult to reach. Firefighters spent hours extinguishing it and thoroughly searching the building to ensure it had not spread anywhere else.
"We had to close off a number of roads for safety and access reasons but stated helping the area get back to normal at around 3:45pm."
An investigation into the fire is now underway.
Police have released CCTV footage following a fire at a church in Salford
At 11.20pm on Sunday February 12, police were called by the fire service after a fire broke out at the Church of Ascension in Salford, Manchester.
An investigation has been launched and officers are treating the incident as arson. It is believed that the offenders have forced entry to the building and started a fire before fleeing the scene.
Officers have released CCTV footage which shows a male, possibly, a teenage boy, leaving the scene around the time the fire broke out, believed to be around 11:00pm.
Detective Sergeant Karl Dalton, of GMP's Salford Borough, said: "We have a team of detectives investigating the circumstances surrounding this large-scale fire which has completely devastated a building at the heart of the community."
Fire in Oxford city centre
Oxfordshire County Council's Fire and Rescue service, South Central Ambulance Service and Thames Valley Police were called to a site on Feb 14 afternoon following reports of an explosion, a fire and the collapse of a property.
Two people were treated for minor injuries and one was taken to the John Radcliffe Hospital.
A number of properties were evacuated as a safety measure and residents were assisted with accommodation through Oxfordshire County Council's Emergency Planning and social care teams and Oxford City Council.

NIRA - an alli. . .
In a world of commercialisation where even courses and workshops for spiritual growth come at a price, NIRA holds a surprise. This multiversity in Mumbai does not believe in charging you money for its services, preferring instead to ask you for your 'time'.
NIRA was born when Dihenkar, an advocate and keen student of techniques to uplift human consciousness came in touch with other like-minded people, well established in their respective careers, but looking to make a difference in society. Today, besides Dihenkar, the NIRA team includes industrialist Rajendra Wadia, software professional Vijay Jaisingh, fashion designer Mridula Nair, homoeopath Dr Jasmine Keswani, techie Mayank Makwana, naturopath Dr Zarana Doshi, retired teacher Aruna Kothari, photographer, choreographer and web designer Pradeep Advirkar, and Swati Hadkar, a Reiki Grandmaster.
The result: an array of over 90 courses to enable seekers to come to grips with existential issues, covering living as well as dying, and imparting an understanding of aspects such as health, relationships, power, money, knowledge, love, understanding, expression, creativity, determination, will and the Higher Self.
The organisation holds frequent two- to three-day basic or five-, seven- or 10-day advanced residential seminars. "There are no course fees, though after completion, we do appeal to participants to donate in any way they can. Any donations, in cash or kind, even some skill or seva, are welcome as they help us continue to run the show," explains Mayank.
The rationale behind keeping the courses almost completely free? "In return for the quality it brings in their lives, we want something of value from the participants. For many, especially in Mumbai, money is easy to spare, but time, being so precious, is what we demand. Our courses start at six in the morning, and run over the weekend. Just the willingness to devote this time is the first step of their commitment to uplift themselves," says Dihenkar, adding that strict discipline is demanded. Late-comers are not entertained and talking during sessions is forbidden. "It is for your own benefit as real freedom can be enjoyed only if there is discipline," he adds paternally.
Adds Mayank, "By increasing our efficiency, NIRA actually helps us in our own respective fields." But surely volunteering for NIRA would entail some sacrifice to their professional life? "Actually, it isn't one profession any longer," feels Dr Zarana. "Involvement in NIRA means that we actually have more then one profession now." Dr Jasmine reveals that the two in fact support each other. And Dihenkar reveals how the feeling of freshness and vitality he experiences, even after a gruelling course session, is a rare gift of his involvement with NIRA.
NIRA's basic two-day workshop, which I attended, is called Awareness Reiki Camp (ARC). Held on weekends from 6 a.m to 6.p.m, it is open to all people older than 15. Candidates are enrolled for the workshop after interviews, following a brief introductory session.
Basic instructions were followed by dynamic meditation to encourage us to let go. Silence is crucial; any questions have to be written on paper and are answered by the instructor only after each meditation. A small break around 11.30 a.m for the special NIRA lime drink and biscuits was followed by lunch at 1.30. We learnt to eat with awareness, relishing the tasty food.
Post-lunch, we did Reiki meditation. The next day began with the cathartic effects of dynamic meditation along with loud music. The laughing, crying, gibberish and silence meditations that followed were unique.
Under disciplined silence, the participant undergoes various cleansing processes through meditation, body purification exercises, body-mind relaxation techniques, stress and time management, food awareness and diet control training, self-healing, and mind control. Learning to view everyday routine as meditation, a special flexibility graces the seeker, enabling him to adapt to new situations and handle circumstances and conditions.
The specially prepared food free of spices and stimulants, is just one part of an approach towards eating that redefines our re-lationship with food. Follow-up sessions are held and when ready, participants move on to advanced courses. Doing the course made me more positive; I felt as if someone had cleansed my mind and heart. I repeated the workshop twice when I was feeling low and stressed-out, and I was impressed enough to donate some clothes and books.
ARC apart, there are over 60 semi-residential and residential transformative courses in the NIRA curriculum. These include Sanskar – a one-day workshop for children aged 7 to 14 years; Diksha – a two-day youth special workshop; Mukti –a two-day workshop for women; Manthan – a two-day workshop for senior citizens; Healthy Healing – a basic 2/3-day seminar; Quantum Healing – on healing; Niryoga – on Yoga and Jivan Lakshya – exclusively for the explorers of life.
Everything can't be just 'taught' to children; experiences need to be impressed into their mind, which in turn help design their lives. During the Bal Sanskar workshop, 'impressions' are offered to the child, aimed at transformation by shaping his vibrant energies into appropriate form and direction. Recently this value-building workshop was held for the children of the staff of L&T.
Mukti imparts training to women on the art of relating, cooking, parenting, self-expression, self-control, confidence, and how to lead a harmonious and independent life.
Workshops apart, NIRA is involved in many other service activities. These include providing resources to the poor and handicapped to make them independent, organising medical aid for needy patients, holding free food camps for slum children, providing computer education to women at concessional rates to make them independent and self- reliant, holding medical camps for senior citizens and organising de-addiction camps. NIRA is also involved in releasing birds and animals from slaughterhouses, collecting and redistribution of clothing for the needy, nursing mentally undeveloped persons, training women in preparing satvic food and receiving donations in cash or kind to meet needs for conducting these activities.
Many charitable trusts such as Giants International, Lions Club, Rotary Club, schools, colleges, and mandals, have provided free space and facilities for conducting various courses.
Popular film star and MP, Govinda has assured support for the Meditation Camp and seminar organised by them. After almost eight years of holding workshops at donated locations, NIRA also intends to construct a permanent structure to be their main operating centre.
Basic courses like the ARC are regularly held every month.

Welcome to the Disney Parks Moms Panel! Sailing out of New York City past the stunning skyline and Lady Liberty was one of many highlights from the Disney Magic cruise I took a few years ago. And what was even better was waking up early the last morning to be up on deck to watch the captain navigate the ship back into port with the skyscrapers all lit up and the sunrise in the distance. It was just breathtaking!
Even if the weather is chilly on your sailing, the pools, slides and hot tubs will be open! The water is heated once the outside temperature drops below 75 degrees. My kids never to seem to let the outside temperature bother them; they may just need a few extra towels to wrap up afterwards!
There are lots of experiences to enjoy on a Disney Cruise especially in the fall because of the themed Halloween on the High Seas sailings. Spooktacular fun such as trick-or-treating, crafts, parties have been offered in the past and that's not all! There are also first-run movies, Broadway-style shows, games shows, variety acts, Pirate Night festivities and the incredible youth programming just to name a few. Disney Cruise Line has also announced an opportunity to enjoy a special themed Marvel Day at Sea on select New York sailings in 2017, which sounds like a unique experience for any super hero fans onboard.
Amanda, thank you for sailing by with your question! Please let us know if we can help you further with your cruise plans.

Canada|Canada Approves Expansion of Controversial Trans Mountain Pipeline
Canada Approves Expansion of Controversial Trans Mountain Pipeline

By Ian Austen
OTTAWA — Canada will move forward with a pipeline project that has set the country's provinces against one another, opened rifts among its Indigenous communities and prompted major protests.
The project — which will expand the Trans Mountain pipeline that links Alberta's oil sands to British Columbia — is a critical component of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's longstanding position that Canada needs to maintain a strong energy industry to support its efforts to combat climate change. His government bought the pipeline from its American owners a year ago to ensure its expansion.
"We are a government that cares deeply about the environment, and we care just as deeply about the economic success of Canadians," Mr. Trudeau said at a news conference in Ottawa, announcing his cabinet's approval of the expansion. "This isn't an either-or proposition."
"It is in Canada's national interest to protect our environment and invest in tomorrow," he added, "while making sure people can feed their families today."
Mr. Trudeau said construction will begin this summer on the expansion, which by some estimates will cost 9.3 billion Canadian dollars, or $6.95 billion.
With Trans Mountain, Mr. Trudeau has found himself trapped in the middle of an issue that has provoked heated rhetoric on both sides, divided Canada's two westernmost provinces and exposed a rift in the country's Indigenous communities. It is also likely to become a flash point in the upcoming national elections, in October.
Some Indigenous groups and environmentalists swiftly condemned the decision.
"They're going to push it through but we will do everything it takes to stop it," said Will George, a member of the Tsleil-Waututh Nation, which claims the land around the pipeline terminal. He is also a leader of Protect the Inlet, a group opposing the project.

The group, which planned to hold a protest in Vancouver on Tuesday night, will join with others, he said, "to block highways, to block railroads." A pro-pipeline protest of about 60 people took place Tuesday afternoon in Vancouver.
Mr. Trudeau acknowledged the dissent.
"There are people who will not be convinced by the arguments we put forward and we accept that," he said.
At the same time, Mr. Trudeau is unlikely to get credit from the pipeline's proponents in Alberta.
"He's really in a tough spot," said Lori Turnbull, a professor of political science at Dalhousie University in Halifax, Nova Scotia, before the official announcement. "Trudeau can't claim a victory out of this no matter what he does."

The government will put profits it earns from the operation of the pipeline, as well its eventual sale, back into alternative energy programs, Mr. Trudeau said, adding that the government is open to selling stakes in the project to Indigenous groups.
Alberta's landlocked oil industry has been repeatedly thwarted in its quest for additional pipelines. At the news conference, Mr. Trudeau noted that after a decade, the previous Conservative government "built exactly zero pipelines to new markets, but they did manage to build one thing: extreme animosity between those who want pipelines, and those who don't."
The Keystone XL project that would link Alberta's oil sands to the Gulf Coast of the United States has faced strong opposition from environmentalists and some landowners, leaving it mired in litigation. A pipeline to Eastern Canada was abandoned by its proponents, and Mr. Trudeau did not approve a new pipeline that would have run through Northern British Columbia after resistance from Indigenous groups; its route had also effectively caused its proponents to abandon it.
Squeezed for capacity, the oil industry has increasingly turned to trains to ship its products from the oil sands, a method that is both costly and potentially dangerous because of the risk of derailments. The industry in Alberta also argues that it is forced to sell its product at a discount because of the transportation issues.
The Canadian Association of Petroleum Producers claims that the discount costs the country's economy 80 million Canadian dollars a day, or nearly $60 million, although not all economists agree with that estimate.

Mr. Trudeau agreed to back an expanded Trans Mountain in exchange for a promise from Rachel Notley, Alberta's New Democratic Party premier at the time, to introduce carbon taxes.
But Ms. Notley's support of the expansion created a dispute between Alberta and British Columbia, where opponents included environmentalists who want to limit the oil sands, as well as some Indigenous communities that have both environmental concerns and territorial claims. Other opponents are worried about increased tanker traffic and a potential marine disaster.
The two provinces clashed and, at one point, Ms. Notley banned imports of wine from British Columbia and threatened to cut off oil and gas shipments to the province.
After the Canadian government bought out the American partner in the pipeline project, it found itself in litigation.
Canada's Federal Court of Appeal found that the government had not sufficiently consulted Indigenous communities along the route and ordered a more extensive review of the potential effects on marine life because of increased tanker traffic.
Mr. Trudeau said the government will put in place a variety of programs to address concerns raised in those Indigenous consultations, including better protections for salmon fisheries. He also said the decision to proceed does not mean an end to discussions.
Several Indigenous groups, however, remain unsatisfied and Mr. Trudeau acknowledged that along with environmental groups, they are expected to continue making legal challenges.
But the pipeline is supported by several Indigenous communities in British Columbia's interior and in Alberta.

Not only have their leaders welcomed the prospect of jobs during the construction period, at least two groups of Indigenous communities were working on plans to buy some or all of the pipeline from the federal government before Tuesday's announcement.
Pipes have already been stockpiled at points along the Trans Mountain route. While some local permits still need to be obtained, that process cannot be used to block the project.
Influencing the government's decision, Mr. Trudeau said, was the prospect that the expanded pipeline can open up new markets for Canada's oil, which is now overwhelmingly exported to the United States.
But there is no assurance that a bigger terminal for ships and more oil moving through the pipe will actually inspire buyers in Asia, and China in particular, to look more toward Canada for their needs. Trans Mountain has not announced any major contracts with Asian companies, and of the four tankers that have loaded at Trans Mountain's terminal this year, only one headed to China.
Andrew Scheer, the leader of the Conservative opposition, said Mr. Trudeau's announcement does not mean the pipeline will actually get underway.
"Show me the pipeline," Mr. Scheer said. "He failed to tell Canadians on what date construction will actually start."
Mr. Trudeau predicted that the question of balancing the environment and the economy will be a major issue when Canadians vote in October. But Professor Turnbull said handling it will be one of the prime minister's most delicate campaign tasks.
"There's been a series of events that are not under the government's control," she said. "There's a sense the government has lost control over this file."

UN STAFF KILLED – NZ TO THE RESCUE: Four refugee workers in West Timor were hacked to death by pro-Jakarta militia members. 43 more were rescued by Kiwi helicopters. Two trips were made to the base to pick up the evacuees. The operation took two hours and went according to plane. The mission relied heavily on the Indonesian army. Rodblocks were established by TNI around the perimeter and soldiers were also on guard within the perimeter of the landing zone. Mark Burton says NZ is delighted to be able to make a difference. The violence has sparked calls to Jakarta to stop the talking and start acting to prevent this from happening again. There are 90 UN workers still at Atambua.

Annan was followed by Bill Clinton who's message to Wahid was unmistakeable. For Wahid the killings are a major embarassment. Clark says that Wahid is sharp and that her message to him was too. The UN Human Rights Commissioner also said words were not enough and that action was needed. Wahid later said two of his battalions were en-route to East Timor. Clark paid tribute to NZ's rescuers in her speech to the UN. Clark says she has no plans to pull out. The US President is furious and the American Nation is focussed on this because

Sandra Ferger (* 14. August 1991 in Remscheid) ist eine deutsche Volleyball- und Beachvolleyballspielerin. In der Halle ist sie in der Zweiten Liga aktiv. Im Beachvolleyball spielt sie seit 2014 auf der höchsten nationalen Turnierserie.

Karriere Halle
Ferger begann ihre Karriere 2002 in ihrer Heimatstadt beim Remscheider TV. Im Alter von vierzehn Jahren kam sie aus der Jugend in die erste Mannschaft, die in der Landesliga spielte. In der Saison 2009/10 trat sie mit SV Bayer Wuppertal in der Oberliga an. Bei der SG Langenfeld war die universell einsetzbare Spielerin in der folgenden Saison in der Regionalliga aktiv.

2011 wechselte Ferger zum Bundesligisten Bayer 04 Leverkusen. In der Saison 2013/14 spielte sie mit Leverkusen in der Zweiten Liga Nord. 2014 kehrte sie zurück nach Langenfeld, wo sie eine Saison in der Dritten Liga West spielte und sich parallel auf Beachvolleyball vorbereitete. 2015 wechselte sie zum Regionalligisten VC Allbau Essen. Mit dem Verein stieg sie 2016 als Meister der Regionalliga West in die Dritte Liga West und 2017 in die 2. Bundesliga Nord auf. Nach dem Abstieg in die Dritte Liga 2018 gelang ihr mit Essen 2019 der sofortige Wiederaufstieg. Auch in der Saison 2020/21 spielte sie weiterhin für Essen.

Karriere Beach

Ferger spielte ihre ersten nationalen Beachvolleyball-Turniere 2012 mit Lisa Schreiner. Ab 2013 trat sie mit Laura Walsh an. Im folgenden Jahr war sie erstmals auf der Smart Beach Tour aktiv, kam jedoch noch nicht über die Qualifikation hinaus. 2015 gelangte sie mit Melanie Preußer in Nürnberg zum ersten Mal ins Hauptfeld und wurde Siebte. 2016 belegte sie mit Constanze Bieneck in Münster und mit Stefanie Klatt in Dresden jeweils auf den 13. Platz. Weitere Turniere der Smart Beach Tour absolvierte sie in dem Jahr mit Anne Matthes, wobei der neunte Rang in Duisburg das beste Ergebnis war.

2017 bildete Ferger ein Duo mit Sarah Schneider. Ferger/Schneider gelangen zahlreiche Top-Ten-Ergebnisse auf der Tour, darunter ein dritter Rang in Nürnberg sowie vierte Plätze in Nürnberg und Hamburg. Mit den Ergebnissen qualifizierten sie sich für die deutsche Meisterschaft 2017, bei der sie in der ersten Runde gegen Borger/Kozuch ausschieden.

Seit 2018 bildet sie ein Duo mit Christine Aulenbrock. Aulenbrock/Ferger kamen auf der Techniker Beach Tour immer in die Top Ten und erreichten als bestes Ergebnis einen vierten Platz in Sankt Peter-Ording. Bei der deutschen Meisterschaft schieden sie im Achtelfinale aus und wurden Neunte. Auf der Techniker Beach Tour 2019 gewannen sie das Turnier in Nürnberg und wurden immer mindestens Neunte. Die deutsche Meisterschaft 2019 endete für sie jedoch schon in der Gruppenphase.

2020 spielte Aulenbrock in der Beach-Liga zwei Tage lang als Ersatzspielerin mit Kim Behrens. Bei der Comdirect Beach Tour 2020 qualifizierten sich Aulenbrock/Ferger gleich beim ersten Turnier in Düsseldorf für die deutsche Meisterschaft und spielten anschließend beim Top-Teams-Turnier mit. Im DM-Achtelfinale schieden sie gegen Borger/Sude aus. Bei der ersten Ausgabe der German Beach Trophy kamen sie im Januar/Februar 2021 als Hauptrunden-Dritte ins Endspiel, das sie gegen die Österreicherinnen Nadine und Teresa Strauss verloren. Im März traten sie auch bei der zweiten Ausgabe der German Beach Trophy an. Anfang September erreichten sie bei der deutschen Meisterschaft den vierten Platz. Auf der German Beach Tour 2022 gewannen Aulenbrock/Ferger nach zwei fünften Plätzen in Düsseldorf das Turnier in München. Bei der deutschen Meisterschaft wurden sie erneut Vierte.

PAVILION OF LIGHT BANDSTAND AT FITZGERALD'S PARK ON THE MARDYKE
August 15, 2021 by Infomatique
"The redevelopment of Fitzgerald's Park has created a state-of-the-art public facility in the heart of the city. The thoughtful re-imagining of the space, driven by the relocation of the bandstand to the front lawn, was integral to the success of the scheme and of reinventing the park. The Pavilion is now a modern landmark, conjuring memories of the grand bandstand of the international exhibition held at the site in 1902. Its success has acted as a catalyst for community engagement and has facilitated a range of events enjoyed by locals and tourists alike. As an icon of collective memory, it forms the heart of a wider community, designed to serve diverse ages and interests. It is a wonderful facility, whose flexibility of use will attract visitors from near and far for years to come as the park evolves and grows."

Fitzgerald's Park or, if you prefer, Fitzgerald Park is a public park in Cork city and the location of the Cork Public Museum.The park is located on the Mardyke and is a short distance from Cork city centre and University College Cork.
The park was originally the site of the 1902 Cork International Exhibition, a world's fair showcasing the city's economy. After the exhibition the grounds were converted into a public park, with a large pond and fountain as the main focus. The park was named for Edward Fitzgerald, the then incumbent Lord Mayor of Cork and proposer of the Cork International Exhibition.
The park is approximately 12 acres in size and contains a pond, the Cork Public Museum, sculpture trail, bandstand, a café and a large children's play area. The area of the park is joined to Sunday's Well across the River Lee by Daly's bridge (a pedestrian suspension bridge known locally as the "Shakey Bridge").

Full On Oregon: Fishing & Crabbing In Astoria
October 6, 2011	 Eats / Travel
**I was in the midst of editing the images for this post yesterday when I learned that Steve Jobs passed away. I considered postponing the post out of respect, and also out of a strange heaviness of heart for someone I've never met. And then I realized that sticking to my plan would actually be the best way to honor the memory of such a talented and driven individual, one who never settled and always strove to be better. He will always be an inspiration.**
Portland's airport is just like any other you'd find in America. Travellators take you from one gate to the other, there are the security screeners, Starbucks, Hudson's News and the floors are carpeted in glaring colors and dizzying patterns. The entry into the city, however, is special. Crossing the Willamette River from the 84, the crest of the bridge breaks to present a city neatly tucked beneath hills of pine trees, a view so charming it takes your breath away. No gleaming skyscrapers or rolling plains here. And that's when you know that Portland's not your average American city. Its picturesque entrance is a prelude of the experience to come.
On that Full On Oregon weekend I was invited to, I had just enough time upon arrival to drop off my suitcase and grab my daypack before joining Nick, Liz and Stefanie on our roadtrip to Astoria, where we'd spend the next day crabbing and fishing on the Columbia River. The small town at the border with Washington state was the first European settlement on the West Coast, as well as the setting for movies like The Goonies, Stand By Me and Kindergarten Cop.
An hour and a half later, we were marvelling at the sweeping views of Washington and the Columbia River from the lobby of the Cannery Pier Hotel, an activity that continued when we got to our rooms. Built on the site of the former Union Fish Cannery, 600 feet into the river, the rooms look out on the Columbia River and the Washington-Oregon bridge. Mornings bring fog and the impressive sight of a giant ship passing right in front of your window. Evenings bring golden sunsets and seagulls flying overhead. I didn't want to leave.
We were ferried in a 1945 Cadillac for our Brewers' Dinner at the Fort George Brewery that evening, located at the original settlement site of Astoria founded in March 1811 by Captain Jonathon Thorn. The Fort George building was built in 1924 to house an automotive repair facility until it was abandoned in the 1990s. It underwent a massive renovation in 2005 and currently houses the brewery and the Blue Scorcher Bakery.
Chris Nemlowill started the brewery in 2007, with friend and fellow brewer Jack Harris and six brewing vessels that were trucked to Astoria from a defunct brewery on the East Coast. After encountering and surviving a tornado in Nebraska, they named their first IPA the Vortex, as "an effort to capture some of Nature's intensity in every pint". As a reflection of their immense popularity and growth, the brewery recently expanded their brewing operations with the purchase of a 30,000 square foot brewhouse adjoining the pub where they'll be able to can their craft beers.
Our dinner that evening was a four-course affair, expertly crafted by resident chef Dana MacAuley who brought his French culinary training to bear on local ingredients. We began with Ahi Tuna with Wild Rice and Tomato Concasse, an outstanding course; the soft crunch of buttered wild rice providing just the right complement for flaky, just-seared tuna. This was followed by Boneless Chicken Thighs stuffed with Dates and Caramelized Onions, served with wilted spinach and housemade garlic sausage dumplings. The Housemade Jalapeno Sausage with Roasted Bell Pepper Gnocchi was a delight if not a little rich by the time we got to it, and the Coffee pot de creme to round out dinner was the icing on the cake. Thick enough to be creamy, it had enough coffee to hint at without the heavy tones of coffee liqeur. As he came out to tell us about each course, it was clear that Dana was more comfortable behind the scenes than in front of his audience. He had the air of a shy choir boy, piping up only when Chris prompted him to. It was an unassuming demeanour, one coming from a place of quiet satisfaction and pride, but not feeling the need to pipe up about it.

The next morning, after delicious pastries and coffee, we headed for the dock where our guide David Johnson was in the midst of preparing the crab traps that we'd set before heading out to fish. Greeting us were chunks of raw tuna, salmon, sardines and two whole chickens to be placed across six traps. It certainly wasn't the most appetizing sight first thing in the morning, but there was dinner to catch and there was no room for queasiness. Ok, maybe just a bit.
The boat was rather quiet and somber as we headed out into the dense fog. It was cold and grey, hardly the hot sunny day we had expected considering the stratospheric temperatures forecasted for that weekend. After casting out the crab traps at various spots, we settled at our first fishing stop, and waited.
After 30 minutes David navigated us to another spot just past the Oregon Coast Highway. By that time, the sun had come out, layers came off, we cast our lines and settled in to enjoy the warmth.
All of a sudden, Greg our Travel Oregon chaperone yelled with a spine-chilling intensity: "FISH!!!!!!! FISH FISH FISH FISHHHHHH!!!!!" As Nick's line flopped up and down, David sprung into action, preparing his net while instructing Nick on what to do. Greg reeled in the rest of the lines so that the fish wouldn't get tangled in them and the rest of us scrambled around figuring out where to stand and what to do.
To regulate and ensure a sustainable population of salmon in its rivers, the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife spawn salmon in hatcheries every year. The adipose fins (the small fleshy fin between the dorsal fin and the fish's tail) of these fish are clipped before they are released into the wild, in order to enable sport fisherman to distinguish between catchable and protected fish.
Our catch was a 12-pound silver salmon that had its tiny little fin intact, and so had to be returned to the water. But not before some photo opportunities.
After the excitement died down it was time for lunch, and to call it a day. We headed back to pick up our crab pots, hauling them up like real fishermen. Not. These traps are HEAVY! Especially when loaded up with Dungeness crabs!
Once on the boat, there was sorting to be done – any female crab or male crabs measuring less than 5¾ inches at their widest point had to be returned to the water. All told we got about 24 crabs, not bad for a few hours' work of converting two chickens, tuna and salmon roe into dungeness crabs.

Back in Portland, there was just enough time to chill before joining the rest of the Full On Oregon crew for a burger dinner catered by Gregory Denton (Metrovino) and Chris Carriker (The Gilt Club) on the rooftop of the Wieden+Kennedy building in downtown Portland. Serving up beverages were a host of six breweries from Eastern Oregon like the Mt Emily Ale House and the Mutiny Brewing Company. Not much of a beer-drinker myself, I stayed hydrated with the iced teas from Steven Smith.

Complementing the burgers was a buffet of dishes featuring gnocchi with guanciale and tomatoes, a green salad and a crab salad drenched in a puckery lemon-mayonnaise dressing with herbs, radish and hints of pickles. I don't need to tell you my favorite dish of the feast we had. I could have imagined things, but I'm pretty sure I detected a quiet pride in our fishing group as we tucked into dinner that evening. Although we returned without a salmon in the cooler, the crabs were no less delicious, and we had our stories to add to the tapestry of experiences that weekend. That was rewarding in itself.
**Disclosure: I wasn't paid for the trip, but my meals, accommodation and transport for the weekend were covered by Travel Oregon. Also, look out for part two of the weekend coming up….soonish. Once I wade through the other 500 images, that is.**

CMU arts management experts talk about the future of the art world
By Scott Barsotti
You walk into an art gallery and see an image projected on a bare wall. But the image is not what it appears to be.
In fact, the image constantly changes…or evolves. What looks like a goldfish one moment looks like a cuttlefish the next, then a lobster, then a narwhal, then a turtle. A second projection on another wall appears at first to be a lighthouse, then a telephone pole, then a tree, then an iceberg. The piece makes you think about the slipperiness of categorization, that our brains can quickly assign new meaning to seemingly small variations of visual information, and that all things are constantly in a state of change.
You notice that nearby, people are gesturing over and around a pedestal. There's a small sensor on top, and the gestures, somehow, cause the changes in the projection. Interaction alters the piece, sometimes drastically. You hang back and watch as others take turns being the agent of change, marveling at the fact that this relatively simple interactive artwork is powered by machine learning.
The above is a description of XOROMANCY, an installation by Carnegie Mellon University students Gray Crawford (A 2017, 2019) and Aman Tiwari (A 2019), which they called "the exploration of a near-infinite space of pseudo-real images." The student artists trained a neural network on millions of photographs, which would then generate images based on input from observers.
AI in art is not coming. It's here. AI has been used to create paintings, music, literature and poetry to name a few disciplines. The use of algorithms in the creation of artwork raises some tricky questions in the art world, possibly creating new grey areas in ownership and intellectual property.
"The person who creates an algorithm owns the algorithm. If the algorithm is critical to the creation of the art — and the artist is a separate person — there's shared ownership that needs to be figured out," said Brett Ashley Crawford, professor of arts management and director of the Arts Management and Technology Laboratory (AMT Lab) at CMU.
Crawford notes that in visual art, ownership is typically transferred upon sale, whereas in music and performing arts there's often a licensing agreement or a transfer of rights rather than ownership. If an algorithm is used to create music, and then that music is streamed on Spotify, the resulting payment structures may be quite complex. Similarly, if the images, music, or data used to train an algorithm is not fully in the public domain or open source, that could complicate things even further.
"We're still in the first generation of artists working in these spaces," said Crawford. "In many cases people are learning as they go to market. Sometimes, they're learning the hard way because ownership hasn't been properly determined. There aren't best practices or public policies yet."

But as technology continues to progress, machines will play a greater collaborative role with artists, just as they will with so many other professionals. We can expect to see more and more art that is fully generated by AI as well as artists using AI as a tool in their artistic pursuits. Nowhere else is that more apparent than here at CMU, where AI is influencing both artistic processes and arts management education.
"AI-powered art is permeating across the university," said Kathryn Heidemann (HNZ 2004), alumna of CMU's Master of Arts Management (MAM) program and former Assistant Dean of Heinz College and the College of Fine Arts. "CMU is expanding coursework in this space, with some exciting partnerships on the horizon." Heidemann directed the MAM program from 2011-2019, and is now chief academic officer and dean of faculty at the Cleveland Institute of Art.
New York Live Arts partnered with CMU and the MAM program on its 2019 Live Ideas festival — "AI: Are You Brave Enough for The Brave New World?" Other initiatives at CMU include gallery shows, symposia, "Art and Machine Learning" classes, and multiple cross-disciplinary collaborations.
Carnegie Mellon students, faculty and alumni already have an impressive track record exploring the edges of arts, design and technology, establishing CMU as a leader in this space.
Daniel Fonner, who graduated with a master's of arts management degree in 2016, uses deep learning to recreate paintings stolen, lost or destroyed by fascist regimes.
A Technological Future For Artists and Arts Managers Alike
When we talk about robots replacing or disrupting the human workforce across industries, we usually temper it with the assurance that some skills are fundamentally human and not automatable. Economists suggest that future jobs will require more empathy and creativity from humans, as these are not qualities easily replicated by machines.
Is that true for art and artists, though? Crawford says the truth is more complicated than that.
"Many artists are going to have to either work with coders or learn to code," she said, adding that art schools will need to follow suit by breaking down departmental siloes and becoming more multidisciplinary. "For arts managers, these developments actually provide job security. The relationship between artwork and the audience can't be automated. Connecting the art to the audience still requires human beings, and that's what we do in the MAM program."
Heidemann says the broader arts community is starting to pay attention to how AI can be used as a tool for audience engagement, audience development, and patron management.
"MAM students are taught to feel comfortable and confident with analytics and technology, including AI tools. They don't have to be techies to use these things," said Heidemann. "The MAM curriculum addresses technological disruption across multidisciplinary arts. Rather than breaking out visual arts and performing arts as separate, CMU brings those sides together and look at how technology is changing things and creating opportunities across disciplines."
Crawford adds that there's a general misconception among arts organizations that AI and technological tools are prohibitively expensive or would require a staff of IT specialists to understand and implement.
"There are many AI opportunities that are low-hanging fruit for arts organizations. Our graduates can walk in and amaze people with what they can do," said Crawford.
Crawford says her students learn to use a new technology in every class, from project management tools and open source GIS tools to creating a chatbot.
"You have to plan for the future. Is AI here to stay? Absolutely. Part of effective training for arts managers now is to understand where you have an appropriate use for AI [or any technology]." Brett Ashley Crawford
"That's why technological knowledge is not siloed into a single class or set of classes here. It's spread across our entire curriculum."

"I didn't feel like a human in there" Immigration detention in Canada and its impact on mental health
HRW
2021 12:00 AM
Security Theme
Human Rights, protection of life for all individuals, proper prison conditions, fair treatment from law enforcement, right to liberty and security, right to asylum, access to healthcare, fair treatment, fair access to public resources, seperation of families
Despite its reputation as a refugee-welcoming and multicultural country, Canada incarcerates thousands of people on immigration-related grounds every year, including people who are fleeing persecution, those seeking employment and a better life, and people who have lived in Canada since childhood. Immigration detainees are held for noncriminal purposes but endure some of the most restrictive conditions of confinement in the country, including maximum security jails and solitary confinement, with no set release date. Figures from the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) reveal that the number of immigration detainees incarcerated in Canada has increased every fiscal year between 2016-17 and 2019-20, peaking in fiscal year 2019-20 with a total of 8,825 people in immigration detention. Since the onset of the Covid-19 pandemic in March 2020, Canadian authorities have released immigration detainees at unprecedented rates, providing clear evidence that there are viable alternatives to depriving people of their liberty for indeterminate periods of time. For many of those who remained incarcerated, conditions of detention became harsher, with far more frequent lockdowns and limited access to phones and showers. During the first year of the pandemic, immigration detainees went on hunger strike three times at the Montreal-area immigration holding center.

Outcome after injury-a systematic literature search of studies using the EQ-5D.
Derrett, Sarah; Black, James; Herbison, G Peter; (2009) Outcome after injury-a systematic literature search of studies using the EQ-5D. The Journal of trauma, 67 (4). pp. 883-890. ISSN 0022-5282 DOI: https://doi.org/10.1097/TA.0b013e3181ae6409
https://doi.org/10.1097/TA.0b013e3181ae6409
PURPOSE: Information is required about recovery after injury, including general health measures such as the EQ-5D. This project aimed to: (1) search for studies of injury outcome using the EQ-5D, (2) describe EQ-5D administration and analysis, (3) summarize reliability and validity, and (4) report EQ-5D outcomes. METHODS: A systematic search was undertaken for publications (January 1990 to May 2008). Studies were excluded if the EQ-5D was not used or if injury was a secondary outcome or resulted from a degenerative condition. RESULTS: Of 79 potentially eligible articles retrieved, 35 were excluded and 44 remained. Sample sizes ranged between n = 14 and n = 3,231. Two thirds of studies described injury outcomes, the remainder focused on specific treatments after injury. Of studies reporting EQ-5D index scores, most used the UK value set, and 29% did not specify a value set. In 16 studies, the EQ-5D was self-completed by participants, and in others, administration was by interviewer, proxy, or unspecified. Time of administration varied between 6 days and 7 years after injury. The absence of a cognitive dimension in the EQ-5D was a concern. DISCUSSION: Given the global impact of injury-related disability, our search supports calls for comprehensive population-level research exploring outcomes. Many studies considered only specific treatments after injury, had small sample sizes, or were undertaken in wealthy countries. Although noting reservations about the EQ-5D, such as the absence of a cognitive dimension; the EQ-SD being freely available to nonprofit-making organizations, and with many language versions available, seems suitable for studies in wealthy and poorer nations alike.

Combining Plowman's, the Crack and the Mudslide makes for a day filled with swimming opportunities.
Particularly if it is hot, it is worth remembering that both the detour to Gudu Falls and Ploughman's Kop jacuzzi-style rock pools offer respite from the heat.
Follow the Gudu Bush route, hiking past Lookout Rock, across the Mai River to Gudu Bush (here one can veer off to the falls).
To continue without the detour take a left before entering the bush, up along the slope of Plowman's Kop above the Mahai River.
Continue up the valley from Gudu Bush until you reach a path that turns off to the Crack. Roughly 1.2 km. The Crack is literally a schism in the sandstone cliffs.
There is help over the difficult areas via a chain ladder. Once at the top head right towards the top of the Gudu Falls (Ploughman's Kop rock pools are up here). About 50 metres up, cross the Gudu River.
Head up Plowman's Kop. The views up here are fantastic and you might want to take a while. Come back by way of the Mudslide from the far corner of Plowman's Kop.
This gully is the only way down and isn't called mudslide for nothing. It is very steep and, when wet, can be slippery.
Some suggest climbing up with the Mudslide and descending with the Crack if you do fear heights.
Some might suggest climbing the Mudslide, however it is much easier to do the route with The Crack first.
At the bottom turn right for just short of a kilometre, and then left for an equal distance before crossing a stream. The path now heads left back to Mahai.

HumCo Jail Outbreak Infects at Least 15 People
Posted By Thadeus Greenson @ThadeusGreenson on Thu, Dec 16, 2021 at 3:02 PM
The Humboldt County jail.
At least nine inmates at the Humboldt County jail have tested positive for COVID-19 as the Sheriff's Office works to contain on outbreak.
Sheriff's Office spokesperson Samantha Karges said in an email to the Journal that the inmates — who all reside in the same housing unit — have been relocated to the jail's medical unit, where they will complete a mandatory two-week quarantine. The housing unit, meanwhile, has been placed under quarantine, with the other inmates undergoing daily testing, Karges said.
"Inmates in all other housing units of the facility have been tested and it appears the spread has been isolated to just the one housing unit at this time," Karges said.
News of the outbreak was first reported by Kym Kemp.
Six correctional officers have also tested positive for the virus and are undergoing mandatory quarantine, Karges said, adding that other staff are undergoing daily COVID testing "to ensure any additional positive cases are detected early." The officer quarantines will almost assuredly exasperate staffing issues in the jail, which has been short-staffed for at least the past year and a half, at times critically so.
While inmates and staff at the jail had previously tested positive for COVID-19, this is the facility's first significant outbreak since the pandemic's start. Throughout the state and nation, jails and prisons — like other congregate living settings — have the been seen intense clusters of COVID-19 cases, and the local jail implemented strict screening protocols early in the pandemic to try to keep the virus out of the facility.
It's unclear what percentage of jail staff and inmates have been fully vaccinated, which have been shown to help prevent infections, extreme disease and death. The Humboldt County Board of Supervisors considered mandating vaccinations for county employees in October, but instead decided to require unvaccinated employees to undergo weekly testing for the virus.
Karges said jail staff is currently working with Humboldt County Public Health to contain the current outbreak.
"The Humboldt County Correctional Facility has a set of pre-established COVID protocols for this very situation and the facility is taking all necessary precautions," Karges said. "Correctional staff continue to work with Public Health to identify COVID-19 exposure risk and mitigate any potential spread related to these most recent positive cases."
The Journal has requested additional information about the jail's testing protocols and the condition of those who have tested positive and will update this post as we get more information.

John Bowlby 25th Anniversary Event
Conference Review by Kate Brown
A Little Like Jazz…
Reflections on The Bowlby Centre Conference marking twenty five years since the death of John Bowlby. Held in London 19th -21st September 2016 at the Freud Museum, Institute of Child Health and The Anna Freud Centre in collaboration with the Bowlby Centre.
This international conference was organised to celebrate the work of John Bowlby, and focused on how John Bowlby revolutionized our understanding of human relationships. The conference was well attended by a broad spectrum of delegates, yet for some had something of the feeling of a family reunion. This sense of family reunion should not be considered an accident, since much of what was being discussed was about the theme of separation and reunion. Bob Marvin gave a masterful account of his use of the Circle of Security approach, showing videos of interactions of children moving away from their caregiver or attachment figure, and then how the pair responded upon reunion.
Throughout the conference there was use of video material of parent/child interaction including parent infant psychotherapy, from Amanda Jones and the use of the Strange Situation Test showed the spectrum of interactions and the differences between securely attached bonds, and those which are not. The focus of attention went from minute millisecond details, such as the sound of a heart-beat, or the tiny movements of milk formula in a baby's bottle – to the familial – and then to the wider political arena, including concern about the plight of migrants and the impact of Attachment theory on Government policies and mental health treatment. The conference was of interest to a broad range of psychotherapists or researchers at any stage of their career and had wide inter-disciplinary appeal.
The conference posed two central questions, Where is the revolution now? And What are the future directions? In terms of where the revolution is now, the conference gave little doubt that the revolution is gathering pace in terms of recognition of the far reaching impact of Attachment Theory on both the practice of psychotherapy and psychoanalysis and also on the wider arena of social policy. As Gill Scott Heron once said, "the revolution will not be televised" – but in the case of this particular revolution, was videoed, and made creative use of videoed materials.
In terms of what the future directions are, there was a clear stress on early interventions and how attachment theory can be applied to support building secure attachments in infancy – or even before birth. Susie Orbach helped us conceptualise this approach as being "two for one" – meaning that supporting mothers to understand their bodies better and offering an intervention which helps to resolve trauma held in the mother's body, can help reduce the likelihood of an infant developing attachment difficulties and subsequent need for intervention and the cost implications. There was also inclusion of consideration of the need for support for families who are formed through adoption to build secure attachments.
The conference had a creative, conversational style – including music composed with John Bowlby in mind. There could be no more fitting way to mark the occasion of twenty five years since the death of John Bowlby, and to honour the past, focus on the present and consider the future of Attachment Theory.

Attachment Theory How John Bowlby Revolutionised Our Understanding of Human Relationships
Where is the Revolution Now? What are the Future Directions?
19th – 20th September 2015
This conference brought together a group of leading international clinicians and researchers in dialogue to debate new developments in attachment theory and clinical practice. Exploring questions such as: How do such advances bring fresh ways of thinking about how we promote wellbeing in society and help and support individuals and families? These films from the conference provide a lively and engaging debate of issues of vital interest to all psychotherapists and others working in the helping professions.
John Bowlby revolutionised our understanding of human nature and the needs of children in particular for consistent, sensitive and attuned caregiving from a preferred attachment figure in order to develop emotional health and wellbeing. Attachment is linked to the human response to fear and is most clearly evident when there are threats of separation and abandonment. At these times we need a safe haven provided by an attachment figure from whom we seek safety, comfort and affect regulation. His groundbreaking theory and approach has been confirmed by decades of research and more recently by neuroscience. The need for parents to be securely attached is now widely accepted as the basis for effective child care in the next generation.
"Intimate attachments to other human beings are the hub around which a person's life revolves, not only when he is an infant or a toddler or a school- child but throughout his adolescence and his years of maturity as well, and on into old age." Bowlby (1980, p. 422)
The Conference was chaired by his son, Sir Richard Bowlby. Professor Brett Kahr introduces the historic context, and an exciting panel of leading international clinicians and researchers discuss and debate the latest developments.
Speakers included: Amanda Jones, Mary Target, Bob Marvin, Sandy Bloom, Mark Linington, Valerie Sinason, Allan Schore, Elizabeth Howell, Susie Orbach, Kate White, Christopher Clulow, Karl Heinz Brisch, Miriam Steele, Howard Steele, Oliver James, Simon Partridge, Judy Yellin and Lennox Thomas.

Video One – Length 45 mins
Part 1. Welcome and Introduction – Length 30 mins
Featuring Sir Richard Bowlby, Mark Linington and Professor Brett Kahr.
The first video shows the conference welcome from Sir Richard Bowlby and Mark Linington from The Bowlby Centre followed by a wonderful historical introduction to the theme of the conference by Professor Brett Kahr. He situates John Bowlby's work with children in the context of the previous century and demonstrates how revolutionary his ideas were, constituting a paradigm shift in the approach to troubled children. It is a "tour de force" by a brilliant lecturer. A riveting and startling beginning to a unique day of round table dialogues featured in the next six videos.
Arising from this stimulating historical introduction follows a look at attachment theory and its application across the lifecycle represented by each of the subsequent dialogues between internationally renowned clinicians and researchers which make up the seven films of this conference presented here.
Part 2. Parent and Infant Work – Length 15 Mins
Featuring Amanda Jones and Mary Target in dialogue. Chair: Robert Marvin
We start with childhood and the pioneering work being developed in the UK by Amanda Jones and Mary Target providing support for parents and their infants. They are in a conversation facilitated by Robert Marvin from Virginia, USA, who with colleagues has developed a wonderful intervention to support distressed parents called the Circle of Security Project. Their conversation focuses not only on the delicate work with parents and their children but on the support and supervision needs of the psychotherapists engaged in these emotionally challenging situations. They explore the difficulties parents encounter with their young babies when their own parents have been unsupportive, abusive or unattuned emotionally. These ghosts in the nursery (Selma Fraiberg) can undermine the development of secure attachment across the generations. Interventions such as those discussed provide very hopeful opportunities for those who have experienced trauma to be supported in the direction of change towards earned securityand so being able to provide a secure base for their young children.
Video Two – Length 50 mins
Attachment and Trauma
Featuring Mark Linington and Sandy Bloom in dialogue. Chair: Valerie Sinason
This film follows the moving dialogue between Mark Linington, a psychotherapist at The Bowlby Centre and Sandy Bloom, psychiatrist and founder of the Sanctuary Model, from Philadelphia, USA. Their conversation is facilitated by Valerie Sinason, founder of the Clinic for Dissociative Studies in London, UK.
Mark shares his work with one of his clients Sonia who has a history of multiple experiences of trauma. He demonstrates how an attachment informed way of working relationally provides an opportunity for therapeutic change. He uses very interesting diagrams to illustrate this painstaking and courageous journey. Sandy Bloom offers insights and elaborates on the discussion drawing upon her many years of clinical experience.
Video Three – Length 43 mins
Attachment and Neuroscience
Featuring Elizabeth Howell in dialogue with Valerie Sinason, with special contribution from Allan Schore
This thought provoking dialogue between Elizabeth Howell and Valerie Sinason includes a pre recorded interview with Allan Schore, the foremost attachment informed clinician in the USA who is researching the neurobiological links with the development of early attachment relationships and how an understanding of these dynamics informs our work with adults. Elizabeth Howell, an eminent scholar and clinician from New York, opens out the conversation adding her clarity and understanding of the neurobiology of dissociation with Valerie Sinason, founder of the Clinic for Dissociative Studies in London, UK. Together they offer an in depth account of the links between post traumatic stress and the complexity of different kinds of dissociative responses to overwhelming trauma.
Video Four – Length 44 mins
Attachment and The Body
Featuring a dialogue between Susie Orbach and Kate White. Chair: Mark Linington
This film records a engaging conversation between Susie Orbach and Kate White facilitated by Mark Linington from The Bowlby Centre. They tease out the complexity of the relationship between the development of an infant's attachment bond and the central place of the body of both parent and child in this delicate unfolding process that can, in fraught circumstances, become derailed. Attachment patterns and their relationship to our experience of our bodies are explored.
Susie describes the development of an interview called the bodiography, using the BODI tool (Body Observational Diagnostic Interview), at the beginning of therapy.
Kate and Susie go on to discuss the key role of support to young parents who themselves may never have had a secure attachment relationship thus find it difficult to feel at home in their own bodies. The provision of maternal support, in particular in the prenatal period, through a project such as "Two for the Price of One: The impact of body image during pregnancy and after birth", is described. This UK research is ongoing and is based on identifying women with a troubled relationship with their bodies during pregnancy and perinatally so as to offer support/intervention in prevention of intergenerational transmission of troubled bodies.
Finally, through an account of her clinical work, Kate discusses with Susie the way in which a sensitivity to these issues is vital in therapeutic relationships where the body of both therapist and client impact upon one another as the client risks finding her body through her relationship with the therapist's own body.
Video Five – Length 39 mins/h3>
Featuring Karl Heinz Brisch and Miriam Steele in dialogue. Chair: Christopher Clulow
Christopher Clulow took the imaginative decision to invite the audience to set the agenda for the round table discussion between Karl Heinz Brisch from Munich, Germany and Miriam Steele, who is now based in New York City.
He asked people to identify questions and themes for the trio to discuss together after an emotionally resonant reading from DH Lawrence where the voice of a young child describes most poetically her experience of being in a family. The themes included the following: What is the role of grandparents and the experience of the three generation family in 2015? Who IS family? The complexity of families where there are many configurations for example the re configuring of family relationships post divorce with remarriages. Changes brought about through the acquisition of family through adoption and fostering, in vitro fertilisation. There was lively discussion about inclusion of children with learning disabilities, the use of the Baby Watching programme and another specialised intervention being pioneered in New York to support families where the socioeconomic stressors on young parents are being recognised in the political context of austerity and cuts to social spending.
Video Six – Length 46 mins
Research Developments & Future Directions
Howard Steele in conversation with Oliver James Chair: Jeremy Holmes
Jeremy Holmes chaired a discussion on future directions for attachment theory, with Oliver James and Howard Steele.
Oliver's presentation focuses on the argument of nature (our genetic endowment) versus nurture in what determines our emotional wellbeing. He points to the lack of scientific evidence for genetic determinants; for him early maltreatment leads to distressed adults. He proposes that the future lies in creating an early environment in which care is "accessible and responsive" for under threes. He rejects "day care" as the solution and pleads for more resources for primary carers, whether men or women. He sees no sign of this in "selfish, capitalist Anglophone nations".
Howard picked up on Bowlby's championing of children's need for "more or less continuing relationships…with an enduring sense of joy". He recognised that this was an ideal that was difficult to achieve, but that we needed parents who could "calm down" even when angered, and provide a good model of self-regulation. The point of effective parenting and attachment-oriented therapy was to prevent the inter-generational transmission of dysregulated internal states of mind and the passing on of insecure internal working models of self and other.
The discussion drew attention to the work of Peter Marris and the political implication and exploitation of insecurity. There was also an emphasis on how extremes of poverty, class and power militated against security and the capacity for attachment. Indeed for Oliver this encouraged the Dark Triad of psychopathy, Machiavellianism and narcissism, so prevalent among Western leaders.
Sir Richard Bowlby concluded the conference by pointing to the dangers of digital technology in its capacity to "disconnect" from intimate relationship and attachment. The attachment world needs to give serious thought to the implications of an ever-growing digital era.
Video Seven – Length 37 mins
The Last Interview with John Bowlby by Virginia Hunter
Introduction by Simon Partridge, and Judy Yellin in dialogue with Lennox Thomas
Simon Partridge introduces the last video of John Bowlby made by Virginia Hunter in 1990, which reveals his warm humanity, wealth of experience, honesty and capacity for self-criticism. two extracts from the video are shown. In the first Bowlby emphasises the importance of "real life events" which had been ignored by orthodox psychoanalysis once Freud abandoned his seduction theory. And the second points up Bowlby's own "appalling ignorance" about the widespread occurrence of physical and sexual abuse, its grave psycho-emotional consequences, and which he did so much to expose.
This is followed by conversation between Lennox Thomas and Judy Yellin, both attachment-oriented psychotherapists with a former background in social work. The theme is that of child protection, Thomas focuses on the future, while Yellin examines what's happening now. A stimulating Q&A section follows which touches on the neglect of Bowlby's work in analytic training; Bowlby's influence in Scotland; congruence between Bowlby and Alice Miller, and the importance of mourning.
The video ends with a brief but revealing look at the accompanying exhibition about Bowlby's life which was running concurrently at the Freud Museum. You can have a virtual tour now of this exhibition via this link.

The Tree of Life, connecting all forms of creation, is also referred to as the world tree or cosmic tree, portrayed in various religions and philosophies. In gardens, trees add a sense of time and stability. Our Tree of Life concrete stepping stone mold will help you create a path that brings connectedness to your garden.
Did my first casting with it, and it came out perfectly. My only disappointment is to learn that the molds are only good for approximately 10 uses. How can I maximize that with good care? Are the molds available in smaller sizes?
Also, I was wondering what concrete mix you recommend most?
Love Garden Molds! I wish the weather would warm up so I can use this new one! I have many others and they've all been great!
I've been wanting to make my own decorative stepping stones, as those in the stores (the ones I like, anyway!)are not only expensive, but never last more than a couple of years. With my own mold, I can make several of my favorite pattern, and use high quality materials so they will last for YEARS!
Sturdy, beautiful design. Easy to use. Have bought from you for years and never been disappointed.


This very short post is why we can stop worrying about exactly what "it" is, that place where every great educator knows that real learning is taking place or about to take place or has the future potential to take place. This is what we work for.
I value the days where he has frustration and boredom. I see them as precursors to a breakthrough. When he is dissatisfied, he is more motivated to identify what he really wants to do. I'm learning to let silence be in our conversations, instead of rushing in with suggestions. He is beginning to take a more active role in his learning, and I'm thrilled to be part of the journey.
And this passed on to me by a colleague who linked a teacher friend to my TEDx talk. It means these last 30 years in the wilderness pondering why educators would not listen to such simple truths were worth it!
Diana...oh my I cried at certain points. He has really, really brought it all together and states it so well. I loved his comparison of Education as an ecosystem or an industrial model and his one word answer "Dewey". I often wonder how many new teachers just out of school even learned much about Dewey!
Going to bed happy tonight, high in the Hudson Valley, wondering only why a great country like ours cannot overcome silly disputes to get the planes to fly on time!
You write, "wondering only why a great country like ours cannot overcome silly disputes to get the planes to fly on time!" Because it waits for the system to be almost irrevocably broken to repair it. I'll bet there are plenty of people – many of them students – wondering the same thing about education.
John Dewey and his constructivist learning model is what I dream of. What a gift if and when the Bridge Year creates that true learning environment. Best of luck to you.

Tour de France 2021: Stage 9 highlights - Video
By Cyclingnews published 4 July 21
Watch as Ben O'Connor take the biggest win of his career in Tignes
Stage 9 at the Tour de France saw Ben O'Connor (AG2R Citroën) secured the victory on the summit finish of Tignes. The Australian rode solo for almost the whole length of the final climb to take the win by more than five minutes on Mattia Cattaneo (Deceuninck-QuickStep) and Sonny Colbrelli (Bahrain Victorious).
The 144.9km race from Cluses to Tignes included 4,500 metres of climbing with five categorised climbs including the first hors catégorie test of the race, at the Col du Pre, and two first-category mountains and an uphill finish in Tignes.
On the closing ascent, O'Connor struck out for stage victory 17 kilometres from the line and took a commanding solo win. The chase-group riders hung on for podium finishes as Cattaneo and Colbrelli crossed the line more than five minutes back, while Guillaume Martin (Cofidis) was fourth and Franck Bonnamour (B&B Hotels p/b KTM) was fifth, and overall leader Tadej Pogačar (UAE Team Emirates) sixth at 6 minutes back.
In the race for the yellow jersey, Pogačar increased his lead in the overall classification and is now 2:01 ahead of the day's stage winner O'Connor, while Rigoberto Uran (EF Education-Nippo) is positioned in third place at 5:18.
Watch the video above for the full highlights.


A last minute minute header by substitute Tiarnán Mulvenna gave Drogheda United a 1-0 win over Bohemians at Dalymount Park.
The victory gave Johnny McDonnell's side all three points and sees them enter the top half of the Premier Division table, while Keith Long's men will count themselves unlucky having shown for most of the game why they are 10 points clear of the United Park outfit.
The first-half produced very few chances, the best of which fell to Karl Moore who headed over the bar from close range after just 14 minutes. Ismahil Akinade's first-half performance leading the frontline was a mixed bag – full of good positioning, but a poor first touch when it counted. However, Akinade improved during the second-half when he played in a deeper position.
Bohs were in control for most of the opening 45, and though Drogs looked good on the counter-attack at times, neither team were able to produce many clear-cut opportunities.
The second-half started off at the same pace as the first, neither side risking too many men forward. United's Lee Duffy had the first chance of the half but his effort was always rising over the crossbar.
It was in the 60th minute that the game finally came to life. It felt like Bohs had a free-kick or corner every minute. Resident set-piece specialist Lorcan Fitzgerald was standing over every one of them – the first was just inches too high for Derek Prendergast to reach, while the next two were defended well by Stephen Maher and United goalkeeper Micheál Schlingermaan.
Five minutes later, Anto Murphy was Fitzgerald's target. However, Murphy was booked either for cuddling up to the defender or possibly due to his disagreement with referee Derek Tomney over the original infringement. Within seconds of this, Keith Buckley found himself one-on-one with Schlingermaan, however his shot went straight into the 'keeper's arms.
Drogs looked dangerous on the break anytime they regained possession from Bohs, who pressed forward in numbers. Duffy actually had the ball in the net for the visitors, firing low between Bohs 'keeper Dean Delaney's legs, but the United front-man had been flagged offside.
Minutes later, Duffy found himself free in the middle of the box but a timely intervention from Prendergast stopped an excellent Tiarnán Mulvenna cross from reaching him. The former Drogheda defender saved the day again a minute later when his diving header blocked Duffy's goalbound shot from the edge of the area.
Having come on as a 72nd minute substitute, Mulvenna was involved in most of Drogheda's best attacks in the closing stages. Indeed, the 26 year old would have the final say as he scored the match-winning goal in the 90th minute. Sean Thornton's corner from the right-hand side reached Mulvenna, whose header curled into the net near the back-post.
Next Friday, Drogheda will hope to continue their recent good form as they host the Louth derby when Dundalk travel to United Park. Drogs were the last team to beat Dundalk by a three-goal margin, winning 4-1 in March 2014.
Bohemians have a friendly game against Scottish Premier League side Hearts on Wednesday, with the Gypsies' next league game taking place the following Saturday when they travel to the City Calling Stadium to take on Longford Town.
