City officials rapped at monthly Lok Adalat hearing
August 15, 2010 Navya P K
Forget the common man, not even the judiciary finds it easy to sway the state's government officials from perpetual indifference. At a Lok Adalat hearing on August 6th 2010, many top officials were pulled up by the judges for poor performance and lack of initiative. However, the babus wouldn't be swayed. After the session, many were seen joking about the whole affair.
Around 120 people including senior government officials and their subordinates, lawyers, members of non-governmental organisations and civil society groups were present at the hearing, held at the High Court.
Among the first to face the wrath of the Lok Adalat was State Environment Secretary Kanwar Pal who was censured by the judges for not producing a satisfactory report on the 7000 industries in Bengaluru that are violating the Water (Prevention and Pollution Control) Act. Pal was supposed to direct the Karnataka State Pollution Control Board (KSPCB) to produce the report regarding the offending industries and the action taken against each of them.
"Industries in Bangalore release about 10-15 MLD (Million Litres a Day) of effluents. About 7000 industries were found to be non-compliant with the Water Act. Fifty-eight per cent of ground water in the city is contaminated," Pal said at the hearing. The judges said that the report submitted was not satisfactory and this amounted to contempt of court.

"What penalty should we impose on you for non-compliance?" Judge N K Patil asked. It was a full ten minutes before the environment secretary was let off. He was asked to submit the report at the next hearing on October 23. The judge also asked Pal to direct the KSPCB (Karnataka State Pollution Control Board) to submit a report on the status of all lakes in the state during the next hearing.
The condition of other departments was no better. Revenue and Minor Irrigation departments were also criticised for non-compliance. "There is no communication between different departments," Judge Patil observed. Several department heads got earfuls from Justice Patil and Member of Lok Adalat A N Yellappa Reddy (a city-based environmentalist), for not initiating appropriate action as was directed in the previous hearings.
Lok Adalat or 'People's court' is an alternative to regular courts, wherein disputes are settled fast and free of cost through conciliation and compromise. Many cases of money claims, partition suits, damages and matrimonial cases are routinely settled before Lok Adalat.
Now, this Lok Adalat on waste management was originally constituted to implement the directives of an order made by the High Court in 2002 in a case relating to the pollution of Bellandur tank. The Adalat directed all concerned government departments including BBMP, BDA, BWSSB, Minor Irrigation Department, KSPCB and Revenue Department, to form a committee. The heads of each of these bodies are required to be present at the hearings. The scope of cases was gradually increased to include other environmental issues such as hospital waste management, solid waste management, rejuvenation of lakes and so on. The Adalat is usually held once a month, but this can vary depending on the amount of time government officials request to implement court orders before the next hearing.
In the last few years of this Adalat under Justice H L Manjunath (who started Lok Adalat), several changes were initiated such as provision of clean drinking water to Bellandur residents, getting hospitals to set up ETPs (Effluent Treatment Plants) and provision of water to government hospitals at domestic rates instead of commercial rates.
"The court has been able to implement many changes despite lame excuses from government departments. Officials can even be jailed for violating court orders. They have to be pushed into action," says Advocate S Vasudev, who had represented Bellandur village panchayat in the case. However, no action has been taken against any official yet. "On getting warnings, officials usually comply or they give reasons for the delay in taking action," says Vasudev.
Practical solutions for Bangalore's garbage problem
Apart from ensuring that court orders pertaining to the city's environment are implemented, the Adalat also discusses issues as was seen at this month's hearing. One such was on solid waste management, ideas on which were proposed by the Solid Waste Management Round Table Bengaluru, a group comprising citizens and two NGOs – Saahas based in Jayanagar, and Full Circle which works in North Bangalore. This was the first hearing of the Round Table, which was formed about a year ago, to identify solutions to the solid waste management problems of the city. Members of the Round Table made a presentation 'Roadmap towards zero waste' detailing the benefits of segregating solid waste at source.
"Of the total waste, 60 % can be turned into compost, 30% can be recycled, 5% can be disposed strategically and only the remaining 5% needs to go into the landfill. Sixty to seventy per cent of the waste can be managed at the household level," said Shalini Charles Khanna, a member of the Round Table. The organisation currently works with 10,000 houses and institutions, where it segregates more than six tonnes of waste and earns money by selling materials to recyclers.
The members suggested that dry waste collection centers be opened in every ward and biogas units be opened for processing wet waste. "Instead of the Rs 100 crores that BBMP spends now annually, our calculations show that with our proposal the Palike can earn Rs 80 crore instead, by recycling and composting waste, while making the city a zero-waste zone," Shanthi said.
Mayor S K Nataraj, who was present at the hearing, said that the proposal will be considered. "We will work with the Round Table regarding this proposal," he said.
BBMP's presentation found wanting
Following this, BBMP made a powerpoint presentation with respect to landfills, which was later criticized by the judges for its lack of clarity. The presentation was shoddy and that it should have been done in a way that everyone present in the courtroom understood it, the judges observed. The BBMP presentation included information on how they are segregating waste currently, the companies to which the work has been outsourced, their plans to introduce more landfill sites and so on. A member who attended this session remarked that the information presented was with data of 2008.
The mayor, however, defended his subordinates saying that the officers were probably scared as they were being exposed to the Lok Adalat for the first time. "Yesterday they did a good job when they made the presentation to me. Anyway what finally matters is the result," the mayor said.
BWSSB Chairman P B Ramamurthy, who was also present at the meeting, said Sewage Treatment Plants (STPs) will be installed at the upstream of polluted lakes. "We are planning to construct 11 STPs in the periphery of the city as well. This will be completed in 2012, when the project to supply an additional 500 MLD of Cauvery water to the city is finished," he said.
BBMP Commissioner H Siddaiah said that the process of fencing and developing lakes in the city is progressing. A total Rs1000 crore is needed for the process, of which Rs 200 crore has been allocated this year. The programme will be completed in three years, he said.
After the session, the Round Table members were seen interacting with the mayor. He said that women councilors in the BBMP were the key to implementing the idea of waste management. "We are lucky to have 86 women councilors this time. They will take to this concept fast and once they are on our side, others will fall in line," the mayor told them.
The members also asked the mayor to make the BBMP office a zero-waste area first. "We got a tentative commitment from the Mayor in this regard. If government departments have to implement this idea, they have to follow it themselves first. It will also help them understand the effectiveness of the idea," Sandhya Narayanan, a member of the round table said later. Around seven to eight people from the Round Table attended the hearing.
For the officials, however, the hearing seemed to be just a routine affair. After the two-and-half-hour session, the sleepy backbenchers drifted out while the top officials stopped for a quick chat – it seemed like business as usual until the next hearing.
Outside the court, a relieved mayor was heard commenting, "Solid waste, storm water drains, dog menace – thank god there is no rat menace!"

BBMP may not be entirely at fault. The solutions being presented all the time, have some technical challenges.
– Vermicomposting is too labour oriented, very slow and leads to lot of flies and foul odor. Why not talk about microbes which are 5-6 times faster, no smell, no flies.
– STP's gulping electricity and yet no reusable water? Why not go in for DEWATS: Gravity-driven & Bio-filtration STP's – No electricity required and gives completely reusable water. Likewise many simple solutions exist, but who cares?
Very little that BBMP, BWSSB.. can do unless their technical advisors & designers are made accountable.

Sign up for our COVID-19 newsletter to stay up-to-date on the latest coronavirus news throughout New York [dropcap]A[/dropcap]cross the spectrum critics and viewers agree we're watching the Golden Age of Television. This year was no exception. The uncompromising cable shows have raised the bar so high that the main networks had no choice but to compete. Of course, there have been hits and misses—and everybody has some series they can't live without that others think is crap—but quality beats mediocrity every time you turn on your HDTV. The trouble is that even if you use your DVR from now to eternity, you'll never catch up with all the great stuff that's available. You'll just have to let it go, tune out and move on. What follows is a very biased and extremely jaundiced list of the highs and lows of 2014, with a sneak peak at the year ahead, from us here at the Press.Spencer Rumsey:As a Long Islander I felt duty-bound to embrace Showtime's The Affair because it takes place on the East End in a place called Montauk without the traffic. But in the end (pun intended) I just didn't care about the adulterous pair: the school teacher-turned-author and the mourning mother-turned-waitress. (Neither did fellow Squawkler Jaime Franchi; Read Her Kneecapping Of The Series Here.) The New Yorker's great TV critic Emily Nussbaum nailed this pretentious show to the wall when she likened it to "listening to a couple bickering about whose idea it was to go to Queens for Korean food." Likewise, she pointed out that the more interesting people on the show who should have been screwing around, let alone with each other, were the ones being screwed over. Enough already.Dominic West and Ruth Wilson are in shallow waters in "The Affair." (Showtime/Facebook)On the other hand, Showtime turned this season of Homeland into must-see TV. Sure, I knew the writers were torturing me with their tortuous plot twists, their manipulative portrayal of the medically messed up Islamabad CIA chief Carrie Mathison, and those murderous mishaps and unbelievable betrayals, but I sat glued to the screen anyway. And to think this season took place in Pakistan where real news and horror happens practically around the clock deepened the veneer of realism. All season I worried about Agent Peter Quinn, Carrie's one-man army who'd gone rogue. This skilled sniper shot her once, would he do it again? Not even if she stood brazenly in his crosshairs! In fact, he'd rather take himself out. Now that's putting honor before duty. What a guy!Some watchers soured on the final season of Aaron Sorkin's Newsroom on HBO, but not me. I couldn't get enough of Jane Fonda as a wonderfully powerful woman knocking heads with the media assholes who have dumbed-down our democracy. I enjoyed how fast every Sorkin character talks—even their dialogues are mile-a-minute monologues—they always have so much to say. Such wonderful chemistry was always cooking with the characters played by Jeff Daniels and Emily Mortimer, Olivia Munn and Thomas Sadoski, Alison Pill and John Gallagher, Jr. And having Sam Waterston as the wise old man of the Fourth Estate and Dev Patel as the Internet polymath were great touches, too. I never quite bought into Sorkin's White House fantasy, The West Wing, probably because I was out living the East Village night life when it ruled prime time, but I felt right at home watching Newsroom, with Sorkin's focus on the men and women behind the news, rather than the celebrity froth and conservative baloney on the air that takes up way too much of our time.Emilia Clarke as Daenerys Targaryen in HBO's "Game of Thrones." (Photo credit: HBO)I love watching Game of Thrones but I doubt I'd feel as strongly if I had read any of George R. R. Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire, the books this engrossing series is based on. But I'll have to save that for another day. Season 4 ended with more "Stark choices," so to speak. Arya Stark finally let that big psychopath with the scarred face and scarred heart known as The Hound get his just desserts. What happens to her in Season 5 remains to be seen until the premiere this spring. I just hope she hasn't lost her Peter Pan-like good points. It's a tough world, this harsh land she resides in. Up north Jon Snow had his hands full, and I'm worried about those ice creatures gathering steam. Talk about a zombie army! They make all the other crap going on in Westeros look like so much piffle—and the poor men of the Night's Watch are too little too late, as far as I can tell. Way down south in this imaginary-but-vivid world, across the Narrow Sea, Daenerys Targaryen, my favorite woman on the show (all hail, Khaleesi!), has had to lock up her dragons, and kick out the one guy in her inner circle I most identified with, the love-struck exile Jorah Mormont, who admitted he'd betrayed her. Yeah, he done her wrong so he had to pay. Talk about tough love. Back in King's Landing, that hornets' nest of poisonous ambition, the incest angle is heating up as Cersei Lannister has declared her so-called love for her twin brother, the one-handed Jaime Lannister. Their tryst is a real turnoff, at least in my mind, because he is no longer as smarmy as she is since he did his dwarf brother, Tyrion Lannister, a solid after all. And let the record show that if there's ever news that the actor who portrays him, Peter Dinklage, is leaving the series for whatever reason, that's it for me: Game over. Meanwhile maybe I will get around to reading those George R.R. Martin books someday.My biggest disappointment in 2014 is House of Cards, the over-hyped, mean-spirited, scorched-earth Netflix series that ripped off the BBC version based on the House of Lords, which I've been told by people I trust is so much better television that there's no contest. At this point, I am almost willing to pay someone to tell me what happens to Kevin Spacey's Frank Underwood in Season 3 because life is too short. Just let me know how the cynical-Congressman-turned-opportunistic-Vice President-(emphasis on vice)-now-POTUS meets his well-deserved end, and I can go back to worrying about the 114th Congress, which promises to be really scary because those bad politicians aren't actors.Rashed Mian:Claire Danes as CIA Islamabad Station Chief Carrie Mathison in Showtimes' "Homeland." (Photo credit: Facebook/Homeland)This maddening season of Homeland began with great promise: Carrie receives faulty intelligence detailing the whereabouts of a homicidal terrorist, and, without visual confirmation, goes ahead and approves a drone strike inside Pakistan. An entire family celebrating a wedding is slaughtered in the strike, and when the dust settles Hassan Haqqani is unaccounted for. All hail the Drone Queen (It's even written on a cake!). There we have it, a storyline that appears to borrow from real-life events (See: US drone strikes kills civilians in wedding procession). But the writers go ahead and find a way to screw it all up by latching onto a survivor of the drone strike—Haqqani's nephew Aayan. Instead of letting the kid go off to college and peacefully mourn the loss of his entire family, the CIA sees this as an opportunity to turn him into an asset. That's when the season begins to unravel. We're taken on an agonizing journey that culminates in Carrie (pretending to be a journalist) taking Aayan's virginity and bedding him over the course of multiple nights inside a CIA safe house in an effort to gain his trust. It's hard to get our heads around how a show with an A-list roster of writers takes such an unimaginative route. Alas, they weren't done! They send Peter Quinn, a seasoned assassin contemplating retirement following a recent bender, to question Carrie's strategy, as if he's some moral authority. Carrie intentionally has the safe house raided and Aayan is left to journey alone to a rural region of Pakistan where he's reunited with his murderous uncle. Carrie is pleased. Her plan works. She found Haqqani. Suddenly, Aayan's brain is blown to pieces. Haqqani, aware of a drone hovering above, produces former CIA Director Saul Berenson, who has been taken hostage. At this point, many fans have already jumped ship, largely due to Carrie's creepy seduction of the college student. But the season is saved by—who else?—Manny Patinkin (Saul Berenson), who gives a mesmerizing performance during his captivity and again when he has to be convinced by Carrie not to put a bullet in his brain after a failed escape. Haqqani's siege of the American embassy in Islamabad with the help of the ISI, Pakistan's intelligence agency, is dramatic enough, but it feels like it was lifted from the script of Fox's 24. (Remember when terrorists infiltrated the White House in Season 7?) To be fair, the season did rebound, but it squandered an opportunity early on to explore the ramifications of a failed missile strike.Keri Russell and Matthew Rys play undercover KGB spies in FX's "The Americans." (Photo credit: The Americans/Facebook)If you're yearning for a new show to devour in 2015, look no further then FX's drama The Americans. The series follows a KGB spy couple—Elizabeth and Philip Jennings—who have two kids and ostensibly live a ho-hum life in suburban Washington, D.C., during the Cold War. Just to up the ante, the series' creators made sure that an obsessed FBI agent lives next door. The show succeeds in turning the Jennings into likable characters despite their mission to gain useful intelligence that they can covertly relay to "The Center" and satisfy their KGB bosses, thereby undermining the United States' effort. Did I mention they're also murderers? Still, it's hard not to root for the Jennings. Take, for example, last season, when another spy couple and their daughter are killed inside a hotel room, leading Jennings to fear the worse: Their family might be next. The drama somehow plays second fiddle to the Jennings' relationship, which when the series begins is tenuous at best. The KGB forced Elizabeth and Philip to marry and then sent them off to create the all-American family. They grow fonder for each other as the series goes on, and we witness a burgeoning romance. Maybe it's their fear that any day could be their last that spurs them on, but their affection toward each other feels genuine. Their bond grows tighter despite Philip's marrying a woman who works inside the FBI's Washington office. It's only when Martha boasts to Elizabeth (pretending to be Philip's sister) about their mind-blowing trysts that Elizabeth can't help but succumb to jealousy. At home, she insists that Philip take her like he does Martha, but their innocent attempt at roleplaying doesn't manifest perhaps the way she imagined. Philip, she realizes, is not a doting father and husband when he's with Martha, but the dangerous spy that he was groomed from a young age to be. But this is more than a story about a KGB couple's path to unbridled love. Their decisions have real-life implications—for themselves and their children. And as we discover in the Season 2 finale, the KGB's plan for the Jennings was more protracted than even they believed. The KBG, they learn, intends to turn American-born children of spies into a new generation of agents. And the Jennings' daughter Paige is a top candidate. Now that's drama.Stephen Colbert ended his run as a conservative version of himself on "The Colbert Report" on Dec. 18. (Photo credit: Colbert Report/Facebook)Last week America bid ado to Stephen Colbert's Colbert Report, and possibly shed a few tears along the way. Colbert is not really going anywhere: He'll be taking over for David Letterman on The Late Show on CBS, albeit as the real Stephen Colbert, not the self-aggrandizing conservative blowhard character he played on Comedy Central for nine-plus years, and before that as a correspondent on Jon Stewart's The Daily Show. Still, he'll be missed in that format. But thanks to the emergence of British-born satirist John Oliver, and Stewart's continued success, Americans thirsty for late-night political comedy will still get their fix—and perhaps more than they asked for. Oliver, who recently completed the first season on HBO of his Sunday evening show Last Week Tonight, has demonstrated a remarkable ability to profess outrage about hot-button political issues, and use his new-found stardom to spur his audience, and millions of others on the Internet, into action. The new crop of talent on the venerable CBS and NBC late night shows is worth paying close attention to. Jimmy Fallon, who is 10 months into The Tonight Show, has injected much-needed life and stability into a much-coveted late-night institution. It'll be interesting watching how Colbert adjusts—and for that matter, how viewers adjust to him. He rarely deviated from character during the Colbert Report, so it'll be fun getting to know the real Stephen Colbert.Jaime Franchi:Lena Dunham and her stellar castmates in "Girls." (Photo credit: HBO/Facebook)Lena Dunham hit her stride in 2014 with her show Girls. The characters grew deeper, though definitely not mature (thank God). What sets Dunham's writing apart is her willingness to commit to a flinchingly honest look at the self-absorption that exemplifies life in your twenties. This is important – not only for entertainment's sake – but from an anthropological point of view. We are living in an era of unprecedented narcissism when our cameras and pens point almost exclusively selfward. Dunham's Girls pinpoints and documents that exact Gen Y Zeitgeist. It's awkward and uncomfortable, sometimes excruciating. I watch it and remember the complete asshole I was in my twenties, as the characters Hannah, Marnie, Jessa and Shoshanna undoubtedly are. Unlike how Candace Bushnell's Sex and The City inspired women to attempt to squeeze ourselves into the caricatures of a Carrie or a Samantha or a Miranda or a Charlotte, the Girls girls don't try to represent something bigger than the tiny demographic that they are, singular characters with conflicts, neuroses and faults; characters who don't love and support one another as part of a fictional apparatus, but who alternate between loving their friends and lying to them, from manipulating and sabotaging them, and feeling jealous as they grow, in what seems from here to be real time, in fits and starts and regressions. Dunham gives each character room to breathe, to not find the lesson, and to be ugly. In that exploration, truth peeks out. To me, the portrait she is drawing is breathtaking in its honesty.Sons of Anarchy was my binge-watching accomplishment of 2014. Lured by the promise of the chiseled torso of British actor Charlie Hunnam's Jax Teller and the Hamlet-on-motorcycle premise, I tuned in. My initial delight at the captivating portrayal of Gemma Teller by the amazing Katey Sagal (who's ex-onscreen husband Ed O'Neill made his own amazing late career comeback in Modern Family) soured soon enough when the glorified violence and convoluted plot points drowned out the considerable acting talent. The body count on SOA had to have added up to the high hundreds by the time the show wound its way down as groups so creatively named as "The Chinese" and "The Blacks" waged battle after battle in their war for control of the gun trade in Charming, a California town so unbelievably small that its tax base can afford to employ about two cops, both of whom are on the take, despite violent A-Team-like shoot-outs and a mounting blood bath that no one outside poor little Charming seems to notice — except for one federal agent, also on the take. Or something. At some point the series grew so outlandish that I could only stand to watch it out of the corner of my eye while my husband saw it through to the end. I'll give props to the strong female characters -– from Jax's wife Tara to his ex-girlfriend Wendy (The Sopranos' Drea de Matteo) to Gemma, who were mostly criminals as well, but who were not played as victims. At the end, I think the writers tried to paint a religious picture with Jax as a Jesus-figure with allusions to bread and wine, but abs aside, I think it was a mighty stretch. I was happy to see this show end."House of Cards" with Kevin Spacey as the cunning Frank Underwood returns for a third season. (Photo courtesy: Netflix Facebook page)Contrary to what my esteemed colleague Spencer Rumsey thinks, I ate up the second season of House of Cards with a spoon, savoring every wicked turn that Kevin Spacey's Frank Underwood and his equally vile wife Claire (played by Robin Wright) took. It might just be a testament to Spacey's acting, but I was captivated by every shot that featured his manipulative ascendancy to the Oval Office -– even the typewritten letter my other esteemed colleague Rashed Mian cannot get past. For a show about the inner workings of a male-dominated inner-circle of power inside the Washington Beltway, this show also displayed strong and multifaceted female characters, from Mrs. Underwood to journalist Kate Mara's Zoe Barnes to Jackie Sharp, played by Molly Parker. Each woman portrayed a depth of character that elevated them from roles as being either stark bitches or simple props. Each character possessed a complex backstory, unique motivation and her own ambition. Even if that drive led to some ugly ends, it was a thrill to watch. I can't wait to see what happens next (and not just because Spencer has promised to pay me). read more

Mozambique opposition eyes peace deal by November Mozambique opposition boycotts peace talks Mozambique gets a make over Mozambique's main opposition party has warned of a growing risk of instability in the energy-rich nation after parliament rejected a bill that would have given it autonomous powers in regions where it has strong support.Renamo, which lost fractious national elections in October, put a bill before parliament last week that would have given it rights to elect its own governors in six oil, gas and coal rich districts where it scored a majority at the polls.However, the ruling Frelimo party voted against the measure, while the small opposition Mozambique Democratic Movement abstained, consigning Renamo to a resounding defeat."One thing is certain, the country is sitting on a barrel of gunpowder," Renamo parliamentarian José Manteigas told Reuters on Wednesday, urging President Filipe Nyusi, who is a member of Frelimo, to intervene and revive the legislation.Frelimo, a former Marxist liberation movement, fought a 16-year civil war against Renamo and there have been concerns that Mozambique could slip back into conflict after Renamo withdrew from the 1992 peace deal that ended the fighting.In power since Mozambique won independence from Portugal in 1975, Frelimo dismissed suggestions that rejection of the bill would ignite violence."We don't believe that Renamo would go against the will and desire of the Mozambican population, which is not a return to war, but peace and stability," Frelimo lawmaker Damião José told Reuters.President Nyusi agreed to debate decentralisation after Renamo parliamentarians had refused to take up their seats following the 2014 election, but signs of cracks in the fragile detente between the two main parties have begun to surface.Manteigas said Renamo preferred a peaceful resolution to the problem, but warned darkly of "armed men in the bushes" if there was no change of heart.Related read more

USC wide receivers coach and passing game coordinator John Morton will leave the Trojans to join new San Francisco 49ers coach Jim Harbaugh's staff, USC coach Lane Kiffin announced Tuesday.Morton, the lone holdover from former USC coach Pete Carroll's staff, spent the past four seasons at USC.The 41-year-old coach previously worked with Harbaugh as an assistant with the Oakland Raiders in 2002 and 2003 and under Harbaugh at the University of San Diego in 2005."This is a great opportunity for John to further his career," Kiffin said in a statement released on the team website.

He also spent a year on staff for the New Orleans Saints in 2006.In 2009, he served as the offensive coordinator for Carroll as well as wide receivers coach, before returning to passing game coordinator in 2010.—USC announced a five-year extension Tuesday for its football and men's basketball play-by-play contract agreement with 710 ESPN Los Angeles (KSPN)."We are delighted to continue to have 710 ESPN as our flagship radio outlet for Trojan football and men's basketball games," said USC athletic director Pat Haden in a statement. "As the worldwide leader in sports, the way that 710 ESPN has represented USC's brand is consistent with the way we present it."Since the 2006 football season, KSPN has served as the flagship station for the USC Football Radio Network, which spans from Fresno, Calif. to San Diego. Prior to 2006, football and basketball games had aired on KMPC 1540.Arbogast and former USC and NFL quarterback Paul McDonald will continue to serve as the play-by-play broadcast team for football, while Chris Fisher and Jim Hefner will continue to serve as basketball broadcasters for all games.

New Betel Nut Market in Port Moresby
by Vasinatta Yama 03/02/2015 03/06/2016 0639
By Vasinatta Yama, EM TV – Port Moresby
Prime Minister, Peter O'Neill, has announced to the citizens of Port Moresby, that four areas of the city will be allocated to cater for betel nut vendors.
One of them is near the refurbished Koki market, where a betel nut market will be built.
After 15 months of imposing the ban on the sale of betel nut or buai in the city, soon people will sell the much sought after nut, without fear or favour.
Prime Minister, Peter O'Neill today announced the areas where betel nut markets will be built: Gordons, Gerehu, Hohola and Koki.
Since the ban was imposed, it has received split responses from the public.
People continue to smuggle betel nut into Port Moresby.
There were also cases were betel nut ban enforcers misused their powers by attacking smugglers, and receiving bribes.
However, it all comes back to the betel nut chewers.
Since Port Moresby is the capital of Papua New Guinea, NCD Governor Powes Parkop wants to see it clean enough to be considered a major tourist attraction.
Mr O'Neill also appealed to the people to change their attitude and stop throwing rubbish in public places.
This will contribute to the cleanliness and health of the city and the people, and also prepare for the upcoming events that Papua New Guinea will host.
Meanwhile, the Koki market will be extended for the betel nut market to be built at a cost of K2.5 million.
Specific areas are declared for selling and chewing betel nut.

According to Rolling Stone, Cardi B has officially filed a trademark application with the United States Patent and Trademark Office, as of Thursday, via her company Washpoppin, Inc.
As Cardi B continues her unprecedented run that's seemingly turned her into a global superstar overnight, the former exotic dancer turned Grammy Award-winning artist is now looking to capitalize off her success in more ways than one. She's also planning to print the phrase on trousers, shirts, and hoodies for a clothing line.
The Grammy Award victor has reportedly filed paperwork to trademark the slogan, according to E!
The Blast first reported the news. "So you hoes is mad because I trademarked 'Okurrr", Cardi said in an Instagram Live session, mentioning how often she hears people say the phrase because of her. Additionally, she plans on using the catchphrase to sell paper goods such as cups and posters as well. While co-hosting the gig, Fallon asked the star to define "Okurrr", among other Cardi catchphrases. "It depends on the situation that you're in". If somebody checks somebody, it's like.okurrr!
The 30-second commercial, which was of course titled "Okurrr" shows the "I Like It" rapper playfully reassuring diner customers that Pepsi is, in fact, okay to drink... though it takes them a bit to understand what sound she's making.
Although Cardi continuously uses the phrase.


The Icebreaker Rush Sports Bra is ideal for trail running or aerobic exercises for a/b cups and climbing or mountain biking for c/d cups. Made with a little Lycra for a great fit, this bra regulates temperature, breathes to prevent overheating, dries fast, and resists odor.
Enjoy the comfort of next-to-skin merino wool fabric with the Icebreaker Women's Siren Bra. This sweet bra has a touch of Lycra fabric for the ultimate fit, while its full lining ensures you don't show off more than you want to through your tee or tank top.
With maximum support, The North Face Women's Bounce-B-Gone Reversible Sports Bra truly lives up to its name. The Bounce-B-Gone features compressive stretch fabric and VaporWick fabric for incredible moisture management. The North Face added a wide elastic hem for additional support.


We went to London yesterday to check out the eCommerce Expo and had a great time meeting some of the key players in the ecommerce industry. The highlight for us being the OpenCart stand where we met the developers behind OpenStock, OpenBayPro and the man himself behind OpenCart, Daniel Kerr.
It was interesting talking to Daniel about the phenominal success of OpenCart, the 1.5.6 release which includes OpenStock and OpenBayPro by default and his plans for the future of OpenCart.
What I wasn't expecting to hear was that Daniel is now working on version 2.0.0 of OpenCart and expects it to be released this year (i.e. in the next 3 months)!

2017 was a landmark year for the Greek economy, as it ended a multiannual period of economic crisis and recession, bringing it back to the pathway of growth.
More specifically, 2017 is the first year of economic recovery based on healthy sources (exports, investments, reforms and program compliance) that are capable of providing continuity and sustainability to growth.
2018 is also a key year for the Greek economy, since it launches its exit from the Memoranda and the tough guardianship in order to bring in it line with a sustainable, balanced and fair development.

Tokeny Joins the Ranks of the Global Digital Finance Registry
Joshua Stoner
Global Digital Finance Registry
In a rapidly developing industry, a growing list of companies have recognized a need for, not only uniformity in the interpretation of regulations, but accountability as well. To facilitate these goals, a non-profit organization, known as Global Digital Finance Registry, has been formed. This organization operates under the following mission statement:
'The global formation and distribution of capital has value to both new market entrants and incumbents in financial services. Global Digital Finance endeavours to drive efficient, fair and transparent crypto asset markets by building a knowledge base and best practice for "Truly Digital" finance and the benefits tokens can bring all market participants.'
Simply put, its purpose is to create a community comprised of industry participants, in an effort to foster industry growth in a fair and transparent manner.
Members of the registry are able to indicate their adherence to a variety of code-of-conducts, outlined by the GDF. Tokeny in particular attests to Codes 1,2, and 3.
Overarching Principles
Principles for Token Sales
Principles for Token Platforms
Principles for Funds and Fund Managers
Principles for Ratings Websites
The GDF launched in 2018, and maintains headquarters in London, United Kingdom.
The founding members of the Global Digital Finance Registry were announced roughly 6 months ago. These members consisted of the following companies.
Diginex
To meet the goals of the endeavour, new participants are needed to ensure continued expansion and adoption of the code of conduct. Upon applying for membership, entrants are able to indicate which of the 5 codes-of-conduct they pledge an adherence to.
We reached out to Tokeny for comment on their decision to join this registry, and what benefits it will afford both Tokeny and their clients.
Luc Falempin stated,
"In order for digital securities to succeed it is essential there is a standardised association across global jurisdictions and regulators. By joining the GDF, we are helping drive this digitisation of capital markets by contributing to a community that is helping shape this standardisation of conduct." He continued, "We are joining a community of policymakers, regulators, bankers and other market participants to encourage and develop best practices in the issuance of digital securities."
Tokeny had to following to say upon announcing their participation in the GDF. It was stated,
"For digital assets to gain mainstream adoption it's imperative there is a co-ordinated response across global regulators and jurisdictions. Key to this is standardised terminology. To help encourage this we've registered with the Global Digital Finance Code of Conduct, an industry-led initiative driving best practices to enable the digital assets industry to flourish."
Tokeny
Tokeny is a Luxembourg based company that was founded in 2017. CEO, Luc Falempin, has guided this young company along its path towards transforming digital securities. The Tokeny platform has seen modest levels of adoption in recent months, as they have played host to a variety of STOs. These events have/will see Blockport, VR Bank, and others tokenize and distribute assets.
The Global Digital Finance Registry is not the only grouping of companies hoping to secure a bright future for digital securities. In recent months, we have seen the formation of the 'Millbrook Accord', and the 'Digital Securities Alliance', among others. Here are a couple of articles detailing each of these groups.

In the upcoming Leonovus Galaxa STO, a pair of promising companies have decided to collaborate as co-advisers. This would be United States based Entoro and, Canada based, DigiMax.
With a mutual goal shared between the companies, this collaboration was undertaken to capitalize on the strengths and weaknesses of each company.
U.S. versus Global
In their announcement, the companies indicate that, while Entoro has much to offer, their experience lies within the confines of the United States. DigiMax, on the other hand, has experience on a more global scale.
Between the two of these companies, Leonovus stands to benefit from a versatile, and competent, team of advisors. The companies note that, beyond this perk, the collaboration will allow for future referrals between one another, as their client base requires it.
In announcing their collaboration with one another, representatives from each, Entoro and DigiMax, took the time to comment. The following is what each had to say on the matter.
Chris Carl, CEO of DigiMax, stated,
"We are excited to be partnering with Entoro to assist one another in advising and funding our collective issuer clients…We believe that Entoro is the definitive leader in providing proper advisory services for issuers of digital securities in the United States and this is the kind of highly diligent and compliance-oriented company that DigiMax seeks to partner with. We believe there are many synergies to be gained for each of our companies from this formal collaboration with most of these benefits accruing to our clients."
James C. Row, Managing Partner of Entoro Capital, stated,
"We view DigiMax as a global leader in bringing awareness of the importance of regulatory compliance to every step in the process of companies issuing digital securities and we are impressed with the global brand that DigiMax has built. We see a great deal of opportunity for both of our companies to accelerate as a result of this collaboration agreement. We have a high appreciation of the professional level of conduct by DigiMax from our observations working with them on our first client tougher."
DigiMax is a Canadian company, based out of Toronto, Ontario. This young company has developed a suite of services built to facilitate capital generation events, such as STOs and DSOs.
CEO, Chris Carl, currently oversees company operations.
Entoro
Operating out of Houston, Texas, Entoro functions primarily as an investment bank. Since launch, Entoro has expanded their services to facilitate blockchain ventures and digital securities.
Managing Partner, James C. Row, currently oversees company operations.
Both, DigiMax and Entoro, have found themselves as regulars in our headlines. Over the past few months, each of these companies have made positive developments, as well as found themselves working on the same project. Check out the following articles to learn more about these events.

The Announcement – Calibra
Facebook announced a pair of tokens recently. The project, which is being spearheaded by Facebook subsidiary, Calibra, will see both a stablecoin, and a security token, released.
While the stablecoin is meant to provide a global consumer base with an efficient means of transferring value, the security token facilitates project governance, and the development of a cash reserve.
Due to the potential of this project to significantly impact global currencies, and the financial system, the project has received much backlash, to date.
True Suspicions
Upon initially announcing the project, many suspected that the world's greatest population of humans, India, would not be eligible for participation. This suspicion was born from the on-going battles within the country, between blockchain advocates and central banks.
As suspected, Facebook and Calibra have since verified these suspicions by stating the project will not launch in regions where such currencies are outlawed. They do remain hopeful that perspectives may change in the future.
Alexandra Voica, Facebook representative, states, "Calibra will respect the legislation", "But we are looking to work with regulators to see if the legislation can be updated".
Meeting with Congress
On July 16th a Congressional hearing will be held, followed by a similar hearing in front of the House Financial Services Committee on the 17th. The main focus of these hearings will be the testimony of Calibra representative, David Marcus, as he discusses the project and two tokens to be released.
After making their intentions known to the public, Facebook and Calibra were greeted with a response of fear and outrage by government authorities. While some point to Facebooks past track record regarding privacy lapses as a main concern, others see Libra for what it could potentially be – a competitor to the USD.
Facebook has too much power and a terrible track record when it comes to protecting our private information. We need to hold them accountable—not give them the chance to access even more user data. #BreakUpBigTech https://t.co/eQr06VMMyx
— Elizabeth Warren (@ewarren) June 19, 2019
Whatever the case may be, this hearing will provide Facebook with the opportunity to give the answer Congress is looking for. Now is the time to allay any fears that regulators may have regarding the project.
Market Response
While there are surely a plethora of factors driving the price trajectory of Bitcoin, the outcome of the congressional meeting regarding the Calibra project weighs heavy.
Anticipation of these meetings has been met with a swift decline in overall marketcap and prices in the days leading up to it. Time will tell, but most suspect a positive outcome of these meetings will be met with a positive uptick in pricing. A positive outcome is, however, far from a sure thing.
Presidential Musings
Tweets discussing cryptocurrencies are typically white noise. There are an exorbitant amount of industry players always weighing in on the state of the industry. However, when the POTUS begins tweeting on the subject, people listen.
…and International. We have only one real currency in the USA, and it is stronger than ever, both dependable and reliable. It is by far the most dominant currency anywhere in the World, and it will always stay that way. It is called the United States Dollar!
Whether you are a fan or a detractor of the POTUS, the fact that cryptocurrencies have captured the attention of the highest levels of government speaks volumes to the development witness within the industry in recent years.
Before the meetings with Congress ensure, Facebook and Cablira have already made it clear that they will not be launching the product until the authorities are satisfied with the projects structuring.
In his prepared testimony for the hearings, David Marcus writes the following,
"The time between now and launch is designed to be an open process and subject to regulatory oversight and review…We know we need to take the time to get this right. And I want to be clear: Facebook will not offer the Libra digital currency until we have fully addressed regulatory concerns and received appropriate approvals."
While there may be unavoidable delays due to hearings and potential restructuring of the project, the fact remains that with the combined clout and influence of the companies involved in this project – Facebook, VISA, PayPal, UBER, MasterCard, etc. – it is hard to imagine Calibra failing.
Industry Hurdles – Custodianship
In under two years, the state of custodianship within blockchain has grown by leaps and bounds. A mere eighteen months ago publications were posting about 'The sad state of crypto custody'. Six months after that, custody solutions were noted as a rapidly developing innovation within the industry.
A major driving factor behind the development seen, with regards to custodianship, is due to the narrative of 'institutional capital' entering the world of crypto. If this is to occur, they will require trusted companies to provide this service.
Today, various companies which recognized the lack of solutions in the industry have launched, and established beginning levels of adoption. The following are a few of these companies, and what they are bringing to the table.
In a recent, and promising, bit of news, payment processing giant, VISA, Blockchain Capital, and others, invested $40 million USD into a blockchain based custodial solution – Anchorage. This raise represented a Series B, with the company previously raising $16 million in their Series A mere months ago.
This young, promising, company has taken a different approach to providing a safe haven for digital assets. Rather than using passwords and usernames, the platform relies on a mix of human and artificial intelligence to verify transactions on whitelisted devices.
Anchorage has stated that, in time, their platform will support all forms of digital assets. This versatility, and interest in the sector shown by companies like VISA, points to a bright future.
Unbound Tech
One of the most anticipated digital securities exchange launches of 2019, is the upcoming Archax Exchange. With a projected launch in Q4 of 2019, it is imperative for Archax to establish all of the necessary partnerships and services sooner than later. The latest puzzle piece to fall in to place would be the decision to utilize custodial services, offered by Unbound Tech.
Unbound Tech, which operates out of New York, has developed a DLT based platform which breaks up and stores data among various parties. This is done with the intention of eliminating a single point of weakness within a storage network. No doubt, their innovative, and polished, platform led to this strategic partnership.
The rise of digital securities has also resulted in the rise of numerous issuance platforms. In order to remain appealing to their clients, each of these platforms must either offer their clients direct access to a custodial service, or redirect them to a third party.
One of the most promising issuance platforms, SWARM, has experienced better adoption than most, to date. Not offering any 'in-house' custodial service, SWARM established a strategic partnership with U.K. based, Copper.
Copper provides institutional grade custodianship through the use of a practice called 'air-gapping'. This simply refers to the practice of ensuring their cold storage devices are, not only not connected to the internet, but not connected to any other device which maintains an internet connection.
Upon establishing their alliance, SWARM Cofounder Philipp Pieper, had high praise for Copper. He stated, "The integration between Copper and SWARM is a great fit due to the compatibility of our technologies as well as our teams…Copper provides the level of institutional grade security and convenience that is absolutely essential for the adoption of digital securities by institutional investors and retail market,"
Love them or hate them, Coinbase remains at the forefront of the blockchain industry. This means that when their custodial solution, 'Coinbase Custody' announced support for their first digital security, it represented an important step.
The reason this step is an important one can be broken down various ways, but is primarily positive, due to the increased exposure which Coinbase will afford the nascent digital securities sector. Most participants in the world of blockchain are well versed in ICOs, but have not necessarily been exposed to STOs and DSOs. Support of assets issued through these capital generation events, by an industry leader, is most definitely a step forward.
Carlos Domingo, CEO of Securitize, tweeted at the time of this announcement.
Great news for the ecosystem, @coinbase now supporting securities issued by @Securitize DS protocol starting with @blockchaincap BCAP token. https://t.co/AFeVNfypLk
— Carlos Domingo (@carlosdomingo) June 5, 2019
TokenSoft Knox Wallet
TokenSoft has been one of the busiest companies within the digital securities sector throughout 2019. One of their various steps forward, came through their various custodial solutions for clientele. While the company has formed an alliance with Coinbase Custody, TokenSoft has developed their own solution for those interested.
'Knox Wallet' is the name of this offering. It is a mobile custody solution, which brings full support for various digital security protocols.
ERC-1404
Harbor R-Token
Polymath ST-20
Securitize DS-20
Knox provides its users with security through the use of various tactics. These include cold storage, role-based access control, and cryptographic authentications.
While Knox remains in beta, it has the potential to become a key player in the digital securities sector. It remains one of the only mobile based custody solution to support the asset class.
Continued Growth
An entire subset of the blockchain industry was essentially birthed from nothing, in less than two years. It has since grown into a promising grouping of service providers. While time and development move slowly in the moment, reflecting on growth within blockchain shows fantastic speed of development, wherever you look.
The companies discussed here today are essentially writing the custodial solution blueprint on the fly. As these industry trailblazers demonstrate what works, and what doesn't, we should continue to see increasingly polished solutions presented. One such example may prove to be the upcoming Facebook project, Calibra.

On Monday I discovered that an old Chromebook I have can now support "LinuxApps". These are a VM + containers that one can use to run straight Linux programs. They descibe using GUI apps, but I just want compilers, vim, my shell, git and the regular crew of dev tools.
And they're here. Is it the fastest thing ever? No. As I type this I'm having vague flashbacks to connecting up to a shell account via a 9600 baud modem. But I was able to write code just fine back then and no worries doing it now.
This particular Chromebook is still around (it's from 2016) and it's an Acer CB3-431 with 4g of RAM and just 32g for disk. But it's enough room to pull down most things I work on and push them up where better machines can build and deploy them. And the battery life - even two years on - is amazing. Easily six hours. I'd like one with more RAM, a faster CPU, more disk space and USB-C charging, but for now this is good enough.
Pretty impressed. I already used it to perfect my home dir init script. So now I can just do the dreaded curl url | bash idiom to do the 20 or so commands I usually need to do for a complete new homedir. Not sure it will become a main dev machine, but for mobile coding it's pretty damn good.

The Sleepy Hollow Experience will take place Thursday-Sunday, October 4th-31st, 2018. This outdoor, immersive theatrical experience will be sure to make heads roll with a performance in the Sugarloaf Mountain Amphitheater, as well as an escape room, and a haunted trail/laser tag maze. The show follows a group of residents in Sleepy Hollow as their town is plagued by mysterious goings-on and culminates with both the characters and you the audience coming face to face with the infamous Headless Horseman! The haunted festivities start at 7pm and the last tickets for the evening are sold at 11pm. If you can't make it to the actual town of Sleepy Hollow during the month of October, this may be the next best thing.
Learn about the spirits that have been seen, heard, felt and smelled in the neighborhood surrounding the Wauseon Depot and the Fulton County Museum. This museum was a former school and county hospital, and the railroad depot apparently has travelers who have never left the station! The tours leave every 15 minutes and are very small, having no more than 12 people per tour group, and occur rain or shine. Each tour is guided by a storyteller, walks last approximately an hour, and the last two tours of each night are reserved for guests 18+; ordering tickets ahead of time is highly recommended, and the tours will occur every Friday and Saturday in October through November 4th.
Hauntville is not your normal haunted house attraction. Located 20 minutes outside of Cleveland, this haunted environment consists of 5 attractions that transport you to a different world where the only thing that's certain is fear. These attractions include "CellBlock 13", the "Butcher Barn", "Psycho Manor", "Wicked Clowns in 4-D", and "The Unknown". While the first three of these attractions are pretty self-explanatory, "Wicked Clowns in 4-D" is the first attraction of its kind, using 3-D effects, physical environments, and smells to evoke a frightening atmosphere, and "The Unknown" uses your own worst fears against you for an intense experience that is unique to everyone.
Hauntville has been called one of the best Haunted House attractions in both the Cleveland area and Ohio as a whole. The attraction is open Thursdays-Sundays, and guests with military ID get in free every night except Saturday.
For anyone familiar with amusement parks, Cedar Point is usually one of the best known as the the roller coaster capital of America! But each October, it becomes one of the scare capitals of America! Each Friday, Saturday, and Sunday from September 14th-October 28th, you can experience either The Great Pumpkin Fest, Haunt at Halloweekends, or both!
Themed after the beloved Charlie Brown Halloween special, The Great Pumpkin Festival is great for families and kids of all ages. Some of the special activities include arts and crafts, Trick-or-Treat with Peanuts characters, The Great Pumpkin Parade, themed games, rides and attractions, and more! This year, they've also added three indoor mazes (without monsters!) to ensure that it's a great time for small ones: no tricks, all treats! There are also outdoor mazes, like the classic cornstalk maze, and the Magical House at Boo Hill: a walkthrough attraction where all kids get a special surprise at the end!
In the evening, things become much less child-friendly with HAUNT, the adult-only horror overlay of the park. Whereas the mazes are friendly and fun during the daytime, at night they become infested with monsters, creatures, and terrifying humans of all sorts that are out to get YOU with jumpscares and terror around every turn. In addition to haunted attractions, there are live shows like "Eternal JAMnation" and other entertainment for when you need brief breaks from the fear. If you'd rather just run from one haunting to the next, you can explore scarezones such as "Cut Throat Grove" (full of ghostly pirates), "Fearground Freakshow" (a creepy carnival gone very wrong), the "Slaughter House" (a scarehouse full of chainsaws and butchers), and "Zombie High School" (exactly what you would expect). New for this year are "Deprivation" (a scarezone where you must find your way in pitch blackness), "Trail of the Forsaken" (a town where people are becoming their own worst nightmares), and "Hexed: Lights Out!" (a maze in the dark where you have only a flashlight to find your way). Oh, and did we mention you can still ride all the rides too?
During the week of Halloween, ZipZone outdoor adventures offers the Freaky Flights: ziplining in the dark with a festive twist. With only the light of the moon (or should you be so unlucky, the lack thereof) to light your way, you'll fly through the treetops while also participating in Halloween activities. Zipline riders are encouraged to wear Halloween costumes (that are safe to wear with a zipline harness!), and the guides will pick a "best costume" winner by the end of the night. During the tour, guests have the opportunity to "chuck a pumpkin" from the line to win prizes. Advance reservations are required, and these tours run October 27th-30th.
If you have a fear of heights or ziplining isn't your thing, but you still want to experience some outdoor thrills and chills, then Halloween on the Hocking may be for you. This unique experience combines classic outdoor activities like canoeing, tractor rides, and s'mores making but with a Halloween twist. On October 28th, canoe in the dark down the river where you don't know who (or what) you'll encounter around each bend before disembarking for the haunted tractor ride. Guests at surrounding campsites can partake in the Hocking Hills Adventures Halloween Party, which is open to all campers and guests, which includes fireside ghost stories from a Native American storyteller, face painting, and a costume and cabin/campsite decoration competitions! This activity is perfect for families and visitors who love camping and the great outdoors as much as they love old-fashioned spooks and scares.
While all of these activities are great and generally budget friendly, we understand that sometimes it can just be too hard to get out to experience these in person. If you find yourself stuck at home this Halloween season, might we suggest the following easy ways to make your home its own special haunt!
It's possible to decorate your home with things you already own or can purchase cheaply (the dollar store and other bargain-bin stores can have great Halloween decor for 1/10th-1/100th of the prices that seasonal Halloween stores ask!) If you have any old linens like towels, sheets, or curtains, draping these over furniture you don't use much can easily give that haunted-house-vibe! Plastic dollar store tablecloths are very versatile, and you can do things like cut out ominous eyes and faces in them before hanging them over windows and doors.
Do you live in an old house? Great! You can probably get that spooky vibe easier than a newer house. Do you have a great staircase? Make it a spooky focal-point with cobwebs on the banister and black-paper silhouettes on the wall. Have a spooky yard? Dig up a small spot of ground, leave a shovel and light of some kind nearby (lanterns are best but flashlights work too!) and put a homemade foam headstone nearby! Or perhaps a "do not disturb" sign if you're feeling like zombies that day.
Spooky Food is always an easy and delicious way to add festive touches to your day. If you carve a little face in an apple (think like a jack-o-lantern!) and then let it dry out, it looks like a little shrunken head! A whole manner of sweet treats can be easily spookified by adding black or orange food dye. Hot dogs wrapped in pastry strips rather than crescent rolls turn into little edible mummies. There are so many possibilities!
Whether it's the theme to the Addams Family, the Great Pumpkin Waltz, the soundtrack to the Exorcist, or Toccata and Fugue in D Minor, there are many songs that are just inextricably linked to Halloween media and the season itself. Play it through your house during a Halloween party or on Halloween night to set the mood or listen to it on your own media player throughout the day for that macabre mood anytime anywhere.

"Reading aloud is one of the most important things parents and teachers can do with children. Reading aloud builds many important foundational skills, introduces vocabulary, provides a model of fluent, expressive reading, and helps children recognize what reading for pleasure is all about."
Reading is also a fantasic opportunity to spend quality, one on one time with a child. Plus, books can be the starting point for some great conversations with children too.
It's never too early to start reading to your child, and at StoryWeaver you'll find hundreds of stories for children at different reading levels. Also the stories are in multiple languages so your child can read (or be read to) a story in her mother tongue, a language she is trying to learn or just a language she is already proficient in.
Our 'Growing Up' series are fun, colourful, read-aloud books which are perfect for children who are just beginnging to read, and are also lovely to share with toddlers. Little ones will identify with the young protagonists of these stories as they go about their daily routine creating, climbing, carrying things and even confronting their fears. The books are written by Mini Shrinivasan and illustrated by different artists who imbue each story with a unique charm. Best of all? They're all available in multiple languages!
We've all been afraid of the dark, and some of us still are! In this story, a young girl steps out of the house at night and confronts her fears with aplomb!
Who hasn't met an adventuruous toddler who can climb up things but doesn't quite know how to get down? In 'I Can Climb' we meet a young man with just that very problem. What happens to him? Read this bilingual English-Hindi book to find out!
Little children love to help out around the house. Why not read this book with a child, and then give them some simple, fun chores to help with? Watch their faces light up and chest puff up with pride as they do.
We hope you enjoy reading these books to and with the children in your life! For some great tips on how to raise a reader, here's something from Reading Rockets!

This week in the PEN Poetry Series, PEN America features an excerpt from a book-length poem by Brian Laidlaw.
Author note: This sequence is an excerpt from Summer Err, a book-length erasure of John Muir's My First Summer in the Sierra. The source-text has a character—Muir's boss on the sheep-driving trail—nicknamed "The Don," who is a wealthy and incompetent shepherd. It feels especially timely, with the government shutdown having caused Muir's beloved Yosemite Valley to become inundated with human waste.

In his latest article written for Alan Kohler's Eureka Report, Scott looks at a bearish forecast by Gerard Minack from Morgan Stanley that the ASX 200 will fall to 3500 in 2010.
Scott provides three reasons why he thinks the forecast is unlikely to eventuate. However, he then proceeds to look at the opportunities that would be created based on the forecasts and outlook provided by Gerard Minack.

I would like a quote on internally insulating the main bedroom.
I have been recommended additional insulation in my loft (area of approx 50m) and need someone to install it for me. I can purchase the rolls, so it would simply be the fitting.
Really happy with the whole service. Friendly, knowledgeable, efficient, good value. Would definitely recommend.
Back end of upstairs flat needs loft insulation.
Professional job completed in a quick turnaround. Would use again.
We need extra insulation in the loft over two bedrooms at the end of our house. Cold due to the fact that this part of the house is over the garage and the loose insulation is not effective. Area is approximately 3 metres x 24 joists 35 cms wide. Access OK.
PTS did an excellent job for us. They were friendly and easy to deal with from start to finish. Arrived on time and did the job professionally. We were pleased with the whole experience and will use Liam Carr and the My Builder web site again.

How a False Story of a Biden Burger Ban Got Started
Biden's climate plan says nothing about holding the beef, despite story about a study
By Bob Cronin, Newser Staff
Posted Apr 27, 2021 2:13 PM CDT
President Biden speaks to the virtual Leaders Summit on Climate, from the East Room of the White House, on Thursday. (AP Photo/Evan Vucci)
First, the Daily Mail ran a story—along with a colorful graphic and a photo of a double cheeseburger—about what President Biden's plan to attack climate change "could" require Americans to spend and give up. Everyone might be required to buy a $55,000 electric car, install a $5,700 heat pump, and limit themselves to one hamburger a month, the article said, citing a January 2020 University of Michigan study. That was fresh meat for Biden opponents, and Larry Kudlow, an economic adviser to former President Trump, bit. "To meet the Biden Green New Deal targets, America has to, get this, America has to stop eating meat," Kudlow said Friday on Fox Business. "No burger on July 4. No steaks on the barbecue." Fox later showed its own graphic titled "Up In Your Grill: Biden's Climate Requirements," the Washington Post reports. Among those "requirements" listed: "cut 90% of red meat from diet" and consume no more than "one burger per month."
Republican politicians began launching critical tweets. Gov. Greg Abbott retweeted the Fox graphic, adding, "Not gonna happen in Texas!" The only hitch is that the Biden administration has proposed no such thing. The president articulated his goals at his climate change summit last week, but the administration hasn't said much about how they'll be achieved. No one has mentioned changing individuals' diets. Into that void rushed the Daily Mail's speculative story. Two of the study's authors have since said, "to our knowledge, there is no connection between our study and Joe Biden's climate plan," per Yahoo News—despite Georgia Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene's tweet calling Biden "the Hamburglar." Still, Nick Martin writes in the New Republic that though there's no plan to cut back on beef, there are health and climate reasons why it wouldn't be a bad idea. (Read more climate change stories.)
