Cortney Beth Szafran
Cortney Beth Szafran is a food system advocate. She believes that food is the key to fixing every issue facing our communities. Her advocacy goal is to foster an agroecological food system that provides dignity to all inhabitants through shaping government policy. Food has encompassed Cortney's entire life, beginning in her childhood, where her family grew their food and cooked always. After graduating from USF St. Pete, she began unearthing her advocacy path at a community Think & Do tank in Orlando: the Hive by Ideas for US. During her time there, she realized environmental law was her path. This carried her to Vermont Law School. During her first year, she attended a meeting of the Food & Agriculture Law Society. In this room of people confronting damaged systems with incredible optimism, she discovered her passion: food systems. After a year in Vermont, she awoke with the desire to work for and with her community, bringing her back to Florida, where she completed her law degree this past May 2021. During her time in law school, she was the Food System Policy Analyst for the Tampa Bay Network to End Hunger. In this role, she conceptualized, researched, and authored Local Food System Policy Analyses for shaping policy and informing strategic plans for counties and municipalities in the Tampa Bay area. Currently, Cortney is a Researcher for the Florida Food Policy Council. For the Council, she is working on multiple projects, including researching and co-authoring a Florida Food Policy Toolkit, to be used by those wanting to understand or advocate for food policy. Other experiences shaping Cortney's view include, interning for the American Civil Liberties Union of Florida and a Federal Magistrate Judge at the United States District Court: Middle District of Florida, and working in the food service industry for eight years. All of these experiences have culminated into Cortney's understanding that agroecological food systems are life giving: they cultivate community, careers, environmental regeneration, and of course food; great food paired with great people can change the world.

Regarding the 1999 KAC Martini
A letter from Erik Mather.
As the skier who was asked to conduct the seeding for the 1999 KAC Martini, I would like to make sure readers of the informative X-C Files fully understand the background to this years results. Your coverage (August 13 News) indicates some dissatisfaction with the race seeding - and while not wanting to focus on the negative of a great day of racing - a number of misstatements have been made both to me and at me.
Seeding rules are very clearly stated in the race information sheet and seeding requests are specifically requested (in bold) on the race entry form. Both these forms were mailed to the home/postal address given by previous years' entrants some months before the race.
The written rules were that seeding requests were to close on Sunday evening (2 full days prior to the race). Further, late entries were to close at 9:30am on race day (Wed.). Race start was 11 am.
Seeding requests received after the cutoff times were denied in order to respect those who had complied with the rules.
On race day (Wed.), a small number of well-credentialed skiers were processed with late entries. Following a number of particularly emotional outbursts from a long-standing member of the X-C skiing community I agreed to give these late entries a place in Start Group 4. There were 50 skiers in total allocated to Start Groups 1,2 and 3. I located all but one skier who had been denied seeding due to cut-off times. In order to maintain equity, each of these had their bib marked for Start Group 4.
I made the effort to look for Nick Almoukov, knowing he had not requested a seeded start, but in the expectation that the same compromise (ie. SG 4) ought to be afforded him. At 9:45am he had not entered the race and I went about getting myself ready for my own race.
At around 10:15am I located Alan Hislop (Race Official) who was asked to determine a late entry by Nick Almoukov. I listened as Alan explained to Nick that an official entry could not be provided, but Nick could race in an unofficial bib (numbers 600+) if he wanted a run. Readers need to understand that the computer with bib entries and timing program had been sent to Charlottes Pass.
X-C Files is right to raise the issue of seeding regarding the 1999 KAC Martini race. Undoubtedly skiers are disappointed with the outcome. I know the organisers certainly are. However, a few words for those who would be so keen to criticise the race seeding:
1. THE RULES - the rules re seeding and entries were clearly marked and a more than reasonable effort was undertaken to have these known to entrants months prior to the race. By not enforcing the rules, skiers are asking persons such as myself to exercise discretion. Many will be familiar with the controversy regarding the exercise of such discretions in our sport and elsewhere. What is the fairness to be applied in considering a National Team aspirant who has a late entry, versus a previous winner who does not enter within clearly stated times, versus the entrant who simply forgot, versus the entrant who missed seeding on account of giving service to X-C in developing a new and innovative biathlon system ? The absence of rules has the potential to see persons (rightly) requesting seeding just minutes prior to the race start, with an obviously unworkable outcome to be worsened by a whole heap of official discretion to be applied. You cannot have your cake and eat it.
2. NICK ALMOUKOV - Nick's case is a very unfortunate one and has nothing to do with seeding, and everything to do with physically processing entries in one of the few A to B ski races in Australia. The situation was clearly explained to Nick by a race organiser who is a gentlemanly volunteer (and who pays hard dollars for a weeks "holiday" to have the "privilege" of making sure the KAC-Martini race is conducted on behalf of many hundreds of skiers). I witnessed Nick give every appearance of understanding and accepting an outcome that all parties felt was unfortunate.
That Alan Hislop afforded Nick an unofficial start recognises his status in the very small X-C community. The same smallness of the community should also see some respect for the volunteers who put on races such as KAC Martini. Skiers must exercise a bit of self-discipline themselves, and hopefully this whole affair is a timely reminder to Juniors and Seniors alike - GET YOUR ENTRIES IN AND ABIDE THE RULES. No person has yet explained to me why race officials should be beholden to the varying circumstances of would-be race entrants. There were 370 entrants in the 1999 KAC Martini. That is a lot of personal circumstances to consider - if one wants to argue equity to its fullest extent.
3. RACE ORGANISATION IN GENERAL - The ski racing community is a small one, with races run by arguably Australia's most dedicated volunteers (who else would pay so much in $ and time to be so cold and wet ?). At an entry fee around $15, the Martini is one of the most affordable sporting events in Australia - as cheap as the average community fun run and a whole lot harder to put on. X-C'ers need to bear this in mind.
At the end of the day, we would all like to have seen everyone seeded and entered to their satisfaction and X-C Files can be assured KAC Martini is reviewing the stated rules to examine if there is a better way for the 2000 race.
At the end of the day however, it is the lack of self discipline upon individual skiers, not the officials, that has resulted in the events of the 1999 KAC Martini described as "seeding problems" that "marred" the event. After 15 years of competitive sport (and X-C Coaching), from Ironman Triathlon to local swimming races I have learned the hard way that it is the athlete who is responsible for ensuring they comply with stated rules. 1999 KAC Martini organisers did what they could to assist skiers, but it cuts both ways and it is interesting that in every instance of alleged "injustice" the organisers were simply doing what they very clearly said they would do.

Sulthan Movie Review: Bad villains and forced messaging stifle a great premise
"At the foundation of this film is the almost mythical relationship between Sulthan and his uncles, with there being half-hearted attempts to show these men of violence some empathetic understanding. The same film that argues for their humanity, also keeps undercutting it by showing them as creatures driven by bloodlust. In one scene, they are all sleeping, but the mere whiff of a blood drop is enough to get them all aroused. Sulthan is also often shown whipping about his beloved uncles, like they were cattle to be shepherded."
Teddy movie review: The teddy is alive, the film not so much
"I wish Teddy had remained content with being a drama about a man and his newfound, strange companion, a teddy bear called Sri. Unfortunately, the film would rather be a thriller, one that is tasked with the difficult, mirthless topic of illegal organ trade. Was this genre chosen so any comparisons with the English film, Ted, could be easily shrugged off?"
Selvaraghavan: I hope to make films till my last breath
"I owe it all to cable television. It did not matter if I was beaten up at home for wasting time on it; I would sit and watch the same films over and over again on channels like Star Movies. I was addicted. I was intoxicated by what I was watching. Cinema is an irreplaceable teacher. After everyone at home slept, I would watch cable television all night long, the volume barely high enough for me to hear what was going on."
Nenjam Marappathillai Movie Review: A twisted dark comedy that works brilliantly in patches
"SJ Suryah plays this character with much charismatic relish that it got me thinking about whether the same praise that's generally accorded to subtlety in performance is generally accorded to such exaggerated portrayal. The actor is a fantastic fit in the Selvaraghavan universe. His face is dry and stoic one minute, and in contorted fury, the next. He hams it up without inhibition, and with such conviction that you ask no questions when he takes to mimicking the late Sivaji Ganesan in dialogue delivery."

Learning center made of recycled plastic to rise in Davao City
A children's learning center made out of repurposed plastics will soon rise in the far-flung village of Marilog district here.
Called Eco-brick Project, it aims to highlight the importance of reducing wastes — especially single use plastics like water bottles, sachets and candy wrappers — and help the government in managing solid wastes.
Hannah Chloe Cano, vice president for Business JCI-Duwaling and chairperson for the Eco-brick Project, said the initiative is in line with their advocacy to help reduce waste in urban areas. The project is a joint venture of Junior Chamber International (JCI)-Duwaling, SM City Davao and Plastic Solution.
Cano said JCI-Duwaling will collect the plastics to prevent these from going to the sea that could harm the marine creatures or clog waterways that cause flooding.
"We will continue and help the government's campaign in taking care of the environment, our city and our community even in the simplest way we can," she said.
Cano said JCI is also conducting eco-brick workshops every Saturday that started on Saturday (March 9) to encourage others to collect plastics and help build the learning center.
JCI Duwaling started the initiative to repurpose plastic bottles by stuffing it with non-biodegradable wastes. For hard plastics like egg containers, disposable spoon, fork, and container will be cut down into smaller pieces to fit into the bottle.
The bottles will become simple, alternative fillers in constructing walls and fences for classrooms, houses, benches, library, etc.
"We encourage the students and the public to participate as we intend to collect some 81,000 eco-bricks at the end of the campaign on March 30," she said.
By April, Cano said their group hopes to complete the learning center at Sitio Magwawa in Marilog, this city as the center will also serve as a daycare center and reading nook especially for the Indigenous Peoples children.

Prince William and Kate's summer tour announced
By Sharnaz Shahid
Kensington Palace has announced that the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are to undertake an official visit to Poland and Germany. The royal couple will tour the two European countries in July this year at the request of the Foreign and Commonwealth Office. It was recently revealed that Prince William and Kate will make an official two-day visit to Paris later this month.
ALL THE PHOTOS FROM WILL & KATE'S TOUR OF CANADA
It hasn't been announced whether Prince George and Princess Charlotte will accompany them. The royal children were the centre of attention when William and Kate visited Canada last September. The trip was Charlotte's first ever official tour abroad, while her older brother has previously accompanied his parents on a trip to Australia and New Zealand in 2014.

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are to undertake an official visit to Poland and Germany this year
The trip will mark William and his wife's first official visit to the French capital since his mother Princess Diana's tragic death, twenty years ago. They will spend two days in the city - March 17 and 18 - undertaking various engagements including a reception for young French leaders from a variety of fields and a formal black tie dinner at the residence of Her Majesty's Ambassador. They will also make an appearance at the Wales v France Six Nations test at the Stade de France.
Why Prince William and Duchess Kate rarely hold hands
Although this is the Duke and Duchess's first official visit to Paris, William has since been to the city for football and rugby matches as well as various unofficial trips. The father-of-two was just 15 and his brother Prince Harry was 12, when Princess Diana was killed in a car crash in Paris on 31 August 1997. Earlier, this year it was announced that the Princes have set up a committee to commission and privately raise funds for a statue of the late Princess of Wales to be placed in the public gardens at Kensington Palace.

SPORTSCLOPEDIA 19: FLOYD MAYWEATHER JR. VS. MANNY PACQUIAO REVISITED PART I
By Maloney L. Samaco
Floyd Mayweather Jr. vs. Manny Pacquiao is called the "Fight of the Century" or the "Battle for Greatness" and was a megabuck super showdown between undefeated five-division world champion Floyd Mayweather Jr. and eight-division world champion Manny Pacquiao.
The superfight happened on May 2, 2015, at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Paradise, Nevada. The titles at stake were the WBA (Unified), WBC, WBO, and The Ring welterweight titles.
Nickname Money
Hometown Grand Rapids, Michigan, U.S.A.
Pre-fight record 47–0 (26 KOs)
Height 5 ft 8 in (173 cm)
Weight 146 lb (66 kg)
Style Orthodox
Nickname Pac-Man
Hometown General Santos City, Philippines
Pre-fight record 57–5–2 (38 KOs)
Height 5 ft 5+1⁄2 in (166 cm)
Style Southpaw
Mayweather was the WBA (Unified), WBC, and The Ring welterweight champion and the WBA (Super), WBC, and The Ring light middleweight champion. He was The Ring No. 1 pound-for-pound fighter. Pacquiao was the WBO welterweight champion and The Ring No. 3 pound-for-pound fighter.
It took 5 years, 50 days when the fight finally took place since March 13, 2010, the day of the original scheduled of the fight before negotiations failed over disagreements on drug-testing issues.
The ages during their fight: Mayweather, 38, and Pacquiao, 36. The age difference between them was 1 year, 9 months, 24 days.
Prior to the fight, the most consecutive fights Mayweather won by KO or TKO is 7, from 1997 to 1998. The number of fights Mayweather fought since the last time he stopped an opponent was 5. That was with a KO of Victor Ortiz in 2011, but the KO was executed when Ortiz had mistakenly dropped his guard after a head-butt. Mayweather's last "real" KO was 8 fights earlier over Ricky Hatton in 2007.
The most consecutive fights Pacquiao won by KO or TKO was 13, from 1997 to 2001. The number of fights Pacquiao fought since the last time he stopped an opponent was 9. It was a TKO win over Miguel Cotto in 2009.
Before the superfight, Pacquiao's record when fighting at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas was 7-3-1. His losses were dealt by Juan Manuel Marquez (2012), Timothy Bradley (2012) and Erik Morales (2005). The draw was with Marquez in 2004.
Mayweather's record at the MGM Grand was 13-0. The superfight was his 11th consecutive fight in the venue, starting from his split decision win over Oscar De La Hoya in 2007. His first fight there was a unanimous decision over Gregorio Vargas in 2000.

India, Pakistan and Saudi Arabia represent very different cultures. What is anti-modern about all three phenomena noted in the article is the use of threats or actual violence against an undesired social phenomenon, the adoption of Valentine's Day.
Let us note that many Hindu radicals were among the foremost resistance to the suspension of civil liberties in India during Prime Minister Indira Gandhi's Emergency, 1975-77. These people are for elections, democracy and for women's education. They are for social equality and at least part of the rhetoric against them is because their programs innoculate people against the depredations of Christian missionaries. Let me say unequivocally that the Shiv Sena is wrong in the way it opposes Valentine's Day. The irony regarding India is that the British colonial rule forced India into a Victorian straitjacket, that was the Kiplingesque burden of civilizing the natives; and now again, India is being asked to follow Western mores or be considered "anti-modern".
To move onto Pakistan. The Basant (spring) festival was celebrated by the people of Punjab long before the arrival of Islam; and Muslims there have been celebrating it at least since the time of Amir Khusro (13th century). Now there is a move among Islamic groups to have the celebration of the festival ban, and various religious leaders have issued opinions against it, calling the festival obscene and against Islam. Now rejection of a centuries' old custom is not anti-modernism; it is in line with the rejection of Valentine's Day, too. It is probably an attempt to get to a pristine Islam.
About Saudi Arabia what little I know makes me wonder why America even keeps diplomatic relations with such a country. The sole difference between the Taliban and Saudis is that the Taliban did not have oil; and the Taliban did not wear business suits or put on a facade to cozy up to America. So I will not speculate on their motives.

The Range Rover PHEV will float your boat
We've been on a voyage of discovery to Rosyth to find out about the hybrid technologies powering the latest Range Rovers and a Royal Navy aircraft carrier. It's all very impressive stuff.
Maggie Barry

QUESTION: What do the 65,000-tonne aircraft carrier the Prince of Wales currently being built at Rosyth and the new Range Rover PHEV have in common?
Answer: They are both hybrids. The Prince of Wales is propelled by four electric motors powered by four 15,000hp diesel generators (and two Rolls-Royce gas turbines for a bit of extra torque when needed).
And the Range Rover and Range Rover Sport use a 2.0-litre petrol engine mated to a 85kW electric motor delivering 404hp.
And there the similarity more or less ends. But since Jaguar Land Rover support both the Prince of Wales and its sister ship, the Queen Elizabeth, they reckoned it might be interesting to drive one hybrid in order to go and inspect the other, slightly bigger one.
This is Land Rover's first venture into plug-in hybrid electric technology and likely to be watched closely by all those who love – nay adore – their big beasts. The PHEV will give them, with judicial use of the electric motor, up to 101mpg – a figure not to be sneezed at.

Of course, Jaguar have already been hugely successful with the I-PACE so now it is up to Land Rover to convince their expectant customers that a hybrid can give them the power and performance they have come to expect from their Rangie.
The beauty of both cars – the Range Rover and the Sport – is that, to all intents and purposes, they look exactly the same whether with a straight internal combustion set-up or a hybrid system. The only difference is that, if you look closely, you can spot the charging point under the badge on the front grille.
Both come with 21in wheels, a panoramic roof, signature headlights and the strong, handsome body shape associated with Range Rover.
Inside the Autobiography version that I drove on the tourist route from Glasgow to Rosyth was beautiful Satin Straight Walnut veneer – a matte wood finish with Autobiography design details – and perforated leather seats.
It has a command dial on the centre console for different gear changes while the Sport uses a conventional gearstick.
The Range Rover Sport PHEV interior (Image: Land Rover)
Significantly, both have an EV button so that you can save electric power for driving sympathetically in towns and cities and use the traditional engine on the open road or in parallel with the electric motor for extra boost.
It has a 31-mile range in electric mode only and can travel at speeds of up to 85mph. Regenerative braking can top up the battery. It is odd but compelling to drive silently in a Range Rover but the boost when you put your foot down from both units is exceptional.
It has great power but with all the superb handling you expect coming from systems such as the dynamic stability control, cornering brake control, roll stability control and electronic traction control.
The power on board the Prince of Wales is used in a series fashion. The four generators – two forward and two aft – can also each be used separately. Engineer Chris McIlroy, of the Aircraft Carrier Alliance, described them as "Islands of Power".

He said: "This is a warship that needs to keep going irrespective of what damage might occur. One of the key challenges we had was to build in a level of redundancy and sustainability in a war situation.
"We still need to provide as much power as we can at those times to propel the ship onwards and at times as fast as possible."
Indeed, this new breed of aircraft carrier will take us into the middle of this century and it was described by Commander Mark Fitzsimmons as "the most advanced aircraft carrier in the world".
It is two and a half times the size of its predecessor, the Invincible, and is due to be fully operational in 2023 when it will accommodate 36 of the new F-35B fighter jets as well as four Crowsnest helicopters that replace the venerable Sea Kings.
The hangar alone can hold 23 F-35B Lightning fighter aircraft, with 13 more upstairs on the flight deck, and is packed with technology to get them out and up as soon as possible.

This includes two lifts that can take two jets at a time, 10 aviation fuelling points and four weapons lifts. The 920ft-long flight deck, unlike American carriers, which are flat, has a steep rake at one end.
The purpose of this feature is to – literally – throw the fighter aircraft into the sky, giving them an extra five per cent of height and better weapon and fuel carrying capability. "This is returning us to a scale we haven't seen for a long time," said a quietly proud Commander Fitzsimmons.
"The size, capability and complexity of the Prince of Wales make this ship an exceptional hi-tech piece of kit." It is a truly remarkable vessel and the latest to emerge from Scotland's proud history of shipbuilding.
It cost – along with the Queen Elizabeth – £6.2billion. A Range Rover will come in at a bit less – £87,600 for the main model in Vogue rising to £106,500 for the Autobiography and from £72,185 for the Sport in HSE trim to £85,785 for the Sport Autobiography Dynamic.
Peter Wright, engineering manager of the Range Rover PHEV, points out that his baby can trace its lineage back to the 1960s and the first Range Rovers.

And the hybrid is in no way limited because of its powertrain. It is as capable and broad-shouldered as its full-fat brothers, with systems such as all-wheel drive, hill descent and low traction launch.
It comes with the kind of safety and luxury features Range Rover are famous for as well as the hi-tech infotainment system. Amazingly, there's even a socket for a domestic plug. I like that.
"This is the premium SUV brand offering performance luxury and refinement and its DNA is now mixed with modern technology offering fantastic efficiency," said Peter Wright. "The electric motor minimises emissions and maximises range."
The 13.1kWh battery powering the electric motor can be fully charged in two hours and 45 minutes on a fast charge or simply plug it in overnight at your home.
One thing for which Peter Wright will be grateful is that by using the electric motor skillfully, you will scarcely need to visit a filling station in a week. By contrast, Chris McIlroy on board the Prince of Wales needs 500,000 litres just to start his engines. Hope he has a Tesco card.

Though Love Songs (aka Les Chansons d'Amour) is not a film operetta per se, director Christophe Honoré and composer/lyricist/vocalist Alex Beaupain use that film to pay homage to the French movie musical as conceived by Jacques Demy in his classic Les Parapluies de Cherbourg (1967). The Honoré film concerns a series of hopelessly romantic Parisian characters who are unable to convey their feelings to one another in everyday situations, and who thus use musical numbers as outlets -- as vehicles of emotional expression. Beaupain composed the score; a number of the songs that are included appeared on one of his solo albums. The individual stories covered in the film tell age-worn tales as old as time: the loss of love, the discovery of new love, the impossibility of mutual love.
