Achieving sustainable development from the ground up means implementing good land governance, recognising and enabling stakeholder agency, and improving tenure security for all. Secure tenure is fundamental to sustainability: underpinning food security, reducing forced displacement, protecting landscapes, reducing carbon emissions, empowering women and increasing household incomes.
The importance of access to and security of land and natural resource user rights has been recognised in the incorporation of Sustainable Development Goal 1.4 requiring
"that all men and women, in particular the poor and the vulnerable, have equal rights to economic resources, as well as access to basic services, ownership and control over land and other forms of property, inheritance, natural resources, appropriate new technology and financial services, including microfinance."
Meeting this call, LEI's core business is to provide world renowned expertise in assessing, designing, and reforming land administration systems.
We recognise that secure tenure doesn't simply mean 'titling'. It means equitable access by all stakeholders to decision-making spaces, accessible information management systems in place with local capacity to maintain, and appropriate public awareness. Secure tenure means efficient land administration service delivery, recognition of all tenure arrangements across all landscapes, and the development and implementation of sound and inclusive policy and legal frameworks. Furthermore, it means the integration of land and related spatial data within the wider formal economy and market systems, as the future basis for smart cities and navigating responsible land investments and development.
Land administration system contexts may vary considerably between dense, infrastructure-heavy, and urban environments, compared with low-density coastal, semi-arid pastoral lands or communally managed forest areas. In all cases, fit for purpose solutions are essential, which inclusively consider vulnerable populations, and appropriate technology use.
LEI offers a comprehensive range of services to tackle all aspects of the land administration system in search of providing long-term and sustainable solutions:
Legislative and policy reviews and drafting for relevant law and policy solutions
Institutional and organisational review, change management and strategic planning for institutional strengthening
Review and specifications for establishing registration and recording systems of all tenure types
Procedures and implementation of systematic registration and regularisation
System improvement through business process re-engineering
Comprehensive surveying and mapping solutions (including geodetic control, cadastral survey and mapping, procurement specs and technology transfer, training and capacity building)
Land use planning, spatial planning and GIS design and preparations for technical and policy-use purposes
Community participation and awareness (community mapping and profiling, community participation, public awareness campaigns, gender and information, education and communication)
Establishment of dispute resolution mechanisms, grievance redress and compensation systems.
Design, build and management of programs that employ risk mitigation measures and resource responsiveness, particularly during disasters.
Policy and practice efforts are required at all levels from global market investors, across every level of government, and down to citizen level, if we are to have an impact and
"increase the proportion of the total adult population with secure tenure rights to land, with legally recognized documentation and for those who perceive their rights to land as secure, by sex and by type of tenure" (SDG 1.4.2).

On Monday 7th October Directors at CAFOD, Christian Aid and Tearfund came and spoke to encourage and pray for protestors on Lambeth Bridge, which had been declared the Faith Bridge. By Monday evening, police had cleared the bridge, arresting Christian, Buddhist and Muslim leaders engaged in peaceful, non-violent civil disobedience.
The 'Faith Bridge' then moved to Trafalgar Square, where the Muslim call to prayer, Buddhist meditation, Quaker worship, Christian Eucharists, and Jewish building of the Succah continued throughout the week, each an expression of the call to care for creation at the heart of each faith.
The Anglican Bishops of Chelmsford and Liverpool joined protestors on the square, with Bishop Paul Bayes leading 20 vicars in reading the complete book of Revelation from the Bible, while Churches across London and the Jamyang Buddhist Centre in Lambeth provided space for protestors to sleep.
Throughout the week people of faith who's faith compelled them to non-violent civil disobedience continued to be arrested, including priests and nuns, perhaps none more poignant than the arrests of a 91 year old Quaker, John, and 83 year old Christian, Phil. Others continued in prayer, meditation and witness. On Monday 14th the arrest most widely covered in the media was that of 77 year old Rabbi Jeffrey Newman , longstanding member of the Faith for the Climate Network and founder of Jews for Climate Action. Rabbi Newman, the first Rabbi ever to be arrested in the UK, said "It's impossible, at least for me, to read the Bible of Prophets without recognising how much we're rooted in the Earth, in social justice, in an awareness of the world around us, and, attempting to give all that we have on its behalf seems to me the highest calling towards God … if it takes an arrest to help to galvanise public opinion, then it is certainly worth being arrested."
As the Met Police imposed a Section 14 ban on XR protests across the whole of London, people faith led a late night march past Downing Street to call for our continued right to draw attention to the climate crisis. Media coverage of the witness of people of faith during the rebellion was widespread including in the Jewish News, the Telegraph, the Mirror, the Evening Standard, the Guardian, the Church Times , Christian Today , and Belfast Live, among many others. This podcast from XR includes the voices of many people of faith.

We recommend that when you are searching for a quality puppy or kitten, you visit the kennel or cattery, examine one or both of the parents, and ask lots of questions of the breeder.

Time to steal that Jlo Glow
2020 has *finally* brought along some good news for us - Jennifer Lopez has announced that she's launching her own beauty line. Our favourite 90s pop sensation took to Instagram to share a teaser, posting a sun-kissed selfie captioned "Sunset glow...#JLoBeauty coming soon."
Sunset glow... #JLoBeauty coming soon
A post shared by Jennifer Lopez (@jlo) on Aug 23, 2020 at 5:49pm PDT
No stranger to the beauty industry, JLo already owns a fragrance line, and has collaborated with beauty giants like Inglot to create special edition make-up ranges. Her own beauty label has been in the works for a while now, and if you were paying attention, you would have noticed her dropping some serious hints about it too. Reports suggest that there's a lot of skincare stuff coming our way – everything from creams, serums and masks. But judging by her photo, make-up (presumably in bronzed, sunset hues) may be thrown in the mix too, and we're obviously not complaining about it.
A post shared by Jennifer Lopez (@jlo) on Aug 9, 2020 at 9:15am PDT
With this new announcement, she joins a long list of celebrities who have launched their own beuaty brands – Rihanna's Fenty Beauty and Fenty Skin, Selena Gomez's Rare (we can't wait to see what this looks like), Jessica Alba's Honesty Beauty, to name a few. These products from these brands have been promising, and we can't wait to find out what 'Jenny From The Block' has in store for us. All we know is that like millions of fans worldover, we're super excited for it. It may take a while to get to our hands, but anything that helps us steal that JLo glow is definitely worth the wait.

Unemployment dole, the new mantra
3 min read . Updated: 16 Dec 2012, 08:52 PM IST Anil Padmanabhan
It is worrying that the proposed political palliative to the vexing issue of lack of jobs will in no way resolve the structural crisis in employment. Photo: Hindustan Times
(Hindustan Times)
Offering unemployment dole is rapidly becoming the norm in every state assembly election
In the run-up to the February-March assembly elections in Uttar Pradesh, the Samajwadi Party (SP) promised an unemployment dole as part of its election manifesto. It may or may not have contributed to the SP's record win, but anecdotally it is well established that the proposal went down well with the young, who are now rapidly forming more than a significant chunk of the electorate across the country.
Since then, not surprisingly, it is rapidly becoming the norm with every state assembly election seeing other political parties making similar offers; both in Himachal Pradesh and Gujarat, every political party, including the two national parties, the Bharatiya Janata Party and the Congress, promised an unemployment dole in their manifestos. It is likely the trend will endure and by the onset of the next general election, due in 2014, with much more at stake, it is more than likely that all political parties will embrace it at a national level.
The good news is that finally the issue of jobs, rather the lack of jobs, is getting the overt political attention it deserves—obviously not in the way it should have but welcome nonetheless. The bad news is that the solution is not financially sustainable and will only ensure that the already overburdened exchequer will hurtle faster over the fiscal cliff.
More worrying is the fact that the proposed political palliative to the vexing issue of lack of jobs will in no way resolve the structural crisis in employment. Not only does the Indian economy not generate enough jobs to absorb the 12 million people added to the workforce every year, its populace, more worryingly, is not even equipped to do a job even if it was on offer.
Capital Calculus has in the past flagged that the data put out by the National Sample Survey Office (NSSO) has shown that in the period of record growth between 2004-05 and 2009-10, the economy is estimated to have generated only a million jobs, compared to nearly 60 million in the previous five years. Similarly, the quality of these jobs is questionable with the same data indicating a growing trend of hiring casual workers. Between 2004-05 and 2009-10, the number of casual workers increased by 21.9 million while growth in the number of regular workers nearly halved (compared with the period between 1999-2000 and 2004-05) to 5.8 million.
Now data included in the 12th Plan draft posted on the Planning Commission's website reveals an even more worrying trend. Quoting NSSO data, the draft reveals how abysmally ill-equipped India's workforce is. As the adjoining graphic (Pyramid of Power) reveals, of the estimated total workforce of about 420 million at the end of March 2010, nearly a fourth is not literate and a similar proportion has been educated until the primary stage—in effect, about one in two members of the workforce are either not-literate or semi-literate.
And for a country whose workforce is identified as its asset, it is frightening to learn that the best equipped—graduates and above—aggregate a mere 8.7 million—or 2.1% of the workforce. Not only are they too few, it also reveals how skewed the country's educational qualifications are and, consequently, what little chance the bulk of the workforce has to exploit the opportunities that have been generated after the stupendous run that has powered the Indian economy to an enviable size of $1.8 trillion.
In other words, most of India's workforce would find accessing an unemployment dole, now that it is on offer, far easier than landing a regular job. (Indeed demeaning, given that most have signalled that they would rather be taught how to fish than be given fish.) So political parties need to rethink this version of cash for votes—neither will it be a sufficient safety net nor can this political quick fix be sustained. Fiscal rectitude is not the responsibility of the finance minister alone.

Everything is in motion, life in an eternal flux. My art is in pursuit of that
constant movement, as I navigate the colours, scents, shapes and
textures of my daily existence. My source material is all around me and
it seeps into my subconscious as I go about my day, ultimately finding
its voice in paintings that seem to be a never-ending storyboard.
I work in series, inspiration trapping me into cycles of images that once
exhausted inevitably lead to another existential rabbit hole.
Life pulsates all around, vibrating with colour and sound, all of which
dictates my compositions as well as my palette. Movement is at the core
of all I do, human figures oscillate against undulating shapes reflected in
wet pavement. Nature, as much as urban scenes, brings myriad images
into my inner eye in a vibrant procession of images as yet undiscovered.
I work fast, almost compulsively, the composition taking shape beyond
my conscious control, the colours and shapes finding their own place
within it, and I know it is done when the insistent energy that drives my
brush subsides, and all is quiet again. The painting is complete.
I am inspired by the human condition as much as I am by the pure
aesthetic of life, all the time attuned to the spirit that weaves through it
all, finding expression in art that is my way of communicating.
Most recently my artistic passion has manifested in a digital form. The transferable skills of fine art painting has lend them well to my creation of hand drawn ipad animation. The final images are made available as mixed media on canvas. My most recent series is called, Complicated love. A new contemporary style of intricately created hearts against abstract backgrounds.
Born in Canada, Kevin Jenne knew from an early age he wanted to be an artist.
Inspired and encouraged by both his mother, whose refined drawings garnered her numerous prizes, and his larger-than-life uncle, a self-taught artist with an
exceptional talent, Jenne soon developed his unique style. From his early works
reminiscent of stained glass windows, and series of works inspired by architectural motifs and musicians, to his stylized landscapes, and shimmering, teeming with life street scenes. Jenne favours vibrant, luminescent colours against a black background, echoing a childhood memory of creating together with his mother a church tapestry with votive symbols on black velvet. As is the rite of passage for any serious artist, Jenne went to France where he immersed himself in the works of great masters, exploring the many museums of Paris and imbuing him with an even greater creative impulse. The period between 1995 and 2000 saw that ardour put into work, resulting in four solo exhibitions and several group shows in Montreal.
The success of his paintings was instantaneous, with a sale at the prestigious
Waddington's Gallery in Toronto. Between 2006 and 2008, Jenne's art began to be appreciated outside of Canada, and he was invited to show at Le Sans Souci gallery in New York City, and in 2007, he was selected to participate in a group exhibition in Beijing, China, in conjunction with the Canadian Embassy. Jenne's contemporary style lends itself to numerous applications, and in 2009, the Carone winery featured one of his paintings on the label of their limited edition wine, Joie, which was launched at an art show at Klimantaris Art Gallery. Jenne is an impressively prolific artist, a restless and curious observer of life, but also a keen participant in it via his art. In 2010, one of his works elicited a bid of $20,000, with all the proceeds going to the Tim Horton's Children's Foundation. Jenne combines his creative spirit with astute business acumen, finding unusual ways of disseminating his works. He co-founded Splurge Art Gallery in Bucerias, Mexico and had two solo shows, with one of his paintings gracing the cover of the November issue of Bay Vallerta magazine. He has also collaborated on a variety of artistic projects with corporations such as Mechatronics and ABB Group. Jenne thrives on public reaction and often enjoys
painting live during special events, thus continually widening his circle of art lovers.

Puppy socialization parties sideline aggression

Karen and Dick Larese often foster puppies from the La Plata County Humane Society, giving them back when the puppies are 8 weeks old and eligible for adoption. But about a year ago, when they were fostering Penny, a 6-week-old border collie mix, they were so concerned by her timid behavior that they decided to adopt her themselves.
"Penny was afraid of people, of everything," Karen Larese says. "I was concerned that if we brought her back to the pound, she'd be lost in the shuffle."
The Lareses brought Penny to Alpha Canine Academy near Elmore's Corner not just for obedience classes, but for the free puppy socialization classes held on the expansive property each Thursday at 5 p.m. Dogs up to a year old have an hour to frolic off leash together in a yard filled with energetic pups and their owners"The more we exposed her to things, the more comfortable she became," Larese says. "Coming here and seeing the other dogs and learning what's acceptable behavior and what's over the line … it worked. She's turned into the dog that we hoped she would."
Most experts agree that young dogs benefit from interaction with other dogs and people, or "socialization," in the first year of life. The work helps them avoid becoming aggressive as adults and following the path many aggressive dogs take to the shelter.
"I've got a whole shelter full of aggressive dogs," says Anna Anderson, executive director of Annie's Orphans, Durango's no-kill dog shelter.
It is "practically impossible" to adopt out aggressive dogs because most Durangoans want to be able to take their dogs off leash at the river or dog park, Anderson says. While she has a trainer who works with the dogs to tame their aggressive tendencies, it's a slow process. The simpler solution is to socialize them when they're puppies.
"It's imperative," Anderson says. "It really starts them out on the right foot."
Julie Winkelman is the lead trainer and owner of Alpha Canine Academy, which started offering free puppy socialization sessions about a year ago.
"I offer it free because it's so important," Winkelman says. "You have to socialize. More dogs lose their lives because of lack of socialization than lack of health care."
More than a dozen people bring their puppies to Alpha Canine Academy each Thursday to romp in the yard with one another. The puppy pen is for the very young, shy dogs that might not be ready to charge around the yard with the bigger dogs. But soon, most of them are eager to sample the yard's agility hoops and tunnel, splash in the kiddie pool, sit for treats from humans – and of course, play with other dogs.
If a puppy gets too riled up, Winkelman, trainer Toleda Cluff or apprentice Traci Moriarty are quick to give the pooch a time out. Well-behaved pups are rewarded with Zuke's treats, which are donated by the local company.

Though the socialization hour is free, Winkelman suggests attendees donate $5 to Dogster's Spay and Neuter Program, a Durango-based nonprofit that provides low-cost spay and neuter services in La Plata County. Socialization hour has raised $1,380 so far this year.
The year has seen other success stories, like Sister, now a 7-month-old blue heeler who was very submissive and fearful when Bayfield residents Ron and Cindy Hale adopted her at seven weeks. Ron says the socialization hour at Alpha Canine Academy has made "a tremendous difference in her life." When she first came, Sister would lie on the ground and the other dogs would jump on her, so she had to stay in the puppy pen. But she gradually grew accustomed to being around other dogs, and now she plays with the other puppies or roams the fence line, unconcerned with their presence.
"The word should go out that everybody with a dog should do this," Hale says.
Recently, another weekly puppy socialization hour began in Durango. At the end of August, Juliet Whitfield, owner and trainer at Durango Dogs, began offering a "Puppy Party" on Saturdays at 11 a.m. at the Rec Center – and she plans to keep it going year-round.
"It's so important," Whitfield says. "Dogs that learn how to be really comfortable with other dogs when they're young will keep that for life."
Meeting on the west side of the Rec Center at the Splash Pad on clear evenings, or inside the Twilight Room when it rains or snows, the socialization hour is open to dogs up to a year old. The $6 fee (or five sessions for $25) offsets the cost of space rental.
Whitfield is assisted by Vivienne Bell, who brings her mellow Scottie, Sarge, to introduce some calm energy into the fray. It can be useful (but not always effective) with so many excited puppies. At the Sept. 15 socialization, a chocolate Lab named Charlie decided to "dig" in the shared water bowl, splashing water in every direction – then peed in the bowl, eliciting a huge laugh from the gathered owners.
Sarah Guinther brought her 5-month-old German shepherd mix, Alice, to a Rec Center puppy party and liked seeing so many puppies playing together.
"The whole pack mentality when they get together is pretty awesome," Guinther says. "It was super fun."
She said it was also informative, because Whitfield instructs owners on how to read body language, and understand if a dog needs to be removed from a situation.
John and Edy Zwierzycki are regulars at the Rec Center puppy parties because they want to socialize their 5-month-old Golden Retriever, Sage.
"She's had a lot of fun," John Zwierzycki says of Sage. "Puppy time does make her sleep well at night and give us a break as well – puppies are challenging!"
Zwierzycki highly recommends the puppy socialization hour, with one suggetion: "The only thing that would make it better would be a cash bar."
For more information, contact Juliet Whitfield at 382-2542 or www.DurangoDogs.com. Alpha Canine Academy can be reached at www.AlphaCanineAcademy.com or 382-5937. Beginning on Oct. 28, Alpha Canine Academy will meet at Healthy Hounds and Fat Cats at 6 p.m. Both puppy socialization hours require owners to bring their pet's shot records. •


Here is an easy way to learn weather a given number is divisible by another. Traditional division method will take too much time for big numbers but if you know this divisibility rules and tricks than it will be much easier and on a test, no chance of getting wrong.This rules will defiantly help you doing fast and effective calculation(Mental Math) in the future.
The last digit of the given number should be even. That means the number should end in 0, 2, 4, 6 and 8.
Example: Is 1875494 divisible by 2?
Last digit is 4 and it is even number so this fat number 1875494 is divisible by 2. No need of doing big Division:) pretty easy huh..
Example: Is 2742204 divisible by 3?
Add up all the digits that is 2+7+3+4+2+2+0+4=24. 24 is divisible by (8×3)/3 so this number 2742204 is divisible by 3 as well.
Example: Is 8763424 divisible by 4?
Check the last 2 digits, that is 24 and 24 is divisible by (4×6) /3 so this big number 8763424 is divisible by 4.
Example: Is 498730 divisible by 5?
Example: Is 285 divisible by 5?
The last digit is 5 so 285 is divisible by 5. Very very easy to remember, isn't it?
The rule for checking whether a number is divisible by 6 is quite tricky.
Example: Is 2742204 divisible by 6?
The last digit in 2742204 is 4 and it is even number. Add up all the digits so 2+7+3+4+2+2+0+4=24. 24 is divisible by 3 . this number 2742204 satisfy both the rules (2 &3) so it is divisible by 6.
There are 2 methods to check weather a given number is divisible by 7.
Example: Is 434 divisible by 7?
The last digit is 4 so double it (4×2=8). Now subtract 8 from remaining number 43, 43-8=35 and 35 is divisible by 7 (7×5=35). So 434 is also divisible by 7.
otherwise your answer will be wrong . If you still don't understand, then check the example.
2) For 7 or more digits number, repeat this sequence.
3) Add up all. If the sum(total) is divisible by 7 than that big fat number is divisible by 7 as well.
Example: Is 373212 divisible by 7?
2(1)+7(3)+3(2)+2(6)+1(4)+2(5) = 2+21+6+12+4+10 = 56 and 56 is divisible by 7 so this number 373212 is divisible by 7 as well.
1) The last 3 digits should be divisible by 8.
2) A number with three zeros in last 3 digits are always divisible by 8.
Example: Is 3587008 divisible by 8?
Check: the last 3 digits are 008 that means 8 and 8 is divisible by 8 (8×1=8) so 3587008 is divisible by 8.
Example Is 90,000 divisible by 8?
Check: the last 3 digits are 0's so 90,000 is divisible by 8.
2) The last 2 digit (ones and tens) should be divisible by 4.
Example: Is 924 divisible by 8?
Check: 1) the last digit is 4 and it is even number.
2) The last 2 digits are 24 and it is divisible by 4 (4×6=24) so this number 924 should be divisible by 8 but it is not while the number 384 follows this rule so now a days we don't follow 8=4×2 rules.
Example: Is 2742204 divisible by 9?
Add up all the digits that is 2+7+3+4+2+2+0+4=24. 24 is divisible by 9 so this number 2742204 is not divisible by 9.
Example: Is 2742234 divisible by 9?
Add up all the digits: 2+7+3+4+2+2+3+4=27 and 27 is divisible by 9 (9×3=27) so this big fat number 2742234 is divisible by 9.
Example: Is 900 divisible by 10?
2) Subtract rest of the digits and answer should be 0 or divisible by 11. Check the example.
Example: Is 254987 divisible by 11?
Check: Add up every 2nd digit: (5+9+7) – (2+4+8) = 21-14=7 . The answer is not 0 or a multiple of 11 so this number 254987 is not divisible by 11.
Example: Is 558987 divisible by 11?
Check: (5+9+7) – (5+8+8) = 21- 21=0 Answer is 0 so 558987 is divisible by 11.
Method: 12=3×4 so if the number follows the divisibility rules of 3 and 4 is divisible by 12.
Example: Is 834864 divisible by 12?
The last two digits are 64 and it is divisible by (4×16)/3 so this number 834864 is divisible by 12.
This rules are too complicated to understand so it is better to do it with our traditional division method. In case any of you are interested then, just remove the last digit and multiply it (that last digit) with 4 and add to the remaining digits. Do this sequence until only 2 digits remain and those 2 digits should be divisible by 13.
Example Is 1543 divisible by 13?
40 is not divisible by 13 so 1543 is not divisible by 13.
Method: 15=3×5 so number should be divisible by 3 as well as 5. Apply divisibility rule of 3 and 5.
Method: Again it is very complicated, you must have to divide the last 4 digits by 16. and if it is divisible by 16 then any given big number is divisible by 16.
Example: Is 976347648 divisible by 16?
Check: Take the last four digits. 7648 and divide it by 16. answer is 478 so it is divisible by 16 so you can say that this 9 digits number 976347648 is divisible by 16 as well.
2) Subtract it from the rest and if the answer is divisible by 17 then that number is divisible by 17 as well.
Example: Is 765 divisible by 17?
2) Subtract it from the rest that is 76-25=51 and 51 is divisible by ( 17×3=51)/3 so 765 is divisible by 17 as well.
18=2×9 so apply divisibility rule of number 2 and 9.
Method: 1) Double the last digit.
2) Add to the rest of the numbers until you get two or three digit number that should be divisible by 19.
Example: Is 6688 divisible by 19?
Repeat it again: 4×2=8 and add to 68+8=76 and 76 is divisible by 19 so this number 6688 is divisible by 19 as well.
2) The second last digit should be even.
Example: Is 4490 divisible by 20?
Check: The last digit is 0 but the last 2nd digit 9 is not even number so 4490 is not divisible by 20.
Example: Is 654880 divisible by 20?
Check: The last 2 digits are 80 and it is divisible by 20 (20×4=80) so 654880 is divisible by 20 as well.
Note: For 2nd to 7th grade LEARN 1 to 11 divisibility rules and if you are in the advance math learn the rest.
Okay so I hope you liked all of this. So don't get scared when you see all these 'big fat' numbers!
BwTCan Say, you got a nice post.Much thanks again. Keep writing.


Italian artist, best known for his etchings of ancient Roman architecture.
Hind stated the mantle of Piranesi fell upon Rossini. His etchings were characterized in an article in the periodical 'The Connoisseur' (1913 Vol. 35 p.101), as being "vigorous, convincing and imaginative." The shear complexity of producing plates of buildings, ruins, gardens and monuments of this size, with this abundance of architectural scale and contrasting human detail, engraved/etched by hand in reverse into copper, then inking and hand printing, almost boggles the 21st century mind and should be appreciated as truly the work of a masterful artist.
His first series of views were published in 1814. He began his Roman antiquities series in 1819, completing 101 large folio plates which were published in Rome in 1825.


Marilyn Invitation (Castelli Graphics) is a miniature version of Andy Warhol's Marilyn (FS II.30) and was created as an announcement for the exhibition Andy Warhol: A Print Retrospective 1963-1981 on display from November 21 to December 22, 1981 at Castelli Gallery in New York. Along with his pop art images of Brillo boxes and Campbell's soup cans, Warhol created celebrity portraits of famous icons. Most recognizable portraits include Marilyn Monroe and Jane Fonda. Originally printed in the early 1960s, Marilyn became the quintessential icon in the Pop Art Movement and for Warhol.

American football fans will be treated to a star-studded line-up at Monday's NFL UK Live event at the Waterfront Hall in Belfast.
The charity event, sponsored by Subway, will see Sky Sports NFL host Neil Reynolds conduct a Q&A session with some of the biggest names in American football.
On the bill are Super Bowl champion and six-time Pro Bowler Earl Thomas of the Seattle Seahawks and a two-time Pro Bowler in the form of the New York Giants' Landon Collins.
Also in attendance are Baltimore Ravens running back Alex Collins, who gained popularity when he revealed he took up Irish dancing to maintain his fitness, and two-time Super Bowl winning coach Rob Ryan.
The night will see all four quizzed by Reynolds on insider information and game insights you won't get anywhere else, while fans will also get a chance to meet the players afterwards.
"I can't wait to visit Belfast," Seahawks safety Thomas said.
"Neil (Reynolds) has already been in touch to tell me how passionate the Northern Irish fans are about the NFL and I just have to see it for myself."
Ravens running back Collins added: "I consider myself a bit of an Irish dancing expert! It's helped my football career by making me more explosive. I'm certainly looking forward to visiting Belfast to put my dancing skills to the test against the best!"
NFL UK have this year teamed up with Sport Relief and all proceeds from ticket sales will go to the charity.
Tickets are still on sale from Ticketmaster at £7 per person.

The heart is a muscle which pumps blood to the lungs and rest of the body. There are four valves in the heart, and the job of each valve is to make sure that blood flows in the correct direction.
In Valve Replacement Surgery the surgeon will remove the damaged valve and then replace it with an artificial (prosthetic) valve. Valves are the small doors that control the flow of blood between the hearts' chambers. Two kinds of valves are used for valve replacement.
They are made from durable metals, carbon, ceramics, and plastics. In order to attach the valve to the tissues in the patient's heart, a fabric sewing ring is used. The major advantage is longevity.
Animal tissue, either an actual pig valve or a bovine pericardial engineered valve. The human tissue of a donated heart used most often to replace infected valves. A Ross Procedure (also called a Switch Procedure) involves taking the patient's normally functioning pulmonary valve and using it to replace a diseased aortic valve.
Valve stenosis: Valve does not open fully, it will obstruct the flow of blood.
Valve incompetence: Valve does not close properly, it will allow blood to leak backward.
The surgeon will make a cut towards the bottom of your sternum (breastbone) to get direct access to your heart, during traditional heart valve surgery. The surgeon then repairs or replaces your abnormal heart valve or valves. While this approach remains in use, today most patients with isolated valve disease can be treated with minimally invasive techniques.
Minimally invasive surgery performed through smaller incisions. This kind of surgery also reduces blood loss, trauma, and length of hospital stay. Heart valve surgery is the most common procedure that involves fewer incisions. Your surgeon will review your diagnostic tests before your surgery to see if you are a candidate for minimally invasive valve surgery.
This surgery is used most often with adults and children under age 35. This is one of the specialized aortic valve replacement surgery. The procedure involves replacing the patient's diseased aortic valve with the patient's pulmonary valve, called an autograft. The surgeon then replaces the pulmonary valve with a homograft pulmonary valve. That is a pulmonary valve from a human donor. , The Ross Procedure is the best option for active older patients and young people when compared to traditional valve replacement using manufactured prosthetic valves. As compared to prosthetic valves, the pulmonary valve lasts longer. After a few years, the prosthetic valves tend to fail after a few years in younger patients.

Menahan Street Band - Make The Road By Walking LP
Daptone
The Menahan Street Band is a collaboration of musicians from Sharon Jones & the Dap-Kings (Dave Guy, Homer Steinweiss, Fernando Velez, Bosco Mann), El Michels Affair (Leon Michels, Toby Pazner), Antibalas (Nick Movshon, Aaron Johnson) and the Budos Band (Mike Deller, Daniel Fodder), brought together by musician/producer Thomas Brenneck (Sharon Jones & the Dap-Kings, Budos Band, Amy Winehouse) to record hits in the bedroom of his Menahan St. apartment in Bushwick, Brooklyn. With influences reaching beyond the funk/soul/afrobeat architecture of their other projects into the more ethereal realms of Curtis Mayfield and Mulatu Astatke, the Menahan Street Band creates a unique new instrumental soul sound that is as raw as it is lush. Their debut album, Make the Road by Walking will be released on Dunham Records, Brenneck's new imprint of Daptone Records, a joint venture devoted to bringing the Menahan Street sound from Brenneck's bedroom out into the world. The album is marked by eerily quirky arrangements, featuring vibes, horns, piano, organ, percussion and even a strange bling sound that Brenneck creates by tuning and plucking the strings of his guitar on the wrong side of the bridge. However, it is not the textures themselves that make the new sound of Menahan Street so exciting, but rather the way the sounds are incorporated into the heavy rhythms and bold melodies of the compositions.
The title of the album was inspired both by the eponymous community center below Brenneck's apartment and the natural rhythm that has continued to move this project forward. Shortly after its release as Dunham's debut 45rpm single, the song "Make the Road by Walking" was sampled by fellow Brooklynite Jay-Z for his smash hit from American Gangster, "Roc Boys (and the Winner is…)" (later declared by Rolling Stone to be the No. 1 single of 2007).
Make the Road by Walking is a soulful exploration by a talented young group of musicians into the possibilities of instrumental music; an original, personal, and uncompromised creation that embodies the sound of a select group of musicians in one distinct place, at one particular moment in time. "This album is kind of a window into our world on Menahan Street," says Brenneck. "In a way, we're simply the street's unofficial house band."


This blog post is part of a small series focusing on Hebrews 12:12-17. Let's continue looking at some of the spiritual necessities we can learn from these Scriptures.
"Therefore lift your drooping hands and strengthen your weak knees, and make straight paths for your feet, so that what is lame may not be put out of joint but rather be healed. Strive for peace with everyone, and for the holiness without which no one will see the Lord. See to it that no one fails to obtain the grace of God; that no "root of bitterness" springs up and causes trouble, and by it many become defiled; that no one is sexually immoral or unholy like Esau, who sold his birthright for a single meal. For you know that afterward, when he desired to inherit the blessing, he was rejected, for he found no chance to repent, though he sought it with tears," (Hebrews 12:12-17, ESV).
It is a spiritual necessity to choose the right path.
Level paths (or smooth paths) refer to the ways of God (His will for living life). Our ways, the ways of self and sin, are rocky, uneven, dangerous paths.
Do you know Proverbs 3:5-6?
"Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths," (Proverbs 3:5-6, ESV).
What's the key to making our life path straight, level, and smooth? Trust in the Lord. Which means choosing to go His way and not leaning away from Him or going directions based on our own understanding.
The reason it is important to choose God's way, to go on His straight path, is that if you go the way of your own understanding your spiritual and emotional condition can worsen.
"Lame" describes weakened or hurting. When in this condition spiritually you need to "make straight paths." Go God's way because it leads to healing.
But if you don't, it will lead to being "disabled." In this context, it describes a turning away from God that results in more hurt and more pain, instead of healing.
In your spiritual exhaustion, when you feel like it's just not worth it to carry on faithfully in the face of life's hardness – the action to take is to set your feet on God's path. Find His way in the word and follow it, you will come to healing, instead of dislocation.

Jan. 6 hearings open with focus on Trumps' role in Capitol riot
June 9, 2022 Updated Thu., June 9, 2022 at 9:22 p.m.
Attendees at the first public hearing of the House Select Committee to Investigate the January 6th Attack, on Capitol Hill in Washington on Thursday, June 9, 2022. (KENNY HOLSTON/New York Times)
By Luke Broadwater New York Times
WASHINGTON – The House Select Committee to Investigate the Jan. 6 Attack on the U.S. Capitol on Thursday began laying out in meticulous and shocking detail the extent of former President Donald Trump's efforts to overturn the election and keep himself in office, including testimony it has collected that Trump endorsed the hanging of his own vice president as a mob of his supporters descended on Congress.
Opening a landmark set of hearings during an evening session on Capitol Hill, the panel made the case that Trump knew his claims of election fraud were false and proceeded anyway with an unprecedented plot to disrupt the peaceful transfer of power.
"Donald Trump was at the center of this conspiracy," said Rep. Bennie Thompson, D-Miss., chair of the committee. "And ultimately, Donald Trump, the president of the United States, spurred a mob of domestic enemies of the Constitution to march down the Capitol and subvert American democracy."
Using previously unreleased video of testimony from former aides to Trump and even his daughter Ivanka Trump and son-in-law, Jared Kushner, the panel left little doubt about the truth of the former president's actions, which Thompson called "an attempted coup." In doing so, its leaders said they hoped to force the nation to grapple with the reality of a dark chapter in its history, one that is still reverberating.
"Our democracy remains in danger," Thompson said. "Jan. 6 and the lies that led to insurrection have put two and a half centuries of constitutional democracy at risk. The world is watching what we do here."
The session kicked off an ambitious effort by the committee, which was formed in July after Republicans blocked the creation of a nonpartisan commission to investigate the attack, to lay out for Americans the full story of a remarkable assault on U.S. democracy that led to a deadly riot, an impeachment and a crisis of confidence in the political system.
The opening night contained several revelations, perhaps the most damning of which came from Rep. Liz Cheney, R-Wyo., vice chair of the panel. She relayed that the committee had received testimony that when Trump learned of the mob's threats to hang Vice President Mike Pence, he said, "Maybe our supporters have the right idea," adding that Pence "deserves it."
The committee also revealed that several Republican congressmen, including Rep. Scott Perry of Pennsylvania, now the chair of the Freedom Caucus, asked for a presidential pardon after Jan. 6.
Cheney said the panel would lay out how Trump knew he had lost, but "engaged in a massive effort to spread false and fraudulent information to convince huge portions of the U.S. population fraud had stolen the election."
The prime-time hearing, which unfolded in the historic Cannon House Office Building in a hall adorned with Corinthian columns and crystal chandeliers, was the first in a series of at least six planned for this month, during which the panel plans to make public its findings so far.
With a flash of TV savvy, the hearings provide the most high-profile platform yet for the committee to unfurl the complex story it has uncovered and grab the attention of the American public to focus on an episode in which democracy was teetering on the brink.
On Thursday night, the panel began laying out the extraordinary tale of how a sitting president undertook unprecedented efforts to overturn a democratic election and keep himself in power, testing the guardrails of American democracy at every turn. Trump and his allies challenged President Joe Biden's victory in the courts, at statehouses and, finally, in the streets.
When one plan to keep Trump in power failed, they shifted to another. They put forward slates of pro-Trump electors in states won by Biden; they explored the seizure of voting machines; they targeted the removal of the acting attorney general; and, ultimately, when all else failed, they began amassing a mob to march to the Capitol to pressure Trump's own vice president to go along with the plan.
Given the gravity of the threat, the members of the committee see themselves as carrying out a critical and historic function, much as landmark fact-finding committees did before them, investigating the attack on Pearl Harbor in 1941, the assassination of President John F. Kennedy in 1963, the Watergate scandal in 1973 and the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001.
At a time of intense political polarization, members of the panel took pains to back up their assertions with clear evidence, turning frequently to videotaped testimony to drive home their points. When Thompson outlined how Trump had been told repeatedly that there was no election fraud, he added, "Don't believe me?"
Then he turned to a video showing former Attorney General William Barr testifying that he knew the president's claims were false, and told him as much.
Barr then relayed an expletive to the committee's investigators in regards to what he told the president about the claims. "I didn't want to be a part of it."
The committee also played video of a Trump campaign adviser, Jason Miller, and the president's daughter Ivanka Trump acknowledging the same facts.
Later, the panel played a video montage of the brutal attack that unfolded at the Capitol, revisiting the chilling sights and sounds of rioters storming the seat of American government.
Members of the panel promised to reveal evidence that would fundamentally change the public's understanding of a dark day in American history and bring into clearer focus exactly who is to blame.
"It'll change history," predicted Rep. Adam Kinzinger, R-Ill., a member of the committee.
The hearings are unfolding five months before midterm elections in which the Democrats' majority is at stake, at a time when they are eager to draw a sharp contrast between themselves and the Republicans who enabled and embraced Trump, including the members of Congress who abetted his efforts to overturn the 2020 election.
(BEGIN OPTIONAL TRIM.)
The committee was never supposed to exist.
Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., created the panel only after Senate Republicans blocked an independent commission to investigate the violence.
But the committee has investigated deeply and broadly, interviewing more than 1,000 witnesses and accumulated more than 140,000 documents. It has assembled a staff of about 45 employees, including more than a dozen former federal prosecutors and two former U.S. attorneys, and it is spending more than $1.6 million per quarter on its work.
Many Republicans in Congress, whose leaders initially supported the idea of an independent commission, have spent the months since the assault trying to rewrite its history and downplay its severity.
They ramped up their fight Thursday morning, when the party's House leaders took turns at a news conference on Capitol Hill bashing the panel's work as "illegitimate" and a "sham."
"Is Nancy Pelosi going to hold a prime-time hearing on inflation?" Rep. Steve Scalise of Louisiana, the No. 2 Republican, said. "I'd sure like to see that. I think a lot of Americans would. Is Nancy Pelosi going to hold a prime-time hearing on lowering gas prices?"
But the committee said the prime-time venue was needed to try to express to as many Americans as possible just how grave a threat democracy faced.
"The conspiracy to thwart the will of the people is not over," Thompson warned. "There are those in this country who thirst for power but have no love or respect for what makes America great."
(END OPTIONAL TRIM.)
Four officers who defended the Capitol and suffered injuries watched the hearing, one wearing a shirt with the definition of the word "insurrection" on it. Gladys Sicknick, the mother of Brian Sicknick, a Capitol Police officer who died after fighting off the mob, also attended.
They were there in part out of support for the testimony of a Capitol Police officer, Caroline Edwards, who was injured as rioters breached barricades and stormed into the building.
The hearing also featured the testimony of a documentary filmmaker, Nick Quested, who was embedded with the right-wing group the Proud Boys during the attack. Several members of the Proud Boys have been charged with conspiracy and sedition.

Quested, a British documentarian who has worked in war zones such as Afghanistan, spent a good deal of the postelection period filming members of the Proud Boys, including the group's former chair, Enrique Tarrio, who has been charged with seditious conspiracy in connection with the Capitol riot. Quested accompanied the Proud Boys to pro-Trump rallies in Washington in November and December 2020 and was on the ground with members of the group on Jan. 6, when several played a crucial role in breaching the Capitol.
Edwards, a well-respected Capitol Police officer, is believed to be the first officer injured in the attack, when she suffered a concussion during an assault at a barricade at the base of Capitol Hill. A man who has been charged with taking part in the assault, Ryan Samsel, told the FBI during an interview more than a year ago that just before he approached the barricade, a high-ranking member of the Proud Boys, Joseph Biggs, had encouraged him to confront the police.
Other officers around the building recall hearing Edwards calling for help over the radio – one of the first signs that mob violence was beginning to overrun the police presence. Months after the attack, she continued to have fainting spells believed to be connected to her injuries.

Other hearings are expected to focus on various aspects of the committee's investigation, including Trump's promotion of the lie that the election had been stolen, despite being told his claims were false; his attempts to misuse the Justice Department to help him cling to power; a pressure campaign on Pence to throw out legitimate electoral votes for Biden; the way the mob was assembled and how it descended on Washington Jan. 6; and the fact that Trump did nothing to stop the violence for more than three hours while the assault was underway.
