In a crisp January evening in West Vancouver, architect James Cheng is working the PowerPoint projector. He begins his pitch to the packed municipal hall with banal images of Ambleside, the stagnant stretch of the city's main drag. Then he clicks to a shot of the seaside cafés of Mykonos, full of retsina-swilling incarnations of Zorba the Greek. This, he explains, is what it could be like. The audience bursts out laughing-perhaps not the intended reaction-and Cheng clicks to the next image: the seaside cafés of Portofino, full of Chianti-swilling incarnations of Marcello Mastroianni. The crowd guffaws more loudly, and even Cheng cracks a smile. He's here to sell the so-called AmblesideNow initiative, a major proposal that would see the 1300 block of Marine Drive redeveloped, with master planning and much of the architecture done by Cheng himself. Councillor Trish Panz turns to him: "The input from this community, I expect, will be robust."
Pamela Goldsmith-Jones, West Van's effervescent 49-year-old mayor, takes the floor to give the crowd her full-throttle endorsement. "To have a glass of wine and head to a gallery, after 7 o'clock," she says. "That would be marvellous."
The mayor is enormously popular among many of the tastemakers who live in West Van. Her standard attire-flouncy dress, stiletto pumps, and Jackie Kennedy-style bob-evokes the best of midcentury flair. She laughs easily, and seems to know everyone. "She's incredibly down to earth, wildly generous with her time and spirit, and knows everything about West Coast design and art," says artist and writer Douglas Coupland, who lives in a Ron Thom house nestled in a Westmount glade. "I'm totally with Pam," says Nancy Bendtsen, of Inform Interiors in Gastown, who crosses the Lions Gate Bridge every day. "We need density. We used to have two theatres, a bowling alley-and now we're losing what we used to have. Just go along Marine Drive-half the stores have closed because of Park Royal."
Ah yes, Park Royal. Leased and developed by the wealthy Lalji family, the humungous shopping centre at the city's eastern border is a force the genteel forefathers never had to reckon with. With its burly adjacent towers and Disneyish façade, the mall is a magnet for long-time residents. Its northern section belongs to West Vancouver, but the bulk of it-almost everything south of Marine Drive-is on Squamish territory.
The relationship with the Squamish is another prickly issue. AmblesideNow wouldn't involve Park Royal or the Squamish directly, but future development at the mall could have a big impact on what happens down the street: high-rises at Park Royal (beyond council control) could sour voters on other high-density projects; they could also vacuum up more businesses along Marine Drive. The district's only power lies in its usefulness as an urban consultant, its willingness to share infrastructure like sewer mains and water reservoirs, and its ability to sell both to the Squamish Nation. Dealing with the sometimes complementary, sometimes conflicting wishes of so many stakeholders requires a strong, hands-on personality to bring all parties onside, says Bendtsen. "And Pam is absolutely the right person for the job."
Not everyone is so sure. Some residents bemoan the glacial pace of policy development and rezoning strategy in West Van. (Well, says Goldsmith-Jones, the pace in West Van is different.) Some were disappointed when the ambitious Deep Cove-to-Horseshoe Bay bike lane was stopped at Dundarave because of neighbourhood objections. (Goldsmith-Jones says she picks her battles carefully, and the extra length of bike lane wasn't worth scuttling a dedicated path all the way from Deep Cove to Ambleside.) Many are aghast at the Stonecliff development-two 15-storey towers near the Upper Levels Highway, erected on the privately owned British Pacific Properties (BPP) but approved and built earlier-while Goldsmith-Jones was on council. But what looks to some like a harbinger of environmental armageddon is actually a West Van version of EcoDensity: in exchange for allowing those heights, the district received 30 acres of protected land. The reality is that BPP has the right to build a sprawl of single-family homes almost all the way to Horseshoe Bay. Right now, Goldsmith-Jones and her team are considering more high-rises in the area. That plan-allowing up to a dozen apartment buildings, with the tallest as high as 12 storeys-would also bring a massive eco-benefit: protection of more than half of the lush, 215-acre forest that BPP might otherwise develop.
Building high in Ambleside, though, might prove even more daunting. Councillor Bill Soprovich supported the AmblesideNow motion in principle, but he says that like many West Van residents, he wouldn't support more than five storeys-maybe six-in the neighbourhood. "Look, we don't want Ambleside to go the way of downtown Vancouver," he says. "We don't want a high-rise philosophy on the waterfront. This is the last bastion of low-slung buildings."
A few weeks later, Goldsmith-Jones and her communications manager, Jessica Delaney, are workshopping what she'll say on CBC Radio. Stephen Quinn will be asking her about Metro Vancouver's regional growth plan; Delaney role-plays a radio host, and the mayor polishes her rejoinders. Delaney appears happy with the rehearsals: "I just want to make sure I haven't set you up for confrontation."
Confrontation-the bread-and-butter of many a politician-is sour milk to Goldsmith-Jones. In her office, between books on Bill Reid and B.C. Binning, is Roberta's Rules of Order, a riposte to the management stalwart Robert's Rules of Order, which stresses rigidity, sternness, power-tripping. Roberta's rules, by contrast, offer themes like "a kinder, gentler way of chairing a meeting."
"My style is definitely consensual," says Goldsmith-Jones, "and I love to be challenged in that way. An adversarial system presumes that people want to see a fight-a winner and a loser." But on the North Shore, she points out, "we don't have a party system, so I don't have the luxury of Gregor [Robertson] and Dianne [Watts], who can walk into a council chamber and count on x number of people supporting them."
"People don't see the tough me," she adds, "because I use it behind the scenes and I use it sparingly." Case in point: two years ago, she stared down then-transportation minister Kevin Falcon when he suggested a standard split (feds, province, district) of the $42-million cost to replace the crumbling Old Bailey Bridge that connects to the Lions Gate. She insisted Victoria and Ottawa cover all replacement costs. He acquiesced.
In the end, the biggest redevelopment project in West Van's history may well come down to this: can you be a patient consensus builder and still see your vision realized? Although the January council meeting netted much conditional support and the James Cheng presentation at municipal hall went well, the mayor's the battle has just begun.
Goldsmith-Jones's roots go back to the district's embryonic days: Alexander Law, her maternal great-grandfather, was an architect who came to West Vancouver from Scotland in 1906. Pam Fletcher, as she was born, attended West Vancouver Secondary and then commuted to UBC to earn a degree in political science. In 1984 she married Geoffrey Goldsmith-Jones and settled in Ambleside. While he studied building technology at BCIT, she sold AES word processors-"teaching people how to use email, in the days when you could email one person only." Restless for greater challenges, she returned to UBC for her poli-sci master's degree while starting a family: "I had three children just like that: boom, boom, boom."
In 1990, they bought a house in North Van, where she made her first foray into politics. She'd noticed the anemic state of her neighbourhood retail strip, Edgemont Village, where half the shops were for lease or going out of business. She cofounded the Edgemont Village Community Association and then, in 1992, won a seat on North Van council. The council charged up the listless retail enclave by rezoning an old gas-station site into a three-storey mixed-use complex.
The couple bought a house in West Van's Caulfeild neighbourhood in 1999. Then Geoff was offered a contract in San Francisco, and for two years they lived in Muir Beach, an enclave north of the city. Living in a community of 100 people, she says, where everyone knew each other and collaboration was key, helped sharpen her political instincts.
Returning to Caulfeild in 2002, she won a seat on West Van council. But she came to realize the only way to bring on the procedural change she wanted was to go for the top job; "I thought I could do a better job with engaging the people." She was elected mayor in 2005, trouncing incumbent Ron Wood, and won re-election more narrowly three years later against a rival who had promised a three-year tax freeze.
Taxes are a more emotional and contentious issue here than elsewhere. In February at the Hollyburn Club-the tony squash-and-golf emporium in the British Properties that's the epicentre of North Shore power-schmoozing-the mayor glides around the room. The crowd is thick with developers, arts advocates, planners, and local politicians. Many, for their own interests, are keen on the revitalization scheme. She greets them with a melodic "Hiiii!" the same way she greets everyone.
The mayor takes the stage and formally pitches AmblesideNow-it's the chance, she says, to create a vibrant downtown core in the heart of West Van. "As long as we can harness the value embedded in the land, this won't cost one penny for the taxpayer," she reassures the crowd. She's referring to density bonusing but avoiding the term.
"Density is a nasty word around here," allows West Van's chief planner, Bob Sokol. Whereas Sam Sullivan's EcoDensity program was touted with loud fanfare, AmblesideNow mutes the pitch. That's partly because West Van culture is more soft-spoken and formal, but also because West Van is a unique beast. A 1927 council motion enshrined the district as an industry-free zone. That's why you don't see factories or warehouses clogging up Marine Drive. Or much else either: no Wal-Marts, no Burger Kings, and-more tragically-hardly any decent wine bars or coffeehouses open at night. Nor, unsurprisingly, many young adults: most of the 20- and 30-somethings have been scared away by soaring housing costs and, well, the sheer boredom of living in a twee coastal village.
Some weeks later, the mayor's at ground zero: Marine Drive. At one end of the 1300 block is the police station, a once-elegant Ron Thom low-rise that, like so many 1950s and '60s-era icons, is literally falling apart. Last September, part of its roof flooded, knocking out the force's communications system and forcing the West Van police to camp out for a spell in North Vancouver. The street is all ragtag concrete, parked cars, and urban detritus. The mayor points out the major sites of the grand new vision: both sides of the 1300 block, and, about a kilometre away, part or all of the area adjacent to the current municipal hall. This latter section includes the 1939 faux-Scottish-castle stone house that's jury-rigged into service as the West Vancouver Museum.
Grosvenor, the developer, already owns roughly half the 1300 block; West Van owns most of the rest. If the district lets Grosvenor densify its half, the developer will in exchange pay for a lot of stuff West Van badly needs: an integrated public safety building-cop shop, ambulance dispatcher, and fire hall rolled into one-likely next to the municipal hall, and a new arts facility in keeping with the West Van Museum's growing prestige and ambitions.
The municipality, which over the past several years has been steadily buying up Ambleside's remaining waterfront properties, would preserve the waterfront as public park space, with plenty of open green around the Silk Purse and Ferry Building galleries. Meanwhile, the Grosvenor-Cheng team would receive a whack of density bonusing and height allowance. The bonusing could, for instance, allow Grosvenor to build two modest high-rises and several multi-unit mixed-use buildings between the water and Marine Drive-or some other configuration hammered out after citizen feedback. "What's important," Cheng explained in January, citing Coal Harbour and False Creek North, "is the spaces on the ground between towers."
So far, so good: as the architect of Vancouver's Shangri-La tower, and scores of other admired buildings around the world, Cheng is renowned as a high-rise artisan, a virtuoso architect sensitive to view and proportion. He's not slated to design the new arts facility or cop shop, but as the designer of the new higher-rise development that would pay for them, his role and talents are paramount. "Part of this initiative," says the mayor, "is to set the bar high."
The hoped-for result would be a dense, vibrant, and architecturally elegant mixed-use enclave. "My two cents would be a request that they acknowledge and make the most of the ocean that's there," says Douglas Coupland. "Virtually anything's an improvement over what's already there."
A tangle of ivy and brush dangles over the Goldsmith-Jones cedar-shake cottage hugging the edge of Marine Drive. I've arrived early for our evening appointment, and as I walk up the garden path, the sound of a piano ripples through the air. When the mayor finishes playing, I knock on the door. I ask the name of the lovely piece she was playing and she heads back to the den to check the title: a Simon and Garfunkel tune, "America."
The Goldsmith-Jones home, a modest 1,800 square feet, is spare and clean, with mullioned windows, fir flooring, Gordon Smith prints on the wall, and tea candles aglow on the credenza. Geoff is on his way to a fundraiser where Pam will join him; she jumps up to offer him a ticket and see if there's anything else he needs. Her unfailing, deferential friendliness is clearly no act.
Before long we head off in her 1998 Volvo station wagon for the evening's activities: an Olympic park bench dedication, then the fashion-show fundraiser in Horseshoe Bay. There's a folksy, small-town vibe at Trolls Restaurant: the models are aged 10 to 93, the wine is served in plastic glasses, the chatter is pleasant and easy.
For the fashion show, the mayor dons an off-the-shoulder black cocktail dress and struts down an imaginary catwalk as the crowd oohs, ahhs, and claps madly. The joint is still vibrating with music and laughter when I hop on the 8:35 bus at the Horseshoe Bay terminal. Back in Vancouver, I Google the lyrics of the Simon and Garfunkel ballad the mayor played. It starts like this: "Let us be lovers, we'll marry our fortunes together/I've got some real estate here in my bag."
A couple of months later, the AmblesideNow team showcases the fruits of its public consultations during an open house at the West Van Community Centre. The mayor thanks everybody for their wonderful ideas, vividly scrawled on dozens of posters and whiteboards around the atrium. The sketches depict what you might expect (artist live-work studios, sidewalk espresso bars, bike rentals), plus a few things that seem quintessentially West Van (rooftop yoga lounge, "rhododendron showcase").
James Cheng presides over a table topped with a map of Ambleside and multisized stacks of blue styrofoam blocks-stand-ins for buildings. As citizens relay their concerns over this building's location or that building's height, Cheng repositions the blocks like a casino dealer moving stacks of chips on a roulette table.
Meanwhile, Goldsmith-Jones, as usual, hobnobs with everyone, including a group of high-school kids in the lounge down the hall. Then, as the sky outside darkens, she slips away. It's after 7, and she's heading to a friend's house, for some conversation and a glass of wine.

'Indo-Nepal effort needed to prevent Ganges Basin fish from losing genetic variability'
Steve Lockett, a Mahseer expert, feels the two countries must pool in their efforts to preserve the freshwater fish stocks in the Ganga and its tributaries

An expert on Mahseer feels that India and Nepal need to cooperate and collaborate on preserving the genetic uniqueness of fish found in the trans-boundary Ganga and its tributaries, which flow from Nepal into India and beyond.
"Both, India and Nepal are signatories to agreements which aim at protecting biodiversity found within their territories. Protection of biodiversity is very important. Even the food security of humanity depends on it," Lockett, who is the Education and Outreach Officer of the Mahseer Trust and works on the hump-backed Mahseer of South India, told Down To Earth (DTE).
Last week, Lockett attended the 3rd National River Summit 2019 in Nepal. "Biodiversity protection was very much the conclusion reached at the summit too. In the case of India and Nepal, not just scientists, but also governments, non-profits and fish breeders must collaborate on this. In India, it is very clearly spelt out in the National Wildlife Action Plan that releasing animals in the wild must be done in line with IUCN guidelines," he said.
When asked to give an example, Lockett explained: "Take for instance, the Golden Mahaseer. It is distributed in the Indus, Ganges and Brahmaputra basins in South Asia. Hence, there are localised populations with small genetic differences. Now if somebody catches this fish from the Beas or the Sutlej in India's Punjab and releases it into the Kosi in Bihar, it can swim upstream into Nepal. Studies on other cyprinid species (carps) have shown this disrupts native-stock spawning routines."
The Mahseer was also the main theme of Lockett's presentation at the summit. "This was the third time the summit happened, organised by the Nepal River Conservation Trust. Each edition was centred around a river. In 2017, it was the Kosi in eastern Nepal. In 2018, the Trishuli in Central Nepal. And this time, the summit was held at the banks of the Karnali river in western Nepal," said Lockett.
For five days, more than 200 concerned stakeholders and river basin custodians deliberated in a remote yet scenic spot called Rakam, where they could live, feel and touch the Karnali, he recalls.
Lockett says the delegates discussed questions of whether planned dams should come up on the last free-flowing river in Nepal, the Karnali and whether development by damming and selling electricity was going to help lift locals from humble backgrounds
Lockett also notes that there is still a lot of confusion among taxonomists and fish experts about the classification of fish species in the Ganges Basin between India and Nepal. "This has been going on for 50 years. I would say it is due to perpetuation of misidentification in previous papers. Even after 200 years, we still cannot, correctly identify two of the three currently valid species of mahseer in Ganges basin. Until we do this, we cannot make correct conservation plans."

ARLINGTON, Virginia — There was a brief silence before Celestino Almeda could finally speak. Then his voice cracked as he recalled the haunting sights, sounds and smells of World War II.
As he turned 100 years old about six months ago, Almeda still struggled for words to describe the horrifying days he fought as a combat guerilla fighter in the Philippines.
Along with American troops, he said that he fought hard against the Japanese. He recalled how the battle never ceased — from daybreak until midnight when everything around them was in complete silence.
On another day, he said that he saw a man on the street who looked like he was resting on the curb, only to find out that the man's body was torn apart and that he had been dead for days.
Almeda is the oldest-living Filipino veteran in the United States.
Now, more than 70 years had passed after the war, Almeda continues to fight another longtime battle of his life: recognition from the U.S. government for his military service.
He says that he had written the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs a number of times since early 2000, requesting to recognize his military service during World War II.
But all his requests had been denied. The reason: his name and military service could not be found in the American veterans archive in St. Louis, Missouri.
Undeterred, Almeda said that he responded in detail to each letter of denial he had received. He chronicled, in his own words, how he joined the guerilla movement to help Americans in fighting against the Japanese.
As the war continued, thousands of American and Filipino troops succumbed to the Japanese forces. In order for Almeda and other Filipino troops not to become prisoners of war, he said he was dismissed from the military service on January 5, 1942.
Struggling against great odds to save the Philippines islands, on March 11, 1942, U.S. Pres. Franklin Roosevelt ordered U.S. Gen. Douglas MacArthur to abandon the Philippines, which was an American commonwealth during the war.
About 90,000 American and Filipino troops were left behind as MacArthur and his family retreated to Australia.
If the U.S. government would acknowledge Almeda's military service, it would formalize his recognition as a veteran and make him eligible for veterans' benefits.
The U.S. military promised at the time of World War II to give full veterans' benefits to every Filipino who volunteered to fight. More than 250,000 Filipinos joined.
In 1946, however, Pres. Harry S. Truman signed the Rescission Act, taking that promise away.
For many decades, the Filipino veterans were left without any benefits. Many of them had died while waiting for the benefits to come.
In 2009, a provision tucked inside the stimulus bill that Pres. Barack Obama signed, known as Filipino Veterans Equity Compensation Fund, the U.S. government gave a one-time, lump sum $15,000 for every eligible Filipino veteran who was a U.S. citizen, and $9,000 for a non-U.S. citizen.
While Obama was visiting the Philippines in 2014, he admitted that "it was injustice" to Filipino war veterans who were denied compensation for their services under the American flag.
To date, less than 18,000 Filipino veterans are alive. And, like Almeda, some of them are still fighting for recognition of their military service.
"Sadly, his (Almeda) claim for benefits was denied," said Jonathan Melegrito, executive secretary of Filipino Veterans Recognition and Education Project (FilVetRep).
But Melegrito, who is a son of a Filipino World War II veteran, said that Almeda and 25 more living Filipino veterans, along with 200 next of kin to deceased Filipino veterans, will be given the Congressional Gold Medal— the highest civilian honor bestowed by congress— this month.
Speaker of the House Rep. Paul Ryan will honor and give medals to the Filipino veterans in a ceremony set for October 25, coinciding with the observance of the Filipino American History Month.
Similar emotions resonated with Melegrito, whose father was a Bataan Death March survivor and served in the military under Gen. Jonathan Wainwright.
For Almeda, he admits that a huge part of him feels "very much honored and triumphant" about the congressional award, while another part reminds him that his own battle is still unresolved.
As of 2009, his request for recognition of his military service has been pending.

Tanzanian Bashire has no capacity to own land in Zambia, submits ACC
By Zondiwe Mbewe,
THE Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) says it will prove that Uziel Bashire, a Tanzanian national, is not the beneficial owner of the infamous 48 houses as he does not have capacity to own land in Zambia.
ACC has further submitted to the Lusaka High Court that it followed the procedure of forfeiting the properties in dispute to the State.
This is a matter in which three people have sued ACC in the Lusaka High Court, seeking an order that Bashire is the beneficial owner of the 48 houses which the anti-corruption body seized and as such, he should be granted possession of the properties.
Bashire, who is currently residing in Norway, Zuberi Bigawa, also a Tanzanian national and Bashire's cousin, as well as Charles Loyana, a senior accountant at the Ministry of Finance, also want a declaration that the notice issued pursuant to the ACC (Disposal of Recovered Property) Regulations, 2004 directed to Loyana and other individuals regarding Bashire's properties no longer had effect in light of the rightful owner claiming the properties.
The three represented by Willis Muhanga of Messrs AKM Legal Practitioners, further want a declaration that the arbitrary seizure and continuation of holding on of the properties by ACC despite the claim made by the rightful owner was unlawful and illegal.
Bashire, Bigawa and Loyana also want an Order for ACC to account and pay to Bashire all the income received as rentals from the date of the seizure to the date of the Order and or in the alternative, mesne profits.
However, in its defence filed in the Lusaka High Court, ACC has denied the claims, saying Bashire, Bigawa and Loyana are not entitled to any of the reliefs they were seeking in the matter or at all.
The Commission stated that it did not agree with the plaintiffs' claim that Loyana, on different dates, received money from Bigawa to purchase a number of Plots from Lombe Bwalya & Associates, as the same was within the personal knowledge of the plaintiffs.
It, however, added that in a statement to it, Loyana denied having bought any property from Lombe Bwalya & Associates and that he shall therefore be put to strict proof.
ACC also denied the plaintiffs' claims that when the first 24 houses were completed, Loyana's wife, Suzan Sinkala, assisted to apply for connection of electricity and that the 24 units were registered at ZESCO in her name and that further, the Tenancy Agreements for the units were also executed in her name.
It stated that the same was within the personal knowledge of the plaintiffs.
ACC stated that Loyana's wife, in a statement, indicated that she had only made one or two applications on behalf of other people and not the 24 applications alleged by the plaintiffs.
It, however, admitted that it was served with a letter of claim by Messrs Mambwe, Siwila and Lisimba Advocates which stated that the properties were owned by Chali Chitala (a lawyer who, according to the plaintiffs, was identified to help them deal with the issue of ownership of the property [24 units] in Bashire's favour).
ACC denied the claims by the plaintiff that Chitala signed forms which resulted in the Tenancy Agreements for the 24 units being effected in his name, stating that the same was within the personal knowledge of the plaintiffs.
It stated that Chitala denied ever executing any documents relating to the ownership of the properties in dispute, adding that the plaintiffs shall hence be put to strict proof.
"ACC shall further aver that Mr Chali Chitala denied owning the said properties and ever instructing Messrs Mambwe, Siwila and Lisimba Advocates. In fact, Mr Chali Chitala requested Messrs Mambwe, Siwila and Lisimba Advocates to retract the said letter, failure to which he was going to report them to the Legal Practitioners Committee for acting without instructions, among others. Consequently, Messrs Mambwe, Siwila and Lisimba Advocates retracted the said letter," ACC stated.
The commission, however, admitted that a statement was issued to the media that the properties in dispute had been disowned by Chitala.
"The defendant (ACC) shall prove that the first plaintiff (Bashire) is not the beneficial owner of the properties as he does not have capacity to own land in Zambia. The defendant followed the procedure of forfeiting the properties in dispute to the State," ACC stated.
It stated that the plaintiffs were not entitled to any of the reliefs they were seeking.
In their statement of claim, the plaintiffs had stated that Bashire was involved in international business among others investing in Real Estate, while Bigawa was involved in provision of general construction services.
The trio stated that in 2011, Bashire decided to invest in real estate in Zambia.
The plaintiffs added that to achieve this, Bashire, through a Power of Attorney dated November 25, 2011, appointed his cousin Bigawa and gave him power to nominate and delegate to a trusted Zambian to purchase and develop real estate properties in Zambia for which Bashire would be the beneficial owner and or subsequently as an absolute owner.
Bashire, Bigawa and Loyana stated that pursuant to the said Power of Attorney, Bigawa searched for a trusted Zambian and finally settled for Loyana who, by a Special Power of Attorney dated January 5, 2012, was appointed to, among others, negotiate, sign and execute with the seller any document related to any real estate purchased by him on behalf of Bashire.
"Bigawa will aver that he received various amounts of money from Bashire through various Tanzanian payment systems which he withdrew and converted to the Zambian Kwacha, brought it to Zambia and gave cash to Loyana who signed for it and paid to Lombe Bwalya & Associates. Once a plot was identified and part payment made towards it, Lombe Bwalya & Associates granted access to him and he commenced construction works on behalf of Bashire," read the claim further.
He stated that upon learning that his properties were seized by ACC, he travelled to Zambia and was interviewed by ACC officers.
Bashire said he explained how he was sending money to Bigawa, his cousin, for the purchase of plots and construction of houses in Zambia and further explained to the officers that he had instructed Bigawa and Loyana to engage a lawyer to help him deal with the issue of ownership of houses in accordance with the Zambian Laws.
The plaintiffs stated that despite Bashire explaining that he was the beneficial owner of the properties, ACC had continued holding on to the properties illegally and without any lawful justification.

Robert Durst on Ventilator After Contracting COVID-19
Robert Durst is starting out his life imprisonment on a hospital bed — the guy has COVID-19, and is hooked up to a machine to help him survive … so says his lawyer.
Attorney Dick DeGuerin told several media outlets Saturday that Durst has been placed on a ventilator over the past couple days after contracting the virus — but didn't have much of an update beyond that, adding the legal team hadn't heard from doctors yet.
He did say that Durst looked terrible on Thursday — when he was sentenced to life in prison after recently being found guilty for murder — noting it was the "worst I've ever seen him." DeGuerin added Durst was having difficulty breathing and speaking that day.
Durst sat quiet and still during his sentencing hearing, looking incredibly frail in a wheelchair … while wearing a face mask. It's unclear if he'd tested positive before or after the hearing.
As we reported … Durst's fate is to live out his remaining years behind bars, without the possibility of parole. He was found guilty of murdering his close friend, Susan Berman, back in 2000. While he was never charged for the crime, many believe she was set to come forward with info linking Durst to the disappearance of his wife, Kathy, whom vanished in the '80s.
Durst's story was covered extensively in the HBO docuseries 'The Jinx' during which he's believed to have confessed to killing both Kathy and Susan after being heard on a hot mic.
Durst is 78 years old, and his health was already in decline before this COVID diagnosis.

The Best Superhero Video Games of All Time
Superheroes. They're everywhere. The success of superhero films in the last few years has brought the spandex-clad do-gooders out of the basement and into popular culture. We've seen them destroy alien invasions, save people from burning buildings and shrink to a size so small that it can only be understood by theoretical science.
But, you know what's even better than watching your favorite superheroes save the world in eye-popping 3D?
Playing as your favorite superheroes. That's right. Suiting up as your favorite character and plowing through a host of bad guys in a video game is an
extremely fun experience, if it's a good game. And there have been a LOT of bad superhero games (I'm looking at you, Catwoman!).
But luckily, there have also been a lot of good ones. So without further ado, here are the best superhero video games of all time (in no particular order).
The Arkham Series (Arkham Asylum, Arkham City, Arkham Origins, Arkham Knight)
No list of great superhero games is complete without a mention of The Arkham series. Developers Rocksteady absolutely nailed the experience of playing as the Dark Knight. With silky-smooth combat, sprawling open-worlds and truly fantastic writing, The Arkham games are a shining beacon to what is possible with superhero games.
As Batman, you swoop over a brooding Gotham, using your grappling hook to travel vast distances without ever touching the ground. In predator mode, you embody the stealth aspects of Batman, stalking your prey as you wait for the right time to descend from the heavens and land a concussive blow to take them out. You use a wide array of gadgets, drive vehicles and even solve cases, making this an absolute dream come true for Batman fans.
Marvel Ultimate Alliance 1 and 2
The Ultimate Alliance games are a great representation of what makes the Marvel universe so much fun – witty dialogue, colorful characters and wanton mayhem. Activision took the formula that made X-Men: Legends such a fun team-based action game and refined it with the Ultimate Alliance series. With bigger bosses, more characters and fantastic setpieces, players could finally enjoy the experience of creating their own superhero teams. Mine had Deadpool, Storm, Thor and Wolverine. Which heroes did you pick?
Before the Deadpool movie sliced and diced its way to box-office history, the merc with a mouth had a great video game. Deadpool stayed true to the character's eccentricities, introducing weird, vulgar humor and brutal violence. And through it all, players got to enjoy Deadpool quipping. Kill a horde of bad guys? Quip. See a hot girl? Quip. Oh, Deadpool.
The Lego games have taken several incredibly popular franchises and spun them into enjoyable action adventures. Lego Marvel Super Heroes continued this wonderful tradition by turning your favorite superheroes into adorable brick characters and having them journey through a fun storyline that includes lot of self-referential humor and puns. Everyone loves puns.
If you're not sold on the game yet, Dr. Doom has a device that he's going to use to destroy the world as we know it. And he calls it the "Doom Ray of Doom".
Captain America and The Avengers
In 1991, The First Avenger and his buddies made their way onto the NES for an old-school, Double-Dragon style brawler. And the results were fantastic. The game featured four playable characters – Captain America, Iron Man, Vision and Hawkeye. Each character had unique moves and special attacks. The plot was pretty standard, as you'd expect from a beat-em-up, but that didn't take away from the enjoyment of the game. Mowing down screen after screen of bad guys never got boring, especially when you had boss fights with some of Marvel's best villains – The Juggernaut, Ultron and The Mandarin, among others.
In addition, the game featured special appearances by other Avengers like Namor, Wasp and Quicksilver. These characters appeared for a limited when you collected some powerups and helped you rain down even more misery on your enemies.
Injustice finally answered a question that every comic book fan had pondered "Who would win if The Joker fought Superman?" The answer? Whoever is better at back dashing and down-forward-punch. Unless you don't know how to play, in which case the answer is "whoever mashes buttons quicker".
The plot of Injustice is just an excuse to get all of your favorite heroes and villains on a level playing field where they can beat the ever living crap out of each other. And that's a great thing. Designed by the twisted geniuses behind the Mortal Kombat series, Injustice features fantastic combat, great character designs and several special moves that will make you gape in awe. Superman punches people through what looks like a thousand levels of walls and Wonder Woman uses her lasso to hold the opponent in place while she (and a friendly Amazon warrior) deliver the smack down. Good times.
The Incredible Hulk: Ultimate Destruction
Every comic book fan has had moments where they wished they could morph into The Hulk and rampage through the streets. The Incredible Hulk: Ultimate Destruction allowed players to do precisely this. With smooth controls and an open-world at your disposal, you can jump, punch, smash and stomp your enemies into a fine pulp. This game really made you feel the power of The Hulk, letting you fling cars effortlessly at enemies, climb massive buildings with ease, and jump to create the superhero landing to beat all superhero landings.
The Marvel vs. Capcom Series
Although Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3 might be the series' finest hour, it's unfair to exclude any of the games from this series, because they're all fun. This is one of the most colorful and fun fighting games you can get your hands on. With a roster featuring several mainstays (and other lesser known, but equally interesting characters) from the Marvel and Capcom universes, there's a tremendous wealth of content to be explored here. Each character has screen-filling special and super moves, and team matches allow you to tag in your partner at the end of a combo to deal massive, fight-ending amounts of damage.
This is also the fighting game that casual players usually play without looking at the screen. Because they're pressing all the buttons. ALL. THE. BUTTONS.
Here's the bottom line – you pick up any of the games from this list and you're guaranteed dozens of hours of fun. So, have you got any favorite superhero games that you think we missed? Let us know!

Maximinus, original name Gaius Julius Verus Maximinus, also called Maximin or Maximinus Thrax ("The Thracian"), (born c. 173, Thrace [modern Bulgaria and portions of Turkey]—died 238, near Aquileia [now in Italy]), first soldier who rose through the ranks to become Roman emperor (235–238). His reign marked the beginning of a half century of civil war in the empire. Gaius Julius Verus Maximinus(AD ca. 173 – AD 238) Traditionally the birth of Maximinus is stated as having been either in AD 172 or 173, as was believed by the ancient historians. Today however there is some doubt if this truly was the case. It might indeed well have been that he was born as much as a decade after AD 173, perhaps even later than that.

This project was important to me because I grew up around, worked in, and played in the Anahuac NWR.. It is a beautiful place that was hit hard by Hurricane Ike. It was a privilege to work with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to restore this natural beauty and ensure that future generations can have the same experiences I had growing up and discovering the uniqueness of the Texas coast.

First itunes single > EP 1 > Next Music > Recording
Garnett learned the recorder for two years and the clarinet for a year at ages 8 and 9 while at private school in London, but returned to a music-light US public school system. He sang tenor in the 8th grade school choir for awhile after being picked out of class. The music teacher mentioned to Garnett's mother that her son had perfect pitch, which apparently comes in handy with music-related stuff.
In high school the artist chased the Grateful Dead around, selling his tee shirts and posters in the parking lots of concerts to pay for his adventures. At university Garnett wrote 50 songs while making art for bands and production companies, which was his full time job outside of school when not attending classes. He started practicing basic rhythm acoustic to accompany his melodies and lyrics. His senior year he rehearsed with a band as lead singer for a month, working on some of his own material, but the band lost its space to rehearse and never played out.
After college Garnett rented his parents' garage for two years to build his fine art studio, continuing his work with the music industry, teaching himself graphic design, painting and writing. His first show afforded him a studio in the South End of Stamford, a factory space the artist kept for ten years before buying two spaces in South Norwalk, CT, 45 minutes from Houston Street in New York City. The artist painted for every penny of his career, so he opted for cheap space outside of NYC and dedicated his life to achieving fluency in a number of creative mediums to pay the bills.
While at the Stamford Loft, Garnett's friend Phil loaned him a 4-track to record cursory song concepts. Garnett waited for consumer grade technology that would allow him to build songs on his own, music remaining a sidebar project like the books he wanted to write.
Around the time Garnett moved to his South Norwalk studios, Apple Computer came out with Garageband, a consumer grade music recording program, which Garnett recorded the majority of his first single on (Busted Wing). Apple's professional grade recording software Logic began to compete with industry standard Pro Tools as itunes took on traditional music industry practices. Garnett completed Busted Wing with the limited version of Apple Logic in his home studio, recording with an M-57 mic and an M-Audio interface into his Apple desktop. He released Busted Wing on itunes in the fall of 2008, which was picked up by Teton Gravity Research for one of their short films.
Garnett's only rule was to play all the tracks on his first 10 songs, doing all the recording, editing, mixing and publishing as a crash course in studio production. He swapped his M-Audio for a Focusrite Saffire and picked up a Robbie pre-amp, moving his music station (an imac) off the grid to function only as a recording 'studio.' He traded in his beach guitar for a mid-range Yamaha FGX720SCA, he picked up a cursory M-Audio USB keyboard, an acceptable baby blue Fender Squire studio bass, and his friend Danny loaned him a black Fender Strat. He spent a lot of time tinkering, writing lyrics to work with melody, learning digital sound, instrumentation, and studying music that inspired him.
'When you are putting together a song sound by yourself, you have to think more like a composer than anything else, which suits the artist and writer in me. There is not another person who will step in to finish a picture or a book. If I was going to get some music out, I wanted to learn every facet of the big picture, even if this meant learning small snippets of each instrument. I am more interested in how counterpoint instrument lines move with a center vocal (paired with left and right choruses) to make a song work. There is no way that I will ever achieve mastery with one musical instrument, but if I can put songs together and publish them on my own, when I am ready to engage friends of mine who are professional musicians, I will be able to understand where they are coming from and how to communicate with them so they can illuminate a particular passage or composition. Busted Wing has 32 tracks on it, and I was responsible for building all of them. I had to make a band sound out of thin air, learn how instruments work, how they work together, how to record them, how to mix them. That song is mixed well, still not mastered properly, but I pulled off a good first song. It is equal parts research, composition, art, vibe, tech, small business. This is a good way to learn for me.'
On the heels of his studio upgrade and positive reviews coming from art fans who were not aware Garnett had a musical fiber in his body, the artist began to record snippets of the growing catalogue of riffs, melodies and lyrics that had accumulated over the years. In the fall of 2011 he released his first 5 song EP on Bandcamp after being heckled by music friends to get some more material out there. In 2013 he added two short songs to his first EP itunes release.
Garnett is currently working on his first LP, which is coming along slowly but surely. He has released passages of upcoming songs attached to videos of his Stamford Train Station Lighting project. The artist would first like to bring in female vocals, then bring in a host of musicians he has made art for in his past on future recordings.
Garnett's influences are large in range. His parents (who have very nice voices and taught him to love music), The Grateful Dead, Beethoven, Bach, David Brubeck, Bob Dylan, Neil Young, Traffic, Yes, Genesis (old), Steve Winwood, Peter Gabriel, Roger Waters, The Beatles, Pink Floyd, The Who, The Allman Brothers, Cream, The Doors, Van Morrison, David Bowie, Rush, Jimi Hendrix, Credence, CSN, Joni Mitchell, Peter Tosh, Bob Marley, Frank Sinatra, The Band, Frank Zappa, The Guess Who, Blues Traveler (Garnett's homebase band he made art for), The Samples, Soul Coughing, Phish, Beck, Pearl Jam, Soundgarden, Gomez, Radiohead, Bjork, Sigur Ros, Wilco, Cake, Johnny Cash, Stevie Wonder, Bill Withers, AC/DC, Kiss (Garnett's first album), The Berardo Brothers, and 500 other talented bands and musicians the artist paints to every day.

» M16A1 and M16A2 Rifle Marksmanship
Failure to Feed Chamber or Lock
Last Updated on Wed, 05 Apr 2017 | M16A1 and M16A2 Rifle
Description. A malfunction can occur when loading the rifle or during the cycle of operation. Once the magazine has been loaded into the rifle, the forward movement of the bolt carrier group could lack enough force (generated by the expansion of the action spring) to feed, chamber, and lock the first round. While firing, the cycle of function is interrupted by a failure to strip a round from the magazine, to chamber the round, and to lock it (Figure 2-14).
Probable causes. The cause could be the result of one or more of the following: excess accumulation of dirt or fouling in and around the bolt and bolt carrier, defective magazine (dented or bulged), magazine improperly loaded. A defective round (projectile forced back into the cartridge case that could result in a "stubbed round") or the base of the previous field cartridge could be separated, leaving the remainder in

"There's a limit to what you can learn, just looking through a telescope from Earth" Documentarian Emer Reynolds shines a light on the Voyager space exploration programme of the 1970s, talking to the scientists involved in the mission to find out just what was known about the solar system before the programme, and how Voyager – which will still be going long after our sun has burned out – changed our view of the solar system around us.
The Farthest could well be a dry and science-heavy documentary, aimed at those who have a passion or academic interest in space exploration and study, but director Emer Reynolds has coaxed incredibly strong, emotional and fascinating interview from her subjects in the film, which make The Farthest an engaging, fascinating and engrossing piece of work.
Of course there is enough science throughout The Farthest to keep everyone happy, and it is explained in layman's terms for the non-rocket scientists in the audience, but there is a warmth and heart to the film that is quite surprising; such as the scientist who wonders where Voyager is now as he gets ready for bed, or the woman who cried as she said goodbye to the project. As well as being a fascinating scientific study, Voyager missions also became a study of human emotion and sentiment, all of which Reynolds manages to capture beautifully, without being mawkish, in her film.
In all, The Farthest is a surprising documentary. Not only is there tons of information in the film that audiences may not have realised before, but there is a heart and soul to the film that is unexpected, but most welcome. Emer Reynolds has truly created something special here.

Kościół Wniebowzięcia Najświętszej Maryji Panny w Czarnocinie

Budowla zlokalizowana jest na wzgórzu, orientowana, murowana i otynkowana. Kościół jest jednonawowy z węższym od nawy, dwuprzęsłowym prezbiterium zamkniętym wielobocznie, przy którym znajduje się zakrystia.

Historia
Pierwszy gotycki kościół wzmiankowany jest w 1326. Nową, obecną murowaną budowlę wzniósł w 1360 Otton z Mstyczowa herbu Lis (zmarł 1366), kanclerz wielkopolski, kanonik krakowski, sandomierski i opolski, prepozyt skalbmierski i gnieźnieński, jeden z najbliższych współpracowników króla Kazimierza Wielkiego. Do ok. połowy XVII wieku kościół był pod wezwaniem Najświętszej Maryi Panny, a następnie do czasów obecnych pw. Wniebowzięcia Najświętszej Maryi Panny. W 1557 został sprofanowany przez kalwina Pawła Sancygniowskiego i zamieniony na zbór. Od początku XVII wieku ponownie przejęty przez katolików. W 1758 budowla spłonęła, ale została odbudowana, a w latach 1882-1885 gruntownie odnowiona. W 1885 wybudowano zakrystię.

Od zachodu znajduje się gotycka czworoboczna wieża, od południa przy nawie kruchta z 2 poł. XIX wieku. Wieża uszkodzona została w 1824, którą odbudowano w 1882. Jest to ciosowa budowla na planie kwadratu, z kruchtą w przyziemiu. Ma okno i kilka otworów strzelniczych ostrołukowych. Ostatnia kondygnacja (z 2 poł. XIX w.) oddzielona gzymsem. Ołtarz główny, dwa boczne i ambona w stylu rokokowym z ok. poł. XVIII wieku. Ołtarz główny z figurą Chrystusa Pana. W bocznych ołtarzach znajdują się obrazy: w lewym św. Anny z Joachimem i NMP (XIX w.), w prawym św. Trójcy (XVIII w.) oraz św. Antoniego Padewskiego z 1764. Ołtarz główny został gruntownie odnowiony w lecie 2009, w 2010 rozpoczęły się prace odnawiające ołtarzy bocznych.

Po II wojnie światowej przeprowadzono gruntowny remont organów. W latach 1997–1998 zmieniono pokrycie dachu z gontowego na blachę miedzianą, a w 2008 wymalowano wnętrze kościoła. Wewnątrz znajdują się epitafia pochodzące z XVIII-XIX wieku.

Kilkanaście metrów od kościoła stoi drewniana dzwonnica z drugiej połowy XVIII wieku. Nieco dalej plebania zbudowana w okresie międzywojennym na wzór dworku rodziny Ludwika Slaskiego z Turnawca, a także pomnik papieża Jana Pawła II postawiony w 2007.

Budynek kościoła oraz cmentarz kościelny zostały wpisane do rejestru zabytków nieruchomych (nr rej.: A.177/1-2 z 20.01.1933, z 11.11.1947 i z 11.02.1967).

Małopolska Droga św. Jakuba
Kościół znajduje się na odnowionej trasie Małopolskiej Drogi św. Jakuba z Sandomierza do Tyńca, która to jest odzwierciedleniem dawnej średniowiecznej drogi do Santiago de Compostela i związana jest z pielgrzymowaniem do grobu św. Jakuba.

Best of the Week: Champions League Final in 4K, HTC U12+ smartphone, LG OLED 4K TV and more | What Hi-Fi?
This week, Virgin Media revealed plans to show the Champions League final between Liverpool and Real Madrid in 4K, Marantz announced two new slimline AV receivers and HTC launched another squeezable smartphone in the U12+.
On the reviews side, there's the fantastic five-star Porta Pro headphones from Koss, LG's excellent OLED55E8PLA 4K TV and JBL's Link 20 smart speaker.
Virgin TV subscribers who have the Full House package and a V6 TV box will be able to watch the Champions League final in 4K.
This is the first time Virgin Media has broadcast live football in UHD, and you can catch the action by tuning in to channel 100 on Virgin Media on Saturday evening.
It's not the only way to watch it, as you can catch the action in 4K through the BT Sport channel or via YouTube.
Marantz has announced two new slimline AV receivers, the NR1609 and NR1509.
The 7.2 channel NR1609 has support for HEOS, Dolby Atmos, Dolby Vision HDR and Hybrid Log-Gamma, while the 5.2 channel NR1509 supports Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master audio.
HTC's latest phone is a return to its 'squeezable' design philosophy. The U12+ encourages users to squeeze or tap the sides of the phone to trigger shortcuts and functions.
It sports a 6in LCD screen (2560 x 1440 resolution), with support for HDR via YouTube, Bluetooth 5 and a selection of smart assistants including HTC's own Sense Companion.
The 64GB version is available to pre-order now, priced £699.
"Koss Porta Pros are a product we can fully get behind"
The Koss Porta Pros look like a cross between a headphone and an 80s-era headband.
It's no surprise to discover they are from that decade, with the design first introduced in 1984. It's one that emphasises the lightweight and portable nature of these open-backed cans.
For £25, they produce a fantastic performance. Fun and energetic, they boast decent punch and detail with good bass and treble performance.
As a cheap pair of frills-free headphones, they're a great option.
The Link 20 is a Google Assistant smart speaker that's small enough to fit into your rucksack, but with enough battery juice to last a whole day.
Well, ten hours to be exact. And you get a speaker that's good at dynamics, is well balanced and has a decent ear for detail.
The sound quality could offer a little more nuance, and the Google Assistant needs wi-fi to work, which is a problem if you intend to use it when you're out and about.
"One of the best performing and best equipped 55in TVs we've ever seen"
LG's latest OLED TV is another blockbuster effort, but fails to strike the right balance between price and performance.
Like other LG OLED efforts, it's a gorgeously designed TV, the picture is stunning and it has plenty of useful features.
But for all that, it doesn't justify its premium price in comparison with rival 4K TVs. It's a great TV, but not the best for value for money.

By Sociabble • Last update: June 30, 2015 • about 5 min. read
A recent survey conducted by FleishmanHillard has shed light on how Members of European Parliament (MEPs) use online tools when consuming information and interacting with stakeholders. The study, which was carried out between April and June 2015, offers an insightful look into MEPs' digital world. Here are some of the key takeaways.
MEPs on Social Networks
The 100 people in the MEP Survey show that 75% are active on Twitter and 88% have accounts on Facebook. Almost all said they use either one or both of these social networks to communicate with constituents and other stakeholders.
What's interesting is that Facebook and Twitter don't just lead the way ahead of other social networks; they are more popular among MEPs than personal websites and blogs. When asked which communication channels they use, 96% said they use Facebook, 93% Twitter and 82% personal websites and/or blogs.
It's also worth noting how the popularity of Facebook and Twitter has increased rapidly over a relatively short period of time. When in 2011 people were considering Facebook as an effective communication method by 61% of MEPs and Twitter by 31%; today those figures are 95% and 88% respectively.
Overall, 61% of MEPs said they or their staff follow social media conversations every day as part of their legislative work. And why wouldn't they? Social media is a valuable tool that, when used effectively, can offer a window into how legislative procedures work. And additionally enable elected officials to communicate directly with online audiences in a less formal, more conversational context.
Transparency, Humor and Relatability
If there's one thing that's been people give a lot of lip service within politics in recent years, it's the notion of transparency. This, coupled with the fact that most adults are now active on social media, goes a long way to explaining why many elected officials are taking to social networks not only to stay adrift of relevant conversations, but to actively participate in them.
For example, last month Barack Obama joined Twitter as @POTUS. Though primarily an opportunity to communicate about what he does in a professional capacity; the President uses his Twitter account to talk about personal interests to which his followers can relate.
@MayorofLondon Boris Johnson is also active on social media, hosting monthly Twitter chats during which he responds to a wide range of questions. Though most of these concern "serious" issues; Johnson (who is well known for his sense of humor) also engages with those that allow his personality to come to the fore.
Some elected officials may still be uncomfortable with the idea of letting their guard down on social media. But many have now recognized that social networks enable them to communicate with followers and/or constituents in an uncharacteristically informal way, and that using this as an opportunity to show off their personality as well as their professional persona is something that online audiences welcome with open arms.
