Strzyża Górna (niem. Hochstriess, 1945-1948 Bystrzec Górny) – osiedle w Gdańsku, w dzielnicach Strzyża i Wrzeszcz Górny.

Strzyża Górna została przyłączona w granice administracyjne miasta w 1902. Osiedle należy do okręgu historycznego Wrzeszcz.

Nazwa
28 marca 1949 r. ustalono urzędową polską nazwę miejscowości – Strzyża Górna, określając drugi przypadek jako Strzyży Górnej, a przymiotnik – górnostrzyski.

Położenie
Granice Strzyży Górnej niemal w całości pokrywają się z granicami dzielnicy administracyjnej Strzyża, a nawet wykraczają poza jej obszar. Do Strzyży Górnej zalicza się bowiem także należący do dzielnicy administracyjnej Wrzeszcz fragment na północ od Cmentarza Srebrzysko i Jaśkowego Lasu.

Zabudowa

Zabudowa na osiedlu ma zróżnicowany charakter. Najbardziej ekskluzywny charakter ma część willowa Strzyży Górnej, znajdująca się bezpośrednio przy dawnej linii kolejowej Wrzeszcz – Kokoszki.

Maximo Park Apply Some Pressure
Maximo Park's mission to bring urgent, driving, propulsive pop music to the people, picks up further pace with the announcement that live anthem 'Apply Some Pressure' is to be their first single of 2005. Maximo Park's songs nearly always seem to be transmissions from the brain of a young man about to go postal (viz 'Night I Lost My Head' on last seven-inch), but, if anything, 'Apply Some Pressure' ups the ante.
As ever, punk poet cum brainbox vocalist Paul Smith has been thinking about things. And, as ever, much of his mental energy is directed towards his twin obsessions of Sex and Death. "You know that I would love to see you next year/ I hope that I am still alive next year… You know that I would love to see you in that dress/ I hope that I will live to see you undressed!"
The 'pressure' of the title is very much in evidence, with this being not so much a single release as a release of pent-up musical steam. Frustration is a strong feeling within the world of Maximo Park, and it's sometimes hard to see who exactly is applying the pressure to whom. There is, however, a clear feeling of strength in adversity and a sheer bloody-minded refusal to lie down, that underpins the band's ringing guitars and hammered pianos and makes them somehow more inspirational than the rest.
'Apply Some Pressure' was produced by Paul Epworth at Eastcote and mixed by Rich Costey. It is accompanied by two new songs – 'Fear Of
Falling' on the CD and 'I Want You To Leave' on the 7", which adds
further weight to the argument that Maximo Park are incapable of writing anything approaching a b-side.

3.2 HOW DOES ANVAROL WORK?
3.10 Can I use Anvarol to lose weight?
3.11 Is Anvarol the best option for Cutting?
3.12 Have Your Own Anvarol Review?
Anvarol by Crazy Bulk claims to be the perfect alternative to Anavar! Are there claims true? We think NOT! But Anvarol is making some noise in the bodybuilding world because it does boost performance and cutting cycles!
In this Anvarol review will report the facts and determine if serious bodybuilders should use this fat burning supplement. Discover user reviews, experiences and side effects associated with the use of Anvarol!
By using a variety of different ingredients, Anvarol provides its users with stamina, fat burning, and performance boosts! Our Anvarol review will be investigating these claims and reveal to you just what we think of this product!
BODYBROS'S review process is super simple! We investigate many user reviews, scientific evidence surrounding the formula and revealing side effects common among testimonials.
Have we used Anvarol? Yes, we have all tried the full range of Crazy Bulk products! Plus the many Crazy Bulk stacks ready-made for different bodybuilding phases!
Anvarol is marketed as the legal alternative to Anavar meaning that it works similar to Anavar but does not cause nasty side effects and is perfectly legal.
It was introduced back in 2013 to enhance gym performance and enable users to achieve a better cutting phase!
It provides explosive strength and power and lets users reduce fats stores. Its manufacturer, Crazy Bulk, is one of the leading suppliers of legal steroids and many other types of supplements to help improve sports performance.
Anvarol provides high bursts of energy; it achieves this effect by stimulating the production of phosphocreatine by using a mix of natural ingredients. Which means that your muscle tissue will contain higher levels of ATP [adenosine triphosphate] that makes your muscles work for more extended periods!
In general, Anvarol does not have serious side effects that would cause problems for a user. But like other bodybuilding supplements, if misused, like exceeding the dosage recommended on the product labeling, it can cause issues!
The good thing is that these side effects are mostly controllable especially if you use the product according to the specifications on the product. Users who have a medical condition or taking medication should consult with a doctor before taking Anvarol!
Adenosine triphosphate or ATP Provides muscle tissue with massive bursts of energy!
All components are proven to have a positive effect on cutting cycles because they generally boost energy and reduce muscle loss! Listed below are the sources we used in researching these ingredients.
Don't be fooled by the steroid hype; it is not as good as the real thing although it does work well for as supplement. I have been using this for many months and happy with the cutting cycles it provides: Bannon AKA John the bull, Australia.
Our own opinion of Anvarol is favorable; we used it on its own and as part of a Crazy Bulk stack! We found it to improve energy, stamina significantly and to reduce muscle fatigue! Side effects were not present when we experimented with it, but some Anvarol reviews reported feeling sick initially after use! So, if you want to cut and define your muscle mass, then Anvarol does work and works well!
Can I use Anvarol to lose weight?
Yes, you can use this to lose weight, but you must reduce calorie intake and exercise. Lift light weights or enjoy some intense cardiovascular workouts. This way your muscle mass will not rise, good luck. Please get back to us on your journey using Anvarol!
Is Anvarol the best option for Cutting?
Yes, Anvarol will not let you down when it comes to results, if you want a potent and more effective cutting cycle we would suggest you use the Crazy Bulk cutting stack that consists of 4 individual agents which all target the same thing.

Founded in 1839 by Thomas Clarkson and other abolitionists who successfully campaigned to end the transatlantic slave trade, Anti Slavery International is the oldest international human rights organisation in the world.
Over the past 180 years, they've achieved so much, from ending systems of slavery in Belgian Congo, Peru and China, to outlawing the traditional form of sexual slavery in Niger only last month.
Yet, they're not celebrating. We have 40 million reasons not to celebrate. That's the estimated number of people trapped in slavery worldwide.
Priory Heath has a couple of candidates who live in the ward. Naturally the Saint Margeret's Ward Residents Association Ipswich Lib Dem candidate lives in Saint Margeret's Ward where they all live and as Ipswich Labour like putting their candidates up as far away from where they live as possible so they don't start empathising with the locals, their candidate lives in Saint John's. Meanwhile, the Conservatives have local candidate Sam Murray who is running Labour ragged to the point where she has received some very nasty online abuse. She's getting the kind of abuse it took me six years to start getting. Ipswich Labour have also tried to intimidate her by canvassing in her road and finding out everybody is going to vote for her. With the Green candidate also being local and conducting a local campaign, Labour are being attacked from both the left and the right.
Sam Murray is a prime example of what a local councillor should be. Someone that works hard for the ward. Canvassing in Priory Heath is an absolute pleasure for Conservatives at the moment with lot's of good, positive responses all ending with "Of course I'll vote for Sam." Those that haven't heard of her and always vote labour and we're taking about three people because she is so well known in the ward, are considering voting Green this time instead.
Sam is a small business owner, and works part time. She has two young children who attend Ravenswood Primary School.
Sam and her family support local community projects such as the Bulb planting on Queensway Park, tree planting with the Ravenswood Wildlife Group and arranging local litter picks. Sam also helped to organise the Gainsborough Community Fun Day.
She has successfully campaigned and got installed a local Defibrillator, lobbied Councillors and the MP to support those in social housing on Fen Bight Circle which is resulting in new heating systems. She has also helped people affected by the reduction of bus services.
Sam has a strong work ethic and is determined to be a voice for those in her community who feel they don't have one.
Everyone should feel safe in their home and community. This will be my number one priority. I will work closely with the safer neighbourhood team, the council and the Police and Crime Commissioner, Tim Passmore to make Priory Heath a safer place to live.
It is important to give back and work together for a better neighbourhood. I am the secretary of the Gainsborough Community People's Forum and a member of both the Ravenswood Residents Association and Friends of Landseer Park. I will work hard to support more community groups and to make Priory Heath better.
We cannot thrive if we feel like our voices aren't being heard. I will continue to be the voice for our community ensuring we are not forgotten. I have already been doing this by lobbying the council and campaigning on issues in the ward. I have had a number of wins already, so imagine how many wins we will have when I am your Councillor.
Concerning the repainting of the Double Yellow Lines in Woodbridge, Caroline Page the County Councillor for Ipswich Road Woodbridge has written a blog post here.
In discussion with Conservative District Council candidate, Chris Mapey on Facebook, it appears that Caroline Page is trying to fob off the responsibility to the district council. But the decision to activate a TRO is a County Council one. The questions that remain unanswered are where was the consultation? and what was the County Councillor for Woodbridge doing during it?
No Loading restrictions in a business district like Church Street are not good for the overall good of the town considering people can have two hours free parking at Martlesham Heath which has no loading restrictions.
Where was the consultation and why wasn't the decision to have loading restrictions in Church Street challenged?
The Lib Dem County Councillor for Ipswich Road Woodbridge has been rather proliferantly electioneering against the Tories on Facebook. either that, or she is somewhat confused.
What is in a name? Quite a lot it seems. Our local Conservatives – who can manage to find THREE Town Councillor candidates for both of the picturesque Riverside and Seckford wards – didn't bother to field *a single person* to represent Kyson. This means the sitting LibDem, Green and Labour councillors remain in place unchallenged – and there's even an empty seat! Call that democracy? I ask the Conservatives: "Don't you find the residents on the edge of town worth representing?" They, like me, know perfectly well that you don't HAVE to live in the ward you represent. Several councillors don't, including a recent Mayor. So what don't the Conservatives like about Kyson?
The Conservatives did not have enough candidates to field candidates in all wards. If I'd known this at the time , I would have rectified the situation by standing in Kyson myself. Though I'd rather be more established in the community to have a better understanding of the issues before standing. As the Conservatives lost the by election in Kyson by four votes and there was no Lib Dem candidate, it was certainly somewhere where Conservatives wanted a candidate. Initially there was not going to be a by election last year in Kyson as was agreed by Woodbridge Town Council but furious that a Tory was going to take the seat unopposed, Caroline Page insisted on Woodbridge Town council spending money on an unneeded by election. Then the Lib Dems didn't put up a candidate. Why didn't the Yellow Peril put up a candidate in the by election? What is it they don't like about Kyson? Don't the Lib Dems find the residents on the edge of town worth representing? I've done a number of deliveries in Kyson as have others We have seen no Lib Dems there. The Lib Dems appear to be concentrating there campaign in Seckford.
Caroline Page's status which is clearly party political, coupled wiith her next FB post demonstrate the duplicitous nature of the Lib Dems.
I must have missed an invitation to attend, as I'm a great believer in maximising efficiency especially working for Woodbridge Town Council, should I be elected.
I'd be delighted to come down and join you for the next one if I can arrange staff cover – please let me know when and where.
Invitation, Chris? these three parties are already *in* the next town council! (And they have worked collaboratively together in the last town council). I cant speak for the other two parties but sadly, the last time the LibDems publicly mentioned community working, a LibDem councillor got a public earful for including the unrecognisable back of the head of a Conservative Town Councillor in the accompanying photo (!). If you get elected, I am sure these three parties would be happy that you wish to work collaboratively for the good of the town!
No doubt, what she means is that those three parties with the stall are all left wing and dislike Tories, therefore no Tories were invited to the event because the Lib Dems, Labour and the Green's are collaborating together against the Conservative Party. The Lib Dems and the Greens collaborated to stir up trouble at Woodbridge Town Council, disingenuously putting it across that Woodbridge Town council was somehow corrupt. The sleight, underhand, uncalled for attack on the town council had Caroline Page at the forefront of it, making the town clerk to do hundreds of hours unpaid work, obtaining information that was of no interest to the public. Caroline Page enjoys being a wicked, shameful, exaggerating stirrer as the Lib Dem campaign handbook tells Lib Dems to be. She is Lib Dem incarnate.
As always the Lib Dems are being wicked, shameful, exaggerating stirrers as their campaign handbook teaches them to be. So there's lots of disingenuity and down right nastiness being deployed in their campaigning. Naturally part of it is disingenuous graphs to make the electoral make up appear different than it actually is.
their authors called Nikki said that the Lib Dems were the vultures of British Politics. She got a lot of rap for breaking the facade of impartiality over there but what she said was true. The Lib Dems Vulterine nature isn't observed much in parliament due to their irrelevance there. But we occasionally observe their scavenging nature as they awkwardly flutter about pecking at Brexit, looking for morsels to exaggerate about, claiming to represent 48% of people instead of a minority of the middle class .
The Lib Dems show their vulterine nature more at a local level and exaggerate about their accomplishments.
For instance, in Ipswich, the Lib Dems are an irrelevance. Politically in Ipswich they have to flutter around looking for scraps. They only have two councillors at the borough but the way they talk sometimes, you'd think they had major influence on borough council policy. A council meeting is the only place you'll see a Ipswich Lib Dem outside Saint Margeret's Ward. They couldn't care less about the rest of Ipswich to the point that when it comes to the town as a whole, Ipswich people would get more from somebody who lives on Mars rather than a Lib Dem. This is because outside Saint Margeret's nobody votes for them. So they have to make do with pecking around for the few votes they can get in Saint Margeret's and that is what they do. Though voting for them in Saint Margeret's is pointless because their influence is zero.
Another way the Lib Dems vulterine nature is revealed is the way they are disgustingly attacking Woodbridge Town Council. In this they are showing themselves to be the dirty scavengers they are. They are attacking good, honest people who want what is best for their community, who are sacrificing their free time for no gain to themselves. It is shocking how low the Lib Dems are willing to go. But Vultures are cumbersome, clumsy creatures who could never soar like eagles. As it is with the Lib Dems. They wouldn't try such duplicitous, uncalled for, nasty tactics at parliamentary level or even at district council or borough council level because they would likely end up getting snared. They could never have enough influence to fly that high anyway. So they have to make do with pecking at a glorified parish council.
This year Gipping Ward has an excellent candidate. So good in fact, that I am prepared to head down there and hit the campaign trail for him.
Paul is concerned about the drug and gang problems in this area. His top priority is to make the streets safer, such as when he helped to launch the Neighbourhood Watch scheme at Jubilee Park, Rendlesham Road.
Several areas of Ipswich, including Gipping, have seen an increase in violent crime. Why has Ipswich Borough Council spent over £100,000 on community projects in South-East Ipswich and ignored Gipping? Gipping Ward deserves more and Paul's experience of community work will ensure Gipping gets it's fair share of funding.
Did you know that parking enforcement is totally the responsibility of the Borough Council yet they consistently fail to enforce the rules in Gipping Ward? Paul promises to be a strong voice at the Council and liaise with his Conservative County colleagues to seek solutions to ease congestion.
Gipping Ward has had 3 Labour Borough Councillors and 2 Labour County Councillors for many years. What real improvements have been seen in the area during this time? A few improvements were seen due to the hard work of a previous Conservative candidate, but for Gipping Ward more change is needed to make sure residents views are well represented. That change can only come about by Gipping Ward having a Conservative councillor. If Paul is elected, he will bring the change the area needs and will be a forceful voice at the council.
When it comes to enjoying to serve the local community and having a heart for Woodbridge, you are not going to find better than Geoff Holdcroft and Chris Mapey.
Geoff has been a district councillor for over 11 years, a cabinet member for 8 years and deputy leader for the last 4. He is also a Woodbridge Town Councillor and a former Mayor. Geoff is a Seckford Foundation governor where he has responsibility for supporting young people into apprenticeships. He is also chairman of the Regatta Association which runs the annual Regatta and Riverside Fair and is also a Lion's Club member.
Chris currently chairs the Market Hill Association and was involved in lobbying the Town Council to bring the weekly market back to Market Hill. He also runs the occasional small producer markets on the square. When Chris isn't working he is a keen photographer and his looking to offer classes soon in Woodbridge. He has also held a number of leadership roles with local Scout groups and is currently an Assistant Director Commissioner. Chris has also been involved in Rugby coaching.
Both Geoff and Chris are Directors of Choose Woodbridge, a community interest company that promotes Woodbridge. Last year Woodbridge came second in the Great British High Street Awards and both Geoff and Chris were rightly proud of the achievement. Choose Woodbridge clearly has high standing amongst Woodbridge residents.This is proven by the fact that people contact Choose Woodbridge rather than the town or district councils with issues that affect the town. Choose Woodbridge has a philosophy in line with the town motto of Preservation and Progrees and Geoff Holdcroft and Chris Mapey would be the ideal team on the district council to assure that Woodbridge continues to be preserved and continues to progress.

<'d> contraction — is it short for "would" or "had"?
I found this sentence:
She asked if I'd had a good time on my holiday
I'm not sure if 'd is the short form of would or of had.
Is there any criteria (for an English language learner) to understand the correct meaning of 'd?

"I'd" is used an abbreviation for both "I had" and "I would".
Which it is short for can be inferred from context.
If it is followed by a past participle, it stands for "I had":
I'd seen him before
I'd gone to the shops.
Otherwise, it stands for "I would":
I'd rather go anywhere else
I'd see him quite often
So in your sentence "I'd" can't stand for "I would", because "would" always has the basic verb form (go, see, have etc.) after it. That means it definitely has to be short of "I had".

In this case, the contraction avoids the construction "had had" (past perfect marker + past participle of "have"). While this construction is perfectly legal, the contracted form is slightly easier for some native speakers to parse and is gaining currency relative to the uncontracted form. – Kevin Mar 4 '17 at 20:14

SAN LUIS OBISPO (CN) – The California Coastal Commission illegally issued emergency dust-control permits at the Oceano Dunes State Vehicular Recreation Area, off-road drivers said in court this week, in a long-running fight.
Oceano Dunes is part of the 34-square-mile Guadalupe-Nipomo Dunes, which is the largest remaining dune system south of San Francisco, and the second-largest in California. The 5½-mile-long off-road is the only California State Park where vehicles may be driven on the beach.
Friends of Oceano Dunes sued the Coastal Commission on Tuesday in Superior Court, claiming it abused its authority by issuing emergency permits to the California Parks Department though there is no emergency.
Friends of Oceano Dunes has filed nine lawsuits over dune-riding in the past five years, five against federal agencies and four against the state.
The lengthy legal fight dates back to 2011, when the San Luis Obispo Air Pollution District released a study that found the Nipomo Mesa area, just inland of Oceano Dunes, often exceeded state standards for particulate matter or dust.
The study concluded that dust kicked up by off-road vehicles at the recreation area coupled with lack of vegetation due to the continued presence of vehicles was a contributing factor.
High levels of particulate matter can cause asthma, chronic lung disease and cardiovascular disease.
In reaction to the study, the pollution control district developed Rule 1001, mandating implementation of a particulate-matter reduction plan. California State Parks was designated as the lead agency to carry out the plan and begin scientific monitoring.
Friends of Oceano Dunes sued four times to strike the rule, which essentially has essentially been allowed to stand.
On the other side, Nipomo Mesa residents formed the Mesa Community Alliance and sued California State Parks in 2015, seeking to compel it to enforce Rule 1001.
The battle continues in the newest lawsuit, which claims the Parks Department got its permits from the Coastal Commission in an appropriate manner, and has not performed the necessary environmental analysis before installing dust control monitoring equipment.
Measures described in the dust-control project include fencing of about 40 acres, several 33-foot-high wind towers, meteorological instruments, solar panels and batteries.
Friends of Oceano Dunes asked the court revoke the emergency permits and prohibit State Parks from conducting dust control activities. It also wants the court to order certain closed parts of the recreational vehicle area reopened.
The Oceano Dunes are one of the most popular off-highway vehicle destinations in the country, generating a $171 million economic impact annually, according to a 2012 State Parks study . About 80 percent of off-road riders come from outside San Luis Obispo County, the study found.
The Coastal Commission's legal department did not immediately respond to a request for comment Thursday. Nor did Friends of Oceano Dunes president Jim Suty.

This year, the longest-running data center event in China will get a makeover. China Data Center Week will gather 1,000 professionals and industry heavyweights across almost all the industry to the Shanghai Tower Conference Center, at the heart of Shanghai.
Dedicated to the enterprise-scale IT infrastructure segment, the national gathering draws a serious crowd and sets the industry's agenda for the year to come, issuing a challenge to the industry on how to handle the unrelenting and exponential growth in data processing demands being driven by cloud, IoT, smart cities and hyperscale computing.
For one week each year, the China data center market comes together to explore the state of the industry, to network and make new connections. The four day event will include a major conference and expo, multiple business and networking events (such as partner events and networking parties) and a launch for DCD's regional awards, along with training courses and data center tours.
Data centers are in the middle of disruption. New developments including artificial intelligence, edge, 5G and software-defined data centers are becoming more influential. The disaggregated data center will be the next main force in the digital economy, bringing in another influx of enterprises.
As the industry builds a full ecosystem from mud to cloud, you can join with other senior decision-makers at the event to discus how to deal with the strategic and operational challenges arising from new business drivers and technology disruptors, which impact the whole mission critical infrastructure sector.
The delegate community at the DCD>Enterprise event is restricted to senior technology and business executives, managers, and engineering professionals directly engaged in the IT, data center, telecom/network, and cloud infrastructure at the end-user level.
Qualified end-users can attend DCD>Enterprise as a delegate at no fee. Limited to 1,000 delegates, we urge you to apply for your complementary pass(es) now and put this conference in your calendar.

Disney leads companies announcing layoffs; big airline job cuts loom
written by Pippa Stevens
A number of job cuts have been announced in the last 24 hours as companies grapple with the ongoing impact of the coronavirus pandemic.
On Tuesday, Disney said it will lay off 28,000 employees across its parks, experiences and consumer products divisions amid prolonged closures at its California-based theme parks as well as limited attendance. According to a statement, 67% of the laid-off workers were part time.
Materials science company Dow said Wednesday that it plans to reduce its global workforce costs by approximately 6%, but did not indicate the number of jobs that will be eliminated. The company said it will take a current-quarter charge of $500 million to $600 million in connection with the restructuring, which will include severance and related benefit costs, among other things.
The energy sector has been among the hardest hit by the pandemic as a near standstill in global travel, as well as implementation of work-from-home policies led to a drop-off in demand for oil products. With crude prices staying lower for longer, a number of companies have already gone bankrupt. The ones left standing have been implementing widespread cost-cutting measures.
Royal Dutch Shell said Wednesday that it plans to cut between 7,000 and 9,000 jobs by the end of 2022. The company said that about 1,500 people have agreed to take voluntary cuts this year. Meanwhile U.S. refiner Marathon Petroleum reportedly began another round of job cuts on Tuesday, according to Reuters.
The airline industry has also been among the hardest hit, and big job cut announcements could come as soon as Thursday. Barring additional federal aid, U.S. airlines are on the verge of shedding more than 30,000 jobs.
The terms of $25 billion in federal payroll support that bars job cuts through Sept. 30 expires Wednesday night, meaning furloughs could start Thursday. Airlines are clamoring for additional aid from lawmakers to preserve jobs through March 31, a proposal that has won bipartisan support in Congress and from the Trump administration, but there isn't yet a deal on a national coronavirus relief package that could include the assistance.
United Airlines and American Airlines make up the lion's share of the planned 30,000 cuts. The staff reductions could have been deeper but tens of thousands of workers across the industry volunteered for buyouts and leaves of absence, which have helped reduce costs.
In the U.S., the employment picture has been improving since a record 20.5 million jobs were lost in April amid the coronavirus-induced economic shutdown. In August nonfarm payrolls increased by 1.37 million and the unemployment rate tumbled to 8.4%. On Wednesday, an ADP survey showed a gain of 749,000 jobs for private payrolls in September, which was ahead of the 600,000 expected by Dow Jones.
However, while jobs have started to return, unemployment levels remain elevated compared with historical standards, and these latest job cut announcements point to the ongoing and long-lasting consequences of the pandemic.
Big cos are making big layoffs as Congress ponders another break without stimulus and many states (see California) prohibit working. Lawmakers are blowing it, again.

American Airlines, United to Cut 32,000 Jobs as Washington Debates Relief
written by Alison Sider
American Airlines Group Inc. and United Airlines Holdings Inc. will go forward for now with a total of more than 32,000 job cuts Thursday after lawmakers were unable to agree on a broad coronavirus-relief package, the airlines told employees.
The airlines' moves put more pressure on lawmakers who have negotiated on and off for months over an aid package that could include relief for airlines and other hard-hit industries like restaurants and small businesses. Both carriers said they would bring workers back if a deal is reached in the next few days.
"We implore our elected leaders to reach a compromise, get a deal done now, and save jobs," United said Wednesday night. The airline said over 13,400 employees will be out of a job starting Thursday.
American, which has planned deeper cuts than any other carrier, also told Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin that it will bring its 19,000 workers back if lawmakers can approve more aid in the next few days, Chief Executive Doug Parker told employees in a letter. Airlines considered postponing their cuts—something Mr. Mnuchin urged them to do earlier Wednesday.
But Mr. Parker said too much uncertainty remained.
"I am extremely sorry we have reached this outcome. It is not what you deserve," he wrote to employees.
Conditions attached to airlines' $25 billion in earlier government aid—approved as part of a broad economic package passed in March—had largely insulated their workers from the effects of deep declines in travel.
That aid was meant to help airlines manage through what they hoped would be a temporary crisis without resorting to mass layoffs. While air-travel demand has climbed from the depths it reached in April, it remains nearly 70% lower than a year ago. Analysts forecast that U.S. airlines will lose $30 billion this year, according to FactSet data.
So while tens of thousands of workers opted to retire early or took buyouts as airlines scrambled to cut spending, most have been able to stay in their jobs until now.
Airlines have raised billions of dollars from capital markets and in some cases from additional government loans, and are in little danger of imminently running out of money. But they say they don't want to pay workers they don't need while they are burning through millions of dollars a day and flying a fraction of their usual schedules.
Airlines and their labor unions have lobbied aggressively for another $25 billion to pay workers for another six months, and continued the push into the final hours of negotiations on Wednesday.
While Republicans and Democrats both supported aid to airlines and several other items under consideration, they have remained split on other issues and have been unable to come to terms on how much to spend overall.
Mr. Mnuchin and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D., Calif.) renewed their stalled negotiations this week, though they failed to reach an agreement Wednesday afternoon. Still, Democrats and the White House continued to seek common ground. The House of Representatives opted to delay a vote on a $2.2 trillion coronavirus-aid package, which Democratic aides said would allow the two sides to keep talking. As it stands now, the legislation has no chance of passing in the Senate.
Labor unions, whose members have picketed and inundated lawmakers with letters and tweets, also said they plan to continue ratcheting up their efforts.
American and United account for the bulk of the job cuts scheduled for this week, though a few other carriers have planned smaller reductions. Allegiant Air said it remained optimistic and decided to hold off on the 275 job cuts it had planned. Hawaiian Airlines said it would go ahead with its furloughs.
Several airlines have whittled down the number of jobs they plan to cut, offering buyout and early-retirement offers and striking deals with unions to cut costs. Some, including Southwest Airlines Co., aren't planning any furloughs at all this week, though they have warned they might not be able to avoid them indefinitely without aid.
United, which initially warned 36,000 workers that their jobs were at risk, struck a deal to delay any furloughs of pilots until June.
Both United and American are set to receive larger-than-expected loans from the Treasury under a government loan program set up in the Cares Act passed in March, separate from the aid for worker salaries. United said Wednesday that it has secured a $5.17 billion term-loan facility and has been told the Treasury will increase that to as much as $7.5 billion. United said it had already drawn $520 million. American said last week it had secured a $5.5 billion loan facility that could also be increased to $7.5 billion.
Lawmakers have also introduced a pair of bills in the House and Senate that would focus solely on aid for the aviation industry, which could gain more traction in the coming days, though some industry observers have said it might be more difficult to pass legislation that benefits only one industry.
For workers, the last-minute wrangling has added to months of uncertainty about their futures. "I'm scared," said Leo Valladares, a flight attendant set to be furloughed this week. The coronavirus outbreak in Asia was barely on his radar when he began training in February after two years with a smaller carrier. Now he is faced with spending his savings as he looks for work.
"I thought it was going to be a steady job," he said.
Sept. 30, 2020 - @SpeakerPelosi You are still ignoring Struggling Americans! We need that 2nd Stimulus now. We have struggles, unlike you & your Elitist family. You are suppose to help us; but you, and you alone, are not allowing a 2nd Stimulus. Why? Why? Why? America is hurting!

"I want you to get mad!"
On November 30, the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation will host a hearing on hydrofracking in New York State. Hydraulic fracturing, or "hydrofracking," is one of the most rapidly expanding forms of natural gas extraction in the United States and around the world (for more information on this process go here). So far, this method of extraction has spread to over 34 states, and more and more Americans are becoming aware of this practice and its effects on the environment. However, few New Yorkers are aware of how they fit into the national picture.
Here's how it works. New York City consumes a lot of energy. Our demand for energy is strong enough to dictate policy for energy providers up and down the East Coast. Earlier this year, Mayor Bloomberg famously donated $50 million to the National Sierra Club's Beyond Coal campaign, and has indicated that he would like to see New York City move beyond coal-powered electricity. Environmentalists greeted this news with mixed emotions; on the one hand, coal is an extremely carbon intensive fossil fuel, and so moving beyond coal is a worthy goal for anyone concerned with the state of the climate. On the other hand, the city is ramping up investment in Natural Gas infrastructure, and if the demand gap left by coal is to be filled by natural gas, it could potentially send the level of hydrofracked gas into the stratosphere.
An increased demand for natural gas would almost certainly spur increased hydrofracking here in New York State. Both Mayor Bloomberg and Governor Cuomo would like you to believe that hydrofracking in New York State will not affect the quality of New York City's water. However, scientists from the Department of Environmental Protection disagree – at a City Council hearing in October, DEP scientists testified that the buffer zone (the legal distance between a hydrofracking site and a watershed) that has been specified for hydrofracking in New York State is far too small to protect against contamination, and that the current legal framework for regulating this practice on a site-by-site basis is woefully inadequate.
Finally, there's a fundamental moral problem with the state's position. The state's policy toward hydrofracking rests on the logic that New York City dwellers will go along with a plan that protects them from harm, even if it diminishes the livelihood of their upstate neighbors. Of course, the facts contradict the DEC's assertion that New York City will be safe—if hydrofracking proceeds in upstate New York, it is unlikely that current legal regulations will be sufficient to protect New York City's drinking water. But suppose that the DEC were right. Suppose New York City could be protected. How insulting, to think that we would allow our neighbors to be poisoned, to have their land degraded, their healthcare costs increased and their businesses damaged, all so that we may continue our energy habits. For New Yorkers to be silent on this issue is to affirm an ugly and cynical vision of our character. It is our absolute duty to stand in solidarity with our neighbors—as the consumers who will supposedly benefit from upstate hydrofracking, our voice rings particularly loudly on this issue, and it sends a powerful message when we New Yorkers voice our objections to this plan. Ultimately, mobilization in New York City may be enough to determine the course of the energy industry in this state for years to come.
That's why it is so important for New York city residents to turn out to the hearing at the Tribeca Performing Arts Center this Wednesday. The hearing is at 199 Chambers Street, and will be going on all afternoon from 12:00 to 9:00 (for a complete schedule and more details go here). As a great New Yorker once said, "if you don't know, now you know." I'll see you there.

Gorkhaland, a demand whose time has come: Demand of the sons of the soil and the myths that tarnish the movement
The aspired Gorkhaland region comprises of the districts of Darjeeling, Kalimpong, and parts of Alipurduars and Jalpaiguri.
Upendra
When Jamyang Tsering Namgyal of Ladakh gave one of the most passionate, factual and heart-breaking accounts of how Article 370 had kept the people of Ladakh deprived, discriminated against and treated as a second class citizens, he forced people across India and the world to take note. Far away from Ladakh from where he belongs, or Delhi where he was giving his speech, people in the Eastern Himalayan region of Darjeeling hills, Terai and Dooars were glued onto their TVs. For us here in Darjeeling region, Jamyang wasn't just describing the pathos of Ladakh, he was resonating each and every sentiment that we the people aspiring for Gorkhaland statehood have felt and lived through in West Bengal.
'Gorkhaland' the very name evokes strong sentiments – from a motley crew of passionate supporters to very dedicated gang of opposers, to a vast majority of well-meaning but clueless neutrals who irrespective of their understanding of the issue or absolute lack of it, comment on it passionately.
Trying to explain the nuances of the demand for a 'Gorkhaland state' individually is very difficult, which is why it is imperative to explain the finer details of Gorkhaland demand in detail.
I am basing this article on a Q and A format so that everyone reading the article will find it easy to understand the issue in depth.
Everyday Identity Blues
Curious stranger: Hi! You look a little strange…Where are you from? Nepal?
Me: India
Curious stranger: Let me guess… North East
Me: Darjeeling
Curious stranger: Oh! It's in Nepal no?
Me: No, it's in West Bengal
Curious stranger: Nice! So you are a Bong? Do you speak Bengali?
Me: No, I am a Gorkha, and our lingua franca is Nepali.
Curious stranger: Huh! So you immigrated to India?
Me: No, I was born here
Curious stranger: When did your family come to India?
Me: We didn't immigrate, we came with the land. We are indigenous to the land.
Curious stranger: Like… seriously?
Me: Yeah! Like very very seriously.
On and on, every day we the Gorkhas have to face one set or other of these series of questions. Our children and youth who have to leave home for study and work grow up with this "crisis of identity" where we have to assert and reassert our Indian-ness day in and day out.
In the plainest of terms, the demand for Gorkhaland state is an attempt on the part of people from Darjeeling hills, Terai and Dooars to do away with this "crisis of identity" that Gorkhas across India have and have had to face and to assert our Indian Identity. So when Jamyang spoke of the people of Ladakh wanting to become Indian for over 70-years, we here in Darjeeling absolutely understood what he meant. He was, in more ways than he knew to narrate our plight.
I hope the following series of Q and A will help many of you understand the demand and its implications.
Is 'Gorkhaland' a demand for separation from India?
Foremost, let us all be clear about one thing – the demand for Gorkhaland is not a demand for separation from India. It is a demand for the formation of a separate state within the constitutional and geographical contours of India. Much like how Jharkhand, Uttarakhand, Chattisgarh, Telangana were formed, people living in Darjeeling hills, Terai and Dooars have been demanding the formation of a separate state called Gorkhaland, away from West Bengal.
What areas are being demanded as Gorkhaland?
Is there any historical context to these particular areas being demanded as Gorkhaland?
The History of Darjeeling hills, Terai and Dooars is distinguished by one peculiar aspect – it has always been in a state of flux. Given its geostrategic location, this region was a hotly contested landmass between Nepal, Bhutan, Sikkim, and Tibet. For centuries the dominant kingdom among these four took control of this region.
From 1662 until 1777 this region was under the Kingdom of Sikkim; however, in 1777 Nepal Army had defeated the King of Sikkim and established their dominance in this region. In 1816 the British Army defeated the Nepal Army, after which they took over and handed over these lands to the King of Sikkim as a gesture of friendship.
In 1835 the Brits took these lands on lease from the King of Sikkim to establish a sanatorium but ended up establishing their military garrison here. By the year 1866, the British had annexed the present day of Kalimpong and Doors from Bhutan following the defeat of Bhutan in the Anglo-Bhutan war of 1865, they then added this newly annexed area to the existing Darjeeling district – which we today know as Darjeeling Hills, Terai and Dooars.
It is these areas that never shared any history with Bengal, which the people here are demanding to be formed into a state called Gorkhaland.
Who are Gorkhas in the Indian context?
The 'Gorkhas' in the Indian context are Indian citizens of Nepali ethnicity, who live across the length and breadth of India. The term 'Gorkha' in the Indian context is used to differentiate the Indian citizens of Nepali ethnicity from the citizens of Nepal, who prefer to be called 'Nepalese.'
Did the Gorkhas immigrate to India?
Majority of the people who identify themselves as 'Gorkhas' in India are sons and daughters of the soil, and their forefathers 'came with the land.' They did not immigrate to India. However, it is well recognized that there are many immigrants from Nepal, who have also settled in India, post-independence.
What do you mean by 'came with the land'?
The Nepali kingdom in the 17th and 18th Century was spread all over the Himalayas. In the year 1777, Nepal had appropriated the Kingdoms of Sikkim, Kumaon, Garhwal and Kangra. However, following the Anglo-Nepal war of 1814-1816, Nepal agreed to cede most of the Terai region, the lands of Sikkim, Kumaon, Garhwal and Kangra to the British through the Treaty of Sugauli (Sugauli Sandhi), which was signed on 4 March 1816. After the Anglo-British war of 1865, the British appropriated the lands that are today known as Kalimpong and Dooars. Therefore, all the people of Nepali, Sikkimese, Tibetan and Bhutanese origin who were living in these tracts automatically came under the British and subsequently under India (after the British left), hence the term – 'came with the land.'
Were there 'Gorkhas' in Darjeeling region prior to the British coming to India?
Recorded history shows that the region was inhabited as early as the 9th century. When Guru Padmasambhava had passed through this region in the 9th century, he had established Buddhism in the region – which indicates the presence of people living in the areaway, before the British ever landed in Asia.
In the Indian context, the word 'Gorkha' is an umbrella term used to identify a varied group of people, as one unified entity. In terms of Darjeeling communities such as the Róng – Lepchas, the Tsong – Limbus, the Kirat – Rai, the Dukpas, the Bhutias and the Magars are the aboriginal/ethnic/native people of the region, who constitute a large chunk of the 'Gorkha' people living in the Darjeeling region. Hence, it can be safely said that the majority of the 'Gorkhas,' who belong to these communities and are living in Darjeeling, ethnic to the region.
In addition, other groups of people such as the Gurungs, Thapas, Chettris, Newars, Sunwars, Bahuns, Kamis, Damais, Sarkis, Bhutias, Thamis etc, traversed these lands for trade or settled here following wars. For instance, the establishment of the Kingdom of Sikkim in 1642 brought in a large Bhutia population from Tibet and Bhutan into the region. Similarly, the Nepali incursions starting from as early as the 1700s brought many present-day Nepalis to the region.
While kingdoms changed, the people remained.
Over centuries the people from this region could be broadly categorized as – Nepali, Bhutia, Lepcha, Dukpa, Tsong, Rai, Magar of the hills, and Nepali, Dukpa, Koche (Rajbanshi), Meche, Rabha, and Toto of the plains.
Later Adivasis were brought in from Chota-Nagpur plateau to work in the tea gardens of Dooars, then Bengalis and another mainland Indians gradually came and settled in the region.
Around the 1890s the dominant Nepali-Bhutia-Lepcha groups subsumed the rest of the hill tribes into their fold and a unified identity "NeBuLa" was used to define the hill people. In Darjeeling, this gradually metamorphosed into the term "Gorkha".
Hence, one can safely concur that the 'Gorkha' presence far supersedes the British arrival in the region.
It is important to note that today, the term 'Gorkha' is used to indicate people who are from this region – which today includes everyone from Bengali Gorkha, Bihari Gorkha to Marwari Gorkha etc.
When was the demand for Gorkhaland first raised?
The first demand for a separate administrative unit for the Darjeeling-Dooars region (a la Separate State in today's term) was first raised by the Hillmen's Association in 1907, making the demand for a separate state constituting the Darjeeling hills, Terai and Dooars region the oldest demand for statehood in India.
Why did the British not entertain this demand?
The only reason as to why such a demand was not entertained by the then British Government is because the Darjeeling and Dooars region was a highly contested geographical region which they had taken on lease from Sikkim and Bhutan. The British had declared our region to be a "non-regulated area", which meant that the rules and laws developed for the rest of India would not be automatically applied to the region.
What historical claims does West Bengal have over the Darjeeling-Dooars region?
Ironically None! There is no shared history between the Darjeeling-Dooars region and the rest of West Bengal.
Historically, the district of Darjeeling never formed a part of Bengal and no King who ruled the plains of Bengal ever had any suzerainty over those areas. Ethnologically, the Mongoloid and semi-Mongoloid races inhabiting the Darjeeling hills, Terai and Dooars have more affinity with the Hill tribes of Assam than with the people in the plains of Bengal. Geographically the district of Darjeeling, Kalimpong, Alipurduar, Jalpaiguri and Cooch Behar are completely cut off and distinctly different from the rest of West Bengal. Linguistically, the people residing in this region have a greater affinity with Hindi, the Lingua Franca of India, than with the state language Bengali
Why is Darjeeling a part of West Bengal?
Darjeeling hills, Terai and Dooars were forcefully included into West Bengal without any consultation with the local populace using two flimsy acts enacted by WB Legislative Assembly:
The Requisitioned Land (Apportionment of Compensation) Act, 1949 (51 of 1949). Darjeeling District – transformed to the Absorbed Areas(Laws) Act, 1954.
The West Bengal Raw Jute Futures Act, 1948 (West Bengal Act No. 25 of 1948)
Why are people in Darjeeling demanding Gorkhaland?
The demand for a separate administrative unit (a separate state in today's term) for the Darjeeling region had started as early as 1907. However, the influx of Bangladeshi refugees starting in 1965 and later state-sponsored illegal immigrants from Bangladesh post-1971 for vote bank by subsequent West Bengal governments led to the marginalization of the ethnic Gorkha, Kamtapuri and the Adivasi communities of the region. The demand for Gorkhaland is a demand to protect the identity, culture, history, traditions and the rich bond of people from the Darjeeling region, which they share with their land.
Furthermore, the Gorkhas from the Darjeeling region have continued to be labelled by the fascist and state-sponsored Bengali organizations such as Bangla O Bangla Bhasa Bachao Samity, Amra Bangali, Jan Jagaran Morcha, Jan Chetna Morcha as illegal immigrants and the demand for Gorkhaland illegal. They have rendered the ethnic Gorkha people as an intruder in his/her own ancestral lands. This has caused widespread socio-economic and political marginalization of the Gorkhas. All these factors have resulted in the Gorkhas being under-represented, stereotyped and communally discriminated in almost all sectors.
Moreover, Bengal has always been colonial in its approach to this region. The large revenues collected from the Darjeeling region have been used to develop other parts of Bengal while neglecting even the basic infrastructure in the region.
Case in point: Since the year 2002, over 3000 malnutrition-related death (death due to starvation) have been reported from the tea gardens of this region and yet the West Bengal government has not taken any steps to alleviate the sufferings of the people in the region. Instead, they have continued to deny the tea garden workers minimum wages.
Is the proposed Gorkhaland region economically viable?
The proposed Gorkhaland region is rich in bio-diversity, scenic views, hydro potentials, tourism, NTFP, Tea and numerous other resources, making this a resource-abundant region.
Currently, the aspired Gorkhaland region contributes to the least 20-23% of the total revenue collected in West Bengal. Even the most conservative estimates put the revenue potential from tea, tourism and hydro from the proposed Gorkhaland area at over 20,000 Crores per annum. In return, West Bengal only spends around Rs 5000 crores in the region annually (including salary paid to Govt officials). Thus, draining off a large portion of the revenue collected from the region.
It is estimated that the revenues from Tea and Tourism alone will make the proposed Gorkhaland region a revenue surplus state.
The revenues collected from hydro development, NTFP, cross-border trades and other resources will make the proposed state of Gorkhaland as one of the most economically vibrant states in India.
What is Chicken Neck region and how will Gorkhaland impact the National Security or our nation?
Darjeeling district is home to the proverbial "chicken neck" region, a roughly 200-km stretch which borders four nations — Nepal, Bhutan, Bangladesh and Tibet — in distances varying from 25 kms to 60 kms. It has seen a large-scale influx of illegal migrants from Bangladesh, which started as a trickle in 1965 and turned into a gushing torrent post the 1971 Indo-Pakistan war, that lead to the creation of Bangladesh.
The 'Siliguri Corridor' has today become one of the most porous border regions in the world, and Pakistan's ISI has used this to operate its agents freely. In fact, in 2002, the writer Pinaki Bhattacharya had highlighted how the ISI was using the 'Siliguri Corridor' as a supply route to provide arms and ammunition via Bangladesh to insurgents in the North East. Following investigations into the Burdwan bomb blast, in May 2015, the National Investigating Agency released a report that explained how Jamaat-ul-Mujahideen Bangladesh (JMB) had networks in West Bengal and lower districts of Assam, and that JMB had been using West Bengal as a safe sanctuary.
Given all this, if there is one state in India which is actually a safe haven for terrorists, it is West Bengal, and if the state government was capable of addressing national security concerns, it would have done so a long time ago. The presence of ISI modules and terrorists of the various ilk in Bengal actually prove that the state government in Bengal isn't able to protect the vulnerable "chicken neck" area.
One possible reason for this could be that the state capital and its power centre, Kolkata, is located too far away from the region, because of which the state administration isn't able to focus much on the north Bengal districts.
A state of Gorkhaland, including the hills of Darjeeling, Terai and Dooars, would, therefore, help ensure better safety and security for the "chicken neck" area. Smaller states are also easier to govern and the presence of the entire state machinery being in one region would help keep close tabs on infiltrators, unlike what is possible out of Kolkata.
Why is West Bengal opposed to the formation of Gorkhaland?
The state of West Bengal is one of the most economically backward states in India. Even though it is the 5th largest in terms of its size, but due to the high debt burden of over Rs. 4.35 lakh Crores, West Bengal is practically bankrupt and is highly dependent on the Central Government and the revenues generated from the proposed Gorkhaland region for its sustenance and economic survival.
So despite all the rhetoric stating, "Darjeeling is Bengal's Abhinno Aanga," Bengal is scared of losing its hen, which is currently laying the golden eggs. It is scared of losing the cash cow that has continued to discount the development of Bengal's other regions over and over since independence.
Further, Bengal has always held a parochial, colonial and discriminatory attitude towards the proposed Gorkhaland region and continues to do so. Every time the Gorkhas have demanded justice or our rights, we are labelled as intruder, terrorists, and foreigners in our own land.
Hence the urgent need for Gorkhaland state to be formed.
We are hopeful that someday soon, our Member of Parliament from Darjeeling will also be able to speak with the same passion and emotion that Jamyang Tsering Namgyal did and tell the nation how the formation of Gorkhaland state or Union Territory will benefit mother India.

Last week I officially assumed the role of chair of TIABC. I'm excited by the opportunity but have some pretty big shoes to fill following three years with Jim Humphrey at the helm.
Since I joined the board a couple of years ago, I've witnessed the remarkable growth of our sector, yet at the same time recognized the complexity of the issues BC's visitor economy faces. And as much as we've made progress on a number of files, there is no shortage of work to do from an advocacy perspective.
As TIABC has been hearing from stakeholders throughout the province over the course of the fall, it's incumbent on us as industry to propose solutions or options to government for tackling obstacles such as labour challenges, housing shortages, infrastructure needs, crisis recovery, taxes, species at risk and multiple other concerns.
What's more, it is our collective responsibility as sectors, communities, DMOs and operators to ensure that tourism takes its rightful place as one of BC's leading and sustainable industries. I look forward to working with TIABC's new board on these important ideas and issues.
Speaking of our board...I am delighted to welcome three new directors to TIABC including Suzanne Gatrell, general manager of the Oswego Hotel in Victoria; Vivek Sharma, general manager of the Sun Peaks Grand Hotel & Conference Centre; and Jamie Cox, vice president, Campgrounds, BC Lodging & Campground Association. All three will be a tremendous asset to the team.
One final note...Walt and I are off to Lac Leamy, Quebec at the end of this month to attend the annual TIAC conference where we'll have the opportunity to meet with our national and provincial counterparts, as well as BC MPs. We look forward to reporting on our progress.
As always, TIABC wants to hear from you. Please drop me a line anytime at achan@rockymountaineer.com.
TIABC's AGM was held on November 8th at the beautiful Van Dusen Botanical Garden in Vancouver.
The meeting included elections for six board positions.
Suzanne has been overseeing The Oswego Hotel in Victoria as general manager for seven years. Her 28 years in hospitality in all areas of hotel operations and sales and marketing has provided the foundation and platform to developing Kingsbridge Management and its properties. Being of service in her community and empowering and supporting women in leadership roles are strong values for Suzanne. She has served on various volunteer boards and currently is on a second term with the Board for Destination Greater Victoria.
Vivek is a hospitality and tourism professional with more than 25 years of experience in the global tourism & hospitality industry. His career has taken him around the world. Currently the general manager of the Sun Peaks Grand Hotel & Conference Centre , Vivek has led the hotel successfully through a challenging de-brand and re-brand process and is currently spearheading a multi-million-dollar renovation. He is currently a member of the Board of Directors with Tourism Sun Peaks, the BC Hotel Association and the Kamloops Chamber of Commerce.
Jamie has extensive experience in senior resort management including Nakiska Resort, Hemlock Valley Ski Resort, Mount Seymore, Lake Louise and Hudson Bay Mountain Resort. Since 2014, Jamie has been managing Gallagher Lake Resort, experiencing double-digit growth occupancy over the past four years. Jame is also the VP, Campgrounds with the BC Lodging & Campgrounds Association.
Once a year, people in businesses across BC get an opportunity to tell government what matters most to them, their sector, and their region —through the BC Chamber of Commerce's annual Collective Perspective Survey.
As a member of the BC Chamber, TIABC was able to contribute a tourism-related question that is expected to provide good information to share with government in the weeks leading up to the 2019 Budget.
We strongly encourage all members to complete the Collective Perspectives survey, which is the most comprehensive economic survey in the province.

Indigenous Tourism BC (ITBC) has released a three-year Tourism Performance Audit Report that reveals record-breaking growth of the province's Indigenous tourism industry. Compiled by O'Neil Marketing & Consulting, the report offers insights into the performance of Indigenous tourism in BC between 2013 and 2017.
The Thompson Okanagan Tourism Association (TOTA) along with its core partners Indigenous Tourism of British Columbia (ITBC), Tourism Kelowna, Westbank First Nation, Shuswap Nation Tribal Council, Shackan Indian Band, Lower Nicola Indian Band, were chosen as the successful bidder to host the 8th annual International Indigenous Tourism Conference (IITC) in Kelowna in 2019.
Each year, IITC brings together delegates from the Canadian tourism industry, First Nations, Inuit, and Metis communities, as well as representatives from global Indigenous tourism organizations to discuss Indigenous tourism topics, barriers, opportunities and trends across Canada and the world. During the culmination of a successful 7th IITC in Saskatoon two weeks ago, the announcement of next year's host destination in the Thompson Okanagan was celebrated by over 600 delegates.
Skate Canada International is returning to Kelowna in October 2019, marking the second time the event has been held in the Okanagan. The 2019 Skate Canada International, which will be held from October 25 to 27, is the third major event that Tourism Kelowna has helped secure this year, the others being the 2018 Winn Rentals World Mixed Curling Championships and the 2020 Memorial Cup Presented by KIA.
While this summer's extensive wildfires may not have affected Whistler's tourism industry in a direct way, experts say they highlight the need for the area to communicate its conditions in real time. It's important for operators to communicate the reality of the conditions in Whistler, or else the public may assume that conditions are worse than they are.
Frank Antoine is the co-ordinator of the Shuswap Indigenous Tourism Strategy. Antoine says the initiative will include entrepreneur and tourism and industry training, artisan inventory and marketing, increased cultural presence, development of a committee to develop more indigenous events and creation of protocols that work for the Indigenous community.
The BC Seniors Games announced that a partnership of Greater Victoria cities, Victoria, Saanich and Langford, will host the 2021 Senior Games. The 55-plus B.C. Games is an annual, multi-sport competition celebrating active seniors. The Games attract more than 3,000 athletes, participating in 23 sports, over five days. An economic impact study in 2017 found that the games provide more than $3.3 million to the host community.
In the Spring of 2018, the BCWI undertook an extensive stakeholder engagement process to identify what is important to the BC wine industry. The next phase is a a long-term strategic plan that includes a clear process for stakeholder and industry engagement, feedback, and buy-in.
The final cruise ship of the 2018 season set sail last Saturday, marking the end of the 32nd consecutive cruise season at Canada Place terminal at the Port of Vancouver. Vancouver welcomed more than 900,000 cruise passengers on 243 ship visits, reflecting a 7% increase in passenger volumes over 2017. Cruise continues to be a key economic driver for the region as each cruise ship adds about $3 million to the local economy.
The final cruise ship call at the Ogden Point Cruise Terminal in Victoria, took place on Sunday, Oct. 14th. The Greater Victoria Harbour Authority (GVHA) welcomed close to 640,000 passengers and 260,000 crew on 250 ship calls.
Like it or not, some kicking and screaming, every province in Canada will join British Columbia in putting a price on carbon as a result of a federal carbon tax mandate. So how can tourism businesses manage risks and capitalize on this as an opportunity to cut inefficiency?
The first step is to measure your carbon exposure, or risk, by undertaking a carbon inventory of your business. This might sound complicated, but carbon management software takes a bunch of complex factors and equations and makes this a simple task.

Cortney Tidwell
Possessing a beautiful voice and an ethereal melodic sense that suggests a freak folk variation on Mazzy Star or This Mortal Coil, singer and songwriter Cortney Tidwell was born into a family of musicians, but in her early life this heritage seemed as much a curse as a blessing. Tidwell was born in Nashville, TN, where her grandfather had been a successful recording artist and a guest on the Grand Ol' Opry, her father was a veteran A&R man, her mother had landed several singles on the country charts in the 1970s, and their circle of friends included the likes of Townes Van Zandt and Jack Clement. However, in the mid-'70s Tidwell's mother wad diagnosed with manic depression, and her parents split up as her mother sunk deeper and deeper into depression, only to die alone in 1999 at the age of 49. As a child, Tidwell would play piano to escape the madness surrounding her, but with time she came to associate music with the pain of her childhood and gave up playing for many years. However, around the time of her mother's passing (which coincided with the suicide of a close friend), Tidwell returned to songwriting to make sense of her feelings, and after singing in a cover band and forming a punk combo with a friend, she began recording her own songs using a makeshift home studio, playing all the instruments herself. In time, Tidwell began playing her material in public, and while some audiences were nonplussed with her songs, she soon made friends and fans of some of Nashville's most acclaimed musicians, including members of Lambchop and Hands Off Cuba. In the spring of 2005, Tidwell released her first record, a self-titled six-song EP released through the budding Nashville label Sissy Bragg Records. While touring as an opening act for Lou Barlow, Tidwell's music came to the attention of the British label Even Records, who signed her and released a second EP in early 2006. Several months later, Tidwell's first full-length album appeared, Don't Let the Stars Keep Us Tangled Up; it was produced by Tidwell and her husband Todd Tidwell, and featured guest appearances from Kurt Wagner and William Tyler of Lambchop.

As a registered nurse everyday I see where there are addicts created within the healthcare system. I have met so many patients who were not always addicts but have now become addicts.
My inspiration came after meeting a young man that I was caring for. Here is his story. This patient is an ex-military and a nurse who once held a very prominent position as a registered nurse for a great teaching hospital. This patient was admitted because he had chest pain, received morphine for the pain, also his alcohol level was extremely elevated. He is a married man with two children and his wife is a teacher. At present he is going through a divorce. After admitting the patient and getting to know him, he spoke about the time he was in the army and got injured and was treated with opioids regularly for pain this caused him to become addicted to opioids, his drinking began way before his addiction to opioids but now it has gotten worse and is an alcoholic. This has caused an enormous strain on his homelife and now his wife is ready for a divorce and in turn he is severely depressed and his addiction has worsened. His focus on life has begun to change drastically, he came from a well educated ex-military and director of nursing who would think of ways to make his department function well, with great ideas and great attitude to an addict.
Seeing this so regularly has peeked my interest and I have a lot to share based on this topic and how to overcome addiction! Let me know what I am missing here by leaving me your comments and I will surely add it!
