Q: Why does my R function work step by step but not when run as an execution I'm very confused by this and I'm sure it's something simple, hopefully someone can point me in the right direction.
I am working on a text mining project with the TM package and when I run the code in the console it works perfectly however when I call the function itself, the final output is empty.
Here's some sample code:
func <- function(filename, count=100, full=FALSE){

  packages <- c("ggplot2", "tm")
  if (length(setdiff(packages, rownames(installed.packages()))) > 0) {
    install.packages(setdiff(packages, rownames(installed.packages())))
  }
  library(tm)
  library(ggplot2)

  ## get data
  data <- read.csv(filename)

  ##Create corpus and remove formatting from text
  Tickets <- Corpus(DataframeSource(data))
  Tickets = tm_map(Tickets, removePunctuation)
  Tickets = tm_map(Tickets, tolower)

  ##Create stopwords vector to remove complete list from data
  stopwords <- read.csv("stopwords.csv", header=FALSE)
  stopwords <- as.character(stopwords[,1])
  stopwords <- c(stopwords("english"), stopwords)

  ## create full analasis of whole data, if selected by user
  if(full==TRUE){
    Tickets = tm_map(Tickets, PlainTextDocument) ##convert back to a text document we can analyse
    Tickets.TDM <- TermDocumentMatrix(Tickets) ## create matrix for analysis
    TDM.frame <- data.frame(as.matrix(Tickets.TDM))
    write.csv(TDM.frame, "Full_queue_analysis.csv")
  }

  ## Remove Stopwords and irrelevant data then convert to TDM for analysis
  Tickets = tm_map(Tickets, removeWords, stopwords)
  Tickets = tm_map(Tickets, removeNumbers)
  Tickets = tm_map(Tickets, stripWhitespace)
  Tickets = tm_map(Tickets, PlainTextDocument)
  Tickets.TDM <- TermDocumentMatrix(Tickets)

  ## matrix to frame for additional calculations
  TDM.frame <- data.frame(as.matrix(Tickets.TDM))

  ##count each word once word per entry and only display those which count more than user specified amount
  Counts.df <- data.frame(rowSums(TDM.frame > 0))
  colnames(Counts.df) <- "count"
  Counts.df <- subset(Counts.df, count > count)

  ## create csv file for final counts
  write.csv(Counts.df, "Queue_analysis.csv")

  ##Print basic analysis based on user option
  cat("Terms which appear more than",count,"times:")
  findFreqTerms(Tickets.TDM, count)

Things seem to go wrong when initialising the Counts.df vector, I can run this perfectly through the console and it populates with the correct data however when run in the funciton it is completely empty, though it does exist.
There's no errors and the function ends as expected but when opening the csv file, it's empty with just the "count" header.
Thanks for any advice!
Edit - added function itself, sorry!

A: What do you think that count > count is doing? How can something be larger than itself? Given the function code shown, 100 > 100 would be what is used in the subset argument in the subset() call. This evaluates to FALSE (for obvious reasons)
> 100 > 100
[1] FALSE

hence you are dropping all rows.
E.g.:
> subset(mtcars, 100 > 100)
 [1] mpg  cyl  disp hp   drat wt   qsec vs   am   gear carb
<0 rows> (or 0-length row.names)

You have a logic error in your code but I can't make out what you intended so you'll need to solve that yourself. What vector of counts were you want to retain elements from if they were greater than count (which you set by default to be 100 in the function definition)? Did you mean
Count.df <- subset(Counts.df, Count.df[,1] > count)

Ahh, penny drops. This is just a problem relating to evaluation of the count in subset(). Here is a simple example of what is wrong:
> foo <- function(foo, cyl = 3) {
+ subset(mtcars, cyl > cyl)
+ }
> foo()
 [1] mpg  cyl  disp hp   drat wt   qsec vs   am   gear carb
<0 rows> (or 0-length row.names)

Now cyl in the subset call gets evaluated as the value of cyl defined in the function definition, cyl = 3, not the vector cyl in the mtcars data frame. Hence you get the result of subset(mtcars, FALSE).
So how about you call the column in Count.df Count instead of count, and then have that line of code be:
Count.df <- subset(Counts.df, Count > count)

Which should work.

Jewish life at Brandeis is vibrant and diverse, supporting students interested in prayer, Jewish study, cultural and social events, Israel, and more. Hillel is the umbrella for much of Jewish life on campus with a dedicated staff, an active student board, and many engaged club group leaders and members. One of the easiest ways to get involved with Hillel or any of its sub-communities is by attending a weekly Shabbat dinner, which occurs every Friday night of the school year in Upper Sherman.
A diverse array of Jewish denominations are represented on campus, and these groups come together for prayer and holiday celebrations, as well as for social events and with the broader community. There are also Jewish students at Brandeis who do not worship or practice within these groups and instead choose to observe their Judaism in a unique, individual manner. Hillel activities are open to all students. The following list includes the practicing Jewish denominational groups and their weekly worship information:
Brandeis Orthodox Organization (BOO)
BOO serves the Orthodox Jewish community at Brandeis. BOO meets for daily and weekly prayer services which take place with a mechitza, or partition/dividing wall between men and women's prayer sections. BOO also hosts a wide array of social and educational events throughout the year.
BOO Shabbat services are held in the International Lounge, and daily prayer services in Berlin Chapel.
Masorti
Masorti is the Conservative Jewish organization on the Brandeis campus. Masorti services are traditional-egalitarian, with people of all genders fully participating in ritual and prayer leadership, while following a traditional liturgy. Masorti meets for weekly Shabbat services, including alternating Havdallah (Saturday night) services with BaRuCh, as well as monthly weekday morning services. Additionally, Masorti hosts a wide array of social and educational events throughout the school year.
Masorti Shabbat services are held in the Berlin Chapel.
Brandeis Reform Chavurah (BaRuCh)
BaRuCh serves the reform Jewish community on the Brandeis campus. BaRuCh services are egalitarian and based on a Reform service, with all genders fully participating in ritual and prayer leadership, using a Reform liturgy in Hebrew and English, and often incorporating musical accompaniment. BaRuCh meets for weekly Shabbat services, including alternating Havdallah (Saturday night) services with Masorti. BaRuCh holds a number of social and educational events throughout the school year.
BaRuCh Shabbat services are held in Pearlman Lounge.
Brandeis Reconstructionist Organization (BRO)
BRO is the community for Reconstructionist Jews at Brandeis. BRO welcomes students were raised in Reconstructionist communities, and those who are interested in learning more about the movement. Based in the United States, the Reconstructionist movement focuses on Judaism not just as a religion but as a culture and practice of Tikkun olam, community service. BRO services are highly musical, often using multiple instruments and styles of music, and include Hebrew and English text.
BRO holds Shabbat services on Friday nights, once every two weeks in Upper Sherman and sometimes outside, weather permitting.
Shira Chadasha
Shira Chadasha is "an Orthodox community/minyan that maximizes women involvement under halachic parameters," which means that services take place with a mechitza, women take on certain prayer and ritual leadership roles, and there is a requirement of at least ten men AND ten women for services, which follow a traditional liturgy.
Shira Chadasha holds Shabbat services on a monthly basis in the Mandel Atrium, as well as weekday services on occasion throughout the school year.
In addition to weekly services, Hillel hosts services for the High Holy Days, including Conservative, Orthodox, and Reform services, as well as meals and additional opportunities for Jewish learning during this time of year. Services are led collaboratively by rabbis and students, and are attended by students, faculty, staff, and local community members. For some, High Holiday services and meals are their main connection to Jewish ritual practice; all levels of observance are welcome.

No one can tell you what to name your cleaning business. It's a very personal choice. Unleash your inner creativity and examine potential names from all angles. You'll be using the name for as long as you own the company, so take steps to make sure it's a name you'll still like -- and that serves you well -- years from now.
Some names are memorable because they instantly convey what the company does. The trick is to do that without being so straightforward that it's boring. So while "Clean It" is descriptive, it doesn't make anyone want to pick up the phone. Think of descriptive words that give images of sparkling clean, shining surfaces. For example: sparkle, shine, glow, twinkle, bright, gleam. "Sparkle and Shine" comes to mind and conveys just what you'd want your cleaning service to do. Many others thought so too, however, and the name has been overused. Think of variations on the theme instead: "Gleam and Glow," "Twinkle Shine" or "Shiny Bright," or familiar phrases like "Clean Sweep."
Another naming strategy is to tie it to something that has meaning to you. Try rhyming your name or using alliteration, where each word starts with the same letter. Someone with the last name Deans might name their company "Deans Cleans," while Sharon could call her company "Sharon Shines." Maybe you want to pay tribute to Grandma Alice, who always encouraged your dreams. "Alice's Palaces" does that, and gives you the chance to tell customers you can make their home gleam like a palace. Your company name doesn't have to say "we're a cleaning company," as long as you can easily make the connection.
Sometimes a name can be too hard to understand, to say or to spell. Think of how the name will sound over the phone, and how people will spell it if they're looking for your website. The owners of "Kathy's Kleaning" will always have to specify that their name has two Ks. If your grandma's name is Anastasia, you wouldn't want to have to spell that every time. Avoid symbols, too, such as hyphens and backslashes. If your name contains "and" you'll have to specify whether it's spelled out or uses an ampersand. You'll have the name for years and always having to explain it quickly becomes tedious.
Consider each name on your final list for any negative connotations it might have. Ask others their opinions; they may have a totally different impression. "Spotless Scott's" is clever, for example, but just using the word "spot" is a bit negative. Even though you take away dirt, use "clean" instead of "dirty." Check out the name, word or phrase on the Internet and see what's revealed. If anything negative could be associated with the name, throw it out. The goal is to have a name that leaves people with a positive impression; a feeling that they want to do business with you.


"Shave off that nasty beard, weirdo!"
The Old Spice commercials featuring multi-talented NFL player-turned-actor Terry Crews are some of the strangest, most intense ads on television. Last year he commanded us to "Get Shaved in the Face!" and his latest for the men's care brand is just as threatening and even more shave-centric. In it, Crews is living in a Madea-like nightmare in which everyone he sees is also himself (including his wife), and his only way out is to shave himself into oblivion. Watch below.

Q: CSS: how to get scrollbars responsive for div inside container when user resizes it upwards I am trying make scrollbars responsive (my height) for my div inside the container when the user resizes it upwards, if you see right now when it happen the scroll disappear and the arrows too.
Can I make these two scrolls get responsive and not disappear when I resize it upwards?
I mean always be seen by the user, to navigate the text using the arrows?

The images above show where arrows disappear when the user resizes the browser upwards, so I want for my green div be responsive and the arrows always be displayed.
Edit: the width is fine I am trying fix the height to be responsive when the user resize it from the bottom to up understand?
css:
html,
body {
  background-color: palette(dark-white);
  font: $font-weight--normal $font-size-root/#{$line-height-base} $font-family--primary;
  // height: 100%;
  width: 100%;
  border:1px solid red;
  overflow-y: hidden;
}

.sidebar-left-test {
    height:500px;
    width:30%;
    border:1px solid green;
    overflow-y:scroll;
}

.content{
    height: 500px;
    width:70%;
    border:1px solid black;
    overflow-y:scroll;
}

jsfiddle: https://jsfiddle.net/q7kjm9pn/

A: To make the scrollbars always visible you can us this code:
/*Scroll bar nav*/
::-webkit-scrollbar {
    width: 12px !important;
}

/* Track */
::-webkit-scrollbar-track {
    background: #dddddd;
}

However, the thumb will always disappear if there is enough space for no scrolling required.

A: I guess this would work. You can style the thumb also.
::-webkit-scrollbar {
    width: 12px !important;
}
::-webkit-scrollbar-track {
    background: #dddddd;
}
::-webkit-scrollbar-thumb {
    border-radius: 4px;
    background-color: rgba(0,0,0,.5);
    -webkit-box-shadow: 0 0 1px rgba(255,255,255,.5);
}

A: As per my comments, here is my answer in bootply.  I have added comments to the snippet below so you can see what the styles are doing

/* CSS used here will be applied after bootstrap.css */

html,
body {
  background-color: palette(dark-white);
  height:100%;

Managing water and agroecosystems for food security.
This book is the 10th volume in the Comprehensive Assessment of Water Management in Agriculture Series. The book is structured to systematically show the relationships between ecosystems, water and food security, and to elaborate an ecosystem approach to sustainable agriculture. It contains chapters on the drivers of food security (Chapter 2) and provides analyses on ecosystems, agroecosystems, ecosystem services and their valuation (Chapters 3 and 4). Next, there is an analysis of the role of water in agriculture as well as analyses of water use and scarcity (Chapter 5). This is followed by discussions of the specific challenges in drylands (Chapter 6) and wetlands (Chapter 7); each of these chapters provides more insight into the reasons why an integrated ecosystem approach is required and what this should entail, giving practical recommendations for those vulnerable ecosystems. A discussion of the contributions that can be made by increased water productivity to a better joint management of agroecosystems and water follows in the next chapter (Chapter 8). Subsequently, Chapter 9 presents various approaches to the enhancement of ecosystem services in agriculture, with many concrete examples, while Chapter 10 provides more detail of the ecosystem approach to water management. Finally, the last chapter (Chapter 11) ends the book with a synthesis that embeds the key recommendations into a landscape approach, links this to ongoing initiatives and identifies knowledge gaps for further research.

A year ago South London Cares, a new community network in Southwark and Lambeth, opened quietly with a small "Stockwell Startup" gathering at a day centre near the tube.
That little tea party, on that Friday afternoon last August, was a chance for young professionals and older neighbours – people who wouldn't normally interact in this unrelenting capital of ours – to spend a little time and get to know one another. The hope was that locals would be inspired by the lives, stories and personalities, and the richness of the people and places, around them.
Frankly, it was a bit of a risk. Although I'd had the experience over three years of establishing North London Cares, our sister charity above the river which had at that time signed up 800 young professionals to hang out with 1,000 older neighbours, we had no certainty that the model could translate.
Southwark and Lambeth are unique places with unique histories. They're different from the boroughs to the north, east and west. They're full of local colour, dynamism, life. But they're also full of isolation, loneliness and anonymity.
That's why we wanted to set up South London Cares. Our instinct was that, just like people, while each life is individual and each perspective subjective, the human experience is universal, and sharable. Our goal was to bring people together across deepening, seemingly insurmountable social lines to combat loneliness, expand horizons, and help people stay valued, vibrant and visible.
That first tea party, with Sam and Jenny, William, Benita and just a handful of others, gave us an injection of confidence that, with a twist of south London zest and the support of local businesses and charities, we could create a network of younger and older neighbours hanging out and helping one another for the benefit of all.
And over the past year, that's exactly what our amazing volunteers have created.
Albert and Anya have shared tips on social media, and built a friendship across the ages. Lupita and Charlotte have helped each other with their Spanish. Beryl has shown Georgina how to live in the moment. Lorna has found a better work/life balance.
Nearly 200 young professionals have already been actively involved, sharing BBQs, trips to city corporates, Franco Manca pizza-making skills, advice on how to stay warm and so much more with some 400 older neighbours – through 160 social clubs from Brixton to Bermondsey, Waterloo to Walworth and our one-to-one Love Your Neighbour project.
As we celebrate South London Cares' first birthday, we're so encouraged that so many young people have been part of 6,000 interactions, 700 shared meals, and mad, mad challenges including week-long triathlons to raise money for the charity.
South London Cares 1st Birthday Pub Quiz is happening on Wednesday 19th August at the Dogstar, 389 Coldharbour Lane, SW9 Tickets, teams and more info.

May 4, 2020 May 4, 2020 Manisha 0 Comments Blockbuster movies, Bollywood, Bollywood movies, hit movies, love movies, Raj Kapoor, Rishi Kapoor, Sridevi, superhit movies, thriller movies Rishi Kapoor
Rishi Kapoor is one of the most talented and loved Bollywood actors of his time. You can't imagine Indian commercial movies without his contribution of work. Rishi Kapoor is the third son of Raj Kapoor and played various roles in different Bollywood movies. He started his Bollywood career playing a child artist in his father's movie 'Mera Naam Joker'.But, he first appeared as lead actor in the movie 'Bobby' opposite Dimple Kapadia. If you are also a Rishi Kapoor fan and looking for some of his best movies to watch during this quarantine then here we are sharing some of his best movies not to miss.
Bobby: Bobby was the first movie in which Rishi Kapoor was launched as a lead actor. In this movie he played the role of Raj, the son of a strict, rich parent, who fell in love with Bobby. She is the daughter of a poor Christian fisherman-a relationship which his parents were against. The story was very well narrated and directed. The movie was a big hit of its time and its song 'Hum Tum Ek Kamre Main Band Ho' was all time favorite of lovers and became one of the iconic songs of the movie.
Karz: If you are looking for a thriller movie to watch then this movie will be a perfect choice. This reincarnation based movie was one of the biggest hits of that year and won many awards. It is one of the successful movies of Director Subhash Ghai. In this blockbuster movie Rishi Kapoor played the role of a rock star named Monty. He was reborn and took revenge from Simi Garewal who played the role of his wife named Kaamini Verma. Besied, these two superstars, Tina Munim also played the lead role opposite Rishi Kapoor.
Sagar: It is one of the best triangular love movies ever made in Bollywood. The movie starred Rishi Kapoor, Kamal Haasan and Dimple Kapadia in lead roles. The movie was well directed and the music of the movie was fabulous. It has the best music scores done by R D Burman, the songs were contributed a lot in the movie to give it a perfect feel. A blockbuster movie which established Rishi Kapoor as the boy next door. It also set the trends of triangle love stories in Bollywood.
Prem Rog: Prem Rog was totally a different movie in the kitty of Rishi Kapoor movies. It is not of typical love or family drama but a story which had uniqueness and unconventional plot. In this movie he played the role of a progressive man who was ahead of its time and tried to bring change in the society at large. The movie was also special for him because it was directed by his father Raj Kapoor. The movie touched many feelings such as love, culture, socialism, abuse, circumstances of a widow and much more. Rishi Kapoor and Padmini Kohlapuri gave power packed performances and made it a great hit.
Chandani: Chandani was directed by the late Yash Chopra. It was one of the biggest blockbusters of its time. People still love this movie and work done by Rishi Kapoor and Sridevi in this movie. No one can forget the chemistry between the sweet and bubbly Chandani (Sridevi) and Rohit (Rishi Kapoor). The song 'mere hatho main no no chudiya hai' was one of the biggest hits of its time. The movie was a love drama where Chandani shattered as her love Rohit leaves her and disappeared from her life. Then the movie took a new turn with the entry of Lalit (Vinod Khanna) in the movie as her new boyfriend. The movie takes a new turn when Rishi Kapoor knocks on her door once again. This is one of the best love drama movies to watch anytime.

Our dedicated team is always busy in writing something different, interesting and spicy for our readers. Whether you are soon-to-be-mother, or a college student, or a geek there is something to read, share and talk about for everyone. We always love to share and tell what's latest, what's trending and what's new, which is surely interesting and appealing for you.


Summer has officially commenced here in Australia, which means the thermometer will only continue to rise, and your efforts to stay cool this holiday season will become increasingly more difficult.
If you're anything like me, you step out the door and instantly become drenched in sweat. It literally doesn't matter how little physical effort you exert, you walk 50 metres away from the hostel with more liquid dripping off you than the Niagara Falls.
But have no fear! We've compiled a list of incredible activities for you to undertake in Sydney this Summer that will keep you cool, calm and collected.
The ultimate sea party in Sydney this summer, The Island is a literal floating bar in the middle of the harbour – what more could you want? Boasting a high sense of exclusivity, The Island is open on Saturdays and Sundays from 1PM to midnight and is only accessible by water taxis that travel in between from Double Bay Wharf Bay Street and the floating bar. With a sea pool attached to bar, feel free to dive straight into the harbour.
The McIvers women's baths in Coogee is a secret spot amongst the busy hustle and bustle for all the women who don't want to get gawked at. The pool – which is open to women and children only – is the last remaining women's only seawater pool in Australia. Located on a cliff face between Coogee and Wylie's Baths, this beautiful pool will provide female travellers with the perfect escape for privacy.
Camperdown Park or "Campo Park", as affectionately referred to by the locals, is the ideal spot in Sydney's inner west to sprawl out under the shade and sip a chilled beverage. If the weather's out in full force, the park will be packed with young 20-somethings drinking under the trees. It's a great way to sit back, relax and socialise. The cops even turn a blind eye to the public drinking until about 9PM, which is rare in Sydney.
After a hard day's work by the pool, head up to the trendy, air-conditioned theatre in Randwick. Self-described as an "independent art-deco cinema", Ritz Cinema is entrenched in history, having been built in 1937 and heritage listed in 1999. It's an ideal way to run away from the sweltering heat - after all, who doesn't love a boozy arthouse flick?
Who doesn't love a bit of contemporary art? The type that makes you contemplate the existence of life and your very position within it. Still not biting? It's air-conditioned AF. There's a constant variety of limited-time exhibitions and showcases on offer at MCA, but you'll need to check out the museum's website depending on when you plan to take the trip. Get cultured, team.
This base is one of the most celebrated breweries in Sydney. Young Henrys was only born in 2012 but has since become a staple in most bars throughout the Sydney's inner west.

Churchill Forge, Churchill Lane, Churchill, Churchill and Blakedown - Wyre Forest
Early C19 hand forge building that made spades and shovels, comprising three brick buildings, two water wheels, a dam and large mill pond. The forge is still in working order and is managed by the Churchill Forge Trust. The designation for the site was reviewed 2016 and the buildings are now listed buildings only. The whole of the site is a scheduled monument. Funding has enabled the Trust to develop a business plan for the site, take on ownership, and prepare a proposal for funding by the National Lottery Heritage Fund.

It was another tremendously rewarding trip praying from Pierre, South Dakota to Bismarck, North Dakota. For example, about an hour traveling north from Pierre toward North Dakota across the horizon, it began to get dark and storm clouds began to form directly in front of us. Kathy and I had been challenging principalities, powers, rulers of the darkness, and spiritual wickedness, and continued as the Spirit of God directed as lightning struck all across in front of us. Of course, it also started to rain, but this was more than just rain. This was a storm!! My thought was, "Yes, devil, I know who you are, and we're coming to North Dakota by the Spirit of God!" As we progressed binding principalities, witchcraft, sorcery, divination, etc. (as God directed), a storm cloud would vanish and another would form, one would vanish, another would form, and so on, and we continued to make progress toward North Dakota! Finally, at one point Kathy said, "This seems strange, but in my spirit, it's as though it's coming from Canada!". We began to pray with that direction as well as the other things, and the storm clouds began to break apart, vanish, and steady easy rain continued until about 25 miles before Bismarck. While we were in Bismarck, it remained dry until we began to return to Pierre, and then it easily rained for the next 2 hours. The temperature in North Dakota was in the low 50's, somewhat different from the 100's of the last week in Texas. I asked someone when I stopped for gas in Strasbourg, North Dakota if they needed rain, and the person replied, "Most definitely! This is welcome relief!" I trust that you can see the difference in the rain that we initially encountered in the storm and the rain that was received after we overcame! What a blessing to serve the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob! About 40 miles from arriving back in Pierre, I touched base with the pilot, who was awaiting our arrival, and he said everything was fine. However, after I hung up, the same darkness we had encountered heading north began to form heading south toward Pierre. Again we continued to challenge the principalities as the Spirit of God directed and literally saw those dark clouds breakup and the darkness move backwards. It is a tremendous experience to see the power of God move the powers of darkness out of us, off of us, and away from us as we continue to believe the Gospel!

Peter Pan and his ragtag bunch of lost boys from Neverland are the quintessential kids that never grew up. After seeing the Peter Pan-inspired collection from designer kids' label Heavenly Creatures for this coming spring and summer, I'm wishing I could join them! But since my own childhood is well and truly over, I'm just going to have to live vicariously through my kids.
Thank goodness then that I've got three of them because I love everything about designers' Heidi Weber and Kelly Duckworth's new range – from the sassy pirate stripe peasant tops for girls and pirate grandpa tees for boys to the little retro shirred numbers with their dots, spots and florals. Oh, and everything else in between.
Heidi and Kelly incorporate vintage fabrics in each season's collection and I'm guessing they appear this time round in the rather stunning Kelly bib front dress (below left) – a fantastical mish-mash of ginghams, spots, florals and checks that come together in the most delightful way to make a frock that I'm confidentially predicting will be the sundress of the season.
Then there's the Tinker cream ruffle skirt (above right). Heavenly Creatures have a well-deserved reputation for creating a completely divine girly-girl tutu skirt each season and this one is a knock-out. I can't wait to add it to my daughter's spring wardrobe.
The Wendy smock dress, in pale pink with ruffles (above right) or lavender with ric rac trim, is prettiness personified amongst all those other bright colours and bold stripes. Mr and Mrs Darling would certainly approve!
I'm glad to reveal the label's signature grandpa tees for boys are also back in a new pirate-like reincarnation, along with their delightful ruffle-hemmed leggings for girls. Stripe tank tops, checked and plain shorts and a sublime hooded shirt complete the picture for boys, along with a delectable octopus-print raglan tee with three-quarter length sleeves.
The thing I love most about Heavenly Creatures – apart from the fact that the clothes are made right here in Australia – is that for all the dreaminess of their designs, these are clothes made for play. Pretty, yes. But pretty hard-wearing too. So your little pirates, your fairies and your Indians can run completely amok this summer while maintaining perfect style!
Heavenly Creatures spring/summer 2010 range will be arriving in stores later this month. Check here for a list of stockists and here to see us rave about their previous collections.

I was watching a recent episode of Oprah (imagine that) where she was interviewing celebrities in her normal fascinating fashion. She asked each of them an intriguing question that resonated strongly with me.
Hmmm. Interesting. So I thought about that for a while. If I could go back to the 20-year-old Julie having all the knowledge and wisdom and life experiences then that I do now, and tell her anything, what would it be?
After some soul searching I realized exactly what I would have told myself. And with Valentine's Day coming up in a few days it seems even more appropriate to share with you today.
See, I was in my mid-thirties before I ever really understood that truth. God is the only one that will ever love us perfectly. And His love is whole, it's pure, it's complete. He loves us unconditionally and He sees us as He created us to be, not with all the imperfections and hang ups we've created for ourselves.
When my first child was born I looked at him and loved him in a similar way. (Well, as much as I could as a human.) But I loved him because I saw myself in him. I saw my husband in him. And my love was complete and totally unconditional. He hadn't done anything to earn that love. And that's the same way it is with God. When He looks at us…He sees himself in us. And that's a beautiful thing!
Do I wish I had learned that lesson a little earlier? Sometimes I do. But then again, the journey God has each of us on is customized with lessons that occur at precisely the right time to make us who we are supposed to be. I am grateful for the journey. And I am grateful for the unending love of God in my life. So since we are close to Valentine's Day, I want to urge you to wrap yourself in the reality of the perfect love God has for you.
And just for fun, ask yourself: If you could go back to the 20-year-old version of YOU…what would you say? Reflect on the lessons learned and thank God for them.

Philly's great-grandmother of African dance, Ione Nash, has died

Ione Nash, 97, a performer and instructor who helped launch an African dance movement in Philadelphia and continued dancing well into her 90s, has died.
Family members say Nash died in her sleep early Friday morning, July 23. She had been taking care of herself in the same Germantown home she had lived in for 75 years, until 2019 when she moved in with her grandson in Norristown after her left leg was amputated due to an infection.
Alongside figures like Arthur Hall and Kulu Mele, Nash forged an African dance tradition in Philadelphia with her longtime collaborator, drummer Kenneth "Skip" Burton. The Ione Nash Dance Ensemble has been a staple of the annual Odunde Festival on South Street, and in her 90s, Nash was still teaching dance and martial arts in the city's recreation centers.
Although small in stature — she was less than five feet tall — she commanded any stage with her technique and boundless energy.
"To be such a small, petite woman, she was very fierce and she demanded that you do the steps right," said Wendy Burton, a former student of Nash who became a member of her dance company in the 1990s. "By her example, you were able to do a little bit of what she could do. Just a little bit. She was just an amazing teacher. I think that she was just born to do this."
50 Black dance companies land in Philly for international festival started by Philadanco
The IABD returns to the city where it started for the 50th anniversary of Philadanco.
Born Ione Shirley Osborne in 1923 in Philadelphia, she did not walk until she was five years old due to problems with her legs, according to her grandson Martin Dickerson.
Nash did not start dancing until she was 28, already married to Archie Nash and raising a young daughter. In the summer of 1950, she was walking through an art fair in Rittenhouse Square with her five-year-old daughter, where she saw a painting of a ballerina lacing up her shoe.
"I said to my daughter, 'That's what I'd like to do,'" said Nash in a 2012 video interview. "We kept walking around. Later a gentleman came up to me and said, 'I heard what you said about wanting to dance, I know someone who teaches dancing in West Philly.' He gave me her card."
Nash was referred to Olive Bowser and her school in West Philadelphia where she learned ballet, jazz, and tap. She later moved on to Marion Cuyjet's Judimar School of Dance, which then led her to Saka Acquaye, a native Ghanian artist and musician then studying at the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts. He started the city's first African dance ensemble, a short-lived company of which Nash was a member, as was Arthur Hall, who went on to found the influential Arthur Hall Afro-American Dance Ensemble.
Dance, fitness instructors help students adapt their homes to keep moving in quarantine
Dance, sports and fitness instructors are helping their students stay fit in quarantine with Zoom, dining room chairs and prizes to keep them motivated.
Within 10 years of that Rittenhouse Square art fair, Nash found herself at the center of Philly's African dance movement. Her own company, the Ione Nash Dance Ensemble, was based out of her school at 5811 Germantown Avenue.
Nash was known as a demanding teacher, something she learned from her own teachers.
"One time Marion Cuyjet told me that I would never be a dancer. My technique was perfect, but I didn't have no feeling. She said, 'You're cold,'" Nash recalled in a 2014 interview. "It hurt me, but down the line it gave me a better understanding of what I'm trying to teach students: they've got to do more than steps."
Dickerson, her grandson, said she remained very serious about dancing until a severe leg infection nearly killed her in April, 2019, necessitating an amputation.
"She was definitely intense. She stayed intense, especially when it came to dancing," he said. "Once the drum started, it was a different woman. She didn't mess around with that."
Although known widely for African dance, Nash enjoyed and was accomplished in other kinds of dance, including ballroom partner dancing. She began studying karate after being mugged in her late 60s, ultimately becoming a black belt and instructor.
Nash's husband died in 1984, and her daughter died in 2001. She is survived by three grandchildren, eight great-grandchildren, and nine great-great-grandchildren. A celebration of her life — with dancers, martial arts, and drummers — is tentatively scheduled for the first week of August.

About Peter Crimmins
@PeterCrimmins pcrimmins@whyy.org


I really wasn't expecting this to happen – a Die Hard 64 game for the Nintendo 64 that has never seen the public eye? That's really out there. Most games that involve a popular license and have gone this far usually see a release one way or the other. The game by Fox Interactive was stuck in development purgatory for a long enough time to never see the light of day so it has been kept in obscurity up until now.
This isn't a port of the 1996/7 game for the PS1 and Sega Saturn; that was a 3rd person shooter. This one for the Nintendo 64 is a 1stperson game and completely original. On the onset, you can see how incomplete the game looks. There's barely enemies, the graphics are rather basic and the level is mostly empty. However, they seem to have nailed the engine in terms of responding to user input and just the game in general. It just needs some polish.
I for one would like to hear a bit more of the story behind this. Why was the game never completed? Even games like Superman 64 that were in development hell finally got a full cartridge release. The only other game that FA released for the N64 was Fox Sports College Hoops '99, so this is their first game outside of that genre. The person who released the video on Assembler Games was an employee of the company at the time and released the 9 levels across three separate ROMs. I can't find the thread but it would be great to be able to find out more about this incomplete game.
Die Hard 64 - a game by Fox Interactive that has never seen the public eye before has been shown to exist and is generating plenty of interest.

We have commissioned all the items specifically for this Order and only Official KTI regalia can be used by members at events and ceremonies. The cost of a full Knights Templar regalia package used to be so expensive, several thousand, as to inhibit most people from taking the step up to Templar Knight, so we combined the whole thing to help you out.
All Candidates for the Knighthood MUST be life members, this is set at a level to assist our members at £595 or $890 but this INCLUDES the WHOLE regalia package: – Official Cape, fully lined with hood + Templar Jewel with collarette + Templar Breast Star medal,+ Exclusive Holy Cross 'Militia Templi' pendant with chain + The famous black Beret with Skull badge 'Soldier of God Metal cap badge and Unique LIFE MEMBERSHIP parchment scroll of Authenticity from the Roslyn Priory !
NOTE: Bought individually, these items would cost MORE than the life membership fee itself but we are not about money, we want GOOD MEN and Women who will stand their ground to defend our children's future!
Please note that all Sir Knights can ONLY be presented with the sword by the Grand Commander at the Holy Altar after at least three years' service as a Sworn-in Sir Knight.
This is a one off payment and means you are FREE from further dues for LIFE Even after you are accepted and take the Solemn oath at our Sacred Church initiation service! !
All lifetime affiliates have the exclusive right to apply at any time to be fully knighted at a sacred oath ceremony, these are held regularly by the Order in many countries around the world.
Finally, we would once again ask you to think well upon this decision, Do you feel your life has led you to this point?, Have you a desire to fulfill your destiny and start your life afresh as a Godly and chivalric Knight of the Templar Order, (The Poor Fellow-Soldiers of Christ and of the Temple of Solomon) .
Only a few people are touched by the divine and installed with a burning passion to defend faith, family and nation and led towards Joining the Order. If you are being called…do it and be all you are meant to be in this short and fleeting life. We look forward to welcoming you into the Knighthood. We pray that God will guide you.

The headlines blazed - "Russia invades Georgia" (Washington Post, August 12, 2008) or words to that effect suggesting that Russia was flexing its military might and reclaiming its place as a world super-power. The sub-text in the US media was that we were on the brink of a new Cold War.
Was this fair and accurate reporting?
No. It failed to convey the complex geo-political make-up of this part of the world. Georgia has been a buffer zone between Asian and European interests for centuries and variously invaded and occupied by each. In the late 18th century, Georgia signed the Treaty of Georgievsk and fell under Russian protection, cemented when Russian troops defeated the Persian army near Zagam in 1805. Over the succeeding decades, Georgia managed to do a bit of colonial expansion with a bit of help from Russia, assimilating parts of what are now known as Turkey and Iran as large parts of its territory, meaning that the country was a melting pot of different cultures and religions.
After the Russian Revolution of 1917, Georgia took advantage of the shift in power to declare its independence from Russia. This show of defiance was short-lived, with the Red Army invading four years later and then formally falling under Soviet rule in 1924, with the violent suppression of Georgian separatists in the August Uprising. Despite one of their own in Josef Stalin rising to the highest ranks of Soviet power, the Georgia-Soviet relationship was an uneasy one. Dissident groups commenced moves for Georgian independence from the 1960s and were brutally suppressed.
Georgia held the first multi-party polls in the USSR in 1990 and declared independence shortly before the fall of the Iron Curtain the following year. Instead of that act kick-starting a period of peace for the fledgling country, all it did was commence an internal power struggle characterised by a coup and inter-ethnic violence and bloody disputes, culminating in the quasi-independence of Abkhazia and South Ossetia from Georgia, with more than a little help from neighbouring Russia. These two states were recognised as independent nations by both Russia and Nicaragua, but not by the rest of the world. It should also be noted that South Ossetia is ethnically similar to neighbouring North Ossetia, which is part of Russia, and hoped to eventually be part of a single Ossetian territory. Both South Ossetia and Abkhazia consider themselves to have more in common with Russia than Georgia and, given their choice of masters, leaned very much towards Russia.
The recent conflict was sparked by the Georgian military's attempt to bring these breakaway regions into line. On 7th August this year, Georgian troops invaded South Ossetia, an area protected by Russian peace-keeping troops and regarded by Russia as a sovereign territory. Russia doesn't take too kindly to military action and reacted as would be expected, swiftly and with overwhelming force. The South Ossetians with some justification felt that this was a threat to their perceived sovereignty and requested military assistance from Russia. Less than a week later, with Russian air-strikes wreaking significant damage to Georgian infrastructure and military capacity, not to mention the uncertain but sizable casualties on both sides, Russian President Medvedev ordered a halt to hostilities.
At the end of the day, the situation regarding South Ossetia and Ankhazia was largely returned to what it was pre-conflict. The only difference seems to be that Georgia's economic progress in Europe was given a severe set-back and Georgian peace-keeping troops were evicted from both regions. Russia has re-stated its view of the two regions as independent states and its troops are there at the invitation of both. An added bonus for Russia is that this serves as a warning to other former satellite states with any similar ideas, potentially the pro-western Ukraine and Azerbaijan.
The media portrayal of the Russian action as an unprovoked attack on sovereign Georgia is in my view a sensationalist view ignoring the history of the region. While the Russian response was arguably excessive, Georgia was far from the innocent party portrayed by the media. President Saakashvili tried a bit of political sleight of hand, gambling on his country's pro-American stance to minimise repercussions. If Saakashvili had looked back to 1921-24, the lesson was there to be learned - anyone who treats Russia with contempt does so at their own peril.

Millions of people protesting around the globe did not stop the invasion of Iraq by US and UK forces on the 20th of March 2003. The reason for this invasion was the Weapons of Mass Destructions (WMDs) that Sadam Hussein was allegedly hoarding in Iraq. While these were never found, Sadam's reign of terror was finally brought to an end. The errors of judgement made by Tony Blair and President George Bush in invading Iraq will meanwhile remain topics of debates and discussions in history books for times to come. The world peace that was to be the result of the invasion is still very illusory but one thing that is very real and a direct result of the invasion is the effect it has had on the Iraqi people themselves.
The invasion has not only taken lives of American soldiers who found themselves in Iraq fighting a "war on terror" but thousands of Iraqi citizens who are still dying to this day. In the safety of Western countries where violence and unrest seem alien we have become immune to daily news bulletins of Iraqis dying in street violence or in suicide bombs. We do not realise the true extent of how many Iraqis have been affected since the invasion started. The invasion provided the Sunnis and Shiites sects with adequate fuel to ignite the flame of sectarian violence which killed many and destroyed historic parts and monuments in the country.
According to statistics provided by UNCHR (United Nations Commissioner of Refugees) and Amnesty International, 2.7 million Iraqis have been displaced within Iraq since the invasion. There has been no Iraqi governmental assistance given to compensate or resettle these people in any way. In addition nearly 2 million more Iraqis have been displaced into neighbouring countries like Syria, Jordan and Lebanon with Syria taking the brunt of this influx. Subsequently, there is enormous pressure on housing, food and schools of these host countries where these resources are already in short supply and feelings of resentment are rising. The refugees, some of them skilled, trained professionals have no decent employment and others have resorted to child labour and prostitution to cope. The situation is deteriorating every day unless something is done to help these people get back into some normality of life.
It is imperative for the Iraqi government to assist its displaced population and to make the Western powers aware of the extent of the problem. The displaced Iraqis want to resettle in Western countries because of threats andlack of security they face in their own country. In June 2007 the "Refugee Crisis in Iraq Act" brought home the fact of the small number of refugees that have been allowed to settle in the US since 2006.
Since then according to reports by Amnesty International only 1% of the Iraqi refugees have been allowed to settle in Western countries in 2007. A statement was made by US Senators Edward Kennedy and Gordon Smith in that year about helping in the resettlement of Iraqi refugees especially those whose lives were in danger in Iraq. Funds to the value of $18million and aid would be given to assist the UNCHR in its efforts in controlling the situation. It is a matter of waiting to see if this promise is kept to the Iraqi refugees or if it will be forgotten especially now with the US facing its biggest economic crisis in decades.
Aid agencies are finding it harder to give continued support to sustain the basic needs of this refugee problem. According to UNHCR, lack of sufficient funding means that it will be impossible for it to continue providing basic facilities to the refugees this year. Until adequate resources and funds are made available even urgent medical supplies will not be available to those who need them.
When we look back at the colonial history of Western powers like Britain steps were always taken to ensure the well being of the citizens of the colonised countries they invaded and ruled. The US too has a responsibility to do the same in the name of humanitarianism.
The refugee problem will not just vanish away itself but has to be a priority for the US. It is because of US actions that the Iraqi people are suffering and do not have a place to call their own. The problem will get worse if it is ignored and we will all have a hand to play in driving the final nail in Iraq's coffin.

Winning essay by Sarah Harrison
People in Sri Lanka are scared. A man I interviewed for this article did not want to be quoted, named or referred to.
And they are confused. I am too reading the online Sri Lankan newspapers (and I hear they are exactly the same on the street); not one paper tells the same story, or gives the same weight to each scoop.
Many of the papers and radio stations are state owned and widely known to be full of propaganda. Local journalists are disappearing all the time. Everyone is suspicious of everyone.
The government's official news website is riddled with press releases stating the 'true' version of international reports on Sri Lanka, and demands for apologies and retractions from the world's press.
The media suppression is leaving the people of Sri Lanka misinformed, trapped and without a voice.
Media freedom is considered a human right in a democracy. Many countries in the world pride themselves on it. Its roots go as far back as 1789 when 'The Declaration of the Rights of Man' carved the first steps to ensure freedom of speech for the people. Freedom of press now plays a fundamental role in a democratic society 'sustaining and monitoring, [] as well as in contributing to greater accountability, good government, and economic development'[i].
The importance of media freedom can be seen in the wake of the Tsunami. Many small aid organisations sprang up around the country and were able, through free media, to gain help, funds and information. Many in London
were able to locate loved ones via the BBC.
But in situations of war, these same democratic countries will suppress information from the media to ensure secrecy against the enemy and protection of the people. The minority Tamils in Sri Lanka were unfairly represented in government at independence in 1948. Unrest developed into civil war in 1983 that has been going on-and-off since then, predominantly against the Liberation Tigers of
Eelam (LTTE), or Tamil Tigers, who are now claiming independence in the North and East. The LTTE are well known for terrorist attacks and 'invented' the suicide bomber. The Sri Lankan government is fighting back with similar tactics. The war is slowly destroying the country.
Even in times of peace, and with a so called free press many governments are able to warp the information the public receives. Through state owned newspapers, television channels and radio stations, governments are able to ensure that 'the picture of the world that's presented to the public has only the remotest relation to reality. The truth of the matter is buried under edifice after edifice of lies.'[ii] Thereby ensuring that the public doesn't hear of the latest sex scandal, monetary bribe, or army bombing.
In Sri Lanka the media is suppressed and propaganda is rife. Despite the international public's horror at the terrorist LTTE, they are just mirrored by the Sri Lankan government. They are not suppressing the media to protect their citizens but to cover up their own actions. Instead of using the world's free press to exercise their own right to inform and ask for help, they are killing their own journalists who are trying to do just that.
The Free Media Movement (FMM) was established in 1991 as a collective response from journalists to the proposed Media Commission to Sri Lanka. Although the Commission was not formed the government continues to unofficially suppress and control the media. As well as owning much of the media the government is accused of killing independent journalists that speak out against it. When Keith Noyahr, a senior local journalist was abducted and assaulted, the FMM said 'there is no other reason for this [] than his independent writing and analysis', adding that 'Noyahr had been critical of high-ranking military officers and the government's approach'[iii]. A small press release on The Official Government News Portal of Sri Lanka said they were investigating.
Media suppression and propaganda are making the people of the country confused and deceived. This leaves them scared and unable to act, allowing the Sri Lankan government and the LTTE to continue their prolonged war. The few lone pleas for help go unnoticed.
Freedom of press provides information, it gives the people a voice and it allows them to unite. But, as Sri Lanka demonstrates, by guarding the press, governments are provided freedom of actions, allowing them to violate countless human rights in their determination to stamp out a long-standing insurrection.

ICBU Accuses the UAE of Practicing Racism after a British Girl was Denied the Inheritance of her dead Father because she is Christian
The International Campaign to Boycott UAE (ICBU) has accused the UAE authorities of denying a 14-year-old British girl Paris Shahravech from her father's inheritance of £ 500,000 after her father's death, who is a banker.
ICBU said that the UAE authorities have persisted in their violations of human rights, where they still arrest and detain many foreign nationals in their detention camps and confiscate their passports and belongings.
The International Campaign called for the intervention of the United Nations, the European Parliament, human rights institutions and the international community to stop human rights violations committed by UAE authorities against foreign residents in the UAE and to force UAE authorities to respect human rights laws. The campaign also called on all countries that respect human rights laws and the free world to boycott the UAE because they violate human rights daily, whether in the war in Yemen or with neighboring countries or citizens or residents.
ICBU said it was launched in the light of the endless violations of human rights practiced by the UAE, as well as its war crimes in Yemen and violations of workers' rights, as well as the fact that the UAE is the center of modern slavery. The United Arab Emirates today is one of the leading countries in trafficking in human beings and is one of the main supporters of terrorist groups in Syria and other parts of the Middle East.

Not too long ago, I was reading an article on CNN Money on some of the most stressful jobs that come with low pay. When we think of some high-stress jobs, like air traffic controller, the assumption is that there is some sort of monetary compensation for dealing with the stress.
Restaurant kitchen manager: Work 60 hours a week, stressing out about food and managing workers, for less than $40,000 a year.
Emergency services dispatcher: Give advice to panic-stricken callers, while sending emergency responders to the right address. That can be pretty stressful, and these workers only make a little more than $38,000 a year.
Mental health counselor: For less than $33,000 a year, you work with people who have serious problems and stresses — and it's easy to bring that work home with you, adding stress to your life and putting strain on your relationships.
Deputy sheriff: Work odd shifts and long hours, as well as put your life on the line. You deal with difficult people, and have to worry that you are making the right split-second decision. The median pay is less than $46,000.
Veterinary technician: You sometimes work odd hours (especially if there is an emergency), and you have to deal with situations, such as putting animals to sleep. There are time demands and stress demands, and you are likely to make less than $34,000 a year.
Of course, these are median annual salaries. Some people will make more money and some make less. However, the reality is that these are jobs that come with stress — and the compensation received in exchange might not be worth it.
The real question, even win a high-stress job, is whether or not you can do the job for other reasons and still be happy, even if you aren't getting paid. Your pay is only part of the equation.
There are those who choose to work in law enforcement or in mental health fields because they want to help people and make the world a better place. Being able to work for a cause is one of the reasons that some people stick with low-paying and stressful jobs. In the end, they feel that they are making a difference, and that matters more than the money they receive for doing the job — even if the job can be stressful at times.
On the other hand, though, this state of affairs can also be somewhat disappointing. You know that you are doing good work, and you are stressed and sacrificing, but you aren't gaining recognition that the rest of the world values what you do. This can be difficult to deal with. It's a conundrum: You know that what you are doing is important, and that it's more important than money, but at the same time you also know that you aren't getting paid for it, and your worth is often judged by your paycheck.
You may not do your job entirely for the money, but it's still nice to get that validation, in a way that says society values you — or at least that society values you enough to provide you with something a little more than a subsistence wage.
Another side problem that can come with a high-stress, low-paying job is that you might face burnout. When you make a lot of money, you can convince yourself that it's worth it to keep with the job, since you make a good salary.
But what happens if there is too much stress and not enough money? If you are struggling to support your family and make ends meet, that adds stress on top of what you do — no matter how much good you think you are doing. When it becomes too much, you might start thinking about changing jobs, or finding some other way to earn extra money on the side. Even a job you feel good about can become a burden if you are too stressed, and it gets to the point that the stress outweighs the amount of money you get.
What do you think? Are there some jobs that just don't pay enough to be worth it?
For sure. Yes, you spend most of your time working, but LIFE costs money and if your job does not allow you to live the lifestyle you want, it's not really a dream job then.
I'm with NZ Muse. Especially on the restaurant manager front. Or really most jobs at the retail store management level.
Yeah. Retail/restaurant management are far more stressful than many people give credit for. Poor pay, and a lot of hassle with employees and with customers. And not a lot of power to do a whole lot.
I've been a restaurant kitchen manager before. It's high-stress and lots of work, but it can be fun with a good crew. I probably wouldn't go back to it, but it really wasn't too bad.
I think you make a good point about the good crew. Who you work with can make a job tolerable, even if it is stressful.
I would add teacher to this list. There are several teachers in my family and many of my friends are teachers and they are just not paid enough! Their service to kids and the community is not appropriately recognized or financially valued, in my opinion. I agree with you that it's more of a calling and a desire to give back that motivates employment in these fields. And I'm grateful that teachers, and others, do serve in these positions. Thank you for sharing this!
Miranda, yes, I think there are some jobs that are simply not worth the hastle. At the same time, as we say in Bulgaria, every train has its passengers. I, for instance, am academic. My latest calculation shows that junior colleagues work for below minimum wage in academia and full professors make more than the minimum wage but not that much. This of course is normalised by the hours we have to put in. Add to this having to deal with increasing bureaucracy, students that see themselves as customers that have gone to a restaurant to order their meal, and pressures to publish in particular journals and this can easily become one of the jobs that is high stress and low return; well, will return for most normal academics anyway.
I still do it and love it most of the time. So what I'm saying here is that I can imagine that people in.patience you listed probably feel very similar.

Opposition Calls for Leadership and Action from Minister of Fisheries
The Official Opposition is calling on the Ball Liberal government to step up and demonstrate leadership to help address the uncertainty which exists in the Newfoundland and Labrador fishery. Paul Davis, Leader of the Official Opposition has written the Federal Minister of Fisheries, Dominic Leblanc and the Provincial Minister of Fisheries, Steve Crocker to express concern about the unrest and to encourage immediate action from both Ministers.
"We believe that Newfoundlanders and Labradorians are united in the belief that action is needed immediately to help address challenges and the future of the fishery. This includes a management plan, improved research, an open and honest understanding of the science, respect for the experience and knowledge of harvesters, and improved communications and partnership with all stakeholders, " said Davis. "Where are the Federal and Provincial Ministers of Fisheries, the Premier, and Federal Members of Parliament who represent the people of our province? What actions have they taken to address the escalating situation with the fishery?"
There are a number of avenues that could be pursued which include: a federal summit led by the Federal Government to be convened immediately in Newfoundland and Labrador; an immediate process to set up a joint management structure for the fishery; reinstatement of an all-party committee; reinstatement of the $400 million dollar fisheries fund which was promised by the Prime Minister, and the release of details of new science investments that have been established and how research will review the fishery ecosystem.
"We are concerned for the well-being of Mr. Richard Gillett whose circumstance is symbolic of the unrest and frustration in the province," said Kevin Parsons, Opposition Critic for Fisheries. "We have encouraged both Ministers to act now, demonstrate leadership and show a willingness for a cooperative effort to ensure the best interests of the fishery, all harvesters, processors and Mr. Gillett."
"It is critical that both the Federal and Provincial Minister of Fisheries and the Liberal government take immediate action to ensure the people of the province that they will stand by the Newfoundland and Labrador fishery, and put the needs of the people of the province first," said Davis.
