Three generations come out in force for Brain Tumour Research launch event
Three generations and a guide dog from Aylesbury have helped to launch a national fundraising campaign aimed at finding a cure for brain tumours.
Shannon Moore, aged 22 from Long Meadow, is a brain tumour patient and supporter of the national charity Brain Tumour Research. Joined by her mother Paula White, father Trevor Moore, grandmother Lorraine White who is a long-time supporter and volunteer for the charity, grandfather Trevor White, and her Labrador guide dog Indy, Shannon travelled to Milton Keynes to support the official launch of the Wear A Hat Day which takes place on Thursday 29th March.
The family attended the event at the charity's HQ on Saturday 3rd March, where they met businesswoman, model and brain tumour survivor Caprice Bourret.
Shannon was first diagnosed with a craniopharyngioma brain tumour aged only nine years old. After several operations, courses of radiotherapy and hormone treatment, 22-year-old Shannon is now certified blind. Shannon, said: "I'm so pleased to be part of the Wear a Hat Day 2018 launch. Seeing so many patients, families and supporters come together is really inspiring and it gives me hope that one day a cure for this horrible disease will be found."
Paula, Shannon's mother, added: "Despite the snow, we were all so determined to attend the Wear A Hat Day launch. We've experienced first-hand how devastating and life-changing a brain tumour diagnosis is for patients and their families, which is why it's so important to us that research into this disease continues. Other families haven't been as lucky as us, so the least we can do is don our hats for Wear A Hat Day and help to raise awareness."
Caprice underwent surgery to remove a low-grade brain tumour which was diagnosed a year ago and continues to be monitored by her medical team. Launching Wear A Hat Day 2018, she said: "I have been so touched by Shannon's story. It is a sad fact that brain tumours affect so many people and that this devastating disease is indiscriminate and can affect anyone at any age – I never even used to get headaches before I was diagnosed.
"I'm proud to be working with Shannon and so many others to support Wear A Hat Day. I want everyone to get involved! It's such a fun event and anyone can take part. Let's all put our hats on, do something positive and support the fantastic research going on right now. I'm determined to try to make a difference for the 16,000 people diagnosed with a brain tumour each year."
Other high-profile names supporting Wear A Hat Day 2018 are television, radio and stage performer, Debbie McGee, who lost husband Paul Daniels to a brain tumour in 2016 and actor and author Sheila Hancock CBE, whose grandson survived a childhood brain tumour.
Specsavers will be supporting Wear A Hat Day 2018 as an official sponsor for the first time.
Wear A Hat Day has raised over a million pounds since it was launched by Brain Tumour Research nine years ago and is the culmination of Brain Tumour Awareness Month in March. The big day will see schools, workplaces, families and individuals across the UK fundraising and taking part in fun events to raise awareness of brain tumours and help fund life-saving research.
Brain tumours are indiscriminate; they can affect anyone, at any age. What's more, they kill more children and adults under the age of 40 than any other cancer, yet just 1% of the national spend on cancer research has been allocated to this devastating disease.
Funds raised through Wear A Hat Day 2018 will develop the charity's network of world-class brain tumour research centres in the UK.

Brain Tumour Research is the only national charity in the UK focused on funding sustainable research to find a cure for brain tumours. We have established a game-changing network of world-class Research Centres of Excellence in the UK. Embracing passionate member charities nationwide, over £6 million was raised towards research and support during 2017.
We are campaigning to see the national spend on research into brain tumours increased to £30 - £35 million a year, in line with breast cancer and leukaemia. The unprecedented success of our 2015 petition led to the 2016 Westminster Hall debate and Brain Tumour Research taking a leading role in the Government's Task and Finish Working Group convened to tackle the historic underfunding for research with the report being published in 2018.
They kill more children than leukaemia
They kill more men under 45 than prostate cancer
They kill more women under 35 than breast cancer
Just 1% of the national spend on cancer research has been allocated to this devastating disease
In the UK 16,000 people each year are diagnosed with a brain tumour
Incidences of, and deaths from, brain tumours are increasing

What the Gonski 2 Review got wrong
Jennifer Buckingham, Blaise Joseph
Centre for Independent Studies
In 2010, the Labor federal government commissioned David Gonski to review funding arrangements for schools and provide advice on a new transparent and consistent system for all states and sectors. It was hoped this would end the persistent divisive public and political debates about school funding.
The first 'Gonski report' published in 2012 was generally well-received. But the resultant funding model — devised by the federal government after months of negotiations with state and territory governments and non-government school authorities — was neither transparent nor consistent, and required significant annual increases in the federal education budget well into the future.
When a Liberal federal government was elected in 2013, the funding model was still under heated debate, which has not abated since. The current model has been modified to reduce the rate of growth in expenditure (although still increasing to all sectors annually) while attempting to maintain consistency; even if transparency has still not been achieved.
In May 2017, the federal government announced it had commissioned David Gonski to chair another panel, this time to review educational evidence and provide advice on how additional expenditure on school education over the next decade should be spent to improve student outcomes.
The 'Gonski 2.0 report' was released at the end of April 2018. Federal Education Minister, Simon Birmingham, described the report as an "outstanding blueprint for change" and the government endorsed in principle all 23 of its recommendations.
However, while some stakeholders welcomed the overall thrust of the report, the recommendations have attracted significant skepticism and criticism from a range of people and organisations.
This policy paper is not a point-by-point critique of the Gonski 2.0 report ('the Review'). It is rather an analysis of some of the key recommendations, and an appraisal of the Review's fulfilment of the Terms of Reference

The W87 is an American thermonuclear missile warhead formerly deployed on the LGM-118A Peacekeeper ("MX") ICBM. 50 MX missiles were built, each carrying up to 10 W87 warheads in multiple independently targetable reentry vehicles (MIRV), and were deployed from 1986 to 2005.  Starting in 2007, 250 of the W87 warheads from retired Peacekeeper missiles were retrofitted onto much older Minuteman III missiles, with one warhead per missile.

Description

Design of the W87 (now called the W87 Mod 0 or W87-0) started in February 1982 at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory and production of the warhead began in July 1986 and ended in December 1988.  Its design is reportedly somewhat similar to the W88, though that warhead was designed at Los Alamos National Laboratory.  The weapons are part of a National Nuclear Security Administration nuclear weapons lifecycle program.

The W87 design includes all modern safety features, including the insensitive high explosives LX-17 and PBX-9502 (primary component TATB), a fire-resistant pit, and advanced arming and fuzing safety features.

The original yield of the W87 was 300 kilotons, but it has the announced ability to be upgraded to a yield of 475 kilotons, presumably by using more highly enriched uranium (HEU) in the fusion secondary stage tamper. It is not known if that upgrade was completely tested and ready to implement, or merely designed.

The exact dimensions of the W87 are classified, but it fits inside the Mk. 21 reentry vehicle, which is a cone with base diameter of  and a length of . The weight is believed to be between .

W87 mod 1
In addition to the higher yield upgrade option described above, a specific variant W87 mod 1 (W87-1) entered Phase 3 development engineering and was assigned its type designation in November 1988.  This variant was intended for the MGM-134 Midgetman small ICBM missile and was intended to have the full 475 kiloton yield.  The W87-1 had a planned first production unit date of July 1997, but Midgetman and W87-1 were canceled in January 1992.

In 2019, the W87 mod 1 was selected to replace the W78 warhead deployed on all Minuteman III missiles not currently carrying the W87 mod 0. The new warhead will not be deployed onto Minuteman III, but instead be deployed on Minuteman III's replacement ICBM system LGM-35A Sentinel (formerly Ground Based Strategic Deterrent or GBSD). It is not clear if the new W87 mod 1 program is a continuation of the previous W87 mod 1 program, or if it uses any of the physics package developed in the previous W87 mod 1 program.

Information released by the Department of Energy on the program states that it "has a similar primary design to the W87-0", which could be evidence that it is like the previous W87 mod 1 program in that it has a different or modified secondary to produce a higher yield.  The DoE states that the weapon is based on previously tested nuclear components, with a primary stage containing insensitive high explosives and advanced safety features, but that the weapon does not provide any new military capabilities.

Phase 6.2 Feasibility Study was halted in 2014 before being restarted in 2019. Phase 6.3 Development Engineering is planned to begin July 2022, with 6.4 Production Engineering planned for mid 2026 and 6.5 Initial Production planned for 2030.

It is planned for the Sentinel missile to deploy in 2028, with W87-0 warheads initially being fitted to the system and W87-1 warheads being fitted from 2030 onward. This affords the air force a small amount of flexibility if the W87-1 is delayed.

A religião é uma poderosa força política e social no Haiti, um país predominantemente católico romano.

Cristianismo
Cerca de 95% da população afirmam professar crenças cristãs e, a denominação mais professada, de longe, é o catolicismo romano. À semelhança do resto da América Latina, o Haiti foi colonizado por potências católicas européias. Na sequência deste legado, o catolicismo é consagrado na Constituição haitiana como a religião oficial do Estado, e entre 80 e 85% dos haitianos são católicos. O Papa João Paulo II visitou o Haiti em 1983. Em um discurso na capital do país, Porto Príncipe, ele criticou o governo de Jean-Claude Duvalier. Acredita-se que o impacto desse discurso sobre a burocracia Católica no Haiti, contribuiu para a sua remoção em 1986.

Segundo a Igreja Católica no Haiti, as dez dioceses das duas províncias eclesiásticas do Haiti contam com até 251 paróquias e cerca de 1500 cristãos das comunidades rurais. O clero local possui 400 sacerdotes diocesanos e 300 seminaristas. Há também 1.300 religiosos sacerdotes missionários pertencentes a mais de 70 ordens religiosas e confrarias.

Outras denominações cristãs
Entre 10 e 15% dos cristãos professos do Haiti são evangélicos. A Igreja Ortodoxa Oriental possui missões no Haiti. A Igreja Adventista do Sétimo Dia e o pentecostalismo também possuem seguidores significativos.

Santos dos Últimos Dias (Mórmons)
A Igreja de Jesus Cristo dos Santos dos Últimos Dias foi estabelecida no Haiti em 1977. O trabalho missionário aberto no Haiti foi em maio de 1980, sob a direcção da Missão das Índias Ocidentais. Atualmente, existem 15.489 santos dos últimos dias no país..

Testemunhas de Jeová
As Testemunhas de Jeová estão presentes com cerca de 16.000 membros, sendo que mais de 65.000 tem assistido suas reuniões ou participando de seus cursos bíblicos. As Testemunhas estão promovendo sua educação bíblica no Haiti por mais de 80 anos. Em 2009 tiveram um aumento médio de 5%. Relatórios oficiais indicam que a Associação internacional das Testemunhas de Jeová prestou ativamente ajuda humanitária ao povo do Haiti, após o Terremoto do Haiti de 2010.

Vodu
É muito comum a prática de Vodu no Haiti. Estima-se que 80% dos católicos do país praticam os rituais de vodu. Também conhecido como vodoo, esta religião de origem africana é também considerada a religião oficial do país desde 2003.

Islamismo
Existe uma pequena comunidade muçulmana no Haiti, principalmente residente em Porto Príncipe e seus subúrbios. A história do Islã no Haiti começa com a escravidão no país.

2023 O'Donnell Award in Physical Sciences: Erez Lieberman Aiden, Ph.D.
Baylor College of Medicine Biophysical Scientist Erez Lieberman Aiden, Ph.D., Recognized for Mapping and Understanding the Architecture of the Human Genome and Its Potential for Curing Disease
The human body holds approximately 20,000 genes, or recipes for the proteins that direct all the processes that make up the human body. However, the majority of the genome is made up of "dark matter," without protein-code information, where loops and folds are hidden that can control the expression of genes. Dr. Aiden and his collaborators have created a series of methods to map and modify the looping and folding of the genome, which allows him to explore and alter how genes are turned on and off.
By understanding how the genome folds and functions, and how its dark matter can be manipulated, Dr. Aiden is providing insight into all elements of life processes. His team is currently working at Baylor College of Medicine to determine how this work can be applied to genome sequences in clinical settings and the hope is that it will eventually be used to target dark matter in the body to treat disease.
"Dr. Aiden's research has been no less than transformative and his multidisciplinary approach to science has been key to his discoveries," said Nominator and TAMEST 2023 Board President Brendan Lee, M.D., Ph.D. (NAM), Professor and Chair of Molecular and Human Genetics and Robert and Janice McNair Endowed Chair in Molecular and Human Genetics, Baylor College of Medicine. "He doesn't just use genetics, he uses computation, physics and other specialties to tackle these big questions of how the human genome folds and fits inside a single cell nucleus and how manipulating that process leads to potential clinical application. The impact of this work is just unbelievable."
Dr. Aiden is one of five Texas-based researchers receiving the TAMEST 2023 Edith and Peter O'Donnell Awards. Each are chosen for their individual contributions addressing the essential role that science and technology play in society, and whose work meets the highest standards of exemplary professional performance, creativity and resourcefulness.
Dr. Aiden will be recognized at the 2023 Edith and Peter O'Donnell Awards Ceremony on Wednesday, May 24, 2023, and will give a presentation on his research preceding the award ceremony at the TAMEST 2023 Annual Conference: Forward Texas – Accelerating Change in Houston, Texas, at the The InterContinental Houston – Medical Center.
About the O'Donnell Awards:
The Edith and Peter O'Donnell Awards annually recognize rising star Texas researchers who are addressing the essential role that science and technology play in society, and whose work meets the highest standards of exemplary professional performance, creativity and resourcefulness.
Thanks to a $1.15 million gift from the O'Donnell Foundation in 2022, the O'Donnell Awards have expanded to include an additional science award. The awards now recognize recipients in the categories of Medicine, Engineering, Biological Sciences, Physical Sciences and Technology Innovation. (Previously, the TAMEST O'Donnell Awards rotated its science award between physical and biological sciences every year.)
The Edith and Peter O'Donnell Awards are made possible by the O'Donnell Awards Endowment Fund, established in 2005 through the generous support of several individuals and organizations. View a full list of supporters here.

According to its Statute, the Neocatechumenal Way "is at the service of the Bishops as a form of diocesan implementation of Christian initiation and of ongoing education in faith, in accordance with the indications of the Second Vatican Council and the Magisterium of the Church".
It is made up of a "post-baptismal catechumenate" (or baptismal catechumenate if the members have not received the sacrament of baptism), an ongoing education in faith and a service of catechesis.
The Neocatechumenal Way is implemented in the dioceses under the jurisdiction, direction of the diocesan Bishop and with the guidance of the Responsible Team of the Way "according to the lines proposed by its initiators".
The Neocatechumenate is led by the International Responsible Team of the Way, which comprises the Initiators, Kiko Argüello and Carmen Hernández, together with Father Mario Pezzi, a priest of the Diocese of Rome. Under the terms of the 2007 statute, this team will remain in place until the demise of its members, after which an electoral college of senior neocatechumenal catechists will elect a new team, and with the approval of the Pontifical Council for the Laity, will have a mandate to lead the NC Way for a period of 7 years until reelection.
Leadership at national and regional level is given by around 700 teams of "Itinerant Catechists", comprising a priest and 2 or 3 lay people, appointed and supervised by the International Responsible Team. Depending on the number of communities in a particular area, a team of Itinerant Catechists may be responsible for the implementation of the NC Way in a country, a group of countries or a region of a country.
"They contribute by forming the first neocatechumenal communities of a parish, and are supposed to maintain regular contact with the Bishops of the diocese in which they work; the itinerant teams preserve a constant link with the responsibles of the Neocatechumenal Way, visiting periodically the communities they catechized and taking care of the development of the Neocatechumenal Way in the territory assigned to them, being fully faithful to the charism given to the initiators and obedient to the local Ordinary."
The Itinerant Catechists do not make any formal commitment to their missionary role, and are free to resign at any moment.
In front of the secularization of Northern Europe and vast areas in the world, the Initiators of the Neocatechumenal Way, have begun the experience of families in mission. This charisma serves to establish the presence of the Catholic Church in countries where there is none (this is referred as Implantatio Ecclesiae) or to strengthen the presence of Catholic communities in particularly difficult areas.
About two-hundred families met with Pope Benedict XVI asking for the missionary mandate before beginning their mission to mainly France, Belgium, Germany and China on January 12, 2006 bringing the number of "Families in Mission" from the Neocatechumenal Way to over five-hundred in the entire world. The Pope also spoke about the "certain norms" contained in the letter from the Congregation for Divine Worship on the celebration of the Holy Eucharist in the Neocatechumenal communities. He explained that the purpose of these norms is to make the apostolate of the Neocatechumenal Way "even more effective" in communion with all the People of God.
In March 2008 the Neocatechumenal Way held a meeting with nine cardinals, including Cardinal Paul Josef Cordes, and Cardinal Stanislaw Rylko, and 160 European bishops who gathered March 24-29 at the Domus Galilaeae International Center on the Mount of Beatitudes in Galilee. Cardinal Schönborn said that during the last 40 years Europe has said 'no' to its future three times: in 1968 when it rejected 'Humanae Vitae'; then, 20 years later, with the legalization of abortion; and today with homosexual marriages. He also called the Neocatechumenal Way an answer of the Holy Spirit to this situation. A joint declaration from the bishops said Here we have an important proposal, the proposal of the Neocatechumenal Way, which is to renew the life of the family.
January 10, 2009, the Pope met with over 10,000 people for a celebration marking the 40th anniversary of the Neocatechumenal Way in Rome. In this celebration there was a sending of several whole communities who have finished the way on mission, as well as Itinerant catechists, mission families, and the Missio Ad Gentes. The Missio Ad Gentes, a newer form of mission in the Neocatechumenal Way, involves the sending of three, four, or five whole families to a certain area under the request of the bishop.
•	missionary, i.e. that upon ordination, the priests are available to go wherever the ordinary sends them.
In 1988, the first Redemptoris Mater Seminary was erected by Cardinal Poletti, Vicar of the Holy Father in Rome.
In June 2007, Abuna Elias Chacour (Melkite Archbishop of the Archeparchy of Acri, Haifa, Nazareth, and all Galilee) has proposed the establishment of a new "branch" of the Neocatechumenal Way "to work specifically in the Eastern-rite Church" (Melkite liturgy). Archbishop Chacour states in his message that he has searched for "someone or some community to preach the Good News to my parishioners" as an answer to proselytism of the sects, and that the Neocatechumenal Way is an answer. Fr. Rino Rossi received the letter with great joy and reported to ZENIT that "We share the sense of urgency expressed by Archbishop Chacour to evangelize 'the living stones' in the land of the Lord."
It has now also been announced that a Redemptoris Mater Seminary of the Melkite Rite is due to open in 2008.


I was at Dollar Tree the other day and came across these cute little plastic mason type jars. I knew I had to grab them because there are so many little fun projects you can do with little jars. These Decorative Storage Jars for Kids are the perfect addition to any room or desk and you can add just about anything that will fit into them inside! I've had these jars for over two weeks and really didn't have any idea as to what to do with them. Then Ava was telling me she really had nowhere to put her art and craft supplies like her pom poms, her sequins and things like that. So I told her I'd figure out something to do with these jars that would make them a cute addition to her room.
That's when she came up with the idea of adding paint to the lids and feathers to make them a bit more decorative! I thought, well that beats anything I could think of plus it would be super cheap to do because we already have everything on hand to do this!
For these, we used feathers we already had in the house. They were falling off some pens we had gotten at Dollar Tree a few months back so I figured instead of going out and buying new ones we'd use these. They are a perfect size and it's a great chance to upcycle! Using a darker paint color like the blue leaves marks. It's unavoidable, I tried multiple different techniques and nothing worked. I needed to use this specific blue due to the feather though if you can pick a different one. Keeping the colors close to what the colors are in your feathers makes them really look adorable and keeps them tied together.
NOTES: You can use any feathers, or glue that you have on hand. I recommended a glue gun or crazy glue though as white glue and/or a glue stick really wouldn't be ideal or work well. I would also recommend a bigger paintbrush than what I used for the darker colors so you'll have fewer markings/blotches.
After heating up your glue gun place a blob of glue on the top of the jar lid, and a quickly stand the feather up in it. Holding in place for 2 minutes.
Let them dry, fill up your jars then screw the lids on to the tops of your jars!
Easy and cute. I don't like hard and drawn out DIY/Decor projects so this was such a breath of fresh air being able to finished them in about 20 minutes, and it only took so long because of paint drying! You can use these for just about anything too. Doesn't have to be arts and crafts related. Makeup brushes, spices in the kitchen, buttons, needles for sewing, pretty much anything that can fit in a jar. I do believe these also come in different sizes too, so they are great for a lot of things!


Business gifts can be a tricky thing, especially with business partners, clients, and other professional relationships. Some people have trouble getting gifts for their family members, so you can imagine how difficult it can be to choose a B2B gift. Real, hand-rolled bagels might be the option you need.
When it comes to business gifts, many people like to tread lightly. The last thing you want to do is offend someone or give them a gift they might not need or enjoy. For that reason, many people like to stick with what works -- things you can eat or give to other members of the family/office. However, consider if they have dietary restrictions or religious rules. For example, some people might not be able to receive alcohol, cheeses, cured meats, or mixed nuts. Bagels are usually safe, and New Yorker Bagels are kosher.
New Yorker Bagels has a solution for corporate gift giving. Consumables are almost always a good idea, and bagels are the perfect gift for an associate. The flavor variety and versatility of bagels make them ideal, and New Yorker Bagels offers customizable boxes and short-term subscriptions as gift options. A repeating gift can keep you in a vendor's good graces all year long and make potential long term clients think of you when considering their budget each quarter.
1 Dozen Bagel Gift-Box. Fully customizable: pick four flavors you think your recipient might enjoy, and we'll handle the rest!
3 Dozen Bagel Gift-Box. In case one dozen wasn't enough, this box is the perfect gift for an entire office -- with 6 flavors, everyone is bound to find something they like.
Bagel-of-the-Month Subscription. A monthly subscription of our 4 most popular bagel flavors. Starts with 3 monthly deliveries and has options for a long term subscription.
Surprise Bagel-of-the-Month Subscription. In case you want to spice things up, we offer a surprise subscription. Every month, the selection changes so your gift is always fresh, new, and exciting.
Flat and Mini Bagels. A fun twist on a timeless product, and you can give them as a gift!
Finally, gift cards are a great option if you're not sure what flavors your business associates prefer. Give them $25-$200 worth of bagel goodness, which they can redeem any time they like.

More On Ehren Watada
Posted on February 12, 2007 by RagBlog
The Army blinked
By Geov Parrish
Feb 9, 2007, 06:02
An amazing thing happened in a courtroom at Fort Lewis, Washington on Wednesday. The U.S. Army was in the third day of what to all appearances was a kangaroo court martial of Lt. Ehren Watada, over his refusal to deploy for what he believes to be an illegal war in Iraq. (Noted one courtroom observer: "I had images of robe-clad kangaroos hopping through my head…") The judge, Lt. Col. John Head, had seemingly done his best in the trial's first two days to ensure conviction, while Watada had steadfastly maintained his belief that he had a duty not to follow an illegal order to deploy to Iraq.
Then, suddenly, the Army blinked, and there was a mistrial. And due to double jeopardy issues, the Army may be unable to retry Watada, or to give him anything as punishment beyond a dishonorable discharge.
Essentially, Head coerced the mistrial, ruling that Watada "did not understand" a pre-trial stipulation, prepared by the Army and signed by Lt. Watada last week, which dropped two additional charges in exchange for Watada acknowledging, among other things, that he willfully refused to deploy. Head had already ruled that Watada could not use his reason for refusal -– the illegality of the Iraq conflict -– as a defense, and so Head had excluded all of the defense team's witnesses to that effect. To the judge, this then meant Watada was acknowledging guilt in the pre-trial stipulation. But when the Watada team successfully motioned to include a jury instruction that Watada be found innocent if he "reasonably believed" that what he was doing was legal, after prosecution witnesses had already testified to that effect, the Army's case fell apart. Head, in his haste to control the damage, wound up declaring a mistrial over Watada's objection.
Head tentatively set a retrial date in mid-March. But a judge or prosecution cannot simply abandon a trial in mid-proceeding over the defense's objection because it doesn't like the way a trial is going. That's what double jeopardy is about, and Watada's attorney has already said he will fight any effort to retry the lieutenant. That's why, Wednesday night, Army spin doctors were doing their best to express satisfaction with the bizarre outcome by noting how it shows the fairness of the military justice system –- rather than by reiterating the Army's belief that Watada acted illegally.
Watada, in other words, improbably, won this round, and may have won his battle with the Army. (The war, however, still rages on.)

Deserved trust for news, views | Inquirer Opinion

Deserved trust for news, views
Philippine Daily Inquirer / 05:07 AM December 09, 2021
On the verge of the new year that will see a literal battle between political continuity and change, the Philippine Daily Inquirer is marking its 36th anniversary with a renewed effort to strengthen both its footing and its presence in a crowded field.
Newspapering and journalism committed to truth telling acquire even greater significance at this time when troll farms and spin doctors go the whole hog and the COVID-19 pandemic looms large despite dropping infection rates, making of itself a still formidable factor against which the media, alongside business and industry, have to contend.
The road forward is, although rocky, clear in terms of priorities: to keep our head above water in a battered economy that is heading tentatively toward recovery, and to uphold and protect the content for which the Inquirer is known and trusted. The length of time the Inquirer has traveled from its scrappy beginnings on Dec. 9, 1985, remains a source of wonder and pride among its people, as do the readership and patronage that have expanded since then. Its endurance, whether under a harsh political climate or a pandemic-induced languor, whether embracing the digital era or grappling with the novel realities of working from home, buoys its spirit.
Omicron as 'trangkaso'
Abetting police misconduct?
No debate, no win
We are, therefore, marking this day as another high point in our collective journey. On the pages of today's issue is the culmination of the weeklong acknowledgement of the newspaper's multi-platform growth as well as the women and men, whether in its regular workforce or part of its extended family of readers, letter-writers, contributors, and advertisers, who have made and continue to make this expansion possible. It is to them and our ongoing partnership that the Inquirer's mission to deserve and earn trust through its content is directed.
As Inquirer president and CEO Rudyard Arbolado tells his interlocutor Cathy Cañares Yamsuan somewhere in this issue, "Content should be relevant and address the readers' needs. It should not just give updates on the day's issues but also provide a helpful perspective." Here is where the Inquirer makes it personal for its readers who, Arbolado observes, "are actually telling us: Inspire me, educate me, divert me [to new useful stuff]." It's a dynamic give and take that has sustained a relationship of trust on one hand and, on the other, the delivery of reliable information necessary for making a correct choice.
The reportage in Inquirer News, backed by Inquirer Research for deep backgrounding, seeks to keep readers updated on developments in the burning issues, including those unresolved even as the years wear on, and to some extent provides helpful angles previously unnoticed. Inquirer Opinion, in leading the national conversation, supplies the reasoning for certain crucial standpoints and the arguments on which to base a specific principle (and possibly, as an offshoot, even the grounds on which to meditate on the number of angels that can dance on the head of a pin). The rest of the sections pitch in to meet readers' information needs, such as Inquirer Sports' coverage of the Tokyo Olympics including Hidilyn Diaz's thrilling gold victory, arguably the most comprehensive in these parts.
According to the formulation of executive editor Volt Contreras to Yamsuan, the Inquirer can be "both as a Liwasang Bonifacio for the citizen and, a jeepney ride away, a Divisoria for the consumer, so to speak, for truthseeking and for trendspotting"—in the process providing both "engaging" and "high-calorie" content. We persevere in performing the task of content distribution using different formats and platforms old and new, such as inquirer.net, InquirerPlus, the newsletters produced by the paper's sections, and social media cards aimed at readers in a rush. We are mindful of the reality that in the digital era, to shirk at innovation is to miss out on opportunities for connection and to be excluded from the mainstream.
Still we strive to keep our unique identity, whether exemplified in photographs that leap out of the page, reportage on the imperiled state of human rights, the brutal war on drugs, or powerful people losing it in official functions, or in special reports on a frayed educational system or the bane (massive unemployment) and boon (flourishing flora and fauna) of the pandemic.
The journey, while rewarding, has not been smooth; as experienced by other media companies, the economics and politics of truth telling in this part of the world is — par for the course — fraught with uncertainty and risk. But at 36, the Inquirer is staying the course: It's pressing on in delivering on its promise of deserved trust for its coverage and commentary, for its news and views.

Foothills Parkway future; Conversation set on finding way to protect views
By Robert Norris bobn@thedailytimes.com
Bob Norris
After decades of hits and misses, the "Missing Link" is finally connected and the Foothills Parkway extending from Cthowee Lake in Blount County into Wears Valley in Sevier County is completed.
So the work to open up these magnificent Great Smoky Mountains National Park vistas to the motoring public is done, right?
Not exactly. The parkway itself is part of GSMNP, but the protected land extends only about 500 feet from each side of the parkway. Building road access to the scenic views was one thing, but protecting the splendor of those views is another. Some of those vistas are of mountains inside the Smokies proper, but much of it is viewed over private property unprotected from development.
That's why people who want to raise awareness about the continued need for maintaining the beauty of these lands are holding "An Open Invitation for a Community Conversation."
The conversation will be about preserving the scenic views opened up by the new roadway with the latest extension of the Foothills Parkway.
The event will be held at 6:30 p.m. Tuesday, April 16, at the Great Smoky Mountains Heritage Center, 123 Cromwell Drive, Townsend.
The idea blossomed like it might for most people familiar with the Foothills Parkway — by driving it. Jeanie Hilten, a former member of the Foothills Land Conservancy board of directors, remembers the moment.
"My husband, Richard, and I were driving and enjoying the new Foothills Parkway and astounded with the views. We realized that the parkway, the protected area itself, is fairly narrow. We just thought if people are interested and committed to keeping these beautiful views, there might be some way that we could come together to protect the scenic views," Hilten said.
That narrow area she referred to is the 500 or so feet on each side of the road that is actually in GSMNP when motorists look off the side of the Foothills Parkway at the scenery. The Hiltens wondered if there is a way to keep nature's vision as it is seen from the parkway.
"That would maybe also protect forests and watershed and wildlife and help us to be good stewards of the land that we see from the Foothills Parkway. We thought we'd have a community meeting and call it a conversation. I think that's a wonderful way to put it, to see the private landowners who might feel a responsibility for stewardship also."
With GSMNP being the most-visited national park in America, there's no doubt about the allure of the Smokies. Organizers of the "conversation" recognize that and are promoting the meeting by saying in an announcement, "With the understanding of our region's popularity — both for its recreational aspect and as a draw to live and work here — perhaps its time do discuss how best to retain the scenic views, rural character, open spaces and wildlife corridors that we all know and love."
Development already in place
That talk is timely with the newly opened 16-mile western portion of the Foothills Parkway that extends from Walland into Wears Valley.
Richard Hilten points out that when on the parkway and looking toward the park, most of that land in between is privately owned. He's spotted construction underway from the new section of the parkway.
"We've already started to see a lot of roads and little developments coming up in there, and we think of why we go to the Smokies. It's not to look at subdivisions, it's to look at the grandeur. And some of those vistas today, looking into the valley, towards Wears Valley into the park, it still looks pretty much like you would imagine the Smokies community to look. But if you add 100,000 houses and driveways and swimming pools and (RVs) parked in driveways, it can only mar the vista and thus take away from what it is that people come here to see and enjoy," he said.
The Hiltens are aware they are part of the populace that has come to the outskirts of the Smokies to live. They have a small farm in Walland. It's not like they want to deprive people the use of their property.
"I live in a house. We understand people live in houses. The same as I drive a car and burn fuel and flush a commode. I try to be environmentally concerned as well as the next person, but there's some things that are just too grand," Richard Hilten said.
"Thankfully, back in the '30s there were women and men who had the vision to set aside what we now know as Great Smoky Mountains National Park. Who would have imagined in those days that 10 million or 12 million visitors a year would come to share and see this view?"
Foothills Land Conservancy
Exactly so. Which is why the Foothills Land Conservancy was founded, to protect environmentally precious land from development. So why not just continue with that effort with this new section of the Foothills Parkway?
Bill Clabough, FLC executive director, is well aware. The Hilten's and Billy Minser, also very active in conservation efforts, approached the conservancy about taking this on as an additional responsibility.
"For us our mission is land protection. We got started right here. But I realized really quickly what an overwhelming and huge project this could be. I needed to talk to the board about it," Clabough said.
Talk they did. Consider they did. The conclusion was to pump the brakes.
"Even though it's right at the top of our list, we needed to make sure we could still accommodate additional workload," Clabough said.
Part of the consideration was the fact that FLC already has more than 300 potential conservancy participants from last year they still need to reach out to. That's been the method of operation. People contact them. The idea of identifying and reaching out to maybe 1,000 or more landowners with property viewed from the new parkway section was an overwhelming task.
"We realized how important it was, but I think we also realized that we could be a partner, we could be a very supportive group. That we could do. From that, from many of our discussions with Jeannie and Richard and Billy and our board and staff, we came up with the idea to have this, like a town hall meeting and find out just how involved the community wanted to be in this effort."
At this point, Clabough says he thinks the most feasible start would be to form a committee to head up the effort and determine the level of support.
"To me, that's what Tuesday night is about. Is there community support? Is there a community initiative? People in the community willing to tackle this huge effort that we could be a part of?"
Clabough knows there are spectacular views now visible thanks to the new parkway miles. Thunderhead, Silers Bald, the crest of the Smokies. All government land. But the land in between isn't public.
"We don't get any government money," Clabough said. "If people want to do it, that's great. If they don't, that's the reason we live in Blount County and the state of Tennessee and America, isn't it?"

Well, that was… no, not quite anticlimactic, as it did turn out to involve a more extensive rearranging of the cabinet seating plan than was initially predicted in the wake of now-former Treasury Board president Scott Brison's announcement that he won't run for re-election this fall, and would be stepping down from cabinet in the interim.
But while Prime Minister Justin Trudeau may have made a few more changes than strictly necessary — which, at its most minimalist, could have simply required promoting literally any one of the nine Nova Scotia MPs currently in caucus to fill the Treasury Board post, and calling it a day — it's worth noting that he didn't seize on Brison's resignation as a pretext to perform a more radical overhaul of his front-bench lineup.
For those scanning the subtext of today's reveal for clues on what to expect as Team Trudeau shifts into pre-election mode, the timing is also telling: Brison likely wanted to notify his boss of his decision before the extended cabinet huddle in Sherbrooke, Que., later this week, which is why he revealed his plans last week.
In fact, it's entirely possible — and even plausible, based on past practice — that he did so at the express request of the prime minister, who may well have advised his cabinet ministers to let him know at their earliest possible convenience if they intend to forego another go-round on the hustings this fall, precisely so he and his staff could keep a running list of potential openings for high-performing MPs who could be ready to make the jump to the executive tier.
Why? Because as counterintuitive as it may seem, the last few months leading into a campaign may be the safest time to test the mettle of a potential future cabinet player.
Practically speaking, very few bills introduced between now and the summer recess have any hope at all of making it to the legislative finish line — or, indeed, even through the House of Commons, let alone the Senate. That's not a criticism of the current government's time-management skills, though it's fair to say they're not particularly good at it. In this case, it's just basic math.
There are a finite number of sitting days left, and a long list of bills already working their way through the queue, which means that, from this point onward, all new bills should be regarded as pre-election previews of what to expect if the Liberals are returned to office for a second term.
Now, that's not to suggest that ministers don't have a long list of responsibilities outside the Chamber.
There are, of course, always files to monitor and policies to implement, not to mention an office to staff and a department to run. There's also a standing daily date with the opposition front bench for question period, during which you may or may not be expected to defend your — and, in some cases, your government's — performance to date.
Some portfolios are inherently more likely to attract the spotlight, including Justice, which is why former McGill law professor and first-time MP David Lametti may be facing the most high-pressure transition to his new gig, particularly when compared to fellow cabinet newcomer Bernadette Jordan, who has the advantage of starting fresh with the newly created role of minister for Rural Economic Development.
Then again, thanks to the four uninterrupted years that his predecessor spent on the job, Lametti can at least take comfort in the fact that most of the big-ticket items listed in the original and follow-up mandate letters have already been ticked off the list, most notably the legalization of recreational marijuana and the new laws on physician-assisted suicide, as well as an extensive overhaul of the criminal justice process.
He will, however, still have to shepherd through changes to the family law regime, which are currently poised for Senate review this spring, and deal with the ongoing criticism of the sluggish pace with which the government has been filling judicial vacancies.
But unlike those ministers who were appointed back in 2015, or even at the midway point in the mandate, Lametti and Jordan are, effectively, on a short-term contract that may or may not be renewed following the election.
In fact, that applies to the entire cabinet — not just the two newcomers, but also the three other ministers involved in today's shuffle, as well as those whose jobs were left unchanged by the retooling.
After all, even if Team Trudeau does prevail at the ballot box, there's no guarantee the cabinet will be resurrected in its original pre-campaign form, even if most, or all, of the current members keep their seats, or if even those invited to stay on will keep the same jobs they hold today.
All of which is to say that, for those quietly astonished to see Seamus O'Regan reassigned from Veterans Affairs (where reviews of his performance have been distinctly negative) to the highly sensitive, mission-critical job of managing Indigenous Services; or those lamenting the loss of Jane Philpott to the relative obscurity of Treasury Board; or those simply wondering whether to believe Trudeau when he insists that Wilson Raybould's shift from Justice to Veterans Affairs was not a demotion, consider this a closed beta for Team Trudeau v2.0, and stay tuned.

I love being in a practice of meditation. Its reminds me that life is a constant, moving meditation. I feel like it keeps me in flow with my truth, heart, soul. Then that flow from the inside, takes me and more flow from the outside, finds me. And that is just, well...yummy!
Creating an opportunity for someone to reconnect, realize, feel more peace and more of who they truly are, is a passion. I believe we are all designed for greatness and being still for a moment or two, allows that greatness to speak through the stillness. So lets be still, allow greatness to arise and fly.

I practice meditation to center myself from the constant stream of doing. I find it important to pause, breath and just be. This creates and opens space in my body and mind, and allows me to relax in order to take action from a centered place.
I teach meditation with sound to invite people into this practice. Sound gives us something to focus on, besides our thoughts, and allows us to become an observer of our self. You can find comfort in the sounds while getting used to the practice of tuning inwards for longer periods of time.
Torkom Ji is a master sound healer and founder of Quantum Harmonix. He has been facilitating group sound healing experiences since January 2012, and has provided deep meditation and rejuvination for thousands of people using his unique and powerful modality. His sounds have been experienced at various therapeutic sound spaces at many festivals including Lightning in a Bottle, Shakti/Bhakti Fest, and more. Birthed from his studies of music, vibration, energy and the practice of meditation and martial arts; Torkom has mastered and perfected a system that is known to put people in very deep states of consciousness, with little to no effort. Through the natural movement of these sounds, deep rest is achieved and the bodies own intelligence facilitates an elevated level of healing. He works with companies, groups, and individuals to deliver a transformative and non invasive approach to health, balance, and wellness through sound.
Through meditation one finds stillness and connection to the absolute source of creativity and peace. My practice has emboldened my life by helping me ease into a relaxed way of operating, and being. Meditation brings me closer to my true authentic self, and helps with the daily tidying up of the excess thoughts and patterns in the mind.
The best way to learn is to teach. Meditation is a science which requires practice and much experience to truly master. I find that anybody can experience a deep and transformative meditation experience, but its in the practice where all the long lasting benefits lay. Through dedicating myself to the art and science of meditation as a tool and lifestyle, teaching and guiding others naturally extends from the same tree.

Decades ago we learned from many of the leading industry experts that water trees fail cable and we believed this industry myth until we collected cable performance data using the IMCORP Factory Grade® technology and discovered the truth. Based on our experience (footage counter), we found water trees are only part of the cable system failure story and they are highly unlikely to fail cable directly. Cable manufacturers' labs and our data agree that all significantly aged solid dielectric cables have water trees. This means there are billions of water trees present in billions of installed cable systems. Based on long term performance studies we know very few of these water trees will have (1) the 'perfect storm' conditions of sufficient localized electric stress to initiate an electrical (carbon) tree and (2) the operational stressors to drive the carbon tree (or incipent fault channel) to failure. The only water trees of concern are those that can initiate carbon trees. These are precisely the water trees the IMCORP Factory Grade® technology pinpoints and our analysis provides information necessary to assist our clients in removing them and ensure long term cable system reliability.
The picture above shows a large water tree emanating from the conductor shield, with a carbon tree (darker root-like growth) initiated in the enhanced stress area between the water tree and the cable's outer semicon layer (removed in this picture). This carbon tree survived three years of service, annual field, and multiple laboratory, FactoryGrade® assessments without failure.
Contact us to learn how IMCORP Factory Grade® technology can dramatically improve your cable reliability program.
