Papanastasiou & Knossou 30A - Chania - 73134
Georgioupolis Resort, Hotel in Georgioupolis
The plot of about 12.5 acres is located in Varia, outside the limits of Asproulianos settlement, Municipality of Georgioupolis, Apokoronas Chania. The area is accessible by a sideway of Chania-Rethymno Highway, approximately at an equal distance between the two main urban and tourist centers of western Crete. The nearest settlement is that of Georgioupolis.
The distance from the sea is about 300 meters and the slope is a minimum of about 5% on the north-south axis to which the new building volume is oriented.
The activity and therefore the construction of the wider area mainly relates to tourist units, operating mostly in summer.
The plot will also receive tourist use, namely a 5-star hotel facility. To the west of the plot there are existing tourist units, with public areas that the new facility is invited to interact with.
The building volume is organized in 2 basic units, scaled in 3 levels.
The lower level comprises a main building unit with a restaurant and a semi-open area with access to a swimming pool, a reception and administration offices, a semi-open bar-restaurant, a basement and other ancillary areas.
The second level receives the hotel room units which are detached buildings with separate access for each one of them, located in the continuation of the main building, south of it. The design includes three two-storey units (about 100 rooms), with easy access through open-air staircases on each side (north and south) of each of the three.
Adjacent to the room units, at the southern end of the plot, there is a natural wetland with rich aquatic vegetation and characteristic landscape. The area is approached with particular respect, carefully placing free-shape swimming pools and "water park" facilities, while maintaining the natural ecosystem intact.
Although the building volume occupies a large area of the plot, the work is carried out with minimal disturbance to the existing natural environment, which is further boosted as the building volume is surrounded by extensive planting of endemic species. This ensures the creation of a harmonized microclimate of natural cooling, shading, light filters and sound, in accord with the principles of bioclimatic design.

The Ethiopian New Year and its Immediate Challenges
Fitsum Getachew
Sun, 16 Sep 2018 12:34 GMT
Ethiopians have just celebrated their new year - 2011 - which according to the Julian calendar is seven years in the past. 2010 was a year full of significance for Ethiopians as the establishment's main leaders changed radically, with a similar change apparently occurring with the ideology of the party in power. The new year has been highly anticipated by all Ethiopians as a new opening, a new spirit and a new vision, as proclaimed by the current prime minister who came to power following prolonged protests throughout the country during the previous three vibrant and controversial years.
The new prime minister, Abiy Ahmed (PhD), has introduced a new ideology of unity and love for one another among the country's citizens. He dismissed division on ethnic, linguistic or religious lines as something that "has only hurt us and not worked for us". He argues it has motivated us only to kill one another, which is shameful and destructive. He has called for peaceful negotiations on whatever issues we fail to agree and condemned violence and killings as a means of resolving problems as "old fashioned."
He repeatedly asserted that the country needed to unite all its forces and resources and pull in one direction, and not be entangled in intestinal trivialities. He outlined his vision for a more integrated Horn of Africa sub-region, calling upon neighbours such as Djibouti, Sudan, Kenya and, particularly, Eritrea. The latter has always been the closest and most kindred neighbour due to the fact that the two countries were in fact one for years before Eritrea's secession in 1991. The people are of the same stock, and enjoy similar historical traditions. At one official gathering during which the leaders of the two countries were present the premier declared: "From now onwards, if any one believes that Ethiopians and Eritreans are two different peoples, they must be naïve."
One of the most outstanding achievements of this government during the just-ended Ethiopian year has been Abiy Ahmed's decision, along with his party, to accept the Algiers Peace Deal that concluded the 1998-2000 war between the two nations. This was fully accepted by the Eritrean leader Isaias Afeworki and after such a thaw, the two countries have begun very close ties in all aspects.
The two embassies have reopened, transport links by air, sea and land have been reinstated, and exchange of visits by official delegations have been conducted. All these were inconceivable just a few months ago, before the surprising announcement made by Prime Minister Abiy to accept the terms of the peace deal and pledge to abide by it.
Although the devil is in the details, up to now all the activities that have followed the announcement have created a new spirit not only between the two leaders but also among the two peoples.
The assertion that neither of the two countries can do without the other is true because the trade that can flourish between the two nations would definitely boost their fledgling economies. The usage by Ethiopia of the Eritrean ports will immediately lessen its current burden of having the use of only one port, in neighbouring Djibouti, which is often severely overcrowded and has high demurrage payments that affect the economy. Ethiopia can now use both Massawa and Assab to handle its import-export transactions, and this will provide further oxygen for the economy.
On the domestic front, the achievements of the new prime minister during the last Ethiopian year can also be considered remarkable. There has been tremendous relief on the part of the citizens, who had dreaded that Ethiopia was on the verge of collapse due to ongoing unrest and ethnic or religiously motivated clashes resulting in hundreds of thousands being evicted from their homes and displaced. There were increasing signs of intolerance in various parts of the country inhabited by ethnically mixed populations.
Most blame the outbursts of violence on deliberate, ethnically based policies orchestrated by the previous government, which ruled the country for more than twenty-five years. Many had criticised ethno-linguistic based federalism for being dangerous and leading to chauvinism and interethnic clashes among Ethiopians. Observers of Ethiopian politics for the last three decades have often asserted that the division was intentional to make sure that power never left the hands of the ruling elite, itself arranged on linguistic and ethnic lines.
The new leadership wing that came to power from the same coalition, however, is diametrically opposed to this idea. It has openly stated that only unity of all Ethiopians can lift the nation out of potential chaos and deep poverty, firmly rejecting artificial boundaries or demarcations inside the country.
The new prime minister has openly discredited the past policies not only as a failure but also as dangerous, for encouraging people of various ethnic or religious origins to take up arms against their own compatriots. He has spoken in favour of freedom of expression and movement, as well as the need to be united under one flag, exerting all efforts to resume the disrupted trajectory of economic development.
The prime minister also denounced all those who worked day and night to divide the nation in order to benefit from the resulting troubled waters. He condemned all forms of nationalistic chauvinism and accepted that differences in policies and strategies does not mean that people holding these views should be imprisoned, killed or exiled. He has thus opened up the political space for all political parties as long as they adopt peaceful negotiation methods.
He has formed various committees of experts to discuss and change the special laws that the previous government used to attack and imprison all opposition party members or activists. Everyone, no matter what their ideas may be, is invited to work for the good of the nation. Thus the press law, the civil society law, the anti-terrorism laws are now under close scrutiny.
He has also talked directly to the diaspora, something not done by the government in Addis Ababa for decades. This is a clear departure from the past and no leader had ever taken this step with such a consensus. He has released all political prisoners, asking their forgiveness for all the tribulations and sufferings that the government had inflicted on them.
The fact that he humbly asked for this pardon in front of the Ethiopian people for all the wrongdoings of his party surprised many. He expressed regret that a few people had hijacked the results of the prolonged struggle carried out during the military junta for their own personal gain and glory.
Thousands of prisoners have been released. The premier advocated not only for peace but also for love, forgiveness and unity as the only ways forward. He argues this policy will work not only for Ethiopia but even for the entire sub-region. For this he has obtained the appreciation of the neighbouring leaders such as Eritrean President Isaias Afeworki and Kenyan President Uhuru Kenyatta who publicly endorsed his policies. He has also pushed the South Sudan leaders to reconcile and embrace one another while helping restore peace between Djibouti and Eritrea, earning the appreciation of the UN.
It is evident that the challenges that the country faces in the coming months are enormous and no one has illusions about them. The deep-rooted wrongs, the extensive and systematic corruption fuelled by the arrogance of power, the prolific illegal trade in contraband and foreign currency trafficking have harmed the economy. All these facts were not only admitted by the ruling party, but also condemned and there are now unstinted efforts underway to recover as much as possible.
The country's mega projects turn out to have been a major source of misappropriation. The biggest of all the projects is the flagship construction of the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam, GERD, with billions reported to have been pocketed with scarce accountability. The fact that the project manager was found dead in the centre of Addis Ababa has added even more concern to the dark cloud threatening to engulf the project's completion. Millions have expressed their deep dismay on this issue.
Analysts say the country is really at a crossroads and now is the time that it needs real, visionary leadership to ward off a slide into uncontrollable disruption or economic breakdown.
The celebrations of the Ethiopian new near were personally fronted by the prime minister and his close associates, along with all opposition forces amid expressions of bright hope.
Ethiopia has the opportunity to join the democratic countries of the world, and will never again tolerate any form of aristocracy or totalitarianism, many were heard pronouncing. The mood is now really joyous and the current new Ethiopian year will be crucial in the country's trajectory towards full democracy.

Inauguration Day 2021: "Democracy Has Prevailed"
ABC Legal Services
Yesterday, Joseph R. Biden, Jr. became the 46th President of the United States, and Vice President Kamala D. Harris became the nation's first woman and woman of color to hold that office during a historic 59th presidential inauguration.
Like their predecessors, Biden and Harris took their oaths of office outside the Capitol Building. Vice President Harris was sworn in on the Capitol steps by Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor on a Bible that once belonged to the first African American to serve on the Supreme Court, Thurgood Marshall.
The theme of the scaled down inaugural celebration was "America United," which "reflects the beginning of a new national journey that restores the soul of America, brings the country together, and creates a path to a brighter future," according to an announcement from the Presidential Inaugural Committee.
Like most things during a pandemic, the event looked different than past years with nearly 200,000 flags filling the National Mall in lieu of the thousands of people who couldn't attend due to the coronavirus.
Still, the auspicious day was filled with highlights. The celebration started with an invocation from Father Leo J. O'Donovan, a former Georgetown University president, and the Pledge of Allegiance led by a firefighter from Georgia named Andrea Hall.
Lady Gaga sang the National Anthem, while Jennifer Lopez performed a mash-up of "This Land is Your Land," by Woody Guthrie, "America the Beautiful," a line of the Pledge of Allegiance in Spanish, and "Let's Get Loud" from her 1999 debut album "On the 6."
Garth Brooks sang "Amazing Grace," and the alma maters of Biden and Harris—the University of Delaware and Howard University performed drumlines.
Actress Keke Palmer hosted the first-ever curated livestream for kids before and during the inaugural ceremonies. It was streamed online by the inaugural committee, PBS News Hour and Amazon Prime Video, and also broadcast by Nickelodeon and Discovery Education.
For many though, the star of the show was 22-year old Amanda Gorman from Los Angeles — the youngest inaugural poet in U.S. history, who read her poem "The Hill We Climb," on unity in the U.S.
"We will not march back to what was but move to what shall be, a country that is bruised but whole, benevolent but bold, fierce and free," she said. "Let the globe, if nothing else, say this is true: that even as we grieved, we grew, even as we hurt, we hoped, that even as we tired, we tried, that we'll forever be tied together victorious, not because we will never again know defeat but because we will never again sow division."
President Biden's Inaugural Address followed as he voiced messages of overcoming the coronavirus and unifying the country while celebrating the "triumph" of Democracy.
"We've learned again that democracy is precious. Democracy is fragile. At this hour, my friends, democracy has prevailed," he said. "This is a great nation. We are good people. And over the centuries, through storm and strife, in peace and in war, we've come so far. But we still have far to go."

Do Plantar Fasciitis Socks Work?
As a Physical Therapist, one of the most common questions I hear is this: Do plantar fasciitis socks work?
The short answer: the compression from plantar fasciitis socks can be very beneficial and decrease pain in the short term. It's absolutely fine to try plantar fasciitis socks, but the best results for treating plantar fasciitis happen when my patients start an appropriate stretching and exercise regimen.
Compression stockings are often used to reduce inflammation and to decrease swelling. You may be familiar with a compression stocking that is worn along the lower leg after surgery.
The idea behind using compression socks for plantar fasciitis falls under the same idea. If you provide a constant support through compression socks, the arch of your foot may feel less sore due to decreased inflammation and swelling.
Can I wear plantar fasciitis socks with my shoe inserts?
You can wear plantar fasciitis socks with shoes and custom inserts as long as it feels comfortable. If the socks are too tight or they bother your foot while wearing certain shoes, you should take that as a sign to modify your shoe/sock combination and to identify what is causing the discomfort.
Plantar fasciitis socks are certainly more expensive than a regular pair of socks. But when you compare the typical $12-15 cost of compression socks with a $100 pair of plantar fasciitis shoe inserts, you might find the price to be pretty reasonable.
Are plantar fasciitis socks a good alternative to shoe inserts?
No, you're not going to get the same support from a plantar fasciitis sock as you do with a shoe insert. On the same token, shoe inserts have been found to produce only a short term benefit for plantar fasciitis.
Consider the use of shoe inserts and plantar fasciitis socks as the short term strategies to reduce heel pain caused by plantar fasciitis.
I recommend to my patient to compare the price of plantar fasciitis socks on Amazon first. Here are a few of the highest rated plantar fasciitis socks on Amazon.
There are over 4,500 positive reviews of the Bitly plantar fasciitis sock. They provide a size chart to help you identify the best size sock to order. Be sure to read through the FAQ as there are many people with similar questions who have shared their insights on how the socks have worked for them.
When you read through the hundreds and hundreds of positive reviews on these socks, it's easy to see why the SB Sox are highly rated on Amazon. There are reviews from people with plantar fasciitis, chronic ankle sprains, and people who struggle with swelling after standing all day. These are worth taking a look at.
Strong protection at the ankle and foot helps force balance to prevent twits and sprains caused by excessive forces.
How do I get rid of plantar fasciitis for good?
In my practice as a Physical Therapist, I've treated countless cases of plantar fasciitis. Those who find relief the fastest are open to making changes to their walking habits, exercise and stretching routine, and committing to a systemized plan to improve their overall strength and flexibility.

Discipline In Society Has Fallen Essay
557 words - 3 pages
Discipline in society has fallen
I am proponent of the moot. However, there is some degree of discipline evident in society. Discipline means the willing compliance to social or moral laws. In order words, it is series of commands us to control society. It aims at orderliness obedience and self control. Discipline is the basis of human activity and ensures its success. The absence of discipline would lead to a chaotic society. No society can exist without discipline that is willing to obey the rules and regulations. However, with the escalating crime rate and lawless that is exist in our society, one has agree that discipline in society had indeed fallen.

Government is define as an organization through which political parties operate and manage all affairs for a country. In our society there is a constant blame on government when anything goes wrong. Even when there is an act of God (natural disaster) the government gets blame. Although the government is responsible for the country, we as people have fail to do the same. For example, instead on sitting down waiting the government to find jobs for us, why not create our own. Take for instance, becoming an entrepreneur.
Need to turn to the Church
Our society has the most church per square mile in the world. However, with the continuous increase in crime rate many different strategies have been put forward but little mentioned is made about churches involved mention. In Sunday school we are thought to love one another and to be our brothers' keeper. It these morals are not taught and practice, we will continue down a very gloomy path. Additionally, we are yet to see an aggressive involvement from churches targeting the core issues plaguing society.
Society has no morals.
I am a strong proponent to this statement. Moral is defined as principles of right and wrong or conforming to standards of behavior and character based on those principles. In other word, it is how we judge others. Morals are transfer from the older generation to the younger, which causes a continual cycle. However, with this every rapid growth in technology and innovation, some of the younger generation has opted to divorce themselves from these transferred morals, which is caused by the break down of morals from with the primary society. Although the forma is evident, the wide society still holds strong morals. An example is the culture of society. Every year there is a culture festival that is held remind, sensitize and edify the people of these transfer morals. The culture of a society contains most of its morals.

Coaching inns

Guarding livestock
The return of the draft horse in the 20th century
Coaching inns appeared at the end of Louis XI's reign with the creation of the Chevaucheurs du Roi [King's Riders] service. Located on the first post routes, they formed a network that, until the mid-16th century, was concentrated in the Loire Valley, where the court resided in large part. The Chevaucheurs, who only carried royal correspondence, were thus provided with a place to change horses and rest. While the official service of coaching inns was provided to the public during the reign of Louis XII, it had to wait until the beginning of the 17th century for Henry IV to authorise the transport of private letters, a measure which generated a significant increase in traffic.
Numbering 623 in 1632, coaching inn numbers reached 1,426 in France on the eve of the Revolution and roughly 2,000 in 1850. Indeed, their numbers continued to grow in the first half of the 19th century alongside the densification of the road network. The major routes connecting Paris to the provinces were then complemented by cross-national and cross-regional routes: political and strategic targets were compounded by economic imperatives to open up certain parts of the country.
Established starting in the 15th century, coaching inns formed a network to meet political, strategic and economic needs.
All these inns were run by postmasters whose status was redefined by Louis XIV's minister Louvois: the position, which was coveted due to its related privileges (i.e. exemption from payment of the land tax), had many obligations nonetheless. Accordingly, the postmaster had to reside on site and keep buildings that could accommodate equipment and horses while storing feed, having a sufficient number of horses available, remaining available whenever required (that is, making extraordinary trips for the monarchy) and replacing a nearby colleague in the event of any failure of the latter to his duties. Playing an undeniably important role both in the structuring and planning of national space, coaching inns would see, starting in the second half of the 19th century, competition arising from the railroad, which enabled faster mail and parcel delivery. In 1873, the institution was discontinued.

Syracuse Region Economy Growth Far Outpacing Other Upstate Cities: 2019 Centerstate CEO Data
WAER | By Chris Bolt
publc sector search
Economic data for the last year show the Syracuse economy enjoyed one of its best period of success in a long time. And officials at Centerstate C-E-O that released the numbers hope it has promise for extended growth into the future. President Rob Simpson calls the uptick in jobs and wages remarkable.
"It's one thing for Syracuse and Central New York to be growing our economy. It's another thing to be growing on average at 3.5 times the other Upstate metros. And it's another thing to be growing almost double the New York State growth rate. Syracuse is an outlier in exceptional performance over the course of 2019."
Credit Centerstate CEO
Syracuse job grwoth outpaced - by 2-3 times - that of other Upstate cities and the state average for every month in 2019, between January and October. (click to expand)
The data show that Syracuse enjoyed greater job growth in every month from January through October of last year. Simpson adds it was pretty widespread, with health care and educational services leading the way, but also jobs created in manufacturing and transportation.
Of course after noting that success, the next question is 'why?' Simpson says you have to look back a bit -- 10 to 15 years of investing in innovation that's starting to pay off.
"Yes it comes in our innovative start-up eco-system that we see in places like the tech garden where start-up companies are taking root and getting venture capital. That's a whole new component of our economy that 10 years ago didn't even exist and it now is really driving a significant part of job growth. But it's also innovation in existing businesses."
Simpson gives as an example JMA Wireless in Syracuse, at the leading edge of 5-G technologies, along wiht other businesses making globally-relevant products. He further believes the impact of almost a year's worth of 'beating the averages' on job growth holds promise for longer term Syracuse success.
"Buffalo, Rochester, Albany, each of those metro areas is projected to lose population in the latest census estimates, and Syracuse and Onondaga County are growing our population. The statistic that resonates with me over the last 5 years, is that we've seen a 5.2% increase in our population of people who are age 25-34, in their prime working years. These are people who are primed to have children, buy homes and is a really healthy sign for our Central New York economy."
Simpson has the job of cheer-leading for the region. But he says this data shows that the vision he and other business leaders have been promoting for years is coming true. And he hopes to use that to convince companies that their vision can also come true by staying or moving to the Syracuse region.

The Jacksonville Suns ended the 2012 season with a 3-2 win over the Generals on Monday afternoon at Pringles Park in Jackson, Tennessee. The Suns won the final two games of the series to finish the season 70-70.
The Generals dented the scoreboard in the fourth inning against Suns starter Brian Flynn. After singles by Jesus Sucre and Chih-Hsien Chiang and two stolen bases, Joe Dunigan delivered with a two-out single to put Jackson up 2-0. The team scoring the first run of the game in all five games in the series failed to win.
The Suns took the lead in the top of the fifth with a two-out rally against Generals starter Steve Garrison. Danny Pertusati doubled and scored when Kyle Jensen singled to center to cut the Generals lead to 2-1. Ben Lasater then jumped on the first pitch he saw from Garrison, and smashed a two-run home run over the right field wall to give the Suns a 3-2 advantage. Lasater finished the season with three home runs for the Suns, all in the last 12 games.
Kyle Jensen and Ben Lasater each finished 3-for-4. Jensen drove in his 84th run of the season. The Suns hit a total of 108 home runs during the season, with 69 of them in the second half.
Brian Flynn (3-0) allowed two runs on six hits and struck out five over six innings of work. Jose Alvarez, Grant Dayton, and Sandy Rosario each tossed a scoreless inning. Dayton and Rosario both struck out the side. Suns pitchers combined to strike out 11 batters in the game.
Thank you to all Suns fans for a fantastic season of Jacksonville Suns baseball, and we look forward to seeing you again next year when we will once again hear those magic words…Play Ball!

Suns Stop Generals 4-2

After a 42 minute rain delay, the Jacksonville Suns won their first meeting of the season against the Jackson Generals 4-2 at the Baseball Grounds on Thursday night. Jackson entered the game winners of eight of their last 10 games, and the Generals 37 victories are the most in the Southern League.
The Generals broke the ice in the top of the first inning against Suns starter Omar Poveda. After a lead off single by Denny Almonte and a force out that left Nick Franklin on first base, catcher Jesus Sucre put Jackson on top 1-0 with a RBI single to center field.
The lead lasted for just an inning, with the Suns getting to Generals starting pitcher Taijuan Walker in the home half of the second. After Kyle Skipworth and Paul Gran were retired, Ryan Patterson started a two-out rally with a single. Jose Duarte singled behind him, with Patterson moving to third base and Duarte advancing to second on a throwing error. Designated hitter Curt Smith drove in both base runners with the third straight single in the inning to put the Suns ahead 2-1.
Jacksonville tacked on two more in the third inning against Walker. Chris Gutierrez and Shawn Bowman singled, and Paul Gran walked to load the bases. This season the Suns had been 3-for-9 as a team with the bases loaded, and Ryan Patterson alone was 0-for-5. With two outs, Patterson wasn't denied this time, driving a single to center field with Gutierrez and Bowman scoring to increase the lead to 4-1.
The Generals scored their final run of the night in the sixth inning, a lead off home run by Joe Dunigan against Poveda to cut the lead to 4-2, but that would be the final run of the night. Dunigan's solo blast to left field tied him with Denny Almonte for the Generals team lead with nine round trippers. Jackson leads the Southern League with 46 home runs.
The Suns improved their record to 12-19 at the Baseball Grounds, while the Generals are now 17-14 on the road. Jacksonville is 7-27 when allowing the first run of the game, and Jackson is now 27-7 when crossing the plate first.
The bottom third of the Suns batting order accounted for all the offense in the win, going 7-for-10 with four runs batted in and two runs scored. Ryan Patterson went 3-for-4 with two RBI and a run scored. Curt Smith and Jose Duarte each finished 2-for-3. Smith drove in two and now has 20 runs batted in this season. Duarte recorded his first multi-hit game of the year. The Suns collected nine hits, all singles.
Suns starter Omar Poveda pitched a season-high seven innings to improve his record to 5-2. He allowed two runs on five hits, and struck out a season-high eight batters. Poveda has won two straight decisions for the first time since April, when he started the season 2-0. Kyle Kaminska and A.J. Ramos combined to pitch two innings of scoreless baseball, with Ramos closing the door in the ninth for his third save of the season.
Generals starter Taijuan Walker was hit in his throwing arm when Donnie Webb, the Suns first batter of the game, sent a hard ground ball back up the middle in the first inning. While that may or may not have factored in the 19-year-old's early struggles, he tossed his his second-shortest outing of the season, allowing four runs on six hits in just three innings of work. Walker had allowed a total of 16 runs this season, and Thursday's loss to the Suns was the first time in his 11 starts that he surrendered more than two runs in a game.
Game two of the series is Friday at the Baseball Grounds of Jacksonville with the first pitch scheduled for 7:05PM. In a match up of left handers, Jose Alvarez (1-2, 4.64) will start for the 11th time this season for the Suns. Danny Hultzen (6-3, 1.44) will take the mound for his 12th start of the season. Hultzen ranks first in the league in ERA at 1.44, and he ranks second in strikeouts with 67.

RANGOON — More than 100 armed members of the Burma Army, police and militia were killed in Shan State's Mong Ko during conflict between the Burma Army and joint ethnic armed forces between Nov. 20 and December last year.
The Burma Army held a press conference in Naypyidaw on Tuesday where the military chief of staff Gen Mya Tun Oo said that the fatalities included 74 soldiers (including eight officers), 15 police, 13 militiamen and 13 civilians.
"There was close range fighting. Heavy weapons were shot seven times from as close as Lashio between Nov. 20-30," he said, adding that the attack near the 105th mile border trade zone stopped trade for five days, at a loss of US$90 million.
The joint ethnic armed forces dubbed themselves the Northern Alliance and included the Myanmar National Democratic Alliance Army, Arakan Army, Ta'ang National Liberation Army and the Kachin Independence Army (KIA).
The ethnic armed groups launched an offensive for two weeks primarily in Muse, Kutkai and Hsenwi townships, a move which ethnic armed group representatives have said was in response to previous Burma Army offensives against them, leaving them "no place to hide" and forcing them to militarily confront the Tatmadaw in the regional towns.
"The Northern Alliance wanted to seize Mong Ko as they could easily threaten Sino-Myanmar trade if they took it. Plus, they could block the way for auxiliary troops and provide them a safe haven from airstrikes, as it's close to China," Gen Mya Tun Oo said.
Fighting broke out in Mong Ko when the joint forces took the town for two weeks. The Burma Army ground and air forces were forced to retreat.
The Burma Army used air strikes during clashes in Mong Ko, damaging some buildings—as was witnessed by Irrawaddy reporters—including one church which the army has since rebuilt.
Two pastors from the church were accused of supporting the KIA during the attack and both were detained by the Burma Army after the joint forces left the town.
The two pastors denied the accusations but remain in detention at a police station in Muse where they wait to be charged by the Burma Army.

Cool Schools
Staying safe on the school bus
When your kids head for the bus each morning, you want to know that they will be safe throughout the day. Here are some tips to keep in mind as a new school year gets underway.
Stay visible and walk with care. Parents and guardians should accompany their children to the bus stop, if possible. Make sure kids stay on sidewalks and look both ways before crossing. Kids should never run to catch a bus.
Stay safe at the bus stop. At the bus stop, children should remain alert and stay back at least 10 feet from the bus when it arrives. Kids should wait for the bus to come to a complete stop and for the driver to open the door. Kids should never step out into the road before the bus comes to a stop.
Avoid loose items on backpacks. To ensure kids are safe boarding the bus, remove any hanging key chains or other loose items on backpacks that can get caught on the bus door or handrail.
Follow the rules. On the bus, students should remain seated at all times and keep the aisle clear. Parents and guardians should urge their kids to listen to the driver, follow all safety rules, and be respectful.
Don't distract the driver. Sharon Smith, a 15-year bus driver with the Montour School District in Western Pennsylvania, said on her bus students are not allowed to play music or loud games on their phones or other devices. It can be distracting to the driver and cause conflict when students disagree on music or game choices.
Know what to expect. Bus drivers perform evacuation drills with students in September and March of each year, Smith said. She also encourages parents and guardians to get to know who is part of the "safety team" for the bus. This may include the driver, students, teachers, school administrators, and law enforcement officials.
Ask questions. Your children's bus driver is there to help.

John Lewis formed the Modern Jazz Quartet in 1952 after many years as a pianist and arranger for the Dizzy Gillespie band. For twenty-two years the Modern Jazz Quartet was a significant influence on the contemporary jazz scene. As pianist and music director of the group, John Lewis brought jazz closer to symphonic expression. One of their outstanding albums, In Memoriam, was done with a symphony orchestra. Three Jazz Moods, based on "Three Little Feelings" from that recording, shows the symphonic side of Lewis' compositional skill.
Each theme uses a minor key blues feeling and there is frequent use of complex chords, notably with a flatted fifth. The recording of this work featured a band of trumpet, horn, trombone, baritone, tuba and percussion sections as well as a jazz rhythm section. Featured solos were by Bill Barber (tuba), Jim Buffington (horn), and Miles Davis (trumpet and flugelhorn). The recording was conducted by Gunther Schuller, who was also one of the horn players. The transcription for concert band doen by Peter Philips adds woodwinds to the score, but captures the essence of the original.
Recorded 1993/10/30, William Toland conducting.

The Linux Foundation's Core Infrastructure Initiative Renews Funding for Reproducible Builds Project
Marketwired November 11, 2016, 5:00 PM UTC
SAN FRANCISCO, CA--(Marketwired - November 11, 2016) - The Core Infrastructure Initiative (CII), a project managed by The Linux Foundation that enables technology companies, industry stakeholders and developers to collaboratively identify, fund and improve the security of critical open source projects, today announced continued financial support for the Reproducible Builds Project.
The grant extends the contribution to include Debian developers Chris Lamb, Mattia Rizzolo, Ximin Lao and Vagrant Cascadian, as well as extending funding for Holger Levsen. Furthermore, this contribution adds support for Ed Maste, working with FreeBSD.
While anyone can inspect the source code of free software for malicious flaws, most Linux distributions provide binary (or compiled) packages to end users. The motivation behind "reproducible" builds is to allow verification that no flaws have been introduced during the compilation process by endeavouring that identical binary packages are generated from a given source. This prevents the installation of backdoor-introducing malware on developers' machines as an attacker would need to simultaneously infect all developers attempting to reproduce the build.
"Ensuring that no flaws are introduced during the build process greatly improves software security and control," said Lamb. "Our work has already made significant progress in Debian GNU/Linux, and we are making our tools available for Fedora, Guix, Ubuntu, OpenWrt and other distributions. Support from CII will allow us to expand our efforts to work on longer-term commitments such as upstream patches requiring significant technical and time investment, as well as work on the infrastructure required to make Reproducible Builds both meaningful and approachable for end-users."
Technical advantages of a reproducible build include removing unsafe behavior, such as downloading third-party code from the internet, detecting corrupted build environments, reducing time-to-detection of a build host compromise, as well as numerous other debugging and testing advantages.
Last year CII funded Levsen and Jérémy Bobbio's efforts to eliminate unneeded variations from the build processes of thousands of free software projects. They also delivered new tools to understand the source of these differences and an infrastructure update to allow developers to independently verify the authenticity of binary distributions. Their efforts, combined with those from the rest of the Reproducible Builds Project, have resulted in 91% of the packages within the Debian testing distribution becoming reproducible.
About The Core Infrastructure Initiative
CII is a multimillion-dollar project that funds and supports critical elements of the global information infrastructure. It is organized by The Linux Foundation and supported by Amazon Web Services, Bloomberg, Cisco, Dell, Facebook, Fujitsu, Google, Hitachi, HP, Huawei, IBM, Intel, Microsoft, NetApp, NEC, Qualcomm, RackSpace, salesforce.com, and VMware. Moving beyond funding projects, CII is introducing preemptive tools and programs to help the open source ecosystem and the companies who support it deploy secure coding practices.

As a non-profit organization, the fiscal and legal responsibility of the Waldorf School of Mendocino County lies with the Board of Trustees. However, the Board has many other functions as one of the school's three leadership spheres (along with Faculty and Administration). The link at the bottom of this page provides comprehensive information about the work of our Board.
In our children lies the hope of humanity.
The Waldorf School of Mendocino County is dedicated to cultivating the capacities of each child through a developmentally respectful education, based on the insights of scientist, philosopher, artist and educator, Rudolph Steiner.
We seek to create a model of educational excellence that meets the academic requirement of each child while respecting his or her individuality, higher spiritual nature, and connection to the whole world.
We strive to develop as a community of conscious, caring adults, committed to human development and social awareness.
We determine to be a thriving center for learning, serving the needs of our diverse community and adhering to principals of ecological responsibility in our growth.
FAQs: What does it take to be on the WSMC Board?
I am a native to Willits, Ca. My family and I were introduced to the Waldorf Curriculum through a Waldorf Pre-School in Willits. I was so impressed with the methods and curriculum, I ventured to The Waldorf School of Mendocino County to continue this education with my children. I am a Willits Unified School District Graduate. I found the curriculum to be boring and un-inspired. My husband recently obtained a B.A. in Science and a Teaching Credential for Physical Education from Sonoma State, now teaching at the Willits Unified School District. The contrast in curriculum and teaching methods has never been more apparent to me in his 3rd year of teaching at the public school. The enriched curriculum and understanding of child development through Waldorf education has inspired me to continue with our children here rather than sending them into the public school system. I currently work as a Real Estate Agent serving all of Mendocino County for residential and land sales, and recently obtained my Brokers License.
Since my arrival to the school, our family has been very busy with our own education and development in our careers. We were limited in time and resources to donate to the school in any capacity other than as a parent for the first 6 years. With the recent finishing of many projects and career accomplishments, I find it's important to help serve the school and our community. Currently I've been a Board Member going on 3 years and serve on the Finance Committee, Personal Committee and was Interim Board Chair. Should parents and community members choose an education that is inspirational and nourishes the mind, body and soul of the children and families, we will be here! I encourage conversations and ideas of growth and community building for our sweet school.
My name is Jami O'Connor and I have been on the board for about 2 years. We have been a part of the WSMC family for 9 years. My daughter Sophie started here when she was 4 in preschool. She is now at St. Mary's in the 7th grade (her wonderful class had to close last year). She had an amazing time here and has a great foundation of learning and being a very attentive student to take her in the rest of her life. My youngest daughter is in Ms. Austin's 5th/6th grade class. We really look forward to her graduating from this school! The reason why I joined the board was to know more about the decision making process and doing what I could to make sure this school thrives. I am also on the development committee and play a large part in the Enchanted Pumpkin Path and our annual gala. Professionally I have been practicing acupuncture/whole food consultantion on and off for the past 7 years.
I was born and raised in Northern California and have lived in Ukiah for 17 years. I have worked in private industry from grocery stores to Silicon Valley startups all the way to large, established corporations. I have a B.S. in Business Administration that I completed while working full time. Although my degree is in business, I have been an artist, designer and builder since I was a child. I have always had a love of learning and continue to teach myself new skills. I currently work at a Ukiah e-commerce company and design/purchase/manage manufactured parts we sell through dealers and directly to end users. My daughter is in Class 2/3 after being in WSMC Kindergarten for two years.
While looking for ways to volunteer at WSMC, I was invited to sit in on a board meeting to see if it would be something I might be interested in. After a couple of meetings, I felt I could use my small business experience and entrepreneurial spirit to help the school. I also enjoy problem-solving and am willing to help find creative ways to help the school succeed, not only for my daughter, but for generations to come.
I like serving on the Board because I really enjoy problem-solving in groups. While meeting with the other boards members, admin staff and faculty, I have a chance to listen, learn and give my input. We then have the opportunity to make decisions that can help our school both grow and thrive.
I grew up in Willits and one thing that has had a large impact on me from my childhood is living in a tipi with my mother and brother for 4 years while we built our house. This created the foundation for my love of nature and solidified my enthusiasm for sustainable living. For college, I attended UCSC and studied sustainable agriculture and green-building design with a focus in compost and compost heat recovery. I then completed the North American Biodynamic Apprenticeship Program (NABDAP) between 2014-2016 at Rudolf Steiner College and Sweetness Farm. This started my work with my mother and brother at Sweetness Farm and Emerald Spirit Botanicals.
I teach games at River Oak Charter School and am a consultant for biodynamic and organic agriculture. I love my work because I get to connect with nature everyday and experience the changes of the seasons. I also love engaging with people and having a positive influence on our younger generations.
I appreciate WSMC because it strives to create a safe, creative and nurturing environment for children to listen to their hearts and minds and develop the skills necessary to be caring and creative members of our community. Being a member of the WSMC Board helps me support this school and the larger anthroposophical community in my area. I know that waldorf education can have many positive impacts on children during their schooling years and I want to support this school to offer a fulfilling and empowering education for the children of our community.

Spring is the school's Administrator. You can read her bio here.
My parents were both in the Army, so my early childhood was spent all over. I was born in Virginia, which is where my parents were stationed at the time that they subsequently adopted me. From there, it was off to Japan, then Germany. We arrived back to the mainland to live in Valdosta, Georgia (where my dad is from) for a year and then drove cross-county, in my moms gold minivan, to California, where I have lived ever since.
After graduating from Ukiah Highschool in 2007, I went to Mendocino Junior College, where I graduated in 2010. From there, I transferred to UC Davis and graduated with a BA in Political Science. I am currently attending Empire School of Law with the hopes of obtaining my JD and becoming an attorney.
Currently I am working as a Law Clerk at a law firm in Ukiah. While it is one of the most challenging things I have ever done (of course nothing eclipses parenting), it is an amazing experience in which I am able to get my feet wet in the realm of law. It definitely helps that the people I work with are the best at what they do, and I couldn't think of a better place to be employed.
I found I wanted to be a member of the board at WSMC so that I could give back to the school I have grown to care so much about. Seeing the impact that the school has had on my child in such a short time, inspired me to want to help and give back in any way I could.
The thing I appreciate the most about WSMC is the community that it attracts and the people associated with the school. Everyone is dedicated to making the children under their care the best possible little person they can be. That impact along is something that lasts a lifetime and is essential to the growth and advancement of our society.

Oakridge Centre Redevelopment—A bold new vision for a bold, new community
The Oakridge Mall was first built in 1959. Today, it is an aging mixed-use behemoth situated on some of the most valuable land in Canada.
Developers Ivanhoe Cambridge and Westbank have proposed a daring new plan to unlock that value and turn the Oakridge area into a major centre, similar to the hubs that have sprouted up around Brentwood, Lougheed and Metrotown in Burnaby.
The plan, which was approved by Vancouver City Council in March 2014, will see the entire 28-acre area redeveloped, with 14 towers between 9 and 44 storeys.
The amount of retail space will more than double. Look for over 1.3 million sq ft of shopping and services, including an open-concept 'High Street" that will blend new retail, restaurants and services with outdoor spaces and more. New, big-name anchor tenants are also promised.

Developer Team for Redeveloping Oakridge Centre
The Oakridge Redevelopment is being developed by Ivanhoe Cambridge and Westbank. They've been going the process for years, presenting a far less grand plan back in 2007. The runaway success of the Canada Line spurred another plan; this grand, hyper-ambitious redevelopment.
Ivanhoe Cambridge is a multi-billion dollar developer with assets in Canada, the US, Europe, Brazil and Asia.
Westbank is a major force in Lower Mainland real estate. Shaw Tower, Shangri-La and Woodwards are just some of the jewels they've developed.
Henriquez Partners Architects have the considerable task of designing the many buildings and spaces that will make up this project. They're behind 6th and Fir in Vancouver and 60 West Cordova in the Downtown Eastside.
Expected Completion for Oakridge Redevelopment Condos
The Oakridge redevelopment will be a long term, multi-phase project. The first residential and commercial areas should be open by 2019, with the remaining building slated for 2024.

Censornet / Press / CensorNet named a Finalist for the 2017 Red Herring Top 100
CensorNet named a Finalist for the 2017 Red Herring Top 100
CensorNet, the complete cloud security company, today announced it has been selected as a finalist for Red Herring's Top 100 Europe award, a prestigious list honoring the year's most promising private technology ventures from the European business region.
The Red Herring editorial team selected the most innovative companies from a pool of hundreds from across Europe. The nominees are evaluated on 20 main quantitative and qualitative criterion, which include disruptive impact, market footprint, proof of concept, financial performance, technology innovation, social value, quality of management, execution of strategy, and integration into their respective industries.
This unique assessment of potential is complemented by a review of the track record and standing of a company, which allows Red Herring to see past the "buzz" and make the list a valuable instrument for discovering and advocating the greatest business opportunities in the industry.
"Businesses across the world are facing an uphill battle against cyber threat. Whether it's employees accidently clicking the wrong link or a malicious hacker trying to steal data, there are threats at every turn," said Ed Macnair, CEO of CensorNet. "CensorNet has committed itself to enabling businesses to protect themselves against threats and, for that reason, we're very excited to be recognised by Red Herring as one of the most promising technology ventures in Europe. This recognition supports our continued mission to develop technology sophisticated enough to withstand pressure from those who continually seek access."
"This year was rewarding, beyond all expectations" said Alex Vieux, publisher and CEO of Red Herring. "There are many great companies generating really innovative and disruptive products in Europe. We had a very difficult time narrowing the pool and selecting the finalists. CensorNet shows great promise and therefore deserves to be among the finalists. Now we're faced with the difficult task of selecting the Top 100 winners of Red Herring Europe. We know that the 2017 crop will grow into some amazing companies that are sure to make an impact."
Finalists for the 2017 edition of the Red Herring 100 Europe award are selected based upon their technological innovation, management strength, market size, investor record, customer acquisition, and financial health. During the months leading up to the announcement, Red Herring reviewed over 1200 companies in the telecommunications, security, cloud, software, hardware, biotech, mobile and other industries that completed their submissions to qualify for the award.
The finalists are invited to present their winning strategies at the Red Herring Europe Forum in Amsterdam, April 24- 26, 2017. The Top 100 winners will be announced at a special awards ceremony on the evening of April 26 at the event.


It's time to dump the negative view of New Brunswick's role in Canadian history, says British professor Ged Martin.
Martin will deliver the University of New Brunswick's (UNB) annual W. Stewart MacNutt lecture on Sept. 29 in Fredericton and Sept. 30 in Saint John.
"Too many textbooks sneeringly portray Canadian history as something that happens to New Brunswick," jokes Martin.
He argues that New Brunswick played a vital and positive role at key moments in the creation of Canadian Confederation in the mid-1860s.
"It was New Brunswick politicians who ensured that the September 1864 Charlottetown Conference endorsed the wider union of British North America, not the smaller scheme of Maritime Union pushed by the Nova Scotians."
Martin accepts that New Brunswick voters held up the movement for Confederation by voting for "Anti" candidates at the 1865 provincial election, but he argues that the vote was neither a landslide, nor a final rejection of union with Ontario and Quebec.
"There were good reasons why New Brunswickers were wary about signing a blank cheque in 1865," Martin points out, insisting that the province's response has been misunderstood.
"Just as happened with the Meech Lake Accord after 1987, New Brunswick became a symbolic battleground on which wider issues had to be debated and resolved."
Martin claims that New Brunswick's greatest contribution to the making of modern Canada came not before July 1, 1867, but immediately afterwards.
"Nova Scotians swung violently against the idea of being governed from Ottawa, but few historians have noted the importance of New Brunswick's refusal to support them," he explains.
"Had the two mainland Maritime provinces jointly demanded to get out of Canada, the fragile new country might have broken up. But New Brunswickers had too much sense to get involved."
Martin hints that the story of what happened -- and didn't happen -- in 1868 contains some big surprises.
Ged Martin is a graduate of Cambridge where he is an honorary fellow of the University's oldest graduate college, Hughes Hall. He held the UK's first chair of Canadian studies, at Edinburgh University in Scotland. He now lives in Ireland.
The 2014 W. Stewart MacNutt lecture will be delivered at UNB Fredericton's Alfred G. Bailey Auditorium (Tilley Hall, room 102) on Monday, Sept. 29 at 5:30.
The lecture will also be delivered at UNB Saint John on Tuesday, Sept. 30 at 5:30 in Oland Hall room 104. The event forms part of UNB Saint John's fiftieth anniversary commemorations.
The W. Stewart MacNutt lecture is delivered each year in memory of the former history professor and dean who is honoured as one of the founders of the study of New Brunswick history.


Lord and Lady Bearsted made Upton House and Gardens their home in 1927 where they set about making their own made-to-measure country house. Upton is a long low house built of local yellow sandstone, and has gone through numerous changes in its appearance from the interior to the exterior. Walking down the winding driveway, up the steps, and through the large heavy door is such an unforgettable experience.
Upton House has been restored to how it looked in the 1930s but unlike other private homes, Upton is presented more like an art gallery than a home. There is an art collection on one floor, a preserved art deco bathroom on another, a corridor featuring a collection of early Shell advertising posters, and a personal library. The variety of collections on show is what makes Upton House so enjoyable to explore.
The main attraction at Upton are the gardens. A lawn sweeps down from the house lined with huge cedar trees and herbaceous borders, taking you down to a large lake with water lilies and a terraced garden nearby containing the National Collection of Aster. The winding path down to and around the gardens is steep and hilly with lots of steps.
Upton House and Gardens are a real treat to visit, particularly in summer but just as wonderful in autumn. The gardens are full of beautiful flowers and enticing foliages, and the house is a delight to explore. You could spend hours here, exploring the land and taking in the atmosphere of the stately home - and we gladly did.

Mullingar Advertiser
Troy calls Minister "ignorant" as home improvement grants to Westmeath cut by half
by Finian Coghlan Mullingar Advertiser, Fri, Mar 08, 2013
There was a common refrain of dismay voiced this week with the news that private house grants issued by Westmeath County Council are to be cut by over a half.
This was revealed towards the end of the Housing SPC meeting in the County Buildings on Monday (March 4 ) by the council's head of finance, Jimmy Dalton.
Westmeath had just under €1m (€988,155 ) to allocate for home improvement in 2012, but this is to be cut back to €435,722 for 2013 as just another slice of imposed austerity.
The grants, which are 80 per cent funded by central Government, are used primarily to assist the elderly and the disabled make home improvements in order to make life a little easier, and 160 of them were issued in 2012 at an average of €6,200.
Extension grants, though not as sizeable, have been reduced by a similar percentage from €96,239 to €46,571.
It is believed the severity of the cut may be down to the fact that the council did not draw down its entire allocation for 2012.
In a letter from the Minister for Housing, Jan O'Sullivan to Cllr Mick Dollard last week she pointed out that of the €790,524 allocated from her office to Westmeath (80 per cent of the €988,155 ), just over €38,000 remained uncollected.
"No additional funding for private housing grants was sought by Westmeath County Council from the Department during 2012," the letter stated.
Longford-Westmeath Fianna Fáil TD Robert Troy expressed his shock at the announcement.
"I have sought and received a special debate with Labour Minister Jan O'Sullivan about the cuts. These are extremely callous cuts and the Minister is ignorant to the real need of the elderly and disabled residents of Westmeath. The schemes have proven to be extremely worthwhile projects, keeping people with disabilities and elderly citizens out of long-term care and saving the State millions," said Deputy Troy.
"Many people in Westmeath with disabilities and in receipt of pensions are in real need of funding and depend on the grant. Now their homes will fall below the required standards to receive the private homes grants, which for many will be devastating," said his second co-optee, Cllr Avril Whitney.
