PoS validator turns down IRS tax refund offer, pushes for clear policy on staking taxation
The Tezos validator who took the IRS to court argues that staking rewards should be treated as created property rather than income.
A United States couple suing the federal tax agency over Tezos (XTZ) staking rewards taxation chose to forego a tactical victory and engage in a court battle that could eventually result in policy change.
Joshua and Jessica Jarrett, who run a node on the Tezos network (thus "baking" new blocks, in the ecosystem's lingo), have sued the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) over the taxes paid on the XTZ tokens created in 2019. The Jarretts filed a refund claim on upwards of $3,000 paid on the tokens, which the IRS ignored.
The fundamental point of contention underlying the lawsuit is the classification of staking rewards as either taxable income or created property, which is not taxed until it is sold. The Tezos bakers argue that earning coins by staking is akin to baking a cake or writing a book, and thus these coins should not be treated as taxable income.
Related: Crypto staking rewards and their unfair taxation in the US
On Thursday, Joshua Jarrett released a statement that the U.S. Government has offered a refund of the taxes in question as part of the settlement. Jarett said that "At first glance, this seemed like great news," but he later realized that without a court ruling, there would be nothing to prevent the tax service from taxing his staking rewards again. Jarrett said:
A year and a half into this process, the government didn't want to defend the position that the tokens I created through staking were taxable income. […] I need a better answer. So I refused the government's offer to pay me a refund.
Jarrett's statement further indicates that his ultimate goal is to get the IRS to clarify its position on taxing staking and block rewards "for both proof-of-stake and proof-of-work" systems. He maintained that, while no guidance exists on this matter, the tax authority's concession in his case could be interpreted as support for the position that staking rewards are not taxable income.
Reid Yager, former staffer at the industry advocacy group Proof of Stake Alliance (POSA), stated:
The decision by the IRS and DOJ to offer a refund without taking steps to correct poor policy places American businesses and American innovation at risk.
A subsequent court ruling on whether staking rewards are taxable income or not will likely become a critical juncture for the PoS industry.

Enjoy having a second home ski property at a fraction of the cost of full ownership. As the price for premier properties rise in ski resort communities more second home buyers are finding fractional ownership makes the most sense. The Park City Utah area offers several different options for fractional ownership at either Deer Valley Resort, Park City Mountain Resort or the Canyons Resort. Fractional ownership opportunities typically are either 1/4, 1/6 or 1/8th deeded interests in the Park City area.
If you have a flexible schedule and do not need to travel on holidays for your ski vacations, then fractional ownership may work for you. Some of the fractional ownership properties also allow you to place your unused days in a nightly rental pool to get extra income to help offset some of your expenses.

My Futile Search for Great Tex-Mex Ribs
One man's strange, quixotic journey from New Braunfels to Longview.
By Daniel Vaughn

It was getting dark when I headed south out of Austin. Houston was my destination for the night, but I'd gotten a tip about the ribs at Dos Rios, a Tex-Mex restaurant in New Braunfels. It was a heck of a detour, but I was getting desperate. I'd been searching the state, following leads from strangers, to find a great rack of Tex-Mex ribs. After seven restaurants, and just as many disappointments, I held on to hope as tightly as I gripped my steering wheel on Interstate 35 during rush hour. Driving through New Braunfels, I passed the massive Bavarian murals painted on the building that houses the annual Wurstfest. The sight spurred a moment of clarity. I was forced to face the fact that my logic had been blinded by my mission. How else to explain that I somehow still honestly anticipated that I might discover a revelatory rack of ribs at a Tex-Mex restaurant in this most German of Texas towns? I'd lost it.
Yet, some days later, I was back at it again. I'd heard good things about an Austin Tex-Mex joint with beef ribs on the menu. I was encouraged to learn that the ribs aren't done until one o'clock, so are not available to the lunch crowd. They must take their time with the ribs, I thought. I planned a visit, even though I'd already complained to my editor that this quest was fruitless. He advised that I should cut my losses on the time and money I'd already spent to find a sizzling plancha of pork perfection. But I couldn't help myself from wanting a baby-back-shaped bow with which to tie up this article. So I rationalized. After all, I only had two stops remaining, out of the ten on my list.
The reward for my persistence? A plate that would make any pitmaster shudder landed on my table. A six-bone rack of beef back ribs had been cut in half, steamed to tenderness, and stacked on the plate without so much as a leaf of lettuce for garnish. No seasoning was visible on the meat, which was only a shade of gray darker than the bones. I reached for the chips and pushed the plate away to avoid the steamy aroma of boiled beef. A photo of this sad plate might elicit sympathy from a casual observer, but my editor knew better. "The fault is mine for continuing the search," I texted along with a photo. "Yep, your own fault," he replied.

Really though, I blame Michael Sambrooks. After a meal at his Houston Tex-Mex restaurant Candente, I talked with Sambrooks about the smoked ribs I had enjoyed there. They were glazed with a chipotle barbecue sauce and garnished with cilantro and cotija cheese. When asked about the inspiration for those ribs, he said, "The Tex-Mex ribs are kind of a play on, you know, those ribs you always get at the Tex-Mex places." I interrupted him. I had never ordered ribs at a Tex-Mex place. He mentioned the tender, saucy ribs at places like Lupe Tortilla and Pappasito's. I was curious, and as a food writer always looking for a new angle on barbecue, I took the bait. A week later I waited for my order of ribs at the original Ninfa's in Houston while munching on warm tortilla chips and sipping a margarita.
Like at most Tex-Mex restaurants that serve ribs, at Ninfa's they're available as an add-on to a fajita platter. It costs $12 to add six baby back ribs, and the server let me order them a la carte. With the chips, salsa, and warm tortillas, it seemed like a great deal. The ribs were fine, but nothing more. Chopped cilantro and a spiced-up barbecue sauce coated their back side. The meat side was resting on a bed of onions and peppers on the sizzling platter. Pulling the rib meat into a tortilla with a little hot sauce was the way to go. The ribs had spent most of their cooking time in an oven and didn't have much flavor on their own, but the presentation was made for Instagram.
The top-shelf margarita was better across the street at El Tiempo. The server looked confused when I ordered the ribs, which weren't exactly hidden on the menu. She retreated to the kitchen, certain that the cooks would tell her they no longer serve them. Maybe nobody orders the ribs at El Tiempo, but they do make them. Sadly, the best part about them was the side cup of garlic butter that was great on the tortillas.
The best deal on ribs is at Pappasito's. During lunch, an uncut half rack of Sito's baby back ribs with rice and beans is $13.95, and they're a dollar less on Fridays. The ribs actually looked like they'd been finished over a flame. At Lupe Tortilla, the ribs are cut individually, coated in chipotle barbecue sauce, and laid onto a hot plancha along with beef and chicken fajitas. The sauce caramelizes or burns depending on how long you let them sizzle.

Many of the ribs I tried were described as smoked. At Papacita's in Longview (not to be mistaken for the Houston-based chain Pappasito's), the "Mesquite Smoked Ribs" are described as having been "slow cooked over wood" on the menu. The only way there's any truth to that is if the oven they're steamed in sits on a wood floor. At Uncle Julio's, a full rack of baby back ribs at least tasted like smoke. They were honestly the best of the bunch, which is not to be taken as a recommendation. I'm not saying they were bad, but I think every plate of ribs I sampled would disappoint barbecue lovers who have expectations about what smoked ribs should taste like.

Where to Eat Barbecue in Fort Worth
I embarked upon this search knowing that none of these restaurants specialized in ribs. I wasn't looking for Top 50 contenders, but I thought it would be like ranking the best glam-rock ballads of the late eighties and early nineties. You wouldn't buy the album for just that song, but you wouldn't skip the track either. The "November Rain" of Tex-Mex ribs was the goal. Heck, I would have settled for Cinderella's "Coming Home" ribs, but toward the end I knew I'd be lucky to find something akin to White Lion's "When the Children Cry." I guess the real lesson is that barbecue should just be left to the pitmasters. That was the message I got from Valentina's in Austin when just this past weekend they seemed to taunt me with an Instagram photo of their new Tex-Mex rib platter. It was missing the plancha, but the ribs had at least seen the inside of a smoker.
I get that it seems obvious that Tex-Mex restaurants aren't the best place to eat ribs and that driving to Longview with optimism that East Tex-Mex would provide the big payoff in this story seems naive. But it also reflects how I got started searching out the state's best barbecue. After my first trip to Louie Mueller Barbecue back in 2006, I thought if I just tried every joint in the Dallas–Fort Worth area (about 180 at the time), I would find that one hidden gem on Louie Mueller's level that everyone else had somehow missed. I had no more success then than I had on this search for ribs. Maybe Sambrooks knew what the outcome would be all along—all part of his plot to use my curiosity against me and prove that the ribs at Candente are that much better than the competition.
There are still some lessons to be shared from my efforts. First, if you want to take a chance on Tex-Mex ribs, my advice is to get them as part of a fajita platter, because if the ribs are bad, at least you'll have fajitas. Also, I made sure to sample a top-shelf margarita at each restaurant (on the rocks with salt) to have something else to compare from place to place and to dull the potential sting of another bad rib. If I don't share my top four here, the folks in accounting might not approve my latest expense report, so here they are:
Pappasito's Reserva made with Corazón Reposado, Grand Marnier, agave nectar. $11.95
Dos Rios Rita made with Dos Rios Reposado, Cointreau, simple syrup, lime juice. $11.00
Uncle Julio's Patrón Classic made with Patrón Silver, Patrón Citrónge, lime juice. $11.99
Lupe Tortilla Perfect Margarita made with Demetrio Lowland Tequila, simple syrup, lime juice. $11.50
I can't believe I'm doing this, but if you encounter that elusive platter of incredible Tex-Mex ribs somewhere in Texas, let me know. I may yet be bull-headed enough to give them a try.

—Shocking Brief Letter - a must read for everyone
By Robertiu on Mon, 11/25/2013 - 23:17
[Below is a shocking letter I received today from a gentleman who writes to me a time or two a year. I have no reason to believe he made this up, and therefore, I certainly believe it to be true. Cocky, brazen Chutzpah. May God reward them soon.]
Dear Pastor Balaicius:
I want to share with you something that happened to me the other day. I still have difficulty believing the incident as I replay it in my mind. Sometimes, though rarely, the enemy allows his mask to fall and one can see him plainly for what he is.
I was passing through a retail district of downtown San Francisco on my way from the gym and noticed a sign on a storefront that read "Store of the Jewish Museum of Modern History." Curiosity got the better of me and I entered the establishment. I wanted to see how the Jews were representing themselves to the general public. This establishment wasn't the actual museum but the retail store for the museum that sold merchandise related to Jewish history and culture. Upon entering I immediately noticed a line of shoppers waiting to get past a security desk, which was manned by a Jewish security guard wearing badge as well as beanie. Before entering, shoppers were required to empty their pockets into a plastic tray, which was passed through a metal detector. They also had to walk through a large metal detector like you see at airports. Shoppers also had to leave backpacks, bags, boxes, etc. with the guard until they left.
I thought this was a bit extreme, so when I got up to the guard I asked him what all the security was about. "Just precautions," he said, his eyes cagily focusing on me.
"Well, I don't want to go through all this hassle just to browse the store," I said and turned back toward the exit. I looked back at the guard in mid-motion and continued off handedly, "What are you worried about anyway?"
The Jewish guard paused, watching me with hooded eyes as I neared the door. "The Jewish people are not worried about anything," he spoke under his breath. "We have already defeated you."
I froze right there, halfway out the door. Mind you, I looked like an ordinary American shopper. There were a lot of us there. I gave him no reason to make such an unusual comment. The entire episode seemed completely pedestrian until the Jew's parting words.
I walked back up to him, "why did you say that; what's that supposed to mean?" I asked. His eyes peered at me silently for a moment. Then I noticed a twinge of worry, as though he realized he had made a potentially serious mistake with a careless slip of the tongue. "Oh, it was nothing," he waved me away bruskly, "forget about it, it didn't mean anything." I stared at him. He didn't blink. I couldn't believe what he so bald-facedly said. The audacity of this Jew to look at a European-American and baldly admit that they -the Jews- consider us enemies and have defeated us in our own nation.
All that stuff about democracy, equality, freedom, the free market, the rule of law, that the Jews are forever running their mouths off about are just so many pretenses, which conceal the reality that they are at war with us.
Reflecting on this episode, I realize he must somehow have been able to identify me as an Anglo-American. He just seemed to automatically know this. I didn't say anything. He said, "You are already defeated." He automatically identified me and registered me as the enemy.
The Jews know how to recognize their own as well as those who are not. It is shocking when all the stuff one reads about and believes in finally confronts one openly and directly. It was as though I were shocked to discover that what I believe is true after all.
[After I emailed this to my email list, one person emailed back and said that this gentleman should have replied, "You have not defeated us, you have defeated them—pointing to the people stupid enough to be browsing the store.
However, had it not been for all the security, he would have been browsing the store out of curiosity, to see what vile propaganda was there, though prob. everyone else was there to support the wonderful Jews who have done so much for the neighborhood and nation. Also, if he had said the Jews have defeated all those in the store, that would have also proved the Jews' point, since those mindless drones in the store buying books and trinkets far outweigh the one person who chose not to enter the gates of Hell. Also, sometimes it is best to play dumb and curious.]

Group home employee medevac'd after being assaulted by resident

No weapons were involved in the assault and the incident is currently under investigation by the Newark Police Department Criminal Investigations Division.
NEWARK (DE) BY DIGITAL STAFF: A Caregiver, who was assaulted was given a ride to the hospital in a Delaware State Police Aviation chopper Thursday according to Newark Police.
Police say around 8:45 a.m. officers were summoned to a group home in the 200 block of Vassar Drive for a report of an assault. Officers arrived at the scene and found a caregiver had been assaulted by a resident at the home.
"The female caregiver was transported to an area hospital by Delaware State Police helicopter for treatment of her injuries. She is in stable condition.," Said police spokesman Andrew Rubin.
Rubin said the client (resident) was also transported to an area hospital for evaluation.
It's unknown why the caregiver was flown with minor injuries by a state police helicopter as Newark has a pretty strong volunteer fire company with multiple ambulances.
A Delaware Newsline reporter reached out to Newark Police but by the time of publishing this story they have not yet responded to our request.

In 2009, Peter Matic (founder and president of The Didge Circle) and Henning Gerlt, discussed establishing an annual didgeridoo festival in Melbourne, to raise awareness for this special instrument and Aboriginal culture in general.
They approached the late Colin McKinnon-Dodd, manager of Aboriginal gallery Mia Mia in Westerfolds Park, Templestowe.
The proposed festival was endorsed by the local Wurundjeri people and the traditional custodians of the yidaki (didgeridoo), the Yolngu people of North East Arnhem Land. The 2010 Melbourne Didgeridoo Festival was held on Mia Mia Gallery's grounds.
The festival has since been organised by a small committee of highly passionate volunteers. It has moved from Westerfolds Park to Warrandyte, then to its current location at Finns Reserve, Lower Templestowe.
The festival enjoys ongoing support from its major sponsor, Manningham City Council.
Many special people have contributed in advisory and mentoring capacities, including Colin McKinnon-Dodd, Guan Lim, Andy Davern, Jeffrey Pratt and, particularly, the late Bruce Rogers.
The Melbourne Didgeridoo & Cultural Festival has featured numerous local artists and world class performers, among them Si Mullumby, Goompi, Gumaroy Newman, Andrew Langford, Ganga Giri, Mark Atkins, Richard Perso, Wild Marmalade, Bruce Rogers, Bundjalung Kunjiel, Bunna Lawrie and Bart Willoughby.
Get ready for an amazing lineup of artists – and a few surprises – at the 2018 Melbourne Didgeridoo and Cultural Festival.
This project was supported by Manningham City Council's Community Grant Program.


I think like most of us the only way this link will affect me is in the pocket by way of extra taxation. Myself I can't see the need for it, how can getting something moved around the country make it cheaper. In my opinion it can only make it more expensive because they are bound to charge more for freight and passengers. Its like the estimated cost of building it and providing it. Over the last few months I have watched it go from £17 billion to £33 billion and it now stands at £44 billion, it just has to be at £100 billion by the time they start work.
All that aside Mike it is a very good site for those people that it will affect, so thanks for pointing it out.
Considering the ever rising cost of Copper it may become unaffordable by the time it gets started.
Why is that SB, does copper play some sort of part in the the make up of this high speed rail ?
Yes Phil the cabling gets more expensive and they will use miles of it.
Sorry about that Volty & SB, I thought you pair were joined at the hip anyway. Is it going to be Electric then this high speed link? The batteries won't last very long then will they?
Volty's after the job as the Fat Controller.
Mike I have just been looking at the Chelmsley Wood section of your map posting. It makes you think of what has happened in the past. how many Villages, Towns, Houses, Farms, Markets etc have disappeared over time. Considering land acquisitions for Canals, Railways, Roads not to Mention Motorways and Harbours etc for coastal towns and Villages.
Yes, I see what you are getting at SB, but the towns, villages etc were themselves the cause of something disappearing when they were built. I seem to remember reading that , other than a few place like the tops of mountains, there is nowhere in the uk that has not been changed by man.
That's true Mike, things evolve and change everyday. What's wrong is the lack of respect and thought for the people affected. Take this rail link.
An awful lot of very intelligent people can't even see the need for it.
Come on people you can't argue against change or else we would all still be living in caves. However I do agree that a little more respect for the environment could be given and I don't mean change the route of a motorway or rail line because some chinless wonder sitting in his country pile doesn't want it passing by within a mile of his garden.
I would argue against change. Especially when change is for it's own sake.
In the case of the HSR I think there should be a lot of business trickle down from it and ultimately it could end up going somewhere useful. So I'm not against it.
What concerns me is the travelling involved to get to one of it's stations, which by it's very nature will be few and far between. Add that to the normal train journey and there may not be a geat time saving if you only go to Londinium. The re-use of Curzon Street as a station could be exciting.

COVID-19: Disability advocates plead for support of immunocompromised
Home/COVID-19: Disability advocates plead for support of immunocompromised
BBGadvocates BCTV news burnaby coquitlam COVID19 CTV BC CTV Morning Live ctv news CTVBC delta disability Fraser Valley immunocompromised langley metro vancouver News news Vancouver North Shore plead richmond support surrey tri-cities Vancouver news
As the number of COVID-19 infections continues to grow, employers are increasingly taking steps to encourage and facilitate working from home, which health officials and disability advocates say is critical to "flattening the curve" of infections.
The City of Vancouver is now taking steps so that more employees can work from home, while tech companies from smaller Vancouver startups to big multi-national companies like Google and Apple are either encouraging or outright demanding employees stay at home to work.
Those measures to curb the spread of infections at the urging of health officials are coming as a relief to immunocompromised members of the community who worry people forget it's not just seniors at risk of serious illness and death if they contract COVID-19.
"One of scary things about living with rheumatoid arthritis is that one of the main causes of death for patients is respiratory disease," said disability advocate Eileen Davidson. "I've started to limit how much I'm going out. I'm carrying extra hand sanitizer and starting to stockpile a little bit of food and supplies that I know that I will need and my son will need if things do get bad."
The Burnaby mother says going to doctors' appointments in Vancouver with public transit have become a stressful experience, especially since her weak joints mean she's constantly grabbing at railings and surfaces to steady herself when she wobbles.
"It makes me really think, 'did I clean my hands properly after I touched the hand rail there or when I touched the elevator in my doctor's office?' The thoughts just keep multiplying and I can see why a lot people are getting anxious about it because we can control what we touch, but we can't control what other people have touched," she said.
New government support for sick employees
The federal government announced a $1-billion COVID-19 aid package on Wednesday, including eliminating the wait time for employment insurance payments, among other measures. A statement from the prime minister's office added, "We are exploring additional measures to support other affected Canadians, including income support for those who are not eligible for EI sickness benefits."
Canada's top doctor said keeping sick people away from the workplace is a key measure in the fight against COVID-19 infections.
"The majority of cases, if we look around the world, are actually in working-age adults and so business continuity and work planning using these scenarios are very important," said Tam. "That's why the supports for people to do what local public health is asking them to do is just so important."
Flattening the curve
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau acknowledged that at this point officials are just hoping to curb the rate of infections so they don't overwhelm doctors and hospitals with severe cases.
"We know that what is extremely important right now is that every Canadian does their part to arrest the spread of this virus, to slow the infection curve we're seeing elsewhere around the world," said Trudeau, referring to the surge of infections seen in places like Italy, which are flooding hospitals with severe infections that outstrip the medical resources available, like ventilators.
"We know that by keeping a slow pace for the spread of the virus we will avoid over-burdening our health care system and more people getting the illness, so we need to make sure everyone is given the tools they need — whether it's figuring out how to stay home from work and work from home…whether it's making smart decisions around shaking fewer hands, washing your hands more often."


You might have read my article recently on moving from breast to bottle, you can find yourself trying all sorts of bottle types when you are trying to make the switch.
Many look the same and make the same claims, but really it is just about establishing what works best for your little one.
Once your baby is a pro with a bottle though, you might be thinking about the types of bottles that are the most practical and that means for you and your child.
One company who have been really proactive in listening to what parents want is Twistshake.
Twistshake has been described as 'the next generation baby bottle'.
One of the biggest advantages of these I think are the gorgeous array of colours. Despite breastfeeding all the children, having stopped at 14 months with our youngest, we have ended up with two children now having milk from a bottle as neither are interested in a cup. For families with children close in age or multiples, bottles of different vibrant colours could be really helpful in keeping track of whose is whose. They also look very appealing to little ones…"Mummy I need the big blue bottle!". The three different size options are brilliant as well, especially the larger one if you have a milk guzzler!
If you use formula then you might be interested in the integral powder pot, but this can also be used as a snack pot, which is what we found it handy for.
What do you think? Quite different aren't they?
Twistshake won the Baby Product of the year 2015 award in Sweden, Innovation Award 2016 in Belgium and the Canadian parenting magazine The Baby Spot recently chose Twistshake as the bottle of the year 2016.
We can't wait to see what else they come up with!
They are brilliant, hope they come up with more good products.
I know – me too!
We had one of these for our nephew to try recently and they are just amazing. The blue one is my fave colour but I just love everything about them!
I know – me too, wish these had been around years ago!
Oh they look like a good idea. We used the special "comfort" milk for my eldest and it's thicker and harder to mix, wish these were available at the time, they would have been great!


Video - today's must have!
Most people would rather just comfortably WATCH and LISTEN instead of reading.
The biggest search engines are Google, YouTube (!!!)....and then Bing.
We use YouTube more than social networks.
World: 1.000.000.000 YouTube watching hours every day!!!
World: 5.000.000.000 watched YouTube videos every day !!!
World: 1.300.000.000 YouTube registered users.
More than 300 hours of videos uploaded to YouTube every minute !!!
Visitors age: 25 - 54 years: 65% = users of YouTube. So?
Right at this moment, clients are searching on YouTube.
(... and they found your competitors, whether you like it or not).
Do you have your video presentation?
How to get a video?
Fact: making a video is very affordable.
in few simple steps (depending on what kind of video would you like to do).
Who will be our public? The video is for ...?
How do you want to help them?
Following are 4 main questions (which are actually important for ANY promotion).
The most common is question 1, maybe 2 and only sometimes 3 and 4.
Just take a magazine and observe yourself while browsing.
When we know the answers to all 4 questions, we can start preparing to make a video.
Write the screenplay (a simple story is best).
Write the text (story) and then record the audio ('B' roll).
Maybe animate something (for a better presentation).
Edit all together, like it is in the screenplay, and improve it.
The most important thing is to answer the 4 questions (above).
Do this first. We will give you all other details and instructions at the meeting.
The first answer is: IT IS VERY AFFORDABLE. Of course, this can be a broad question, almost like asking: "How much does a car cost?"
It can definitely be calculated or at least very well evaluated.
In short: making a video could as little as € 100 per video.
It can be $ 1.000 or more but that is rare. In most cases it is something in between, depending on how many of the above-mentioned things are done.
But: if you have a series of videos (let's say a products from a product line, each video can be very, very affordable.
The most expensive option (even costing $10,000s) is to NOT have videos.
It is true, people do not like when a sales person is trying to convince them to buy something. They'd rather watch a video presentation of products and services (even if you use the exact same words...). Plus, the videos are 'working for you', when you, the sales person, are not in the office, but at home or even sleeping. Video presentations are the best and most effective sales persons you can afford.
Videos can be posted on your YouTube channel, on your website, Facebook, Twitter, Google+, Linkedin,... everywhere!
Remember: the younger generation is looking at their smartphones. They read less and less. This has already been happening for several years and it is growing.
How are they going to find you? Unfortunately, they will not even notice the shop they are walking past - because they are walking with their smartphones.
How much does a video cost? Can you afford to not have one them?

Waste management has become a priority along the years, with major milestones paving the way for household waste separation and collection. The latest is the separation of organic waste. Most of this is food.
Food wastage accounts for 52.1 per cent of municipal solid waste in the Maltese Islands. In accordance with a study carried out by Daniel Vella ( https://www.um.edu.mt/library/oar/handle/123456789/22105 ) in 2016, leftovers, fresh vegetables, unused vegetables, rotting vegetables and bread are the most commonly wasted foods. The reasons for food waste were a result of too much cooking, unused leftovers and unused food in the fridge or freezer.
This incurred a direct cost to the individual. The study calculated that, on average, people spent €75 per week on food, equating to €3,900/year/household. From this, food wasted per week cost €7, which equates to €364/year/household. Food waste prevention goes hand in hand with waste management and efforts to tackle this issue need to be stepped up.
Food waste is also an important matter for health reasons. Over-consumption of food is a waste. In fact, very often, it is described as metabolic food waste. Consuming more food than the body's nutritional requirements uses valuable food system resources and results in being overweight and obese.
The study indicated wastage from expired foods. Many of these are processed packaged foods. Such foods pose a threat to our environment and also promote obesity.
Most people do not realise how much food they throw away every day. However, with the separation scheme in place, people will start to realise how much food we actually waste. By managing food sustainably and reducing waste we can help businesses and individuals save money, provide support in our communities for those who do not have enough to eat and conserve food resources for future generations.
Every year, around the globe, 1.3 billion tonnes of food are lost or wasted, that is one third of the food produced for human consumption. Food is lost or wasted throughout the supply chain, from initial production down to final household consumption. Internationally, the Food and Agriculture Organisation of the United Nations has partnered with UN agencies, other international organisations and worldwide stakeholders, including the private sector and civil society, to promote a 'Save Food' approach. This works within the international framework of the Sustainable Development Goals and the Zero Hunger Challenge.
Everyone can play a part in reducing household waste and in the preparation of healthier meals.
Plan the week: Make a list with weekly meals in mind so you can save money and time and eat healthier food. If you buy only what you expect to use, you will be more likely to keep it fresh, use it all and not end up eating excess food or wasting it. The amount of food bought needs to take into consideration if you plan to eat out. Include quantities on your shopping list, noting how many meals you'll make with each item to avoid overbuying, especially for perishable items. Check your refrigerator, freezer and cupboards first to avoid buying food you already have. Best to make a list each week of what needs to be used up and plan upcoming meals around it.
Storage: Fruits and vegetables are easily perishable, so it's best to check various storage methods. Any surplus, especially when there is abundant produce, can be stored in freezer. Many fruits release natural gases as they ripen, making other nearby fruits spoil faster. Store bananas, apples and tomatoes on their own, and store fruits and vegetables in different containers.
Preparation: Perishable foods need to be prepared and stored soon after shopping. With limited time during the week, it can be a good idea to wash, dry, chop, dice, slice and place your fresh food items in storage containers for snacks and easy cooking. Any leftover foods which will not be eaten can be frozen. Some foods such as bread and sliced fruit can be frozen to be eaten at a later stage.
Christmas time often ends up with a kitchen full of leftovers. These can be easily put to good use. Leftovers can be mixed with minimal effort to create a meal that is good for breakfast, lunch or dinner. Leftovers can go in a sandwich, leftover pieces of turkey can be combined with beans to make a tasty and healthy stew, leftover vegetables can be combined into a salad or soup, leftover bread can make a delicious apple pudding and literally any leftovers can make a good frittata. Be creative and combine leftovers for tasty, healthy meals saving food, money and time.
Given the cost of food waste and obesity to both the economy and the individual, the impact on people's health and on our planet, reducing food waste can address the two major issues facing humanity today.

'Preserve, revitalize and promote' indigenous languages, or lose a 'wealth of traditional knowledge', UN chief says
Photo: Dmitry Kharakka-Zaitsev
"Izhor" Indigenous people in Russia keep they language and traditions.
9 August 2019 Culture and Education
Secretary-General António Guterres underscored the urgency to "preserve, revitalize and promote indigenous languages" in his message for the International Day of the World's Indigenous Peoples, celebrated on Friday.
"Languages are how we communicate, and they are inextricably linked to our cultures, histories and identity", the UN chief said, noting that 2019 also marks the International Year of Indigenous Languages.
Indigenous languages are disappearing at an alarming rate, each one taking with it a cultural and intellectual heritage.We must protect languages under threat of extinction. #IndigenousDay pic.twitter.com/GaHSKc6OKN
António Guterres, UN Secretary-General
antonioguterres
He pointed out that almost half of the world's estimated 6,700 languages, which are mostly indigenous, risk extinction. "With every language that disappears, the world loses a wealth of traditional knowledge" said Mr. Guterres.
Noting that a significant proportion of the estimated 370 million indigenous people in the world today "still lack basic rights, with systematic discrimination and exclusion continuing to threaten ways of life, cultures and identities", the UN chief stressed that this contradicts the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples and the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, "with its promise to leave no one behind".
Offering the UN's support to realize "the rights and aspirations of indigenous peoples", the Secretary-General concluded: "I count on Member States to engage and support indigenous peoples in determining their own development through policies that are inclusive, equitable and accessible".
Education 'pivotal'
As part of this year's commemoration, the UN organized an event at its Headquarters in New York featuring expert panels and innovators on indigenous languages and technology. But it opened with a ceremonial call to order by Chief Howard Thompson of the United States' Mohawk Nation.
"People listen for a few moments", he said. "This is our way when we gather anywhere to give thanks".
He began by first acknowledging that everyone had "arrived safely and are healthy" before giving thanks to Mother Earth, Grandmother Moon, the stars and the creator, saying "we give thanks daily because it may not be here tomorrow".
When Deputy Secretary-General Amina J. Mohammed took the podium, she zeroed-in on the "pivotal role" of education for indigenous people to "enjoy and preserve their culture and identity.
"Intercultural and multi-lingual education are necessary to prevent irreparable loss", she said. "Failure to provide multilingual and inter-cultural education puts indigenous peoples at a disadvantage, threatening their very survival".
Ms. Mohammed accentuated that more must be done to enable indigenous languages to flourish, "so we may retain the wealth of knowledge and cultures that are part of the world's rich diversity".
"On this International Day, let us reaffirm our commitment to work together to realize the rights of indigenous peoples", she concluded.
Symbols of identity
Through a video message, General Assembly President María Fernanda Espinosa called indigenous people "the bearers of millenary knowledge systems" where ancient and distinct languages are central.
UN Headquarters in New York celebrates the 2019 International Day of the World's Indigenous People, which is being dedicated to indigenous peoples' languages. (9 August 2019), by UN News/Elizabeth Scaffidi
More than a means of communication, they also provide "unique ways to see and understand the world" she stated. "They are symbols of identity and belonging; they are vehicles of values to transmit culture and connecting the indigenous peoples with nature".
And these languages are all vulnerable, many "seriously endangered" or "on the brink of extinction", according to Ms. Espinosa. "Others, unfortunately, have already been lost forever, taking the wisdom of their peoples with them", she lamented.
Painting a picture of indigenous languages as "a priceless heritage and a vehicle of ancestral knowledge" on culture, medicine and astronomy , which is "vital to reach the goals of the 2030 Agenda", she stressed that "we must defend" their rights and respect their way of life as it is "closely linked to the survival of their languages".
Linking biological and cultural diversity
For her part, Cristiana Paşca Palmer, Secretariat chief of the Convention on Biological Diversity, highlighted that although they constitute a relatively small part of the world's population, indigenous people represent "the largest portion of linguistic and cultural diversity on Earth and their traditional lands and waters overwhelmingly contain the greatest remaining reserves of biodiversity".
She maintained that the International Day draws attention to their powerful contribution to preserving biodiversity: "It allows us to tell the story of how these communities…have been stewards of biodiversity for millennia, responsible for preserving and even increasing biodiversity through their traditional management practices", she acknowledged.
The colourful tapestry of life is fading like watercolours in the rain -- Cristiana Paşca Palmer
Linking biological and cultural diversity, she spelled out that the resilience of human communities and ecosystems are under "grave threat".
"The colourful tapestry of life is fading like watercolours in the rain", she bemoaned. "The loss of indigenous, traditional and local languages is closely related to biodiversity loss".
Moreover, she stated that their local and traditional communities' languages are "representative of diverse world views, value systems and cultural expressions".
"Let us commit ourselves to restoring indigenous languages as the vibrant colours of the tapestry of life", she urged.
In closing, Ms. Palmer emphasized the "centrality of traditional and indigenous languages in strengthening the links between biological and cultural diversity for attaining the global 2050 vision of humanity living in harmony with nature".

Podcast: Episode 5 - Movement
In episode five of the National Museums Liverpool Podcast, Jane Garvey introduces stories on movement, each with their own unique link to the museums and Liverpool.
Anthony Walker Foundation
The unprovoked racially motivated murder of Liverpool teenager Anthony Walker is one of the most shocking incidents in Merseyside's history. His family, including mum Gee Walker were determined that Anthony's death was not just a statistic and set about creating an anti-racism movement with the Anthony Walker Foundation. The AWF's most recent campaign is Speak Out Stop Hate and aims to encourage everyone to report hate crime, be it through the foundation or policing channels.
In this story we talk to Ben Osu, Strategy Lead at the foundation about how Anthony's family set about moving on the conversation about racism in Britain through educational programmes and facilitating better, easier reporting and support.

Wilson the Rope Figure
The Seized! gallery, which sits inside the Maritime Museum, displays the National Border Force Museum collection. Curator Steve Butler and Learning and Participation Manager Sarah Han talk about a recent addition to their handling collection called Wilson, a small rope toy figure created by a Border Force officer. Wilson is given to children on immigrant ships to try to break down barriers and make human connections, as these frightened people are confronted by huge British ships and uniformed officers.

cond in the world, accounting for around 2.18 percent of its GDP, while emerging strategic industries, the
sharing economy and other new growth engines are also seeing continuous expansion.
The strong leadership of the Communist Party of China and the solid material and technological foundation built through decad
es of rapid development in the era of reform and opening-up will also help shore up economic growth, he said.
He added that China also has enormous resilience, potential and flexibility in developm

According to the administration, the mechanism can switch the on-duty satellite to a quick-scan mode focusing on areas required by users when they are hit by disasters.
"During disasters, Fengyun satellites can scan as often as every five or six minutes. The China Meteo
rological Administration could send users cloud images and products via satellites and public clouds," Wei said.
For example, in March, China provided a remote-sensing monitor repo
rt on flooding in Iran via Fengyun. The analysis estimated the coverage and ter
rain characteristics of the flooded area, which greatly assisted the country's evacuation efforts.
China has launched 17 Fengyun series meteorological satellites, of which seven are currently operational.
The World Meteorological Organization has included China's Fengyun serie
s of meteorological satellites as a major element of its global Earth observation system.
In the past several months, China has announced and
started to implement a "negative list" program that allows foreign co
mpanies to have 100 percent ownership in investments in all areas of the economy, excep
t for a small number of areas, such as telecoms and defense, that are explicitly prohibited.
Also, foreign investment has been simplified by creating a one-stop regulatory shop and a single application process.
These new policies will lead to greater competition within China, forcing C
hina's companies to become more efficient and to produce higher quality products.
The Chinese government has also recently announced tax cuts and financial regulations desi
gned to help private companies. This will hasten the ongoing transition to a market-driven economy.
Most Chinese State-owned enterprises are not relevant to trade negotiations. Many are in non-tradable sectors such as p
roperty development, infrastructure, or concrete. Others are basically public utilities in telecoms or power.

The overall stability of China-US relations over the pa
four decades has been a blessing to not only our two countries, but the whole world," said Cui Ti
ankai, Chinese ambassador to the US, in his remarks during the awards presentation.
"And the essence of the 40-year story is amity between the peoples, which lays the foundation for
and shapes the future of our relations," he said, adding that the stories shared by peoples from the two cou
ntries through the My China Album series will always "be a source of inspiration and motivation for us".
Hundreds of US citizens participated in the series from Feb 6 to April 19, sharing their personal stories about China thro
