Jordan says Israel's new airport violates kingdom's airspace, territorial integrity
Ramon Airport, located near the Red Sea resort city of Eilat in Israel, was inaugurated by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Monday. The new Israeli airport sits just across the border from Jordan's King Hussein International Airport in the Red Sea port city of Aqaba. "Jordan rejects the establishment of the Israeli airport in its current location," the head of Jordan's Civil Aviation Regulatory Commission, Haitham Misto, said, adding that the airport violated "international standards regarding respect for the sovereignty of airspace and territory of other countries." Misto also said that Jordan had notified the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) of "the kingdom's strong objection." The official said Amman had called on the ICAO to "take all necessary measures to ensure that Israel complies with international standards." Misto said the committee had contacted the Israeli authorities and "informed them that the decision to operate the airport should not be taken unilaterally until all outstanding matters are resolved." Jordan "reserves all options to ensure the defense of the kingdom's interests and protection," he added. Jordanian media also said the kingdom's authorities had lodged a complaint with international bodies over the Israeli airport, without giving further details. Jordan initially voiced its objection to Ramon Airport when the construction began in 2013. Speaking at the opening ceremony on Monday, Netanyahu said the $500 million facility would serve as an emergency alternative to Tel Aviv's Ben-Gurion airport. "The airport will be a focal point of activity, with domestic and international flights. It will give us further strategic capabilities in times of normal activity and when needed, in times of emergency," he said. "It will give Israel another civilian airfield so that aviation routes will not be harmed." The airport's website says it will be able to initially handle up to two million passengers per year but will expand to a capacity of 4.2 million by 2030. Israel and Jordan have maintained diplomatic relations since they signed a peace deal in 1994. However, many Jordanians strongly oppose Amman's ties with Tel Aviv. Last month, Jordan's minister for media affairs and communications and government spokesperson stepped on an Israeli flag painted on the floor of the trade union headquarters in Amman while on her way for a meeting.

Mihoko Kumamoto tapped as first Japanese head of UNITAR Hiroshima Office
by Dai Nakajima, Staff Writer
The Hiroshima Office of the United Nations Institute for Training and Research (UNITAR), located in Naka Ward, announced on December 6 that Mihoko Kumamoto, 44, has been nominated to take over the top post. Ms. Kumamoto, currently a senior advisor to the Indonesia Office of the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), will begin her new role in late January, becoming the first Japanese head of the UNITAR Hiroshima Office. The position has been vacant since October 2012.
Ms. Kumamoto was born in Fukuoka Prefecture and obtained her Master's degree in economic development from Columbia University in the United States. After working at the Kyushu Electric Power Company, she joined the UNDP in 2001, an organization which provides technical and development assistance to developing countries, and served at its Vietnam Office and at its headquarters in New York.
UNITAR offers trainings to diplomats and others from member states of the United Nations. The Hiroshima Office of UNITAR was founded in 2003 and has pursued capacity building, particularly in the field of peace building, and conducted various training programs, including efforts to support the post-conflict reconstruction of Afghanistan. The first director of the Hiroshima Office was Nassrine Azimi, a Swiss citizen, who was succeeded by Alexander Mejia, originally from Ecuador. As the nominee to succeed Mr. Mejia was unable to take office due to personal circumstances, the post has been vacant since October of last year.

Guardian Early Learning – Caringbah is a beautiful child care and early learning centre in Caringbah, NSW. We provide long day care in a secure and modern setting where young children are nurtured through our nursery, toddler, kinder and preschool programs by our exceedingly caring and professional educators.
Children at Caringbah have open access to bright, custom-designed spaces, structures and experiences with plenty of room for growing, inquisitive and energetic bodies to play, relax or quietly explore.
Our Caringbah centre offers a range of experiences through our childcare program that we believe are important for any child's development in their early years. Our curriculum is modeled on the National Early Learning Years Framework which recognises the incredible value of investing in the first five years of a child's life and the vital role that educators play in developing the whole child.
My name is Peta Kiellor, and I am excited to have moved into the Centre Manager role here at Guardian Caringbah.
I began my journey into Early Childhood Education in 2012 by completing my traineeship. Since then, I have moved through the positions of room leader, Educational Leader, and Assistant Centre Manager here at Caringbah which I held from May 2016 until my appointment as Centre Manager in March 2018.
I currently hold my Diploma of Early Childhood Education and Care and have just finished preparation units for my Bachelor of Education (Early Childhood) with plans to begin my degree in July 2018. I have also recently completed my Diploma of Leadership and Management, and hold full first aid, asthma & anaphylaxis, and CPR qualifications, as well as current child protection. In my spare time, I am mum to a wonderful little girl and enjoy volunteering with the NSW Rural Fire Service, where I hold Advanced Firefighter Qualifications.
My philosophy includes viewing children as capable, competent and committed individuals who are learning and creating an emerging understanding of our ever-changing world. My beliefs align with the theories of Urie Bronfenbrenner and Jean Piaget, supporting children to create links to their existing worlds in order to learn and grow. I believe children should be active and passionate participants in the emergence of their own learning environments, active contributors to the educational programs of the room, and be deeply involved in reflecting on their own learning.
As Loris Malaguzzi suggests, "Children need the freedom to appreciate the infinite resources of their hands and their eyes".
Dedicated Educators, an Octo-pram and a Creepy Crawly!

As Nepal are set to play their fifth round matches of the ICC World Cricket League Championship against Kenya at home, cricketingnepal.com brings you leading run scorer for Nepal in the eight-team tournament so far.
Captain Paras Khadka tops the list with 352 runs having played eight innings in eight previous matches. He has got one century to his name so far which came against Namibia at home, while he also has three half centuries.
One of the most in-form batsmen in this tournament Sharad Vesawkar is second in the list with 294 runs. Sharad, who has three half centuries, is yet to make his century in List A matches for Nepal.
Vice-captain and opening batsman Gyanendra Malla is still struggling to make big score for Nepal and has made 186 runs in eight matches. Gyanendra has been getting good start but is yet to capitalize them.His biggest score so far is 39.


Munich - Matchday 3 served up its fair share of drama, including a handful of audacious strikes from some of the Bundesliga's finest.
Of those, it was Arjen Robben's delectable solo effort that sent the replay button into overdrive, with the bundesliga.com readers accordingly voting the FC Bayern Munich flier their standout player of the weekend.
The winger raced over the finish line in more ways then one, beating three defenders and slotting past Raphael Schäfer in Bayern's 2-0 derby victory over 1. FC Nürnberg, before collecting 48 per cent of our weekly poll for good measure.
Joining Robben on the podium is Robert Lewandowski, who helped himself to his second Bundesliga goal of the new campaign in Borussia Dortmund's hard-fought 1-0 success over Werder Bremen. The Poland international's trademark strike garnered 26 per cent of the vote.
Bayer 04 Leverkusen's hero of the hour Sidney Sam sneaks in at third (13 per cent), after scoring twice and chipping with an assist in the Rhine derby win over Borussia Mönchengladbach. The 25-year-old is enjoying a new lease of life this season and it certainly shows, with some whirlwind displays even managing to catch the eye of Germany head coach Joachim Löw.
That brings us neatly onto the nearly rans. Nicolai Müller's emphatic breakaway goal against VfL Wolfsburg was deemed worthy of only seven per cent of the vote, with Hannover 96 striker Mame Diouf (four per cent) and Hertha Berlin match-winner Adrian Ramos (two per cent) bringing up the rear.


We're so happy for our wonderful clients at Museum of Design Atlanta who just won a gold and bronze Addy Award for our work with them on the bathroom design exhibit and the Graphic Intervention Exhibit on international AIDS posters.
Our work, for the AIDS exhibit won a gold and our "duck bombing" stunt for the bathroom exhibit took home a bronze. These both come in the Atlanta regional show, but can now move on to the national competition. There's a lot of Atlanta advertising agencies for companies to work with so we're happy our clients work was recognized. What may be just as cool as these awards though, is that the case study video we created about the duck bombing stunt is already being studied in schools as far away as Germany.

Questions With: Hilary Maiberger of "Beauty and the Beast" On Captain America, Crafts, and Junk Food
The lovely Hilary Maiberger arrives in Dallas on Monday to don that famous yellow gown as Belle. In the meantime, we got her opinions on attractive superheroes, ways to pass the time, and burritos.
By Kristen Taylor Published in Arts & Entertainment April 11, 2014 9:10 am
Hilary Maiberger didn't go to school intending to wear that famous yellow dress. In fact, after attending San Diego State University, she got a master's degree in Vocal Performance from Bowling Green State University to become a teacher.
"I wanted to know everything about the voice and how it works," she says.
While living in Southern California, she heard that NETworks Presentations was holding auditions in New York for someone to play Belle. She sent in a video submission and was asked to fly in for final callbacks.
"The rest," she says, "is history."
From there, the cast had two weeks of rehearsals in New York, followed by almost 500 shows in 18 months. Maiberger and her cast mates will get to Dallas Monday evening for the first show on the 15th.
FrontRow: I've heard that Belle is your "dream role." Is there anything in particular about her that really strikes a chord with you?
Hilary Maiberger: Belle was always my favorite Disney princess growing up. I remember seeing the show when I was ten years old, and leaning over to my mom, saying, "Mom, I want to be Belle one day!" It's always had a special place in my heart—the film and the character. It's truly a dream come true.
When the movie came out, I just liked her because I thought she looked like me, with brown eyes and brown hair. As I grew older, I realized she was very modern for her time. She's not your average Disney princess. She's really smart, and she wants adventure. She's not a damsel-in-distress; she's not looking for a man. Her relationship with her dad is just so special to me, too, because I have a really great relationship with my dad. She's a very modern young woman for the time the movie came out, and I think that's why it's still so popular today.
FR: How about your favorite non-Disney character?
HM: Oh man, just like, anyone?
FR: It's all on you. Whoever you want to pick.
FR: Right now, I'm in love with Sherlock Holmes, played by Benedict Cumberbatch. I also recently just saw Captain America: A Winter Soldier, and Chris Adams—is that his name?—I'm in love. He's just brilliant.
FR: He's also quite good-looking, which doesn't hurt.
HM: Definitely good-looking.
FR: Describe your perfect day off.
HM: Oh my gosh. No travel, at all. On a beach, somewhere eating junk food, just basically being in one place with my friends, no plans, and living in the moment. It'd be carefree and we wouldn't have to worry about time or needing to be somewhere. That would be the perfect day off. I need one.
FR: Speaking of junk food: if you could only eat one meal forever, what would it be?
HM: It would be some kind of burrito, let's just say beans, rice, and cheese. I love all those things. I eat like a twelve-year old boy.
FR: What was the last thing you geeked out about?
HM: Oh my gosh, what was the last thing I geeked out about? I did geek out about Captain America a little bit, definitely got into that whole Marvel stuff for a while. There was a time, I think last week, where I watched Monsters University every single day. I also geek out about crafting. I make homemade birthday cards for my fellow cast members. It started out as a few sheets of paper, and now I have a giant craft bag, full of paper, glue, glitter… it's definitely gotten out a control a little bit, but it's a lot of fun; it makes the time go by.
FR: What's your favorite place in the world?
HM: Well, traveling all the time, I feel like my favorite place in the world is home. I don't get to be home, so whether it be Redwinds, where I live now, or San Diego, where I went to school, I would definitely say just being home is my favorite place in the world.
FR: Rock, paper or scissors?
HM: I've never been asked that before! Cool! I feel like I'd go with scissors, but I have no idea why. Maybe because I like the shape or maybe because I'm a crafter? I usually pick scissors, and I lose all the time.

Bushfire Royal Commission missed opportunity to make polluters pay for climate damage like the 2019-20 bushfires
© Kiran Ridley / Greenpeace
Today, the Australian Government released the final report from the Bushfire Royal Commission. The almost 600-page document contains 80 key recommendations on how to manage the ongoing threat of bushfires.
The report contains a number of worthwhile proposals. It acknowledges the central role of climate change in supercharging last summer's fires and warns that more extreme weather events are likely to occur throughout Australia in the future due to global heating.
But there is also, at least one glaring omission. While the report says that "direct and indirect disaster costs in Australia are projected to increase from an average of $18.2 billion per year to $39 billion per year by 2050, even without accounting for climate change". It fails to recommend that the big polluters who have exacerbated climate change should pay for the damage caused by extreme weather events.
Sydney-siders continue to choke on hazardous air pollution with catastrophic bushfire smoke blanketing large parts of NSW and making Sydney the 11th most polluted city in the world.
Greenpeace volunteers in the Sydney CBD handed out dust masks as air pollution levels soared to levels 10-25 times higher than World Health Organisation guidelines, with authorities warning residents to remain indoors and avoid strenuous physical activity.
Greenpeace is calling for the country's biggest polluters to pay for climate disasters like the 2019-20 bushfires, through a levy.
Sign the petition to Make Polluters Pay
A levy on coal, oil and gas exports of just $12 per tonne, the price of a sandwich, would go some way to repairing the damage routinely wrought by fires and floods.
NSW North Coast resident and bushfire survivor Melinda Plesman, who took the remains of her bushfire-destroyed home to Parliament during the 2019-20 fires, said she was frustrated that the companies that had contributed to the climate crisis were allowed to continue damaging the environment with impunity.
"Almost a year ago, I lost my home to the worst fires Australia has ever endured. I took the burnt remains of my home to Parliament to send a message to Scott Morrison about the impacts of his Government's support of the coal industry.
"Since my home was destroyed in the fires, the PM has gone from cheerleading coal to aggressively promoting polluting gas, while virtually nothing has been done to accelerate the transition to clean energy sources like wind and solar."
Polling undertaken for The Australia Institute found that 65 percent of Australians support the introduction of a fossil fuel levy to pay for climate change impacts.
And it's not surprising when we look at how widespread the impact of the fires were. The bushfires that swept across the nation in late 2019 and early 2020 torched more than 17 million hectares of land, destroyed more than 3,000 homes, and claimed 33 lives. The heavy smoke that permeated our lungs, causing acute respiratory issues, contributed a further 417 deaths.
As a nation, the fires opened our eyes to the wrath of climate change. Hotter, drier conditions – a clear manifestation of climate change – led to the mega blazes that obliterated 21 percent of Australian bushland. And we have all been warned to expect similar and even worsening conditions in the future.
In one way or another, almost 80 percent of Australians were impacted by the bushfires; 57 percent were physically affected by the smoke that blanketed some of our capital cities for weeks.
This was more evidence that we are already living with the often fatal impacts of climate change and it makes sense for the companies that have contributed to the problem to make a contribution to dealing with it.
But we need to go even further. Cleaning up after disasters is vital but we need to strive for a situation where catastrophes are not routine. The first step must be rapidly replacing our ageing and unreliable coal-burning power stations with clean energy sources like wind and solar, backed up by storage.
A move that would be supported by more than 8 in 10 Australians, who per cent support the closure of coal-fired power stations, according to the Climate of the Nation survey.
© Kim Nguyen / Greenpeace | To mark the Bushfire Royal Commission handing down its final recommendations, Greenpeace Australia activists have projected images of bushfire survivors onto the surface of Vales Point Power Station in the Hunter Valley with the message "Coal Fuels Fires".
A couple of nights ago, we beamed a powerful message from bushfire survivors onto a tower at the dirty and polluting Vales Point power station in the NSW Hunter Valley. As the government considers the Bushfire Royal Commission's final report, we want the message of bushfire survivors to be as clear as our projection on that coal-burning power station in the dark of night: 'Coal Fuels Fires'.
© Kim Nguyen / Greenpeace
Today, we stand with the residents and community leaders impacted by the fires, and we echo their demands for greater climate action.
We owe it to survivors as well as future generations.

In Search of History
Published on July 24, 2018 July 24, 2018 by Kathy Lauren Miller
The key lesson of the 20th century is that democracy is far more fragile than we might think.
Prior to WWII, fascist ideas were increasingly accepted. The energetic growth of Nazi organizations spread across America in the 1930's. This appeal of fascists ideas were held by such prominent citizens as Henry Ford and Charles Lindbergh, who went so far as to praise Hitler.
At the time, Jews served the same role as immigrants and minorities do today. It was believed that Jews posed threats that were undermining America's greatness. In 1942 a Gallup poll showed that a growing number of Americans thought Hitler was doing the "right thing" to Jews. This is similar to what many Americans think about what Trump is doing to immigrants and foreign minorities today: "the right thing". While secure borders are critical to our national security, we need to keep in mind those who are seeking a safe haven by border crossing. These people need humane treatment not imprisonment. There are times when doing what seems "the right thing" is actually a slippery slope toward the undermining of our democracy. Is our 'Shining Hill' becoming a tarnished one?

Next This Is Democracy?

What an amazing look into history and is history repeating itself by President Trump's dereliction of his oath of office to protect democracy?
Reblogged this on K. D. Dowdall and commented:
Kathy Lauren says:
Hi Karen, thanks for the reblog. When will the rest of the country wake up?
Randy Sherow says:
Our 'Shining Hill' has already become tarnished to the point of undermining our Democracy. And it's up to those of us who believe in the words of Emma Lazarus, inscribed on a plaque on the base of our Statue of Liberty, to fight to win it back. The trumps, the mcconnels and the ryans of this great nation must be forced back under the rocks and into the crevices from which they've crawled out. Your analogy of the plight of the Jews in the past to that of foreign immigrants of today who are yearning to be free, is true and accurate. It's just so very sad and unfortunate that it must exist to be examined. RESIST! OBSTRUCT! OBJECT! PROTEST! And, above all, VOTE!
Hi Randy, good points. It's a sad commentary on those who still support this president. Vote! and get as many people as we can to do the same.

Resist the things that are underlying all this border strife.
Absolutely. We need affordable health care and programs to help all of these affected persons.
There is more than one way to secure a border…we used to do it by creating solid and trustworthy friends who would share in our protection. At the rate we are making enemies and being proud to do so, we are gonna need an ever bigger wall…and now potential friends are going to want some insurance before committing to us. Job well done…enjoy.
HI KC, Oh so very true…we are in a dangeous place and our democracy hangs in the balance.
Yes, our friendships with other countries is paramount in maintaining our good will and our democracy. Thank your for your insightful comment.
Thank you for this wonderful post Kathy!!! I hope you change many mindsets!
Sadly, Daniela, the mindsets of which you speak, cannot be changed because they are immune to critical thought. Those minds must be ignored while we focus on registering and bringing the majority of liberal minds to the polls in November. Liberals are, unquestionably, in the great majority, but they also, for some unexplainable reason, do not vote in large numbers. Ensure that every Liberal friend, acquaintance, or family member gets to the polls to cast their ballot for Blue legislators on every level of government. That's the only hope for the continuation of our Democratic Republic in the form provided for by our Founding Fathers and that will provide for life, liberty, happiness and domestic tranquility for all of our citizens.
Hi Daniela, thank you. I'll keep trying. It seems to me that so many people are unaware of our history and the battles we have undertaken to maintain our democracy. As the proverbial saying goes: Those who do not remember or understand history, are condemned to repeat it…

Architectural Digest Names The Dallas Arboretum One of the "World's Most Breathtaking Gardens to Visit This Season"
File this one under "News Locals Already Knew But Outsiders Are Just Catching Onto". I want to give my friends at the Dallas Arboretum a slow clap for being recognized by Architectural Digest as one of the world's most Breathtaking Botanical Gardens To Visit This Season. "Whether you're interested in seeing rare flowers, relaxing in a gorgeous green space, or finding ideas for your own summer garden, you'll find what you're looking for at these celebrated botanical gardens around the world," says the international architecture and design publication. It goes on to describe the Dallas Arboretum and Botanical Gardens as a "66-acre haven for thriving ferns and azaleas... with one of the best views of the downtown skyline." The Arboretum sent me this news saying that they were gobsmacked to be "listed second in an elite group that includes Gardens of the Palace of Versailles, Versailles, France; Claude Monet Foundation, Giverny, France; Kirstenbosch National Botanic Garden, Cape Town, South Africa; Rio de Janeiro Botanical Garden, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil; Nong Nooch Tropical Garden, Chonburi Province, Thailand; Royal Botanic Gardens, London, England; and Singapore Botanic Garden, Singapore."


A new internal framework of wooden columns, beams and staircases provides a warm contrast to the rough stone walls of this old farmhouse in rural Spain, renovated by Barcelona studio 2260mm (+ slideshow).
Architects Manel Casellas and Mar Puig de la Bellacasa of 2260mm were asked to refurbish the building in the Cantabria region of northern Spain, but during the design process the property partially collapsed so it became necessary to perform a complete rebuild.
As a building of local historic significance, the architects were required to reconstruct the property with the same dimensions, materials and aesthetic as the original and therefore focused their more radical interventions on the interior to make it suitable for contemporary living.
"The old house had a dark and useless interior; in fact many years ago the animals lived on the ground floor and people on the first and second floors," Manel Casellas told Dezeen.
"The owners wanted a light and comfortable house, so we designed a contemporary house inside an old stone box."
To achieve the welcoming aesthetic requested by the clients, while also referencing the building's original interior, the architects used wooden columns and beams to create a supporting structure for panels of cross-laminated timber.
"Although we wanted a contemporary house, we wanted also to respect the materials of the old house," said Casellas. "That's why we used timber and the existing stone."
The interior is dominated by a triple-height atrium next to the entrance, designed to "give lightness and spaciousness to the house". It contains a staircase that rises to connect the ground floor with the two storeys above.
A short set of steps leads down from the front door to a poured concrete floor that forms the ground floor level, which accommodates an open-plan kitchen, living and dining space.
A fireplace contained in a white box sits within the atrium, with its chimney flue extending up over the surface of the stone wall.
Solid wooden columns placed on top of existing stone plinths support floor plates. Made from cross-laminated timber panels, these form ceilings throughout and flooring on the upper levels.
The architects chose cross-laminated timber because its dry construction method enhances the project's ecological credentials.
Leaving the wood exposed on the floors and ceilings helped to minimise the number of materials used and reduce costs, while treating it with a colourless varnish allows the original grain to act as a natural decoration.
The staircase that rises through the atrium features balustrades made from simple sawn timber, which also line a corridor on the first floor that leads to the bedrooms.
Beneath the angled ceiling on the second floor is a space designated as a play area, illuminated by two large skylights.

That's because one week ago today, we were all introduced to Gritty.
Throughout the week, Gritty has been making random appearances, and also attended the Phillies game on Saturday night and partied with the Phanatic. It's like a match made in heaven, honestly.
But Gritty also made the national headlines, and had segments dedicated to, um, it, over the weekend on both Saturday Night Live and Last Week Tonight. And while it's clear that the national people think of Gritty as a punch line, it just so happens they don't know Gritty like we know Gritty.
Watch the two segments below.

Die Cartoon-Serie Die Hammlets entstand 1978 und erschien zunächst auf Hessisch in der Regionalzeitung Dieburger Anzeiger. Ihr Erfinder war der in Dieburg lebende Zeichner Hans-Peter Murmann (1946–2019).

Die Erscheinungsform der Cartoons war die für jene Zeit klassische, d. h. in Schwarz-Weiß, und die Geschichten waren in vier Panels aufgeteilt (vergleichbar den Peanuts, Hägar, Mafalda oder Ähnlichen). Inhaltlich befassten sie sich mit Situationen aus dem allgemein menschlichen Umfeld wie Beziehungen, Arbeit, Freizeit und vergleichbaren Themenkreisen. Die Hauptfiguren der Cartoons sind namentlich meist nicht näher bezeichnete Schafe, die die Rolle der menschlichen Akteure übernehmen. Ein großer Teil der Comic-Streifen stellt Missverständnisse durch falsche Wortassoziationen (Kalauer) dar.

Die ersten überregionalen Veröffentlichungen waren 1978 in dem satirischen Monatsmagazin Pardon zu sehen. 1980 schaffte die Zeichenserie den Sprung in die erste überregionale Tageszeitung, die einstige Abendpost/Nachtausgabe (Frankfurt), wo sie wöchentlich in der Samstagsausgabe (mit Willi Wacker) im Unterhaltungsteil erschien. Bis 1984 folgten Veröffentlichungen in Mannheimer Morgen, Rheinische Post, Freundin.

1985 erschien das erste Buch, Schaf empfehlen wir heute besonders. Weitere drei Bücher folgten bis 1986: Sie haben Ihre Tasche vergessen, Viel zuviel Salz sowie Aamool im Joar (in hessischem Dialekt). Bis heute sind insgesamt 15 Bücher erschienen.

Large-scale injection of Covid-19 vaccine expected to aid tourism
By Thanh Ha

HCMC – Despite positive news about Vietnam's trial injection of a Covid-19 vaccine on people, foreign visitors are expected to return to Vietnam only once the vaccine is injected on a large scale, according to local travel firms.
Although some foreign partners have asked local tour operators about the prices of tours to Vietnam, when these tours will resume remains undecided. Some partners have even canceled next year's tours.
Transtravel Company Deputy Director Nguyen Manh Ha said tours to Vietnam would be canceled for another six months, prolonging the cancelation period of these tours to 18 consecutive months.
The firm had earlier expected tours for French tourists to begin in September thanks to Vietnam's effective control of Covid-19. However, the complicated developments of the pandemic across the world have dented the expectation.
The tourism sector had planned to introduce tours to safe destinations during the pandemic. However, after the new Covid-19 waves and Thailand's unsuccessful models to welcome international tourists, the solution still remains on paper.
If many people are injected with the Covid-19 vaccine, it can help the resumption of international flights and tours, said Lux Group CEO Pham Ha.
International customers of the company are still postponing and canceling tours to Vietnam. However, when news about Vietnam's Covid-19 vaccine was announced, some partners asked for the company's tour prices in the second half of 2021 and early 2022.
Lux Group's partners in the United Kingdom and Germany have booked tours at the end of 2021, but they will go on these tours once the vaccine is injected on a large scale and they are not quarantined when they enter the country.
Vietnam has some 2,700 enterprises that have been licensed to organize outbound tours but most of them have suspended their operations. A majority of their staff has yet to resume full-time work.
Tran Xuan Hung, chairman of Viking Travel Company, said despite its experience in the domestic tourism segment, his company is still finding it hard to return to normal, as low demand and fierce competition have cause multiple difficulties for the firm.
Many other firms are facing the same fate, sharing that both tours for Vietnamese and international tourists have been unsalable. A plan to attract foreigners to Vietnam to visit local destinations has remained ineffective.
The director of a travel company in HCMC's District 1 said the company had been seeking customers since late March but received only a few bookings, explaining that its customers have also cut expenses due to the pandemic and the number of foreigners in Vietnam is dropping.
According to information disclosed at a recent conference of the HCMC Committee for Overseas Vietnamese Affairs, the number of foreigners in HCMC has halved to some 60,000 people and will continue falling in the coming periods.
As a result, some travel firms have to continue freezing their operations to reduce losses.
Nguyen Son Thuy, director of Indochina Unique Tourist, said his company had to fire more employees. It expected to welcome tourists at the end of this year but the plan has been delayed to June next year at the earliest.
In April, the company decided to temporarily suspend its operations to save costs but had still prepared a fund to pay the salaries of its employees until the end of the year. However, the fund has been exhausted.

Johnnie Cochran And The Excuses Made In Defense Of Black Men
Posted on March 16, 2016 - By Veronica Wells
Source: WENN
I am obsessed with "The People v. O.J. Simpson." Every Tuesday night, I wait with baited breath for the most recent episode. And then I spend the rest of the week, researching to see what was and wasn't factual. I have discussions about the bits of information the show has exposed. I theorize about what I would be thinking at this present moment as a juror, I watch video interviews from the key players, wondering how they went about their lives after the trial of the century ended.
Obsessed.
I think what's so fascinating about the series is the way public perception, mine and society's, has changed over the years. In the 90's, I was a kid, in elementary school. Still, the details of the trial everybody seemed to be watching were inescapable. And so I was cognizant enough to know that the people around me, wanted O.J. to get off, whether they believed he killed Ron and Nicole or not. And they loved Johnnie Cochran. They hung on his every word, eating up his expressive arguments. They remarked on his smoothness, his way with words, his coolness under pressure. They chuckled and then recited his catch phrases ad nauseam.
But they never talked about his past with domestic violence. They never talked about the fact that he had a mistress, a White woman, who he was living with, in another house during his first marriage. No one ever mentioned that he had a child with this woman, a son who she named Johnnie after his brilliant father.
It was "The People v. O.J. Simpson" that brought that fact back to the light. And for the third or fourth time since the series premiered, I thought about what I would have thought of Johnnie Cochran as an adult watching this case, because right now, he's not exactly a hero for me.
I don't have a disdain for the lawyering profession, but there is something unsettling about a person who would knowingly defend someone who they believe is guilty, as I believe Johnnie knew O.J. was. People will say, it's his job as if that excuses the behavior. It doesn't. Many of us have jobs. And if our superiors told us to do something that was immoral, no one would applaud us for following instructions. There has to be a higher code of ethnics than doing what is necessary to keep a job.
But now, knowing what we know about the late Cochran, doing what it takes to stay hirable and employed were the least of his flaws. Last night, "The People v. O.J. Simpson" talked about Cochran's past with domestic violence, with his first wife, his ex wife, Barbara Jean Berry as the victim. Married in 1959, she accused Cochran of abuse on multiple occasions. In her motion to receive a restraining order against Cochran she wrote, "'On April 29, 1967, my husband violently pushed me against the wall, held me there and grabbed me by my chin. He has slapped me in the past, torn a dress off me [and] threatened on numerous occasions to beat me up."
Ten years later, after the couple reconciled, she filed divorce papers again stating that "without any reasonable cause, provocation or justification physically struck, beat and inflicted severe injury up on the person of the Petitioner'. "
When the Los Angeles Times asked Cochran about the allegations he said, "'I have never touched her or hit her, and we are very good friends to this day,' Cochran said at the time.
'Those are 20-year-old statements for legal reasons. She knows they are not true and will be happy to talk to you about it.'"
When they did call her and speak to her about it, she said she didn't want to discuss it.
Later, in her book Life After Johnnie Cochran: Why I left the sweetest-talking, most successful black lawyer in L.A. she wrote that Cochran and his father pressured her to deny the abuse claims and said that Johnnie called her after reporters first questioned him, saying if she denied the claims she would never want for anything if she would tell the reporter he was a wonderful guy. She said if she had done so, she would have made more money than the sale of her book which she ultimately released months later. Poignantly though, she said of Johnnie and Simpson.
"He and Simpson were mirror images of each other in their apparent disdain for women."
But it wasn't just the abuse. There was also Johnnie's 28-year affair with a woman named Patricia. She later bestowed the last name Cochran on herself. Berry called her ex husband a bigamist as he was supporting this woman with $4,000 a month and had fathered her child, who she named Johnnie.
I would be remiss if I didn't mention that Patricia is a White woman. And I'm not a hater to interracial relationships; but for Cochran to be fighting against the White establishment all the time, for Johnnie to "blacken" up O.J.'s house to appeal to the Black jurors he approved, it's…interesting to say the least.
And interestingly enough, when we discuss Cochran's legacy, the abuse, the manipulation, the side family never really come up. He was just a great trial lawyer who was an advocate for Black people.
Let's be honest though, Black men specifically, Michael Jackson, Todd Bridges, Jim Brown and Diddy.
And there is the rub. The only reason Johnnie's flaws are minimized and he was so highly regarded back in 90's was because he was a champion for Black men. And the Black community will ride for anyone who defends Black manhood, even at the expense of Black women. And while I might have fallen for that okey doke as a young girl, not yet well versed on the manifestations of misognoir, today, in my matured mind, I just can't.
I would like to think that as a more evolved society, knowing more about feminism, male privilege and witnessing the ways Black women have been relegated to a position of inferiority, even within our own communities, we would recognize the signs. We would know better and do better. But I don't know if that's entirely true.
And it's still happening today. Specifically with Monique Pressley in her defense of Bill Cosby. Interestingly enough, she's called "Johnnie Cochran in a skirt." And while we don't know about her personal life like we know about Johnnie's, her morality is questionable to me too because she's so willing to hold up Cosby, a Black man who has abused her own community: women, Black and White alike. But again, when discussions of her arise, we applaud her smooth talking. People love the way she shuts down reporters, with an insincere smile, not considering the fact that she may very well be selling her soul to do so.
This is the genius of "The People v. O.J. Simpson" for as much as it's a show about a case that happened over 20 years ago, it still manages to say quite a bit about our current societal climate.

Australia is one of the most popular destinations for people wishing to emigrate from their own countries. This is because the Australian economy has remained stable despite a lot of challenges. The security in the country is arguably one of the best in the world while there are also very good job opportunities for people with the right skills. Another issue that has made this one of the most desirable destinations is that the government has a very simple policy for immigration. This policy basically encourages those who have the right skills to go and work in the country. In order to qualify for a skill related visa, one is normally assessed through several things including; work experience, qualifications and language proficiency. There are also other visa options including, student visas and humanitarian visas.
In a recent government study, the population of Western Australia was shown to have increased by 3.4% which can be translated into about 82, 600 people. This increase took place between February 2012 and March 2013. An interesting find here is that 63% of this rise is attributed to immigrants who have settled in the country due to their skills. The immigrants are mostly attracted by the vast job opportunities presented by the natural resource projects concentrated in this part of the country. Immigrants in this category are those who hold temporary work visas or more commonly referred to as the '457 visas'. These visas are normally issued to foreigners who have proven skills and qualifications. The visas are valid for a period not exceeding four years and holders are allowed to bring their families along.
One of the main advantages of these visas is that they are not limited to a particular group of immigrants. This means they can be accessed by just about anyone regardless of country of origin. In September 2013, the prime minister of Australia promised to initiate talks with Indonesia in order to make immigration for Indonesians much simpler. Indonesia is just one of the countries believed to have skilled workers looking for opportunities to better their lives. It is also worth noting that once an individual has been given the 457, he or she can travel together with the family. The visa holders are also allowed to travel in and out of the country as often as they will within the period of validity.

Vehicle numbers increase in Bengaluru
Bengaluru's vehicle numbers has increased to 80 lakhs; with this, the city has overtaken Mumbai, Hyderabad and Chennai in terms of the number of vehicles. Now Bengaluru is second only to Delhi, which has 1.5 crore vehicles, according to Transport Commissioner V P Ikkeri. Bengaluru's 10,000 km of road length is considerably lower than Delhi 's 30,000 km.
The total number of vehicles in Karnataka has now increased to 2.10 crore, Ikkeri said. Since five to six lakh vehicles are added each year to the city, the number of vehicles in the Bengaluru metropolitan area is likely to cross one crore in another three years.

Restricting admission to unaided schools under RTE helps students: State to HC
Underprivileged students admitted to unaided private schools under RTE Act face difficulty continuing their schooling after Class 8, said the state government to the Karnataka High Court. After the age of 14, students are not eligible for reimbursement of fees by the government, as per the RTE Act.
However, the amendment to the Karnataka RTE Rules, which allows admission to an unaided school under RTE only if there is no government or aided school in the neighbourhood, addresses this issue, submitted the government. The amendment ensures that students can continue their education in government or aided schools, said the government. Government made these arguments at the hearing of a PIL that questioned the amended rules restricting admission to unaided schools under RTE. The money that the government saves by implementing the amended Rules would be used to improve facilities in government schools as well, the government said.
The state government had spent more than Rs 1,000 crore to reimburse fees for the RTE quota seats in unaided schools from 2012-13 to 2018. In 2018-19, the amount payable as reimbursement of fees to unaided schools works out to about Rs 700 crore.
Elevated corridor will affect 1131 properties
The proposed elevated corridor project, to be built over more than 102 kms, will require 56.89 hectares of land and will impact about 1131 properties, according to the Environment Impact Assessment (EIA) report drawn up by the Karnataka Road Development Corporation Ltd (KRDCL). The EIA is part of the final feasibility report on the project that was released to the public.
The identified properties include 209 residential, 577 commercial, and 32 religious structures. The KRDCL will have to incur an expenditure of Rs 11,555 crore to acquire the properties.
The report said that of the 56.89 ha of land needed, 17.76 ha is privately owned, 33.52 ha is government land, 2.54 ha is defence land and 3.07 ha of land belongs to the central government. The project will be taken up in four phases.

The wilder the greener, the crazier the better.
New to the scene, model Kalam Horlick at Elite London is the spontaneous boy that was scouted twice at the same festival. Born, raised and living amongst the lush landscapes of South Wales, Kalam brings a hint of a fantastical quality everywhere he goes. His modelling adventures within London has his mum involved every step of the way, as she dedicatedly drives him into the city to enable her boy to start this new chapter. Together, they openly discuss how their first model scout encounter led them to finding a harmonious way to spend more time together.
How were you scouted, Kalam?
Kalam: I was scouted at Boardmasters festival in the summertime. I was just walking around and someone approached me and asked if I was interested in modelling. At first, I thought it was a practical joke, but we eventually became best friends. I gave my mum a look at first, thought about it, and ended up taking pictures later on with the agency.
Kalam: Such a good start.
Kalam's mum: It was a bit of a cheesy line. When he approached Kalam, it was as if he was saying: "hey, I think you're pretty, do you want me to take photos of you?"
Kalam: At first I thought he was someone who was just checking me out, but he took notes as well, so I was confused.
Kalam's mum: Kalam was much shorter at the time. He was scouted twice at the same festival.
Instant Analogue by Sophie Mayanne with special thanks to Impossible.
What have you been up to since you've been scouted?
Kalam: My time's gone by really fast. I'm not tied down in college, so I've got more free time. I used to ride my BMX quite a lot, but then I started to become a bit lazier. I eat a lot of food, especially love chocolate raisins and pizza. I have done my first shoot for Craig Green, and that was quite strange. Strange in a good way though; it was just an insight into what to expect in a fashion studio. Overall it was a really good shoot with great styling and I liked meeting tonnes of new people. I'm constantly gaining new experiences from the shoots.
What have you got planned for your gap year and the future?
Kalam: I haven't used my gap year to its full potential so far, but I really want to spend more time with friends. Unfortunately they're in college right now, so they don't have much free time apart from the weekends. It's really good to have a break for now though. Next year I might enrol for college, this is why I've decided to take the opportunity to do something that I never expected to do: modelling.
What was it like growing up in South Wales?
Kalam: It's different, it's nice. Pretty quiet, but there is a beautiful scenery. There are good walks to go on if you are into doing a lot of activities, and if you're into hiking there are plenty of mountains. There are tonnes of beaches, trees, it's pretty. I used to climb trees, but I'm not as active as I was before. It's more slow paced; less people, less cars and maybe less to do. Kids my age get together, party, and hang out. It's more about socialising with each other rather than being swept up in technology. I like a good walk every now and then; Wales is beautiful for long walks, while eating chocolate raisins. I have a favourite spot which others may not see as beautiful. There is a golf course just up a mountain where you can see miles ahead. You can even see that central is the busiest area, it's pretty cool, because you can see through all of the valley.
Kalam: I don't stick to a plan, which can sometimes be a good thing or quite a bad thing. I like to see what happens with the flow, I'm pretty chilled out.
(Cecilie Jumps in) Does anyone ever talk about your hair or ears? They're like elf ears! Really cool.
Kalam: Not before, but now they do. Does everyone think I look like an elf? One of my ears is more elf-like than the other. I used to have long hair, so I would always use that to cover my ears. My hair is currently still in a testing stage. I'm at a stage where I don't know if this is going to be my look. I've had a hairstylist create a grease lighting type of look on me before, which was really cool.
How do you feel about showing your feelings in public?
Kalam: It's definitely fine for boys to show their feelings. There's no point in hiding it, because no one else knows what you're feeling. If you're happy, express it. If you're sad, also express it.
Can you tell a story about Kalam that can entertain everyone.
Kalam's mum: There're quite a lot, I've got a whole bank of those stories. Kalam has always done BMX, so when his stabilisers came off at three years old, he rode his bike down the steps to the front of the house. The walls were much closer than the turn at the bottom of the stairs, so he slammed into the wall. Not even a stunt-man could've done that without getting hurt!
What do you think of all his modelling?
Kalam's mum: I'm proud and impressed. He does things that I wouldn't be able to do. He's a natural, because it was nothing that we thought about before and it can be quite scary, but he seems comfortable with it. It's been such an adventure.
Do you enjoy being in front of camera?
Kalam: I'd be lying if I said I didn't enjoy it. I try to clear my head when I'm in front of the camera, I always try not to have loads of things running through my mind and cooperate with the photographer. I personally like the shoots that are quite out there, the crazier the better for me since I'm quite a spontaneous person.
Kalam: My music list is so wide, I can't pinpoint what I listen to. I like a bit of classical music and anything with a good beat. I like dance music and bands, and listen to a range of bands and musicians. One time at a festival, I was expecting 'Skream' to be there, but he didn't turn up and I was quite upset about that. My mum and I have similar music taste, except she has a few tunes she doesn't agree with me on and vice versa.
Are you together a lot?
Kalam: Not as much as we probably should. We don't spend enough time together, since I was always hibernating in my room or out with my friends. Modelling is where we bond and where we truly spend time with each other.
Kalam's mum: I usually won't see him again until the next time he needs a lift to London, haha.


What can you say. Go backwards from the wall and those 58,000 names. All those people who were just like you and me. All those people who never came back. And then you go back into the jungle and watch them die and see their wounds and hear their mothers and sisters and wives talk. And then you see the men now talking about what happened and they are back there. And it goes on for two hours every night and sometimes you drift off but you want to stay in there.
Kent state. The students who are shot down. The guardsmen who shot them. The people who spat on the vets when they came home. The vets who came home and thought about killing themselves. The POWs who somehow survived to return to their homes and meet their children on the tarmac who are six or seven years older. The solider who bends down to kiss the ground.
And everyone cries. They cry when they get the telegrams telling them their son died and they cry forty years later talking about it. The Viet Cong cry. The US soldiers cry. The families cry. And finally by the end you realize it is a living thing. The Vietnam War will remain real until everyone is gone and there will just be that wall of 58,000 names.
Then it will be up to us to remember.

Engineering apprenticeships on display at Leeds Welding
A group of Leeds students has visited laser cutting and metal fabrication firm Leeds Welding Company as part of the Leeds Manufacturing Festival, to see for themselves the careers and apprenticeships on offer in a modern engineering business.
The festival includes a programme of events running up to October which showcase job and training opportunities available for young people with Leeds' 1,800 manufacturing businesses.
Leeds Welding Company, a £12m turnover business employing more than 120 people, has recently invested in high-tech laser cutting and robotic welding machinery and plans to take on four new apprentices this year as part of the firm's long-running apprenticeship and training programme.
Managing director Richard Eaglen, who along with other members of Leeds Welding's management team began his working life, aged 16, as a sheet metal apprentice, said: "We are firm advocates of apprenticeships, which are a really excellent start on the career ladder for young people. There's a misconception among parents, and some students, that an apprenticeship with a company like Leeds Welding will result in someone becoming a welder all their life.
"In fact there are tremendous opportunities to learn about all aspects of a modern engineering business, from CAD/CAM technology to production engineering, purchasing and stock control, with the option to develop in an area of the business that is of most interest."
He added: "For anyone who is considering choosing an apprenticeship over a university course I would say that in the workplace, hands-on education and a grounding in a practical environment has double the value of academic qualifications."
Leeds Welding, which designs and manufactures metal products such as commercial vehicle chassis components, and carries out metal fabrication for the construction industry, has recently invested in a new agricultural division of the business that manufactures tractor attachments and farm machinery.
Graham Cooper, organiser of the Leeds Manufacturing Festival and a director at Agfa Graphics, said: "Leeds remains one of the UK's major centres for manufacturing and engineering, and it's vital that we capture the enthusiasm of young people and inspire them to join the industry. Through the Leeds Manufacturing Festival we have the opportunity to show students and young people across the city the modern high tech careers that are available to them right on their doorstep."
Now in its second year, the festival is sponsored by RSM, Womble Bond Dickinson, The Works Recruitment and Leeds City College. It is organised by Leeds Manufacturing Alliance, with the support of Leeds Chamber of Commerce, Leeds City Council and Leeds City Region Enterprise Partnership (LEP). The initiative is complemented by Bradford Manufacturing Weeks, which take place in October.
Manufacturing businesses, schools, and students can find out more about the festival, and how to get involved, at www.leedsmanufacturingfestival.co.uk
