Japan Christian Link views complaints as an opportunity to learn and improve for the future, as well as a chance to put things right for the person or organisation that has made the complaint.
JCL's policy is to:
provide a fair complaints procedure which is clear and easy to use for anyone wishing to make a complaint;
publicise the existence of our complaints procedure so that people know how to contact us to make a complaint;
make sure everyone at JCL knows what to do if a complaint is received;
make sure that complaints are investigated fairly and in a timely way;
make sure that complaints are, wherever possible, resolved and that relationships are repaired;
gather information which helps us to improve.
Definition of a complaint
A complaint is any expression of dissatisfaction, whether justified or not, about any aspect of JCL – administration, a staff member, process or service – resulting from JCL's failure to meet the individual's expectations.
This policy does not cover complaints from staff, who should refer to JCL's Grievance Procedures.
All complaint information will be handled sensitively and will be shared only with those who need to know. All applicable data protection regulations will be followed.
We want to make it easy for you to contact us and provide feedback or make a complaint. These are the ways you can get in touch with us:
You can call us on (+44) 01732 455453.
You can email us on [email protected]
You can write to us at Japan Christian Link, PO Box 68, Sevenoaks, Kent TN13 2ZY.
In all instances where a complaint is made we will contact you within 5 working days of receiving the complaint. If you provide us with a telephone number and/or email address we will contact you by either of those means to discuss the matter further and to record all necessary details.
Wherever possible, we will seek to resolve the matter immediately. However, if the issue is more complex and an investigation is required, we will do the following:
The person who receives a complaint will:
Record full details of your complaint.
Record the complaint in our Complaints Register.
Note down the relationship of the complainant to JCL, e.g., donor, beneficiary, literature buyer, etc.
Take all steps necessary to investigate the matter.
Contact you again within 15 working days of receiving the complaint to advise you of our findings or to give you an update on progress.
Continue to keep you informed until the matter is resolved to your satisfaction or until all appropriate steps (in JCL's opinion) to resolve the matter have been taken.
JCL's Director of Operations will handle all complaints and, if necessary, will escalate these to the JCL Council (JCL's governing body) depending on the complexity or seriousness of the issue. In the event that the complaint relates to the Director of Operations, the complaint will be handled by the Director of Mission.
Our commitment to you is to address each complaint in a sensitive, fair, transparent, equitable, professional and unbiased manner.
We will operate at all times from the premise that anyone is entitled to express his or her views on our services and that those views should be taken seriously where this is warranted. We will not, however, tolerate any abusive or discriminatory language or behaviour towards any of our staff, and may decline to investigate a complaint further in such circumstances.
In many cases a complaint is best resolved by the person responsible for the issue in question. If the complaint has been received by that person, they may be able to resolve it swiftly and should do so if possible and appropriate. Whether or not the complaint has been resolved, details of the complaint will be provided to the Director of Operations within five working days of receipt.
On receiving the complaint, if it has not already resolved, the Director of Operations will investigate it and take appropriate action. If the complaint relates to a specific person, they will be informed and given a fair opportunity to respond.
Complaints are to be acknowledged by the person handling the complaint within five working days. The acknowledgement should say who is dealing with the complaint and when the complainant can expect a reply. A copy of this complaints procedure should be attached. Ideally, complainants should receive a definitive reply within 15 working days. If this is not possible because for example, an investigation has not been completed, a progress report should be sent within 15 working days with an indication of when a full reply will be given.
Whether the complaint is justified or not, the reply to the complainant should describe the action taken to investigate the complaint, the conclusions from the investigation, and (subject to JCL's Privacy Policy) any action taken as a result of the complaint.
If the complainant feels that the problem has not been satisfactorily resolved at Stage 1, they can request that the complaint is reviewed by the JCL Council.
The request for Council review should be acknowledged within five working days of receipt. The acknowledgement should state who will deal with the case and when the complainant can expect a reply.
The JCL Council may investigate the facts of the case themselves or delegate a suitable person to do so. This may involve reviewing the case and speaking with the person who dealt with the complaint at Stage 1.
If the complaint relates to a specific person, they should be informed and given a further opportunity to respond. Ideally complainants should receive a definitive reply within 30 working days. If this is not possible, a progress report should be sent with an indication of when a definitive reply will be given.
Whether the complaint is upheld or not, the reply to the complainant should describe the action taken to investigate the complaint, the conclusions from the investigation and any action taken as a result of the complaint. The decision taken at this stage is final, unless the JCL Council decides it is appropriate to seek external assistance.
External Stage
As JCL is a registered charity, the complainant may complain to the Charity Commission or another appropriate regulator at any stage. Information about making a complaint to the Charity Commission or other regulators can be found on their website at:
https://www.gov.uk/complain-about-charity
Review of Complaints Received
All complaints received will be shared with the JCL Council at its regular meetings. Through this process we aim to improve our services and to ensure that any lessons learned are implemented.
This policy will be reviewed by the JCL Council every 3 years.
Adopted by the JCL Council on 5th March 2021

Review: 6 business-class Chromebooks test their mettle
Free Windows, end of XP spree drop Microsoft revenue by $455M
What's behind the stall in PC and tablet sales
Chromebooks coming with Intel's new Braswell chips
Tech's Bottom Line
By Bill Snyder, InfoWorld |
The $99 PC is coming, and that's bad news
Chromebooks are finally gaining traction, and PCs on a stick are arriving -- that spells trouble for the struggling PC industry
The vision of Microsoft's Satya Nadella and Google's Larry Page prancing in a pas de deux doesn't go well with your morning coffee. But the two CEOs are indeed dancing around each other as Google pushes into the laptop market with Chromebooks and Chromebits, while Microsoft counters with low-priced versions of the Surface 3 tablet and pressures PC makers to sell cheaper conventional PCs.
The ballet at the low end of the desktop market comes as three other factors hurt the PC makers' ability to make money:
A strong dollar is pinching overseas PC sales.
The buying blip related to the end of support for Windows XP is clearly over.
Convertibles -- Windows laptops that double as tablets -- have not generated much excitement, and thus little revenue.
[ The InfoWorld review: Google Chrome wants to be your OS. | Get a digest of the day's top tech stories in the InfoWorld Daily newsletter. ]
Although the Chromebook lacks many of the capabilities of a full-fledged laptop, it appeals to budget-conscious buyers who spend most of their computing time on the Web. It's even making inroads into the K-12 education market -- at Apple's expense, says NPD analyst Stephen Baker.
What's more, it has gained significant traction in the overall market in the last year. "The battlefield in 2015 on the consumer side is going to be on the low end," Baker tells me. "The Chromebook has proven it is a competitor, but it will be under pressure this year given Microsoft's interest in pushing down prices."
That said, it's not an entirely even match. If the Chromebook disappeared, Google's financials would hardly be affected. But Microsoft, which will be giving away Windows 10 for a while, and the PC makers have both been hurt as they're forced into accepting lower prices while defending their core business.
I don't think I'd want one, but even sophisticated users like my InfoWorld colleague Simon Phipps, who ditched his MacBook and bought a Chromebook, are singing its praises.
Where Chromebooks are making inroads
You can now buy a reasonably capable Chromebook for well under $200. In fact, two new ones went on sale Tuesday for $149.
The Haier Chromebook 11 and Hisense Chromebook each has an 11.6-inch display, 2GB of RAM, and Rockchip 3288 ARM processors. Amazon.com is taking preorders for the Haier Chromebook, and Walmart is taking them for the Hisense model.
It's easy to exaggerate the success of the Chromebook -- it's hardly a PC killer, as some in the blogosphere would have you believe -- but it's beginning to carve a notable presence in the market.
On the personal side of the PC business, Chromebook sales last year grew in "the low-double digits, representing 15 to 30 percent of sales in the under-$300 market," says Baker. That probably represents 4 to 6 percent of overall consumer PC sales.
IDC estimates that about 6 million Chromebooks were sold worldwide last year, more than doubling from 2.7 million in 2013. In contrast, sales in the overall PC market slipped 2 percent last year, marking the third consecutive annual decline. IDC is projecting that 8 million Chromebooks will be sold this year.
By contrast, IDC in February reduced its forecast for PC sales in 2015. The research company expects sales to decline 4.9 percent to $187.1 billion, compared with a prior forecast for a 3.3 percent decline.
With the exception of the education market, I have yet to hear that the Chromebook has had much success beyond consumers -- largely because it can't run Office-type applications demanded by businesses. But business sales are clearly not holding up the PC market.
Microsoft pushes prices down to get PC sales back up
Even if the Chromebook didn't exist, the PC industry would still be in trouble and Microsoft would be making moves into the lower end of the market. But the rise of the low-cost Chromebooks has given Nadella and company yet another incentive to push down prices.
Microsoft's newly released Surface 3 tablet, for example, sells for $499; the higher-end models go for $799 to $1,949. Compared to those other models, the Surface 3 has a slightly smaller screen (10.8 inches rather than 12), a slower processor, and a less-flexible kickstand. But unlike earlier cheap Surface versions that ran a kludge of an operating system called Windows RT, this one runs the real Windows and most of the familiar Windows applications.
Prices for other manufacturers' low-end PCs are coming down as well. "We've seen 15 percent price declines in the under-$300 price band," says NPD's Baker. Microsoft is also pushing PC makers and retailers to sell cheaper PCs. As a result, you can, for example, now buy Hewlett-Packard's Stream PC for as little as $199.
Intel, which is very dependent on the PC market, is hurting too. But unlike Microsoft, it has some presence in the Chromebook market via its lower-end lines of Atom and Celeron chips, says Nathan Brookwood, a principal analyst at Insight 64.
"Would Intel rather sell a Core i5 instead of an Atom? Of course, but it can still make money on lower-priced chips," he tells me.
The PC on a stick puts even more pressure on PC prices
Intel could even make money with chips for a new class of device, the so-called PC on a stick, Brookwood notes.
The PC on a stick is basically a dongle containing an operating system that plugs into an HDMI port on a monitor or a TV. Dell has sold one called the Wyse Cloud Connect ($129) for about a year now, and Asus and Google will sell Google's version, the Chromebit, this summer. The price hasn't been set, but Google says it will likely go for less than $100.
Intel will also sell its own version of the PC on a stick later this month: One running Windows will cost about $150, and one running Linux will cost about $100. The required wireless keyboard and mouse are not included in any of these products.
I don't think many people would want to turn their TV into a PC, but you could turn your older HDTV into a smart TV with the dongle, says Brookwood. The cheap device might also be a good fit in the education market, and travelers might take it with them on the road instead of lugging a laptop or a pricey iPad.
The PC isn't what it used to be
There's an intangible psychological factor that Microsoft and the rest of the PC industry have to face: Cheap devices like the Chromebook, capable tablets like the iPad, and powerful smartphones are changing how people think about computing.
There are a lot of ways to get your work done or to entertain yourself, and the first thought that enters someone's head to do these things isn't necessarily a PC.
The PC industry can't dance around it.

Q: directorysearcher pagesize confusion I have been looking over Microsoft's documentation and the posts here on getting search results from DirectorySearcher. I am writing code not sure the best performing way to get a lot of results from AD (right now testing with 4K results, but should scale for more).
Question 1: What is the best method?
Here are my efforts so far.
Run 1 description
I did not set the PageSize which returns 2000 (this seems to be the default on the AD server - not 1000 that I read from posts/documentation). I do not know how to get the remainder of the results. I tried making calls to Dispose() and then FindAll() multiple times. That did not work (gave me same results over and over).
Question 2: How do I get all the results this way?
Run 1:
//ds.PageSize - not setting this property
log.Debug("PageSize=" + ds.PageSize);
log.Debug("SizeLimit=" + ds.SizeLimit);
results = ds.FindAll();
log.Debug("AD count: " + results.Count);

Run 1 Log
PageSize=0
SizeLimit=0
AD Count: 2000

Run 2 description
I did the PageSize to higher than my results (though I really do not want to do this for performance fears). I got all the results as expected.
Run 2:
ds.PageSize = 5000;
log.Debug("PageSize=" + ds.PageSize);
log.Debug("SizeLimit=" + ds.SizeLimit);
results = ds.FindAll();
log.Debug("AD count: " + results.Count);

Run 2 Log
PageSize=5000
SizeLimit=0
AD Count: 4066

Run 3 description
I set the PageSize to lower than my results so not to impact performance thinking setting this to would then maybe allow the 'pagination' of results by calling Dispose() and FindAll(). Totally got unexpected results!
Run 3:
ds.PageSize = 2000;
log.Debug("PageSize=" + ds.PageSize);
log.Debug("SizeLimit=" + ds.SizeLimit);
results = ds.FindAll();
log.Debug("AD count: " + results.Count);

Run 3 Log:
PageSize=2000
SizeLimit=0
AD Count: 4066

Question 3: This makes no sense to me. Please point me to right direction. I thought subsequent calls to Dispose() and FindAll() would work here. But I got all the results on first go.
Thanks a million!

A: The value may have been changed in your environment - it is 1000 by default. You can set the Page Size to 1000 and the DirectorySearcher class will handle paging for you. If you set it smaller, that's fine too. You should wrap the code in a using block to make sure resources get disposed.

Your strategy may seem savvy at first, but all strategies require legwork to execute properly. Most days it means a lot of legwork.
The key is to pick the right place to invest your efforts. Furthermore, you need an innovative approach to the work you do nowadays to be competitive.
If you want to learn more about where to invest your efforts most effectively, pick up the book Growth IQ: Get Smarter About the Choices That Will Make or Break Your Business by Tiffani Bova. The book shares a number of case studies from startups and larger brands to teach small business owners how to invest efforts more effiiently.
Bova is a customer growth and innovation evangelist at Salesforce. She has lead large companies ranging from startups to Fortune 500 businesses, on top of 10 years spent at Gartner. Small Business Trends received an advanced copy of the book before its August 14, 2018, release date.
What Is Growth IQ About?
Bova provides a set of case studies a few pages deep, with key takeaways at the end. The cases are arranged as Paths — the book's name for growth strategies various companies in the study undertook. Many of the takeaways focus on finding more innovative ways to invest effort and avoid relying on a business's past strengths.
This approach takes a unique look at strategies as an executable framework. The information is thankfully presented in a brief enough format to fit the busy business owner's schedule allowing it to be consumed quickly.
Bova's selection of businesses is very broad, incorporating recent business news such as Amazon's acquisition of Whole Foods. Successes examined include Lemonade Insurance, Shake Shack, Blue Apron, Netflix, Lego, Kylie Cosmetics and The Honest Company. Traditional enterprises such as Sears, McDonald's and Walmart are also examined.
"One team would be focused on bringing in new revenue and protecting the existing business from an unwanted decline….the second is what I like to call a 'pop-up team' which is a group focused exclusively on the planning and execution of all new growth paths," Bova writes.
Another great feature is the attention Bova gives to business trends. The attention leads to workable ideas for the entrepreneur with respect to a market or internal operational challenges. When Bova covers the experience former Tom's Shoes CEO Blake Mycoskie had with the growth of the shoe retailer, for example, the reader gains key insights into the use of social entrepreneurship and into recognizing when to step back to discover how to reinvigorate a business model. Mycoskie took a sabbatical from the CEO position when he realized the innovation his company needed.
"During that hiatus, Mycoskie pondered the fate of his company and its philosophy. He realized that the company he founded had become more focused on process than purpose. It had lost its way," Bova explained.
Mycoskie's sabbatical led to new strategic decisions, such as enlisting a CEO more experienced with socially conscious businesses to run Tom's Shoes.
"The key to operating any of the ten growth paths is to ride them until you have wrung out every ounce of revenues, profits, and market development and then make the next leap…..establish metrics for your company's health and put systems in place to monitor those metrics….the goal his to create a fast-enough feedback loop to identify new trends within a company before they fully emerge and have major impact," Bova writes.
Did you notice the mention of metrics? If you still think analytics is not important to your success, then you're probably struggling…and you must read this book to get creative.
It would have been nice to read more advice specifically pertaining to operations. While much advice sensibly relates to customer experience, but it would have been helpful to see more case studies showing best practices for businesses seeking to launch a new product or service and facing difficulties with logistics.
Other case studies examine partnerships where manufacturers are involved. The Fiat-Chrysler, BMW and Intel agreements show how competitors can work together to meet large logistics challenges.
You'll also find a section dedicated to combined paths. The section features a case study on the only famous company that has ever successfully leveraged its operations as a platform: Amazon.
Readers looking for innovation can consider this book an MBA-level crash-course in spotting opportunities to improve. Getting better at spotting opportunities will make a difference when working to get your business unstuck and growing. The ideas complement other books on competition such as How to be a Fierce Competitor and on Aligning Strategy and Sales.
Choosing the right strategy is essential to making a business grow. Your business growth can gain a fast start with Growth IQ.
It is all about having an affinity for growth. Of wanting to grow and knowing how to face failure.
Growth IQ for me is knowing the things that you have to do to propel your business forward. We live in the age of innovation so this came just in time.

Instead, the album has songs mostly written by herself and Aylin Atalay. She proved her success in music-writing as well as performing. The CD version of the album has a cover with fragrance, the first of its kind in Turkey.

Most likely, sooner or later, most of underwater treasures will be found. The quantity of ships carrying jewels is estimated to tens of thousands. Especially a lot of them are at the bottom on the way from New to Old World. There are many reasons for is: they did not survive a storm, suffered from the attacks of corsairs or pirates, or they could be on the bottom, simply, as a result of an accident. If you combine all legendary treasures that supposedly lie at the bottom of seas and oceans, then their total weight will significantly exceed the weight of gold produced on Earth during the history of humankind. Despite the fantastic nature of many legends about the treasures of wrecks, they continue to excite the imagination of treasure hunters.
Sea depths store many secrets. Imagine, a captain of an underwater ship has found a map where the location of the lost marine treasure was indicated. He is going to gather a team of brave men who are ready to go scuba diving and overcome all difficulties in the search for the treasure. One of the members of the team can be the gamer of the Leagues of Fortune video slot. This opportunity is given by the developers from Microgaming.
Sunlight almost does not penetrate to the bottom of the sea and the underwater life here is quite poor. The gambler will unlikely meet underwater inhabitants, and if he/she decides to go down to the seabed, the player will be surrounded only by algae. If luck turns to the side of the treasure hunter, he/she will notice a huge squid with golden tentacles. The Leagues of Fortune five-reel slot machine does not have usual paylines. There are constantly active 1024 ways to create profitable compositions, which greatly increases the chances to gain real money. The underwater travel control panel has a standard view and consists of the following keys: the Coins, the Bet Max, the Spin, and the coins value adjusting field +-. The Autoplay function is in the Expert field. To view the table of payouts and rules, the gambler can push the View Pays button.
The logotype of the Leagues of Fortune slot is a wild element that can occupy a place of other elements to make a winning composition. A scattered element is the Treasure Chest. Three, four or five chests let the gambler to notice the giant squid and receive up to 35 free rotations, and a 5X multiplier.
After any successful rotation, the gambler can dive into a unique Gamble program. Here he/she will rotate the compass needle instead of guessing the suit of playing cards. The program offers to gamble for the entire amount of the winnings or for its half. By pressing the Bank button, the gambler risks only half of the winning amount. If the compass needle is in the red area, the gambler loses the fixed win amount. The win amount is regulated by the + – keys. The larger the desired win amount is, the larger the red field size you see. If the compass needle is in a blue area, the gambler will win the sum fixed in the Total Win field by pushing the Collect key.
Every serious gambler can find a treasure in this underwater Las Vegas. If the gamer is not ready yet to take risks, he/she can dive into this underwater online casino for free. The gamer does not have to enter any personal data for registration. It is not required to download this unique game to a computer. He/she can enjoy the search for sunken treasures using demo coins in a demo mode offered by the Leagues of Fortune slot.

How Far Does a P-Trap Have to Be Below a Sink?

Plumbing a Vent Using a Tee Fitting
Toilet Bubbles and Backs Up When the Sink Drains
The p-trap is an important component of sink plumbing that prevents toxic sewer gases from leaking into the home. The length of the tailpiece that connects the drain to the trap depends on a variety of factors, but certain requirements pertain to all sink installations. Still, if you're unsure or inexperienced, call a licensed plumber, to ensure your safety.
Building codes do not mandate a minimum required vertical distance between the sink drain and the trap, but several factors dictate the minimum length of the tailpipe for a particular installation. If the vent pipe is already installed with a connection for the sink, the location of the connection has the most impact on the location of the trap. The trap arm that connects horizontally from the vent pipe to the p-trap must have a slope of 1/4 inch per foot sloping up toward the drain.
If the sink has a pop-up drain, the tailpipe will need to be long enough to house the drain mechanism. If the drain mechanism is not a concern and the vent pipe is not yet installed, measure the distance from the top of the trap connection to the top of the trap arm pipe and fittings to determine the minimum length of the tailpiece.
According to the International Residential Code, the maximum vertical distance between the sink drain and the entrance to the p-trap is 24 inches. However, the Universal Plumbing Code stipulates that the total developed length of all tailpieces, arms and fittings connecting the drain to the p-trap must be 24 inches or less.

2018 Citroen C3 Aircross new car review
French brand has high hopes for new small SUV.
The minivan is dead.
Citroen, which had long stuck with the concept of a compact people mover as the preferred choice for family transport, has finally recognised the shift to SUVs with its second in-house soft roader, the C3 Aircross.
The French brand had used a set of borrowed, and re-badged, Mitsubishis as its first foray - and a stop-gap - into SUV territory, but has now developed its own series of high-riding family cars that have been designed to take the place of the roomy C4 Picasso in the manufacturer's range.
Due to arrive in Australian showrooms by mid 2018 as a rival for the likes of the popular Mazda CX-3 and Toyota C-HR, Citroen claims the C3 Aircross is the most spacious and flexible car in its class, and packaging and personalisation were key priorities when Citroen's designers set to work replacing a small minivan with a crossover.
The C3 Aircross wears a familiar face, part of the brand's new design direction, with themes adapted from cars like the C4 Cactus and new C3 hatch. As an SUV it also stands taller, more upright, and wears the usual plastic protective cladding expected of the class.

Personalisation is the key, which is why mix and match colourways for the main body, roof, and accents (including the roof rails, headlight surrounds, and C-pillar louvres) are available in everything from subtle white and silver to searing high-vis orange.
European specification models that we drove in Corsica during our preview drive also featured bright and colourful interiors with expressive use of fabric elements on the dash and doors, another new Citroen hallmark, though it's too early to say which variations Australia will get.
To ensure interior versatility, the rear seats can be slid up to 15 centimetres and reclined, a feature that's usually reserved for larger SUVs. The front passenger seat can also fold flat for a load length of up to 2.4 metres.

Considering the effort put into cargo space, it's disappointing to find that Citroen has ditched front cupholders, instead opting for a wireless charge pad which techy owners are sure to love - right up until they buy their first can of Coke on the run.
Similarly the interior goes without most of the usual buttons that live in a regular car interior, replaced by a 7.0-inch touchscreen that controls climate control, audio, navigation, and vehicle settings as well as housing Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone mirroring.
The layout for the instrument panel is clear and classic, and while there's a large colour display between the speedo and tacho, most critical info can be viewed on the colour head-up display which even remains visible through polarised glasses where most other similar systems don't.
Citroen has also applied some of its 'Advanced Comfort' features to the C3 Aircross, which results in soft and comfortable seats that made it easy to put in a couple of hours behind the wheel.
The seating position is naturally high thanks to the SUV stance, and forward visibility is good, although the rear quarter window louvres do eat into what would otherwise be extra viewing space out the sides.
When the C3 Aircross does eventually arrive in Australia it will share its 1.2-litre three-cylinder turbo petrol engine and six-speed automatic with other small models in the range, including the C4 Cactus and C3 hatch.
Good for 81kW and 205Nm the little engine is a 'just right' fit for the class, and in the C3 Aircross feels a touch more lively than the similarly-powered Toyota C-HR, though thanks to its slightly heavier weight the Aircross never feels quite as nimble.
Unlike the C3 hatch version, the Aircross does a better job of keeping noise and vibrations from the character-filled engine out of the cabin, making it a more serene cruiser.
Beneath the surface, the Aircross uses a newer platform than the hatch, co-developed with GM, with obvious improvements to refinement and noise suppression factored into the structure.
The narrow and constantly winding Corsican roads also revealed a very light steering weight, but with surprising responsiveness, making the little SUV a fun car to punt along enthusiastically.
A final verdict on ride will have to wait for a thorough analysis on Aussie roads, but across similar surfaces and conditions the C3 Aircross once again showed its dedication to comfort, riding out patchy sections of road with a plush ride quality that's sure to impress.
Interestingly, despite utilising a traditional torque converter automatic, the six-speed transmission in the C3 Cactus tends to behave more like a dual-clutch auto, with a slight pause before engaging from standstill, but less low-speed jitteriness.
For when the going gets tough, the C3 Aircross comes with Grip Control to further its moderate off-road abilities even if it is only available with a front-drive configuration.
Focussed on the stability control system, Grip Control allows either more wheel slip for progress in sandy conditions, or tighter control to allow controlled takeoffs on ice, with settings for mud and gravel too. Downhill Assist Control is also part of the package.
Although it won't magically allow the C3 Aircross to tackle tough off-road packages, it can at least help out over light-duty variable terrain.
Citroen's toughest trick will be getting the C3 Aircross comfortably positioned within its range. Although the C4 Cactus is bigger, the Aircross is likely to follow the lead of the recently announced C3 hatch and come highly-specified with premium pricing.
Unlike in Europe, where Citroen has positioned itself as an accessible brand, Australians continue to be served a near-premium price and while final details are a long way from being announced Citroen's local distributer has suggested that the Aircross could sit above the $29,990 plus on-road price of the Cactus automatic in Australia.
That's a shame, as where fellow small SUVs often start at no more than the $25k mark, Citroen looks to have turned its back on volume once again. Buyers that are prepared to spend that kind of money will no doubt be impressed by what they get, but they will remain in an exclusive group.

Female Knights Can Now Joust at British Castles
Oli Scarff/Getty
For nearly 1000 years, jousting tournaments have attracted some of the most elite men in England to compete one-on-one. Now the BBC reports that female knights will be free to participate in the sport at British castles for the first time this summer.
Jousting originated in the Middle Ages as a way for knights to show off their combat and horsemanship skills in mock battles. Tournaments had largely faded away by the mid-17th century, but the tradition has since been revived for tourists to enjoy at castles across Britain. These games have stayed true to tradition by featuring exclusively male competitors, but now Bolsover, Kenilworth, Pendennis, and Carisbrooke castles have all opened the event up to lady knights.
Emily Sewell, the head of events for English Heritage, told the BBC that the decision was made so that visitors would have the chance to see the "most accomplished knights on the circuit."
Knights competing this summer thanks to the new announcement include Alix van Zijl and Nicky Willis. Willis, who will be jousting at Pendennis and Kenilworth, told the BBC, "Kenilworth is famed for some of the most elaborate tournaments in medieval England–as well as playing host to one of England's strongest women, Queen Elizabeth I–so it's the perfect place to sort the women from the boys." Kenilworth Castle's next "Grand Medieval Joust" will take place this weekend.

What are standards in lesson plan?
Standards are milestones. They set reasonable expectations for what students can achieve at each grade level. And standards help schools evaluate the effectiveness of their programs. To some extent, standards should inform instruction.
What are the different learning standards?
Learning standards are concise, written descriptions of what students are expected to know and be able to do at a specific stage of their education. Subject areas: Learning standards are typically organized by subject area—e.g., English language arts, mathematics, science, social studies, health and wellness, etc.
How do you write a standard lesson plan?
How do teachers use standards to develop lesson plans?
Teachers must first determine which state standards will be addressed within a specific unit. Using state and Common Core standards, teachers can then create objectives for each individual lesson based on their unique curriculum and knowledge of their students' capabilities.

What are examples of standards?
The definition of a standard is something established as a rule, example or basis of comparison. An example of standard is a guideline governing what students must learn in the 7th grade. An example of standard is a piece of music that continues to be played throughout the years. Normal, familiar, or usual.
How do standards work?
A standard is a repeatable, harmonised, agreed and documented way of doing something. Standards result from collective work by experts in a field and provide a consensus at the time when the standards are developed.
How many teachers standards are there?
Appraisal protocols make it clear that the eight statutory standards for teaching only will be applied to the appraisal of teaching. The Teachers' Standards are organised into three main sections. Part One is comprised of eight Standards that relate to teaching.

How should teachers use standards?
The use of standards to streamline instruction ensures that teaching practices deliberately focus on agreed upon learning targets. Expectations for student learning are mapped out with each prescribed standard. Teachers follow standards based instruction to ensure that their students meet the demands targeted.
How do standards help in the classroom?
Standards spell out what students are expected to learn in each grade and each subject. Each state Department of Education creates standards for schools within the state. These standards become the basis for the way teachers are trained, what they teach and what is on state standardized tests that students take.
What is performance standard in lesson plan?
Performance Standards are concrete statements of how well students must learn what is set out in the content standards, often called the "be able to do" of "what students should know and be able to do" Performance standards specify "how good is good enough." They are the indicators of quality that specify how adept or

Creating opportunity from food waste
Real change is happening across the entire food supply chain
by Prof Andy Lowe
As you sit down to your next meal, concerns about food waste are probably furthest from your mind.
But instead of just making you feel guilty about it – and heaven knows there are enough issues flying around at the moment to cover off on that emotion – lets look at what can be done about food waste.
For many environmental issues (climate change, habitat clearance) there is a sense of actionable paralysis – the feeling that it doesn't really matter what an individual does, the problem is still going to get worse. But for food waste, the issues can be directly addressed by individuals across the entire food supply chain, and can help save you money too.
…the issues can be directly addressed by individuals across the entire food supply chain, and can help save you money too.
But before we get to the solutions lets just reflect on the scale of the food waste issue. The United Nations Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO) has estimated that a third of all food produced globally is wasted, equivalent to 1.3B tonnes of food. That's a lot of wasted food and is the reason that one of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals is to halve food waste by 2030. Australia alone wastes $20B of food a year, and the country performs worse than the global average, with up to 40% of the food produced lost at the point of production, manufacture, processing, wholesale or consumption.
So back to what we can do about it, and come with me on a journey back through your typical food supply chain – from home, or the restaurant, back through your supermarket or food supplier, back through the food processing plant, and finally to the farmers field – and see the range of practical and new and innovative ways that we can all help reduce food waste.
At home or in the restaurant
'On average each Australian household wastes about $3,800 of food a year', says Associate Professor David Pearson from Central Queensland University, and previous Head of Research at food rescue charity OzHarvest. 'But there is a lot we can do to reduce food waste at home and which can also save on our grocery bills. There are simple things like meal planning and targeted shopping, to fridge layout that can help reduce food waste.'
'The amount of food we currently waste is unforgivable especially when we consider that in Australia 65,000 people will go hungry for at least one meal despite the best efforts of food relief charities such as Ozharvest and Food Bank'.
Here are some simple ways to reduce food waste at home (there are more suggestions on the Ozharvest website):
Before sitting down for dinner, the effort starts by planning meals and only buying the food that is on the list and then organising the fridge and staggering meals through the festive season so that more perishable products are eaten first;
Using leftovers for future meals or sharing with friends and neighbours;
Put food scraps into your green bin or better still home-compost them. In the US there are now several composting services who vie for your food waste and planet ark give some useful tips on the topic of home-compositing;
If you eat out of at a restaurant and can't finish your meal, insist on a doggy bag to take home unfinished food;
Ask the restaurant or café you eat at what their food waste strategy is. There are many food waste pick up services available for such establishments, from meal provision for food rescue charities through to composting services. Encourage your local eatery to use these services.
'Toast' has been very successful and boasts reusing nearly 1 million slices of surplus bread to brew more than 300,000 litres of beer
At the supermarket, grocers or food wholesaler
'Supermarkets handle large quantities of food and waste is a big problem' says Valeria Torok of the South Australian Research and Development Institute. 'Food waste is also the third most important issue that supermarket customers are concerned about – after provision of fresh food and supporting local farmers. Clearly food safety is a critical issue, but sell-by dates can be too conservative leading to good food being thrown out. In addition the exacting standards of supermarkets and their belief that customers require perfect fruit or veg can mean that perfectly good produce is rejected. Supermarkets can also help support food relief charities with products that are close to or beyond the sell by dates, but still fit for human consumption.'
Novel products can also be produced directly from food waste. In the UK, surplus bread from supermarkets and bakeries is used to make beer and sold under the brand name 'Toast'. The product has been very successful and boasts reusing nearly 1 million slices of surplus bread to brew more than 300,000 litres of beer, and will be available in Australia soon.

So here are some top tips to reduce food waste at the supermarket
Support supermarkets or grocers who relax their standards of perfect fruit and vegetables (a major cause of food waste higher up the food supply chain), since we are all alot more tolerant of the way these products look as long as they're fresh and taste good. Take for example the success of Woolies Odd Bunch that sells misshapen fruit and veg.
Buy products which are on special offer because they are close to their sell-by date
Ask the supermarkets what their food waste strategy is, and whether they contribute to food rescue charities or use composting services.
Buy products made from recycled food products.

At the food processing or packaging centre
At the moment, the environmental impact of packaging is coming under increasing scrutiny, particularly around plastics and the bans on exporting materials for recycling overseas. 'What is getting lost in the debates is the role that packaging plays in containing and protecting food from farm to fork, and ultimately reducing food waste' says Associate Professor Karli Verghese, of RMIT University. 'There are many ways in which we can ensure that the appropriate packaging materials are selected and that product quality and shelf life is maintained. These functions need to be designed and balanced in conjunction with the manufacture and waste management of packaging at end of life.'
We can shop fresh at farmers markets and use jars and other "old-fashioned" methods to keep food fresh (e.g. see this Conversation piece 'How to have yourself a plastic free Christmas'), but in our convenience-orientated world the key priority will be to replace plastics in packaging with more biodegradable products. There are tremendous innovations occurring in this space with bioplastics and other biodegradable products being produced to replace plastic packaging, some of them made from food waste themselves, such as starch and cellulose. And we are seeing new companies popping up to take advantage of this new market opportunity and customer preferences, such as Tipa.
companies like Tipa are rising to the challenge and taking advantage of customer preferences for compostable and degradable packaging
'Other exciting new products can be produced directly from fruit and vegetables offcuts or those that don't make it onto the supermarket shelf', says Associate Professor Bronwyn Laycock, from the University of Queensland. 'Instead of sending potato peelings, tomato skins, grape pips and almost any other by-product of food processing to landfill, we are able to refine these products to produce a range of vitamins, minerals and nutraceutical additives and cosmetics. We are trialling these biotransformation and chemical engineering processes at pilot scale to start with, but then working with major companies such as Swisse to go into large-scale manufacturing of such products. Even the water extracted from vegetables and fruit can go into soups, stocks, juices and even high-end healthy water products such as Aquabotanical.'
Here are some products to look out for that have incorporated what would otherwise would have been wasted food:
Select products with biodegradable packaging that still keep products fresh. (This supermarket in the Netherlands is making plastic-free a priority)
Look out for and support novel products produced from parts or whole fruit or vegetables that would have otherwise been wasted.
Shop fresh at farmers markets and use jars and other "old-fashioned" methods to keep food fresh
At the farm
I expect many Australians have seen the ABC's War on Waste program – do you remember the mountains of rotting bananas in the fields in Queensland rejected because they were the wrong size and shape? We hear a lot about the need to improve agricultural methods to increase the amount of food we produce and to breed new varieties of crops to cope with changing environmental conditions. But if we just reduced the amount of food lost and wasted, this would increase global food security in a much faster and more direct way, not to mention being cheaper and more environmentally friendly.
'Most of our current food waste goes into land fill or is ploughed back into the ground where it emits huge amounts of greenhouse gases, mostly methane' says Professor Vincent Bulone of University of Adelaide. 'If food waste was a country, it would be the third biggest emitter of greenhouse gases in the world, behind only the US and China. A lot of water is also wasted in growing the food that ends up as waste. In fact over 1,460 GL of water is wasted each year in this way in Australia – almost the required savings under the Murray-Darling Basin Plan.'

There is a lot we can do to reduce waste from agricultural production. If agricultural food waste collection can be coordinated, even regionally or at a landscape scale, it makes it cost effect to turn agricultural waste into new products, for example:
Fruit or vegetables that wouldn't normally make the quality cut for supermarkets can be sold directly for processed food products, soup, stews, stocks etc
A range of vegetables can be used directly as animal feed
Offcuts of meat or fish can be broken down by soldier flies and other larvae to produce insect protein products
Otherwise unused vegetable and fruit pieces can be used to produce fertiliser and compost
And once every other useful product has been extracted from food waste the organic matter can be transformed into energy products such as biocoal and biodiesel through a range of chemical engineering procedures such as torrefaction, which can even be set up as generators run on individual farms
'Solving these food waste issues would generate a new circular economy, making food waste into a valuable commodity in its own right, the by-product of which would be reduced food waste' says Dr Steve Lapidge, Chief Executive of the Fight Food Waste Cooperative Research Centre.
'Globally our collective conscience has been woken up to food waste, and we are now seeing major campaigns running in a number of countries to combat food waste, such as the Love Food Hate Waste campaign in the UK by the Waste & Resource Action Programme (WRAP). We are also increasingly seeing research being used to develop new and valuable by-products from food waste which can be the basis of new industries.'
'The Australian Government recently approved our new Cooperative Research Centre to Fight Food Waste. The program matches $34M of industry and partner cash contributions with another $30M of federal funding and $57M of in-kind contributions from the partners. This program will be the biggest research & development program to combat food waste in the world, and has close to 60 partners including Swisse Wellness, Foodbank Australia, KPMG and Woolworths, and a range of nationally leading research partners, including the South Australian Research and Development Institute, Queensland Department of Agriculture and Fisheries, and the Adelaide, Queensland, Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology and Central Queensland.'
Together these partners are seeking to
Reduce food waste by working with food relief charities to more efferently redistribute edible food to families in need of support. Other projects will look at how packaging can be made more sustainable and move away from plastic to more biodegradable materials.
Transform food wasteby examining the conversion of food waste into other high value products, such as – animal feed, preserved or processed foods, refined additives and nutraceuticals, cosmetics, energy – biocoal and biodiesel, and fertiliser and compost
Engage ina campaign to highlight the problem of and solutions to food waste with consumers and train the next generation of professionals to take the food waste economy forward.
So the future of food waste looks promising – or perhaps not that promising for the actual food waste – and through such initiatives we should see the United Nations sustainability goal, which aims to cut food waste in half by 2030, achieved and possibly even surpassed.

Another great and thought provoking article -thank you.
Seeing your name prompted me to let you know I'm working with ABL Green, a company headed up by a disciple of regenerative agriculture – Mike McCormack. I'm helping them to raise funding for the commercialisation of its IP related to barley seed based fodder production and biological based soil remediation/regeneration products (inoculants). I've attached an Investment Brief I prepared and a summary paper.
If you have any thoughts on potential SA investors, I would love to have them. However, I know you have a general interest in the area and I'd be happy to connect you with Mike if you wanted to talk to him.
Best wishes to you and the family.

Thai rulings fuel election talk, PM not worried
Pracha Hariraksapitak
BANGKOK, July 9 (Reuters) - Thai Prime Minister Samak Sundaravej shrugged off doubts about the stability of his five-month-old government on Wednesday, a day after two court rulings fuelled speculation of fresh elections.
Tuesday's rulings piled more pressure on the six-party coalition government, already weakened by a prolonged street campaign which has unsettled investors, but Samak declined to say how he would counter fresh moves by his opponents to oust him.
"I am listening to all the criticism and will tell the people what I think on my Sunday TV show," Samak told reporters, refering to his weekly television programme.
The opposition Democrat Party and several senators said they would file separate petitions to impeach the cabinet after the Constitutional Court said Bangkok's support for Cambodia's bid to list a 900-year-old temple as a World Heritage site was illegal.
Opponents of ousted Thai prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra have whipped up a nationalist frenzy over the Preah Vihear temple, which many Thais believe belongs to Thailand, to try to kick out the pro-Thaksin government elected in December.
Also on Tuesday, a top leader of Samak's People Power Party (PPP) was found guilty of vote buying in the December poll and banned from politics for 5 years, a ruling that could lead to the dissolution of the main party in the coalition government.
The legal defeats will force the government to focus on its political survival at a precarious time for the economy, as it faces soaring inflation and stuttering growth, analysts said.
The main stock index .SETI rose 1.7 percent on Wednesday as bargain hunters jumped into a depressed market.
But analysts said the long-term outlook was poor, with the index down more than 16 percent since a street campaign against Samak's government began on May 25.
"Although many stocks now look cheap, there should be further downside to the market as a whole," Thanachart strategist Pimpaka Nichgaroon said in a research note, predicting "more bad news is on the way".
ELECTION TALK
Leaders of the People's Alliance for Democracy (PAD), whose 2005 street campaign eventually led to the 2006 putsch against Thaksin, cheered the court verdicts and vowed to continue their rallies until the government quit.
Thanachart's Pimpaka said there was a good chance Samak would dissolve parliament "within this quarter" to avoid the possible disbanding of his party.
The conviction of deputy PPP leader Yongyut Tiyapairat for vote buying paved the way for the Election Commission to probe whether the party was involved.
The EC could then pass its findings to the Constitutional Court, which could disband the PPP as happened to Thaksin's former Thai Rak Thai party (Thais Love Thais) after the coup.
Thai newspapers have reported that the PPP, which won the most votes in December on an avowedly pro-Thaksin ticket, would form a new party to cobble together another ruling coalition, or, if necessary, seek a fresh mandate from voters.
Other analysts said a snap election was unlikely, but Samak might shuffle his cabinet to buy time.
With several more court cases coming to a head in July, the struggle between Thaksin's supporters and his opponents in the military and royalist establishment for control of Thailand's future looks set to drag on, analysts say.
"The ongoing political wrangles serve to reinforce our cautious view on Thailand and we continue to believe that a market friendly resolution is unlikely for the foreseeable future," Goldman Sachs said in a note to clients.

The Founder of America's Earliest Lesbian Bar Was Deported for Obscenity
Eve Adams was eventually murdered at Auschwitz.

The Founder of America's Earliest Lesbian Bar Was Deported for Obscenity

It took Officer Margaret Leonard three tries to get her hands on Eve Adams' book of lesbian short stories. We don't know what, exactly, the New York Police Department officer experienced when she first slunk undercover into Eve Adams' Tearoom at 129 MacDougal Street. But it's easy to imagine a group of artists gathered under gleaming electric lights on a hot June night, reciting poetry or discussing the latest performances in the Provincetown Playhouse next door. Leonard's mission was simple: to "catch" Adams "in the act" of lesbianism, either by eliciting a romantic move or by finding evidence of obscenity. Lesbian Love, a book of short stories Adams had self-published and distributed among friends, was just the evidence Leonard needed to have the tearoom proprietor arrested.
Established in 1925, Eve Adams' Tearoom, also known as Eve's Hangout, was one of the hottest nightlife spots in New York City's flapper-era West Village. While the establishment is often remembered as a speakeasy, Barbara Kahn, who has done extensive research on Adams and wrote three plays about her life, says the lack of police allegations of alcohol possession suggest that it really did serve tea. But more was on tap at Eve's Hangout than just after-theater beverages. A magnet for the The Village's diversity, the tearoom was an open space for Jewish and immigrant intellectuals, who weren't always welcome in the xenophobic cultural life of the time. Above all, it was a safe space for women, who frequently could not venture into restaurants without a male guardian, and particularly for lesbians. The tearoom's ethos was summed up in a sign that greeted visitors: "Men are admitted but not welcome."
"It was probably a joke," says Kahn of the sign. After all, male cultural figures frequented the tea room. Still, Eve's Hangout was undoubtedly a safe space for queer women, and hosted after-hours, locked-doors meetings, where women-loving women could share their experiences without fear of censorship or discrimination. Ironic or not, the sign reflects Eve's Hangout's historical significance. Despite the tea room's popularity, the story of its proprietor was lost to the public for decades. But amid current efforts to retrace LGBTQ cultural history, researchers such as Barbara Kahn are restoring Adam's tearoom to its place of honor as one of the first lesbian establishments in the United States.

Tea and poetry kept the Hangout going, but Eve Adams was its soul. Described by commentators as "the queen of the third sex" for her masculine appearance (language commonly used at the time), Adams was popular among the bohemian literary figures of 1920s New York. Born Chawa Czlotcheber (sometimes spelled Zlocsewer, Zlotchever, or Kotchever) to a Jewish family in Mlawa, Poland, Adams immigrated to the United States as a young woman in 1912, and spent several years traveling before settling in Manhattan's Washington Square. At some point, she Anglicized her first name to "Eve" and took "Adams" as her chosen last name. The name, writes George Chauncey in his history of gay New York culture, was "an androgynous pseudonym whose biblical origins her Protestant persecutors might well have found blasphemous."
Adams was just one of many 1920s New York artists and writers who lived political and sexual lives that went against the mold. Eve counted many of these figures among her friends: author Henry Miller, whose work was frequently banned and to whom she loaned money when his wealthy mistress couldn't front his bills; Anaïs Nin, whose crystal-sharp stories are full of lesbian tension; Emma Goldman, the New York labor activist whose practice of free love was as famous as her anarchism. While Adams, likely due to her sexuality and immigration status, lacks the fame of these companions, she and her tearoom were popular among this elite cultural crowd.
Like all women ahead of their time, Eve Adams also made enemies. Chief among them: Bobby Edwards. A writer for the Greenwich Village Quill, where he covered society life, Edwards didn't like the increasing gay and immigrant presence in the village. "He was an all-purpose bigot," says Kahn. He wasn't the only one. "There were tour buses that would go down to the Village to see all these terrible places: all these bohemians, all these 'perverts,'" Kahn says.

While Bobby Edwards covered events at Eve's Hangout, he spared no kindness for Adams herself. "Eve's Hangout," he wrote in a June 1926 guide to Village clubs, "Where ladies prefer each other. Not very healthy for she-adolescents, nor comfortable for he-men." This animosity is why, when police raided Eve's Hangout in 1926, word on the cobblestoned Village Streets was that Edwards had something to do with it.
At the time, police raids targeting local speakeasies were common. In Adams' case, however, the NYPD's tactic was decidedly personal. After spotting the undercover cop at Eve's Hangout, on June 11, 1926, Eve Adams finally asked Margaret Leonard to the theater. Later, Leonard alleged that Adams took her dancing, held her too close, and "had her hand on my bosom" in the cab. Worse, said Leonard, Adams had invited her up to her bedroom and ostensibly threw her onto a bed and, according to a police report, "attempted to commit the crime of conenlinguism." At this point, Leonard left the scene and phoned the police station. She had slipped out with what seemed, to the morality police of New York City, a Sapphic smoking gun: a copy of Lesbian Love, a collection of short stories that Adams had printed in a small run. (Several copies of the book exist today, though they're privately owned; Kahn says one went missing, possibly purloined, from the Yale library a couple years ago.)
Cops arrested Adams at her Hangout that night. She was charged with obscenity and disorderly conduct, and sent to a New York workhouse for six months. An uncle in Hartford offered to post $1,000 bail, but the City of New York wouldn't take it. Instead, immigration and police authorities pursued "evidence" of Adams' sexual orientation, including a letter from Adams' neighbor, Jay Fitzpatrick, alleging she regularly brought young women to her apartment for sex. "I know personally of decent girls who have been corrupted by this woman," Fitzgerald wrote.

In a twist of fate, Adams crossed paths with another notable woman in jail, Mae West. The famous writer had been sentenced to 10 days imprisonment for the alleged obscenity of her acclaimed Broadway play, Sex. While West dined with the wardens and was quickly released, Adams was deported to Poland in 1927. For Kahn, the reason for the difference in treatment was clear: The United States government had no sympathy for an immigrant, Jewish lesbian. "I love this country with my whole heart and soul, and I have made application for my final papers. I want to become a citizen," Adams said in a deposition. "If I am deported, my life is ruined."
As with many immigrants who fled persecution, the facts of Adams' life sometimes fall out of focus. Look Adams up online, and you'll find a dust storm of apocrypha about the era after her deportation. Some say Adams opened another tea room in Paris and studied at the Sorbonne. Some say she went to Spain in the 1930s to join the struggle against Franco or to report on the Spanish Civil War. Kahn, who has tracked down her deportation records and found mentions of her in the letters of Paris-based cultural figures, says there's no evidence she ever went to Spain. Instead, it seems this story has origins in Adams' family, some of whom said that she had left the U.S. voluntarily to fight fascism.
What we know for sure is that, by the early 1930s, Eve Adams had saved up enough money to move from Poland to Paris. At first, life in the romantic, lamplit city was as electric as it had been in 1920s New York. Adams remained part of a circle of bohemian artists, and made a living selling English literature to tourists and expats. She had sold avant garde literature from her New York tearoom, and in Paris—in homage to the censorship that had cost her a home in the United States—she specialized in the banned. In letters between her and Henry Miller, there are mentions of her selling his book Tropic of Cancer, and complaints from Adams that people couldn't get enough of Lady Chatterley's Lover. (D.H. Lawrence was a notable homophobe.)
In a deposition, Adams stated, "I love this country with my whole heart and soul … I want to become a citizen." Sarah Lee Grillo
But the antisemitism and homophobia that had already uprooted Adams found her again. In 1940, the Nazis marched into Paris. Like many Parisian Jews, Adams fled to southern France. She desperately sought help from friends and foreign governments, but with only an expired Polish passport and a discontinued American citizenship application, she had no luck. Some of her family members in Poland had already been displaced or murdered by Nazis.
Adams was in Nice when Nazi officer Alois Brunner assumed control of the territory in 1943. She was rounded up alongside hundreds of other Jews. Allied pressure was building; by August 1944, thousands of Allied soldiers would land on beaches in southern France. But by then, many of Nice's Jewish residents had already been captured. After her deportation, Adams was held briefly at a transit camp in France before being sent onward. Like other immigrants and refugees to whom the United States denied residence, in 1943, just two years before the camp was liberated, Eve Adams, the beloved proprietor of one of the world's first lesbian restaurants, was murdered at Auschwitz.
