Xpeng Motors has dropped a teaser previewing its latest model that's set to premiere at the Shanghai Auto Show next month.
Xpeng first came across our radar with the release of the G3 SUV last year. Since then, the Chinese electric car manufacturer has been developing a new four-door sedan which it dubs a "mass production model." The vehicle, codenamed E28, has been pencilled in for a commercial launch at the end of 2019.
Limited details about its electric powertrain have been provided, but Xpeng claims that the E28 will come equipped with Nvidia's AI supercompeting platform which supports Level 3 autonomous driving features. The E28 is also set to have an impressive driving range as well as decent levels of performance.
Visually, the single teaser image of the vehicle provided and the various shots of E28 prototypes reveal that the sedan will have a sleek design with a short front overhang, frameless doors, concealed door handles, and a panoramic sunroof. There's also a very short rear decklid and a small lip spoiler on the trunk.
Xpeng will confirm more details regarding the vehicle in the coming weeks leading up to the Shanghai Auto Show.
Name is 小鹏 (Xiao Peng), make sense why it's Xpeng.
But how do you pronounce Xpeng?
IT LOOKS LIKE A MODEL 3 IN SILHOUETTE.

You can see some results of cosmetic work we've done in our photo albums.
This is only a partial list of the cosmetic services available to you. In order to help you decide on cosmetic treatment, we offer complimentary cosmetic consultations and smile design analysis. Please ask Dr. Qui about any service that you may be interested in!
What makes an extraordinary cosmetic result?
There are so many factors that contribute to achieving the best possible cosmetic result, all of which must be discussed prior to treatment. To create a natural and harmonious esthetic solution, we must consider not only the teeth size, shape, color and orientation, but also the gum tissue size and shape (because the gums frame the teeth), the lip smile line and angle (because the lips frame the gums and teeth), and the overall head and face shape. Thorough evaluation and planning will prevent the all-too-often result of teeth that are too white, too thick, too square and lined up like a white picket fence.
Whether it is teeth whitening, tooth reshaping, gum reshaping, porcelain veneers or crowns, our planning process will help you avoid these pitfalls. A natural, healthy, bright smile is what you want...and we can help you get it.

Whether you want to watch sports, shop from a street fair, go out to eat or meet a new giraffe friend, there are plenty of ways to have fun this weekend.

PORTLAND, Oregon — It's the middle of summer, and that's a great time to be in Portland, even in the middle of a global pandemic.
The normal Portland summer activities are still happening, they all just look a bit different this year.
Blazers basketball is back, Timbers soccer is too, and even brunch is still a thing!
So whether you want to watch sports, shop from a street fair, go out to eat or meet a new giraffe friend, there are plenty of ways to have fun this weekend.
Here are 8 things to do this weekend in Portland:
Shop Hawthorne Blvd. from home
Credit: www.hawthorneblvd.com
Summer in Portland is usually full of fun street fairs. But this year, street fairs are going virtual just like everything else. The Hawthorne Street Fair is turning into Hawthorne at Home, which kicks off this Sunday! You can shop online from local vendors, listen to music and order food from Hawthorne restaurants.
When: Sunday, August 23 at 11 a.m. through November 30
Where: Online
Go to a drive-in movie
Drive-in movie theaters are making a comeback! We can't go to indoor movie theaters (ah, the air conditioning sounds so nice right now) this summer, but we can drive up to some awesome movie venues around the state! In Oregon, we're lucky to have a few permanent drive-in theaters, but this summer, a bunch of businesses have turned into temporary drive-ins!
Watch the video above or click the link below for the details on when and where to go.

Eat fish and chips from a new restaurant
Three local names that you'll probably recognize just joined forces to open a new spot to enjoy New England-style fish and chips with a Northwest personality. It's called Rock, Paper, Fish, from Craig Peterson (of Ringside Steakhouse), Micah Camden (of Blue Star Donuts, SuperDeluxe, and BAES Fried Chicken) and Ndamukong Suh (of the NFL!).
The menu includes Pacific halibut fish and chips, Oregon albacore fish and chips, New England clam chowder, vegetarian artichoke "crab cakes" and more. The new spot has a takeout window for now and is also available for delivery.
When: Wednesday through Sunday, 11 a.m. to 9 p.m.
Where: Rock, Paper Fish - 2605 East Burnside Street (or order delivery through DoorDash)
Meet the newest giraffe at the Oregon Zoo!
The Oregon Zoo opened back up a few weeks ago, with new safety measures in place - and a new giraffe! KGW's Drew Carney got to meet Kiden earlier this month, but now you can too! The 11-foot tall 2-year-old arrived in Portland back in April, and now she's finally able to meet visitors!
When: See the Oregon Zoo's full schedule here
Where: Oregon Zoo, 4001 SW Canyon Rd
Watch the Trail Blazers in the NBA Playoffs!
The Blazers are in the NBA Playoffs! It's round one and we're up against the Los Angeles Lakers. And OH MAN has this been a fun series to watch so far (OK fine, I'm writing this after game 1, but that was a GOOD game!).
It's a best of seven series, so there's much more to watch. And when you watch Saturday and Monday's games (games 3 and 4, respectively), look closely at the fans in the stands - er, virtual stands. For "home games" (yes, all of the games are being played in Orlando, Florida, but there are still designated home games for each team), the Blazers get to have their own virtual fans on huge screens in the arena. Watch the video above to see how my time as a virtual fan went - it was way too fun!
When: Game 2: Thursday at 6 p.m.; Game 3: Saturday at 5:30 p.m.; Game 4: Monday at 6 p.m.
RELATED: Pundits heap praise on Blazers after Game 1 win, Charles Barkley predicts a Portland sweep
Watch the Timbers!
Fresh off their win in the MLS is Back tournament, the Portland Timbers are playing at Providence Park on Sunday, for the first time in 168 days. And they'll be doing it against the Seattle Sounders, which is always an exciting rivalry, even when fans won't be there in the stands.
When: Sunday at 7 p.m.
Get brunch from a pop-up at Vaux
Remember the good old days (can we call it that at this point?) of waiting in line for brunch, then sitting in a restaurant full of what seems like every single Portlander? Obviously brunch outings look a bit different right now - but they're still happening!
Chef Sara Woods has created a special menu for three Sundays in a row for the Vaux Bakeshop Brunch Pop-up. She's serving up gooey cinnamon rolls, soft potato rolls with crispy pork cutlet, yogurt parfaits and more. And of course, mimosas and bloody marys.
When: Sunday, August 23 and Sunday, August 30 - 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.
Where: Vaux (inside the Canopy Hotel), 425 NW 9th Ave
Buy artwork for a good cause
A post shared by Blanchet House On the Ledge (@bhontheledge) on Aug 12, 2020 at 4:39pm PDT
Blanchet House is a nonprofit in downtown Portland working to provide food, clothing and shelter to people in need. And right now there is an art show benefiting the nonprofit's essential services.
On The Ledge is an online art show featuring beautiful prints designed by local artists. Profits of each print will be split between the nonprofit and each artist.

My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic season 7 started airing on Saturday, April 15, 2017. Get a brief email if and when the next season is announced. Make sure to come back to episode.guide where we'll have season recap and discussion.
How many episodes are in season 7 of My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic?
The season consists of 26 episodes. The second half premiered on Saturday, August 5, 2017.
That's like Dimitri Rascalov talking about cookies and milk and not doing any harm. I've seen lots of people hating this show from experience with no/a few episodes, people who love every episode, and people in-between. If the show had ended after "Twilight's Kingdom", then it would have been fine. Needless to say, MLP is kinda not doing well. It's overrated, but also overhated.
8 Comments on "My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic"
Can't wait for this new season!
Exactly when is the airing date for Season 7?

We hope you have all managed to have some relaxing time off in the October holidays, and for those who went away, we hope you enjoyed your holiday!
This has been an interesting and busy time for the children, learning lots about animals - this is still the ongoing topic!
The children will be going on to learn about dogs and why they bark, as well as looking at the different names of baby animals.
The children have been super messy and excitable doing lots of Halloween things! They have been creative with food; making spider biscuits and banana ghosts for snack, as well as making little pumpkins! (HWB 0-30a: Together we enjoy handling, tasting, talking and learning about different foods, discovering ways in which eating and drinking may help us to grow and keep healthy.) The children also did potato printing, creating ghosts and witches hats, developing good hand eye coordination. There were lots of funny faces as the children did feet painting to make their Frankenstein pictures.
In the Busy Bee room we did bobbing for apples, catching the dough rings on the string, and lots of scary face painting too!
The children were involved in different discussions about Bonfire night and fireworks – in particular how to stay safe when watching the bonfire/fireworks, as well as creating firework pictures too, getting all crafty!
We have a lot of exciting things planned, so the children will be super busy getting crafty and learning new facts about Christmas, as well as planning for Santa coming….. as he is watching!! The children will learn all about Christmas and why we celebrate it, and will be doing lots of arts and crafts, getting messy and creative! We are also about to start practicing our Nativity, so your children will most likely be singing Christmas songs to you as early as November!
Our termly trips are now planned and permission slips will be going out in the next couple of weeks! The ante pre-school children are going to 'Den at the Glen' on Monday 7th December and the pre-school children are going to His Majesty's Theatre to see Peter Pan on Thursday 10th December.
Could I please ask that your child does not bring in toys when it is not Sharing day as this is not fair on the other children, and things may get lost. Our 'Show and Tell' dates are both on the website and available on our Busy Bee door, as well as on the parents communication board. Could I please ask that you take your child's toy home at the end of night so the box is empty - this will also help prevent toys getting lost.
The Busy Bees learning wall is situated next to the jacket area, so please take the time to see what your child has been learning about and all the activities they have been participating in. This wall is always full up with lots of photos and work that the busy Bees have been doing. You will also be able to see the progression your children are making throughout this topic and there are always plenty yellow post it notes on the learning wall of the things the children have said during activities.
It is now becoming very cold as winter is near so could I please ask that you supply your child with a hat, gloves and scarfs as well as appropriate outdoor clothing and footwear as the children go outside in all weathers.
Could I please ask that you encourage your child to sign in every morning on the signing in board which is situated next to the parent/guardians singing in/out board or at the mark making table as the children may be using it. This helps to develop your child's mark making skills and letter recognition.
Abricabeats is coming every Tuesday morning to engage the children with role play, musical and physical activities.

In a grounded theory study valuable data can be gathered by observing research participants in natural settings. Field notes and memos are central to this method of data collection. Concurrent data collection and analysis of this data leads to theoretical sampling and decision-making about how best to collect further data in the study. Using observation as an initial method of data collection method in grounded theory studies can shape and sharpen subsequent focus groups and individual interviews.

Labor grappling with how to oppose Adani mine (Australian Financial Review)
By JoshMeadows February 7, 2018 May 27th, 2019 Climate and Finance, Energy Transition, In the media
By Phillip Coorey and Mark Ludlow
Federal Labor has all but resolved to oppose the $16.5 billion Adani coal mine in Queensland's Galilee Basin but is grappling to come up with a rationale to avoid increasing Australia's sovereign risk or exposing the Commonwealth to a compensation claim.
Sources have told The Australian Financial Review that while the shadow cabinet is not split on the issue, there are differing views about how to reach a position of outright opposition given the mine proposal has cleared all state and federal approvals, environmental and otherwise.
It is struggling to secure finance with no major Australian bank interested and the Queensland Labor government vetoing the prospect of Adani securing a $1 billion loan from the federal government's Northern Australia Infrastructure Fund to help build a rail line linking the mine to a port.
Last week, Labor leader Bill Shorten dramatically hardened Labor's position against the mine while announcing former ACTU president Ged Kearney as Labor's candidate for the Batman byelection. Batman, caused by the resignation of David Feeney due to dual citizenship, is at real risk of falling to the Greens.
The government says Labor's policy shift is a naked attempt to stop the Greens winning Batman, at the expense of jobs in Queensland.
"Ged Kearney is now writing the Labor Party's policy," Environment Minister Josh Frydenberg told Parliament.
"The Kearneyistas are in control of the Labor Party."
Shadow cabinet discussed the issue Monday night and it is understood several shadow minsters urged caution in rushing to a final position so as to avoid "unintended consequences".
"It needs to be more than a thought bubble," said one source, adding that trying to block the mine when it had approvals could raise issues of sovereign risk and compensation.
Another said the mine was broadly unpopular around Australia, including in inner-Brisbane seats, which Labor needs to win back at the election.
Mr Shorten hinged Labor's new position on an allegation Adani submitted an altered laboratory report while appealing a fine by the Queensland Department of Environment for contamination of sensitive wetlands near the Great Barrier Reef.
On Tuesday, he expressed doubt the mine would ever go ahead.
"I think there is increasing scepticism as to whether or not the mine will go ahead. It would appear that Adani hasn't managed to convince a single Australian bank to help finance this operation," he said.
"There's also been reports from people who operate in coal mining elsewhere, that they are concerned that this mine would jeopardise the job security of existing coal miners.
"I also believe that we need to make sure that all scientific approvals have been diligently researched."
Environmental Justice Australia chief executive Brendan Sydes said there was a legal pathway available for a future Labor government to kill off the mine, despite having all the approvals.
Mr Sydes said there were historical examples of incoming federal governments finding legal avenues to implement election commitments to protect environmental values. These include the Whitlam government using its power to regulate exports to require an environmental impact assessment of sand mining on Fraser Island. Eventually new environmental laws and the Customs Act lead to the end of sand mining on the island.
Former Labor prime minister Bob Hawke's intervention in 1983 to prevent the Franklin Dam proceeding in Tasmania – with the subsequent High Court case confirming the breadth of Commonwealth legislative powers to intervene in issues previously under state control – was another.
Finally, the Gillard government in 2012 intervened to introduce a permanent ban on super trawlers in Australian waters. The intervention occurred when Labor's current environment spokesman Tony Burke was minister.
A more controversial option, would be a future Labor government to ban coal exports from the Galilee Basin, on environmental grounds.
"In the case of the Adani mine, suspending or cancelling approvals already granted under legislation is not straightforward, but pathways do exist," Mr Sydes said.
He said last year Environmental Justice Australia had written to Mr Frydenberg, on behalf of renowned coral scientist Dr Charlie Veron, asking the minister to use this power under section 145 of the Act to revoke an approval for Adani's mine on the basis of new information about the impact of climate change on the Great Barrier Reef.
"These provisions are complex and rarely used, so interpreting them and working out how they might be employed by a future environment minister to stop a project like the Adani mine is not straightforward," he said.
"From a legal perspective, it may be unwise for the ALP to be too specific in its commitment to use these powers. A very specific election commitment may be viewed as having brought a 'closed mind' to a matter of legislative discretion and may leave the decision vulnerable to future legal challenge."
Queensland Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk played down speculation of a rift with Mr Shorten when it came to Adani, saying the ball was in the Indian company's court to find the funds to finance the project.
"In the discussions I have personally had with him, we both share the same views that the finances of the company need to stack up," Ms Palaszczuk said on Tuesday.
"The company has an obligation just like every other company in this state does to stick to his obligations."

SCIENCE FAIR 2017
Peel Region and Canada Wide Science Fairs
Peel Region Science Fair 2017 was a successful event held on April 25 & 26 at UTM (University of Toronto at Mississauga) with the participation of about 120 students and 100 projects. The participants are students ranging from Grade 7 to Grade 12 enrolled in the Peel region. The projects included navigation for the visually impaired using cellphone and software, smart helmet to detect minor brain damage, harnessing tidal energy for power and water desalination.
A team of 12 students among the award winners qualified for and were chosen to represent the Peel region at the Canada Wide Science Fair (CWSF) held at the University of Regina, Saskatchewan during May 14 to 20. There were about 500 students from across Canada who participated in CWSF 2017.
The Peel team had an outstanding success at CWSF with 10 students (out of 12 who participated) winning awards that included 1 Gold, 1 Silver and 5 Bronze. The best project at our Science Fair in Mississauga also won the Gold and a Special award, " Youth Can Innovate " at CWSF. The students developed a navigation system for the visually impaired using software and cellphone.
Editor's Note: A big "thank you" to Krish Murti who has guided the Peel Regional Science Fair for many years. The success of this project, and therefore of the many students who have benefitted from it over the years, is very largely due to Krish's efforts.

Mississauga Lakeshore Club programmes
Posted by Brian Dixon on Apr 04, 2017
The community events which have long been a part of the Mississauga Lakeshore Club's activities, will be continuing in 2017 as part of the newly combined club. (Of course, events such as Camp Enterprise, which have long been part of the tradition for both clubs, will also be continuing.) We look forward to the opportunities for all our members to work together on the following:
Richard's Memorial Park
Participation will continue in 2017
Mississauga Marathon
Caroling in the Park
After 43 years, a continuance of support will occur for The Compass as food hampers are filled at this event
This event will continue in 2017.
Again this summer (2017) on Friday evenings in July and August, Movies in the Park will be held in Memorial Park in Port Credit. Movies are family in nature and begin at dusk. While admission is free, donations are welcome to assist in deferring the costs. More pictures are available in the Photo Albums.
For more information please go to the Movies in the Park website (http://www.rotarymovienights.com/).
Support for Armagh House
Armagh house is a "first of its class" Second-stage , or transitional housing, that provides support for women who have left abusive relationships, helping them make plans for independent living.
The Lakeshore Club has been actively supporting Armagh House over the years, whether it is with supplies, room renovations, or other services. This service will also be continuing. For more information visit www.armaghhouse.ca.

50th. Anniversary project approaches completion
UPDATE UPDATE UPDATE
Our Club's 50th. Anniversary project, the basketball court for disadvantaged youth at Colonial Terrace in Erin Mills is essentially complete - it's just missing the planned Rotary plaque!. In cooperation with the City of Mississauga and Maple Leaf Sports & Entertainment (MLSE) a court for basketball and other sports was opened with a big bash on Friday, October 7.
This has been far from a smooth process - there have been numerous delays and misunderstandings which delayed the official opening,
Much credit is due to our former president, Rick Blake, who has shepherded this project since it was first proposed, and now sees his efforts coming to fruition. Thank you, Rick.
There was a barbecue (courtesy of Maple Lodge Farms) and other booths to make October 7 a very special day. Several hundred youth were present at the opening ceremony or checked it out in the first few hours of its being open. In addition to a great turnout of faces from our Club, local youth leaders, representatives fro MLSE and from the City of Mississauga were all present.
There are numerous pictures of the event on our Club's Facebook page.

Exchange Student up-date.
Rotary's student exchange programme is one of our most popular programmes; there will be discussions soon as to whether our club can support in in-bound student from Australia starting in January (the beginning of the school year in the southern hemisphere).
In the meantime, we have news both from our out-bound student to Finland, Kyle, and from our in-bound student, Tyler, who is from New Zealand. Kyle is having a great time, but understandably, finding the language tough. He has sent a picture of a banner exchange with his host Rotary Club. Tyler, our in-bound student from New Zealand has been on a canoe trip, sponsored by the Rotary Club of Peterborough-Kaartha, designed to build cross-cultural links with our first Nations people. Here is a link to information about the trip from the Peterborough Club: http://portal.clubrunner.ca/220/Stories/six-day-canoe-trip
The Peterborough television station carried a news item about the trip, including a brief interview with Tyler: Click here to watch: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jww7f8UkRks

Lobsterfest 2015 was held on Saturday, May 23 2015.
The biggest fundraiser of the year operated by our club alone was again very successful. Nearly 500 happy people enjoyed fresh PEI lobster, good wine, and good music. Although the amount raised is not yet finalized, Lobsterfest will enable our club to continue its support of many worthwhile charities in Mississauga and further afield.
Thanks to everyone - participants and Rotarians - for your hard work and support.

News from our exchange student.
NOTE: Travis has now returned, and has given us a personal account of his year in Italy. However, his written account from earlier in the year is being left accessible as if you have a young family member or friend thinking about an exchange programme, Travis's description may be all the inspiration they need! (It's lengthy, but too good to edit!) For some excellent pictures, click HERE
From deep in the Italian Po river valley:
January 27th... it's January 27th! Where has the time gone? So much has changed in my 5 months here that I can hardly imagine my life before exchange. Italy is no longer a series of facts and numbers crammed into my head with jumbled notes about the renaissance and a picture of Venice and the Coliseum. No, Italy has come to be a series of beautiful people and amazing memories irreversibly intertwined with my own life. No longer does thinking about this place make me nervous about the future and doubt my abilities. Today I am fully confident I will be fluent in Italian by the time of my return. Moreover, I feel like I could go anywhere in the world and find some niche in which I could successfully apply myself. Months of relative isolation and hardship from a lack of language skills and homesickness have given way to a liberating sense of individuality and freedom of petty worries. My high school years, with all their drama and anxieties, seem nearly insignificant. These five months have been the beginning of a new life in which I am simultaneously the most individual I have ever been and the most dependent on good character of those I meet in my travels.
My current host family, the Albertonis have done so much for me since I arrived. My host father Franco truly treats me like a son. As a high level local government official he can answer all my endless questions with ease. Sometimes we end up taking endless detours through the Cremonese countryside to thoroughly explain the system of dikes that prevents the river from sprawling hundreds of kilometers wide across the floodplains. Other nights we'll discuss Italian immigration policy over a game of chess - or three. My host mother Laura is equally brilliant and best of all, makes huge breakfasts everyday to satisfy my enormous morning appetite. Moreover, they provide such freedom that I never miss out on spending time with friends and making the experiences that define exchange all the while actively seeking to include me in family trips around Italy.
In just 5 months I've seen perhaps more than in my entire life prior. I've climbed the great torrazzo of Cremona enough times to start keeping a PB time for climbing the 257 steps to the top. I've hiked up the pre-Alps into the clouds above Brescia. I've danced like no one was watching with complete strangers at the disco. I've wandered Milan by streetcar with my gut feeling as guide. I've prayed in Cathedrals nearly a thousand years old. Best of all, I've met and shared time with people whose lives so foreign to me have improbably crossed into my own for the time being.
The Po valley of Italy or Padana, far from the freshly paved subdivisions of Mississauga, is a nation with deep roots. Everywhere you go it seems people are dying to give you their little piece of wisdom, whether it be the "correct" way of producing parmigiana cheese - a dead serious rivalry in these parts - or a dialectic proverb. Strangely, inspired by the passion of the Italians, I find myself feeling greater connection to Canada than ever before.
To both the Rotary Clubs of Mississauga-Dixie and Mississauga West along with everyone else back in 7080 who make youth exchange possible I am forever grateful! Grazie mille!
Ciao signori, ci vediamo.

Easter Seals Christmas party - Video from Rogers
Rogers Community Channel has made avaialble a video of the 2013 annual Easter Seals Christmas Party on Sunday November 24, at the Vic Johnson arena in Streetsville. Click HERE to view it. Children from more than 60 families, many seriously physically challenged, enjoyed crafts, face painting, an amazing magician and a snowball fight with some of Peel Region's finest police officers. The highlight was of course a visit from the jolly old fellow himself, taking a few minutes out from his work up at the North Pole. Needless to say, Santa brought a present for each of the children (with just a little organizational assistance from the two Rotary Clubs.) Everyone - not least the volunteers - had a great time.

Lobsterfest a great success!
Lobsterfest was a great success, enjoyed by all those who attended. A big "thank you" to all the Rotarians who put so much time and effort into making this event work so well, thanks to the students and adult volunteers who made the evening run so smoothly, and of course a huge thank you to all those companies and individuals who donated raffle and door prizes, that added much excitement to the evening.

Jade Bird Set to Release Sophomore Album, 'Different Kinds of Light', This Summer
Holly G
Holly G Published: May 20, 2021
British singer-songwriter Jade Bird will be releasing her sophomore album through Glassnote Records, she confirmed on Thursday (May 20). The new record, titled Different Kinds of Light, has a release date of Aug. 13.
Bird wrote Different Kinds of Light in Japan, Mexico, Nashville and upstate New York, "adding pieces of songs along the way until it became the different phases of who I am, what my relationship is and what my relationship to other people has become," she shares in a press release. Dave Cobb produced the record.
When sharing the news of her new album, Bird also unveiled its title track. The project, she says, "at its most basic, is about falling in love and, at its most complex, the chaos of trying to get away from your past."
Bird began teasing a new project in 2020, releasing two singles, "Headstart" and "Houdini." The latter appears on Different Kinds of Light, but the former does not; a full tracklist is below.
Though still early in her career, Bird has grown and developed as an artist. She described the themes reflected in her first album, a self-titled record, as "literally every male family member being absent, present, absent, present," and says, in contrast, Different Kinds of Light shares just the opposite: staying, loving and allowing yourself to be loved.
On Different Kinds of Light, Bird brings to the table her recent experiences traveling the world and meeting new people. She has crafted those stories into songs that tell both personal tales and those of fictional characters.
Following her debut album, Bird found herself being taken under the wings of Jason Isbell, Sheryl Crow and Brandi Carlile. "I never felt like I could call myself an artist, whereas I know that's my occupation now. That's who I am, and that's incredibly reassuring," she says.

129 Degrees? This Place is Hot, Hot, Hot!
Imagery ©2017 TerraMetrics. Map data ©2017 courtesy of Google Maps.
· July 3, 2017 ·2 Comments·2 min read
E xperiencing hot temperatures during the month of July in the northern hemisphere is not unusual in many places; but the ambient temperature reached a record high of 53.7 degrees Celsius — or 129 degrees Fahrenheit — on Thursday, June 29, 2017 in the city of Ahvaz in Iran, according to Accuweather.
According to Weather Underground, the temperature actually reached 129.2 degrees Fahrenheit; and the heat index reached 142.1 degrees Fahrenheit at 4:51 in the afternoon local time. Although the humidity in the air was only 17 percent, the dew point was an uncomfortable 71.6 degrees Fahrenheit.
Other sources claim that the actual high temperature was 128.7 degrees Fahrenheit.
The record not only shattered the previous record of 127.4 degrees Fahrenheit for the country of Iran; but 129 degrees was also the hottest temperature ever recorded in the continent of Asia in the month of June — and it was also one of the hottest temperatures ever recorded and officially confirmed in the world.
The historical average high temperature in Ahvaz is typically a balmy 113 degrees Fahrenheit; but the good news is that the low temperature was 85 degrees Fahrenheit — which is exactly average.
Higher than average temperatures are expected in Ahvaz through Monday, July 17, 2017, as the forecast at this time calls for high temperatures to range from 120 to 123 degrees Fahrenheit every day before cooling down to a relatively chilly 117 degrees Fahrenheit. Break out the winter gear.
Ahvaz — to which I have never been — is located approximately 370 miles across the northern Persian Gulf from Bahrain, which I visited a couple of years ago. The air felt oppressively hot in Bahrain when I was there — probably because of the humidity.
The hottest temperature ever recorded on Earth was 134 degrees Fahrenheit in Death Valley in California on Thursday, July 10, 1913 — but that record is disputed, as some meteorologists believe that the hottest temperature ever recorded was 129.2 degrees Fahrenheit in both Death Valley on Thursday, June 20, 2013 and Mitribah in Kuwait on Thursday, July 21, 2016.
The western United States endured its own heat wave last month. As one of many examples, Needles in California experienced a high temperature of 125 degrees Fahrenheit on Tuesday, June 20, 2017, which tied an all-time record. The record would have been officially shattered had a reading of 126 degrees Fahrenheit lasted for longer than five minutes.
I decided to break the consecutive wave of articles related to Canada in honor of the celebration of 150 years since Canada became a confederation on Monday, July 1, 1867 with this article. No sweat.
Regardless of the disputed claims of record high temperatures, Thursday seems to coincidentally be the unofficial day as to when the hottest weather occurs and breaks records…
…but that is probably of literally little comfort to the 168 passengers aboard an airplane which operated as Air India flight 880 from Bagdogra to Delhi and had an air conditioning system — as well as oxygen masks — that reportedly malfunctioned…
I was running during a race in Death Valley a few years ago and the temperature was 128 so I certainly know what it feels like! The ground temperature was so hot it would burn our shoes if we didn't run on the lines.
The highest temperature extreme which I had ever experienced was 112 degrees Fahrenheit in Cairo, Charlie…
http://thegatewithbriancohen.com/the-chaos-known-as-cairo-international-airport/
…and to me, that felt like a blast furnace.
I cannot even imagine what 128 degrees Fahrenheit feels like; and I would like to experience it — just not while running. Did you write an article about your experience? If so, please offer a link to it here.
As for the soles of running shoes coming off — well…
http://thegatewithbriancohen.com/great-the-soles-just-fell-off-both-my-running-shoes-now-what/

Place From 1260 To /11/1538
Categories: Property, Religion
Augustinian friary just north-east of Bank, probably founded 1260ish, covering about 5.5 acres, it included a church, various other buildings for the accommodation of the friars and visitors, vegetable gardens, etc. Erasmus stayed here in 1513.
Thomas Cromwell developed a very grand house within the friary precincts which, on his downfall in 1540, was acquired by the crown and, 3 years later, sold to the Drapers Company for their Hall.
The friary suffered dissolution in 1538, on Cromwell's orders. The monastic buildings were replaced with a town house which survived until 1844, when it was turned into warehouses. In 1550 the nave of the church began to be used by foreigners, specifically the Dutch, and became the first official nonconformist chapel in England. The rest of the church was used for storage. Much was demolished in 1600 and then in 1862 a fire destroyed the rest. Reconstructed, it was destroyed in WW2 and rebuilt in the 50s.
The order was named for Saint Augustine of Hippo and so not connected to Augustine of Canterbury. From Augustinians in Britain : The Augustinian friars in Britain ceased to exist at the Reformation in the 16th century. After several attempts to re-introduce the Order, a mission, St Monica's, was established in the East End of London, at Hoxton Square, in 1864. From there the Augustinians re-established their presence throughout Britain.

The Labs That Go Boom: The Plasma Physics Laboratory Makes Miniature Suns
Cranking out plasma at 100 million degrees
By Brooke Borel | Published Sep 7, 2012 1:47 AM
Elle Starkman, PPPL Office of Communications
This month, as part of our special on the future of education, PopSci_ presents 10 labs where students do serious research (and career training) by blowing stuff up._
Lab: Plasma Physics Laboratory at Princeton University
Career: Plasma physicist, fusion scientist, mechanical engineer
Each summer, 45 undergraduate physics and engineering students from schools across the country converge at Princeton for a crash course in plasma physics. A state of matter found in stars and frequently in interstellar space, a plasma is an electrically charged soup of ions and free electrons made by superheating atoms until they rip themselves apart.
Over the summer, students get to use the lab's collection of plasma-creating machines, some of the best in the U.S., to study plasmas firsthand. For example, students ionize lithium atoms with radiowaves to see how plasmas are created. They also study how magnetic fields, such as those found in the sun, interact to create solar storms. And after an upgrade, students will work on the National Spherical Torus Experiment (NSTX), a device that physicists will use to study fusion. The NSTX will heat plasma to 100 million degrees until the atoms fuse together and release energy. This is the same process that fuels the sun, and it could one day be a source of clean energy.


Searchlight presents, new for 2018, the Diablo range of spotlight fittings. Available in Black with gold or white and chrome details, the Diablo series includes a variety of ceiling fittings, a switched wall light, and table and floor lamps. Each light is independently articulated and the wall spot is supplied with an integrated pull switch. The 5924BG is a four light spot bar in black and gold and features integrated LEDs which provide 1600 lumens of warm white (3000K) light. The LEDs in this fitting are not replaceable and it cannot be used with a dimmer switch. The 5924BG has a height of 16cm, a width of 9cm, and a length of 86cm.


UV Protection – UPF50+ Sun Protection – SPF50 Blocks 98% of harmful UVA & UVB. The fabric (20% Spandex 80% Nylon) is very soft, fast drying, odour resistant, breathable, comfortable and durable. The shirt is white (which reflects the sun and is fade resistant) with extra long sleeves, ample body length and aqua soft flatlock stitching. The snug fit helps protect skin from rash. The shirt has an aqua surf/beach life print on the front. It is available in the Sizes 8-9.

Consumer credit law is an important field of law that regulates the provision of credit to consumers of goods and services and also includes chattel (goods) mortgages, personal loans and the law relating to credit cards. Given the costs and risks in borrowing money, it is essential that you have access to reliable legal advice to protect you in a dispute.
Led by Julian Van Leer, the consumer credit lawyers at Craddock Murray Neumann have gained significant expertise in this field over the years, protecting businesses, farmers and individual consumers. In fact, the firm has been involved in landmark litigation against a major credit provider that resulted in the government amending the credit laws in this field.
The team can provide expert advice and representation to clients with regard to:
enforceability of contracts subject to the Credit Act
litigation arising out of alleged breaches of the Act
Trade Practices Act disputes
cases where unfair practices are alleged.
Contact Craddock Murray Neumann Lawyers on (02) 8268 4000 for friendly professional service.
Contract: the rules of the game
The traditionally accepted view of law is that it is an independent set of rules governing society routinely applied by reference to existing precedent. The law is considered autonomous and distinct from custom, morality, religion and politics. In western civilisations, legal systems are built on liberal foundations.
Private contractual arrangements and government intervention
The law was not constructed on a bare canvas, but on value-laden foundations. Ordinarily, when a house is built on a sloping block, the nature of that slope determines the type of structure erected upon it. The structure is changed to suit the conditions of the landscape, not vice-versa. It is no different with the law.
Religious officers, contracts and legal relations
In commercial transactions, the onus of proving (on the balance of probabilities) that a contract does not exist rests with the party disputing what courts presume to be an agreement intended to have legal force. For disputes concerning family members, courts take the viewpoint that "each house is a domain into which the King's writ does not seek to run, and to which his officers do not seek to be admitted".
Consideration in contract law
The doctrine of Consideration is concerned with the price paid for a promise. Consideration is something of legal value given in exchange for a promise.
A contract that is not a contract
Equitable Estoppel is a cause of action that protects parties' reliance on promises which have the appearance of a contract, but which do not satisfy the elements needed to create binding legal relations, that result in detriment to one party. The case of Waltons Stores (Interstate) Ltd v Maher is a landmark case which has greatly affected the common law of contract.
Why are some guarantees unenforceable?
A guarantee is a promise by a third party to be liable to a lender for the obligations of a debtor, if the debtor defaults on their obligations. These are serious undertakings as they can render a guarantor liable for the whole amount owed by the debtor. Guarantees become enforceable when the debtor has defaulted on their obligations. However, there are numerous reasons why a guarantee may be unenforceable.
What is a guarantee?
When a creditor provides a party with a loan or the provision of goods or services on credit, a sincere promise by the debtor to repay the loan is rarely satisfactory. Such a promise will be no good to a creditor if the debtor goes bankrupt, no matter how much they wanted to honour their obligations. Therefore it is normal for a creditor to require some other source of repayment they can look to if the worst should happen. This is known as a guarantee.
Capacity of Parties in Contracts
Before ensuring the parties have fulfilled all the formal elements of a contract, a more fundamental issue to consider is whether both parties have capacity to enter into a contract. Capacity refers to a party's legal ability to enter into a contract. It will not assist a party if they've simply made a mistake or misunderstood a contract. Rather, the requirement is intended to protect people from being taken advantage of who may not fully understand what they're doing by reason of age, mental disability or intoxication.
Are some bank fees unenforceable? - Paciocco v ANZ [2014] FCA 35
Bank customers in Australia are eagerly awaiting the outcome of ANZ's appeal to the High Court after the Federal Court's decision in February 2014 decided that the fees ANZ charge for the late payment of credit cards are unenforceable. The decision will have a huge impact on the banking industry. If the Federal Court's decision prevails on appeal, it is likely that many of the fees charged by all the big banks will be challenged.
What is a managed investment scheme?
Wading through the quagmire of financial services can be daunting, but being fully informed about, and understanding, your options will ensure you are choosing the best financial arrangement for your circumstances.
What is the difference between a retail client and a wholesale client?
In considering managed financial schemes, you may have noticed a distinction between retail and wholesale clients. This distinction is important as a great deal of obligations and compliance requirements for managed investment schemes are dependent on whether they cater to retail or wholesale clients. For more information about managed investment schemes please refer to 'What is a managed investment scheme?'.
Costs orders - who pays the costs of legal proceedings?
The Court has power under Section 98 of the Civil Procedure Act 2005 to determine by whom, to whom and to what extent the costs of the proceedings are to be paid.
What are the requirements to be a licenced credit provider?
The recent introduction of the National Consumer Credit Protection Act 2009 and related National Credit Code, have increased the regulation of credit providers in Australia. If your business engages in credit activities for personal, household or domestic purposes such as directly providing credit, making related suggestions or acting as an intermediary between a lender and a consumer, then you will probably need an Australian credit license to carry on your business. The licenses are administered and enforced by the Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC).

and spill out into dance.
and tells them with her feet.
and the world is at her feet.
I picked up this week's Time magazine today. I don't know how news reporters can keep from drowning in depression. I could not find one piece of good news! There are 2.5 million barrels of oil flowing into the Gulf of Mexico every day! Things are bleak and very hot in Afghanistan. Flash floods in France have taken lives. Gangs are practicing ethnic murder in Kyrgyzstan against minority Uzbecks. Many of our states are bankrupt. Our universities are laying off faculty and cutting programs. President Obama has so much on his plate that I'm sure he wonders why he ever wanted to be the President. Whew! It's depressing. But not surprising.
It does us no good to keep a Bible on our bedside table if we don't read it. It does us no good to merely read it either, without taking the words to heart.
"The Bible is like a telescope. If a person looks through his telescope, then he sees worlds beyond; but if he looks at his telescope, then he does not see anything but a telescope. Read the Bible as a thing to look through to see that which is beyond. Otherwise, the Bible is just a pile of dead pieces of paper." What is written inside that Bible you hold in your hand was not just for generations gone by. It is and always will be true!
Do you sometimes feel as though prayer was an exercise in futility? I have felt that way, when Satan has surrounded me with such overwhelming trials that I can't see God working. Remember that Satan is a roaring lion, prowling about trying to frighten us. He roars so loud sometimes, we can't hear what God is saying!
I've got to stop cringing and whining about all the evil and begin to pray. Jesus commanded us to pray. The Bible tells us to pray without ceasing. The Holy Spirit promises to pray for us if we can't find the words. Prayer is need finding a voice, embarrassment seeking relief, a friend in search of a friend, a quest in the darkness. It is knocking on a barred door and communion through a closed door. Prayer is shameless insistence in the name of someone else, expecting and receiving all things that we need to meet the demands of our calling. Prayer is what gets us in the place where we are no longer afraid, but are ready to respond to what's next. Trust me, I'm writing this for myself! For if life's greatest tragedy is to lose God, then there is only one thing worse - not to miss Him. God never loses track of anyone…ever.
D-mail for the week of Father's Day - What Is My Father Like?
What Is My Father Like?
Taken off guard, the young mother got tears in her eyes. The boy had only been six months old when his father went off to war. She and Tommy had not seen him for nearly three years.
"Yes, but the letters don't talk and the picture doesn't play with me," the little boy answered.
The mother pulled her son into her lap in the rocker and began to tell the boy what his father was like. She described how strong his hugs were and how gentle his kisses. She sang the song to him that his father sang every morning in the shower. She told Tommy that when his daddy laughed, it was loud and made his belly jiggle. She told the boy how hard his dad worked at the hardware store, sometimes working all the way through the night so that they could buy Tommy's crib and toys.
She said Daddy liked hot dogs with ketchup better than anything, just like Tommy, and that he always said something nice about whatever she cooked for dinner. She told Tommy about the pink roses Daddy brought her for her birthday. She also said that some things made him mad, like when the man next door blamed him for leaving trash in his yard or when some of the men on his ship wouldn't write letters to their wives and children, but would go out to parties with strange ladies instead.
She told Tommy the kinds of things his father expected from him, like being helpful and obedient to Mommy, learning about Jesus at Sunday School, praying for the safety of all the soldiers in the war, not fighting with other children, eating his meals all gone, and making Grandpa laugh.
Tommy might not have seen his father in person yet, but thanks to his mother's description, he was forming a picture in his mind to go with the picture on the bedside stand. His wise mother knew just the things that a little boy would want to know about his father. As a wife and mother, one of the most valuable gifts I can give my children is to speak honorable things to them about their father, to not dwell on his shortcomings, but to praise him and support his decisions - even when I am angry or disappointed with him.
Many children don't know their father, perhaps because of desertion or divorce, prison or death. For those whose earthly fathers were not loving or good role models, the idea of a loving father is foreign. Fallen fathers are one of society's greatest tragedies. The best we can do is to try to introduce these children to good men who are willing to spend quality time with them. Praise God for loving and generous stepfathers too. Despite the cruelty and disappointment fatherless children may experience, there is available to them a relationship with the one who created them, who knit them in their mother's womb, who loves them more than anyone else can and loves unconditionally. God the Father will never leave them or forsake them like their earthly father might have done.
But like Tommy, how can God's children know what their father is like? Of course as Christians, we know that God has revealed his personality, his powers, his best judgments and laws for us, what he's done in the past, and what his plans are for the future through the Bible and , like Tommy's mother, we can have the privilege to tell people what God the Father is like..
Recently my daughter's best friend from childhood had a baby boy. I saw him when he was only a few weeks old, but oh my goodness! He looked exactly like his father - only shrunk down! It will be fun to see how much he will look like his father as he grows. My oldest son , by age 25, looked so much like my husband it was eerie! Want to know what the father looks like? Just look at the son. God has a similar idea. In order for men and women, who had limited understanding of what God was like, to know God, he sent his son, Jesus Christ as God in the flesh. Those who were in Jesus' presence, who saw his works, listened to his words, and experienced his love, knew God. "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. If you really knew me, you would know my Father as well. From now on, you do know Him and have seen Him." John 14:6 Today, through the modeling of Jesus and the presence of the Holy Spirit, who came as God within us, we can know the love, the power, and the wisdom of almighty God.
"He forgives all your sins and heals all your diseases, redeems you from the pit (of hell) and crowns you with love and compassion. He satisfies your desires with good things so that your youth is renewed like the eagle's. The Lord works righteousness and justice for all who are oppressed. Just like he made known his ways to Moses and his deeds to Israel, the Lord is compassionate and gracious, slow to anger, and abounding in love.
He will not always accuse (does not endlessly nag and scold) , nor will he harbor anger(hold grudges) forever; he does not treat us as our sins deserve or repay us according to our iniquities (wrongs).
Psalm 68:5 tells us that God is a father to the fatherless and a defender of widows.
And like a loving earthly father who comforts and defends his children us when they are afraid or in danger, Deuteronomy 1: 29-31 tells us that God acted the same toward the Hebrew children.
Praise the Lord for creating fathers for us who try to mirror Him as He models perfect fatherhood! Be sure to thank your father for all he has done for you and praise his efforts to raise you in love and wisdom. If he has fallen short, ask God to help him back to his feet. Ask Him to restore a right relationship between you and your father. If you can muster no love for your father because he injured you so badly, ask God to help you forgive him and find peace in a relationship with God, your heavenly Father.
It is no disgrace to move out of the path of an elephant.
This advice is good for all of us. My son and his wife are moving to Colorado in August so my son can begin a PhD program there. They have 2 children under the age of 3 and own a lovely, small home in the Iowa town where they have lived the past 6 years. They worked hard to prepare their home to put on the market. They were prudent to have it available during the time when first-time home buyers could qualify for a federal credit. So it went up for sale the first weekend of April. The first day it was on the market, a couple placed an offer to buy. The contract was signed with a closing date of June 11th. How wonderful! They praised God for blessing the first step of their move and settled down to attend to all the other details that are involved in moving -including a large garage sale and the packing of many boxes. Over Memorial Day weekend, they drove to Colorado to hunt for the perfect condo to rent for the five years he will be in school. They found a lovely place they could afford, as well as a job for her and an affordable day care situation for the children. They came home feeling lighter than air.
Suddenly, they felt like they were carrying the heaviest burden of their married life. They cannot afford to move carrying both a mortgage and a rent payment. That was last week. Since then they have had a realtor's open house and two showings -neither of which amounted to anything. However, they are a Christian couple who have always taken everything in their lives to prayer. This time is no different. Despite the worry that I'm sure they must be feeling in their flesh, they are speaking positively now. God has cared for them in the past and he will again. Tomorrow they leave on vacation for a week and a vacation isn't a vacation if you bring your burdens along.
So, if my kids can leave their anxiety at the feet of Jesus, why shouldn't their mother? Are you stressing about something over which you have no power? As difficult as it is, try to turn the worry of it over to Jesus. If you must worry, I read where you should set aside 5 minutes each day to worry. Choose a specific spot to go to to do this worrying. Make it an uncomfortable spot you won't want to stay in any longer than the 5 minutes and where no one can hear you. Then pour out your worries out loud. Let them go. After 5 minutes, walk away. Don't return until the next day's 5 minute worry time and don't worry at all between times. Don't ridicule the idea until you have tried it!
In the meantime, let the peace of God, which passes all understanding, guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus.

Charity Times Award win for FareShare and Tesco
FareShare's longstanding partnership with Tesco has been recognised at the Charity Times Awards.
The Corporate National Partnership with a Retailer award was awarded to FareShare for our work with Tesco, which in the last year includes the innovative Buy One to Help a Child (BOTHAC) campaign and the bi-annual Food Collection.
The partnership between FareShare and Tesco was bolstered by an exponential increase in support from the retailer in the last year, including additional funding during the pandemic, an extra annual food collection and BOTHAC.
Across two BOTHAC campaigns, Tesco donated more than £5m to FareShare to enable the charity to purchase additional food to meet demand and ensure its network of 31 regional centres could continue vital operations during an increasingly busy year.
The Corporate National Partnership with a Retailer award recognises the active involvement of a retail organisation directly through a partnership with a UK-registered charity, which has had a quantifiably positive impact on the charity in the last year. The prize was awarded to FareShare and Tesco at a ceremony on Wednesday 14 September 2022.
The Awards celebrate best practice in the UK charity and not-for-profit sector and is organised by Charity Times, leading management title for the sector.
Lindsay Boswell, Chief Executive at FareShare, said: "We are thrilled to have won a Charity Times award in recognition of our longstanding partnership with Tesco. We simply could not do all that we do at FareShare without Tesco and around 30% of the food that FareShare receives is as a direct result of this partnership.
"In our tenth year of working together, our partnership with them is absolutely vital to our operations – from every day surplus redistributed by its stores into the local community, to huge campaigns like Buy One to Help a Child and the Tesco Food Collection, the food and financial support we receive helps to ensure we can continue getting crucial supplies to thousands of people at risk of hunger across the UK."
Claire de Silva, Head of Community at Tesco said: "Through our partnership with FareShare millions of meals-worth of surplus food have reached charities and community groups across the UK. This year we are celebrating a decade of partnership with FareShare and it is wonderful to see the strength of our partnership being recognised by the Charity Times Awards as we mark that special milestone."

Sony took home two awards starting with its impressive BVM-X300 4K reference monitor that offers high dynamic range and a wide color gamut display. In the Post/Sound category, judges were wowed by the Sony Creative Software Spectra Layers Pro3, that allows working with individual sounds in an audio file as if they were objects in a photograph.
A slew of honorable mentions got thumbs up from the judges including Cineo Lighting's Matchbox portable remote-phosphor fixture and Innocinema/Action Products' Runner camera stabilizer with an exo-skeleton design. Flanders Scientific caught their eye with the DM250 24.5" 10 bit OLED Monitor capable of reproducing over 1.073 billion colors on screen. As did ETC's Source Four LED Series 2 Daylight HD and Tungsten HD lights and the Macom 12G-SDI Chipset that supports 4K video resolution at 60 fps over a single coaxial cable or optical fiber.


Right now we don't have any genetic tests or blood tests that we can use to diagnose autism, with the exception of Rett's disorder. Rett's disorder is a pervasive developmental disorder that primarily affects girls. There is a blood test for identifying that particular diagnosis. However, once a child has been identified with an autism spectrum disorder, best practices dictates that they would have a full genetic workup. The reason for that is that about 10% of children who have an autism spectrum disorder will also have some sort of a genetic mutation. We don't have any specific interventions that would be informed by that genetic workup. However, it would be relevant for other siblings or for family planning.

Foraging on the Commons of the past, present and future.
To walk across the Cow bridge, over the river Lea with its jostle of narrowboats, past the trees and bushes is to enter an explosion of space that is Hackney marsh. Some 300 acres of protected Commons. The flat marsh grassland has the feeling of being unpeopled, of belonging to nature. But within its history is a chain of role reversals that unravel in this global age and produce new directions for the Commons land.

Lifeisland, Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park
Standing on the new Knights Bridge in the Olympic Park looking north. The bulldozers are still at work and the earth is exposed. A few years ago I would have been right there. On old community gardens, the Manor Garden allotments, which would have been stretching south along the river. We have gone from sleepy vegetable plots and allotment sheds made from throwaway doors and disjointed windows to a virgin landscape in which everything looks to have dropped freefall.

Westfield Gardens, Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park
Parts of London's new Olympic park are at last open to the public. Families are enjoying the sunshine on banks of beautifully tended lawns. It's hard to think this could be where I would once have twenty waste skips (dumpsters) based at the Bow Midland recycling plant. Memory here can no longer relate the present to the past. The new names in the park, Hopkins Field, Danes Walk, Alfred's Meadow, Millrace Meadow don't help at all. When a familar backyard is dug up and altered to this scale, it unsettles a host of other imaginings. Therefore this post about the new park revolves around names; names that help make sense of an altered reality.

In Tunis with thousands of others for the World Social Forum 2013. As with Egypt, the Tunisian Spring is a revolution unfinished, a country without a constitution. Then the assassination of secular opposition leader Chokri Belaid barely a month ago. Suddenly there was an air of something providential about the arrival of the World Social Forum, along with a sense of urgency.

After a two year association with the Unité D'Habitation in Rezé, Nantes, I confess I went to the Berlin Unité with some preconceptions, in search of another scenario to explore the concrete shell and its relationship with urban ecology. I came away with the realisation that when it comes to architectural styles, it's not so much the clothes in the wardrobe but who wears them that matter.

Miguel Altieri at the APPG
(the All Party Parliamentary Group on Agroecology) 12 January 2012
If anyone articulates the political potential of sustainable food as a means of social transformation, it is Miguel Altieri, Professor of Agroecology at Berkeley, the University of California. Altieri has a simple explanation of what agroecology is "It's like a stool that has three legs. One that is socially just, one that is economically viable, and one that is ecologically safe. And when one of those legs lags, then the stool falls down". In other words, it's all or nothing. Agroecology thus demands the total transformation of our food system; tweaking it here and there will not do.

Camping in Dartmoor April 2011. Lost in vast expanses of space, it is somehow easier to speculate on the future, and potential social imaginaries. Dartmoor is a particularly appropriate place as it is full of anomalies. Although much of it is privately owned, we can roam across the empty desolation with few restrictions thanks to the Dartmoor Commons Act of 1985. The rugged landscape is itself the result of ecological collapse. Once upon a time Dartmoor was a dense forest. Then came farming and overfarming which upset the balance. Turning forestry into fields progressively eroded the natural cover of oak trees. Disaster awaited. Without the trees to hold together the soil, the nutrients were washed away. Crops failed, livestock died and Dartmoor became the soggy barren moorlands we know today.

This post is a mediation on the street as a revolutionary front line. The capacity of taking to the street to confront the State directly. The horizon of the political possibilities available to us has certainly changed with the Arab spring and the realisation that austerity Europe can not carry on as it is. Something has to give. The street beckons. However when it comes to the street as a 'revolutionary front line', our imagination wanders back to May 68 as a sort of auto political default. A critical question thus would be to ask how relevant is 68 to our current day struggles?

The past 20 years have seen massive increases in the corporate share at both ends of our food chain – downstream of the supply end with a few supermarkets and upstream the domination of food production by agribusiness cartels. Thus today just five companies control over three quarters of the world market in cereals with one, Cargill, controlling more than than 60%; three companies control 85% of the world's tea market; three in cocoa have 84%; and with agrochemicals, the top 10 companies own 90% of the market. So why this wholesale takeover at a time of relentless environmental campaigning and anti-capitalist activism; is it down to the power imbalances of neoliberalism, or the lack of protective legislation, or subsidies skewed heavily in favour of the large, or do the progressive messages have no effect on consumer culture?
