Undermining Rights: Indigenous Lands and Mining in the Amazon
by Patricia Quijano Vallejos, Peter Veit, Pedro Tipula and Katie Reytar - October 2020
Launch the interactive report
With gold prices skyrocketing and demand for other minerals on the rise, mining poses a growing threat to communities and ecosystems around the world. Conducting geospatial analysis of the Amazon biogeographic region, this report estimates, for the first time, the full extent of legal, large-scale mining concessions and illegal mining operations on Indigenous territories within the rainforest. It finds that, together, legal and illegal mining now cover more than 20% of Indigenous lands, endangering hundreds of Indigenous communities and critical ecosystems across 450,000 square kilometers.
Mining, the study also shows, is polluting at least 30 Amazonian rivers and eroding communities' proven ability to prevent deforestation. From 2000 to 2015, Indigenous lands with mining activities had higher incidences of tree cover loss than those without mining. In Bolivia, Ecuador and Peru, for example, forest loss was at least three times higher in Indigenous territories with mining operations – both legal and illegal – than those without; and one to two times higher in Colombia and Venezuela.
See more data and findings in the interactive report.
Yet national laws often favor companies over Indigenous communities, the study's comprehensive legal assessment of six Amazonian countries, including Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador, Guyana and Peru, reveals. Although these countries all grant important legal protections to communities, these land rights are insufficient and leave most Indigenous Peoples vulnerable to mining. Government oversight of mining activities across Indigenous lands, enforcement of existing legal protections and compliance with international environmental and social safeguards also remain weak in practice, creating tensions between Indigenous communities and miners that often escalate into violent conflict.
Protecting Indigenous lands, including the sustainable development and environmental benefits they generate, will require a radical shift in governments' and companies' approaches to mining. Amazonian countries should strengthen Indigenous Peoples' land and natural resource rights; establish and enforce social and environmental safeguards aligned with international standards; more consistently monitor mining operations across Indigenous lands; and step up efforts to identify and prosecute those who facilitate illegal mining practices. Companies, the report recommends, should comply with these stricter safeguards as well as invest in ecological restoration and reforestation of old mining sites.

Industrial mining concessions cover approximately 1.28 million square kilometers (more than 18 percent) of the Amazon. Mining concessions and illegal mining overlap with 450,000 sq. km (more than 20 percent) of indigenous lands and affect 1,131 (31 percent) Indigenous lands.
Overall, Indigenous lands on which mining is carried out showed a higher rate of forest loss (from 2000 to 2015) than Indigenous lands without mining. In Bolivia, Ecuador and Peru, the rate was at least three times higher; in Colombia and Venezuela, it was one to two times higher.
National laws provide Indigenous Peoples with some land rights but few rights to the minerals on their lands. Only in Guyana do Indigenous Peoples have a limited form of consent, and only in Colombia do they have the right of first refusal over commercial mining on their lands.
In practice, the law is not well implemented by miners or enforced by governments. Indigenous Peoples have employed various strategies, such as litigation, to protect their lands from mining.
There is a need to strengthen legal protections for Indigenous lands, establish strong social and environmental safeguards, build the capacity of Indigenous Peoples to protect their lands, ensure all mining meets established safeguards and provide for effective law enforcement.

COVID-19, Rising Gold Prices and Illegal Mining Threaten Indigenous Lands in the Amazon
by Peter Veit and Patricia Quijano Vallejos - September 08, 2020
As the price of gold and other minerals soars, expanded mining in Amazonian countries has damaging impacts on the forest and its people, including the 1.5 million Indigenous People who depend on the Amazon for their livelihoods and well-being.
Peru's Indigenous Communities Manage Their Forests. Others Should Follow Their Lead
by Peter Veit, Marlena Chertock and Katelyn Bredsnajder - January 23, 2019
Peruvian indigenous communities have shown themselves to be exceptional environmental and conservation leaders. Their leaders have worked for a decade to ensure a government commitment to conserve 54 million hectares of forest, as a part of the REDD+ program.
As Indigenous Groups Wait Decades for Land Titles, Companies Are Acquiring Their Territories
by Laura Notess and Peter Veit - July 11, 2018
The Santa Clara de Uchunya community has lived in a remote section of the Peruvian Amazon for generations, relying on the forest for hunting, fishing and natural resources. But in 2014, someone started cutting down large sections of their ancestral lands. They've been struggling for their land rights ever since.
5 Maps Show How Important Indigenous Peoples and Local Communities Are to the Environment
by Katie Reytar and Peter Veit - December 20, 2017
New data on the LandMark platform backs up what research already shows: Indigenous Peoples and local communities are some of the best environmental stewards.
Protecting Indigenous Land Rights Makes Good Economic Sense
by Peter Veit and Helen Ding - October 07, 2016
Indigenous Peoples and other communities hold and manage 50 to 60 percent of the world's land, yet governments recognize only 10 percent as legally belonging to these groups. That's bad economic policy, shows a new WRI report.

Speaking to New Jersey 101.5 Monday, Grossman said he made his comments because "diversity is not a qualification."
In a statement to New Jersey 101.5 regarding Grossman's comments, Van Drew said he was "very disappointed" in the remarks.
"This edited video by a democrat SuperPAC has about as much credibility as the dossier Hillary Clinton paid Fusion GPS for," Singh said in an email to New Jersey 101.5. The video does not appear to include any breaks edits during Grossman's comments. "The fact is, that Seth's lifelong respect for people of all backgrounds is unquestioned and includes, by the way, his military service in a predominantly minority National Guard unit.

Research & Medical Care
Crnic Institute Grand Challenge Grants
The Global Down Syndrome Foundation raises funds for the Linda Crnic Institute for Down Syndrome to underwrite critical research benefiting people with Down syndrome. To date, we have provided $6.7 million in research grants to 33 investigators. Of the $6.7 million, the most important grants today are (1) the Crnic Grand Challenge Grants totaling nearly $3.5 million and (2) the Alzheimer's disease-Down syndrome innovation grants co-funded with the Alzheimer's Association.
The Crnic Grand Challenge Grants program was established in 2013 by Tom Blumenthal, Ph.D., executive director of the Crnic Institute. The grants are available to scientists from the University of Colorado system and were awarded to researchers from various disciplines at the University of Colorado at Boulder, and the University of Colorado School of Medicine at the Anschutz Medical Campus.
Many of the 2017 grants awarded build on seminal research published last year, a result of previous Crnic Grand Challenge Grants, recasting Down syndrome as an immune disorder.
Read the press release about the 2017 Crnic Grand Challenge Grants.
The eleven recipients of the Crnic Grand Challenge Grants will focus on a range of subjects with a focus on the immune system in Down syndrome. Increasing evidence suggests that malfunction of the immune system in people with Down syndrome may be linked to their higher risk for leukemia, autoimmune disorders, and cognitive impairment. The Crnic Institute and the Global Down Syndrome Foundation provided awards to four investigators focused on this striking correlation.
Thirty-one researchers from the University of Colorado at Boulder and the University of Colorado School of Medicine on the Anschutz Medical Campus applied for the 2015 Crnic Grand Challenge Grants. The proposals were reviewed by an elite group of scientists, and 10 exceptional research projects were selected. Each Linda Crnic Institute Grand Challenge Grant has the real potential to benefit people with Down syndrome. These grants will ensure that we create a true academic home for Down syndrome research in addition to funding research on a national and international basis.
Thirty-three grant proposals were reviewed by an elite group of scientists, and 13 exceptional research projects were selected.

Characterizing axon guidance phenotypes in Down syndrome models
People with Down syndrome have brain abnormalities causing cognitive deficits. These deficits may be due to failure of nerve cell axons to find their proper place in the brain. Several genes on human Chromosome 21 may play important roles in this process, and axon guidance errors may cause these cognitive deficits. It is currently unknown if trisomy 21 perturbs the function of these genes and consequently leads to axon guidance defects. Using mouse models for Down syndrome, this research group will characterize potential cellular and molecular abnormalities in axon guidance. Future results will determine if axon guidance errors contribute to the cognitive disability in Down syndrome, and thus provide a novel perspective in understanding the causes of cognitive deficits.

Oncogenic adaptation, leukemogenesis and Down syndrome
Down syndrome is associated with a striking increase in leukemia, but decrease in many solid tumors. This research group will continue to test a novel idea linking impaired blood cell production and increased leukemia in individuals with Down syndrome. They suggest that defects in the ability of blood cells to replenish their numbers lead to selection for mutations in potential cancer causing genes that can overcome this defect. Using mouse models, they will ask whether particular cancer-causing events are specifically selected for within blood stem cells in Down syndrome. They will also determine how the extra Chromosome 21 impacts selection for these cancer-causing genes in other tissues, which could explain both increased leukemias as well as decreased solid tumor formation. In all, these studies could suggest a novel approach to limiting cancer: if we understand what leads to the cancer, we have a much better chance of finding cures.

Amyloid Beta postsynaptic signaling through anchored calcineurin
In Alzheimer's disease, overproduction of amyloid beta (Aβ) protein fragments from the amyloid precursor protein (APP) somehow interferes with the normal signaling functions of brain synapses, which causes dementia. The APP gene is on Chromosome 21, so people with Down syndrome have extra APP and Aβ in their brains, and many develop early-onset Alzheimer's disease. Figuring out how Aβ interferes with synapes is key for understanding Alzheimer's disease and could result in the identification of novel drug targets and therapies. Using an innovative genetically engineered mouse model, this research group will determine whether Aβ activates signaling that interferes with synapses through a protein called Calcineurin. This protein is anchored at synapses by a protein called AKAP150. They will investigate whether disruption of AKAP150 can prevent synapse dysfunction caused by the presence of Aβ.

Allele specific transcriptional and post-transcriptional regulation in Down syndrome
This research group will experimentally determine which RNAs are dysregulated in individuals with Down syndrome. They will also determine which step of regulation is altered: transcription of the gene into RNA or stability of the RNA. Using novel techniques, and comparing their results to the genome sequence, they will identify the key regulators responding to trisomy 21. Ultimately, a detailed understanding of the impact of trisomy 21 on gene regulation is necessary to develop targeted molecular therapeutics.

Associate Professor, Molecular, Cellular and Developmental Biology, University of Colorado at Boulder
A genetic screen for synthetic lethal pathways with Trisomy 21
The Espinosa lab will scan the human genome in search of genes whose function is essential for the survival of cells with three copies of chromosome 21, yet dispensable for cells with only two copies. The identification of these genes will illuminate the molecular processes that allow the cells of individuals with Down syndrome to accommodate the burden of an additional chromosome. This knowledge may eventually enable the design of therapeutic strategies for these genes.

The pharmacokinetics of morphine in post-operative cardiac patients with Down syndrome
This study will use blood samples from children with and without Down syndrome undergoing cardiac surgery. The study will provide information to improve the management of post-operative pain and sedation in children with Down syndrome, including those with congenital heart disease.

Profiling Chromosome 21 inactivation by the Xist RNA
All chromosomes are composed of the genetic material (DNA) and many proteins that influence the expression of the DNA. This project will determine the protein composition of Chromosome 21 by re-building the interactions with this chromosome in the test tube. This research group will use this protein composition "signature" as a guide to study a recently developed RNA molecular therapy that can inactivate one of the three copies of Chromosome 21 in trisomic cells. This therapy has the potential to alleviate health complications for people with Down syndrome.
Kevin Jones, Ph.D.
BDNF augmentation as a therapeutic treatment for Down syndrome
There is evidence that reduced signaling between neurons mediated by growth factors, a class of signaling proteins that influence the health and function of cells, may be a significant contributor to the intellectual disability that occurs in Down syndrome. The Jones lab will test whether increasing the abundance of one specific growth factor can prevent Down syndrome pathology in a mouse model. They will screen for drugs that increase the abundance of this growth factor with the goal of developing therapeutic drugs for the treatment of Down syndrome.
Matthew Kennedy, Ph.D.
Assistant Professor, Pharmacology, University of Colorado School of Medicine
Mechanisms of beta-amyloid synapse elimination
Certain features of Down syndrome brain pathology closely resemble Alzheimer's disease. One of the hallmarks of Down syndrome and Alzheimer's is the loss of neuronal contacts, or synapses, in the brain. Loss of synapses leads to cognitive symptoms associated with these conditions and is thought to be a result of increased production of a toxic peptide called beta-amyloid. The Kennedy lab will investigate how beta-amyloid causes synapse loss in hope of finding targets for future therapies.

Transcriptome analysis in iPSC-derived and directly reprogrammed neurons from Down syndrome cells
Down syndrome results from an extra copy of Chromosome 21, and it is believed that the resulting extra copies of genes of this chromosome lead to Down syndrome traits. Presumably the extra copies of Chromosome 21 genes results in the higher expression of these genes. It is this increased expression of a subset of genes that results in specific Down syndrome traits, such as intellectual disability. However, it has been difficult to directly test this assumption, or identify the critical genes, due to the experimental inaccessibility of human tissue, particularly the brain. Newly developed technology now enables researchers to convert human skin cells into neurons and to mimic aspects of human brain development in a cell culture dish. This research group will use these technologies to generate neurons from individuals with Down syndrome, and measure expression of all the genes from every chromosome. One idea they will test is that overexpression of one specific gene on Chromosome 21 may alter the function of a set of proteins involved in neurotransmission. Support for this idea would identify specific proteins as candidate drug targets to alleviate brain deficits found in individuals with Down syndrome, such as epilepsy and intellectual disability.

Investigating muscle stem cell defects and aging in Down syndrome
Muscle dysfunction is one particularly understudied area of Down syndrome pathology. Muscle weakness and low muscle tone affects mobility, limiting ability to complete daily tasks, and diminishing quality of life, increasing health care costs and leading to morbidity. The mechanisms that underlie muscle weakness in Down syndrome are essentially unknown. Adult stem cells in a mouse model of Down syndrome are impaired and likely contribute to premature aging. Muscle stem cells are required for proper skeletal muscle development, maintenance of muscle tissue, and regeneration following injuries. Loss of muscle stem cell function during aging and in neuromuscular diseases, contributes to a progressive loss of muscle function that appears similar to that observed in Down syndrome. This research group will determine if muscle stem cell abnormalities exist in Down syndrome mouse models and whether these abnormalities contribute to pathological loss of muscle strength.

The role of the TRPM2 ion channel and calcium signaling in innate immune functions in Down syndrome
Impairments of the immune system represent a significant burden on the well being and health of people with Down syndrome. This research group will investigate the biological function in immune cells of a protein that transports calcium ions across cell membranes. This protein is made by a gene on Chromosome 21. Calcium ions play a crucial role in mediating immune activation and enhancing inflammation. The central idea is that elevated levels of this protein in Down syndrome contributes to inflammation by promoting activation of immune cells, and might therefore be instrumental in creating conditions leading to tissue damage. This will be tested in animal models and in samples from people with Down syndrome. This research will shed important light on an understudied aspect of Down syndrome biology, ion channels, which represent a large group of potential therapeutic targets.
Karl Pfenninger, M.D.
Developmental effects of APP overexpression in Down syndrome
The gene for the amyloid precursor protein (APP) is present on Chromosome 21. Although it is known primarily for its role in Alzheimer's disease, it may also be important for causing cognitive deficits in Down syndrome since it is produced in abnormally large amounts in the brains of individuals with Down syndrome, even early in development. This research group's preliminary studies suggest that extra APP does indeed cause abnormalities in the nervous system at an early age in a mouse model. Their results suggest that early intervention with therapies to reduce APP levels could help to ameliorate cognitive deficits in Down syndrome.

Genetic modifiers of autism spectrum disorders in patients with Down syndrome
Many children with Down syndrome are also diagnosed with autism spectrum disorders. Do genetic factors play an important role in the increased incidence of autism in individuals with Down syndrome? In order to identify these genetic factors, this research group will analyze the genomes of children with only Down syndrome and those with both conditions using cutting edge genome analysis tools. This will allow them to determine if differences in specific genes contribute to the prevalence of autism in association with Down syndrome. The identification of these genes will provide potential targets for therapeutic intervention to help alleviate social and behavioral impairments associated with autism in individuals with Down syndrome.

Does trisomy 21 cause dysregulation of cytotoxic lymphocyte-mediated cell killing?
Richard Spritz, M.D.
Professor, Human Medical Genetics, University of Colorado School of Medicine
Genetic analysis of autoimmunity in Down syndrome
More than half of patients with Down syndrome develop one or more autoimmune diseases – autoimmune thyroid disease, celiac disease, vitiligo, type 1 diabetes and rheumatoid arthritis. The Spritz lab has discovered a gene on chromosome 21 called UBASH3A that contributes to these diseases in non-Down syndrome patients. The lab will determine whether UBASH3A causes the very high risk of autoimmune diseases in Down syndrome. If it does, their findings will enable easy testing to identify the subgroup of Down syndrome individuals at highest risk and who would benefit from intensive clinical surveillance and early treatment.

Molecular pathology of cholinergic neurodegeneration in Ts65Dn mice
Neuron degeneration is likely a major cause of accelerated cognitive decline and dementia in adults with Down syndrome. The Stitzel lab will use a unique strategy to identify gene expression changes specifically in a key group of neurons before and after the onset of degeneration, in hopes of improving our understanding of the molecular pathology of neuron loss in Down syndrome.
Kelly Sullivan, Ph.D.
Instructor in the Department of Pharmacology, University of Colorado School of Medicine on the Anschutz Medical Campus
We will focus on a specific group of proteins, known as Interferons, which play potent and widespread roles in the immune system. This research will define the impact of modulating Interferon activity on cells from individuals with trisomy 21.

Professor, Molecular, Cellular and Developmental Biology, University of Colorado at Boulder
Presenilin and ubiquilin and their roles in Down syndrome treatments
Down syndrome patients are at high risk of developing Alzheimer's disease. Mutations in two genes, presenilin and ubiquilin have been shown to cause apoptosis, a major form of neurodegeneration in Alzheimer's. The Xue lab will use C. elegans as a model to study the mechanisms and signaling pathways of presenilin and ubiquilin and to identify treatments that can ameliorate the effects of Down syndrome and Alzheimer's.
Michael Yeager, Ph.D.
Assistant Professor, Pediatric Critical Care, University of Colorado School of Medicine
Depressed AIRE expression causes immune cell dysfunction & autoimmunity in Down syndrome
Immune system disturbances experienced by individuals with Down syndrome account for an enormous disease burden ranging from quality-of-life issues (hair loss), to more serious health issues (thyroid disease) and life-threatening issues (leukemia, respiratory tract infections). The Yeager lab will shed light on why the immune system does this. Their goal is to drive the development of newer therapies to help individuals with Down syndrome in their immune health care, from improved self-image to longer, more productive and happier lives.

Shereen Pandit (* in Kapstadt) ist eine britische Schriftstellerin, Juristin und politische Aktivistin südafrikanischer Herkunft.

Shereen Pandit entstammt einer muslimischen Familie. Sie studierte Rechtswissenschaften in London. Seit 1996 ist die Juristin und politische Aktivistin außerdem Autorin von Kurzgeschichten. Einige ihrer kurzen Erzählungen wurden preisgekrönt.

Shereen Pandit hegte immer schon den Wunsch, Schriftstellerin zu werden. Ihre Umgebung gab ihr jedoch immer den Rat, Juristin zu werden, da Juristen so dringend benötigt würden, weil die schwarze Gemeinde sich für ihre Menschenrechte und Freiheit einsetze und die Aktivisten dafür regelmäßig angeklagt und bestraft würden. Deshalb entschied Shereen Pandit sich, Anwältin zu werden. Doch genügte es ihr nicht, andere Aktivisten juristisch zu vertreten. Sie wollte ebenso für Menschenrechte und Freiheit eintreten, sich direkt einmischen.

Als politische Aktivistin geriet sie in Konflikt mit der Regierung Südafrikas, weshalb sie mit ihrem Ehemann vor der Strafverfolgung nach London floh. Hier konnte sie zwar ihren juristischen Beruf nicht mehr ausüben, dafür konnte sie umso mehr dafür sorgen, dass die menschenrechtsverletzende Behandlung der schwarzen Bevölkerung durch die Regierung Südafrikas einer größeren Öffentlichkeit bekannt wird.

Die Autorin sah einen Weg hierzu darin, Erzählungen und Gedichte zu schreiben, die in Anthologien und Zeitschriften veröffentlicht wurden. Der Großteil ihrer Erzählungen ist für Erwachsene verfasst. Die wenigen Geschichten der Autorin für Kinder erschienen sämtlich in dem Jugendmagazin "Young Writer".

Shereen Pandit ist verheiratet und hat eine Tochter, die ebenfalls Schriftstellerin ist. Pandit ist Mitglied folgender Autorenvereinigungen: African Writers Abroad, PEN Writers in Prisons Committee, Exiled Writers Ink!

Inter Milan open to letting Ranocchia leave this month.
Tottenham are exploring the possibility of signing Andrea Ranocchia as they seek cover for Jan Vertonghen. The Inter Milan defender is attracting interest from a number of Premier League clubs and could be allowed to leave on loan this month.
Mauricio Pochettino is considering bringing in defensive cover this month after first-choice central defender Vertonghen damaged his ankle during Spurs' win over West Bromwich Albion on 14 January. Toby Alderweireld also limped off with a hamstring problem during his side's enthralling draw with Manchester City on Saturday (21 January) but his injury is not believed to be serious.
West Ham United and Hull City are also believed to be interested in the 28-year-old, while Calciomercato claims the Italian's agent travelled to London last week for talks with the Premier League outfits. Ranocchia has fallen out of favour at the San Siro and Inter are looking to sell the former Genoa star, who has made just five starts in Serie A this season.
The Nerazzurri are looking to rid themselves of the Italy international for good and will only let him leave on loan if there is an agreement for around £5m in the summer. West Ham's interest in the towering centre-back has cooled after they completed the signing of Jose Fonte from Southampton for £8m last week, while Ranocchia was reportedly not interested in joining Hull, who are currently fighting for Premier League survival.
Ranocchia joined Inter from Genoa in 2010 and has gone on to make over 150 appearances for the former European Cup winners, but the arrivals of Miranda and Jeison Murillo in recent seasons have pushed the former Bari loanee closer to the exit door. The former Perugia youth graduate spent the second half of last season on loan at Sampdoria, who decided against making his stay at the Stadio Luigi Ferraris permanent.


Is there anything trendier in the world of cigars than the new barber pole phenomenon? The fad, characterized by two diagonally-woven, contrasting wrapper leaves, seems to be cropping up everywhere from CAO and Don Pepin to Arturo Fuente and Arganese.
But is this technique a sincere and creative attempt at new flavor combinations, or just a mere marketing gimmick? There's only one way to find out: one at a time.
I recently tried my luck with a few Dos Capas Churchills. They weigh in at seven inches with a 50 ring gauge and sell in the $4.50 to $5.50 range. I am told they can be had for $3 or less at times on Cbid.
Made at the Tabacalera Real factory in the Dominican Republic, these sticks are a bit bumpy and uneven with some large veins. Like most barber poles, the seams are less than perfect.
After an even light, I found well-balanced, light flavors of oak, straw, and black tea. With two contrasting wrappers, I guess it's no surprise that these earthy and woody notes – which aren't quite mild, but aren't quite full either – produce a taste that's complex and even on the palate.
Once the first few inches are turned into a solid, well-layered gray ash, the flavor leads into a big, warm tobacco taste that's familiar and inviting. I experienced a clear draw and a very even burn.
That good fortune turns sour towards the end, however, when heavy bitter notes kick in and the construction begins to suffer. I am also perturbed by the brown and gold band's tendency to tear the frail wrapper when it is removed.
For me, this cigar demonstrates how barber poles are double-edged swords. While two or more wrappers will often yield a balanced, noble taste, they can also pose troubling construction issues. So, for a promising start and a disappointing finale, I'm giving the Felipe Gregorio Dos Capas Churchill three out of five stogies.
Hey, shoulda told me you were doin' these when I mentioned I liked them the other night. I've got a buttload of them that I got for under $2 a stick that you would have been welcome to!
I just picked up a fiver of these from the devil site for $7. I hope some rest will loosen up the glue hold on the wrapper enough to get it off without tearing. Great review!
Good Review…I personally think that this is a great cigar regardless of the Gimmick aspect of the barber pole and the construction flaws that you point out. One last thing…I don't know who told you that Dos Capas translates to Two Capes but they were very wrong. Dos cabos is two capes. Dos Capas means two layers.


Will The Disney and Fox Deal Kill Future 20th Century Fox Theme Parks?
TPU Reader Enzo writes in to ask, "Hey any news on how the Disney buyout will affect the planned fox studios theme park in Miami?" Thanks for the question, Enzo! To be honest, I totally forgot about the Fox Studios Theme Park that was proposed for Miami. Back in 2015, we ran a story about how a developer in Miami wanted to build a theme park and water park complex using 20th Century Fox film franchises.
To be clear, this is not the actual studio who was looking to build this park, but rather a developer who acquired the rights to studio films such as "Ice Age," which would admittedly make for a pretty cool water park theme. Unfortunately, it seems that the park in Miami (known as Miami Wilds) is dead in the water. There are many environmental concerns that have been raised and their official Twitter account hasn't posted anything since 2015. I wouldn't hold my breath on this moving forward.
Meanwhile, you can certainly ask the same question about 20th Century Fox Malaysia which is already under construction. As of right now, that park is scheduled to open by the end of 2018 (though it seems like it will be delayed again). Even so, let's say the Disney acquisition of Fox will take place by then or even shortly after the park opens. Can they come in, plant a Disney flag and shut the joint down? Not at all.
Keep in mind, when it comes to most movie studio based theme parks outside of Disney and Universal, the movie studio doesn't actually own the park. Rather, they are being licensed by an outside developer who acquired those rights long ago. So in this case, the developer for both the Miami and Malaysia parks acquired the rights to the 20th Century Fox catalog back around 2013 or 2014.
Just like other Disney acquisitions, those companies still exist such as Pixar, Marvel, Lucasfilm, etc. Which means it doesn't void the contract for the people who already own those theme park rights. Moving forward does this make it harder for developers to acquire 20th Century Fox theme park rights once the Disney acquisition goes through? Absolutely. However, those already either under construction or in existence are legally bound to keep operating. A contract is a contract, regardless of who the parent company is. Thanks for the great question!

By Ishfaq Mughal | Published Dec 30, 2021 | 4:28 pm
The PTI government has incurred $39.7 billion in foreign loans and grants during its tenure of 40 months.
The Ministry of Economic Affairs Division has compiled its performance report under the PTI regime in this regard. The PTI government has availed $39.7 billion loan and grants from August 2018 to November 2021 from external sources.
FBR to Make Public Type of Tax Payments Made By Parliamentarians
On the other hand, the report states that the PTI government has paid $29.815 billion as external debt servicing from August 2018 to October 2021. Repayments data for November could not be included in the report.
The net inflow was $8.042 billion in 39-months (August 18 to November 21), which was $2.474 billion per year on average. The official said that the PML-N government had taken $49.762 billion as foreign loans and repaid $27.071 billion as debt servicing during the five-year tenure. Thus, the net inflow was $22.691 billion during the 5-years (4.538 billion/year on average).
The report shows that the country received $38.86 billion in external loans and grants from August 2018 to October 2021 during the tenure of the current regime. The government received $13.762 billion from multilateral banks including, World Bank, Asian Development Bank, Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank, and Islamic Development Bank.
It took loans and grants of $13.365 billion from Foreign Commercial Banks during the 39 months. The report shows that the main reliance of the PTI government for external borrowing remains on multilateral and commercial banks.
The government has received $3.87 billion from bilateral resources (foreign governments), including a $0.693 billion grant and a $3.174 billion loan. Pakistan also received $3.327 billion from International Monetary Fund (IMF), $3.542 billion from Bonds, and $1 billion from Safe Deposits from a friendly country.
During the period, the PTI government has taken $37.757 billion in loans and $1.007 billion in grants. The country received $693 million in grants from bilateral resources, $272 million from multilateral resources, and $43 million from Bonds. The IMF and Foreign Commercial Banks did not give any grants during the last 39 months.
According to the report, the foreign loan and grants were obtained to bridge the fiscal deficit, repayment of external payments, and liabilities, including debt servicing and meeting the development needs of the country.

It was further informed that the PML-N government had received $49.762 billion as foreign loans and repaid only $27.071 billion as debt servicing. Thus, the net inflow was $22.691 billion during the 5-years (4.538 billion/year on average). As compared to debt servicing of $27.071 billion from July 2013 to June 2018 ($5.414 billion/year on average) by the previous government, the present government inherited a historic high level of debt 18 servicing.
As a result of this, the present government had to pay $29.815 billion from August 2018 to October 2021 ($9.174 billion/year on average) on account of external debt servicing, including principal and interest.

Twitter Coin could become the social network's cryptocurrency
Rumors that Twitter Coin may become the social network's official cryptocurrency are growing. Users of the platform are analyzing data and formulating their own theories in the wake of the leaks.
The buy of Twitter by Elon Musk marked a turning point in the future and progress of the platform. Musk has implemented a large number of changes, and while previously the bluebird's social network was already the one closest to digital assets, this aspect has now been strengthened. The community plays a key role in making cryptocurrencies so present on the platform and it is the same community that seems to have discovered a possible cryptocurrency for the platform itself.
Twitter Coin, Twitter's cryptocurrency.
The rumor about a possible "Coin Twitter"has only grown in recent weeks. It is believed that the administration is developing a resource that could be used to make payments and tips to creators locally within Twitter.
Twitter's cryptocurrency community has taken it upon itself to dig and search for information about the asset. The profile of Nima Owjian account that focuses on leaks related to Twitter itself, posted information about this possible Twitter Coin. December 3, launched a string of tweets in which he shows a The initial interface of what looks like the Twitter wallet.where purchases and exchanges can be made, as well as tip creators. In the second part of the tweet, you can see a vector image Of the coin logo itselfwith the Twitter logo on the inside.
The researcher's account and "leaker" Jane Manchun Wongalso posted tweets in which she claimed to have extracted a development version of the Twitter interface showing both the Twitter Coin wallet and the Twitter Coin logo.. For some unknown reason, the posts were deleted from Wong's account, but this is not the first time the woman has posted information about a possible digital asset wallet on Twitter. In October of this year, Wong posted a series of tweets, also deleted, stating that a portfolio of native digital assets was being developed within Twitter.

The hashtag TwitterCoin has been very active in recent days.. The community is showing great interest in the possibility that Twitter is working on an alternative to fiat currencies as a method of payment.. Many blame this attempted change on the arrival of Elon Musk on the platform.
The rumor of a possible Twitter Coin has also divided the community over its ideas. With the indiscretion about Twitter Coin, the Twitter Coin part of the the community that supports Integration of Doge Coin into the platform has resurfaced to support the asset.. Many users believe that these leaks are nothing more than a smokescreen to hide the fact that Twitter is working on the final integration of DOGE as a currency within the platform.
The community continues to believe in a possible integration of DOGE due to Elon Musk's own affinity for the project.. In the past, Musk has made a number of comments that have led to an increase in the value of the asset.
Musk himself referred to the integration of digital assets into Twitter on December 4, during the last Twitter Space. Musk has made it known that he is still interested in integrating cryptocurrencies into the social network.
"There is no doubt that Twitter is interested in having payment methods, both fiat and crypto.".

Joe Walsh Guesting on ABC's 'The Conners' Tomorrow Night
by Erik Lane | Jan 18, 2022 | DJ Blogs, Erik | 0 comments
The Eagles' Joe Walsh is headed back to the small screen. The Rock and Roll Hall of Famer, who had a recurring role back in the day on ABC's The Drew Carey Show, is set for a guest spot tomorrow night (Wednesday, January 19th) on the network's Roseanne spinoff, The Conners.
Executive producer Bruce Helford — who also was the show runner on Drew Carey told ET: "Joe wants to break up Harris and Aldo. He doesn't feel like it's a right match. (He and Dan) go at it, which is really fun."
Helford also revealed the pair end up singing a song together, adding, "That's also pretty damn wonderful." The Conners airs Wednesdays at 9 p.m. ET/PT on ABC.
TL; DR
The Eagles' Joe Walsh will appear on Wednesday night (January 19th) on ABC's The Conners.
Out now is Joe Walsh's recent three-track EP, titled Prayers, which pairs the Eagles guitarist with classical Indian Sarod virtuoso composer Amjad Ali Khan. The two originally met while Walsh was visiting India, which led to the pair playing together at the Taj Mahal Hotel in Mumbai. Walsh invited Amjad and his two sons, to come to L.A. last year and record together.
Among the others playing on the Prayers set are Stewart Copeland, longtime Elton John guitarist Davey Johnstone, and Walsh's friends and legendary studio vets, Joe Vitale, Nathan East, and Leland Sklar, among others.


The common poetry of mountain and sea and a meeting between Nordic folk music and the alpine tradition has pride of place at this concert. For the twelfth year, singer Helene Blum and violinist Harald Haugaard will be on their Christmas tour, and for the first time, the two musicians move a bit away from the Nordic countries and invite the two virtuoso Austrian musicians, Julia Lacherstorfer and Simon Söchbauer from the duo "Ramsch & Rosen", to join them. With fine sensitivity, inspiration from classical, jazz and experimental music flows unhindered through their repertoire.
Timeless musical beauty reveals itself, whether in lively Scandinavian and alpine dances, or in the quiet and universal "Silent Night". This song is originally from Austria, but is known and loved throughout the world, including Denmark, where it is considered one of the most popular Christmas carols (Glade Jul).

What Is Nystatin Cream?
By Anna Aronson ; Updated November 28, 2018
Nystatin is a prescription anti-fungal medication used to treat fungal infections of the intestinal tract, mouth, vagina and skin. Common infections it is used for include ringworm, jock itch and athlete's foot, according to Drugs.com. Nystatin can be taken orally, but creams are also available to be applied directly to the affected skin.
Nystatin cream weakens the cell membranes of the fungal cells the drug is targeting. Once the membrane weakens, the contents of the cell begin to leak out, eventually causing the infectious cells to die, thereby curing the infection, according to Drugs.com.
When using Nystatin cream to clear a fungal infection, clean and dry the area first. Place a small amount of the cream on the affected skin and work in to the skin thoroughly, according to the National Institutes of Health. If you are using a vaginal cream, insert it high into the vagina, closely following the application instructions. Do not use tampons while using Nystatin cream in the vagina.
Commonly reported side effects for people using Nystatin creams or vaginal creams include burning, itching and irritation on the skin around where the medicine was applied, according to the National Institutes of Health. In rare cases, allergic reactions are possible. Signs of a severe allergic reaction include hives, chest tightness, difficulty breathing, and swelling of the face and mouth.
Nystatin cream is non-toxic and has no known drug interactions, according to RXList. Additionally, there are no known contraindications for people suffering from certain medical conditions or illnesses. However, do not use Nystatin cream without first speaking with your doctor if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. If you become pregnant while using Nystatin, contact your doctor immediately.
Store Nystatin cream in the packaging it came in from the pharmacy, and keep the cap or lid firmly in place. Refrigerate skin creams and vaginal cream, and do not allow them to freeze, according to the National Institutes of Health.

According to World Vision, an international NGO operating at the grass roots level, 80% of health complications in rural Uganda are not treated at all. Many people suffer, voiceless and helpless, with no avenue for assistance. With the use of information technology, however, many debilitating diseases can be prevented or treated through education or early intervention.
PCE Foundation plans to use Information and Communication Technology (ICT) to identify and education those most at risk. Our focus will be on prevention and treatment of HIV/AIDS, malaria, and reproductive health issues; however, the disabled and those with rare diseases will also benefit.
Photographs, videos and audio recordings documenting real life situations will be developed using ICT tools. These records and documentaries will be used for educational purposes in community training events and for winning support and treatment for the victims from health care organizations and entities.
Although this program has not yet been formally launched due to a lack of funding, Pearl Foundation has already taken on several health care promotions, including:
Partnering with the AIDS Support Organization (TASO) to counsel and test 203 people in the community for HIV.
Sending 69 specially trained young women from the Rural Girl Child Mentorship program back to their respective villages to provide peer-to-peer mentorship on issues such as early marriage, pregnancy and HIV. In January 2014, we reached 812 girls through this effort in communities where villagers have no access to health care and girls are routinely married at a very early age.
Distributing hundreds of condoms donated by Wellesley College.
We have barely scratched the surface of possibilities in this area, and with support, we hope to move forward with our preventative health initiative as soon as possible. We would like to provide emergency support care to people living with HIV and those with complicated health issues, including pregnant mothers whose lives are at risk. Reproductive heath, sex education, water and sanitation, malaria preventive measures, and de-worming are some of the key areas of our intervention. The basics that we will need to implement our health goals include an ambulance/emergency van, a laptop, projector, generator, camcorder, quality still cameras, stationary, and funds for the rental of venues.

The Story Behind TasteIran Logo
You may already know the purpose and values of TasteIran, by reading the story behind our mission. Thus, you know that our main goal is to encourage people from everywhere in the world to discover the beauties and stories of Iran, through its century-old culture.
So you may wonder what does the logo of TasteIran represent. And maybe you've already recognized some typical Persian patterns. Indeed, TasteIran logo is a combination of our dearest symbols in Iranian tradition, which carry the idea of welcoming the visitor to our home, hence our beautiful land. But let's get into the details.
Mandalas, a love for symmetry and purity of lines
The main shape you might recognize is the mandala. Often associated with Hinduism and Buddhism, mandalas are, in fact, a common feature of Persian architecture and arts throughout the centuries. The lotus flowers decorating the walls of Persepolis, for instance, remind the mandalas patterns, which can be found in so many Iranians handicrafts, from Mina Kari to carpets and woodwork. Any visitor can appreciate the most stunning mandalas by raising the head under the dome of any mosque, to get mesmerized by the patterns of its ceiling. Symmetry is a key feature of Persian architecture and arts. The most stunning example of Persian mandala is the ceiling of Sheikh Lotfollah mosque in Isfahan, with its incredible interlaced circles and squares.
Shamseh, the kind light of the sun
This stunning and unique mandala in Sheikh Lotfollah mosque represents the most iconic Persian pattern: "Shams", or "Shamseh", which means "sun" in Arabic. This circular pattern is a representation of the universe: the many rays gravitating around the center symbolize all the creatures of this world, linked to God, represented by the center. The Shamseh is thus the symbol of the divine and benevolent light of the sun. This motif was wildly used during the Safavid time in Iran, and is not only an architecture feature but can also be found in every Persian craft, from tiling to embroidery and miniature. In TasteIran logo, this symbol is here as a reminder that all visitors are welcomed in Iran under the light of kindness and hospitality.
The Persian Blue and Green Colors
In the Persian tradition, this light of kindness is supposed to be blue, and this is why blue color is everywhere in Iran, from the sparkling domes of the mosques to the fine Mina Kari vase of Isfahan. This blue is unique and known as Persian Blue. It comes in three major tones, from Persian blue proper (bright medium blue) to medium Persian blue (a slightly grayish blue), and dark Persian blue (close to indigo color). This Persian Blue color is a representation of the Lapis Lazuli, this precious and amazing stone which comes from Iran and Afghanistan. Along with the Persian Blue Color, TasteIran logo has mostly tones of Persian Green, which is the other main color associated with Iran. It's also a precious stone which has given birth to the Persian Green color: the malachite. This green is close to the blue color and is very popular in Iran, thus, it can be found in all traditional architecture and handicrafts. It is a symbol of nature and embodies Persian Gardens, themselves a representation of heaven and purity.
Kubeh, an offer to taste what is behind the door
Finally, as an invitation to step in and discover the land of Iran, the logo of TasteIran also includes a Kubeh. This round and long shape can be found on the wooden doors at the entrance of the houses in the old villages of Iran, as well as the ancient neighborhood of the cities. It is the ancestor of the doorbell. As for the name TasteIran, the Kubeh is an invitation to "taste" what is behind the door and discover the wonders of Iran. It is the sign that visitors are welcomed wholeheartedly. It represents the importance of having guests in Persian culture. Kubeh exists in two shapes, one for men, the other for women, producing two different sounds to indicate to the host the gender of the visitor. But knocked alternatively, the Kubeh signifies the arrival of a favorite group of guests, and thus, the beginning of a joyful gathering between the host and its guests. The background of the door knockers is circular in order to remind Shams, the sun, and thus welcome visitors under the light of kindness.
All these are the purposes of TasteIran. It's an invitation to enter our home, under the benevolent light of the sun, and taste all the wonders of Iran which are waiting behind the doors.

FinanceAsia Names HDFC Bank As 'Best Bank in India'
Uma Kannan
Chennai, NFAPost: HDFC Bank has been recognised as the 'Best Bank in India' by global magazine FinanceAsia for the 4th consecutive year. The Bank was adjudged as India's top bank at the publication's Country Awards for Achievement 2020 for its conservative retail lending policies and security of deposits.
In its editorial on the bank, FinanceAsia states, "It feels like a secure home for depositors aware of rising levels of fraud cases across the wider financial services sector. The bank's conservative retail lending policies also means that financial analysts believe it will be able to navigate through the COVID-19 storm that put the country under a strict curfew."
In its latest issue, the magazine writes, "HDFC Bank's hold on this award has only strengthened during the awards period. As many financial analysts have noted, India's most profitable private sector bank has become a safe port in very stormy seas for an Indian economy beset by slowing growth and a banking sector weighed down by bad loans. This safety first ethos is reflected in the bank's capital and NPL ratios. S&P data shows an overall CAR of 18.25% for FY 2020 compared to 16.77% the year before, of which core tier 1 amounted to 17.01%."
FinanceAsia's annual Country Awards for Achievement recognises outperforming banks from countries in the Asia-Pacific region. The magazine bestows the recognition on the banks after taking into consideration their performance, vision, and long-term strategy.
For the second year running, a high-profile editorial advisory board also aided the editors by providing a peer review across the region.
HDFC Bank is one of India's leading private banks and was among the first to receive approval from the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) to set up a private sector bank in 1994. Today, HDFC Bank has a banking network of 5,326 branches and 14,996 ATMs spread across 2,825 cities and towns.

This post is all about the latest trends in bathrooms and kitchens, from my recent tour of PORCELANOSA in Valencia, Spain.
I've been thinking of re-doing my bathroom and kitchen lately, and so this showroom tour, a source of inspiration, was especially relevant to me.
We started the tour with some artistic fun, by tracing over the pencil illustrations on tiles, created by Spanish artist, Coté Escrivá.
Here is the tile wall completed. The black stone basin above, with its clean cut contemporary lines and luxury feel has now made it to my bathroom wish list. This beautiful wall mounted Noken tap, designed by renowned Italian designer, Simone Micheli, was also a favourite. How cool is this? A wooden stand with a groove for a mobile phone or ipod, that can be connected wirelessly to a sound system behind the mirror. This is KRION™, PORCELANOSA's next generation in solid surfaces.
What's amazing about KRION™, is that it can be cut into sheets, joined and thermoformed to make seamless surfaces and curved shapes.
I was wowed at the live demo, showing us how resistant KRION™ was to acid and stains. This would definitely be the perfect work surface material for busy kitchens. Here is a basin shaped out of KRION™ . This white and gold bathroom is just gorgeous. The gold basin looked great when contrasted against black.
PORCELANOSA is more than just tiles and bathroom. This concrete effect wall, was made from one of their products called micro cement. We were shown how easy it was to mix and apply to walls.
What's wonderful about micro cement is that it is waterproof, and so can be used as the walls in showers. We also got to tour PORCELANOSA's large collection of kitchens.
How clever is this storage solution above the sink? I realised I haven't talked much about tiles,so take a peek at the image above.
They look like wood don't they, but are actually tiles. Rather than have wooden floors in wet areas such as the kitchen or bathroom, these would make perfect alternatives.
Hope you have enjoyed my take on the latest trends in bathrooms and kitchens at PORCELANOSA.
