Asthma Found to Ease in Children Living in 'Green' Public Housing. Study finds that steps taken to improve indoor environment impacts even youngest residents there
A new study reports that asthmatic children from low-income families who live in "green" housing — as opposed to conventional public housing — had considerably improved asthma symptoms, and fewer asthma attacks and hospitalizations. The study, "Health Benefits of Green Public Housing: Associations with Asthma Morbidity and Building-Related Symptoms," appeared in Public Health, a publication of the American Health Association.
"Green design incorporates many aspects that could reduce environmental exposures and improve health, such as the removal of pollution sources and the addition of exhaust ventilation," Meryl D. Colton, MS, researcher at Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health at Harvard University, said in a press release. "Our study is unique in that it is the first green housing study large enough to examine changes in some important outcomes such as children's asthma attacks and hospital visits."
According to the study's background, environmental pollutants and morbidities have a higher incidence in low-income housing. Based on this information, Dr. Colton and her team compared the health scores of residents in greener public housing units with those of more conventional public housing.
The researched team surveyed over 200 residents and visually inspected areas to determine residents' overall health and to check for symptoms of Sick Building Syndrome (SBS) and asthma-related morbidity. More than 400 inspections were made between March 2012 and May 2013, with a follow-up the following year.
The team found the "green unit" residents had 1.35 fewer SBS symptoms (95% CI, 0.66-2.05) than the other residents, and asthmatic children in green units showed a decreased risk of asthma symptoms (OR = 0.34; 95% CI, 0.12-1), asthma outbreaks (OR = 0.31; 95% CI, 0.11-0.88), school absences related to asthma (OR = 0.21; 95% CI, 0.06-0.74), and hospital visits (OR = 0.24; 95% CI, 0.06-0.88).
"Better buildings and better policies, such as better pest control practices and smoke-free policies, can effectively improve indoor environmental quality and improve health," said researcher Gary Adamkiewicz, PhD, MPH, assistant professor of environmental health and exposure disparities. "We're seeing the evidence that these approaches work in practice. We know that housing has a direct and meaningful effect on health. When you improve conditions, you can see the health benefits."
Previous studies have also shown that poverty is a critical factor in asthma development in children living in urban areas, adding to the argument that environmental and other improvements to public housing can positively affect both the residents' quality of life and their health.

Situated on a sloping site, the 3-storey building provides consulting rooms for GPs, rooms for dental services, outreach staff, podiatry treatment, facilities for minor surgical procedures and meeting rooms. The waiting area is situated in the central atrium, with bridges at each upper floor level providing access within the building.
The building is predominantly naturally ventilated, with mechanical ventilation in zones where there is a clinical need. Heat recovery recuperators minimise the energy consumption to heat fresh air and to minimise waste heat rejected from the building. The atrium makes use of natural ventilation to dissipate heat via high-level automatic opening louvres. The louvres act as part of a smoke control system designed to maintain tenable conditions within the atrium space.
The building incorporates a number of sustainable design features, including deep boreholes that enable ground source heat recovery. Under floor heating and cooling systems in the atrium optimise the efficiency of the ground source heat pump system. The building features an enhanced BEMS system, incorporating 2-port valves that optimise variable speed pumping and minimise pumping energy.
The lighting design utilises a daylight linking technology to automatically dim artificial light when natural daylight is sufficient. This reduces the amount of energy required for lighting and reduces unwanted heat gain to the internal spaces. Where appropriate, rooms are fitted with occupancy-sensing light controls, thus reducing energy wastage.

If you suffer from Depression and need help to overcome it, we can help with CBT for Depression in Bristol.
Depression can affect people in a range of different ways and symptoms can range from relatively mild depression, through to more moderate and severe levels. The level of treatment that we may recommend is dependent upon the severity of your depression and how it affects your life on a day-to-day basis.
If your depression is mild, we may suggest monitoring your situation for a while as in some cases, simple lifestyle changes such as implementing an exercise routine or simply following some self-help literature can be of great benefit, and we will work with you to develop a plan that is likely to be useful and reduce your symptoms in the soonest possible time.
For those suffering from moderate to a more severe levels of depression, our treatment for depression in Bristol may include Cognitive Behavioural Therapy which has been shown to be a simple and highly effective way to tackle symptoms of depression. We may suggest medication as well as therapy in some instances, especially if it is affecting you severely or if you have had it for a long time. If this is the case our therapists with work with you and your GP to ensure that you receive a package of treatment that is likely to be the most effective.
Bristol Temple Meads train station is a mere 8 minutes walk from the practice and it is easy to find by car if you are driving. You will find ample on-street parking around the clinic as well as several car parks in the vicinity – including directly opposite the clinic.
This clinic is ideally located for easy access for people coming on the M5. Our Westbury-on-Trym clinic is a quiet and private location that avoid the need to travel into the city centre.

All collections / Venice Blue
Venice Blue
To get this very still shot of Venice, Matthew Welch awoke at 4am to shoot the Venice canal an hour before sunrise when the canal was still and the boats aren't on the water yet. He shot this image in February when there is less boat traffic as well, although it isn't warm at 4am in February....This is also a long exposure photo, which provides the smooth water effect.
While this image is a 6x7 ratio, it can also work as a 2x3 ratio (e.g. a 40x60 rather than a 40x47), as well as a panoramic image. If either of these versions will work better for your space than those listed above on this page, please just reach out to us at art@pacificcoast.gallery or by using this form.
Matthew Welch is a Los Angeles based photographer who has resided variously in New York, London and Sweden. When not roaming the world shooting FLOWs and MEGAs, he's shot advertising campaigns for clients like Kodak and Match.com. He started shooting as a kid in the late 70's using his Dad's old Olympus Pen-F half frame cameras and developing the black & white film in a homemade darkroom in his basement. He began his photographic career in the late 80's shooting concert photos for various indie bands like Jawbox and Fugazi and also SPIN Magazine. He worked with Kodak in the mid 90's, and was an early pioneer launching digital photography with Kodak, back when advanced digital cameras were 1 megapixel.
He studied photography and psychology and has degrees from Harvard and Georgetown. While at Georgetown, he was a teaching assistant to Dr. Dave Carter, and worked with Professor Carter to develop the Psychology & Photography curriculum. This study of the psychological aspects of photography influences his work to this day.
Matthew's book of Flows, Just Another Day, was published in 6 languages and, at almost 40,000 copies, the first edition was one of the most widely read photo books in the world when it was published. He's currently working on the second edition. With his wife Monica, he's also the founder of Pacific Coast Gallery. You can read more about Matt here.
This photo is a part of Matthew's MEGA series.
Standard Sizes: Choose from our range of standard sizes. To help select the right size, you can see our standard sizes in a room above a standard couch here (please note this photo is in a different aspect ratio, so the sizes are slightly different than those pictured, but they are directionally the same, e.g. 40x47 versus 40x60 in the photos pictured in the rendered living room photos in the previous link), and details on the widths of the photo, border, linen liner and frames by photo size can be found here.
Color or Black & White: Almost all of our images can be ordered as either black and white or color (unless they were originally shot on BW film). We're one of the first galleries to offer you this choice. We figure the photo is going to end up in your house on your walls, so you should have the choice about how it looks, to fit with your decor and sense of style.
Framed - Our photographic prints, acrylic facemounts and matte aluminum prints can come framed or unframed. All of our frames are custom handcrafted, and we offer a range of framing options.
Back in 1998, we first had the idea to start a new type of art gallery, based around three principles. The first is an obsession with quality. We offer some of the highest-resolution photos ever captured, some over 3 gigapixels, which is 3000 megapixels, which can be printed up to 100 feet wide tack sharp. And we're equally fanatical about printing. Each photo is individually custom printed and hand framed using the best technology and materials available today.
Cropping: Based on the size you order, the image may be cropped slightly to fit the size ordered (e.g. an 8.5x11 or a 13x19 image is a slightly different aspect ratio than the 6x7 native aspect ratio that this photo was captured in, and as such it will be slightly cropped to fit). Please note some 8.5x11s and 13x19s will come with wider borders if the crop would cause us to have to crop off a meaningful part of the image. In these cases, we will print the entire image uncropped, which will result in slightly wider borders on the side.

I started my digital marketing journey four years ago. I kept reading I should consider blogging but they never said how to find topics to blog about.
They only said "find topics your audience is interested in" or "write about the things people are searching for".
It's great advice. But it's completely unactionable.
I mean, how do we find these topics? And how do we get the feedback?
That's exactly what you're going to learn today so keep reading.
How do twitter polls work?
Why do twitter polls work?
How can I create a Twitter poll?
About a year ago, I started using polls on Twitter (I was terrible at it). I created my poll, added a nice call to action, and waited.
Not a single vote on the poll. I decided to try again, only this time, I chose a different topic. I checked my analytics to see what my audience cared about and made a list of interests.
I figured if it didn't work I could try a different topic until I succeeded. There was one problem, though.
I didn't have a lot of attention on me. And the results I got were a reflection of that. I realized that after a month of testing and failure.
You're going to learn how to make Twitter polls work for you. You'll learn how to get the attention you need and how to create polls that help you increase engagement.
It's simple. You choose a topic you like, ask a question, write up to 4 answers, select the poll length, and click on "tweet".
After that, your poll goes to a part of your followers. They will vote and you'll get feedback. Once it finishes, a new notification will appear in your notifications tab.
When we use Twitter there are some things that usually go through our minds. Some people use the service to stay alert on breaking news, others use Twitter to "keep up with news in general". Many say to "pass the time", and a few use the network to second-screen during live events.
Knowing this, we can create polls that leverage those topics to engage our audience. For instance, let's say that Twitter released news about changes to the platform. We can create a poll asking people for their opinion.
Twitter plans to release threads to the public (also known as tweetstorms). How do you think it'll impact the platform?
There's going to be more spam.
It'll give us more room to express ourselves.
It's going to destroy Twitter.
Twitter polls work because we want the feeling of importance (to give our opinion). They leverage fear, curiosity, and/or entertainment to get our attention. You'll learn how to create an effective poll in the next section.
Before we get started, there's something you need to know. If your account is new or you have NO engagement on your Twitter account, you'll have to promote your polls.
If you have some attention on you, then consider skipping the "promotion" step.
You'll see 5 tabs (home, tweets, audiences, events, and more). Click on "audiences".
Scroll down until you see the "interests" section.
Make a list of the first 5 interests. This is what your followers want; use those topics to guide you when creating your polls.
The main reason people fail is they were doomed from the start.
Login to your account (if you don't have one then create one).
The next steps depend on what you want.
Search for your main topic on the "most shared" tab.
Analyze the topics that appear in the search results (make a list of the titles with the most engagement and save the links).
If you want news related content, click on "trending now".
Select the category you are interested in.
Analyze the results and choose a topic your audience cares about.
Save the link of the article.
If there's a "top stories" section at the top of your search, copy the titles they use in a Google doc.
Scroll down to the end of the search results.
Copy all the "related searches" in your Google doc.
Click the following link if you want to read the full list of TSOs.
Type in your advanced search.
By now you should already have a list of searches in your Google doc. You are going to use them to find conversations on Twitter.
On TweetDeck start a new search for every related search you found on Google.
Analyze the results and identify the words people use the most. Make a list of them.
It has to be specific.
If possible keep it under 100 characters.
Use the language they normally use to connect.
Your message has to have a call to action.
It depends on the device you are using (mobile or desktop) but the process is similar.
Click on the Tweet compose box at the top of your Home timeline, or click the Tweet button in the top navigation bar.
Click the Add poll icon.
Click + Add a choice to add more options to your poll. Your poll can have up to four options.
Your poll's duration defaults to 1 day. You can change the duration of your poll by clicking 1 day and adjusting the days, hours, and minutes. The least amount of time for a poll is 5 minutes, and the most is 7 days.
Tap the Tweet compose icon.
Tap the Add poll icon.
Tap + Add a choice to add more options to your poll. Your poll can have up to four options.
Your poll's duration defaults to 1 day. You can change the duration of your poll by tapping 1 day and adjusting the days, hours, and minutes. The least amount of time for a poll is 5 minutes, and the most is 7 days.
At this point, you should already have a few active searches on TweetDeck. What you'll do now is analyze your results. Engage with the content that shows up and ask for people to vote on your poll. I call this method TOM (Twitter outreach model).
If you don't have a clear process for content creation and promotion, it'll be difficult to replicate your results.
Click on the upper right part of a tweet.
Click on "copy link to tweet.
Tap on the bottom right part of a tweet (it looks like the send icon).
Tap on "share tweet via".
Tap on "copy link to tweet".
Having said that, give your content the best chance to succeed. If you don't have a lot of attention on you, make sure to promote it.
What's your favorite way to engage your audience?
Great article, Jonathan! I haven't really used Twitter polls to the full extent, but this has just opened my eyes to it.

Democrats at War with Century-Old Firearm Technology
KAREN BLEIER/AFP/Getty
AWR Hawkins
The Democrat Party is in open warfare against semiautomatic firearms even though the technology behind such weapons dates back to at least 1903.
In other words, while Democrats present semiautomatic firearms as some sort of new development that gives heretofore unimagined levels of firepower to civilians, the reality is that Colt began selling semiautomatic firearms in 1903. Named the 1903, the pistol was a semiautomatic chambered in .32 caliber.
The Colt 1908 was as a variation of the 1903, but was chambered in the larger .380 caliber:

A post shared by AWR Hawkins (@awr_hawkins) on Oct 10, 2018 at 10:35am PDT
One of Colt's all-time best sellers–a semiautomatic handgun called the 1911–was adopted in 1911 and entered production in 1912. The 1911 remains a go-to pistol for open carry, concealed carry, competition, and .45 caliber enthusiasts in general. The ultra-reliability of the design has led to 1911s chambered in other rounds, such as 9mm and 10mm.
And it should be noted that a 1911 handgun typically holds 7 to 8 rounds, regardless of caliber.
Despite the century old-status of semiautomatic technology–115 year-old technology to be exact–the Democrats war against semiautomatics as if they are military-grade weapons introduced into the civilian market recently. They chiefly try to do this with AR-15s, which Barack Obama repeatedly referred to "weapons of war" during his tenure in the White House. The AP quoted him describing AR-15s as "weapons of war" following the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting.
Obama's fight against the commonly-owned semiautomatic rifle was completely devoid of any admission that the AR-15 itself was designed the 1950s and went into production shortly thereafter. Neither the gun nor the technology behind it are in any way new to the American firearm retail market.
Yet the majority of Democrat office holders refer to commonly-owned semiautomatic rifles as "assault weapons," and the push to ban them is incessant.
Following the February 14, 2018, Parkland high school shooting rank and file Democrats dropped all show of pretense and simply called for a ban on semiautomatic weapons, period. On March 2, 2018, the Washington Examiner published a YouGov poll that showed 73 percent of all Democrats wanted to ban semiautomatic weapons. In other words, whether the semiautomatic was a rifle or a pistol, it needed to be taken and destroyed.
Again, semiautomatic firearms in America date back to at least 1903, why are the Democrats in an all-out war against them now?

Read more about the pipeline exporting Azerbaijani gas to the world markets
The South Caucasus Pipeline (SCP) was built to export Shah Deniz gas from Azerbaijan to Georgia and Turkey. The pipeline starts from the Sangachal terminal near Baku. It follows the route of the Baku-Tbilisi-Ceyhan (BTC) crude oil pipeline through Azerbaijan and Georgia to Turkey, where it is linked to the Turkish gas distribution system.
SCP was constructed jointly with BTC in order to minimise the environmental and social impact and to achieve capital and operating cost saving synergies.
South Caucasus Pipeline Company (SCPC) has been responsible for the construction and operation of the whole pipeline.
So SCP has a dual operatorship with BP as the technical operator being responsible for construction and operation of the SCP facilities and SOCAR Midstream Operations Limited, as commercial operator, is responsible for SCP's business administration.
The pipeline has been operational since late 2006 transporting gas to Azerbaijan and Georgia, and starting from July 2007 to Turkey from Shah Deniz Stage 1.
The length of the pipeline is 691km, with 443 km in Azerbaijan and 248 km in Georgia. The diameter is a 42-inch.
In the first half of 2019, SCP spent about $20 million in operating expenditure and more than $24 million in capital expenditure in total.
The SCP has been operational since late 2006, transporting Shah Deniz gas to Azerbaijan, Georgia and Turkey. The expanded section of the pipeline commenced commercial deliveries to Turkey in June 2018.The daily average throughput of SCP was about 28 million cubic metres of gas per day during the first half of 2019.
The SCP has a dual operatorship with BP as the technical operator being responsible for construction and operation of the pipeline facilities and SOCAR Midstream Operations, as commercial operator, responsible for the commercial operations of the pipeline.
The SCP Co. shareholders are: BP (28.8 per cent), TPAO (19.0 per cent), AzSCP (10.0 per cent), SGC Midstream (6.7 per cent), PETRONAS (15.5 per cent), LUKOIL (10.0 per cent) and NICO (10.0 per cent)


Exactly 100years back on this very day more than 1000 innocent, unarmed men, women and children were brutally massacred.
April 13, 1919 is a day no Bharatiya should forget. This was the day when the "Butcher of Amritsar" Brigadier General Reginald Dyer unleashed his barbarism on us Bharatiya.
Let us all pay homage to those martyrs.
Let us also ask how did a handful of people from far off lands and a little history (relative to Bharat's over 8000years old) bleed us for almost 1000years?
Indonesia, Brunei and culturally dominating China and Japan (through Buddhism) – shrink so rapidly?
World's oldest universities which attracted students from across the world, just like today's American universities do, were from Bharat – Takshashila (today Pakistan) and Nalanda (Bihar). These two universities imparted education for free including stay and food. How did we lose this pioneering status in the field of education?
How did Alexander, Ghouris, Ghaznis, Khiljis, Tughlaqs, Mughals, Dutch, Portuguese, British and their 'agents' manage to unleash their brutality on us repeatedly?
Does the challenge lie within us Bharatiya? Does this call for introspection?
as "Atmanirikshan Divas" or Introspection Day?

Burning Vision is a play in four movements, taking place on the clock-like stage divided into four quadrants and tracing the journey of uranium through four locations, in four nations, and through the four elements: from the lands belonging to the Sahtu Dene First Nation in Port Radium, Northwest Territories; to the fires in the refineries in Port Hope, Ontario; across the waters in ships to Los Alamos, New Mexico; and finally into the air in the form of the bomb that dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki in 1945. Each leg of this traverse implicates the people who live there and connects them to one another, whether they are aware of this connection or not. In this literary analysis, we will examine one of the ways that Clements plays with theatrical conventions to stage these connections across characters and histories.
In Clements' play, many of the characters have doubles, and as the actors move from one role to another, the audience becomes aware of how fortuitous bonds between individuals and communities become established through the accidental collision of large-scale historical events—from the Pacific War, to Japanese Canadian internment camps, to Indian residential schools, to the history of resource extraction in Canada. This theatrical convention of character doubling is one that writers cannot readily replicate in print genres. For example, the Grandson Koji, who may be the son of Koji and Rose, is raised by the Dene Widow, who is a double cast with the character of the Japanese Grandmother.
Fat Man (Allan Morgan) confronts Round Rose (Julie Tamako Manning) and Little Boy (Nathan Dubois). Photograph by Tim Matheson. Reproduced with permission from Rumble Theatre and Urban Ink Productions.
The part of Koji the child is played by the same actor as Little Boy. Little Boy himself seems to represent more than one character. In the notes on the characters at the beginning of the play, Little Boy is described as "[t]he personification of the darkest uranium found at the centre of the earth" (Clements n. pag.). Along with the uranium ore, Little Boy is shipped from Sahtu Dene territory to the nuclear test site in New Mexico where, displaced from his family and ancestral territory, he becomes Fat Man's adopted Indigenous child. With Round Rose (who is based on Iva Toguri, a Japanese American university student coerced by the Japanese government to play the role of the radio personality, Tokyo Rose, and later tried for treason by the American government), the three characters become a 'nuclear' family. "Little Boy" and "Fat Man" are the code names of the atomic bombs dropped by the United States on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, respectively. Little Boy simultaneously becomes the "child" of the Dene Prophesy. Fat Man is also a nuclear test dummy, who is waiting for the atomic blast in a plywood house in the desert in New Mexico, with his companions Little Boy and Round Rose, whom he considers "enemy aliens," the same label the Canadian government applied to Japanese Canadians. In closely linking Koji, Little Boy, Round Rose, and Fat Man, Clements is creating uncanny echoes between Japanese, Ainu, Canadian, Dene, and Métis histories.
Through the theatrical convention of actors doubling, Clements draws our attention to complicated historical relations and how we are positioned within these histories. The importance of shared responsibility is reinforced powerfully when the Dene See-er announces that "The people they dropped this burning on, [they] looked like us, the Dene" (119). The play uses this moment of recognition to raise provocative questions about how we are implicated within, and perhaps even responsible for, each other's histories.
As Theresa May observes, in the play, bread is a recurrent symbol. For example, Rose is a breadmaker and at one point, she gives us the recipe for her father's bread that they sell at the H.B.C. (Hudson's Bay of Canada) store. Rose also describes herself as a "perfect loaf of bread" and as having "a tender, golden brown crust which can be crisp, or delicate" (58). What are some of the ways that the various images of bread can be interpreted?
Round Rose, Fat Man, and Little Boy form a "nuclear family" that falls apart. How are notions of family revised in this play? Why are these new understandings of relationality important?
Another theatrical convention that Clement engages with is sound. Towards the end of the play, the characters listen to the sound of Rose's unborn baby's heart beating (109). This is also the sound of radium-painted clocks ticking. What is the significance of radium acting as both a force of life and a force of death in the play?

Mr Deputy Speaker, before Parliament rises for the year, I want to update Members on Operation Sovereign Borders and to reassure the Australian people that we are upholding our pledge to stop illegal boat arrivals.
September marked the second anniversary of Operation Sovereign Borders and this month marks two years since the turnback phase of OSB commencing.
Over 1,200 people drowned and in their attempts to reach our country by boat, many more we feel suffered the same fate. They suffered under five years of Labor's appalling mismanagement of our borders. It is no coincidence that it is now two years since anybody has died in Australian waters. Five years ago we watched in horror as a boat foundered on cliffs off Christmas Island and at least 50 people – that we know of – drowned despite the heroism of our frontline border staff and many others who were present on that day.
Australian Border and Defence Force personnel spent five years under Labor pulling people from the sea rather than protecting our maritime borders. We intend never to allow those days – where such tragedies become common-place – to return.
Since commencing turnbacks, more than 20 boats carrying over 650 passengers paying people smugglers to reach Australia illegally have been returned to their country of departure.
The most important point to understand is that if the 20 boats got through, people smugglers would have marketed that as being back in business and 200 or 2,000 boats would have followed.
OSB is a tough policy – the toughest on people smugglers – but it is saving lives.
With the boats stopped, we are now addressing the legacy we inherited from Labor: 30,000 people who have arrived illegally by boat over the previous five years.
Labor opened 17 additional detention centres; we have closed 13. Around 9,000 people who arrived illegally by boat were in detention when OSB commenced; we've reduced this to just 900.
This Government has finalised 1,732 asylum claims, 80 per cent of which have been rejected, showing that most who paid people smugglers to come by boat were not refugees.
And most importantly, we have reduced the number of children in detention. More than 8,600 children were detained during Labor's two terms; peaking at nearly 2,000 in July of 2013. We have reduced that number to fewer than one hundred today.
But much remains to be done to clear Labor's backlog; tens of thousands in the legacy caseload have yet to be processed. Those who are found to be owed protection will be issued temporary protection or safe haven enterprise visas.
Some of those visa holders will follow a rigorous path to remain in Australia, under the mechanisms we legislated last December and in March this year. Many will eventually have to return to their origin countries, or resettle elsewhere.
OSB's success has rebuilt public confidence in the integrity of our borders and is restoring faith in Australia's migration policy. According to the highly respected Scanlon Foundation, public support for migration is at its highest level since 2007.
Our success in tackling people smuggling has also eased the pressure on Australia's Humanitarian Programme, which means we can focus on people waiting in trying conditions overseas.
This was our compact with the Australian people: we would help those who don't seek advantage by paying people smugglers to reach our country by boat.
The clearest dividend of OSB's success is the Government's generosity in addressing the humanitarian crisis in Syria and Iraq – by resettling 12,000 additional refugees here. These places are for the most vulnerable people – persecuted women, children, and families with the least prospect of ever returning to their homes.
Having just visited Jordan and Lebanon, I understand first hand this desire to move, but we cannot succumb to the misguided altruism that led to the collapse of our borders – and to 50,000 people arriving here illegally by boat.
boat passage. So, countering people smugglers' lies and misinformation, demands constant vigilance.
But we continue to stare down our adversaries: no successful people smuggling ventures in more than a year-and-a-half vindicates our policy settings.
The situation in Europe shows exactly what can happen when border controls break down – hundreds of thousands of people flowing across land and sea borders. Some are genuine refugees, others are using the disorder and chaos to self-select a new country of choice. This uncontrolled movement weakens Europe's will and capacity to support lawful migration. The shocking terrorist attacks in Paris are the extreme consequence of this loss of control.
Australia is not immune from the terrorist threat crossing borders, however; indeed, this is as real here as it is in many countries in Europe and around the world.
The number of Australians attempting to join extremist groups has increased in recent years; more will inevitably try to join. Sympathisers and supporters of extremists here are growing in number and determination.
More than 145 Australian passports have been cancelled to prevent travel prejudicial to national security. Over 400 people are the subject of counter terrorism investigations – a doubling in the caseload since early last year – and 26 people have been charged since the National Terrorism Public Alert was raised to High in September last year.
The Government's response to terror has been comprehensive and multi-faceted.
We have legislated in five tranches to reduce the space available to terrorists to recruit or travel. This includes the Allegiance Bill which passed the Lower House yesterday.
Funding for counter terrorism and national security has been restored to levels commensurate to the threat after Labor's neglect – an additional $1.3 billion – and programmes to counter violent extremism in partnership with communities are being rolled out to strengthen resilience in our multicultural society.
Mr Deputy Speaker, in terms of my portfolio, the stand-up of the Australian Border Force shows the Government's absolute resolve to protect our borders. This has resulted in the counter terrorism units – offloading 199 passengers on national security grounds – having built on the success of Operation Sovereign Borders.
Our investment in SmartGates – almost $90million – has extended biometric technology to departure as well as arrival points. Extension of advance passenger processing further pushes out the Australian border to scrutinise inbound passengers.

More than 2.9 billion passengers have travelled across China by high-speed train since April 2007 and in 2013, China's high-speed rail network recorded 214 billion passenger kilometres – more than the rest of the world put together.
High-speed rail: Helping to the shape the railways of tomorrow in Britain
In January 2006, when Greengauge 21 was launched, the Channel Tunnel Rail Link (HS1) in the UK was incomplete, and there was no expectation that it would be followed by further high-speed lines. For European Railway Review, Jim Steer – Director of Greengauge 21 – the not-for-profit organisation established to Read more…
Rebalancing Britain
A modern, integrated and high speed rail network is vital to Britain's future prosperity. Improving the rail services linking Manchester, Leeds, Sheffield and Liverpool, connecting their businesses and markets, is also crucial to rejuvenate the north of England and rebalance the economy.
Industry warns of stifled Britain without HS2
A new report, published today, details the costly impact to Britain if High Speed 2 is derailed. 'Great Britain: connected or not?', which was developed by the HSR Industry Leaders Group, outlines how failing to build HS2 will leave a clogged Britain, unable to meet its full potential.
Is High Speed Rail flood-proof?
The devastating effects of the recent storms on the UK transport system, and especially on our rail networks, has been well documented. It has left numerous towns without power, thousands of people without access to transport, and the Devon railway quite literally suspended in mid-air.
Industry leaders unite to support High Speed Rail
Britain is on the cusp of a new dawn for our transport infrastructure. From Crossrail to HS2, we are transforming our transport landscape for the better, creating a lasting legacy for future generations and putting Britain at the forefront of rail engineering and innovation once again.

EFL tightens rules to explicitly ban spying on rivals after Leeds controversy
June 7, 2019 by Football Paradise Staff Reporter
English Football League clubs have responded to this season's Leeds United 'spygate' controversy by tightening the rules to ban clubs from trying to observe their next opponent's training sessions 72 hours before a game.
Leeds were fined £200,000 and warned about their future conduct in February, a month after a member of manager Marcelo Bielsa's staff was caught filming a Derby County training session.
At the time, Leeds were found to have breached EFL regulation 3.4, which states clubs must act with the "upmost good faith" towards each other, but as spying was not explicitly mentioned they avoided a points penalty.
The EFL has today made a further commitment to improving equality in first-team football by introducing a recruitment code into Regulations in order to help address the under-representation of Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic (BAME) managers.

— EFL (@EFL) June 7, 2019
Some in the game believed they had got away lightly, so the matter was raised again at the EFL's annual general meeting in Portugal this week and the regulation has been tweaked.
It now reads: "Without prejudice to the requirements of regulation 3.4 (that each Club shall behave towards each other Club with the upmost good faith), no club shall directly or indirectly observe (or attempt to observe) another club's training session in the period of 72 hours prior to any match scheduled to be played between those respective clubs."
Bielsa's response to being caught was arguably more shocking than the initial misdemeanour, as he immediately admitted to doing it all season and even invited the media in to see just how much scouting and analysis he does before each game.
Ex-Charlton, Derby, Huddersfield and Southend boss Chris Powell has recently denied clubs are too quick to sack black managers, it just seems that way because there are so few to start with (John Walton/PA)
This provoked a wide debate on the difference between the letter of the law and its spirit, with some praising Bielsa for his honesty and thoroughness, while others were outraged by what they considered to be cheating.
Leeds were pushing for the title in February but ultimately slipped back to third place and then lost to Derby in the semi-finals of the play-offs. Derby, however, then lost to Aston Villa in the play-off final.
There were two other major announcements from the 72 clubs' get-together in Vilamoura, as the EFL's voluntary commitment to interview at least one black, Asian or minority ethnic candidate for managerial openings has now entered the rule book, and acting chair Debbie Jevans has been appointed executive chair.
Jevans, London 2012's director of sport and chief executive of the 2015 Rugby World Cup, has been the EFL's interim chair since September, when Ian Lenagan stood down.
The EFL Board has appointed Debbie Jevans CBE to the role of Executive Chair of the English Football League.
Details: https://t.co/XCZrdp2x4a#EFL pic.twitter.com/X42pS55j4h
She has since made it known that she does not wish to hold the role for long but with the EFL now also looking for a new chief executive to replace the departed Shaun Harvey, the 59-year-old former tennis pro has agreed to take on even more responsibility until the two posts can be filled on a full-time basis.
In a statement, the EFL said: "This recruitment process for the CEO is under way and strong interest has been received in the position from both inside and outside football, with the timeline currently on track to have the successful candidate in post early in season 2019/20."
On the initiative to improve diversity in league dug-outs, it said the 18-month trial period "has now been formalised with the introduction of a new regulation ensuring that the principle of providing more opportunities to BAME candidates is mandatory when clubs consider multiple applicants for a role".
There are currently only four BAME managers in England's top four divisions, a marked contrast with the situation on the pitch, where almost a third of the players are from an ethnic minority.

The Goan fiddler	June 2009
By Augusto Pinto
To honour and remember one of India's greatest poets, we must first keep his works in print.
There is no statue anywhere to mark the life of Joseph Furtado. That is a pity, for his patrician looks and his long flowing beard would have made a fine figure in stone. The house where he spent his childhood, in the north Goan town of Pilerne, is today in ruins. Only a handful of the oldest residents remember him, and hardly anyone knows that Furtado, who passed away in 1947 at the age of 75, was one of the finest Indian English poets of his time. Fortunately, many of his poems still survive – barely – in just one slim volume in the rare-books section of Goa's Central Library.
It is curious that a boy from a literary backwater became a proficient poet, and writing in English at that. According to Philip Furtado, the poet's son, his father's early education after passing the primeiro grau – the Portuguese primary-school exam – and apart from a year at a Latin school in Saligao in north Goa, was conducted mainly at home. Perhaps this was a good thing, for Furtado was known to be a sensitive child, and the aesthetic tastes he was to develop could well have been crushed by the drudgery of a mechanical schooling. Konkani was his mother tongue, but Furtado also wrote in Portuguese, later switching to a third language after enrolling in an English-medium school.
In 1890, he found work with the Great Indian Peninsular Railway in Jubbulpore (as it was then spelled) in modern-day Madhya Pradesh. From there, he went on to become a draughtsman in the engineer's office, a fairly important position. It was during this period that he began to read the classics of world literature, and subsequently began writing. Furtado published his first collection of poems in 1910. By 1927, when A Goan Fiddler was published in England, he already had four volumes of poetry to his credit. A Goan Fiddler had a preface by Edmund Gosse, then the most influential critic in England, and the book received warm reviews. Furtado subsequently published The Desterrado (1929), Songs of Exile (1938) and Selected Poems (1939), as well as a historical novel entitled Golden Goa! (1938). For a man writing in a third language, Furtado had a remarkable ear for the sounds of English. Take, for instance, "At Break of Day":
At break of day
In pleasant spring
When on each spray
The blithe birds sing
While half awake
In bed you lie
And one kiss take
Of her close by …
A master of rhyme, rhythm and meter, Furtado was capable of transcribing the sounds emanating from his Indian environment into verse. In "The Brahmin Girl", for instance, he observes:
Mohini sweet, Mohini neat
So maddening to behold
With kinning chinning round her feet
And fas fis of the fold. [emphasis added]
Keki N Daruwalla, in his introduction to the influential anthology of Indian English poetry Ten Twentieth Century Indian Poets, points out that Furtado was the first to see the potential of using Indian English in poetry. When using a pidgin or a patois, there is always the risk that the poet could end up sounding like an English-educated snob, sniggering at those struggling to use an alien language. Even Nissim Ezekiel, the doyen of Indian English poets, fell into this trap in his well-known "Goodbye Party to Miss Pushpa T.S.", or in the following lines from his "The Professor":
If you are coming again this side by chance
Visit please my humble residence also
I am living just on opposite house's backside.
Furtado, however, avoids sounding condescending thanks to his ability to get under the skin of his dramatis personae, often using a technique called the 'dramatic monologue'. For example, in "The Old Irani", the speaker is ranting at his milk vendor, who has been watering down the milk:
Sly rogue, the old Irani
Has made a lakh they say
A lakh in land and money
By mixing milk and pani
What if she bolt away
The young Madame Irani
With all the fellow's money
Beware now Abdul Gani
Beware of Kala Pani
And meddle not with money
Poet of exile
Like many a Goan, Furtado had to seek his fortune far from the land of his birth, with his railways job taking him on to Nagpur, Calcutta and Bombay among other places. But Mother Goa was always close to his heart, motivating professor Lucio Rodrigues to call him the 'poet of exile'. Gosse, in his introduction to A Goan Fiddler, wrote, "I do not know where else to look for an expression of the landscape, the habits and the sentiments of that little known country Portuguese India."
Certainly the poet writes of the sights, sounds and smells of his childhood with love. Figures such as Pedro the cowherd, Ruzai the tailor and Vishnulal the goldsmith come alive in his verses. But these sketches do not seem parochial or sentimental, due to the poet's ability to see the essence of humanness in his subjects. Furtado's verses also shed critical light on the society of his times. The irony of "The Presentation" gives the lie to the much-romanticised institution of the faithful family retainer as he ages. The poem depicts a mother depositing her young son with a landlady, where he is destined to remain a servant. Her pleas to the bhatkarni, to be considerate to her son, tell of how the landowners held sway over the lives of the lower classes during Portuguese times.
There's the child, dear Mother, near
He comes not, lest Thou chide him,
He loves Thee all the same.
And gladly left off play
And came here all the way;
Poor boy, and none to guide him
None to shelter, but do Thee
A little corner give him
A child with gentle ways,
He will not trouble Thee
And naught will trouble me
Dear Mother, when I leave him.
Many of Furtado's poems also have an autobiographical ring about them. During the 1920s, he came back to Goa to settle down, but became embroiled in a dispute over a village creek, where he championed the cause of the villagers of Pilerne. This made him the target of a brutal assault by some influential individuals. During the course of the attack, none of the neighbours came to his aid and, in disgust, Furtado left his village for good. This perhaps accounts for the undercurrent of bitterness in The Desterrado and Songs of Exile. In the poem "Birds and Neighbours", he writes in an epigrammatic style that would have made Robert Frost proud:
When I was young and went all day Bird-nesting, oft would neighbours say
"Those birds will be his ruin"
'Tis not with age my hair is grey
And well might birds now turn and say
"'Tis all his neighbours' doin'."
The poet had a sharp eye for recording the ways of the world in an apparently naïve manner. "First Love" is one example of this, taking as it does a quiet but sarcastic swipe at the snobbery of society as it depicts a man who wants to see, once again, a girl with whom he was infatuated when he was young. But he had no plans to marry her, for he now realises she is lower down the social ladder than himself:
I could not but desire
To see for once the maid who could
A love so deep inspire
Not that I wished to wed her now
Such changes time had wrought
In me I durst not link my name
To one with such a blot
Since well I knew unheralded were
The riches of her house,
Her mother's sister had besides
Profaned her marriage vows.
Furtado was especially critical, although often in a sly or humorous way, of patriarchal norms and the restrictions that different communities placed on women. This is particularly clear in such work as "The Brahmin Girl", "The Mullah's Daughter" and "The Pariah Girl". Similarly, "Kismet" tells the story of a prostitute resigned to her fate, while "The Neglected Wife" explores the frustrations of a young wife left at home by a husband seeking employment far way – a Goan phenomenon prevalent to this day.
While his social concerns are apparent in his poetry, rarely is Furtado preachy. It is in his only novel, Golden Goa, that his social vision and political views became quite overt. The plot revolves around a love affair between a Christian and a Hindu during the decadent Portuguese rule of the 16th century. The story contrasts the good works of the Jesuit missionary and later saint Francis Xavier on the one hand, with the horrors of the Inquisition on the other. Here, Furtado takes a series of potshots against the foreign rulers. At one point, quoting the British civil servant Robert Sewell, he writes, "The Europeans seemed to think they had a divine right to the pillage, robbery and massacre of the natives of India. Not to mince matters their whole record is one of a series of atrocities." He continues: "If humanity be a proof of civilisation Indians at that time were more civilized than the Portuguese."
It would be a pity if the memory of this distinguished Goan literary artist were to disappear without a trace. As alluded to earlier, one way of honouring Joseph Furtado today could certainly be to erect a statue of him. But the poet himself would surely have appreciated it more if a fresh collection of his best works were published and made available to the public.

Corvette Racing Leads GTE Pro at Le Mans at Six Hours
Jun 16 2012 admin News Comments Off on Corvette Racing Leads GTE Pro at Le Mans at Six Hours
Opening Segment Features Fierce Fight Between Corvette, Aston Martin, and Ferrari
LE MANS, France – Corvette Racing led the GTE Pro class at the six-hour mark in the 24 Hours of Le Mans. The No. 74 Compuware Corvette C6.R driven by Oliver Gavin, Tommy Milner, and Richard Westbrook was in the middle of a three-way battle, trading the lead repeatedly with the No. 97 Aston Martin and the No. 51 Ferrari. The No. 73 Compuware Corvette of Jan Magnussen, Antonio Garcia, and Jordan Taylor fell back initially, and then rebounded to run fourth as the first quarter of the race ended.
Despite predictions of rain, the only precipitation was a light sprinkle at the start. The racing was interrupted at the five-hour mark by an extended safety car period following a huge crash involving the No. 8 Toyota and No. 81 Ferrari at the Mulsanne corner. The field continued to circulate behind three safety cars at the six-hour mark while the damaged cars were removed and the tire wall repaired.
Starting third on the GTE grid, Gavin quickly moved to challenge the class-leading Aston Martin on the first lap. He took the lead shortly after the first hour, and then traded places with his rival throughout his second stint. Tommy Milner took over at 1:49 mark and the battle resumed – with the addition of the No. 51 Ferrari that had started at the rear of the field after missing qualifying due to an accident. Milner also did a double stint, handing off to Richard Westbrook at the 3:43 into the race.
Jan Magnussen started the No. 73 Corvette C6.R fifth on the GTE grid, but handling problems caused him to drop back to seventh. Antonio Garcia went in on the first pit stop, and an adjustment changed the character of the car as the Spaniard moved up to fifth. Jordan Taylor began his first stint as a Le Mans racer at 2:44 into the race, followed by Magnussen at 3:34.
Jan Magnussen, No. 73 Compuware Corvette C6.R: "I had some serious understeer throughout my first stint coming out of the corners. Since we had some other issues in practice and qualifying we're maybe a bit behind in the development of the best race setup. They've now adjusted the rear of the car a bit to see if that can cure the problem for Antonio. Personally I don't feel too well as I woke up with a cold and some fever. I can more or less drive around it as the adrenaline sort of takes over as soon as you're in the car, but I don't feel good enough yet to do double stints."
Antonio Garcia, No. 73 Compuware Corvette C6.R: "That was quite all right, I think. I knew from Jan's feedback that I would have to work the car a bit harder than usual. I had some understeer which I tried to compensate for, but maybe I tried a bit too hard because the lap times were quite good. We then adjusted the pressure in the rear tires for my second stint on the same set, and that brought the car back into the comfort zone."
Jordan Taylor, No. 73 Compuware Corvette C6.R: "I had a good stint, feeling more and more comfortable each lap. A slow puncture in the right-front tire messed with my head a bit, giving me understeer in the left-hand corners and snap oversteer in the right-hand corners. Other than that, no real issues, apart from two guys who held me up through Porsche Curves."
Oliver Gavin, No. 74 Compuware Corvette C6.R: "As usual it was a bit chaotic at the start. I was side-by-side with the Aston Martin coming out of the last corner. The 59 Ferrari was a bit tentative, and the Aston Martin was just gone on the straight. I knew I had to get past the Ferrari before his tires came up to temperature. I followed the Aston for the next 11 laps or so; my Corvette was very good on the brakes and in low-speed parts, but he was fast on the straight and the high-speed sections. On the second stint he was having a problem getting his tires up to temperature and I got inside of him going into the second chicane, but then I started sliding around and he went back by me. The sun had come out and the track temp was going up, our tires were coming in, and the circuit was rubbering up, so I think we'll be pretty good as the race continues."
Tommy Milner, No. 74 Compuware Corvette C6.R: "It was a lot of fun out there! You could see that Darren and I were being very polite to each other, which is how it should be at this stage of the race. It's more entertaining when you're racing someone close, either chasing or being chased. Our Corvette felt really good, quite consistent, even though the track was a little greasy. As the temperature cooled off the car felt better. The Aston Martin was very quick on the straights but I could see that their setup is not quiteright. The Ferrari was quite a way behind, so for them to get back to the front shows they are quick as well."

Behind the ScenesMaking a habitat a home
Chester and Rico, our new cheetahs, have moved into their home and have been eagerly checking out the space and all it has to offer. But what had to happen before they could move in? More than you probably think!
Since cheetahs can jump more than seven times their body length (up to 20 feet), a few modifications had to be made to the fence. From the pathway, you can't tell, but the ground drops about eight feet and the moat is approximately 15 feet wide. It was drained, cleaned and refilled with nine feet of water.
The exhibit had to be cleared of any debris and a lot of vegetation was removed. New deadfall – or trees – were placed in exhibit for the cheetahs to sit, scratch and perch on. For this exhibit, we used cedar trees that were downed in another area of the Zoo. They were placed using a crane.
Most recently, this exhibit featured storks and cranes. However, it was originally built as a primate house so the holding facilities also needed to be modified. Two tables were built by Zoo staff to serve as steps onto the platforms that the mandrills used to sit on. The feeding chutes were adapted for easy use by the cheetahs.
"I've been involved in a lot of the construction of new spaces or exhibits, so it was really cool to have the chance to modify an existing exhibit that was originally built for something else," said Keith Krause, Operations Manager at the Virginia Zoo. "It's really interesting to learn about the adaptations necessary for each animal."

The bill got President Ram Nath Kovind's nod on Saturday.


I'll start with asking a few questions to assess where you stand, in scope of this article.
Have you resolved to start a new diet in the new year, but failed to follow through with the decision?
Have you dieted to the tune of no results?
Have you lost weight on a diet only to have it all come back, plus some?
Have you done every new weight loss challenge or program under the sun, with successes, and now find it hard to lose any weight at all?
If you answered NO to any or all of these questions, stop reading and move on to the next Title that interests you. BUT, if you answered YES to any of these questions, or any combination of several or all of these questions, then this blog is for YOU!
I get it. I've had plenty of blunders in my nutrition. I haven't always stuck to my guns and I haven't always had success in regards to what I ate and how it effected my body. As an example, I was predicted to be about 6'1" by my growth charts as a child and had several ancestors to show that it was in my genetic makeup to be that height. However, due to poor diet and sleep habits from the time of my adolescence until I was about 14 years of age, I wound up being just a smidgen under 5'10". This very likely played a role in my lack of early athletic development and kept me from reaching my genetic potential when I finally decided to start eating what my body craved for growth and development the results were astonishing. I had always been "the runt" of my class. However, from my freshmen year of high school to my senior year, I gained 50lbs of mass, most of which was muscle. I don't say this in a bragging manner, as I certainly can't take full credit for my successes. I say it to encourage you in your journey. You see, I could've been dismayed about my lack of progress and growth, but I decided to make the best of my situation and give it everything I had to succeed at my dreams. And, I did.
Your story is all too familiar to me. You wake up each and every day with a new determination to achieve your goals. As the day wears on, hundreds of messages tell you, "this is how you find success", and "that is the way to go if you want to lose weight", "blah, blah, blah". The white noise is deafening. You try to sort through all the dietary information that the market involuntarily shoves down your throat. So you try "this" for a few day or weeks, with no avail, then you try "that" and "the other" for a month and that was an empty promise as well! Frustration sits in and you wonder if your health is even worth pursuing. You start to reason with yourself, "I just can't", or "that doesn't work for me". I've been there. Your neighbor has been there. We've all experienced this, "is this really worth the effort I put in?".
I can insure you, emphatically, YOU are worth the effort you put in. You're a human and as such are beautiful and deserve to be rewarded for your hard work. After all, it's not your fault the market is flooding you with misleading and even false information on diet and exercise. If you had but a few guiding principles to live by in order to obtain the success that is long overdue you, you would have succeeded upon your first attempt. You know why? Because you're a go get 'er. You don't lay down and let a challenge defeat you. Instead, you rise to the occasion and take on the task that many others aren't willing to accept. You set the example to your children and grandchildren, as the standard for future generations to uphold. It's daunting at times but you persist, and for that I applaud you! The fabric of our nation was built by people just like you. That is why you WILL succeed.
Suppose you had the guiding principles I mentioned above, at your disposal. Wouldn't you utilize them to ensure your success?
What if you even had someone guiding you through the process; a coach of sorts? Would you leap at the opportunity to be mentored by someone who has done, successfully, just what you're trying to achieve?
Well, if you're ready, I have a challenge for you. What do you say to seeking out that professional help, today? If you're up to changing your life and finally proving to yourself and all others that you can and WILL have success with your diet, then it would be my pleasure to guide you on your journey to the best you to date.
