Who isn't asking anyone to send me back
From where I was born to where I wish to have been born.
Italia, my Africa, I study your painters and your language,
Content to save my cents for the pensione vacation
After the glimpse of the Giottos
To return home, with no regrets.
– From A Painter's Philosophy, Gloria Escoffery, c1973
The painter, art critic, poet and journalist Gloria Escoffery was born on December 22, 1923 in Gayle, St Mary. It was during her formative years at St Hilda's High School that she met Rhoda Jackson, who at that time taught art at the school and introduced her to the subject. Rhoda Jackson was a painter and designer who worked mainly for the tourist industry, among others producing murals for the Tower Isle Hotel, but she was a pioneering and influential female Jamaican artist whose contributions deserve more attention than they have thus far received – she will be the subject of an upcoming blog post.
Gloria Escoffery was further educated at the McGill University in Canada, the University of the West Indies, Mona Campus and the Slade School of Fine Arts in London. After London, she spent a year in Barbados teaching, then returned home to continue her teaching career at Knox College. She subsequently moved on to teach English and English Literature at Brown's Town Community College in Brown's Town, St. Ann. In fact, she made her home in the community of Brown's Town, continuing to live and work there until the end of her life. She was a regular writer and journalist, and contributed to Jamaica Journal as well as the Gleaner newspaper. She is considered as one of Jamaica's most insightful, and idiosyncratic, art critics, who brought a highly personal but well-read perspective to her writings. She also wrote poetry and published an anthology, Loggerhead, in 1988.

Escoffery began exhibiting as a fine artist around the mid-1940s alongside other important artists of her generation such as Ralph Campbell, Albert Huie and Carl Abrahams, maintaining an active presence on the Jamaican art scene until shortly before her death. Her early work consisted of landscapes and genre paintings, many of which were inspired by themes of community life in Brown's Town, for example as depicted in the Old Woman (1955). From the 1960s onwards, she also produced paintings that have been described as 'surrealist'. This is interesting, since the early nineteenth century movement of Surrealism was primarily a literary one in which writers sought creative and artistic freedom in their works via explorations of the sub-conscious mind. In fact it was her involvement in literature and art history that fueled her conceptual development as an artist. In describing her relationship with writing and painting, she stated:
… in order to do that, I'd better borrow T.S. Elliot's ideas about the composition of a poem…One starts with certain strong 'floating feelings' which are then expressed by sifting the images to which they spontaneously attach themselves…although craft and media are different, I myself…start from the same basic feeling and the images, the visual ones, are the same too.
The scene depicted in the triptych Gateway (1965) qualifies as genre, in terms of the activities of the characters depicted. However, the otherworldly glow of the yellow sky adds an element of surrealism or rather magic realism to the entire scene. Many of her later works were abstracted, such as the epic, five-panel paintings like Mirage (1987), with its rippling layered patterns and floating abstract shapes, imply a conscious attempt at constructing visual context as an almost dream-like scenario in which fragments of thoughts can be ordered and identified. The concept of the 'dream' is further illustrated and narrated through iconography historically attached to Judaic social and religious history, which was part of Escoffery's heritage.

Gloria Escoffery has received many accolades for her contribution to the development of fine arts in Jamaica. She was made Officer of the Order of Distinction in 1977 for services in the field of Art by the Jamaican Government and later in 1985, she received the Silver Musgrave from the Institute of Jamaica. She was also inducted into the Caribbean Hall of Fame in 2001. Escoffery passed away at her home in Brown's Town in 2002.

The article is based on the premise that childhood obesity is a serious issue that has often been portrayed as insurmountable. The author is of the opinion that there needs to be a more positive campaign on healthy options of alleviating and avoiding childhood obesity instead of preaching about the negative effects of obesity. The author reports that there is need to, "...change the national conversation about obesity and illness from a negative one to a positive one about being fit and healthy" (Saxe 2011 p.548). According to the author this can be done through advocacy by physicians, whose medical opinion is respected within the community. In the article it is stipulated that it is important not only to educate the public on ways of combating childhood obesity, but it is more important to change the environment so as to help to prevent and reduce obesity and overweight among children. The author explains that it is important to curb childhood obesity so as to increase the life expectancy of the current generation of American children. The article postulates that steps need to be taken at the federal, state, local and institutional levels in order to decrease childhood obesity. The author stipulates that it is important for children to engage in more physical activity within their environment and eat healthier foods, in order to avert obesity.
The article articulates what physicians can do to decrease childhood obesity within their communities. The author provides statistics to show the number of children affected by obesity in America in order to show the severity of the issue. The author does not conduct her own research but relies on data from other authors and institutions, to present her points. The article, for instance, relies on data from a report prepared by The White House Task Force on Childhood Obesity, where the author extracts some of her recommendations. The information provided supports the need for physicians to advocate for healthy options of food and also a safe environment where children can engage in physical activity. The author is however of the idea that inasmuch as educating the public on health matters is important, it does not contribute as much as changing the children's environment. This means that children have to be surrounded with healthy options of food, and they have to be provided with the right environment to engage in physical activity among other things. This opinion is supported by the director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The article is well written and presents the ideas in a concise and clear manner. The author could have conducted her own study but she articulates very well the various perspectives from the different authors. The article also presents a unique perspective of a very relevant issue which has been labeled a crisis by many physicians as well as the general public (Puhl and Latner 2007). This makes the article interesting and pertinent to the reader.

Just and Equitable Winding Up: KFC or Chicken Farmer?
I am resurrecting this post after some editing.Under the Companies Act, one of the grounds which the Court may wind up a company is on the "just and equitable" ground. This is very different from the usual winding up proceedings based on a company's inability to pay its debts.
One of the common examples for the imposition of these just and equitable principles is that the law takes into recognition some form of personal or quasi-partnership relationship between the shareholders. An example may be a family business, where the initial patriachal sole proprietorship has become a sprawling family empire controlled by the sons. A falling out between the shareholder-brothers may then jeopardise the relationship of mutual trust and confidence and may justify the winding up of the company.
The leading case on just and equitable winding up is that of the House of Lords decision in Ebrahimi v Westbourne Galleries Ltd and others [1973] AC 360. The principles enunciated in Ebrahimi are applicable within Malaysia, as held by the Privy Council in Tay Bok Choon v Tahansan Sdn Bhd [1987] 1 WLR 413. The Singapore Court of Appeal decision in Chow Kwok Chuen v Chow Kwok Chi and Another [2008] SGCA 37 is also an interesting case analysing the just and equitable winding up provisions.
In a particular clear cut matter, where I argued that the just and equitable principles did not apply, I simplified (whether rightly or wrongly) the principles as such:
"Imagine if you had a company, let's call it KFC Pte Ltd…"
Imagine a company, let's call it KFC Pte Ltd, and it happened that soon after its formation, it started to be very successful in making and selling fried chicken. Over the decades, you have different shareholders entering and exiting the company. As KFC's chicken business got larger, other companies started to become shareholders as well. However with the drastic onset of bird flu, KFC's board of directors makes a decision to diversify its business. KFC would no longer solely focus on fried chicken, it would start making and selling fish burgers as well.
The decision to diversify the company's business was a purely commercial decision, and just like KFC, the company is a commercial entity, which was free to pursue other lines of business. There was no case for a failure of the substratum of company based on some form of mutual understanding.
In contrast to KFC, another scenario may perhaps justify the imposition of just and equitable considerations:
Two best friends meet and decide to form a private limited company. One has a factory to produce fried chicken, and the other friend has a large chicken farm. They decide to form this company for the sole purpose of producing and selling fried chicken. If the friend with the factory suddenly wants to start making fish burgers, then perhaps, the friend with the farm can say that look, we had this common understanding between us that the company was formed to produce fried chicken, there has now been a failure of the substratum of that company. It could then be argued that it might be just and equitable to wind up the company so that the two friends could go their separate ways.
"…whether the company was more KFC, or more of that of the chicken farmer."
So the case may sometimes boil down to whether the company is more KFC, or more chicken farmer. Unfortunately, a case will unlikely be so clear cut to differentiate between these two scenarios and the Court will need to hear evidence, whether through affidavit or through witnesses, in order to assess whether a just and equitable winding up should be allowed.

New car seats made without toxic flame-retardant chemicals
Car seats are supposed to keep our youngest children safe. But though they may protect infants and toddlers during accidents, car seats have a history of containing toxic flame-retardant chemicals.
That's finally changing.
Today, a coalition of groups including U.S. PIRG Education Fund and the Ecology Center's "Healthy Stuff" program released test results on car seats in a new report, Hidden Hazards:Flame Retardants and PFAS in Children's Car Seats. The authors collaborated with researchers from Indiana University and the University of Notre Dame.

Chain Reaction report urges burger restaurants to beef up policies to eliminate routine use of antibiotics
Two growing burger chains, Shake Shack and BurgerFi, stand out from the herd when it comes to serving beef raised without the routine use of antibiotics in the burger industry. They were the only restaurants to earn an "A" on the fourth annual Chain Reaction scorecard released today by six major consumer and environmental organizations. The vast majority of hamburger chains — 22 of the top 25, including giants such as McDonald's — got an "F" grade because they lack established policies restricting antibiotic use in their beef supply chains.

Without A Prayer: Judge Nixes School's Graduation Tradition
Friday, 18 May 2001 12:00 AM
And so, when Washington Community High School hosts graduation Sunday, superintendent Lee Edwards will have to explain how a 24-hour legal lightning bolt struck this Peoria, Ill., suburb, ending the school's 80-year tradition of offering invocation and benediction prayers at graduation.
On Thursday, a federal judge granted a temporary restraining order prohibiting Washington High's student-led prayers.
The decision came just a day after senior valedictorian Natasha Appenheimer - backed by the American Civil Liberties Union - filed suit in U.S. District Court, claiming the prayers were unconstitutional. The judge agreed.
"I am a Christian and a believer," Chief U.S. District Judge Joe B. McDade said before announcing his decision, "but in this country, a nonbeliever has more rights than a believer."
But in this Christian community where prayer has accompanied every commencement since 1921, residents can't understand the ruling.
"We're not happy with the verdict, and we don't agree with it," Edwards said. "Naturally, there's a lot of upset people at this point."
After all, school officials say, this case is unique because students chose to include the prayers - not administrators.
In fact, a group of student government leaders drew up the graduation program, and senior Sarah Claus volunteered to give the prayers, which were written and submitted to an English teacher for minor grammatical editing.
But the ACLU argues it doesn't matter whether students or administrators offer the prayers - the fact that they're offered at a school function is enough to violate the Constitution.
"Student-initiated prayer doesn't work because all the school board is doing is scraping on to the students what it can't do itself," ACLU staff attorney Pamela Sumners said.
"The superintendent can't get on the loud speaker and pray, and neither can a student get on a school-run loudspeaker and pray."
For some, the legal swiftness in overturning tradition may have been more disturbing than the ruling's severity.
Appenheimer and the ACLU first confronted school officials about the legality of the prayers at Monday's school board meeting. After hearing their complaints, the board voted to stick to tradition and some students' request to replace the prayers with a moment of silence.
On Wednesday night, Edwards learned of the lawsuit. Thursday morning, he was subpoenaed. By that afternoon, the prayers were history.
Now Edwards will have to explain to the commencement crowd why the 2,000 printed programs - which list the prayers - are wrong.
"The thing I think has been most disconcerting about this issue is the timing," Edwards said.
After graduation, school officials plan to review the judge's forthcoming written statement, and both sides will meet in court later as the ACLU seeks a permanent injunction against any further graduation prayers.
"We don't think we're doing anything wrong," Edwards said. "If we thought as a school board, as a district, that this was illegal, we would discontinue this practice."
And so, when Washington Community High School hosts graduation Sunday, superintendent Lee Edwards will have to explain how a 24-hour legal lightning bolt struck this Peoria, Ill., suburb, ending the school's 80-year tradition of offering invocation and benediction prayers...

U.S., France, Britain urge new U.N. sanctions on North Korea
By Michelle Nichols
UNITED NATIONS (Reuters) - The United States, Britain and France pushed the United Nations Security Council on Friday to impose new sanctions on North Korea over its fifth and biggest nuclear test as the 15-member council met to discuss condemning the move by Pyongyang.

North Korea conducted the nuclear test on Friday and said it had mastered the ability to mount a warhead on a ballistic missile, ratcheting up a threat that its rivals and the United Nations have been powerless to contain.
"North Korea is seeking to perfect its nuclear weapons and their delivery vehicles so they can hold the region and the world hostage under threat of nuclear strike," U.S. Ambassador Samantha Power told reporters ahead of the council meeting.
"We will take additional significant steps, including new sanctions to demonstrate to North Korea that there are consequences to its unlawful and dangerous actions," Power said.
North Korea has been under U.N. sanctions since 2006. In March, the Security Council tightened sanctions to further isolate the impoverished country after its fourth nuclear test in January and a long-range rocket launch in February.
"Weakness is simply not an option, North Korea will have to bear the consequences of its actions and provocations," French U.N. Ambassador Francois Delattre told reporters. "France calls for the adoption as soon as possible of a new resolution."
Russian U.N. Ambassador Vitaly Churkin told reporters: "I think we should condemn it first of all and then we will see what we can do."
Pyongyang has also carried out a string of ballistic missile tests this year in defiance of U.N. sanctions, which have all been condemned by the Security Council.
In the unanimously adopted March resolution, the council expressed "its determination to take further significant measures in the event of a further DPRK (North Korea) nuclear test or launch."
British U.N. Ambassador Matthew Rycroft said there were a series of steps the Security Council could take to respond to Friday's nuclear test and that Britain would like to see a combination of those steps imposed.
"First of all there must be full implementation of the existing sanctions, secondly there could be additional names added to the existing sanctions regime ... and thirdly there could be a tightening up and a strengthening of the sanctions regime," Rycroft told reporters ahead of the council meeting.
United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon condemned North Korea's nuclear test on Friday as a "brazen breach" of U.N. Security Council resolutions.
"I count on the Security Council to remain united and take appropriate action. We must urgently break this accelerating spiral of escalation," he told reporters.

President of the Senate, Bukola Saraki has berated Security Chiefs over the lack of coordination in the face of killings across the country.
Speaking in Ilorin, the Kwara State capital, the Senate President said while the security architecture in the country has "failed", some of the security officials overseeing security in the country do not talk to one another.
Lamenting the persistent crisis, Saraki said the issue was "not something to be politicised" because it affects all Nigerians.
He said, "If somebody is not capable and cannot do what he has to do, let others have the opportunity to do it.
"We have had situations where security officials have told us there is poor coordination. One, A is not talking to B, B is not talking to A. They don't attend meetings jointly and things need to be done.
Saraki recalled that the National Assembly had called for a security summit where "we had addressed the issue of security architecture" and also resolved to invite the security chiefs.
"You are all very aware that some service chiefs decided in their own wisdom that there is no need for them to work with the national assembly to address these issues.

Pearl Harbor Day: The Nitpickiest IMDb Nitpicks for Tora! Tora! Tora! and Pearl Harbor
Richard Connelly
Richard Connelly | December 7, 2011 | 7:01am
Today is the 70the anniversary of the attack on Pearl Harbor, the Greatest Generation's 9/11.
Since then the Day of Infamy has shown up in many movies, most notably 1970's Tora! Tora! Tora! and 2001's Pearl Harbor. Any such movie subjects itself to the eagle eyes of "rivet-heads," the experts who are always ready to leap up in outrage at any tiny deviation the military equipment in a movie might have from what was used in real life. This also extends to any error of any type.
The Web site IMDb is a leading chronicler of reader-submitted "goofs"; here are five of the nit-pickiest for the two films.
Tora! Tora! Tora! 5. Critiquing the German guns in a Japanese-attack movie The German guns seen for approximately 2.4 seconds of screen time, if we recall correctly.
When the movie moves to Nazi Germany for the Japanese signing of the Tripartite Pact, the SS guard outside the Reichschancellery is shouldering a Mauser with a late war barrel band. As materials and time became scarce in Germany, they had a cheap stamped barrel band instead of the early pressed (H-type) one
4. A state-park historian weighs in
Check out the BBQ grill in one of the scenes. They were not in Hawaii's parks until the 1950s.
3. Thank you for pointing this out
The B-17's used in the movie are F and G models. The B-17s arriving from Hamilton Field, California during the attack were a mix of D and E-models.
2. Can you believe they were six months off?
When the submarine is strafed at the beginning of the attack, a destroyer in the background carries the number 446. This number was assigned to the USS Radford, commissioned in May 1942.
1. The watch industry weighs in, because that's what you're concentrating on when the attack finally begins in Tora! Tora! Tora!
Early in the attack, one deck officer is shown wearing a "Caravelle" wristwatch with the imprint "Waterproof" on the dial face. Bulova's web site indicates that the Caravelle line of watches was introduced in 1962, some 21 years after the attack.
Pearl Harbor 5. The most important thing about hero Doris Miller
Doris Miller is shown as a petty officer second class. Miller was in fact a petty officer third class at the time of the Pearl Harbor attack.
4. Now hear this
While attempting to free drowning sailors one engineer can be seen using a welding torch to cut the hull. The torch's sound is that of an arc welding torch which would have been too bulky and dangerous to use on a capsized vessel.
3. Desecrating the name of the Filmo
When the photographer that is recording the attack with a small handheld video camera (specifically the Bell & Howell Filmo) is shot by the attacking aircraft, you see him being filmed by his own camera after he has been killed. In reality, the Filmo only records when a button on the camera is being held down, if it has been released the filming will stop instantly. There is no way the camera would continue to film him while lying untouched near his body.
2. If you can't trust the typography...
In the scene in the Cryptography office, as Dan Aykroyd mutters about the Japanese flooding the Pacific with radio traffic, the ticker-tape coded messages are printed out in Helvetica, a font not designed until the 1950s.
1. This one ruined the whole movie for me. As did the rest of the movie, actually
The rimless eyeglasses worn by Dan Aykroyd's character, with the lenses held in place by a nylon wire, are a relatively modern invention. Back in WWII, the only rimless eyeglasses that would have been available were what were called "drill-mounts"; holes were drilled into the lenses, and the nose bridge and temples were screwed into the lenses via these drill holes. Nylon wire rimless glasses didn't come into use until many years later.


Nice candy coloured, this rose Pinot Noir has an elegant nose with typical aromas of red fruits.
Light and easy drinking. Enjoy it as an aperitif, with white meat, salads and fishes or simply with friends.
The wine is then matured for a few months on its fine lees until the bottling is carried out at the beginning of the year.


As some of you may have heard, the Global Poker League will have its World Championship Event take place in what organizers are calling The Cube. Alex Dreyfus, the man in charge of the GPL, recently revealed that the 20' x 20' x 20' signature arena will be made out of 11 tons of glass.
The Cube is portable and can be assembled in a wide variety of venues, which Dreyfus anticipates will add to the mystique of the events.

Repucom snapshot : 63% of Poker Fans would watch the GPL World Championships, while 52% consider it extremely / very relevant for Poker ; 30% indicate an interest to buy tickets to attend GPL Live events.
You can find out more details about The Cube here, or watch the interview Dreyfus gave to PokerNews below.
Did anyone really think Phil Hellmuth would spend 5 days coaching World Series of Poker November Niner Federico Butteroni?
Don't worry Federico, if you win you get to buy the Poker Brat an expensive dinner, because he is "rooting" for you, and then you will be worthy of his name dropping.
With his victory in the EPT 12 Malta – €25k High Roller event, Mike "Timex" McDonald moved up to 15th on the All-Time Money List as compiled by TheHendonMob.com.
The €498,575 first place prize brings McDonald's total winnings to $12,478,018 and was enough to push Timex past long-time rival and 2006 World Series of Poker Main Event Champion Jamie Gold.
Gold notoriously commented "That's what you get for calling with Jacks" after sucking out in a big pot at a featured table in the 2007 World Series of Poker Europe Main Event where his pocket Threes were dominated after the flop by McDonald's pocket Jacks.
Timex clearly hasn't forgotten the hand which took place on his 18th birthday.

Is Reckless Driving on the Rise During COVID-19 Pandemic
Sparse traffic on U.S. roads during the coronavirus pandemic has spawned a spike in speeding and other types of reckless driving, according to the Governors Highway Safety Association (GHSA). While the number of cars on the roadway may be less than usual as hundreds of thousands of people are forced to stay home, speeding still remains a serious concern particularly as there are fewer people on the roadway and a greater ability to travel at a faster speed. Speeding has always been a major factor in causing fatal car accidents and serious personal injuries in Long Island, and five boroughs including Queens, Brooklyn, and Bronx. In New York City, automated speed cameras issued 24,765 speeding tickets on March 27 — nearly double the number issued daily a month earlier — despite far fewer cars being on the road. Recently, a driver speeding down the streets of Manhattan during the coronavirus lockdown wrecked a rare $750,000 Porsche after losing control and crashing into several vehicle.
If you or a loved one have been injured due to the negligence, recklessness or carelessness of another driver on the roadway, contact The Licatesi Law Group. Our attorneys are available to answer any questions you may have. Our legal team has decades of experience to help you recover the compensation you deserve and need to pay for your lost wages and medical bills.

Pakistani journalist exiled in Sweden missing: Rights group
Published by Hurriyet on Wed, 04/01/2020 - 09:32
A Pakistani journalist living in exile in Sweden has been missing for nearly a month, stoking fears that his disappearance is tied to his reporting on Balochistan, a press rights group said on March 31.
Sajid Hussain went missing on March 2, according to police.
Originally from Pakistan's Balochistan province, he has been living and working as a part-time lecturer in the Swedish city of Uppsala. But he is also chief editor of the online news outlet, Balochistan Times.
According to RSF, Hussain was last seen boarding a train from Stockholm to Uppsala "with the aim of collecting the keys to his new apartment and leaving some personal effects there".
He has not been in contact with anyone since.
"No one, including his family, has heard anything from him," Erik Halkjaer, president of the Swedish branch of Reporters Without Borders (RSF), told AFP.
Because his articles crossed the line of what Pakistan's military deems acceptable, it could not be ruled out that the Pakistani intelligence services had been involved, said RSF.
The Balochistan Times has reported on human rights abuses as well as some of the active rebel groups in Balochistan.
There have been previous cases where exiled Pakistani journalists residing in Europe have been harassed and threatened over their reporting.
In February, blogger Ahmad Waqass Goraya was attacked and threatened outside his Rotterdam home by two men speaking Urdu.
RSF said that according to confidential information it had obtained, Pakistan's intelligence service, the ISI, keeps a list of exiled reporters.
Hussain is a well-known journalist in Balochistan and his work has largely focused on drug trafficking, forced...
