Mass at Casa Maria Soup Kitchen
I celebrated Mass with workers and people served at the Casa Maria Soup Kitchen on the Labor Day holiday. There were dozens of people present, and Mass was held outside under a long porch of a building.

Welcome to Melissa Butsback who joined our Pastoral Center staff recently as an accountant. Melissa was born in the Chicago area, but came to Tucson with her family as a child. She completed her graduate and undergraduate studies at the University of Arizona.
Beginning Friday, Sept. 7, members of the Sisters of Charity of Seton Hill will be here in Arizona to celebrate the order's 85th Anniversary.
On Friday, Sept. 7, the Sisters and friends of the Sisters of Charity will gather in Scottsdale, Ariz., for the first of the celebrations at Our Lady of Perpetual Help Church.
On Sunday morning, Sept. 9, there will be another gathering at Saints Peter and Paul Parish here in Tucson. I will celebrate this Mass with the group and regular parishioners at the 9 a.m.. A reception will follow where students from Sts. Peter and Paul, St. John the Evangelist Parish and Salpointe Catholic High School will entertain guests. Attendees also can stop by an art exhibit where student art and art created by Sisters of Charity will be displayed
I am told the Sisters of Charity arrived at Sts. Peter and Paul in 1933 to work in the school and have had a continuous presence in the parish for 85 years. The Sisters also have worked in Ajo, Globe, Nogales, Phoenix and San Carlos Reservation. Our own Sister Jeanne Bartolomeaux, S.C., diocesan Vicar for Religious, will certainly be on hand for the events.

Vocations Cross
Here is a sneak peek part of a story about a traveling cross written by Outlook Managing Editor Michael Brown for the October issue of our newspaper. Thought you might enjoy it:
Young men and women considering religious vocations last month were given a special worship aid to help them with their discernment.
A Vocations cross, created by Nogales artists Marisol Garcia and Jose Manuel Cota Escalante, began circulating throughout the Diocese, beginning at St. Margaret Mary in Tucson and Our Lady of Lourdes Catholic High School in Nogales.
Blessed by Bishop Edward J. Weisenburger during the Prayer & Action retreat at Our Mother of Sorrows Parish in Tucson in July, the cross is available for Catholic high schools and parish youth groups of high-school age Catholics.
Father Jorge Farias Saucedo, diocesan Vocations director for recruitment, encouraged parish youth ministers and high school campus ministers to find creative ways to integrate the cross into the prayer lives of their students.
"They have the freedom to be as creative as they like," Father Farias Saucedo said. "We want young people to pray and be open to dialogue about vocations."
He said that he will hear from young people who may think they have a calling to religious life or the priesthood, but may be reluctant to come forward or may not get the affirmation they need to dig deeper into discernment.
"We hope this cross gives them encouragement," he said.
Friday, Sept. 14: On this day Catholics commemorate the cross used in the crucifixion of Jesus.

I must admit, what first attracted me to this site was the vampire theme. I have definitely been hit with this whole vampire craze over the last few years so I definitely had to head to vampire bingo and see what it was all about. When I first joined, I got the £15 free which is pretty standard for most sites, but it did last me a decent amount of time. I always love a good opportunity to get a glimpse of a site's games for absolutely free. The best thing about this site though, has got to be the bingo! They've certainly got a good dose of it at no cost which is always a plus. Every day, in their 80 ball room, they give players the freedom to play for four whole hours for free! You can't beat that. They also have a nice amount of slots to choose from. I switch back and forth mostly between dragon fire and Brittonaire because, in my opinion, they have the best progressive jackpots up for grabs.
I've been afraid to visit this site, but the time has finally come for me to face my fears and see what all the stir is about at Vampire bingo. On first visit to the site, I was still intimidated by the vampire theme. I saw fangs. I was afraid. LOL.
It's all in good fun though, or so it seems to be here at Vampire Bingo. Get £15 free at Vampire Bingo when you sign up for your account. Just fill out a few details so the vampires can locate you...heheh. If you deposit £10, you can play with £35 making that a nice 250% bonus for your deposit.
I noticed they had a facebook fan page, which I usually enjoy very much in an online bingo site. This is where you would come to get extra promotions and particiapte in special games and lots of fun. But Vampire bingo's FB page only has 13 likes so far! What an unlucky-for-some number that is indeed.
I like the idea of free bingo playing as well as the next player so four hours everyday of 80 ball bingo is pretty darn nice. Always a way to let the loyal members play; that's a good sign.
Vampire Bingo also has 20% cashback on slots play which is awesome! I love to play the slots and even though I'm looking out for flying bats and other scary items, Vampire Bingo's slots are just as fun as any others around.
I'm not really sure why this whole vampire rage has taken off so well, and after playing at the site, I'm still not sure. However, a theme is just that; a theme. Although it feels more like Halloween each time I play here, I can't deny that they have a fabulous thing going for them. First off, I have got to make mention of their welcome offer. All new players receive a cool £15 absolutely free upon registration. It seems like the last few sites I have joined have just had really disappointing welcome offers and so I was very happy to come across this one. Also, as a member at the site, they give you the chance to additionally receive £1 each day simply for logging in. There are three types of bingo offered here, including 75, 80 and 90 ball. You can't really go wrong with a selection like that. The slots here are really great as well!
I guess this is the place for all the Twilight and True Blood fans, and since I am neither, I was curious to see what is all this vampire craze. Well, it is now a doom and gloom theme, just a cartoonish vampires, and it turns out it didn't really bother me at all. Anyway, the site is just fine, fast and easy to navigate, and I didn't have any problems to find all the information that I needed. I immediately tested the support through the live chat option, and they were great, and can't really complain about anything so far.
Not a bad thing to know, they don't just have Bingo to offer, but all the classic casino games starting with Slots, down to poker and other popular games.
As for Bingo, only four rooms, but each one covers a different game type: 75 ball, 80 ball, 90 ball and my favorite 30 ball!

Believing a local wellness centre for youth should be modelled after others in the province, but tailored to meet partner organizations and individuals, the group hired Jerre Paquette MA, PhD. (Education) to interview LAT partner organizations and individuals in order to gauge buy-in for the proposed wellness centre.
In his report presented to the Local Action Team on May 17, 2017, Paquette noted just over half (seven) of the interviewees were enthusiastic, six were supportive and only two were hesitant.
Paquette also provided three recommendations: Set aside sufficient time and resources for a collaborative, consensus-achieving facilitation workshop to develop a Statement of Vision, Statement of Mission, Strategic Plan and Action Plan; Invite chiefs from neighbouring First Nations bands to participate and involve youths early in the process.
A sub-committee comprised of several enthusiastic members of the Shuswap Local Action Team and other partners moved the vision along at a workshop in the summer of 2017.
Under the guidance of Dorothy Argent and Dr. Neils Christiansen of Aloka Consulting and Training, team members created tasks and timelines in order to guide the process in a collaborative approach that obtained the wisdom of all the partners and created a sense of ownership for everyone involved.
"This a legacy project that came out of the Child Mental Health and Substance Use (CYMHSU) Collaborative," says Kriese of the idea to provide wrap-around care services that include medical access, counselling support for students and parents and education – all in one location within the school. "When we proposed it, professionals responded with a resounding yes and less than two years later we were able to open."
Students, success and sustainability will continue to be nurtured at the SAS Wellness Centre. And, with the knowledge gained through the establishment of the centre, the partners' newest vision is to see similar wellness centres located in schools in Sicamous and Enderby.
While School District #83 has provided space, further discussions will need to be held around finding sustainable funding for the SAS centre and any future wellness centres.
In the summer of 2017, several members of the CYMHSU's Shuswap Local Action Team took the vision of a team-based wellness centre to support and empower youth through a school-based wellness centre, to a workshop facilitated by Dorothy Argent and Dr. Neils Christiansen of Aloka Consulting and Training.
Tasks and timelines were set in order to guide the process and, with funding from the Division of Family Practice, research and strategic planning were able to move forward.

The recommended daily intake for vitamin E is 15 mg. Don't take more than 1,000 mg of alpha-tocopherol per day. This amount is equivalent to approximately 1,500 IU of "d-alpha-tocopherol," sometimes labeled as "natural source" vitamin E, or 1,100 IU of "dl-alpha-tocopherol," a synthetic form of vitamin E. Consuming more than this could increase your risk of bleeding because vitamin E can act as an anticoagulant (blood thinner).
For healthy bones and teeth, women need to eat a variety of calcium-rich foods every day. Calcium keeps bones strong and helps to reduce the risk for osteoporosis, a bone disease in which the bones become weak and break easily. Some calcium-rich foods include low-fat or fat-free milk, yogurt and cheese, sardines, tofu (if made with calcium sulfate) and calcium-fortified foods including juices and cereals. Adequate amounts of vitamin D also are important, and the need for both calcium and vitamin D increases as women get older. Good sources of vitamin D include fatty fish, such as salmon, eggs and fortified foods and beverages, such as some yogurts and juices.
For this comprehensive narrative review, we evaluated both nutrition-specific and nutrition-sensitive interventions. Nutrition-specific approaches are those that address the immediate determinants of nutrition (e.g., food and nutrient intake, diet-related practices and behaviors, disease, etc.), whereas nutrition-sensitive approaches are those that address the underlying determinants of nutrition (e.g., food security, access to resources, safe and hygienic environments, adequate health services, etc.) (5, 12). We evaluated the following nutrition-specific interventions described by Bhutta et al. (13, 14): nutrition counseling and education, micronutrient supplementation and fortification, protein and energy supplementation, and lipid-based supplementation. We also included the following nutrition-sensitive approaches described by Ruel and Alderman (5) and Bhutta et al. (14): health care; family planning; water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH); empowerment; income-generation; education; and social protection. For each intervention, we 1) described the scale and coverage of the intervention, when available; 2) summarized the evidence of effectiveness for women's health and nutrition outcomes; and 3) described and evaluated the target population and delivery platforms, as described in the published articles and as summarized in Table 1. The delivery of interventions included the physical platforms, as well as the adherence and the implementation challenges of the different interventions.
Our review highlighted how a focus on delivery platforms could indicate who is missed by different nutrition interventions, by evaluating where there is overlap or divergence in where interventions are delivered (as represented in the Venn diagram in Figure 1). Our findings showed that a large proportion of nutrition-specific interventions were delivered at clinic-based settings or community-based health posts. Health centers are important delivery platforms, particularly for pregnant and lactating women (113, 210). However, only half of women worldwide even attend the appropriate number of antenatal care visits (with nearly 86% of women attending 1 visit) and only 59% receive appropriate postnatal care (211). Other delivery platforms, such as schools and universities, were more effective at reaching some adolescents and women of reproductive age. However, interventions delivered at "facilities" (schools, health clinics, health posts) require participation with those facilities, and participation is often limited because of time, costs, distance, and other responsibilities, including work and childcare (116). Facilities-based care is also more likely to miss certain groups, including older women.

During adolescence and early adulthood, women need to consume foods rich in calcium to build peak (maximum) bone mass. This will reduce the risk of developing osteoporosis, a progressive condition where there is a loss of bone that leaves those affected more susceptible to fractures. Women also need an adequate iron intake because they lose iron through menstruation. Women also need an adequate intake of calories to support energy and nutritional needs in order for the body to function properly. The amount of calories that an individual needs varies for each person and is based on age, gender and activity level. As a general recommendation, women between 23 and 50 years of age generally need between 1,700 and 2,200 calories per day to maintain their current energy needs and body weight. Older women generally require fewer calories to support and sustain energy needs. Consuming fewer than 1,500 calories per day, even in attempts to lose weight, can put women at nutritional risk and can result in malnutrition and poor health. For more information on how to calculate one's nutritional needs, go to www.choosemyplate.gov and insert your personal information. The 2005 Dietary Guidelines for Americans is another reference or guide to assist you in learning to eat a balanced and nutritious diet for good health.
What's a man to do? Fortunately, he does not have to choose between his bones and his prostate. The solution is moderation. The Baltimore Longitudinal Study of Aging, for example, found no link between a moderate consumption of calcium (about 800 mg a day, two-thirds of the RDA) and prostate cancer. In addition, a randomized clinical trial of calcium supplements of 1,200 mg a day found no effect on the prostate, but only 327 men were in the calcium group, and the supplementation lasted just four years. Finally, the Harvard scientists speculate that a high consumption of vitamin D may offset the possible risks of calcium, so a daily multivitamin may also help.
Good sources of iron include liver, kidneys, red meat, poultry, eggs, peas, legumes, dried fruits and dark, green leafy vegetables. Three ounces of cooked chicken liver contains 7.2 mg of iron; a cup of cooked spinach contains 6.4 mg. Your health care professional will probably recommend iron supplements during pregnancy (probably starting at 30 mg per day).
The implications of direct nutrition interventions on women's nutrition, birth outcome and stunting rates in children in South Asia are indisputable and well documented. In the last decade, a number of studies present evidence of the role of non-nutritional factors impacting on women's nutrition, birth outcome, caring practices and nutritional status of children. The implications of various dimensions of women's empowerment and gender inequality on child stunting is being increasingly recognised. Evidence reveals the crucial role of early age of marriage and conception, poor secondary education, domestic violence, inadequate decision-making power, poor control over resources, strenuous agriculture activities, and increasing employment of women and of interventions such as cash transfer scheme and microfinance programme on undernutrition in children. Analysis of the nutrition situation of women and children in South Asia and programme findings emphasise the significance of reaching women during adolescence, pre-conception and pregnancy stage. Ensuring women enter pregnancy with adequate height and weight and free from being anemic is crucial. Combining nutrition-specific interventions with measures for empowerment of women is essential. Improvement in dietary intake and health services of women, prevention of early age marriage and conception, completion of secondary education, enhancement in purchasing power of women, reduction of work drudgery and elimination of domestic violence deserve special attention.

That's not right. It's not going to be easy. You can read any book that interests you. People say that the fox is more cunning than other animals. He is an old friend of mine. His works will stand the test of time. It wasn't that expensive. It will rain in the afternoon. I wrote the wrong address on the envelope. I went to college for four years and all I got was this lousy diploma.
He was satisfied with the work he had done. He's standing outside the door. They often go on picnics by bicycle. Did you notice that he left the house? I did what you asked. Prakash has been detained by the police. Gene angrily pushed Bjorne away. It was tough. The Emperor shall be the symbol of the State. Their sweet melody made young people feel free.
I water the flowers. Do you want me to help? Kevin says this is the best he can do. I'm going to go sit down. Slender and form-fitting with a high cut, the new qipao contrasted sharply with the traditional one. It's a TV. No, it is enough. I am full. Sangho wanted to know if you've already talked to Stevan about what we wanted her to do. I'm kind of tired. I want you to comment.
Because he was just like a child, he yielded to temptation. I just want to crawl into a hole and never come out. We should give them some space. Where can I go surfing around here? Jennifer and Liza haven't heard from John in a long time. There are many old temples in Kyoto. Her duties include making copies of letters. Why don't you watch TV? We should make the best of the limited natural resources we have. Could I have one more coffee, please?
The signal turned green. I looked Miles in the eyes and told him the truth. Who are you rooting for? He arched his eyebrows in surprise. Where did you get those old coins? I don't like you at all. A man who angers easily should learn to count to ten - it calms trouble like pouring oil on troubled waters. I'm delighted to see you again. She removed the yolk from the egg. I cannot comment this sentence, as I don't speak Russian.
A strong wind severed the electric wires in several places. Are you sure you're up to this? You know more than you think. Ravindran lit a firecracker. Stacey always wanted to visit Avery, but he never had the chance. Benny goes to the discotheque. What makes you think the Middle East is more important than the Arctic Eskimo lands? He did all there was in his power. What are they asking for? I wonder if a third world war will break out.
My camera can shoot high-definition video. In a football game the spectators are usually ardent rooters for one of the two teams, but there also is a small group who will climb on the bandwagon of the winning team. I don't have any money with me. Kirsten said that he doesn't want a promotion. My older brother is a very good person. I'm afraid someone will see us. I don't think Hugh would do that. We all live in the same neighborhood. The boys were enthusiastic about the music. How did you do it?
This present was given to me by Ann. Her mother's death was a blow to the little girl. The baby stopped crying. The noise stopped. It doesn't go with the room at all, but I got it for free so it's all good! Never again would she want to live there. Those Hungarian girls are very pretty. Aoi dances very well. I want to live. What do you think is the busiest airport in the world?
Tareq told Manolis not to laugh so loudly. Everything is now back to normal. I want you to know that I'm sorry. Did you say that I could never win? No one knew Arne was there. I should sue them. May I eat this orange? Max made it clear that I shouldn't do that. I want this fruit. It will be delivered next week. The camel is still on its way.
Vicky has a very nice voice. Hasn't it been solved yet? Whose responsibility is it, the prefecture's or the country's? Any good negotiator plays his cards close to the vest. He married a farmer's daughter. Dan didn't even write a letter to Linda. Michel stayed at one of the hotels on Park Street. How many words are there in this dictionary? How did William take it? You know I can't wait any more. In a word, he is a man of genius.


It's election day. We hope you voted, but here is something to read that has nothing to do with the election.
It's no surprise that the issue of cybersecurity has boiled its way to the top of the pot of "things that keep us up at night" stew. The drumbeat of "protect your system" is loud, especially in regulated industries.
The deTECH team anticipates growing oversight around cybersecurity. Bankers are familiar with the FFIEC Cybersecurity Assessment Tool; in September, the FFIEC updated the Information Security section of the Information Technology Examination Handbook, and the agencies are heavily recruiting IT professionals. With this growing wave of oversight we are anticipating two areas that have historically been independent of each other becoming closely aligned-business continuity planning and incident response programs.
Data breaches have, to delight of the bad guys, become an afterthought to many of us. I received a letter in the mail recently that my information may have been compromised, and that I could enroll in free credit monitoring for a year. Yawn. I don't even recall the company. I wish this were hyperbole. It's not.
m the perspective of a consumer. For businesses, data compromises like lost email addresses, mailing addresses, and phone numbers now pile on with more sophisticated attacks like crypto-locker and distributed denial of service (DDoS). These attacks move beyond just implementing the incident response program. Responding to these attacks will need to include implementing components of your business continuity plan.
Consider crypt-locker. Also known as ransom-ware, this is a nefarious little piece of malware that automatically encrypts not only the compromised computer, but also mapped network drives, requiring a victim to pay a ransom to the bad guys who **might** provide the decryption key. The immediate response will be to implement the incident response plan. But if network drives were maliciously encrypted, important files are no longer accessible. Employees cannot perform their daily tasks. And if the issue is not stopped quickly backup files could also become encrypted and inaccessible. A well designed and tested business continuity plan would include provisions to handle an event like this, and have backed up data that is out of reach of a crypto-locking attack.
Similar issues arise with a DDoS attack. DDoS is a coordinated effort of botnet (zombie) computers sending huge numbers of requests to single websites or systems. You may have read about a recent DDoS attack that impacted several large internet companies. The most likely scenario for the deTECH readers is that a DDoS attack would occur at a DNS company or the vendor hosting key applications for your business. In this scenario, an incident response plan would only provide limited guidance because the problem is outside of your sphere of control, but employees cannot access key systems or service customers. Again, a well-designed business continuity plan would be enacted, manual operating procedures would begin, and both incident response and business continuity communications would occur.
So the takeaway this week-when the BCP refresh cycle comes around, Cybersecurity should be on the list of things to consider. Put it in the risk assessment, add provisions to respond to cyber incidents, include references to the incident response plan.

Is Obamacare Working? This Report Card Says It's Failing
By David Zeiler, Associate Editor, Money Morning • @DavidGZeiler • October 1, 2015
Is Obamacare working?
With the three-month Obamacare open enrollment period starting Nov. 1, now is a good time to assess the healthcare law.
It's been two years since the Obamacare health insurance exchanges first opened for business. And the track record of the law so far isn't terribly impressive.
Some of Obamacare is working. But some parts of the Affordable Care Act (the formal name of the healthcare law) have not worked as intended, and some are simply failing altogether.
It got off to a disastrous start, as the federally run healthcare.gov website famously failed, making it difficult or impossible for hundreds of thousands of people to sign up for coverage. It took several frantic months to iron out all the issues.
Two years later, the Obamacare website is working fine. But you can't say the same about most of the rest of the law.
Let's look at how Obamacare is working, piece by piece…
Is Obamacare Working? Covering the Uninsured
The primary goal of the ACA was to make affordable healthcare insurance available to America's 45 million uninsured. Here significant progress has been made, although not as much as had been hoped.
According to the National Health Interview Survey, the percentage of uninsured has dropped from 14.4% in 2013 to 9.2% in the first quarter of 2015. That means about 16 million Americans have gained healthcare coverage in the past two years. But 29 million people still lack coverage.
Most of those, about 14.1 million, gained coverage by signing up for an Obamacare plan via healthcare.gov or one of the state-based insurance exchanges. The rest, about 2.3 million, were young adults under age 26 who became eligible for coverage under their parents' health insurance.
Overall, we're looking at a 35% decrease in the number of uninsured, the biggest drop since 1965, when the Medicare and Medicaid programs launched.
This is Obamacare's chief success, though it has some way to go. Grade: B+
Things go downhill from here, though…

The University Endowment Lands (UEL) is an unincorporated area that lies to the west of the city of Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, and adjacent to the University of British Columbia (UBC) and the lands associated with that campus.  Pacific Spirit Regional Park lies within the UEL. The UEL is part of Metro Vancouver. Mail sent to the UEL is addressed to "Vancouver" rather than the UEL.

The UEL is administered directly by the province and landowners pay their property taxes directly to the provincial government. In a 1995 referendum, UEL residents voted against establishing a municipal governing body.

Geography
The University Endowment Lands are located immediately west of the City of Vancouver. Statistics Canada reports a total land area of . About half of the UEL is made up of Pacific Spirit Regional Park, a mostly forested land that was originally set aside for development which never materialized. Located on Point Grey, the UEL also boasts tall cliffs near the water, with steep drops of approximately  down to the beaches below.

Because of its isolated location and the nature of the steep cliffs next to the beaches, Greater Vancouver's only nude beaches are located in the University Endowment Lands, the best known being Wreck Beach, located near the western tip of the peninsula.

Climate

Because the UEL is close to seaside cliffs and the Strait of Georgia, above-average winds are common. Most of the winds come from the Strait itself, Howe Sound and English Bay.

Snowfalls are also more common than many parts of the City of Vancouver because of the area's higher altitude and the lack of an urban heat island due to less terrestrial development.

The UEL has higher humidity compared to other parts of Greater Vancouver because it is surrounded on three sides by water. Fog is common in the winter months, especially in areas near Pacific Spirit Park and the water.

History
The territory was originally held by the Musqueam Indian Band which still lays claim to the area.

The creation of the University Endowment Lands was first proposed after the passing of the University Endowment Act of 1907, in which the British Columbia provincial government agreed to set aside two million acres (8,000 km2) of British Columbia Crown land to be sold or leased to fund the creation of a university. This land was to be in the Cariboo region of the province's Interior, and consisted of mostly agricultural land. This idea was changed in 1911 when the provincial government passed the University Site Act, which set aside  in Point Grey for the university. This is where the UEL is located today.

By 1920, it was realized that the Cariboo land did not have a high enough market value to generate the income needed for the university, so that idea was abandoned. This led to the British Columbia University Loan Act, which allowed the Lieutenant-Governor to sell 3,000 acres (12 km2) of Crown land on Point Grey for residential development. The money from the auction was put in the University Endowment Account for the university.

However, a lot of the development that was planned was halted due to economic hardships stemming from the Great Depression. The university could not afford to prepare the land for development or to clear the forest land for development. In the 1930s, the university returned control of the land to the government. By the mid-1950s, over half of the undeveloped land in the UEL remained undeveloped due to the Depression and war shortages in the 1940s.

There have been many attempts to develop this land, which was then opposed by environmentally aware residents in the area. In 1988, the creation of Pacific Spirit Park was announced by the provincial Premier Bill Vander Zalm. The park currently makes up of over half of the UEL, acting as a greenbelt between the developed areas and the City of Vancouver. Development, in large part, is very limited; for any proposed developments in the UEL by the Greater Vancouver Regional District or the University of British Columbia, the following groups must be consulted beforehand: university students, university staff, university faculty, environmental groups, businesses, residents and the general public.

Demographics

In the 2021 census the University Endowment Lands had an official permanent population of 3,193.

The University Endowment Lands' residential population is small and the non-university population includes mostly high-income professionals as the land there is very expensive. The other residents are mostly students living in the university's residences.

Government and politics
An unincorporated entity, the UEL has no mayor or municipal government. Rather, it is mostly governed by the University of British Columbia, the Metro Vancouver Regional District (MVRD) and the Province of British Columbia, and they control three entities: the University of British Columbia, University Hill and Pacific Spirit Regional Park. It is part of Electoral Area A of the GVRD.

Residential and commercial taxes are paid directly to the provincial government.

UEL residents are eligible to vote only for school board trustees in City of Vancouver municipal elections.

For provincial elections, the UEL falls under the Vancouver-Point Grey electoral riding.  The current Member of the Legislative Assembly is David Eby.

For federal elections, the UEL is in the Vancouver Quadra electoral riding. The seat is held by Joyce Murray.

Neighbourhoods

The UEL is made up of four neighbourhood areas:
 Area A is bordered by Chancellor Boulevard, Acadia Road, University Boulevard and Wesbrook Mall.
 Area B lies between Chancellor Boulevard and NW Marine Drive.
 Area C is between Blanca Street, West 6th Avenue, Tasmania Crescent and College Highroad.
 Area D is bordered by University Boulevard, Agronomy and Toronto Roads, Wesbrook Mall and includes Block F.

Transportation

Pacific Spirit Regional Park, at the eastern end of the Endowment Lands, creates a physical buffer between the University and the adjacent Vancouver neighbourhoods of West Point Grey and Dunbar. Because of this, there are only five roads leading from Vancouver into the UEL: North West Marine Drive, 4th Avenue/Chancellor Boulevard, 10th Avenue/University Boulevard, 16th Avenue, and South West Marine Drive.

However, the large number of students and staff commuting to UBC on a daily basis means that the area is easily accessible by public transit. UBC Exchange is the western terminus of many TransLink bus routes, and the bus system is heavily used due to a discount bus pass system called U-Pass. The following routes service the UEL and UBC:

 #4 – UBC/Downtown/Powell
 #9 – UBC / Alma / Granville / Commercial–Broadway Station / Boundary
 #14 – UBC/Hastings
 #25 – UBC / Brentwood Station
 #33 – UBC / 29th Avenue Station
 #R4 – UBC / Joyce Station
 #44 – UBC/Downtown
 #49 – UBC / Dunbar Loop / Metrotown Station
 #68 – UBC / Wesbrook Village
 #84 – UBC / VCC–Clark Station
 #99 B-Line – UBC / Commercial–Broadway Station
 #258 – UBC / West Vancouver
 #480 – UBC / Bridgeport Station
 #N17 – UBC/Downtown

Economy
The UEL is largely a residential neighbourhood, and most economic activity is centred at the University of British Columbia and the area around University Village and University Marketplace. UBC's stores are located mostly in the Student Union Building ("the SUB"). The Village and Marketplace, located next to each other near the intersection of University Boulevard and Allison Road, are located off-campus and home to a food court, several restaurants, some shops, some medical clinics and some services.

The eastern end of the UEL is home to the University Golf Course, which is one of the original developments in the non-campus portions of the UEL.

Wreck Beach is also a popular area for locals and tourists alike due to its reputation as one of the largest clothing optional beaches in North America.  A thriving market in food, drink, clothing, personal services and various recreational substances has prospered on the beach for decades.

Commercial centres

University Village
The University Village is the first commercial structure built on the UEL. Its main level mostly includes a convenience store, a McDonald's restaurant, a photocopying store and a florist.

The second level is home to a Japanese restaurant, a salon, a pizza parlour and a discount textbook store (which is in direct competition with UBC Bookstore, located on campus).

The basement level is entirely dedicated to a multicultural-themed food court, including Chinese, Japanese, Indian, Middle Eastern, etc.

University Marketplace
The University Marketplace is a mixed commercial-residential structure completed around the late 1990s to the early 2000s. The main floor is home to Rogers Wireless, Staples Business Depot, Starbucks, several restaurants, some cafes and others.

The second floor of the Marketplace contains mostly offices and medical clinics. Some professors from UBC (especially those in the medical field) have offices located there, likely due to the proximity of the science buildings and UBC Hospital.

The upper floors of the Marketplace contain mostly residential apartment housing.

Education

The UEL is adjacent to the University of British Columbia (hence the name "University Endowment Lands"), the Vancouver School of Theology and Regent College.

In addition, the UEL is served by the Vancouver School Board and is zoned to University Hill Secondary School and University Hill Elementary School.

Emergency services and public safety
Police
Unlike neighbouring City of Vancouver, which is under the jurisdiction of Vancouver Police Department, the UEL is under the jurisdiction of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) University detachment because of its Provincial Crown Land status.
Fire and rescue
The UEL is served by the Vancouver Fire and Rescue Services under contract.
Ambulance
Ambulance service is provided by British Columbia Ambulance Service, as is the entire province.
Emergency social services
Organized and provided by the UBC Emergency Planning Office, Department of Health Safety and Environment.
Health care facilities
UBC Hospital Urgent Care Centre is the closest hospital. However, for serious symptoms like chest pain, abdominal pain, difficulty breathing or stroke, patients will be transferred to the Vancouver General Hospital.
 If children or women require specialty services, they will be transferred to BC Children's Hospital or BC Women's Hospital & Health Centre.

As nominations close for the Nobel Peace Prize on Monday, Archbishop Desmond Tutu joined over 628,000* citizens and over 230 academics from 111 universities in supporting the call for Greek islanders to be considered for this prestigious award.
Among the signers of this nomination, which global citizens movement Avaaz helped coordinate, was Nobel Laureate Economist Sir Christopher Pisaridis, Professor Margaret MacMillan from Oxford University as well as Professor Anthony Giddens from the London School of Economics.
The nominated "Aegean Solidarity Movement" includes over 16 groups* and individuals from 9 islands was submitted to the Nobel Prize committee on Sunday. The letter in support of their nomination, says "the worst humanitarian crisis since World War II has been dealt with so far through the unprecedented, spontaneous mobilizations of ordinary, largely-anonymous people." The Greek government has also announced a second Nobel nomination today including individuals such as Susan Sarandon.
Of the 900,000 refugees who have arrived in Europe last year, over eighty per cent of refugees arriving in Europe come via boats to Greece and since last year, Avaaz members in Greece have been delivering aid to the islands and campaigning for Europe to open its borders.
The humane actions of the Greek islanders come in stark contrast to many EU leaders who have failed to adequately respond to the crisis and more recently the legislation in Denmark to collect personal items from refugees.
For the last 18 months, Avaaz members have played a significant role in helping refugees on the islands. A mission of Greek Avaaz volunteers delivered thousands of sleeping bags and hygiene kits to recently arrived refugees as well as helped rescue over 200 unaccompanied children arriving on the islands. This winter, hundreds of Avaaz members paid for refugee accommodation to be completed on Leros island which offered shelter to hundreds of people a day.
"Innocent people are desperately seeking a way out of the hell of Syria to restart their lives, children are drowning in our seas and our political leaders are watching and still arguing about numbers, about fences, about registration documents and passports, about Dublin and Schengen."


ABSTRACT: Since the early 2000s annual statistics on fuel poverty in England have been published by the UK government. These statistics are based on a model of household's energy expenditures (ENEX) incorporating an engineering model of the quantity of energy required to heat a dwelling to a specified temperature. Concern has been raised that households facing affordability difficulties often spend less than the 'required' amount, so that calculations based on their self-reported energy expenditure may underestimate the extent of fuel poverty. We compare official fuel poverty rates based on the engineering model with those based on consumers' self-reported ENEX from the Living Costs and Food Survey (LCF). Comparisons, using both the 10% and Low-Income High-Cost fuel poverty metrics, are provided for different household groups over the period 2003-04 to 2014.We find that self-reported ENEX does not always under-report fuel poverty relative to modelled ENEX, since whether or not the headline fuel poverty rate is higher using reported or modelled ENEX varies between years. In particular, reported ENEX fuel poverty rates exceed modelled ENEX fuel poverty rates for social housing tenants in all the years where comparison is possible. This finding is significant because social housing dwellings generally have higher than average energy efficiency ratings, and so modelled energy expenditure is likely to be low compared to other tenancy types. We also find that comparisons made previously were likely to be affected by a significant measurement issue in the LCF, which led to ENEX in prepayment meter households being under-estimated. Overall, the comparisons reflect the foundation of the official English fuel poverty statistics on a model, and the dependence of these statistics on the characteristics of this underlying model. To gain further insight on the issues we discuss, and to enable a definitive assessment of the modelling behind the official fuel poverty statistics, we recommend that questions recording households' reported ENEX are reintroduced into the English Housing Survey.

Red Cross Plans to Fight Disasters With Fast Funding
8 May, 2018 by Trust.org in Flood Protection
YAOUNDE, May 8 (Thomson Reuters Foundation) – A fund launched by the Red Cross aims to deliver life-saving humanitarian aid before rather than after floods, droughts and other natural hazards hit, so as to reduce damage and trauma in some of the world's most disaster-prone areas.

The "Forecast-based Action Fund", set up by the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC), uses weather predictions and historical data to trigger the distribution of money when a natural disaster looms.
The German government has committed 3.6 million Swiss francs ($3.6 million) to the new forecast-based fund.
It will sit within another of the IFRC's disaster relief funds that is worth 25 million-30 million Swiss francs annually, and can draw more from that pot of money.
"It means that life-saving action can now take place before anyone is in immediate danger, which will save lives and reduce the need for more costly emergency response and recovery efforts," said Pascale Meige, the IFRC's director of disaster and crisis prevention, response and recovery.
Fifteen Red Cross/Red Crescent societies in Africa, the Americas and Asia-Pacific are readying to tap into the fund over the next two years, if needed. Other branches may also use it.
The model has been tested in communities in Peru, Togo, Uganda, Bangladesh, Mozambique and Mongolia since 2014.
"Waiting for disasters to happen should not be an option any more," Peter Felten, head of humanitarian assistance at the German Federal Foreign Office, said in a statement.
Funding is triggered by pre-set thresholds such as rainfall forecasts combined with rising river levels, Maarten van Aalst, director of the Red Cross Red Crescent Climate Centre, told the Thomson Reuters Foundation.
"As soon as the forecast reaches that level of severity, the mechanism can release the funds for pre-specified early actions," he said in emailed comments.
For example, in a community-based scheme in Bangladesh, predictions that the Brahmaputra river would overflow in 2017 sparked cash grants for local people who could then use the money to support their families during the emergency, he said.
The mechanism could change the way agencies tackle disasters, providing an incentive to act when the alarm bells start ringing, rather than once a disaster has struck, he noted.
Governments and aid agencies have been calling for more investment in disaster prevention for years, to cut the rising bill for helping people hit by crises.
In 2016, former U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon called on states to dedicate at least 1 percent of international development assistance by 2020 to reducing the risks of disasters and preparing for them.
This March, Zambian officials said the forecast-based financing model could be used as part of a national strategy for managing flood risk, and would strengthen preparedness.

Parables sometimes muddy the waters. But sometimes they hold up a mirror so we can see ourselves. This is one of those parables, adapted from Luke 15…
Once there was a man who lived in a nice, quiet town. He went through good times and bad in that little town. And always the people of that town were there to celebrate or grieve with him.
The man worked hard. And God blessed his efforts. And so, as he got older, he found himself one of the wealthiest people in the town. He had a beautiful house, the best food, the best clothes. But his pride and joy was never in the things he had. It was in his two sons.
They grew up with all the advantages: education, security, love. They grew into handsome young men that everyone in town admired. Their father taught them his business. He set aside a trust that they could access upon his death. But he also taught them to love the Lord, their family, and their town.
The older son was dutiful. He did his best to learn the business and take on the increasing responsibilities his father gave him. Sometimes he thought about what else he might do, where he might go, but in the end all he wanted was to be at home and follow his father's example.
The younger son was different. He was always dreaming of other places and chafing under the responsibilities his father gave him. Until, one day, he came to his father. Full of arrogance, he dismissed the father's work and the town he loved as provincial and boring.
"It seems like you're going to live forever, and I'm tired of waiting for what's mine," he said. "I don't want your life. I don't want your God. I don't want your church. Change that trust so I can have it now. And then I'm gone."
His arrogance was breathtaking. And, yet, his father agreed. Sadly, he rearranged his affairs so that both his sons could take possession of what he intended to be theirs. He divided everything he had between the two brothers. His advisers were shocked, and warned him that he'd have nothing. But he shushed them and told them that's how he wanted it.
So the younger son left. He went to a thriving, vibrant city far away from the little town, a city that never slept, full of treasures for a young man with wealth to uncover. He explored every scene, ate in the best restaurants, became a fixture in the most exclusive clubs. And he also discovered, and enjoyed, some other experiences that just weren't available in a small town. He had no shortage of friends, especially when he pulled out the card and paid the checks. He had known it all along: there was so much more to life than that small, dead-end town where his father and brother worked the days away.
But, faster than he expected, the money ran out. His cards started getting declined. The clubs that welcomed him turned him away. The friends avoided him. The girls who had opened their beds to him laughed at him. He lost his downtown apartment, his car, his tabs at the best restaurants. He found himself washing dishes in steaming kitchens, collecting cans from the garbage, squeegeeing windshields for loose change. And then some things he didn't want to think about.
And one day, rooting through the garbage on a cold, windy street corner for a crushed Pabst Blue Ribbon can, a thought struck him. He remembered his father's guest room. It was just a bedroom, but the memory reminded him of how his father never turned away someone in need of a roof over their head. And then he was in tears, sobbing, thinking about the home he had left.
It took a while. He hitchhiked, walked. Stole a bus ticket once. But eventually he was back in the little town. And there was the driveway of the house. He almost lost his nerve, but calmed himself by reciting his speech in his head. "I'm so, so sorry for all I've done. I'm so tired and hungry. Can I just stay a few nights in the guest room until I figure out my next step? Maybe have a few leftovers to eat? I know I can never make up for my sins, but I'll do any work you need done."
And then he saw someone running toward him. He started to run away, but then saw who it was. His father. His graying father, sprinting toward him like Usain Bolt, with his arms wide, eyes wet, and a smile on his face. Before he could move, his father had him in a bear hug. He thought briefly of how bad he smelled, but his dad didn't seem to notice. He started to recite his speech, but it was muffled by his father's shoulder and then drowned out by his shouting.
"Look who's home!" he roared, to no one and everyone in particular. And then he was shouting orders to the cook, to get a feast on the table. "We have to celebrate!" he screamed. Hustling his son inside, he pushed him into the bathroom to take a long shower. There was a pile of his father's own clothes waiting for him when he got out: his rags were nowhere to be seen. And, when he was dressed, his father told him to take a nap — in the bedroom he'd grown up in, still just as he had left it.
That night, there was a party like that little town had never seen. His father had invited everyone. The food was abundant, the music was loud, and the party went well into the night.
Conspicuous by his absence, though, was the man's other son. The father found him in his own room, headphones clamped tightly over his ears to drown out the sounds of the celebration. "What are you doing?" he asked. "Come join the party."
The older son responded with a bitterness his father had never heard in him before. "You know, if you'd wanted to have a party for one of your sons, I can think of a better choice than that ungrateful, manipulative freeloader. You have another son, you know, who's always tried to be loyal and responsible. Maybe you could have at least ordered him a pizza so he could have a few friends over."
The father shook his head, tears coming to his eyes for the second time that day. "Son, you have always been with me. And, for that, I'm happy to give you everything I have. But the celebration tonight isn't about reward. It's about the fact that one of the two people I love more than anyone or anything in the world, a son who everyone else had given up for dead, has come home to me."
Taking his son's hand in his own, he looked him in the eye. "Don't you see? We have to celebrate."

Avalanche win 5-3 and Pekka Rinne is pulled before Nashville decides to start playing.
Nashville's Mike Fisher had the puck. Colorado's Gabriel Landeskog took it. Nashville's other four skaters drifted helplessly. Colorado's Nathan MacKinnon went in for the knockout.
MacKinnon, fed deftly by Landeskog, was all alone to beat Pekka Rinne, a mismatch on a night full of them. And in that swooping finish he took Pepsi Center back to the good old days and this series to a new place.
The Stanley Cup playoffs can thrill, create stars and bring existing stars to greater heights. And they can surprise. Most of the hockey world that unanimously picked the Cup-favorite Predators to win this series gave the Avalanche a game. So maybe Monday's 5-3 Colorado win is just that, the one game the young Avs are going to get before the Predators drop the hammer and move on to bigger challenges.
But when you actually see that game happen, you have to consider it as part of the whole. And the truth through three games is that Colorado has been there stride for stride or better, with a few gaffes — and resulting Predators pounces — that cost the Avalanche twice at Bridgestone Arena.
Now that we've seen the Avs take a game – with the quickest 1-0 lead yet of the three, with the Predators bumbling about in embarrassing fashion for the entire first period, with MacKinnon continuing to show why he might be this league's MVP – how can Wednesday's attempt at a series equalizer in the same rocking building be dismissed as unlikely?
"In my opinion, we've been the better team five on five," Colorado coach Jared Bednar said after the teams followed up 14 combined penalties in Game 3 with 13 in Game 4, the Predators taking most of their seven because of frustration or defensive inadequacy or both.
"There's a tremendous hockey team across from us," Ryan Johansen said after scoring one of Nashville's three goals to help make the final score look better. "It doesn't matter who you play in our league, that's the beauty of it –if you're not on your best, you'll lose."
Even without starting goalie Semyon Varlamov and defensive aces Erik Johnson and Samuel Girard, Colorado is 60 comparable minutes away from establishing a brand-new, three-game series with all pressure on the Predators.
And the Predators can't let that happen. They have to be better than this. This was 25 minutes of garbage creating 35 minutes of garbage time. Another turnover led to MacKinnon's second goal and a 4-0 lead with 15:35 left in the second period, and that was it for Rinne. He gave up four goals on 15 shots, and there will be plenty of freaking out about his play, but please understand: He. Had. No. Chance.
His teammates treated him to a torching.
"We just weren't very good in front of him. I didn't think we were giving him the support he needed," Predators coach Peter Laviolette said of the decision to send in Juuse Saros, who played well in relief.
"Obviously we gave up some Grade-A chances right in front of Pekks," Colton Sissons said, "and hung him out to dry with some pretty talented players."
The Predators can't have Roman Josi and Ryan Ellis failing to clear and failing to cover while Filip Forsberg is beat to the net less than 2 minutes into the game. They can't be this slow to pucks, or lose this many puck battles when they arrive in time. They can't have P.K. Subban losing his mind and punching MacKinnon in the back of the head. They can't wait until garbage time to start playing.
It's time, in Wednesday's Game 4, to see the team that won the Presidents' Trophy and established itself as the one to beat in these playoffs.
The Predators would never talk about anything other than that, the next game, but we can. Everyone knows what's next if the Predators and Winnipeg Jets don't blow their 2-0 series starts, a second-round meeting that would be worthy of a Stanley Cup Final. And neither side wants to be at a distinct rest disadvantage.
The Jets lost 6-2 on Sunday at Minnesota and face their own pivotal moment Tuesday against the Wild. They were awful in Game 3. The Predators were awful in their own Game 3. They will sneak subtle glances at each other over the next two nights. Eventually they should meet.
Boston and Tampa Bay also had 2-0 leads in their series entering Monday and took road beatings from Toronto and New Jersey, respectively. It happens.
But the Predators are going to have to earn this. These Avalanche aren't nearly in the realm of the teams that brought two Stanley Cups to Denver and contended for more with great players (Joe Sakic, Peter Forsberg), repugnant villains (Claude Lemieux) and mixtures of both (Patrick Roy). But Sakic the GM has put together a fast, young group that just matched the fourth-best regular-season turnaround in NHL history, and just thumped the Stanley Cup favorite in a playoff game.
The Avs must be taken seriously. There's no indication the Predators have failed to do so. Laviolette grumbled before flying to Denver about media not giving the Avalanche enough respect, but that's not true either.
Fans at the Bridgestone Arena started chanting "We want the cup" during the first period of Game 3 between Nashville and the Colorado Avalanche.
The hockey world expected this series to be quick and easy because of how much respect it has for the Nashville Predators. That's all. They earned it with a consistently excellent regular season on the heels of a Stanley Cup Final run, and it's time for them to prove everyone right. It's time to be the team of the past six months — a team that stinks to this degree only on rare occasions, and always cleans up right afterward.
