I have a long association with rural environments and wilderness
areas, which has inspired my work — the drama and wild beauty
of the natural world contrasting with the grace of the figurative.
In my work, I am drawn to classical realism and subjects which
combine grace and elegance with strength and resilience.
Catherine has always had a deep love for animals, which shows in her artworks. After coming to Australia from the US in 1980, she was drawn to capture the vitality and power of animals in motion through sculpture. Her piece "Flow" is in the collection of the Tweed Art Gallery, and she has done public artworks for the Scenic Rim Council, Qld Emergency Services, Qld National Parks, and has created a bronze at Wyaralong Dam commemorating the RAAF history of the area. In 2016 she created a sculpture of an Australian sailor now sited in Brisbane's Southbank Parklands. In 2017 she created a dynamic portrait of a working kelpie for the town of Bonalbo in NSW. Her 2019 entry "Here's Trouble" was Grand Champion Sculpture at Brisbane's Royal Queensland Art Show. In 2020 Catherine did a series of native wildlife , now installed throughout the public spaces in Boonah. Catherine's sculptures are cast using the traditional lost-wax method, chasing and patinizing each piece by hand.
I am awed and inspired by the great figurative sculptors of the past, as well as the amazing artists of the present day who continue the tradition of classical realism.

With Mandate in Place, 96% of New York Teachers Are Vaccinated (U.S. Society)
There have been 43,853,215 coronavirus cases in the United States, and 703,402 people have died (Johns Hopkins). The United States has administered 396,919,564 vaccine doses, with 64.9% of all Americans having received at least one vaccine dose and 56% fully vaccinated. Among adults aged 18 or older 77.7% have received at least one dose, and 67.3% are fully vaccinated (U.S. CDC). 3.1% of Americans have received a booster shot. Worldwide, there have been 235,495,429 confirmed cases of coronavirus, with 4,811,281 deaths.
European Regulator Backs Booster Shots
The European Medicines Agency (EMA) endorsed Covid-19 vaccine booster shots for a broad range of individuals on Monday. An expert committee for the agency said that Pfizer's vaccine could be given as a booster to those over 18 at least six months after their second dose (WSJ). It is still evaluating data for Moderna's vaccine, but said that it or Pfizer's vaccine could be administered to people with weakened immune systems at least 28 days after their second shot. The EMA's recommendation includes more individuals than the FDA did in it's recommendation, which came last week, and included those aged 65 and older and those at high risk of severe disease. Individual European countries must now decide whether or not to accept the EMA's wide endorsement or to limit the scope of their own booster vaccination programs. Italy, France, Germany and Ireland have already started to administer booster shots and the Netherlands plans to do so soon but only to people who are immuno-suppressed (Reuters).
Scientists Seek One Coronavirus Vaccine to Rule Them All
Scientists believe that ending this coronavirus pandemic, and preventing the next one, could be done with a single vaccine. Some researchers are already trying to develop that vaccine -- a pan-coronavirus vaccine that would protect people from not only all Covid-19 variants but also from a range of coronaviruses that cause disease in humans (WSJ). Roughly 20 research teams are already tackling the challenge of a single shot that would address all coronaviruses and some believe that since coronaviruses mutate less often and have fewer distinct lineages, it might be an easier task than developing a universal vaccine against influenza, for example. "We need to work proactively on these viruses and many, many others," said David Veesler, a University of Washington School of Medicine biochemist whose lab is testing an experimental vaccine against a group of coronaviruses.
According to the Journal, "The Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness Innovations, an Oslo-based organization that funds development of vaccines for epidemic diseases, is investing $200 million in grants for early-stage development of vaccines that protect broadly against dangerous coronaviruses. The U.S. National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, whose scientists are studying ways to make coronavirus vaccines, is awarding a further $95 million to other researchers, including $36 million to teams at Duke University, the University of Wisconsin, Madison and Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston."
Pfizer Efficacy Drops After Six Months, Says New Study
The Pfizer vaccine dropped from 88% efficacy of preventing severe infections to 47% six months after the second dose, according to data published on Monday in the Lancet. The data, which U.S. health authorities considered when deciding on booster shot recommendations, was released previously ahead of peer review. The analysis showed that the vaccine was highly effective (90%) at preventing hospitalization and death for at least six months, even against the Delta variant. According to Reuters, "vaccine effectiveness against the Delta variant was 93% after the first month, declining to 53% after four months. Against other coronavirus variants, efficacy declined to 67% from 97%."
"To us, that suggests Delta is not an escape variant that is completely evading vaccine protection," said study leader Sara Tartof with Kaiser Permanente Southern California's Department of Research & Evaluation. "If it was, we would probably not have seen high protection after vaccination, because vaccination would not be working in that case. It would start low, and stay low."
Risk of Myocarditis in Young Men After Second Vaccine Increases But is Rare
A second dose of the coronavirus vaccines made by Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna can nearly triple the chances of a rare heart condition called myocarditis in young men, a new study published on Monday showed (NYT). But the absolute risk of the condition, which causes inflamed heart muscle, remains extremely low. The study found 5.8 cases per million second doses in men with an average age of 25 years. Following the first dose, the risk was much less, at 0.8 cases per million. Health experts have said that the benefits of the coronavirus vaccines far outweigh the risk of myocarditis, but some regulators, like those in Britain and Hong Kong, have recommended a single dose for adolescents aged 12 to 15 years as a precaution. The findings were published in JAMA Internal Medicine.
Global Trade Boom to Continue, Says WTO
The World Trade Organization (WTO) said that global trade will continue on the path of rapid rebound this year and next, with Asia seeing the strongest gains in exports. The organization's new forecasts, released Monday, highlighted how the pandemic has affected countries' economies unequally. "The trade recovery is strong but unequal," said Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, the WTO's director general. "Poorer regions with mostly unvaccinated populations are lagging behind." According to the Wall Street Journal, "Asia's exports of goods will be 18.8% higher by the end of 2022 than two years earlier, while Africa's exports are set to rise by just 1.9%. The trade dispute body expects North American exports to be up 8%, and European exports to be 7.8% higher."
New Zealand Abandons "Covid Zero" Strategy
New Zealand has given up its goal of "covid zero." On Monday, Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern acknowledged that the current seven-week lockdown has failed to stop the spread of the Delta variant and said that restrictions would be gradually lifted in Auckland (NYT). "We're transitioning from our current strategy into a new way of doing things," Ms. Ardern told reporters. "With Delta, the return to zero is incredibly difficult, and our restrictions alone are not enough to achieve that quickly. In fact, for this outbreak, it's clear that long periods of heavy restrictions has not got us to zero cases."
"What we have called a long tail," she added, "feels more like a tentacle that has been incredibly hard to shake." New Zealand has, for a year and a half, closed its borders and enforced lockdowns quickly in order to keep the virus at bay. The approach has been successful and the country has had one of the lowest rates of cases and deaths in the world. But the most recent lockdown brought protests from residents of Auckland, and many citizens are angry that the vaccination campaign only began in earnest last month, far behind most other developed nations. Ardern said on Monday that the country would take a three-stage map out of lockdown in an effort to "make everyday life a little easier." But to get away from lockdowns completely, Ardern said that widespread vaccination would be needed; around 79% of the population 12 and older have received at least one dose and 48% have received two doses.
Ukraine's Death Toll Highest Since May
The number of daily coronavirus-related deaths in Ukraine rose above 300 for the first time since May, according to data from the health ministry released on Tuesday (Reuters). The ministry reported 9,846 new infections in the past 24 hours. The number of cases has been growing steadily for the past several weeks and the government has tightened lockdown restrictions as a result. Only about 5.82 million people out of the country's 41 million population have been fully vaccinated.
Australia Won't Allow Tourists to Visit Until 2022
Foreign tourists will not be welcomed back to Australia until at least 2022, the prime minister said on Tuesday in outlining plans for lifting restrictions. The country will prioritize the return of skilled migrants and students, said Prime Minister Scott Morrison, but only after 80% of the full population aged 16 and over is vaccinated (AP). Just days ago Morrison announced that vaccinated citizens and permanent residents currently abroad could return to the country in November, the first time the borders were open to them since March 2020. The country's travel restrictions are the strictest of any democracy in the world and have led to the lowest level of immigration since World War II.
U.S. Government & Politics
Treasury Department to Redistribute Rental Assistance to Those in Most Need
The Wall Street Journal reports that the U.S. Treasury Department will begin redistributing rental assistance funds from organizations that have not been spending the funds fast enough to those in more need, according to guidance released on Monday (WSJ). The Journal explains, "Grantees that haven't obligated at least 65% of the funds received under the pandemic Emergency Rental Assistance program by Sept. 30 must submit an improvement plan to the Treasury Department laying out steps they plan to take to get more funds out the door, the agency said. The lowest-performing groups—those that haven't spent or distributed at least 30% of the funds received—could see the relief money redistributed to other communities." Of $46.6 billion appropriated by Congress for rental relief, only $7.7 billion has been distributed according to data released last month by the department.
Asian Americans Blame Trump But Not Republicans for Discrimination
In yesterday's brief we covered a POLITICO/Morning Consult poll that found that Asian Americans are increasingly cohere as a voting bloc in the wake of a pandemic year characterized by greater visibility and fear of violence. According to a follow up Politico article, the poll also found that while Asian-Americans blame Trump for a perceived increase in discrimination, they do not blame the Republican party more widely (Politico). Politico writes, "A majority of Asian American/Pacific Islander voters found the former president largely responsible for anti-AAPI discrimination during last year's spike in violence amid the Covid pandemic. But that animus didn't translate down the ballot, with a far lower percentage of AAPI voters saying the same about Republican lawmakers, according to the survey." The survey found that 56% said Trump was a major reason for discrimination, but only 33% said the same of Republicans while 31% said the same about Republican legislators. Politico writes, "The disconnect could be a function of Trump's outsized persona within the party and his explicit use of racist terms about the pandemic, according to Asian American activists and academics. From 'kung flu' to 'China virus,' Trump's rhetoric around the pandemic became a major factor in pushing Asian Americans to get more politically engaged in 2020."

Pandemic-Related Inflation Pressures Slow, But Broader Pressures Remain
The Wall Street Journal reports that pandemic-related pressures driving inflation have begun to slow, but even as they do, broader inflationary pressures remain (WSJ). The Journal writes, "That is the message from a slew of alternative inflation measures that strip away price changes due to idiosyncratic swings in supply and demand, and home in on longer-lasting pressures." Brent Meyer, an economist at the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta, stated, "All of these measures have moved from signaling price stability to signaling sharp accelerations in underlying inflation." Not everyone is concerned with some seeing the trends as a return to normal. Blerina Uruci, senior U.S. economist at Barclays, told the Journal, "To now see price pressures picking up, but not at extremely worrying levels—it's progress."
Cheap Appliances in Short Supply, As Companies Prioritize Expensive Products Amid Supply Chain Disruptions
As the global economy wrestles with supply chain disruptions, it is becoming difficult to obtain cheap appliances (WSJ). The reason is that as the Wall Street Journal explains, "companies that make products from lawn mowers to barbecue grills are prioritizing higher-priced models, in some cases making cheaper alternatives harder or impossible to find, company executives, retailers and analysts say." Whirlpool Corp., for example, has said it is shifting to pricier products as it seeks to offset rising costs. The Journal similarly notes, "Auto makers and other companies, faced with strapped suppliers, are directing limited parts to their highest-margin products."

With Mandate in Place, 96% of New York Teachers Are Vaccinated
With New York City's vaccine mandate for school staff now in place, New York City Mayor Bill De Blasio announced that thousands of teachers have now gotten their vaccines, touting the overall vaccine rate (NYT). According to De Blasio, 96% of teachers have now been vaccinated along with 99% of principals. Among all full-time school employees, 95% are vaccinated. The Times writes, "New York's mandate, which took effect when the school day started on Monday, is the mayor's first attempt at requiring vaccination without a test-out option for any city workers. It could lay the groundwork for a much broader requirement for the city's vast work force." At his press conference, De Blasio stated, "These mandates work, and we're going to consider in the days ahead what else makes sense to do."

Do we need lessons in life?
Teachers should give pupils lessons in how to cope with life and be happy, a government adviser says.
Professor Lord Richard Layard, from the London School of Economics, believes the central purpose of schools should be to teach "the secrets of happiness".
He is calling for a new generation of teachers specialising in what is known as "emotional intelligence".
Teachers' leaders say they do all they can to promote children's well-being and the timetable is already crowded.
Lord Layard said people were no happier today than they were 50 years ago and that there had been a sharp fall in the numbers saying they trusted other people.
"We have had endless experiments trying to teach people not to take drugs or drink which have failed.
"We need to go down the route of giving values to people. There are scientifically-evaluated programmes which have halved depression in teenagers."
He said schools should follow programmes in "emotional intelligence", so that children could learn how to manage their emotions and look at attitudes to work and money.
The ideas could be made part of lessons in personal, social and health education, he said.
John Bangs of the National Union of Teachers said: "Our members recognise the diagnosis but will be concerned by the solution.
"Teachers spend a lot of time trying to ensure that their pupils are happy people, however, schools are test and exam factories these days.
"If schools are going to spend more time on developing ethos and encouraging pupils to be confident and happy then less time needs to be spent on lessons."
Wellington College introduced a programme of happiness or well-being lessons for older pupils last autumn.
The independent school collaborated with the Well-Being Institute of the University of Cambridge to devise the programme.
The school's website says the aim is to equip children "with an understanding of what makes lives thrive and flourish, and how they can improve their chances of experiencing happiness, good health, a sense of accomplishment and lasting companionship.
"The lessons should help them cope better during their teenage years, both in and out of school, and later at university."
The lessons are held once a fortnight throughout the school year.
Anti-bullying campaigners believe teaching children about their emotions will help improve behaviour in schools.
Emma-Jane Cross, of the charity Beatbullying said: "Teaching children emotional intelligence is central to the successful prevention of bullying behaviour all through their lives.
"We have seen this work in our bullying prevention programme for primary schools. After working with Beatbullying, schools report a significant reduction in bullying and disruptive behaviour of, on average, 40%."
Should happiness be taught in schools? Could teaching pupils lessons in emotional intelligence help tackle issues like bullying?
I think that it's a bad idea and students these days wouldn't listen anyway! It's something that they should be taught at home by the people who have the most effect on them not someone who they don't truly know.
Yet another initiative that makes teachers responsible for the upbringing of children that aren't their own. One begins to wonder when getting a teaching qualification made you responsible for the moral, social, ethical, emotional upbringing of students that you see for a couple of hours a week. I'd also like to know, who's going to give me lessons in happiness so that I can leave my problems at home and not have to contend with 30 adolescents who don't seem to care what happens outside their own little worlds.
If schools teach children how to get the best out of themselves, whatever their skills level - that is, educate them - then happiness in life will surely follow. 'Happiness lessons' are a distraction from the core business of education, which is emancipation. On the 'financial awareness' subject, I would have thought that financial responsibility would be a parental responsibility - especially for someone who has direct experience!
As a teacher, I get tired of people telling me what to teach and how responsible we are for the welfare of children. I don't know a single teacher that does not promote social and emotional intelligence throughout the day. Parents are the ones who need to be educated on how to be good parents, teach their children good social values such as sharing, how to deal with conflict, etc. Demonstrating these in front of their children would also benefit them greatly.
I think this would be a good idea. There seems to be more and more young people suffering with depression and having self harming issues nowadays. Maybe some kind of happiness or positive thinking teaching would help.
This sounds like the sort of grounding that should form the basis of every child's upbringing, but it is not something that can be taught in lessons; it is something that should be innate within every family from the word go. What has happened to parental responsibility these days? Is it no longer 'convenient?' for the have-it-all, want-it-all-now generation?
I think this is a superb idea. Rather than being at the bottom of the cliff, finally something proactive, practical and positive that would be of use to all pupils. To have advice from people who have "been there" can be invaluable, and it is not always readily available from parents and the like.
However, "teaching happiness" is a total pipe dream. It is blatantly obvious that the ever growing divide between the rich and poor, the increasing number of people who struggle on a day to day basis, and the fact that this government only cares about it's friends in big business rather than trying to re-build and forge community in spirit have a major impact on children's personal lives, attitude towards society and happiness. Unfortunately, it will be another scheme to say "we care", when in fact that is the furthest from the truth.
Yet another social problem that teachers are expected to solve with no extra resources or training. One wonders if "experts" will look at some of these issues and realise that maybe the parents have some responsibility to educate their children. Still, it fills an empty news day reporting more meaningless studies that are a total waste of money.
We should be teaching children about the real world. I am a mortgage broker and have an 18 year old son. He has no idea about obtaining finance and what the implications are if you default on your loan or credit card. Kids need to be taught or guided in living a practical life and how people are all different and how we must come to understand, know and tolerate people in society.


I've been waiting for a quiet afternoon to crack open the cover of Hal Koerner's Field Guide to Ultrarunning: Training for an Ultramarathon From 50K to 100 Miles and Beyond. Just moments into the book, I was a little disappointed to discover that the Writer's Note at the beginning abruptly ended mid-sentence, but I chalked this up to a printing error–perhaps just a missing page, though, hmmm, I did notice two "xvi" pages following. Bummer. But putting that aside, Hal's book is a clear and consise read for someone who is contemplating their first ultra–or for anyone thinking about getting more serious on trails.
The encouraging, how-to tone of Hal Koerner's Field Guide to Ultrarunning, reminds me of Relentless Forward Progress. It contains training advice, such as dealing with technical issues, gear, hydration, increasing mileage, including topics such as advice for runners who don't live near trails and dealing with animals (and yikes! snakes) on trails. Hal offers valuable "Expert Tips" and discussion questions in shaded text boxs, such as tips about recovery drinks and even an answer to the burning question: Should I shave? When it comes to running with dogs, on and off leash, Hal hits the main points that make for lively running forum discussion and Facebook posts, and advises: "be sensitive." He talks about using pacers and preparing a crew to help you achieve your goals, race "DNF" disappointment and important topics like dealing with injuries, such as when to bag a race because of one. He dedicates many pages to race day, including preparation and day-of race advice. In the last Chapter, he gives the lowdown on training workouts, and includes a 50K, 50Miles to 100K, and 100 Miles plan.
For someone who is super excited about getting into ultrarunning, who has little off-pavement experience or has yet to run longer distances, this books seems like an incredibly helpful addition to the ol' running library. However, for someone with a bit of trail running or racing under her/his belt, and who is comfortable off-road, Hal Koerner's Field Guide to Ultrarunning may offer less in the way of fresh ideas–for example, topics like figuring out how to deal with chafing or going to the bathroom outside may be hardly new.
But regardless of whether you're seasoned or newly minted, run roads or trails, there's something pretty sweet about reading the advice and wisdom of one of the best ultrarunners (and one known for being the Happiest, too) packed into a book with a glossy and bright enticing cover.
Hal Koerner's Field Guide to Ultrarunning is a definite plus for a runner's book collection.

15 Things To Do in March
Editor's Note: This post may be outdated. Head to NewOrleans.com for the latest on what's open and how to safely enjoy New Orleans right now.
By Emily Ramirez Hernandez March 10, 2020

Wait! Don't stash your spirit of revelry in the attic just yet. March brings an end to the Mardi Gras festivities but also marks the start of spring festival season. From the BUKU Music + Art Project to Super Sunday, March in New Orleans is anything but dull. Below is our roundup of just some of the many local happenings and things to do that are sure to leave you filled with memorable times with family, friends, significant others, or even good, solo time with yourself.
Wiener Dog Racing at the Fairgrounds (Photo: Paul Broussard)
1. Cheer on some Weenies at the Fair Grounds
If you were expecting just horse racing at the track, you're in for a treat. The seventh annual Wiener Dog Racing competition takes place on March 7, 2020 at the New Orleans Fair Grounds. Each year, a collection of 40+ purebred dachshunds compete for cash prizes. Dogs are divided into four semi-final heats with twelve dogs each. The first, second, and third place wieners of each heat will then compete for the championship in the final race. Ever seen a bunch of wiener dogs run? It is sure to warm your heart. General admission is $6.50, with clubhouse admission at $11.50. Children twelve and younger are free.
2. Dine outdoors with an extra hour of sunlight
Daylights Savings Time is March 8, 2020, marking the unofficial start to spring and end of winter. Temperatures are glorious during March in New Orleans, so why not use that extra hour of sunlight to dine outdoors? Indulge in a happy hour or two, or seek out a balcony dining spot at one of the city's best restaurants. Bring your planners and start scheduling how you're gonna spend this jam-packed NOLA spring.

3. Slurp up a snowball
With spring right around the corner, seasonal snowball shops around town reopen their doors (or windows) after a hibernation lasting from November through February. Even though you can still find snowballs during the off-season, traditionalists enjoy saving these special treats for the warmer months. Locals are quite loyal to their favorite snowball stands, most of them part of the neighborhood fabric (like Hansen's and Plum Street Snowballs). Bring some cash to your favorite snowball stand and order one of the dozens of flavors. Popular flavors include strawberry and bubble gum, but more complex flavors are emerging (my current favorite is Pandora's praline cream with condensed milk).
4. Fill up on tacos at Top Taco
*Editor's Note: Top Taco has been postponed. Please check the event website for updates.
Top Taco returns for its fourth year celebrating its namesake, the taco. The festival takes place March 19, 2020 at Woldenberg Park, and admission includes unlimited sampling of tacos and signature cocktails from participating restaurants such as Baru, Central City BBQ, El Pavo Real, La Casita, and more. Top Taco will benefit The PLEASE Foundation, which provides mentoring, leadership training, and scholarships to at-risk New Orleans students.
5. Wear green for St. Patrick's Day
*Editor's Note: The St. Patrick's Day parade has been cancelled. Please check the event website for updates.
Just when you thought you would have to wait another year to revel at a parade, St. Patrick's Day festivities roll onto the scene. In New Orleans, the biggest celebrations are the weekend of March 13-15 and include block parties at Parasol's and Tracy's in the Irish Channel (March 14), as well as parades: catch throws like cabbage and Irish Spring soap at the Irish Channel parade (March 14 at 1 p.m.), or sip a frozen Irish coffee during the Molly's at the Market Irish Parade (March 13 at 6 p.m.). The Downtown Irish Club, a marching club, works its way from Markey's and Bud Rip's in the Bywater to the French Quarter starting at 6:30 p.m. on Friday, March 13.
6. Sip a good drink at the Bourbon Festival
*Editor's Note: The Bourbon festival has been postponed. Please check the event website for updates.
If you can appreciate a fine bourbon and are searching for a sophisticated evening out, the fourth annual New Orleans Bourbon Festival from March 11-14, 2020 is just up your alley. In addition to tastings in an environment reminiscent of a 1920s speakeasy, the festival offers a seminar component, with sessions on topics like Bourbon History, grand tastings, bourbon pairing dinners, a Trixie Minx burlesque show, and more.

7. Lose yourself at BUKU Music + Art Project
*Editor's Note: BUKU has been postponed. Please check the event website for updates.
Better known as BUKU, the BUKU Music + Art Project is a music festival with an underground/house party vibe. Dozens of musicians, particularly within the EDM, hip-hop, and indie rock genres, take to the stages on March 20 and 21 at Mardi Gras World. This year's lineup includes Tyler the Creator, Flume, Illenium, Glass Animals, Megan Thee Stallion, Charli XCX, and more. In addition to the music, the festival will host art exhibits and pop-up street performers.
8. Indulge in the New Orleans Wine & Food Experience
*Editor's Note: NOWFE has been postponed. Please check the event website for updates.
Every spring, the New Orleans Wine & Food Experience brings over 1,000 wines from around the world to one place. Enjoy grand tastings, promenade through the French Quarter, and take part in special dining events throughout the festival. Get schooled by wine professionals on their craft, party in style at the Tournament of Rosés, and enjoy a burlesque show and brunch to close out the fest. NOWFE takes place from March 18-22, 2020 in downtown New Orleans.
9. Celebrate the Super Sunday tradition
*Editor's Note: Super Sunday has been cancelled.
Feathered and sequined, "gangs" of Mardi Gras Indians will take to the streets on March 15 for their most important day of the year: Super Sunday. Mardi Gras Indians, a subculture of local Carnival traditions that emerged amidst racial tensions in the 1800s, today are a cherished part of the city's living heritage. The largest and most popular celebration, put on by the Mardi Gras Indian Council, takes place in Central City, beginning around noon at A.L. Davis Park on the corner of Washington Avenue and LaSalle Street. At Super Sunday, observe the intricate handmade suits that the Indians spend all year working on and dance to music in the street. As a sign of respect, only take photos of the Indians if they give you permission.
10. Get your fava bean at the St. Joseph's Day parade
*Editor's Note: The St. Joseph's Day parade has been cancelled. Please check the event website for updates.
According to legend, in the Middle Ages, Sicily was afflicted by a drought. Desperate, citizens prayed to St. Joseph, their patron saint, for rain. During this difficult time, the people were sustained by the fava bean, and, once the rains came and the drought ended, they promised to give thanks each year on the Feast of St. Joseph. That mythology and tradition traveled to New Orleans with Sicilian immigrants in the mid-1800s. Today's local celebrations of St. Joseph's Day come in the form of a parade as well as altars in Catholic churches and homes across the city (many open to the public). The annual parade, put on by the Italian-American St. Joseph's Society, begins at 6:00 p.m. on March 21, 2020 (though St. Joseph's Day is actually March 19) at the intersection of Convention Center Boulevard and Girod Street and winds through the French Quarter. Catch a kiss, if you want it, or a lucky fava bean, from a marching man in a tuxedo.
11. Indulge in Seafood during Lent
Ash Wednesday (February 26) is the start of Lent, the solemn period when Catholics divest themselves of excess. As part of Lenten observance, Catholics fast and abstain from meat on Ash Wednesday and Fridays, often opting for seafood. In New Orleans, this may or may not be considered a hardship because our seafood is seasoned to perfection and world-renowned. Either way, take the opportunity during March to eat out at one of the many local seafood establishments like Casamento's, Frankie and Johnny's, GW Fins, or Pêche. Alternatively, grab a fried shrimp or oyster po-boy at one of the many po-boy shops around town. Or, get real casual and enjoy a platter of crawfish (do as the locals do and suck the heads) at a neighborhood bar like Markey's or Mid City Yacht Club. The Lenten season continues all throughout March.
12. Celebrate dance in New Orleans
*Editor's Note: These performances have been postponed. Please check the event websites for updates.
March in New Orleans is prime time for ballet in the city. The New Orleans Ballet Theater returns for the spring season with Spring Collection, an evening of contemporary and Neo-classical works by award-winning local and international choreographers (March 27-28 at Le Petit Theatre). The New Orleans Ballet Association welcomes Houston Ballet, returning to New Orleans for the first time in over a decade, with a performance that spotlights the company's legacy (March 28 at Mahalia Jackson Theater). Marigny Opera Ballet's Follies of 1915 returns following a sold-out performance in 2018 (March 27 at Marigny Opera House).
13. Attend the Tennessee Williams Festival
*Editor's Note: Tennessee Williams Festival has been cancelled. Please check the event website for updates.
The annual Tennessee Williams Literary Festival, now in its 34th year, is scheduled for March 25-29, 2020. A celebration of the life and works of playwright Tennessee Williams, best known for his play A Streetcar Named Desire, the 2020 festival will includes writer's craft sessions, panel discussions, celebrity interviews, theater, food, and music events, walking tours, a book fair, and more.

14. Eat up at Hogs for the Cause
*Editor's Note: Hogs for the Cause has been cancelled. Please check the event website for updates.
Meat-lovers, look no further than the annual Hogs for the Cause to indulge your cravings. A festival designed to raise money to support families of children with brain cancer, Hogs has quickly become a local favorite. Scheduled for March 27-28, the festival is centered around a friendly competition among barbecue chefs. Each year, 85 local and regional barbecue chefs, professional and not, compete in seven categories: Whole Hog, Ribs, Pork Butt/Shoulder, Porkpourri, Sauce, Fan Favorite, and Fundraising Champion. The barbecue is complimented by local beer and live music. In the fiscal year of 2019 alone, the Hogs team has been able to distribute grants and made charitable contributions of nearly one million dollars, reaching families from 41 out of 50 states.
15. Marvel at local church architecture
Religious or not, Lent is a perfect time to visit some of New Orleans' historic churches and other religious buildings. Due to its French and Spanish (and then French again) colonial past, New Orleans was and still is a very Catholic city. As neighborhoods around the city developed and expanded, churches were built to serve the Catholic populations of those areas. Many churches, like Immaculate Conception, St. Augustine, and Holy Name of Jesus are still active places of worship. However, as the composition of neighborhoods has changed, some churches have inevitably fallen out of use religiously but have been restored for other purposes. The Marigny Opera House and Felicity Church are two such examples.

BrightGuy > Flashlight Buying Guide | Bright Topics
BrightGuy offers an array of flashlights – from camping lanterns to tactical flashlights that law enforcement personnel rely on daily. Buy flashlights that are well suited to your needs.
Choosing the right light?
How is light output measured?
Candlepower vs Lumens: Can I convert candlepower to lumens?
What is an LED?
What is an HID?
What is a hazardous location?
How can I find safety-rated flashlights?
Choosing the Right Light
Flashlight choice depends on intended use. Typically, there is no single flashlight that works well in all situations. Consider your application, then ask yourself the questions below. Keep in mind, if you are confused by all of the choices and need some help, please don't hesitate to call us at 888-881-1908 (toll free within continental US) or 440-942-8318, Monday-Friday, 8am-5pm ET. You can also send your questions to us via email at info@brightguy.com or contact us through this website.
Do I need a light for close-up or long range?
In general, flashlights with smooth deep reflectors are best for distance. Flashlights with larger heads – wider and deeper – will, in most cases, project a beam further. As an example, you can look at the Streamlight Stinger DS HPL. You will notice that it has a wide head with a very deep reflector; which makes the Stinger DS HPL one of the best distance performers. A smooth, deep reflector concentrates the light into a bright far-reaching beam. Flashlights with textured reflectors give a smoother beam; but generally speaking, will not shine quite as far as flashlights with smooth reflectors. The Streamlight Waypoint Rechargeable Spotlight is also an excellent distance performer.
What features do I prefer?
You can easily search the BrightGuy website by product feature. Just use the navigation menu on the left side of the page to find products with your preferred body material, battery type, beam range, lumen output, key characteristics, switch style, light output color, etc.
How long of a run time do I need?
The BrightGuy website lists the run time of each flashlight. Just be sure to "click through" to the product detail page for the flashlight you've selected and click on the "Specifications" tab.
In an effort to standardize performance measurement, the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) with input from various flashlight manufacturers, developed performance standards and symbols to effectively measure and communicate a flashlight's features and benefits including brightness, runtime, beam distance, peak beam intensity, protection against water penetration and impact resistance. Streamlight, Pelican, Energizer, Maglite, Nite Ize (Inova), Fenix, Bayco and Petzl are now rating their new models using the ANSI Standards. This will make is easier to compare flashlights across these brands.
All light measurements can be traced back to the Candela, which is the unit of luminous intensity. The Candela is also sometimes called candlepower, and is similar to an older unit, the candle, which was based upon an actual candle of specified dimensions and construction.
There are two basic methods used by various flashlight manufacturers to rate the light output of their products.
Total Luminous Output
Total Luminous Output may be expressed in candela or in lumens. This is a measure of the entire light output of the flashlight regardless of beam focus. It is almost solely a function of the lamp, and for practical purposes is equal to the lamp output which lamp manufacturers rate in Mean Spherical Candela (Sometimes called Mean Spherical Candlepower which is not the same as peak beam candlepower), or in lumens. Multiply candela by 12.57 to convert to lumens. For example, the 20 watt lamp used in the SL-35X is rated at 450 lumens or 35.8 Mean Spherical Candela.
Peak Beam Candlepower
Peak Beam Candlepower is a measure of the brightest spot in the focused beam. It is a function of both the output of the lamp and the efficiency of the reflector. The focused spot of light has the same intensity that a bare source of unfocused light of the same candlepower would produce on the same area from the same distance. For example, a flashlight of 20,000 beam candlepower would project, within its "hot spot," the same amount of light on a wall as would a bare lamp of 20,000 candela at the same distance. Typical values of beam candlepower will run into the tens of thousands for powerful rechargeable flashlights.
Since the Total Output system does not take into account the focusing efficiency of the reflector, there is no way to convert between peak beam candlepower and lumens.
Additionally, all light rating systems depend on the perception of the human eye and are therefore subjective. Another important factor besides absolute intensity is the whiteness (technically the Color Temperature) of the light source. If two equally intense light sources differ in color temperature, the eye will perceive the whiter source (higher color temperature) to be brighter than the more yellow one. Color temperature is expressed in degrees on the Kelvin scale. A very white flashlight lamp will be rated around 3200 K.*
*Streamlight, "Information about how the brightness of a light (luminosity) is measured.", http://www.streamlight.com/releases/light_measurement.htm (accessed January 25, 2005).
Peak beam candlepower is the measure of the brightest spot in the beam and is a function of both the output of the lamp and the efficiency of the reflector. As a result, peak beam candlepower is a subjective measurement, and different flashlight manufacturers measure it differently. Therefore, comparing peak beam candlepower ratings of flashlights from various manufacturers will not give an accurate comparison of brightness.
On the other hand, lumens can be used when comparing brightness because it is a measurement of the entire light output regardless of beam focus.
Since peak beam candlepower is a measure of the reflected light, there is no way to convert peak beam candlepower into lumens.
The BrightGuy website shows light output in peak beam candlepower (referred to as candlepower or CP) and/or lumens. This information comes directly from the manufacturers.
If you haven't seen an LED flashlight lately, well, you haven't seen an LED flashlight! LEDs have really come a long way; and now, the performance of many LED flashlights exceeds that of incandescent flashlights using Xenon or Krypton bulbs. Most LEDs give off a very white light which makes the light from a Xenon or Krypton bulb look yellow. So, generally speaking, LED light appears brighter to the eye. What's more, many LED flashlights have deep reflectors which concentrate the light into a tightly focused beam that will shine for long distances – as far as if not further than a flashlight using a Xenon or Krypton bulb. Keep in mind, though, that most flashlights with multiple LEDs that don't use a reflector or have special optics are best for area light and won't give you a concentrated beam. Also, the color temperature of LEDs does vary from flashlight to flashlight; and the light can have a slight blue or green tint.
Searching for LED Flashlights – To search for LED flashlights, just use the green navigation bar on the left side of the page and click on the "Advanced Search" button. From the Advanced Search Page, under Keyword Search, select "LED" and use the other categories to narrow your search.
HID or "High Intensity Discharge" is a type of bulb. Unlike a standard bulb that uses a glowing filament of tungsten for the light source, HID light is emitted from a very small glowing ball of ionized gas. As a result, you will get 3 times as much light from a set of batteries and the light output will be much whiter – closer to sunlight. An additional advantages of HID is increased bulb life – HID bulb life is up to 20 times longer than halogen or xenon.
Hazardous locations are areas where fire or explosion hazards may exist due to the presence of ignitable concentrations of flammable gases, liquids, vapors, dusts or ignitable fibers or flyings. These locations are grouped according to the properties of the flammable materials that may be present and the likelihood of flammable concentrations.
The National Electric Code (NEC) defines hazardous locations by "class" and "division."
There are three classes of hazardous locations:
Class 1 locations are made hazardous by the presence of flammable gases, liquids or vapors.
Class 2 locations are described as hazardous because of the presence of combustible dusts.
Class 3 locations contain easily ignitable fibers or flyings.
"Division" refers to the likelihood that ignitable concentrations of flammable materials are present.
Division 1 designates an environment where ignitable concentrations of flammable gases, liquids, vapors or dusts can exist some of the time or all of the time under normal operationg conditions or where easily ignitable fibers and flyings are manufactured, handled or used.
Divison 2 locations are areas where ignitable concentrations are not likely to exist under normal operating conditions or where Class 3 materials are stored or handled.
It's easy to find safety-rated flashlights on the BrightGuy website. Just click on the Flashlights link in the gray navigation bar at the top of this page, then click on "Safety Rating" in the left hand navigation under "Filters". Click here for Intrinsically Safe Lights.

Disc jockey Robert (David Beames) may be investigating the mysterious death of his brother, but his attention to detail is foggy at best -- much like the surrounding English gray winter. Robert claims to be tracking clues but seems more interested in music than the blatantly obvious clues right in front of him. Director Christopher Petit's grim tale of a man disconnecting with society features music from '80s icons such as David Bowie and Devo.

There's a guy in the German embassy trying to travel on every London bus route before he leaves town
Don't worry, he's done these two. Image: Getty.
What would you do, if you found yourself posted to strange cities for years at a time? How would you get to know them? How would you explore?
You could visit all the famous bits, but that probably wouldn't take you very long. You could work your way through the various cultural treasures listed in the guidebooks, and thus get a view of the city unrecognisable to anyone who actually lived there.
Or, then again, you could travel on every bus route in the city's transport network, in rough numerical order. That's also a thing you could do.
It is, as it happens, a thing that the head of press at the German Embassy in London has been doing since he got here four years ago. "I've just got to number 155, and there are 499 in all," Dr Norman Walter tells me when I phone up to ask him about this hobby of his. "I've also done a few others, like the 452, which run near where I live. But I'm not sure I'll make it before I get back," he adds, with the wry understatement of someone who is quite sure that he won't.
And then, just in case you thought we were dealing with an amateur here, he starts enthusing about route 465, which runs from Kingston to Dorking, "the farthest point you can get on your Oyster card".
Route 465: the queen of Surrey.
CityMetric has love in its heart for anyone who enjoys a good bit of urban transport geekery, and Dr Walter very kindly took a few minutes out from a Brexit-packed schedule to talk buses. Here's an edited transcript of our conversation.
Jonn Elledge: So, er: why do you spend your time doing this?
Norman Walter: It's an idiosyncrasy, I guess. Some people collect stamps; for me, it's this. My wife thinks it's completely crazy, but she's been married to me long enough that she's used to it.
I did in several cities where I was posted before, but in London it's simply unique. I love to go up to the upper deck, just to go through the streets and "be there", you know. I did the underground first – but as the name says, you don't see that much. Buses are the best way to discover the city.
JE: Which other cities have you explored by bus?
NW: I did some in Belgrade, but that was 30 years ago. I did Bucharest, but didn't get very far. I did Vilnius – and in Moscow, I did a fifth or so of all the bus lines.
But in London it's actually a real pleasure to do it – the upper deck's a real incentive, it gives you the feel of the city.
JE: How does London's bus network compare to those of other cities? It has more routes to cover, right?
Certainly that's the case, though Moscow has more underground lines. But the [London] bus lines are quite well organised, I would say. You mostly have at least two or three bus routes which run parallel for a while and then diverge, like the 19 and the 38. So if you just have a short trip, you can take either one of them, and you have a bus every three or four minutes.
JE: It must be getting harder though – most of the suburban routes don't run that frequently.
NW: Yes, I was rather quick in the first 100 or so, but the farther out I go the longer it takes. When I took the 468 to Croydon, I took the tram and then the underground back, so it can take several hours.
Normally I have to get up rather early, so on a Saturday morning I'd do two or three – but I've been rather lazy the last couple of weeks.
JE: I heard you'd had some difficulty locating route 5.
NW: Yes, it took me at least a year to make sure there is no number 5. There's a night bus, but-
JE: But there is a route 5 – Canning Town to Romford. It's the suburban route with the lowest number.
NW: That's amazing! There's an N5 that goes up to High Barnet, so I looked for a number 5 around Holloway, but I couldn't find one, so I assumed it didn't exist.
Route 5: nowhere near Holloway, or route N5 come to that.
JE: Do you have a favourite route?
I like the buses which come every three minutes – the one I really like is the number 38. It runs near our embassy [in Belgravia], and when I go to Piccadilly I can always catch one of them. It's also one of the Boris buses, which has a conductor and where the rear door is open – I like that very much.
Route 38: simply the best.
When I first saw the 38, I noticed that it normally goes to Hackney Central, but some go on to Clapton Pond. So I thought, there can't be a pond there, can there? So I went to check, and I found out that there was! It's still a sweet memory.
JE: When do you finish your posting?
Probably next year, I've around 300 more days. I'm glad the foreign office gave me an extension – certainly, the only reason they did that is to help me complete the bus lines.
JE: And will you keep exploring by bus wherever you end up next?
I'd love to, but it always depends – I might end up in a small town in Africa, where there aren't too many buses and it's too hot.
Or there's a risk I'll get called back to HQ in Berlin. But perhaps I could start there, too – they only moved the capital to Berlin 15 years ago.

How much does your self depend on others?
To what extent is the bubble surrounding you shaping who you are?
Is the self "personal" and "unique" despite its constructed nature?
How well does the virtual extension of the self correspond to our non-virtual self? How virtual is our non-virtual self?
This project is an interdisciplinary art exhibition & conference devoted to the problem of Bubbles and the illusory yet tangible phenomena of self-identity. We intend to merge the borders between philosophy, social psychology, neuroscience, and aesthetics, converging on multiple art disciplines. The project Bubbles explores the building up of the social and personal identity, as a constitutive process in living beings, as a process of demarcation and delimitation across groups, as a blurred and flittering complex phenomenon. Identities and the self, yet historically, culturally and socially determined, can be conceived as unstable, emerging and constantly changing, as physically instantiated processes. In virtual space, we blend the features of our identity into an ostensible coherent matter. But what is coherence?
Borders relates to the edges, delimitations, and demarcations. The borders establish the limits of what is inside (of a subject or society) and outside (of a subject or society). The constitutive process of identity is basically the distinction between the self and the other. Borders are permeable surfaces that bind the inside with the outside, and the self with other selves; they build up separations that lead to connection and isolation.
Extension refers to modern technological developments allowing the outsourcing of mental functions. Social networks offer the possibility to be (to exhibit our self and be seen by others) and interact with others in new ways, enabling the extension (and existence) of our self into the virtual world. How well does the virtual extension of the self correspond to our non-virtual self? How virtual is our non-virtual self?
The gallery is a cooperative directing model between the Faculty of Art and Culture Berlin-Mitte and the Kunstverein Tiergarten e. V.
In cooperation with Berlin District Office of Mitte, Department of Arts and Culture. Kindly supported by exhibition funds of the Senate Administration for Culture and Europe.

Q: g++ 4.2: internal compiler error: in make_thunk, at cp/method.c:129 I asked this question already on http://www.cplusplus.com/forum/general/96128/ but to no avail.
does anybody experienced the same bug with g++ 4.2: internal compiler error: in make_thunk, at cp/method.c:129
I think it is not neccessary to include sample code. The respective code compiles without warnings and errors on several other newer g++ versions, as well as on clang++. It is simply correct and the bug was mentioned in the GCC's bugzilla (even several times, because it seems to recurr often), but no workaround was provided.
Please don't tell also to use a newer g++. I MUST compile it on the g++ shipped with Ubuntu Hardy, so I cannot change the compiler. Main development is done on Ubuntu Precise, but I need to keep it compatible to Hardy.
I have no idea what a thunk should be, I only suspect it has to do with covariants and/or multiple inheritance. Also I have several more similar structured header files, which all compile well, despite the only change is the name is the name of the class and I have no aim, to change that because of a compiler bug on Hardy.
Another fact is, it happens at include time.

RESOLVED!
After digging in g++ 4.2's source code I found out that it needs to now about all types in the complete tree. g++ > 4.2 apparently doesn't need this.
So, the error was in a related class which had a template member with a forwarded specialization. I just included the header instead of forwarding and g++ 4.2 was happy.
Otherwise it is really a non-nice bug not to give an error, but this useless message.

A: A thunk or trampoline is a piece of code that is added in some implementations of dynamic dispatch to adapt the interface of the base virtual function with respect to the final overrider being used. As you mentioned it is commonly needed to adapt the this pointer in multiple/virtual inheritance (for bases listed after the first non-empty one) and to adapt the resulting pointer/reference with covariant return types.
The error indicates that it is a compiler bug. If you have to use that particular compiler you will need to work around the issue, and that will involve changing your design. You can try to limit the use of multiple/virtual inheritance, reorder the bases in the list or try to play around until you manage to get the compiler to digest that code somehow. If it is a problem when generating the adapter for a covariant return type, consider removing the covariant return and provide an overload (with a different name) that will return the covariant type (i.e. replace covariant return with a non-virtual function returning the most derived type and a virtual function that calls the previous and returns a reference to the base).
Other than those generic hints, without seeing the code you have and the implementation of the compiler there is little else to say.

The spot is located in the Barlavento region of Algarve, in Portugal. Along the Atlantic ocean and at the mouth of Bensafrim River. It's a place where you can find historical buildings from 14th to 16th century, such as the famous Lagos 'golden church' of St. Anthony. On the opposite side of this treasure, there is the 'Slave Market', where the slaves brought back to be sold from the discovery voyages. The St. Sebastian church is on a hill and the view from up there is amazing. The old part of the city is circled by the walls, that were constructed during the 16th century.
The status of prince Henry in the Praça Infante Dom Henrique, looking at the sea. So follow the glance of the prince and take your wake-board, because it's your turn to be the prince of the sea. Dance with the waves and follow them, right and left. It's not a break dance, but a beach-break and sloppy type of dance. The swell size, starts working at 1-1.5 m / 3-5 ft and holds up to 2 m+ / 6 ft+.
The north, northwest and northeast direction is the best for the wind. For the swell the south and southeast direction is the best. In spring, the waves swell size is from 0.5-2 m (1.5-6.5 ft) and the wind blows onshore at 7%. In summer, the wave swell size is >1.5 ft (>0.5 m) but in good days, the swell size is from 0.5 to 1.3 m (1.5-4 ft) and the wind blows onshore at 2%. In autumn, we have the same waves swell size and the wind blows onshore at 4%. In winter, the waves swell size is 2-3 m (6.5-10 ft) and the wind blows onshore at 6%.
There are wake-board schools at your disposal, in case you need an expert to guide you in the magic trip of wake-boarding. In Lagos, there are accommodation options and other activities, that you can do when you don't overpower the waves.


The Tsambo family have today released details of the burial of the late Hip Hop Pantsula.
HHP was found dead at his home in Randpark Ridge, Johannesburg on Wednesday. The 38-year old will be buried next Saturday, in his hometown of Mafikeng.
The family said the time and venue of the service will be confirmed in the upcoming days.
Meanwhile, a memorial service will be held at the Newtown Music Factory (former Baseline) on Tuesday between 12pm and 5pm.
The MC's North West fans will get a chance to pay tribute to him at a second memorial service, which will take place at the Mmabatho Convention Centre in Mahikeng on Thursday. The service will also run from 12pm to 5pm.
The family also thanked South Africans for their support following the musician's passing.
"The Tsambo family would like to extend their sincerest gratitude for all the messages of condolences and for all the love and support received during this difficult time. Jabulani has left an unforgettable mark in the lives of millions of people who have had the privilege and honour of knowing him personally and through his craft," the statement read.
HHP who in the past has spoken openly about his depression, was found dead in his bedroom in a suspected suicide.
He had previously spoken about making attempts to end his life on several occasions in 2015. In addition to his parents and family, HHP left behind his wife Lerato Sengadi and their son.
Sengadi this week paid tribute to her husband with lyrics from his song, Harambe.

Video: China Increases Its Involvement in the Syrian War
Par South Front
South Front 23 août 2016
Région : Asia, Middle East & North Africa
Thème: US NATO War Agenda
Analyses: SYRIA
Last week Director of the Office for International Military Cooperation of China's Central Military Commission, Guan Youfei arrived in Damascus for talks with Syrian Defense Minister Fahad Jassim al-Freij and other officials of the Damascus government. Guan announced that Beijing and Damascus had come to an agreement that the Chinese military will provide humanitarian aid to Syria and discussed a possibility of involvement of Chinese military servicemen in training of the Syrian army personnel and other operations to ensure security in the Arab country.
Xinhua has not provided details about the agreed Chinese humanitarian aid mission in Syria. Furthermore, there are constant rumors that Chinese military advisers already operate in Syria, observing Damascus' anti-terrorism efforts. However, there is no clear evidence that China has been involved into the conflict.
Guan also met in Syria with an unknown Russian general during his visit to Damascus. It's important to note that Guan's visit came just before crucial military developments in and around Syria like a deployment of Russian aircraft at the Hamedan Air Base in Iran and the escalation between the US-backed Kurdish forces and pro-government militias in eastern Syria.
The spate of Moscow's military actions in the region could push Beijing to follow its partner to set the ground for gaining diplomatic and financial revenue before the Syrian conflict turned into its final stage. Almost all experts consider the ongoing battle for Aleppo as a turning point in this war. And if Damascus wins, the US-backed "moderates" such a Jabhat Fateh al-Sham & Co will have minor chances to play a significant role the Syrian future. The further rapprochement of Iran, China, Russia and now maybe Turkey over the Syrian conflict pushes the United States represented by the Obama administration to urgently develop its strategy in order to defend its claim to be the main powerbroker in the region. An indirect fueling of the conflict between Damascus and US-backed Kurdish forces in Hasakah and de-facto split of Kurdish-controlled areas from Syria with a significant presence of US military personnel there is one of Washington's options in the current geopolitical situation. And the direct public warnings to Russia and Syria by a US commander of American troops in Iraq and Syria, Lt. Gen. Stephen Townsend, that the US military contingent in occupied parts of eastern Syria will defend itself clearly showed the direction of Washington's divide and corner strategy for the war-torn country.
An interesting fact is that some Chinese state-linked media and experts, which closely follow the Russian operations in Syria, describe Moscow's strategy towards the Syrian conflict as too moderate. According to them, the partial withdrawn of the air grouping, various humanitarian ceasefire agreements across the country and attempts to solve the conflict through a political dialogue before the full military defeat of the militant factions that operate in the country were premature. In this case, Beijing may contribute to strengthening of further military efforts aimed to solve the terrorism problem in Syria.

Ipanema Beach is located in the city of Ipanema. The 2 kilometers of soft white sand stretch along the beach and the surf is known for being very strong. Ipanema's contribution to history is famous: Ipanema is home of the men's skimpy tanga bikini and the "dental floss" bikini for women. But it was the 1962 bossa nova classic "Girl from Ipanema," that pushed the beach into the world spotlight. The first thing you do when you arrive at Ipanema is to rent one of the red or yellow beach chair and umbrella; then grab a beer. During the day, numerous craftsmen are in the area selling their wares and at night the area comes alive with the people visiting the bars and restaurants in the . As the sun sets, everyone participates in clapping in appreciation of dramatic ending of another beautiful day because as actor and director Carlos Leonam once said,"This afternoon deserves a round of applause". Family vacations in Ipanema are the dream of a lifetime.


An often heard refrain is that Developers should be paying for infrastructure provision.
The reality is that Developers are paying.
There is an example, the Hayfield Precinct in Hingaia, Papakura.
The Hayfield Precinct will provide 1546 new households and each will pay a development contribution in accordance with Auckland Council's Development Contribution Policy, which can be found on their website at (http://temp.aucklandcouncil.govt.nz/EN/ratesbuildingproperty/developmentfinancialcontributions/Pages/home.aspx), plus a contribution to Watercare plus a contribution to the Power Supply plus a contribution to the Telecommunications. Supplying Gas is optional and often excluded. All plus GST.
Multiply the $34,078 by the 1546 new households in the Hayfield Precinct gives a Development Contribution of $54,684,588.00 to be paid by the Developers.
Equals a Grand Total of $60,587,276.20 to be paid.
The question is what is being done with the $60.5 million?
