We're feeling a little queasy here at UnBeige headquarters, having spent much of the day chasing down Nutella-smeared baguettes and flaky delicacies from nearby Payard with too many flutes of Moët & Chandon. And so, while we retire to our Pierre Paulin-designed Mushroom chairs to enjoy a screening of Le Ballon Rouge, we offer you Paul Tedeschi's charming tribute to a wiser choice of festive beverages on this Bastille Day: Orangina. "Back in the stone age of web-based animation, oh, maybe five years ago, I put this together to entertain my clients at Snapple," noted Tedeschi last fall when posting the below video to YouTube. "I set it to the Canadian nation anthem because, frankly, the French one isn't all that funny." For further proof of Tedeschi's anthemic assertion, we point you to Jean Renoir's 1938 film La Marseillaise, which only becomes funny after the aforementioned quantity of champagne. A votre santé!

mansards
noun Plural form of mansard.
They could look over the treetops to the buildings on Fifth Avenue, the unbroken taupe facade, and then to the mansards and temple-tops at the western edge of the park, and Klara imagined the whistling doormen, the taxis hotfooting past—she loved the showy yellow coats of New York cabs.
On the side facing the street it's much more normal, except I slipped a few mansards down, so that coming on the point, these housing units made a gesture to the corner.

It seems that everyone is saying, "The camels are coming, the camels are coming". I got excited about the camels coming because I understood the camels meant prosperity in one form or another (but hoping for material goods). I also heard about the "great transfer of wealth" was coming. Yes, I accept that, from "somewhere out there" to my bank account.
In my pondering I ask myself, "what will that look like?" At first all I could envision were bills paid, new tires on the car, money to give to missions and the church, and a well-deserved vacation; maybe even a mission trip. Wouldn't that be wonderful.
Since I know that all God's promises are conditional I decided to find out what those conditions are.
As a business person, I structured my search with a SOP (standard operating procedures).
Paul goes on to list the gifts of the Spirit in 1 Cor. 12 so that we would not be ignorant (unskilled) in their uses. Verse 10. , "to another the working of miracles, to another prophecy, to another discerning of spirits, to another different kinds of tongues, to another the interpretation of tongues".
So one aspect of the camels coming is to give me the resources, so that I may "destroy the works of the devil". When I unload my camel I will not have preconceived ideas of what is on the camel. If I do I may be disappointed. I know Father will give exactly what I need to carry out my mission without encumbering me with "neat" but useless stuff. I take the writer of Hebrews counsel in chapter 12:1, "Therefore we also, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which so easily ensnares us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith………".
As a side note, the camels have always been passing by, but due to the seasons in my life, my spiritual eyes have not been able to "see" them. In some areas of my life I have not been fulfilling the conditions which would allow me to "see" the camels.
Here are the "conditions" in my life that will bring about the fulfillment of His promise of the camels.
First, I am content that what I am currently doing is what the Father asks me to do. I am doing it with His blessing. Therefore, "And whatever you do, do it heartily, as to the Lord and not to men,"(Col.3:23).
Verses 6, 7 "And when you pray, do not use vain repetitions as the heathen [do]. For they think that they will be heard for their many words. Therefore do not be like them. For your Father knows the things you have need of before you ask Him".
Verses 16-18 "Moreover, when you fast, do not be like the hypocrites, with a sad countenance. For they disfigure their faces that they may appear to men to be fasting. Assuredly, I say to you, they have their reward. But you, when you fast, anoint your head and wash your face, so that you do not appear to men to be fasting, but to your Father who [is] in the secret [place]; and your Father who sees in secret will reward you openly".
Verse 24 "No one can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or else he will be loyal to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon".
Verse 25"Therefore I say to you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink; nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food and the body more than clothing?
Verse 31, 32 "Therefore do not worry, saying, 'What shall we eat?' or 'What shall we drink?' or 'What shall we wear? For after all these things the Gentiles seek. For your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things.
The key to chapter 6 is in verse 33, "But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you".
The answer or condition is in verse 24, "He that hath clean hands, and a pure heart; who hath not lifted up his soul unto vanity, nor sworn deceitfully".
Finally, The apostle Paul spoke forth his heart's cry for God's people in Romans 12: 1,2 "Therefore I urge you, brethren, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies a living and holy sacrifice, acceptable to God, which is your spiritual service of worship. And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may prove what the will of God is, that which is good and acceptable and perfect".
I'll take leave of you all and go to the barn to get some hay and water for the camels.

Nanocellulose Sensor EQ65
Flexible, biocompatible nanocellulose sensors
Wood on our Skin
Oct 8, 2019 | ANDREA SIX
Physiological parameters can be determined directly on the skin. Empa researchers are currently working with a Canadian team to develop flexible, biocompatible nanocellulose sensors that can be attached to the skin. The 3D-printed analytic chips made of renewable raw materials will even be biodegradable in future.
Empa researcher Gilberto Siqueira demonstrates the newly printed nanocellulose circuit. After a subsequent drying, the material can be further processed. Image: Empa
The idea of measuring parameters that are relevant for our health via the skin has already taken hold in medical diagnostics. Diabetics, for example, can determine their blood sugar level with a sensor instead of having to prick their fingers. Empa researchers, together with scientists from Canada, have now produced a novel flexible sensor that lies on the skin surface and is biocompatible because it is made of nanocellulose to detect ion concentrations within sweat, blood or urin.
A transparent foil made of wood
Nanocellulose is an inexpensive, renewable raw material, which can be obtained in form of crystals and fibers, for example from wood. However, the original appearance of a tree no longer has anything to do with the gelatinous substance, which can consist of cellulose nanocrystals and cellulose nanofibers. Other sources of the material are bacteria, algae or residues from agricultural production. Thus, nanocellulose is not only relatively easy and sustainable to obtain. Its mechanical properties also make the "super pudding" an interesting product. For instance, new composite materials based on nanocellulose can be developed that could be used as surface coatings, transparent packaging films or even to produce everyday objects like beverage bottles.
Researchers at Empa's Cellulose & Wood Materials lab and Woo Soo Kim from the Simon Fraser University in Burnaby, Canada, are also focusing on another feature of nanocellulose: biocompatibility. Since the material is obtained from natural resources, it is particularly suitable for biomedical research.
With the aim of producing biocompatible sensors that can measure important metabolic values, the researchers used nanocellulose as an "ink" in 3D printing processes. To make the sensors electrically conductive, the ink was mixed with silver nanowires. The researchers determined the exact ratio of nanocellulose and silver threads so that a three-dimensional network could form.
Using a 3D printer, the nanocellulose "ink" is applied to a carrier plate. Silver particles provide the electrical conductivity of the material. Image: Empa
Just like spaghetti – only a wee bit smaller
It turned out that cellulose nanofibers are better suited than cellulose nanocrystals to produce a cross-linked matrix with the tiny silver wires. "Cellulose nanofibers are flexible similar to cooked spaghetti, but with a diameter of only about 20 nanometers and a length of just a few micrometers," explains Empa researcher Gilberto Siqueira.
The team finally succeeded in developing sensors that measure medically relevant metabolic parameters such as the concentration of calcium, potassium and ammonium ions. The electrochemical skin sensor sends its results wirelessly to a computer for further data processing. The tiny biochemistry lab on the skin is only half a millimeter thin.
While the tiny biochemistry lab on the skin – which is only half a millimeter thin – is capable of determining ion concentrations specifically and reliably, the researchers are already working on an updated version. "In the future, we want to replace the silver particles with another conductive material, for example on the basis of carbon compounds," Siqueira explains. This would make the medical nanocellulose sensor not only biocompatible, but also completely biodegradable.

Prevent excessive scarring
Scars: gone with the foam
Poorly healing wounds and severe scarring are more than just a cosmetic problem; they can significantly impair a person's mobility and health. Empa researchers have now developed a foam that is supposed to prevent excessive scarring and help wounds to heal quickly. An essential ingredient: the yellow ginger tumeric. More.
Old electric car batteries
Ready to recycle?
The number of registrations of electric cars is rising sharply. But where to put old batteries? The association of Swiss car importers, "auto-schweiz", is striving for a recycling solution for the entire industry. Empa experts support it. More.
Fight against biofilms
The most successful flat share in the world
Biofilms are enormously resistant accumulations of germs, which can cause serious problems, especially in hospitals. Like a single large creature, they can spread within wounds or colonize implants or biomedical products. With novel materials and surfaces researchers intend to combat the sturdy pathogens. More.

On March 21st 2011, St-Paul's Cathedral in London hosted a conference on the misunderstanding of Buddhism in the West. Its keynote speakers, Professors Stephen Batchelor and John Peacock, both explored how the word Buddhism itself had become since the 19th century misinterpreted as a religion in terms very similar to Christianity. They both argued that Buddhism inherently and historically cannot be understood and in fact loses much of its core dynamisms when it is interpreted as a religion. Click here to access the summary.

Ormus, Iridescence, Metallic Glass, Anti-Gravity, and More!
by Humanna Gold
The Phenomenon of Iridescence
Riki & Dave have been working with ormus materials for 12 years. They make products the reader can try out for themselves. They have found some very important peculiarities as they continued to research materials. One peculiarity they found and studied a couple of years ago is the phenomenon of iridescence.
Iridescence is seen in insects and birds, and iridescent materials appear to have anti-gravitational properties. You can find more information on this topic by researching Victor Grebennikov, an entomologist in Russia who did a lot of studies.
Grebennikov found that insects that mathematically had wings too small to fly nonetheless could fly. The insect extracts the ormic materials from the environment and lines the inside of its exoskeleton. When the insect beats its wings, they become the resonant frequency that activates the levitation properties of the ormic material. In the case of ormus iridium, for example, this causes the insect to lose 4/9ths of its body weight
Ormus is a 5th State of Matter
Ormus materials are actually a 5th state of matter for any element of the periodic table that is inert. It is the completely, chemically non-reactive of elements of the periodic table. Inert gases -- neon, zeon, krypton, etc. -- are naturally in this condition, where they do not react chemically with anything.
What appears to be the purpose of these materials for living matter is that they are the facilitators of our internal messaging system -- that's our neural, inter-cellular communication systems and our inter-bacterial communication systems. Because they are not chemically combinable, they are the facilitators that allow the internal messaging systems to function. This is true of plants, animals and people.
Metallic Glass
Metallic Glass Macro Beatrice Murch
This additional focus on iridescent behavior part has added a curious new aspect to Dave & Riki's study of ormus materials. They began researching this about 3 years ago at an antique show in Ohio when we accidentally discovered a book called Metallic Glass. When David Hudson was researching metallic glass, they extracted ormus materials, heated it up to about 1800 degrees to anneal it, then cooled it extremely rapidly. Instead of congealing into a powder it congealed into a rose-colored crystal stone.
The crystal stone sat around the lab for a few years, and somebody who had studied Chartres cathedral extensively thought this looked familiar. He took it to France and what they found was that this crystal, (which was actually condensed ormus that was rhodium, I believe) perfectly matched one of the windows in Chartres cathedral. The colors of these windows in Chartres had been regarded as healing light. They were made by the Knights Templar in around the year 1000 AD. David Hudson's group believe that a lot of these windows were ormic glass that they were producing in some similar method.
Metallic glass is a process invented in 1961 in Ohio. The guy heated up gold and silica until they fused and then he super-cooled it. What he ended up with was a material that had some iridescence to it. And it had different behavioral properties than gold. So this continued for a little while, and in 1976 there was a conference in Ohio. The purpose was to bring everyone up to date on what had been done with the exploration of metallic glass to that point. (The book with all the compiled results was printed in 1978. You might be able to find it on the internet.) What he found was that one of the properties of metallic glass is an odd iridescence to it.
Today they produce a little metallic glass commercially. Its biggest use is on golf clubs, because it seems to have a lesser ability to absorb the impact of the ball so it will go further. That's as far as anyone has gone with it commercially.
If you Google metallic glass videos, you will find an interesting video. There's a fellow who has two glass or plastic tubes on a desk. One has a piece of stainless steel on the bottom of it. The other one has a piece of metallic glass stainless steel that has been heated up and super-cooled.
The difference in the properties is interesting. When he drops a ball bearing on the sheet of stainless steel it will bounce 14-16 times. When he drops it on the amorphic, irregularly constructed surface it will bounce for about two minutes.
Their scientific conclusion on this is that the metal that has been heated up is cooled so rapidly that the metallic crystalline structure is unable to reorganize itself completely, and is what they call an amorphic or irregular structure. Part of its exhibition is iridescence. They are all different. There are a lot of people looking into this.
The property they've decided causes this is that the ball bearing dropped on the amorphic structure rebounds because the surface is unable to absorb the energy of the ball bearing. That's the conclusion at this point.
What I actually think is happening is that, because this material is iridescent, and in the ormic state of the elemental material, the neutral material is encased into this metallic crystalline structure. Because of its rapid rate of cooling it is actually anti-gravitationally feeding back to the ball bearing. Nobody is looking into this that I am aware of.
When you look at iridescence in insects we know they lose their weight and they mathematically should not be able to fly, but they can. Pretty much all insects have compound eyes. All compound eyes have iridescent material in them. In fact, all our eyes do too. These are materials that are not regarded as anything but colors, and yet they are able to process light and various other aspects of what we are and what nature is. And, again, no one is looking into this.
There's a recurring pattern of behavior that emerged as Dave and Riki begin to study this more. Birds have iridescent feathers, and birds likely have iridescent materials incorporated into their structure, as do we. It's in our eyes, for sure, and probably other places. So that gives us the ability to process light at different levels of our physical structure.
So there's a very physical side to this. One of the other things when Dave and Riki were searching to find out what else had iridescent materials in it and potential anti-gravitational properties is the fact that the pyramids were built out of granite. Granite has a large amount of iridescent characteristics within the various particles and constructions of the granite itself.
Anti-Gravitation and Iridescence
In the 1970s a man named David Hamill was building anti-gravitational engines in British Columbia and Ontario. A book was written about him called The Granite Man and the Butterfly. He was manufacturing various components of these engines out of red granite found in Ontario. This was all information that was given to him. He had a 5th-grade education and was in the Army back in in the war. He passed away at 84, but a lot of his information is sort of contributory to this as well.
A lot of what we are doing with our research is looking for bits and pieces that start to cross-reference each other. When you start to look at things like the pyramids with the iridescent material having anti-gravitational properties, Dave and Riki believe that these things can be activated by sonic frequencies that will activate these resonant cavities that will act in opposition to gravity.
View of the Granite Temple, Sphinx, and the Great Pyramid of Gîzeh from 1885
Many people know about Coral Castle in Florida, built by Edward Leedskalnin. They talked about these cones he was using--again resonant frequencies. What he was lifting wasn't granite. It was limestone cuttings from Florida. Limestone comes from the shells of sea creatures. You have mother of pearl, all these other things with endless iridescent properties. It looks like the same thing was probably going on at that point.
Michael Tellinger looks at some of this stuff running back in history. He has a fairly good video on the continual appearance of these cones well back into Egypt and South Africa. Somehow these have something to do with resonant frequencies, and resonant frequencies can be controlled. Again, insects do it with their wings.
There are many stories of the Tibetan Buddhists literally raising rocks for buildings with their chants and probably sonically activating the anti-gravitational properties of these granites -- look what the Himalayas are made out of.
Dave and Riki investigated this entire area in Google and other so-called resources and could find nothing. Dave looks in Google about all of these peculiar things they are researching and all he finds is himself. It doesn't give him any answers.
Following is a potential explanation for how these ancient technologies could have contributed to the construction of the pyramids and likely a lot of these other constructions around the world. It is as simple as sound-activated anti-gravitational properties. They get into this from the ormus materials, Brown's gas. Ormus oxygen and ormus hydrogen are actually Brown's gases. Again, they have peculiar properties. Everything they have been taught works in reverse when you begin to look at anti-gravitational stuff, the way Brown's gas functions -- it's completely opposite of what we're taught.
Oxyacetylene torches work by discharging heat and heating up what you're working with. Brown's gas torches work in reverse. They only have a 269 degree flame and what they do is excite the material you want to weld or work with and draw the energy back into the torch.
Brown's gas doesn't explode, it implodes. Again, they are ormus oxygen and ormus hydrogen. Materials in this 5th state of matter endlessly and continuously exhibit behaviors that are absolutely opposite of everything we've been taught by our education system.
So Dave and Riki study ormus and ormus materials from a kind of sideshow. Dave's background is technical, mechanic production work, products, things like that. Riki's work has been very much on the spiritual side, a place where Dave feels really devoid. Their relationship has allowed them to look at both sides of this. Dave is used to working with tools, and Riki is his best tool. He know how to work with these tools, and says it's just incredible.
How Dave and Riki Research Ormus
Dave and Riki have been doing research for 12 years. There were no books even on ormus when they started this, there has really been no information anywhere. So they set up a process of dowsing where they formulate the questions and go through the dowsing process. The dowsing has led them in the right direction continuously. Invariably, cross-references come, sometimes a week, a month, a year, three years down the road. It's really interesting because for 12 years it has absolutely proven to be the way to do this.
All humans have the ability to do these things. We are the dowsing tool. All these other things are focal point instruments to use what we already are. We have everything we need within us. We do not need to go outside of us. When we look inside we start to draw what we need to us.
Dave ran into a problem. He would start downloading this information and he would be working all day, and then all night, and then all the next day. He was getting so ridiculously tired with all this information coming and he said to Riki one day, "I can't do this any more." And she said, "Oh, just tell your guides to give it to you at the speed you can handle it." So he did and it was fixed just like that.
So we have these communication avenues within us. And whatever your interest or your passion is, these things will come to you. Just don't doubt them. The whole process of ascension is changing our thinking from controlling to allowing.
It doesn't matter what culture you come from. Cultures are for the purpose of getting babies in line in whatever part of the world they come from. We have to just learn to undo our cultures and open our minds and look at these things.
So Dave and Riki hope that by talking a little bit about iridescence they can get people thinking about it. Because there are definite results to be had from this procedure of questioning and reasoning. Whatever the culture, whatever the background, you might be able to look back in history to see where iridescence was valued. For example pearls, shells. A lot of the answers are in the traditions of why certain things were valued in that culture. We have all this information about us and around us. We don't need to dig outside for it. It's there if you just think about your culture.
Dave & Riki work with ormus gold. Their background culture is European. When they started to look at the stories from their culture, they found the leprechaun and the pot of gold, that everything King Midas touched turned to gold, and the goose laid the golden egg. A lot of this stuff has been in our culture for hundreds of years. Why is gold so important?
In one of Zecharia Sitchin's books he translated the Sumerian tablets. It said the Anunnaki came to earth to mine gold because its atmosphere was depleted. Now what kind of translation from an ancient tablet is that?
Dave & Riki started looking into it and realized that earth's natural cloud is ormus. Precipitating out of the moisture in the atmosphere, and when it rains we get water and we get ormus together. Because if you take any rain water source, split it in two and microwave one part, the water that comes out of the microwave will no longer support life. If it is used on plants, the plants will die, because the magnetic field has repelled the ormus messaging material out of the water. It's an easy experiment -- you can do this at home. This is how things work.
Another thing Dave & Riki have discovered with plants is a field called tetryonics. This theory was developed by a gentleman named Kelvin in Australia about 11 years ago. He had to explain particles to his 13-year-old son for school and the discussion was not going well. He looked into particles to find a good way to explain them and realized that none of the explanations made sense to him either. The model we are taught in school about the neutron, proton, electron, marble theory that was created in 1897 fits less and less today.
Kelvin reasoned that the smallest particle on the planet, according to conventional science, is a quark. A quark is a triangle. On each point of that triangle there is an electric or a magnetic positive or negative. If you rotate that quark, the opposite is on the other side, which keeps it steady. When you put two quarks together you now have a diamond-shaped photon. This is light. This is how our energy comes from the sun.
What all plants do is collect copper, and they concentrate the copper around the chloroplast, where the plant produces its food. Anywhere there is a metal, there is an ormic field of the neutral metal around it. Depending on the dynamics of the atmosphere, the magnetic field, etc., these materials are switching back and forth between the metallic state and the ormic state.
Now, what plants do within this field of the ormus copper, which is where they produce their food, they take these photons of light and they fold them together into tetrahedrons of matter. Plants convert two-dimensional light into three-dimensional matter within the ormic field of copper. That's why they are literally building the planet. That's why something that happened a hundred years ago is three feet below ground. That's what's happening. They are building the earth from the top of it by converting light into plant material.
Dave and Riki have given plants ormus at their home. One of the interesting things that happens when plants are given ormus is that they become much more prolific and develop larger leaves, larger plants. For example, here are photographs that show side-by-side comparisons of walnut trees planted at the same time. The ones on the right were treated with ormus water. The one on the left was simply watered normally.
Walnut Trees Watered with Ormus
And here are close-ups of the walnuts these trees produced:
Compare Walnuts from Trees Watered with Ormus to Walnuts Given Plain Water
When you look at ormus treated plants in the sun you will start to see these odd little flecks of iridescence in the leaves, and even a little iridescence in the flowers. So, again we are back to this continuously recurring appearance of iridescent materials. And yet when you look iridescence up it's just a bland explanation of next to nothing. Definitions don't really work -- if you look up the meaning of definition it is to set limitations and parameters of a word. So when you limit everything it basically impedes your forward moving process.
Ormus is ingestible, or it can be applied directly to the skin. Dave and Riki make several different Ormus ingestibles that are derivatives from different salts in sea water. With the magnesium spray, the Ormus is mixed with magnesium oil because it's water based and the magnesium oil will take it through the skin.
Dave and Riki view their job as helping viable people to become more viable. The presentation of information and physically helping people to get rid of things that impede their forward progress is what they do.
The reason ormus is not better known is because scientists are trained through conventional protocols. It is easy to assume that what we have been taught is all there is to know. Yet what we are taught by education systems worldwide is often inaccurate or incomplete. Dave and Riki's definition of a "fact" is something that two people agree to look no further into.
Everything we think we know should be examined to see what more there is. We can look at it through our experience, intelligence, examples, presentations, and through our history -- looking back through our cultures.
Again, dowsing is the best tool for today and of the future because it circumvents all the controlling of information. So it is part of our relationship with God, part of what we are. Churches and religions are intermediaries. They mean well but the dogmas get in the way.
Ormus material in Egypt was called "shewbread" or "the precious stone." The Arabs called it "Mfktz," and in the Bible it was called "manna." Today we call it "ormus" or "monatomic gold." The American military-industrial complex simply calls it "exotic matter." You cannot patent this material. Parts of it have been classified and it will be removed from you if you try. That's the status now.

Africities summit places urban-rural linkages at heart of the debate
In the wake of rapid urbanisation in Africa, the importance of intermediary cities in strengthening urban-rural linkages is growing exponentially. In recognition of this trend, UN-Habitat and the Urban Cities and Local Government of Africa (UCLGA) organised a webinar on "The Role of Intermediary Cities in Strengthening urban-rural linkages Amid Rapid Urbanisation in Africa" in preparation for the upcoming 9th session of the Africities Summit to be held in Kisumu, Kenya, May 2022.

Ten panelists were drawn from various institutions to share African experiences, case studies, and tools to optimise the performance of intermediary cities in the context of urban-rural linkages.
Remy Sietchiping, Chief of the Policy, Legislation and Governance Section at UN-Habitat, moderated two groups of panelists from the 100-plus participants.
In his opening remarks, Oumar Sylla, Director of the Regional Office for Africa at UN-Habitat, stressed the importance of intermediary cities in the context of rapid urbanisation in Africa.
"Intermediary cities are significant in structuring the urban network and connecting the local and regional to the continental and global level. This necessitates the urgent need for urban and sectorial policies to reference the growing importance of intermediary cities in programming and planning decisions," he said.
Jean Pierre Elong Mbassi, Secretary General of UCLG Africa, pointed out that intermediary cities "create a middle ground between human settlements and nature."
He stressed, however, that intermediary cities face many challenges including weakening food systems in the era of COVID-19 and climate change.
He then offered five priority issues that could support intermediary cities as: food system, housing, basic services. infrastructure maintenance and local governance.
Raf Tuts, Director of the Global Solutions Division at UN-Habitat, highlighted how UN-Habitat has prioritised its strategic plan around territorial approaches and reducing spatial inequalities.
He called on the audience to appreciate the important role intermediary cities play as service centres, in food systems, rural transformation and addressing challenges such as health pandemics and climate change.
On behalf of the Governor of Kisumu County, Aloice S. O. Ager, Special Advisor to the Governor and Head of Africities Secretariat, underscored the legal and policy frameworks that are conducive for making intermediary cities more productive and prosperous.
The second panel of speakers was led by Cecilia Marocchino, the UN Food and Agriculture Organisation's Urban Food Agenda Coordinator, who delved into an important dimension of the debate, i.e., the role of intermediary cities in strengthening food systems by connecting urban and rural areas.
"The key challenge remains the food governance gap between the national and the local government, which needs to be addressed through policy integration and partnerships," she said.
Vicente Ruiz, an Economist at the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), redirected the discussion, asking the participants to consider the impact of climate change on intermediary cities. He mentioned that due to their proximity to rural areas, intermediary cities experience drought, flooding, heat waves etc. Touching on an important point from Marocchino's discussion, Ruiz informed said that there is often a disruption in the food system, as well as an increase in climate-induced migration.
Salvatore Fundaro from UN-Habitat closed the second panel by adding a valuable dimension to Hohmann's discussion. He stressed the role of regional plans in connecting urban and rural areas and enhancing the role of intermediary cities in this important effort. Closing remarks were provided by Sylla who said that intermediary cities perform well in their role as hubs of economic development, social transformation and environmental protection through deliberate partnerships in planning, policy and governance.

Falls Plantation
The old Falls Plantation was inherited by William Byrd I (ca. 1652-1704) from his maternal uncle Thomas Stegge. The Byrd family lived there from the 1670s until 1693 when they moved downriver to Westover in 1693. The land remained in the Byrd family and was later called Belvidere Plantation. William Byrd III (1728-1777) lived at Belvidere for a time with his first wife.
William Byrd II (1674-1744)

The East Greenwich Pendulum, formerly known as the Rhode Island Pendulum, is a publication of Rhode Island Suburban Newspapers. It is published every Thursday and serves East Greenwich and sections of Warwick with a circulation of about 3,500.

History
The Rhode Island Pendulum began when William N. Sherman bought the Kent County Atlas paper and plant from John B. Lincoln, who had just recently moved his paper from Phenix to East Greenwich. The first issue was published on June 24, 1854 under the name The Weekly Pendulum due to its unique schedule: it would be published in East Greenwich one week and Wickford the next.

In 1877, Sherman sold the Pendulum to Daniel C. Kenyon. Kenyon remained owner until his death ten years later, at which point the paper was auctioned off for the price of $325 to Josiah B. Bowditch, editor of the Providence Telegram.

In the words of the paper itself, the Pendulum "has seen a long procession of colorful editors and publishers."  This includes Oliver Still, who was elected to the Rhode Island State Constabulary in 1888 to enforce new prohibition laws only a year before he purchased the Rhode Island Pendulum. He used his editorship to publish pieces on prohibition, promoting the belief that "the Prohibition party was ordained by God," unlike the Democratic and Republican parties which only served the "whisky fiend". The printing plant that housed the Pendulum burned down while under Still's ownership in 1890 but he continued to publish until 1892.

Successors Will Burnside and H. V. Baldwin formed the Wilma Publishing Company in 1897, and when Baldwin left the company William B. Streeter took over as editor. Streeter sparked controversy with a strongly-worded editorial suggesting that Scalloptown, a small village on the shore of East Greenwich that housed many underprivileged people (mainly poor whites and African-Americans) should be purged. The shore was eventually demolished in 1926, "reducing it to ashes."

In 1912, Fay R. Hunt and Samuel Irwin acquired ownership of the paper with Mr. Hunt acting as editor. Joseph A. Petty leased the paper from Fay R. Hunt when he moved from Ohio to Rhode Island in 1929. The paper stayed in the Petty family until 1958 when Joseph's son, Travis Petty sold the paper to Jacob and Saralle Goodman.

Awards
In 2010, The East Greenwich Pendulum received two awards from the Rhode Island Press Association Editorial Award Competition. Eric Rueb won 3rd place in Best Sports Photo and Abby Fox won 2nd place in Art Review for her article "Gamm Theatre's Grace falls short".

WOODBRIDGE >> A Connecticut brewery that drew condemnation in the U.S. and India for its beer that carries the name and likeness of Mohandas Gandhi says it's received threats and is seeking a way to end the uproar.
New England Brewery of Woodbridge posted on its Facebook page Wednesday that the Gandhi-Bot beer was intended "to include the things and people in the world that have inspired us." It says it's now looking for a way to "amend this situation."
The company said it's been the target of unspecified threats and "some truly hurtful assumptions" about its employees.
Critics said earlier this week they were appalled that the likeness of Gandhi, who favored prohibition, would be used for commerce, particularly to promote beer.
"For nearly five years we've been brewing Gandhi-Bot," the company said in the post. "In those five years we've proudly served it to people of all backgrounds. Until this week we've never received a single negative comment regarding the label but after a recent article it has come to our attention that the artwork has clearly offended some people.
"We are a very small company that is passionate about brewing beer and have never had any intention to offend anyone but rather share wha we do with anyone interested," the post said.
"We are working on finding the best way to amend this situation in a manner that both is respectful to those who are offended as well as a way that is manageable for our small company," the company said.
New England Brewing posted its original apology on Saturday, at about the time criticism began mounting. Newspapers in India reported that a lawyer has brought a case against the beer company in Hyderabad, saying the use of Gandhi's image violates Indian law as an insult to the nation's honor.
State Rep. Prasad Srinivasan, a Glastonbury Republican who is from India, said he was "beyond appalled" at the use of Gandhi's image.
"How this celebrates the apostle of peace by putting his image on a beer can boggles one's mind," he said.
Tushar Gandhi, the Indian leader's great-grandson, said Gandhi "abhorred alcohol drinking" and spoke against it, The Telegraph newspaper reported. Gopalkrishna Gandhi, Gandhi's grandson, was quoted as calling the use of his image "crass and silly."
Rajan Zed, of the Indo-American Leadership Confederation, said upset Indo-Americans are calling for the company to withdraw its "highly inappropriate" beer. He said selling the beer is "damaging" to Gandhi's legacy and "hurt the feelings of Indo-Americans and Indians."
He said "marketing beer for mercantile greed using Gandhi was trivialization of Gandhian principles and belittling of the Indo-American community and Indians."
A brewery representative did not immediately respond to an email seeking more information.

England vs New Zealand, 2nd Test: James Anderson Eyes Another England Record
Sports Home Cricket News England vs New Zealand, 2nd Test: James Anderson Eyes Another England Record
England vs New Zealand, 2nd Test: James Anderson is on the verge of adding to his record-breaking achievements for England.
Updated: June 10, 2021 12:02 AM IST

James Anderson is set to become England's most-capped Test player
Anderson is tied with former skipper Alastair Cook on 161 caps
Anderson will go past Cook if he plays 2nd NZ Test starting Thursday
James Anderson is on the verge of adding to his list of record-breaking achievements by becoming England's most-capped Test cricketer, yet when he made his debut in 2003 the Lancashire swing bowler thought he "wasn't good enough". Anderson will surpass the mark of 161 Tests he currently shares with retired former England captain Alastair Cook, a close friend, should he be included in the hosts' side for the second and deciding match against New Zealand at Edgbaston starting Thursday.
His current tally of 616 Test wickets is the most by any England bowler, as well as being more than any other paceman in the history of the game.
The 38-year-old's longevity is all the more remarkable given he is a seam bowler, a far more physically demanding task then that of being a spinner or an opening batsman like Cook.
Anderson's career has been defined by his skill as much as by his endurance, however.
That makes his memory of his opening spell in Test cricket, against Zimbabwe at Lord's 18 years ago, all the more striking, especially as it led to the first of 30 five-wicket hauls.
"I thought I wasn't good enough,"Anderson recalled. "My first ball was a no-ball so there were a lot of nerves there and I did feel like this was maybe a step too far for me at that point.
"No disrespect to Zimbabwe but playing against teams like South Africa and Australia and India -- once you put in performances against the top teams in the world, that's when you can feel like you can actually perform at that level."
'Godsend'
A stress fracture kept Anderson, who had been reduced to bowling at cones during practice sessions, out of action as England assembled the pace attack of Stephen Harmison, Matthew Hoggard, Andrew Flintoff and Simon Jones that would help them win the celebrated 2005 Ashes series.
Anderson's distinctive action was also subjected to some unwelcome interference by England backroom staff.
"I'm proud of the fact that I've overcome little hurdles throughout my career and they've made me stronger," said Anderson.
"That stress fracture was probably a godsend. It made me go back to my old action and since then I've felt really comfortable and got more consistent."
But whether Anderson and longtime new-ball partner Stuart Broad both play at Edgbaston remains uncertain given England also have a five-match series at home to India before trying to regain the Ashes in Australia.
England will have to make at least one change after Sussex paceman Ollie Robinson, who enjoyed an impressive on-field debut, at Lord's, was suspended for racist and sexist tweets he had posted as a teenager.
New Zealand too will field an altered XI.
Black Caps skipper Kane Williamson, the world's number one-ranked Test batsman, has been omitted as he rests an elbow injury in the hope of being fit for next week's inaugural World Test Championship final against India at Southampton, with spinner Mitchell Santner (cut finger) sidelined as well.
Tom Latham takes over as captain, with Will Young the new number three.
New Zealand left-arm quick Trent Boult is set to return, having missed the match at Lord's -- where debutant opener Devon Conway scored a superb 200 -- to spend time with his family following the suspension of the Indian Premier League.
Boult's overall record of 281 wickets in 71 Tests includes 21, at an average of just over 23 apiece, from four matches in England.
"I think he is clever, a smart bowler with a number of different skills," said England captain Joe Root.
"His record speaks for itself, he swings the new ball and brings the stumps into play."

LOVERS of speed and vehicles of all kinds will join art lovers at the Murray Art Museum's upcoming exhibition, Speed: The Fast and the Curious, on show from August 20 to November 6.
The exhibition will feature newly-commissioned works by leading Australian and international artists that address the role of speed in the Australian psyche, including an armoured car made from recycled automotives by Michael Laubli and an installation of 36 suspended spears by local indigenous artist Uncle Phil Murray.
It will coincide with a program of events including artists' talks, car enthusiasts' meets, tours, virtual racing and school holiday activities.
"Speed: The Fast and the Curious taps into a deep-rooted theme in the region that relates to transport and motorised innovation," gallery director Jacqui Hemsley said.
"Albury has played an important role in the development of new technology and the history of transport in the region.
"New technology brought about by necessity, innovation, isolation and knowledge has been a key to progress.
"Albury was the birthplace of the Robbins and Porter monoplane, Australia's first flat-four aero engine in 1913, the centre for Australia's last manufactured gearbox transmissions and the home of Brad Jones V8 racing.
"From the former race tracks that capped the edges of the Hume Weir to V8 supercars, street motorcycles, speedway go-kart racing and power boats, the region has a long-celebrated enthusiasm for speed."
Murray Art Museum, 546 Dean St Albury, open Monday to Friday 10am-5pm (Thursdays until 7pm), weekends and public holidays 10am-4pm.


In the Christmas photo album…..
I hope you and your family had a good Christmas. Happy New Year!
Great little piece of writing. Emotional honesty without melodrama. Love it.
Mother's pantsuits, brother's moustache and macramé. A universal time stamp. People we've known and never knew. This one is a standout. No dexterous cleverness, but a bucket of heart. More memories to you, and a Happy New Year.
Amazing story! Hope you had a wonderful Christmas celebration!
Yes, the ghosts are there in the album, but why do I get the regret, the guilt, the pain more than the joy, the family growing together, the beauty of learning and growing? Was the past really mostly difficult and sad? Even Christmas?
Hoping the Spirit of Christmas Present finds you well, and the Spirit of Christmas Future calls on you with love and blessings.
One of the most amazing poems that I have ever read on this website, and I am so thrilled for the next one!
That is the strange thing about Christmas. Tradition makes everything wonderful and opens up wounds at the same time. Haunting and exquisite poem.
Very nice. We all become ghosts, nothing left but memories, until those too pass on. Then a photo book might remain, it's stories absent, a book of ghosts.
Stumbled here and scrolled into a poem. A layered picture poem. I traveled with you to the end.
Such power and beauty in this!

America's Once Magical, Now Mundane, Love Affair With Cars

STERLING, Va. -- Chuck Mecca plops his lawn chair down in the parking lot of the Chick-fil-A at the Dulles Town Crossing shopping center, smack behind his lipstick-red 1956 Ford F-100 pickup, primped and polished for its turn under the Friday night lights.
Mecca, his beard long since gone white, is a regular at the Cruise-In, a weekly gathering of guys whose enduring love is a set of wheels that delivers them back to the time when customizing and showing off your car was the ultimate expression of self.
Now 72, Mecca was 18 when he worked the biggest newspaper delivery route in McLean, Virginia, to amass the cash to buy his first car, a '53 Ford that didn't have a working second gear. He pumped gas to pay for wheels to cruise over the bridge to Washington, D.C., or impress the girls at a local drive-in.
Back then, he could name the make and model of anything that zipped by. Even now, cars speak for him: "When my wife beat ovarian cancer," he says, "I bought her her dream car," a '56 Chevy Nomad station wagon.

On Friday evenings at the Cruise-In, Mecca and his buddies cluster behind the '72 Dodge Challenger and the electric-blue '65 Corvette. They check under the hoods and trade stories about cars and women and where the years have gone.
For nearly all of the first century of automobile travel, getting your license meant liberation from parental control, a passport to the open road. Today, only half of millennials bother to get their driver's licenses by age 18. Car culture, the 20th-century engine of the American Dream, is an old guy's game.
"The automobile just isn't that important to people's lives anymore," says Mike Berger, a historian who studies the social effect of the car. "The automobile provided the means for teenagers to live their own lives. Social media blows any limits out of the water. You don't need the car to go find friends."
Much of the emotional meaning of the car, especially to young adults, has transferred to the smartphone, says Mark Lizewskie, executive director of the Antique Automobile Club of America Museum in Hershey, Pennsylvania. "Instead of Ford versus Chevy, it's Apple versus Android, and instead of customizing their ride, they customize their phones with covers and apps," he says. "You express yourself through your phone, whereas lately, cars have become more like appliances, with 100,000-mile warranties."
At the Cruise-In, 30 miles outside Washington, Mecca and a cluster of other collectors, all men past the half-century mark, trade laments _ for the days when cars had more fanciful designs, for what they fear will be the loss of the Washington Redskins' team name, for their children's lack of interest in cars.

"The world's changing too fast for me," Mecca says. "I'd like to be back in the '50s." The old guys' conversation turns to blemishes _ not on the sparkling cars before them, but on their own, less painstakingly preserved bodies. "It's benign, thank the Lord," Mecca says of the spot on his scalp.
"This is what we talk about," says Gary Fanning, 58. He tried to give his son his '65 pickup. Gift declined; not interested.

Across the parking lot, though, a few much younger men take a stand for their generation. Kevin Kurdziolek, 26, and his friend Conner Walsh, 25, match their elders in passion. Their Mustangs _ Kevin's '03 SVT Cobra and Conner's '04 Mach 1 _ are buffed to a showroom gleam. They, too, have dewy memories of how their love of cars began. Walsh grew up collecting Hot Wheels, and Kurdziolek's father was into drag racing. They, too, know how to rebuild the suspension. They, too, believe a cool car is a fast track to a woman's heart.
"There's something to be said about picking up a chick in this car," Kurdziolek says. "It's cool and loud and aggressive. You don't even have to hear her. You don't even need music."
The young guys realize they are the anomalies in their generation. Coming up behind them are people like Kurdziolek's younger brother, who is 21. "He can't afford most cars," Kevin says. "He's looking for something that has a long warranty on it, good fuel efficiency, Bluetooth, all the odds and ends for his phone. It's just about utility for him."

Kurdziolek and Walsh don't quite fit with Mecca and the old regulars, and they're already nostalgic for a time when teenagers rushed to get their licenses. As car buffs, their road forward looks lonely, and the way back is crowded with another generation's memories.
The number of vehicles on American roads soared every year until the recession hit in 2008. Then the number plummeted. Recently, it's crept back up. Similarly, the number of drivers has leveled off.
"In the near future, cars will control the driver instead of the other way around," says John Heitmann, a historian at the University of Dayton who studies Americans' relationship with automobiles. (He also is restoring a 1971 Porsche 911T Targa.) "And the way we live now, especially on the coasts, it's a bother to own a car. For young people, and not just the urban elite, there's not even a desire to drive."
Americans drive fewer miles per year _ down about 9 percent over the past two decades. The percentage of 19-year-olds with driver's licenses has dropped from 87 percent two decades ago to 70 percent last year. Most teens now do not get licensed within a year of becoming eligible, according to a study by the AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety.
"Their priorities are different _ they have Mom and Dad to drive them around, and some frankly say, 'I don't need to drive; I can walk to Metro,' " says Jim Snow, a retired Montgomery County, Maryland, police officer who teaches driving at the I Drive Smart school in Rockville.
[Business] Student activists protest in Hartford and demand state action to cancel natural gas plant in Killingly »
As cars have become more automated and reliable, teens have lost their connection to the mechanics of the vehicle. "I don't see kids who know what's under the hood anymore," Snow says. "A lot of them don't even know how to open the hood."
Why this disconnect is happening is very much subject to interpretation.
It's all about a craving for simplicity, Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg has said, a reluctance to jump into the trappings of adult life _ marriage, children, car. Just as millennials delay buying houses, so too have they found other ways to get around _ Uber, Zipcar, public transit, texting friends to see who can offer a lift.
No, it's the economy, stupid, some car industry analysts and executives say. The recession hit this generation just as it was about to put down roots. Fewer jobs meant less money, which translated into an inability to buy, insure or maintain a car.
Now, as the economy bounces back, auto sales are up 4 percent in the first half of this year. Americans are choosing big vehicles again. Thanks in part to low gas prices, sales of SUVs and light trucks are up. Sedans, subcompacts, hybrids and electrics are down.

"This is all actually economics, not preferences," says Sean McAlinden, chief economist at the Center for Automotive Research, a nonprofit group funded by government and industry grants. When the cost of owning a car drops below 10 percent of income, "young people will stop telling pollsters they can do without cars. You say you're not interested in owning something if you can't afford it," he argues.
Millennials increasingly telecommute, use public transit, connect with friends digitally without always having to meet in person, and live in big cities. About 40 percent of them say they intend to stay in cities, though previous generations said that, too, before marriage and children.
"With tuition and student loan debts, young people can't afford a car," says John B. Townsend II, longtime spokesman for the AAA Mid-Atlantic. Plus, there's the sky-high cost of car insurance, an average of $1,100 nationwide.
But McAlinden is confident they will return to the auto fold. "It's completely un-American not to like motor vehicles," he says, and he is both joking and not joking.
Or maybe what it means to be American has simply changed.

"Digital enticements are displacing the pleasures of driving," says Matt Crawford, a political philosopher at the University of Virginia's Institute for Advanced Studies in Culture who also fabricates components for custom motorcycles. "So that whole sense of getting in the car and finding out what's beyond the next town is less powerful."
Crawford, 49, fell in love with cars back when drivers often had to deal with mechanical problems. His first few cars were "real beaters" that broke down frequently, requiring him to bang on a stranger's door and beg for help. "You'd end up interacting with people you wouldn't otherwise meet," he says. And knowing your car paid dividends. Braking was a skill. Parking did not involve cameras or computers.
Now, he says, "cars have become virtual reality boxes," infantilizing the driver. BMW even pipes phony engine noises through its cars' sound systems to make drivers feel like they're in charge of a machine that mostly runs itself. Driving these days, Crawford writes, "would seem to promote a kind of regression _ back into the womb."
Maybe car culture is waning, he suggests, because "parents are less authoritarian and want to be your friend." In other words, the need to rebel isn't what it used to be.
Through the 30 years he spent as an Oldsmobile dealer, Steve Moskowitz saw this coming. "In my early days, I saw how romantic the idea of buying a car was," recalls Moskowitz, 67, now executive director of the Antique Automobile Club of America. For many years, people dressed up to visit the showroom. But in later years, "people were looking for dependability and value and weren't concerned with looks and romance."

Unsurprisingly, the nation's car museums and auto clubs now struggle to attract a younger audience. "We're trying to figure out what we can present that people can't get from a website," says Terry Ernest, president of the National Association of Automobile Museums and director of the Wills Sainte Claire Museum of Classic Autos in Marysville, Michigan. "Certainly, some museums are going to fail."
Cars are just one more aspect of life hit hard by the digital culture's corrosion of local ties. Retail shopping, the news business and politics have taken on a more national character because the Internet lets people connect along interest lines rather than by geography. In that way, car culture is losing its local structure _ the clubs, museums and meets that brought people together.
The thriving platforms for younger car buffs tend to be virtual _ the Jalopnik blog (slogan: "Drive Free or Die"), or autoextremist.com. But perhaps the most visible sign of car culture these days is on cable TV's Velocity channel, which runs reality shows about restoring, collecting and selling cars, all aimed at "men in their mid to high 40s and above," says its general manager, Bob Scanlon.
There is a younger audience for shows about designing and building cars, "and there's a direct correlation between the number of tattoos on the builder's arms and the youth of the audience," he says with a wink. He adds that the channel is "not in a position to develop the next generation" of car buffs.
If the audience is graying, Scanlon says, blame Detroit, which shifted from the fanciful fins and muscle cars of the '50s and '60s to a focus on reliability. Americans still love to tinker, and father-son bonds over mechanics can still pack an emotional wallop, but "cars don't seem to resonate in scripted entertainment like they once did," Scanlon says.
[Business] 'Our state capital is totally crumbling:' Connecticut rolls out 2nd small-business aid program as surging pandemic hammers retailers and restaurants »
Scanlon, 63, grew up in a car family; his father was a mechanical engineer, and father and son tinkered together. One of Scanlon's adult sons has followed him into car TV, as a manager on "Overhaulin'," a car-customizing show. His other son also is a tinkerer _ the new kind: He runs a video-gaming site.
A century ago, a good way to reach the bestseller list was to publish books featuring boys and girls having adventures with cars. From "The Motor Boys" and "The Motor Maids" through the iconic Hollywood hits of the '50s through the '80s, the car was every bit as important to the great American dream machine as the best-known writers and actors.
Cruising and drag racing were the real stars of "American Graffiti" (1973). Chases inspired car love among viewers of "Thunder Road" (1958), "Smokey and the Bandit" (1977) and "The Cannonball Run" (1981). On Hot Rod magazine's list of the 40 greatest car movies of all time, only two were made in this century. The car's heyday in pop culture featured the Beach Boys and their little old lady from Pasadena and their little deuce coupe; James Bond's omnipotent sportsters; Steve McQueen's legendary chase through the streets of San Francisco in "Bullitt"; Herbie the Love Bug; and on into the '70s and '80s with Springsteen's "Pink Cadillac" and Prince's "Little Red Corvette."
Cars had their own TV shows _ "Knight Rider," "The Dukes of Hazzard," and for one season, in 1965, "My Mother the Car," a sitcom in which a 1928 Porter turns out to be the reincarnation of its owner's mother. Really.
George Barris built the Porter (a made-up make) out of an old Ford Model T. He put a stunt man on the floor of the car to drive it using mirrors so the vehicle would appear to be driven by the invisible mother. Barris, 98 and still customizing cars, also built the Batmobile, the family hearse on "The Munsters," the rickety jalopy on "The Beverly Hillbillies," "General Lee" on "The Dukes of Hazzard," and the red Torino on "Starsky and Hutch."

"You had to design the car to be one of the stars of the show," Barris says. He also customized cars for celebrities such as Frank Sinatra, Elvis Presley, and Sonny and Cher. But over the past two decades, he says: "The interest in cars seemed to slip out of the industry. The car isn't how the stars express their personality. John Wayne told me he wanted to just slide in, not climb into his motorcar. So Pontiac sent me a wagon, I raised the roof six inches and lowered the floor four inches, and he just slid in.
"You don't get calls like that anymore. Can you even think of a TV show now that has cars doing things or being fun characters? For most people now, it's just transportation."
The argument over whether the nation is reaching Peak Car _ the point after which permanent decline sets in _ will continue for years, but it's already clear that the quality of Americans' relationship with cars has shifted.
The spirit isn't gone _ check out one of Chrysler's elegiac ads appealing to patriotism and nostalgia to stir love of Detroit's signature industry _ but a utilitarian attitude is becoming more pervasive. Symbols of the car's central role in American life are fading. Fast-food chains are building fewer drive-through windows; schools are offering fewer drivers' education classes. Automakers are studying how to make money in a time of car-sharing, driverless vehicles and a growing aversion to owning stuff.
Ford's resident futurist, Sheryl Connelly, points to data showing that millennials often like to rent rather than buy products. Ford research finds that 74 percent of adults try to use their time in motion "to accomplish something else." So the automaker is dreaming up vehicles that let users do something _ anything! _ in a state of "global gridlock," chief executive Bill Ford's term for a world in which more than half of people live in megacities.

The return of young people to city centers brings a permanent pivot in how people think about getting around, says Gabe Klein, a Zipcar founder who went on to run the city transportation departments in Chicago and Washington.
Klein, 44, says cars have become a burden, a symbol of a model of living gone sour. "We were sold a bill of goods by the government," he says, "by real estate developers who wanted to sell tract housing far from the city, by car companies who sold us this new lifestyle of living in the suburbs and commuting in."
That suburban model is not something to rebuild from the ravages of recession, but rather a lifestyle that technology will let Americans discard, Klein argues. "Car culture is really a brief 50- or 60-year blip in history," he says.
Klein has become an evangelist for a future that sounds utopian to some, nightmarish to others. It's a vision in which pods of driverless, on-demand cars roam city streets, ready to pick you up for half of what Uber charges. It's a future with less traffic and far less parking. And little need for car ownership.
At 22, fresh out of college, Regina Catipon finds herself a commuter, traveling on weekdays from her parents' place in Shady Grove, Maryland, to her downtown Washington office. It's a 90-minute trek each way _ a bus, a train, a walk.

Living at the far reaches of a Metro train line, Catipon realizes that a car would make life easier, but it's just not a priority. If her bus is delayed or doesn't show up, she summons Uber or Lyft, or texts friends to catch a ride.
Catipon isn't averse to cars, though she did delay learning to drive after a good friend in high school was hit by a car at 16 and died from head injuries. Despite that trauma, "I actually love cars," Catipon says. She's a fan of "Top Gear," the British TV show about car buffs, and she always wanted a motorcycle. For a time, she was into a guy who rally-raced a Subaru.
But her social life mostly takes place in the city, where parking and traffic make cars a hassle. And both Catipon and her boyfriend have big student loan debts, "so it seems almost irresponsible to take out a car loan when we're either looking for work or getting established," she says.
At the University of Maryland, where Catipon was a journalism major, one of her professors was appalled to learn that a majority of students in her class didn't drive. How would they go out and cover a story without wheels? "You're not going to be employable," the teacher warned.
"But I have a job," counters Catipon, who works at a small journalism start-up, though her position doesn't require her to leave the office.
For now, her plan is to find a way to move into the city, in part to reduce the need for a car. Rebellion plays little role in her thinking about cars. "People talk about the open road," she says, "but in my experience, the road is tolls and traffic cameras."

Q: Count occurrence in table PHP echo I'm new to PHP and MySQL & while there are a bunch of examples on this throughout StackOverflow, but none of them apply very well to my situation.
So, I have a table (named votes) that looks like this:
 student_name | student_id | teacher
----------------------------------------
Joe           | 991991991  | Mr. Smith
Sally         | 717356152  | Ms. Lozano
Benny         | 383717747  | Mr. Johnson
Jim           | 191918918  | Mr. Smith
John          | 182783718  | Mr. Smith
Alfred        | 374878372  | Mr. Johnson

I want an HTML/PHP page to output this in one of my DIVs, automatically looping through all options for teacher and counting how many times each teacher occurs. I want it to automatically count new teachers as they are added, so that I do not have to change the code afterwords.
Mr. Smith: 3
Mr. Johnson: 2
Ms. Lozano: 1

It does not need to be in any order, i shouldn't have put them from least to greatest.
I've tried to do something like
<?php SELECT teacher, SUM(1) FROM votes GROUP BY teacher ?>

or
SELECT teacher, count(teacher)
  FROM votes
 GROUP by teacher

But they don't work and give me an error of "syntax error, unexpected 'teacher' (T_STRING)"
I could just be implementing them wrong. Do they just occur in their own , or do they need a their own connection or their own while statement or something before?
Any suggestions?
EDIT: Here is my full body code with my connection...
$connection = mysql_connect($serverName, $userName, $password) or die('Unable to connect to Database host' . mysql_error());
$dbselect = mysql_select_db($dbname, $connection) or die("Unable to select database:$dbname" . mysql_error());
?>

    <form method="post" action="vote_1.php">

Counted Vote Totals

(these values are current)

Votes by Cantidate

    <?php SELECT teacher, count(teacher)
  FROM votes
 GROUP by teacher ?>

</form>

I did not include my head because of passwords, etc.

A: What exactly is this here:
<?php SELECT teacher, count(teacher)
  FROM votes
 GROUP by teacher ?>

As far as PHP is concerned, that is plain text & not a MySQL query. Quickly off the top of my head, this should work to show you the basic concept of how PHP & MySQL work with each other. Note the mysql_query.
$connection = mysql_connect($serverName, $userName, $password) or die('Unable to connect to Database host' . mysql_error());
$dbselect = mysql_select_db($dbname, $connection) or die("Unable to select database:$dbname" . mysql_error());
$result = mysql_query("SELECT teacher, count(teacher) as teacher_count FROM votes GROUP by teacher;");

while ($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result)) {
    echo $row['teacher'];
    echo $row['teacher_count'];
}

That said, mysql_* prefixed PHP functions are depreciated. Meaning they will no longer work in upcoming version of PHP.  So here is a version of your code using mysqli_* instead using examples from the official PHP documentation:
$link = mysqli_connect($serverName, $userName, $password, $dbname);

// Check the connection
if (mysqli_connect_errno()) {
    printf("Connect failed: %s\n", mysqli_connect_error());
    exit();
}

// Select queries return a resultset
if ($result = mysqli_query($link, "SELECT teacher, count(teacher) as teacher_count FROM votes GROUP by teacher;")) {
    // This is optional. Feel free to comment out this line.
    printf("Select returned %d rows.\n", mysqli_num_rows($result));

    // Cycle through results
    while ($row = $result->fetch_object()){
        echo $row['teacher'];
        echo $row['teacher_count'];
    }
}
