Transfer Talk: Nottingham Forest's Watford loan star to be replaced just weeks after joining the club
The Nottingham based sided are on the verge of signing another goalkeeper
Scott Trotter
Sky Sports are reporting that Nottingham Forest are on the verge of signing goalkeeper on a free transfer Stefanos Kapino.
The news that the 23-year-old Greek international is in Nottingham to have a medical might not be welcome for recent loan signing Costel Pantilimon who has been at the club just over a week.
Olympiacos's goalkeeper Stefanos Kapino (L) fights for the ball with Sporting Lisbon's Seydou Doumbia (R) during the Group D UEFA Champions League football match between Olympiacos and Sporting Lisbon at The Karaiskaki stadium in Piraeus, near Athens on September 12, 2017.

West Ham vs Watford team news: Hammers ace in race to prove his fitness
Kapino had played for Olympiakos but had been absent since a 3-2 loss to AEK in September and eventually his contract was terminated after the January window.
Nottingham Forest owner Evangelos Marinakis also owns Olympiakos.
Pantilimon only made his debut for Aitor Karanka's side in the 2-0 defeat to Fulham but his place in net already seems under threat.

Home Unions
Melbourne wharfies and supporters affirm intention to fight on
Maritime division Victorian secretary Joe Italia building up enthusiasm for action
"From next Thursday the whinging stops and the working starts." These words came from electrical Trades Union Victorian Secretary Troy Grey, when giving support to and addressing a members of what was the Maritime Union of Australia (MUA), who had assembled in front of their union office in Melbourne.
Two weeks ago, the union amalgamated and became part of the new with the Construction Forestry Mining Maritime and Energy Union (CFMMEU).
On this occasion, the wharfies met outside the new union headquarters in Melbourne, to re-affirm their preparedness to stand up for their right to belong to a union and defend wages and conditions, and this year, has involved two important battles. One is with a stevedoring company called Qube, which has been trying to cut wages by up to 56 percent. The other is at the Victoria International Container Terminal Limited (VICT), owned by International Container Terminal Services Inc (ICTSI), a company also notorious for brutalising and underpaying its mainly third world workforce.
The battle with ICTSI has been ongoing and ultimately concerns unionisation of the Australian waterfront and the use of cheap labour. A drive that is supported behind the scenes, by the federal government and sections of big business.
Out on the street, the gathering was joined by representatives of the other sections of the amalgamated union and various other unions, and this was reflected in the list of formidable speakers.
Although Troy Gray's statement referred to the to ongoing action to take on ICTSI, it was equally concerned with the bigger battle of all Australian workers to put an end to an industrial relations system that has done so much to take away what previous generations had achieved, it terms of the dignity, rights and voice of the Australian workforce.
He also said, "the focus is not the coming election. Getting rid of the Coalition government is only a stepping stone. We need to go past this," referring to the need to ensure that all workers, are in a position to ensure their interests.
Another key speaker was the Victorian Construction division secretary, John Setka, who said, "they hate us. They are always attacking us. They hate us because we keep on winning." He observed that companies like ICTSI have always been around, trying to "…impose their conditions. This is not new. They've been around before. They disappeared and we're still here. This lot will disappear too.
John Setka
He stressed that the battle was also to unionise the whole workforce. "one in ten workers being union members is not acceptable," he insisted.
The national, Victorian and West Australian leaders of the maritime division and other speakers committed to doing whatever it takes to bring about change.
The effort dovetails into the ACTU Change the Rules Campaign and the mass meeting of delegates of all unions on 17 April, in the spirit of this is where the work starts.
If this meeting was an indicator of what is to come, the Australian government and its backers are in for a rough ride.
Michael O'Connor the National secretary of the amalgamated Union
Chris Cain the West Australia secretary of the maritime division
Michelle O'Neil secretary of the textile clothing and footwear division

Composing a bio about myself is probably the hardest thing I've ever written. Harder than those Shakespeare theses for Dr. Staples; certainly harder than interviewing a complete stranger for a news article.
I started writing in grammar school, when, like any good writer, I began to rip off my favorite movies, video games and television shows. The first story I can remember authoring had to do with Star Wars and was written on a page of loose leaf at my kitchen table. From there, I learned to use my mother's word processor and would tap out one-page stories about Link from The Legend of Zelda or my favorite characters from Star Trek. (In case you haven't sensed a theme here, I was a pretty nerdy kid.) To see some of my early work that doesn't infringe on any copyright law, click HERE and HERE.
I enjoyed my literature classes in high school and knew I wanted to pursue a degree in English. I attended Sacred Heart University in Fairfield, Conn., where I earned a B.A. in English and a minor in media studies. At the time, I worked for the college paper editing the Arts & Entertainment section and was freelancing for the Citizen's News in Naugatuck. Nearly a year after graduation, I started working as one of the editors of a New Haven-based magazine. In December 2015, I began a new career in marketing and communications for a Fortune 500 health care company.
Though I published one piece of fiction in college, I didn't get serious about my writing until 2007, when I read Stephen King's autobiography/writing guide, On Writing. This book had a huge impact on me, and I became more disciplined with my work.
I have published a number of short stories, links to which can be found on the top menu bar. I am also working on several longer projects. My debut book, The Horse Thieves and Other Tales of the New West was released by Hazarous Press in 2014.
Thanks for visiting and enjoy the stories.

Mother's Day is celebrated to honour and show appreciation towards mothers and mother figures worldwide. As it comes once in a year and moms deserve the best, everyone wishes to make this day remarkable and look for different ways to make their mom feel out of the world. Don't scratch your head too much, here are six amazing ways to make your Mother's Day special and memorable.
The gift need not be expensive or complicated but it should definitely be thoughtful. As we know flowers are the keys to heart, so wish your mother with a bouquet of her favourite flowers as a token of love and care to make this day memorable for her. A special choice for Mother's Day is a bouquet of purple irises that symbolize faith and hope. Perhaps the most popular flower for this occasion is the white carnation. Don't forget to write a thoughtful and hearty note for her and list a few reasons why you appreciate her so much.
House work can take a lot of upkeep and your mother might always busy in doing so. How about relieving your mom's daily load of work a little load a bit by doing some chores for her so she has nothing else to do but just relax with a cool and stress-free mind? Your mom will definitely appreciate your thoughtful efforts and this will bring a smile on her face.
Every celebration is incomplete without a delicious cake. Be it Mother's Day or any special celebration, greeting her with a cake would mean a lot to her. A red velvet cake is perfect as an amazing and delightful Mother's Day present to celebrate the spirit of motherhood. With Mother's Day cake delivery option at your doorstep now, you can surprise her at midnight and see her getting overwhelmed with love.
No gift can be better than spending a whole day with your mom and doing her favourite things with her. Your presence is priceless for her. You can just watch movies and catch up all day, or take her out to her favourite place, treating her to whatever she likes. Show her how important she is to you.
Does your mom usually do most of the cooking? Give her a break and cook a delicious meal for her or perhaps her favourite dish. This will be the best way to make her feel special and happy.
A personal touch to any gift can make it unique and worth remembering. Instead of buying a plain generic piece of jewellery, try a personalized gift and see the magic of this beautiful gift. You can gift a personalized mug where you can have your favourite photograph printed over it or a heart-shaped pendant where you can personalize your photos. Just imagine your mother's happiness to have a lovely locket with photos of her kids. She'll treasure it forever.

Habu Gumel re-elected NOC supremo
Adegboyega Olowoporuko
At the Nigeria Olympic Committee's (NOC) annual electoral congress, which took place yesterday in Jalingo, the capital of Taraba state, the incumbent president, Engr Habu Gumel, was re-elected with 21 votes to his closest competitor, Engr Sani Ndanusa, who got 19 votes.
The 42 delegates at the NOC's 2022 annual general meeting and elective congress, which took place in the executive chambers of the Government House in Jalingo, Taraba State, cast their ballots.
Also, Tunde Popoola, who left as Secretary General of NOC four years ago, has returned to the position after narrowly defeating two other contenders. Toyin Aluko (5) and Samuel Adeyinka (2) were far behind the former hockey international, who received 24 votes (11).

Gumel is the longest-serving President of NOC, having just been re-elected for a fifth term in that position.
Gumel stressed that the election was not meant to cause discord within the committee but to strengthen it in his acceptance speech. Therefore, he encouraged everyone to work together for Nigeria's benefit at the 2024 Olympics.
According to Gumel, "these elections were not meant to divide the Olympic family but rather to strengthen our democratic process and further strengthen our sporting value principles, as one harmonious unit, in line with globally accepted best practices."
He said he wanted to figure out how to strengthen the NOC's finances to meet their goals.
"One thing that this new administration will endeavour to focus on in the next four years is how to position the NOC family on a formidable financial platform that will ensure the delivery of stakeholders' expectations. This is one objective we all have to pursue vigorously jointly," he said.
Meanwhile, Olabisi Joseph, President of the Nigeria School Sports Federation (NSSF), was voted as the fourth Vice President of the NOC, receiving 23 votes to Rahinatu Garba's nine and Hauwa Kulu-Adeyemi's 5.
Solomon Ogba, a former president of the Athletics Federation of Nigeria (AFN), defeated Francis Orbih, president of the Badminton Federation of Nigeria (BFN), 24-16, to become the first Vice President of the NOC.
Vice President Ishaku Tikon returned to his post as president of the Nigeria Table Tennis Federation (NTTF), while Assistant Secretary-General Abdullahi was elected unopposed.
Musa Kida, president of the Nigeria Basketball Federation (NBBF), was also elected as the treasurer of NOC. At the same time, Tony Nezianya, Olufemi Adetula's predecessor, was voted to the position of Public Relations Officer (PRO).
Olumide Oyedeji, a former basketball team captain, defeated Daniel Igali, the president of the Wrestling Federation of Nigeria and the commissioner for sports in Bayelsa State, to become the third Vice President.

Quick Q+A: Mike Fotis + Strike Theater
Even though MPLS + STPL has established scenes for comedy, storytelling, and spoken word, the different showcases frequently bounce around between a few regular venues or piggyback on other events. That's all about to change in a big way with the launch of Strike Theater, a brand new venue in Northeast MPLS kickstarted by Allison Broeren, Joe Bozic, and Mike Fotis that caters to and combines the three styles of material and performance into one cool space.
Ahead of this weekend's grand launch and gala rewards parties at Strike, we checked in with co-founder and Director Of Fill In The Blank Awesomeness Fotis about their incredible fundraising, the weekend's shows, their rogues gallery of initial performers, and more.
Secrets of the City: Is the Strike Theater kickstarter—which was actually met, and even surpassed!—the most successful kickstarter of all time? What are your fundraising secrets. (Please tell us!)
Mike Fotis: It definitely the most successful kickstarter of all time…that I've been a part of.
Seriously though, it was successful because we're trying to create a space for original comedic work, storytelling and spoken word. That type of space doesn't exist and it seemed like people were excited to help make that vision come true.
How many "Mike's sexy eating" kickstarter rewards do you need to fulfill?
About 10. I've recorded them a few times. One time I lost the hard drive they were on and the other time the files simply crashed. I got to get back on it. But there's a chance my eating has gotten TOO sexy for technology to handle.
The new theater is located in the Thorp Building, also home to Tattersall Distilling. Aren't you very, very worried that the proximity will either inhibit productivity or make you all very very creative?
So far, in my experience, it has made me VERY VERY CREATIVE.
How do you see the intersection of sketch comedians, storytellers, and poets here in MPLS + STPL, especially performance space-wise?
I think it will be really interesting and rewarding because not only is a physical space necessary to create new and fun work, but it will allow for relationships and collaborations to form that otherwise might not have. Basically when creative people are allowed to be around other creative people, really good things tend to happen.
We're excited to finally have a theater space that can do whatever the hell it wants because it's politically untouchable—what other favors will Strike Theater leverage out of Javier Morillo besides his opening weekend set?
Hahaha. I don't know about that, but I do know that Javier is an amazing storyteller and partnering with the SEIU is exciting because the members of the union will have a place to tell their stories and create their work and we think that's really important. Also, this type of partnership is unique and a sign of how arts orgs can find ways to exist and succeed in a very expensive world.
Will Strike Theater become the Sixth Humor of Four Humors' troupe?
No, but we sure do love them and look forward to working with them a lot.
There's a bunch of other great performers lined up for opening weekend and the vibe is going to be crazy. What are you most looking forward to? What should attendees most look forward to?
I'm most looking forward to standing in the back of the theater with Allison and Joe during the show and taking a moment to enjoy seeing something that has taken a long time to come together finally come to life. Attendees should look forward to a really fun night filled with a lineup that is weird and hilarious and amazing. It's groups paired with groups that normally wouldn't be paired together and I think that's really beautiful.
Even if you didn't back their kickstarter, tickets for the Friday and Saturday night opening night(s) festivities for brand spanking new Strike Theater are still available to you.

Topical Questions
Volume 541: debated on Monday 5 March 2012
T1. If he will make a statement on his departmental responsibilities. (97713)
The Secretary of State for Work and Pensions
(Mr Iain Duncan Smith)
The Welfare Reform Bill is expected to receive Royal Assent later this week and will mark an important moment, cementing a new contract with the country that states that we will protect the most vulnerable and provide a system that is fair to the taxpayer by making sure through universal credit that work will pay. I believe that those changes are long overdue and I am grateful to all in this House who have helped to get them on the statute book.
Mr Wilson
The shadow Chancellor claims today that families are better off on benefits, where so many were trapped during 13 years of complex Labour reforms. Will my right hon. Friend reassure the House that he will change all that with the universal benefit and make it his mission to ensure that no family is better off on benefits?
Mr Duncan Smith
I can confirm to my hon. Friend that the whole purpose of the Welfare Reform Bill, including the universal credit, which is at the heart of it, is that people will be better off in work than on benefits. I am always astounded by the fact that although many Opposition Members quite legitimately say that they support the universal credit, during its passage through this House and the other place they have never actually voted for it.
Mr Liam Byrne
(Birmingham, Hodge Hill) (Lab)
I want to bring the House's attention back to the question asked by my hon. Friend the Member for Stockport (Ann Coffey). She has exposed an important truth: a couple on the minimum wage were £3,000 better off in work under Labour but after the changes that will be made in April they will be £700 better off on benefits. Will the Secretary of State tell us how many people he expects to give up work because they will no longer be better off in a job?
I do not expect anyone to give up work, because the jobcentres and the jobcentre staff will work with people to ensure that, as far as possible, they work up the hours and take advantage of the benefits that come with working more hours. I say to the right hon. Gentleman, as ever, and to the Opposition that they behave as though when they left office they left a perfect situation, but they left a massive deficit and debts piling up. He was the one who said at the time that there was no money left, so perhaps he would like to tell us where he was going to get the money from to pay off some of the deficit.
Mr Byrne
Let me give the Secretary of State a simple lesson in economics: the more people who are in work, the more tax comes into the Treasury; the more people who are on the dole, the more we pay out in welfare payments. That is why welfare payments are going through the roof. The Work programme is in chaos, the Minister for the Armed Forces is saying that there is a crisis in the funding model, and now we find out that people will be better off on benefits than in work. Will the Secretary of State promise us that in the Budget he will fix the situation whereby it no longer pays to go out and get a job?
The only group that is in chaos is the Opposition. First, they have completely failed to admit and recognise that they left this economy in a desperate state. Secondly, they said that they supported key measures in the Welfare Reform Bill but have never voted for them. They also voted against some of their own measures, which we carried through in our Bill. The reality is that the right hon. Gentleman's economics do not add up: going on a spending spree, spending £150 billion on benefits and achieving nothing is a failure.
T2. Will my right hon. Friend advise us what steps he is taking to ensure that benefit fraud is reduced? (97714)
We have a whole series of measures. We recently introduced a new fraud and error strategy, which is already having some success. Future fraud will be reduced now, and agreed by the Office for Budget Responsibility in a sense, but we will reduce future fraud right now by £237 million. The plan and target is for us to reduce it by about £1.4 billion by March 2015. These are major measures over and above what we were left by the Opposition, who seemed quite content to watch fraud and error spiral out of control.

T3. As you know, Mr Speaker, the Wedgwood museum in Stoke-on-Trent is one of the greatest museums in the world and is facing the liquidation of its collection due to faulty pension legislation. The problem lies with the 2008 occupational pension schemes regulation and the last man standing principle, which leaves a solvent employer liable for the whole of the deficit in a multi-employer scheme. That was never meant to apply to charitable collections. Will the Minister review that legislation before we sacrifice more of our national heritage to the lawyers? (97715)
The Minister of State, Department for Work and Pensions
(Steve Webb)
When any charity or other organisation joins a last man standing pension scheme, it is important that it take proper advice about the liabilities it is taking on. Obviously, that is a general observation. On this specific case, the Under-Secretary of State for Culture, Olympics, Media and Sport, the hon. Member for Wantage (Mr Vaizey), has spoken to the chairman of the Pension Protection Fund about the Wedgwood museum, has explained the importance of the collection for the nation and has asked her whether she can find a way of preventing the collection from being broken up. That is something we all want to see.
Greg Mulholland
(Leeds North West) (LD)
T4. My constituent Vicki Gilbert relies on the disability living allowance mobility component, which gets her the blue parking badge she needs to go about her daily life. Despite the fact that she is an amputee with no possibility of recovery, she has been forced to go through periodic reassessment, and because of the backlog she has had to wait five weeks without a blue parking badge. Does the Minister agree that the process is superfluous in such situations, and will she look at this issue so that others in similar circumstances do not have to wait for their badge? (97716)
I feel an Adjournment debate coming on, and it will not be long.
The Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Work and Pensions
(Maria Miller)
I know that blue badges are incredibly important for disabled people in getting out and about and I understand the hon. Gentleman's concerns. The Under-Secretary of State for Transport, my hon. Friend the Member for Lewes (Norman Baker), is looking into the issues to do with blue badges, and I will make sure that he is aware of the comments that have been made.
T6. Further to the question asked by my hon. Friend the Member for Cumbernauld, Kilsyth and Kirkintilloch East (Gregg McClymont) from the Front Bench, do Ministers agree that the current restrictions on the National Employment Savings Trust that restrict transfers and limit the amount that can be saved each year diminish the pressure on other established providers to bring down their excess costs and charges? While the Government are reflecting on this, surely they are missing an opportunity to make pensions more affordable for everyone. (97719)
The previous Government put those restrictions in place for a good reason—to try to make sure that NEST focused on the bottom end of the market. NEST has had a positive effect and new entrants have come into the market, but we are continuing to look at that issue because we are determined to make sure that people have a choice of good-value, low-cost pension providers.
Tessa Munt
(Wells) (LD)
T5. My constituent Gillian Reeves is actively looking for work and is expanding her skills, knowledge and experience by volunteering for local voluntary organisations and charities in Somerset. Will the Secretary of State give some clarity to those who are keen to be out of the house and busy doing something useful but are advised by their jobcentre that they must limit their volunteering to 16 hours a week or lose their jobseeker's allowance? (97717)
(Chris Grayling)
We now actively encourage people to volunteer. I prefer to see people out of the house and doing things. They have an obligation to keep up their job search while they do so, but I shall happily discuss this specific case because it certainly is not our intention that people's volunteering opportunities should be limited.
Kerry McCarthy
(Bristol East) (Lab)
One of my constituents recently had his adoption allowance cut because his child received disability living allowance. We managed to get that overturned but can the Minister make sure that guidelines are issued so that adoption allowance is not cut when DLA, which is intended to meet essential needs, is received?
Maria Miller
I thank the hon. Lady for that question. Disability living allowance is not linked to employment or income, so I shall look into the issue she raises in more detail.
Neil Carmichael
(Stroud) (Con)
T7. The Work programme is proving to be much needed and effective, but may I seek reassurance from the Secretary of State that there will be downstream activity from contracts so that small businesses and local community projects can also participate in delivering outcomes? (97720)
Chris Grayling
That is indeed happening. We now have several hundred voluntary sector organisations providing support to the Work programme in various ways, some on a localised level in local communities. They are an important part of the team delivering the project. It is a partnership between the public, private and voluntary sectors and it is making a difference to unemployed people, despite the attempts of the Opposition to put about negative stories which are completely without foundation.
Dr Eilidh Whiteford
(Banff and Buchan) (SNP)
I have a constituent with a degenerative, very painful condition who is due to lose his employment support allowance in two weeks. He feels a long way from the labour market. He also does not think he will be attractive to employers because of the degenerative nature of his illness, but to date he has had no advice or support from anyone about how he might go about getting the kind of job that he might be able to do. What advice would the Minister give my constituent?
We clearly have had to take a difficult decision on time-limiting, which we have debated extensively in the House. It will apply only to people who have another form of household income or who have savings in the bank. Everyone on ESA is entitled to volunteer for participation in the Work programme, so my advice to the hon. Lady's constituent would be to discuss his situation with the jobcentre. There is specialist support available for people with health conditions and disabilities.
Pauline Latham
(Mid Derbyshire) (Con)
T9. What progress is being made to encourage people to get the best value for money when buying an annuity? (97722)
My hon. Friend raises an important issue. When people have saved for a pension, it is vital that they get the best possible pension out of it, and that may not be from the company they have saved with. That is why I very much welcome today's Association of British Insurers code, which will be mandatory for members of the ABI and will make it much more natural that shopping around becomes the default, rather than something that one has actively to seek out.
Mark Lazarowicz
(Edinburgh North and Leith) (Lab/Co-op)
What are the Government's plans for the future, if any, of the Department's contract with Atos?
The Department's contract with Atos runs until 2015. We have taken no decisions about how the contracting structure will work beyond that point. Consistency of provision was necessary through the incapacity benefit reassessment process, but we will not take decisions on the detailed structure of the renewal of that contract for some while to come.
Does my right hon. Friend agree that rather than let the Socialist Workers party and their protest groups continue to confuse a good programme such as work experience with others, we should congratulate not only the companies that are doing so much for young people, but the young people who are taking up the scheme and have the motivation to build their CVs?
As ever, my hon. Friend has hit the nail on the head. Work experience is a great programme, which is helping lots of young people to get into work at a reasonable cost to the Exchequer. Those two things need to be borne in mind. It is no good the Opposition sitting quiet, watching while trade unions back these anarchists and try to stop decent people getting into work.
Hugh Bayley
(York Central) (Lab)
People diagnosed with mesothelioma—141 former railway carriage builders in York have now died—can often claim compensation from their employer. The earlier they get compensation, the less they and their dependants need in benefits, so will the Secretary of State talk to the Secretary of State for Justice about fast-tracking these cases through the courts, as is currently done in the royal courts of justice in London, and making that a nationwide approach?
I am happy to have that conversation. We are also working hard with the insurance industry to make sure that we match employees who have suffered from the illness with employers who may have disappeared some years ago, to ensure that we find the employers liability insurance policies that can pay those employees the compensation that they so desperately need.
Anna Soubry
(Broxtowe) (Con)
My constituent Andrew Taylor relies on the Motability scheme in order that he can work and live independently. His concern is that the personal independence payment thresholds will interfere with that. What assurance can the Minister give him, please?
I entirely understand the importance of mobility and being able to get out and about for disabled people. It is our intention that Motability should continue to be linked to the new PIP scheme. I take my hon. Friend's comments into account.
Toby Perkins
(Chesterfield) (Lab)
Beverley Herbert in my constituency was one of six people recently employed on a work experience basis by a major pub chain. Within four weeks, four of the others had gone, and the two people who were there for eight weeks collecting glasses were given permanent jobs, but were sacked within two weeks. Does the Secretary of State agree that for the work experience programme to enjoy widespread confidence, safeguards are needed to ensure that it does not end up exploiting people and providing free labour?
If Labour Members really want to answer the questions about the work experience scheme, they need to talk to some of the young people who have been through it, got jobs in their thousands and are delighted by the support they have received. That is what a responsible Government do: try to tackle a real challenge, find the right way to solve it and do so in a cost-effective way for the taxpayer. It is just a shame that the Labour party is not more vociferous in its support for what we are doing.
Stephen Metcalfe
(South Basildon and East Thurrock) (Con)
Does my right hon. Friend agree that it is a great shame that the Labour party seems unable to get behind the work experience programme and condemn the protests out of hand, and will he tell the House why he thinks that might be the case?
I have been wondering about that. Some right hon. and hon. Members—and some more so than others—have been conspicuous by their absence in this debate, and I sometimes wonder whether their trade union paymasters have something to do with their staying quiet throughout this whole debate.
Mr Wayne David
(Caerphilly) (Lab)
The Welsh Assembly's Labour Government have an initiative to help unemployed young people called Jobs Growth Wales. Do the central Government support it?
We support any sensible measures to tackle youth unemployment, because it is a challenge for all of us. The hon. Gentleman needs to answer this question: why is his hon. Friend the Member for Hayes and Harlington (John McDonnell) chairing a protest movement that is designed to stop young people getting the work experience opportunities that would get them into work and do the right thing for them?
Order. The hon. Member for Hayes and Harlington (John McDonnell) will not be answering anything now in the Chamber and is under no obligation to do so, but I know that the Prime Minister looks forward to doing so after his statement.

"Only Soldiers Can Enter" – The Blue Danube (IFFR 2021 Film Review)
ByDavid Cuevas
David Cuevas takes a look at 'The Blue Danube', as part of FilmHounds' ongoing International Film Festival of Rotterdam coverage.
The legacy of the antiwar sub-genre has been a prominent staple of cinema since its humble origins. For example, hints of political commentary can be traced back to the works of Méliès and other illustrious auteurs. Especially in our current era — with the great perils of the First and Second World War completely shifting the cultural sphere in a radical new light — the past couple of decades in cinema have prominently served different interpretations of conflict and violence. This includes the innovation and horrific utilisation of the Atom bomb, where works regarding the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki have been frequently referenced, analysed, and re-interpreted in various different film productions. This isn't anything particularly new per-say, but the influences throughout the last century have been more than just a footnote in our dark chapter of 20th-century history. I say this purely for the sake of historical context, when contrasting the style and refreshing narrative flare of Ikeda Akira's The Blue Danube.
In our current environment saturated with miserable attempts at war-infused social commentary, Akira's contemporary reimagining about the dangers of authoritarianism, fascism, nationalism, and militarism frequently questions positions of power through articulated character archetypes. In terms of its deeper routes, there's nothing particularly new being stated within The Blue Danube. However, it's ultimately all in the film's execution and blend of deadpan comedy & careful subversion of cliche's that fulfil a palatable experience.

Still Courtesy – IFFR
In terms of its cinematic language, there's a static directional nature throughout each frame. Everything is flat, just like the lives of each of the film's depicted characters. Yet, that is precisely the point — where through careful repetition of dialogue — each of the interpreted archetypes are given a notable role, scene, or even just a simple memorable moment. There's pieces of distinct humanity and cruelty in each of the characters; even those upholding a fascist mentality. Set in a fictional city divided by a lazy river, where both opposing ends are in constant conflict with one-another — Akira's constant dedication in keeping his characters as flat, emotionless, and repetitive as possible is an admirable feat in and of itself.
Occasionally, the deadpan pastiche does become slowly grading when in contrast with some of its more lesser moments of narrative exposition— yet it's the Pinteresque execution that sustains the film's unique commentary afloat throughout all of its 105 minutes. Frequently humorous and consistently amusing, The Blue Danube is a rare case of an anti-war film that avoids any form or resemblance to traditional oversaturated war-flick conventions. Ikeda Akira's latest venture into the surreal is a notable footnote in this year's IFFR program; an insightful and entertaining work of deadpan comedy that never once relies on hypocritical and reductive commentary.
The Blue Danube premiered during the second half of this year's historic Rotterdam Film Festival edition, as part of the Harbour program. The film is currently seeking international distribution.

Trieste is a city and seaport in northeastern Italy. It is situated towards the end of a narrow strip of Italian territory lying between the Adriatic Sea and Slovenia, which lies almost immediately south and east of the city. Trieste is located at the head of the Gulf of Trieste and throughout history it has been influenced by its location at the crossroads of Latin, Slavic, and Germanic cultures. In 2009, it had a population of about 205,000[1] and it is the capital of the autonomous region Friuli Venezia Giulia and Trieste province. Trieste is a city in North-East Italy. Once a very influential and powerful centre of politics, literature, music, art and culture under Austrian-Hungarian dominion, its importance fell into decline towards the end of the 20th century, and today, Trieste is often forgotten as tourists head off to the big Italian cities like Rome and Milan. It is, however, a very charming underestimated city, with a quiet and lovely almost Eastern European atmosphere, several pubs and cafes, some stunning architecture and a beautiful sea view. It was also, for a while, the residence of famous Irish writer James Joyce.
Piran may be the most beautiful of Slovenia's coastal towns. It is perched on a tiny piece of land jutting into the sea. It has the feeling of being more like an Italian coastal town, without all the tourists. Piran was part of the Venetian empire from the late 13th century to the end of the 18th century and also had some influence from Austria-Hungary Empire.
Opatija is a tranquil resort sometimes referred to as "Croatian Monte Carlo" on the sheltered east coast of the Istrian peninsula of Croatia. This village is a complete contrast to the dry Dalmatian coastal towns further south. Green hillsides give way to gardens and parks full of exotic plants down by the ocean. This town was developed in the 1880s specifically as a chic resort. Its mild climate and stunning setting made it a favorite winter destination for the 19th century Austrian and Hungarian aristocracy. Most of the hotels in town were constructed from this period. Opatija's highly jagged and rocky coast is bordered by a shady promenade, the Lungomare, which extends for 12km to the picturesque village of Lovran. Along the way, there are dozens of picturesque secluded coves to stretch out a towel along the rocks and jump into the sea.
Welcome to the Dalmatian Coast. Zadar is the oldest inhabited city in Croatia, and dates back to 59 BC when the city was a Roman municipality featuring traditional Roman infrastructure and early urban planning. The city's modern history includes major transformations during World War II and during the 1990's during the country's war of independence. Enjoy the beautiful streets, amazing architecture, and beautiful culture that the city had to offer.

Proposed Toll Structure of the Panama Canal Benefits Container Shipping Companies
Home » News & Update » Proposed Toll Structure of the Panama Canal Benefits Container Shipping Companies
The Panama Canal Authority (ACP) has announced its plans to modify its existing toll structure to further incentivize the full container vessel market segment to utilize the canal in return voyages. The modifications are a result of the fluctuating demand from containership, LPG, and LNG vessels for the Canal as well as the productive capabilities of the recently built Neopanamax locks.
The new locks were built in 2016 amidst concerns that maritime traders would travel through the Suez Canal instead of the Panama Canal because of the former's capacity to handle larger ships. Now with the Panamax expansion, the Panama Canal has increased its business, as the new locks grant 99 percent of the world's container ships the ability to traverse the Canal.
Along with the Panamax locks, the proposed modifications to the Canal's toll structure aim to bolster the Canal's containership traffic. Panama Canal Administrator Jorge L. Quijano held a public hearing on Wednesday, July fifth after a 32-day formal consultation period for affected parties within the industry. Quijano believes, "The modified tolls will safeguard the Canal's competitiveness, charge a fair price for the value of the route and provide a competitive service to the global shipping industry."
Once negotiated and approved by the government of Panama, this new toll structure would greatly benefit container shipping companies and their client base. While the current political climate in the United States has not been conducive to a growing volume of maritime trade, the prevalence of Free Trade Agreements globally will continue to drive international commerce.

A SUPREME COURT NOMINEE FROM LOUISIANA? FAT CHANCE!
Whoever the President selects to be the next US Supreme Court nominee, you can place your bets that no one from Louisiana or on the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals will be given any consideration whatsoever. Judges on the Fifth Circuit regularly get into verbal altercations, with some being call secrecy freaks, and issuing rulings that have been called by the press as being flat out American. The whole bunch on the Fifth Circuit bench are often referred to as gray mice, and all this is explained in this week's column. It's a shame that in the Deep South, that overwhelmingly supported the President, offers such incompetent choices for promotion. But that's just the way it is.

Just like a proud mama, I am so excited about watching my little seedlings grow from seed and prepare themselves for their life in my garden soon. This weekend was time for all the tomatoes to move into bigger pots.
After a semester of school and working full time, you cannot imagine (or maybe you can) how excited I was to have 70 degrees, sunny and time on Saturday to play in the soil!!!!
The "before" shots show they are ready to move out!
I think one of the best things about being outside with the green babies is getting a farmgirl manicure!
Transplanting began and it went so smoothly. They all popped right into their new "digs" (like the play on words?), I added a bit of started mix and before I knew it I had 60 tomato plants in new pots.
They got a drink of water, had a little sunshine left and got tucked in for the night. Of course, I had to go check on them before I tucked in last night!
Today was another beautiful day, so we moved them outside this afternoon for some sunshine. I cannot imagine how they must have felt with real sunshine rather than the lights they have been sitting under!
This is my first time starting tomatoes from seed. Next stop is the garden which should be in about 10 days. Peppers get transplanted next, they are ready, but I ran out of pots yesterday.
I have not started my own peppers from seed before either. It is another venture and experiment that seems to be working out well.
What is your favorite thing to start inside from seed? Doesn't it make you feel like you are helping spring along a little having a bit of green going while the earth is thawing out?
Hope you are unleashing in the soil today!
