Haus Busch ist ein altes Herrenhaus der Adelsfamilie von Syberg zum Busch in Hagen-Helfe, das seit 1974 der Gesellschaft für publizistische Bildungsarbeit als Sitz und als so genanntes Journalisten-Zentrum des von der Gesellschaft getragenen Deutschen Instituts für publizistische Bildungsarbeit, kurz Haus Busch, diente. Im November 2019 wurde Insolvenzantrag gestellt. Das Haus wurde zum Jahresende 2019 geschlossen.

Geschichte

Der ursprüngliche Stammsitz der Herren von Syberg, als Dienstleute der Kölner Erzbischöfe, lag wahrscheinlich auf der spätestens gegen Mitte des 12. Jahrhunderts erbauten Höhenburg Siburg (Hohensyburg). Sie wurde jedoch 1287/88 durch Graf Eberhard II. von der Mark erobert und die von Syberg traten als Ministeriale zu den Grafen von der Mark über. Spätestens um 1350 hat sich dann ein Zweig der Familie auf Haus Busch an der Lenne und in Blickweite der Hohensyburg angesiedelt, um 18 Jahre später von Dietrich IV. von Volmerstein größeren Grundbesitz und Nutzungsrechte im Raum Hagen zu erwerben. Als erster dieses Geschlechts wurde zwischen 1359 und 1377 der Ritter Hermann von Syberg zum Busche urkundlich erwähnt, als er 1359 den Zehnt zu Fley kauft und 1371 den Everdes Hof in Boele. In einer Urkunde von 1369 wird er als "Hermann van Siborch, dey tom Bussche wonet" bezeichnet. Hermann war damals märkischer Gograf zu Unna, ab 1375 Amtmann der ehemaligen kölnischen Oberhöfe Schwelm und Hagen, mit Amtssitz in Hagen auf "Burg Klippe" an der Volme, und bis zu seinem Tod auch Oberrichter zu Iserlohn.

Die Herren von Syberg zum Busch zählten zum Dienstadel und zu wichtigen Amtsträgern des Grafenhauses Mark bzw. der Herzöge von Kleve-Mark. Sie gehörten zu den begütertsten Adelsfamilien im Raum Hagen mit umfangreichem Landbesitz, größtenteils in den Gemeinden Boele, Helfe, Herbeck und Fley. Haus Busch hatte Obereigentumsrechte an 8 Bauernhöfen und 2 Kotten in Boele und Bathey. Außerdem gehörte ihnen eine Kornmühle, zu der die Bauerschaften Boele, Fley und Halden zwangsmahlpflichtig waren sowie umfangreiche Jagd- und Fischereirechte. Sie betrieben zudem die Lennefähre "Am Cabel" und für die später errichtete Lennebrücke musste ihnen bis in das 19. Jahrhundert Brückenzoll bezahlt werden. Im Jahr 1511 wurden die von Syberg mit Haus Hagen belehnt und sie erwarben im Laufe der Zeit auch die Herrschaft über den Adelshof Haase zu Boele, sowie dem Freigut zu Dorboile (Helfe). Bei der Aufteilung der Boeler Mark (1770) und Howalder Mark (1771) erhielt Haus Busch als Haupterbe den weitaus größten Anteil des Markenbesitzes.

Der Adelssitz der Herren von Syberg zum Busch nahe der Lenne war ursprünglich ein steinerner Wohnturm mit angeschlossenem Versorgungshof. Das heute noch vorhandene Herrenhaus mit dem eindrucksvollen Kellergewölbe wurde um 1700 von Johann Gisbert von Syberg unter Erweiterung des mittelalterlichen Wohnturms errichtet. Nach einem Plan von 1772 war das Herrenhaus – ebenso wie die später entstandene Vorburg – in jener Zeit von einer Gräfte umgeben, die vorne vom Portal aus und auf der Rückseite zum Garten hin jeweils über eine Steinbrücke überquert wurde. Im 18./19. Jahrhundert erfolgten weitere Um- und Ausbauten. Um 1850 wurde hinter dem Herrenhaus ein Park im Stil eines englischen Landschaftsgartens angelegt. Im Zuge von Umbauarbeiten wurde in den 1930er Jahren im Keller des Herrenhauses ein aus Bronze gegossenes Rohr einer Hakenbüchse aus dem 15./16. Jahrhundert entdeckt, vermutlich im früheren Wohnturm als Verteidigungswaffe benutzt.

Johann Gisbert von Syberg zum Busch (1678–1753) war königlich preußischer Geheimer Rat und Justizpräsident von Kleve und Mark. Er wurde als erster der Familie zum Freiherrn ernannt. Sein Enkelsohn Friedrich Freiherr von Syberg zum Busch (1761–1827) heiratete 1786 auf Haus Busch Luise von Bodelschwingh zu Velmede (1755–1818). Nach dem frühen Tod ihres Sohnes erbte Tochter Eleonore (1788–1826) Haus Busch. Eleonore heiratete am 19. Mai 1810 Ludwig Freiherr von Vincke (1774–1844), den späteren ersten Oberpräsidenten der neu gegründeten Provinz Westfalen. Das Ehepaar bekam sechs lebende Kinder und wohnte auf Haus Busch, Gut Ickern und im Schloss Münster, dem Amtssitz Ludwigs von Vincke. Nach dem Tod Eleonores Vater im Jahr 1827 kam Haus Busch an die Adelsfamilie von Vincke, von der es teils selbst bewirtschaftet, teils verpachtet wurde. Haus Busch war Geburts- und Elternhaus des ältesten Sohnes, des bekannten Politikers Georg Freiherr von Vincke (1811–1875). Landrat des Kreises Hagen von 1837 bis 1848. Berühmt durch sein Duell 1852 mit Otto von Bismarck. Der zweitälteste Sohn Gisbert Freiherr von Vincke (1813–1892) wurde als Dichter und Schriftsteller bekannt. Nach ihrem Ableben fanden Ludwig und Georg von Vincke sowie weitere Familienmitglieder im nahe gelegenen Buschbachwald, in einem heute denkmalgeschützten Erbbegräbnis von Haus Busch, ihre letzte Ruhe.

Haus Busch war ein beliebter Treffpunkt namhafter preußischer Staatsmänner, so des Reichsfreiherrn vom Stein, der in Wetter als preußischer Oberbergrat tätig war, oder des Freiherrn Friedrich von Hövel aus dem benachbarten Haus Herbeck. Im Jahr 1808 hatte Ludwig von Vincke auf Haus Busch eine geheime Besprechung mit dem Freikorpsführer Adolf von Lützow wegen der Vorbereitung der Erhebung gegen Napoleon.

Ab 1919 war auf dem Adelssitz der Hauptmann a. D. und Freikorpsführer Franz Pfeffer von Salomon (1888–1968) Gutspächter. Haus Busch entwickelte sich mit ihm in der Aufbauphase der nationalsozialistischen Partei zu einem Anlaufpunkt für das damalige NS-Führerkorps. Im November 1928 erwarb die Stadt Hagen den alten Adelssitz, verpachtete die Ländereien zur landwirtschaftlichen Nutzung, während die Gutsgebäude seit 1933 als Arbeitslager zunächst dem "Stahlhelm-Arbeitsdienst", danach als Lager des "Reichsarbeitsdienstes für die weibliche Jugend", diente. Von 1936 bis 1943 plante die Stadt im Herrenhaus eine Gedenkstätte für den früheren westfälischen Oberpräsidenten Ludwig von Vincke sowie – in Erinnerung an seinen einwöchigen Besuch im Juni 1926 – für Adolf Hitler (1889–1945) einzurichten, zu deren Verwirklichung es dann aber nicht kam.

Nach dem Zweiten Weltkrieg richtete für mehrere Jahre das Hagener Marienhospital ein Altersheim im Herrenhaus von Haus Busch ein, während Teile der Wirtschaftsgebäude an die Märkische Bullenhaltungsgenossenschaft verpachtet waren. In dem 1868 erbauten ehemaligen westlichen Wirtschaftsgebäude befindet sich heute die Biologische Station des Umweltzentrums Hagen.

Deutsches Institut für publizistische Bildungsarbeit

Die Gesellschaft für publizistische Bildungsarbeit wurde 1960 in Düsseldorf, vorrangig von Emil Dovifat und Karl Bringmann gegründet, die in den 1950er Jahren dort den ersten Zeitungsfachlichen Fortbildungskurs als Vorläufer der heute üblichen Volontärseminare eröffnet hatten. 1974 zog das zwischenzeitlich gegründete Deutsche Institut für publizistische Bildungsarbeit ins Hagener Haus Busch um. In dem Institut wurden Journalisten in Kurzzeitkursen aus- und weitergebildet.

Im Altbau befanden sich die Institutsverwaltung mit Büros, kleinere Seminarräume und eine Präsenzbibliothek. Das Kellergewölbe wurde als Kneipe Buschkeller genutzt. In modernisierten und erweiterten Nebengebäuden befanden sich Hörsäle und die Kantine sowie der zum Journalisten-Zentrum gehörende Hotelbetrieb.

Haus Busch war außerdem Sitz der vom ehemaligen Handelsblatt-Herausgeber Friedrich Vogel gegründeten Vogel-Stiftung sowie der deutschsprachigen Sektion der Society for News Design (SND).

Im Juni 2005 wurde bekannt, dass Haus Busch nach Kürzung der Zuschüsse vom Land NRW und nach angekündigtem Austritt der Verlegerverbände (Bundesverband Deutscher Zeitungsverleger BDZV und Zeitungsverlegerverband NRW) aus der Trägergesellschaft unmittelbar vor der Insolvenz steht, die im Juli auch angemeldet wurde. Vor allem der drastische Rückgang der Teilnehmerzahlen für die angebotene einjährige Ausbildung zum Pressestellenjournalisten oder Multimedia-NewsDesigner, die pro Person rund 9.000 Euro kostet, wurde als ursächlich für die Finanzschwierigkeiten benannt. Grund für den Rückgang war die wegen Hartz IV wegfallende staatliche Förderung, insbesondere der Übernahme der Wohnkosten in Haus Busch.

Das Journalistenzentrum hat am 15. November 2019 angekündigt, den Betrieb zum 31. Dezember einzustellen. Laut Pressemitteilung lief zum einen die Nutzungsvereinbarung mit der Stadt Hagen aus, zum anderen stelle der Trägerverein seinen Betrieb ein. Hintergrund sei laut Pressemitteilung eine hohe Rückforderung von Fördermitteln des Landes Nordrhein-Westfalen aus den Jahren 2010–2017, die der Verein in dieser Höhe nicht leisten könne.

Zum 1. Januar 2020 hat das neu gegründete Journalistenzentrum Herne im Shamrockpark Herne als faktischer Nachfolger seinen Geschäftsbetrieb aufgenommen.

BREAKING: DSS Alerts The Public Of Immediate Plans By External Forces To Incite Religious Violence In Kaduna, Sokoto, Kano, Plateau, Rivers, Oyo, Lagos, All South-East States
The Department of State Security Services, DSS, has on Monday, alleged that some individuals are plotting to incite religious violence in some major States in the country, .
The DSS disclosed this in a statement titled: 'Plots to incite religious violence in Nigeria', signed by its spokesperson, Peter Afunanya.
The DSS warned that some worship centres and religious Leaders may be attacked.
The statement read: "The Department of State Services wishes to alert the public about plans by some elements working with external forces to incite religious violence across the country. Targeted States include Sokoto, Kano, Kaduna, Plateau, Rivers, Oyo, Lagos, and those in the South-East.
"Part of the plans is to cause inter-religious conflicts, as well as use their foot soldiers to attack some worship centres, religious leaders, personalities, key and vulnerable points.
"Consequently, Nigerians are advised to be wary of these antics, and shun all divisive tendencies aimed at inciting or setting them against one another.
"While the Service pledges to collaborate with sister Agencies to ensure that public order is maintained, those hatching these plots are warned to desist from such, in the interest of peace, security, and development of the country.
"However, law-abiding citizens (and residents) are encouraged to report suspected breaches of peace around them to the nearest Security Agencies."

The blind leading the blind
Why Troy Deeney's comments on sporting role models don't go far enough
Peter Kelly
In early March, Watford striker Troy Deeney, during an interview on knife crime reduction and social media, made a significant comment on footballing culture. He noted that it would be "lazy" to call footballers and celebrities role models, something one would think is common in our modern age. However, it caught the attention of media outlets across the footballing world, dividing many, including myself, who saw it as yet another example of both football's hypocrisy, and idiocy, in "tackling" wider societal issues.
There was considerable debate around whether Deeney was correct, and whether children can indeed benefit from looking up to their favorite sporting stars. Regardless of this, it is clear in my eyes that sports fanatics and media outlets have been ignorant in their considerations. Asking whether sports stars should be idolised, immortalised, and canonised ahead of role models such as family members or other members of society, shows that they have missed the true question; whether they deserve to even be called role models in the first place.
Often we look at the typical footballer as someone with an immense work ethic and physical ability. Who wouldn't want to emulate such attributes? As a college student who has set foot in his gym only twice since beginning my course, this certainly seems attractive. Yet in our world such characteristics will only carry us so far. These stars offer us no insight into emotional understanding, personal relationships, or other intimate details of our social lives. Or do we rather idolise them for their big houses, flashy cars, and flashy branding deals with Nike, Adidas, and the likes? Regardless, these are not sufficient to grow as a person.
Looking back on my golden years of football fanaticism, I look somewhat fondly on the great 2007/08 Manchester United front three of Tevez, Ronaldo, and Rooney. While appreciating their footballing prowess, in my hopefully wiser, post-pubescent years I can't help but think of them prosaically as: the man guilty of speeding and ignoring court letters, the adulterer who turned to prostitution, and the man who evaded almost €19 million in taxes, alongside paying off those who accused him of rape.
"It is possible to separate the man from his craft, and that is something that should be done here."
We can squabble over the motivations and context of these moral trainwrecks, but can we honestly say that we would want the youth of tomorrow to follow in their footsteps? No one can deny that these players have, in past years, remained at the pinnacle of their sport, with all three courting high profile media coverage following transfer moves, numerous Champions League victories, and a "career revival" in Major League Soccer. However, it is possible to separate the man from his craft, and that is something that should be done here.
This makes it immediately clear that, when Troy Deeney says that we should turn to other figures in our community before we turn to our puritan sports stars, he has missed the point. We need to ask ourselves whether these sports deserve to be turned to in the first place, and in many cases, the answer is that they simply do not.
One might argue that people with such work ethic, ability, and a platform which has the potential to be used for good, might warrant being given a second chance. However, this is simply not the case. Players are like all of us, in that they do a job, they get paid, and they go home; albeit being paid astronomical amounts of money to return to their astronomically-sized homes. They simply do not deserve to be given a pass on their transgressions, no matter how egregious, just because of their sporting ability.
"It is the blind eye turned to these issues that is the problem."
However, this is what the modern game practices. We have seen Wayne Rooney invited to return to the England lineup for a final appearance, heralded as a national hero at the end of last year. In the eyes of an impressionable teenager, who in the age of technology, would inevitably be aware of Wayne Rooney's past wrongdoings, is it simply a question of ignoring one's wrongdoing and moving on? What type of message does this send to young people about responsibility and consequences?
Furthermore, the position of sporting institutions show exactly why this is an issue, as they exercise a backwards and ignorant view on the issue of player morality and idolisation. However, this is not to say that institutions should become moral safeguards or policing institutions. It is the blind eye turned to these issues that is the problem. Should footballers be simply marketed as the sometimes disappointing players that they are, it would be inevitable that leagues would lose their appeal.
Deeney's comments once again show the arrogance of the modern game. This is one view which shows an insular, naive view of sportsmen, as moral arbiters of the modern world. Simply put, they show us that it is ok to move past wrongdoing, generally without consequence, and almost definitely with no sign of remorse.
His idea that we should focus on members of our communities, or family members, while true, is misunderstood. It is not simply a debate that suggests that sports stars should be considered second to members of the wider community, but it is one that should ask whether they deserve to be recognised at all. This, in the context of countless sporting scandals has led one to ask whether they can really see the benefits of, and revel in what clearly falls short of being the "beautiful game".

Land and Conflict
Up to one quarter of the world's population is estimated to be landless. For decades, indigenous people all around the globe have been fighting for their land rights. Although most people spend a large part of their lives in places where food is produced, they rarely own their own land.
 United Nations Photo
The likelihood of conflict increases substantially when a large population of people owning little or no land has limited livelihood opportunities. Agitation is usually directed towards those people who are seen as having an undeserved but profitable hold on land, as can be seen in many countries where only a few great land owners and corporate groups own the land.
In some cases this unfair distribution of land is a result of colonisation; in others it has happened through later land expropriation. In most cases it is unclear who the estate belongs to, with the land mostly inhabited by indigenous people or peasants whose only chance of survival is access to a piece of land. In places like India, Latin America or Africa, more than half of the population earns its living from farming and supplying the local population with food. Not owning land means first of all dependence and most of all hunger.
Land is more than a piece of arable land. Land is a strategic socio-economic asset, particularly in poor societies where wealth and survival are measured by control and access to land. Land estate means cultural and social identity. In some domestic contexts, recognition of citizenship is also attached to ownership of land.
A lack of clearly defined and circumscribed land rights is intrinsically linked to poverty, conflict and most of all chronic hunger. People are banished and lose their basic nourishment which can result in migration to cities and the formation of urban slums.
Landless People All Over the World
"Give us a piece of land" demands the leader of a Landless movement in Tamil Nadu, India, where 70 percent of the population lives from agriculture but only a small proportion of the people can call a piece of land their own. In the state of Andhra Pradesh, also called the "Rice bowl of India", 10 percent of the rural population is absolutely landless, a further 36 percent owns less than half an acre of land, and only six percent of the rural households own more than five acres of land.
For decades, indigenous communities and peasants in Brazil, Columbia, Ecuador, Peru or India have been banished from their soil and territories because of private mineral, oil or mining projects or by woodcutters.
In Brazil an estimated three percent of the population owns two thirds of all arable land. Having lost most of their ancestral lands to sugar cane and other plantations, some 45 thousand Guarani people in Mato Grosso do Sul for example now live in extreme poverty and are unable to exercise their rights to their ancestral lands.
In Peru, where 80 per cent of the Amazonian Forest is covered by oil, gas and mining concessions, many of these overlap with indigenous community lands. Decades of drilling have not just reduced tree cover but also contaminated the land and water with toxic chemicals. The effects on local health, environment and livelihoods have been devastating.
Dangerous levels of lead and cadmium (by-products of extractive industries) for example, have been found in the blood of more than half the Achuar children and young people in Northern Peru. The government has called for a state of emergency in the Pastaza, Tigre and Corrientes river basins, but the polluters have yet to be held responsible.
NGOs like Survival International report over and over again on human rights violations against indigenous people or land right activists.
Fertile soil or land which is full of basic commodities is highly sought after and will run short. This is due to the increase of the world's population as well as the conditional climatic change which makes the soil less fertile.
Recently, states like China, Saudi Arabia, South Korea or Kuwait started buying fertile land in the global south (e.g. in Cambodia, Sudan, Tanzania, the Philippines) to try to eliminate hunger in their own nation. Critical observers describe this as "land grabbing".
While governments welcome them as investors, local indigenous communities are banished without any compensation. The International Food Policy Research Institute offers a deeper insight into this issue.
Government land appropriation and resettlement schemes are notorious for causing conflict and tension related to competition for land uses and claims. Frequently, governments appropriate land and forcibly move people when they want to use an area for an incompatible use such as a dam or natural resource development.
Landless People in Action
Elizeu Santos-Neto
There is a growing resistance against the banishment and a desire for the fair distribution of land worldwide. Representatives of indigenous associations in several countries are fighting against concessions to multinational companies which exploit their natural resources.
In Central and South India, the Indian movement Ekta Parishad has offered resistance against banishment for the last 20 years. On 3 October 2012, ten thousand landless poor walked by foot from Gwalior to Delhi to get the Indian government to clarify the issue of land rights.
In Brazil the movement of the landless (Movimento dos Trabalhadores Rurais Sem Terra / Movimento dos Sem Terra, MST) is fighting for rights to land. This movement is one of the most important organisations in Brazil. In 1991, it received the Alternative Nobel prize and was recently designated the most important and exciting movement of the world at the World Social Forum by Noam Chomsky. In other Latin American countries (such as Bolivia, Peru or Paraguay) the number of movements in the last 15 years is rising. Each year, April 17 marks a worldwide protest day of the peasants and landless, organised by La Via Campesina
Land Rights in the International Legal Framework
To whom does the land belong? What is a fair distribution of land? And what have we all got do with it?
Agrarian reforms are on the to-do list of many developing countries, but so far, there has been hardly any progress, and political problems occur especially where there is dispossession of great land owners.
There is no "right to land" codified in international human rights law. Within the international legal framework, rights to land access have been established for particular groups (e.g. indigenous people and women) however, numerous rights are affected by access to land (e.g. food, water, work) and general principles in international law provide protections that relate to access to land. An explicit consideration of the legal implications of access to land for a broad range of human rights is needed.
Even if some countries are not directly involved in this issue, it nevertheless influences their foreign, economic and development policies. Furthermore, each inhabitant of each state worldwide is involved by consuming commodities from other countries. Each individual can influence the situation at least a little by buying fair trade products and by becoming sensitive to this cause.

Hopefully the hustle of the back to school season has settled down by now, or maybe not - if your school starts in October! Anyway, the students should be still full of energy and enthusiasm, they are not bored with studies just yet, and are eagerly taking in the challenges and hard work of the beginning of the school year.
To help you keep your students in that active and welcoming state of mind, here is our collection of 119 October worksheets. Do not hesitate to furiously browse through them in search for amazing and challenging ideas for exciting fall classes (as much as fall can be exciting, that is!), last-minute outdoor activities (weather permitting, of course!) and 'heavy load' lessons (use that productivity students are still well capable of during this time of the year!).
Our 'calendar' worksheets will help you come up with great lesson plans and theme sessions for holidays, events and celebrations - if you can find time for those after all the serious 'stuff' you have on your list already. But if you do find an opportunity to add some cheer to your classroom, the occasions can include World Vegetarian Day, World Animal Day, World Teacher Day (already looking forward to that, aren't you? :)), or Wear Something Gaudy Day. And, of course, do not forget to commemorate Dictionary Day and First Oscar Night with your students.
All the materials are at your disposal absolutely free of charge (you just need to be registered with Busyteacher.org which is also free!).

Jane McCarthy, currently taking a doctorate on 1st Century Rome, gave on illustrated lecture on 'What Not to Say in Imperial Rome'.
Censorship was taken very seriously in Imperial Rome. Under the Republic, the Censor was a high ranking person, appointed to look after morals. Under the Empire, the Emperor took over the office of Censor. Without printing, few copies of literary works were available and could be readily suppressed. Criticism of public figures, particularly of the Emperor or magistrates, became a criminal rather than a civil offense.
Gallus, in charge of Egypt, criticised Augustus and was tried for treason. Augustus took over the office of Chief Priest in 12BC. He ordered the burning of 'dubious prophecies', retaining those that were favorable. Ovid was exiled by the Emperor, without any trial, because of his song 'The Art of Love' and offending Augustus after a power struggle in the Imperial family. Cicero defined treason as 'Anything that lowered the dignity, high estate or authority of a person holding public office'.
By the end of the 1st Century AD, when Trajan became Emperor it was dangerous to speak ill of the Emperor. Senators came to believe that they were free because the Emperor said so.

Macau embraces French flair for its latest mega-resort
Las Vegas Sands to launch The Parisian, a 2,900-room mega-resort with a replica of the Eiffel Tower
It already allows guests to take gondola rides along an indoor Venetian canal, and soon, in its latest journey into European kitsch, Las Vegas Sands will offer visitors to Macau the chance to stroll through the streets of Paris.
Details of the company's latest Macanese mega-resort, The Parisian Macao, were unveiled this week ahead of its launch in late 2016. Billed as "the crowning jewel of [Las Vegas Sands chairman] Sheldon G. Adelson's vision for the Cotai Strip", the new French-themed integrated resort will feature more than 2,900 hotel rooms, more than a third of which will overlook a replica of the Eiffel Tower.
"The original tower in Paris has inspired generations of writers, artists, romantics and lovers to follow their dreams; visitors to Macau will get the same inspirational sense from The Parisian Macao's Eiffel Tower," the company claimed.
The new Eiffel Tower will be half the size of the Paris original, and will feature observation decks and a restaurant offering views towards mainland China.
Other facilities at the complex will include a large casino with 450 table games and 2,500 slot machines, a 1,200-seat theatre, spa and fitness facilities, an outdoor pool and water park, and a large shopping mall featuring more than 150 outlets, specialising in fashion and lifestyle brands, which Las Vegas Sands says will be "reminiscent of Paris' famed Champs Elysees".

WH Auden once said that writing about your life was "using up capital", but this is what makes memoir such a generous form. And Deborah Levy is a most generous writer. What is wonderful about this short, sensual, embattled memoir is that it is not only about the painful landmarks in her life – the end of a marriage, the death of a mother – it is about what it is to be alive.
I can't think of any writer aside from Virginia Woolf (or, perhaps, Helen Simpson) who writes better about the liminal, the domestic, the non-event, and what it is to be a woman. I always feel, reading Levy (this is her second memoir), that she is a writer with nothing much – and with everything – to say.
After her marriage breaks down – at a time when her career is ascending (she has been shortlisted for the Booker prize) – Levy and her two young daughters move into a north London block of flats which she describes, in its stricken deficiency, with panache. She makes of the flat a story, with its big skies and its sterile corridor (which, with playful perversity, she names the "corridor of love"). She describes the bees that are her unexpected flatmates, her prospering strawberry plants, and the exotic oranges with cardamom that she and her daughters eat for breakfast. She writes entertainingly about her attempt, encouraged by a friend, at "living with colour" – her yellow bedroom a garishly false move.
Levy's style is shorn; emotional burdens are carried without surplus words. She describes renting the poet and playwright Adrian Mitchell's shed from his widow, to write in, and it becomes, like the flat, a character: a shed of one's own. The affectionate portrait of eightysomething Celia Mitchell herself is delightful. She wonders why Levy bothers to wear pearls to work in a dirty shed, and introduces her to friends as "She Who Lurks in the Garden".
This is a little book about a big subject. It is about how to "find a new way of living". Rage is brewing just beneath its surface. But it's complicated, not least because Levy has a gift for homemaking. She writes about it as a process of "empathy" (she uses the word more than once), and reflects that it is "an act of immense generosity" in women to "be the architect of everyone else's wellbeing".
How, then, in middle age, does a woman who possibly never felt at home in her own home leave? How does she attain the same freedom as a man? How does a writer stay a mother? Levy notes the telltale way in which wives often get talked about by their husbands as "my wife" – and are not named.
I read this book with indecent speed and greed, but it deserves to be read at a pace closer to lived time. I particularly love Levy's amused curiosity about strangers. I was entertained by the saga of the elderly neighbour who did not like her parking her electric bicycle in front of their flats. This apparently insignificant conflict was an insight into one woman unable to watch another living a fuller life (my judgment – Levy shows but does not judge).
I was stirred by the portrait of her mother, and the description of buying ice lollies from a Turkish newsagent's during her mother's last days in hospital, when these were all she could eat. One disastrous day the newsagent's had only bubblegum flavour left. Levy was distraught – but the story of the predicament made her mother smile. Levy was too devastated to explain in the shop why, in midwinter, she was buying ice lollies every day – until after her mother's death. And then the newsagents were "so upset it was their turn not to speak". This made me cry, although I was not surprised by their reaction: Levy knows how to share her story.

Judge's Report Due On Regulating British Press
By Vicki Barker
Later this morning, a British judge who spent eight months investigating the excesses of the nation's media will issue his suggestions for how to rein in the sometimes rambunctious British press. Prime Minister David Cameron ordered the wide-ranging inquiry in the wake of revelations of illegal phone hacking at The Tabloid News of the World and other papers owned by Rupert Murdoch.
But as Vicki Barker reports, Cameron's likely to face an uproar whether or not he accepts Brian Leveson's recommendations.
VICKI BARKER, BYLINE: Lord Justice Leveson's report is 2,000 pages long. The prime minister's top aides were spotted lugging into Number 10 Downing Street in cardboard boxes yesterday. Prime Minister Cameron got an advance look, but gave little away in Parliament.
(SOUNDBITE OF SPEECH)
PRIME MINISTER DAVID CAMERON: The status quo, I would argue, does not just need updating. The status quo is unacceptable and needs to change.
BARKER: There's broad agreement that the status quo - the newspapers' current system of voluntary self-regulation - failed to prevent the illegal hacking of British celebrities, politicians and crime victims, failed to stop some journalists from paying British police officers for leaks or getting a little too cozy with politicians.
The question is: Should Britain's parliament pass unprecedented laws governing the press here, or can the British press improve how it polices itself? Actor Hugh Grant has become a campaigner for the Hacked Off campaign, which advocates for the victims of press intrusion. He says journalists should be accountable for malpractice just like doctors, lawyers and pharmacists.
HUGH GRANT: Every industry that has the power to harm people's lives has a regulator. The only industry in this country which is allowed to regulate itself is the newspaper industry.
BARKER: But the conservative-leaning Spectator - which claims to be Britain's oldest continuously published weekly - has already announced it will defy any new laws. Its editor is Fraser Nelson.
FRASER NELSON: You can't be a little bit pregnant, and in the same week, can't have a little bit of statutory regulation. Either the press is free from the politicians we hold to account, or they set the rules by which we play.
BARKER: Graham Foulkes lost his son in the July 7 London bombings, then lost his privacy when his phone was hacked by the now-defunct News of the World. He's called the hackers wicked beyond wicked, but he says the celebrities and politicians calling for new laws are just trying to muzzle the press.
GRAHAM FOULKES: We don't need any more legislation. We just need a body that is able to control when they cross the line from a morality point of view.
BARKER: A recent YouGov poll showed 79 percent of Britons favor the creation of an independent press regulator, and 42 members of Cameron's own conservative party have written to him endorsing tough new laws. But earlier this week, 86 politicians from all three main parties signed a letter opposing any form of regulation or legislation. They argued that would be tantamount to the state licensing the print media, and that practice was abolished in 1695. For NPR News, I'm Vicki Barker, in London.

Hillary Clinton needs to address the racist undertones of her 2008 campaign

Black Lives Matter, the advocacy group for black interests, has gotten the attention of the Democratic presidential candidates, who are reportedly scrambling to reach out to the movement. Even heavy favorite Hillary Clinton is getting in on it, addressing the movement in a Q&A session on Facebook, where she checked most of the right boxes.
DeRay McKesson, one of the movement's leaders, wrote on Twitter that the post was "solid." But he also noted that she had two days to work on it, and did not attend the liberal forum Netroots Nation, unlike her challengers Bernie Sanders and Martin O'Malley, who flailed in front of activists from Black Lives Matter.
McKesson is right to be suspicious. Hillary Clinton's record on race is not great. If she wishes to earn some trust on issues of racial justice, a good place to start would be with the distinctly racist undertones of her 2008 campaign against Barack Obama.
As the first primaries got underway in 2008, and Obama began to slowly pull ahead, the Clinton camp resorted to increasingly blatant race- and Muslim-baiting. It started in February, when Louis Farrakhan, the head of the Nation of Islam, endorsed Obama in a sermon. In a debate a couple days later, moderator Tim Russert repeatedly pressed Obama on the issue, who responded with repeated reassurances that he did not ask for the endorsement, did not accept it, and in fact was not a deranged anti-Semite. That wasn't enough for Clinton, who demanded that Obama "denounce" Farrakhan, which he did.
About the same time, a picture of Obama in traditional Somali garb (from an official trip) then appeared on the Drudge Report, and Matt Drudge claimed he got it from the Clinton campaign. After stonewalling on the origin question, the campaign later claimed it had nothing to do with it. A Clinton flack then went on MSNBC and argued that Obama should not be ashamed to appear in "his native clothing, in the clothing of his country."
Later, a media firestorm blew up when it was discovered that Obama's Chicago pastor Jeremiah Wright once delivered a sermon containing the words "God damn America." In response, Obama gave a deft, nuanced speech on racial issues, but Clinton kept the issue alive by insisting she would have long ago denounced the man.
The late Michael Hastings, who covered Clinton's campaign, described one instance of this strategy on the ground:
[Clinton supporter] Buffenbarger launched into a rant in which he compared Obama to Muhammad Ali, the best-known black American convert to Islam after Malcolm X. "But brothers and sisters," he said, "I've seen Ali in action. He could rope-a-dope with Foreman inside the ring. He could go toe-to-toe with Liston inside the ring. He could get his jaw broken by Norton and keep fighting inside the ring. But Barack Obama is no Muhammad Ali." The cunning racism of the attack actually made my heart start to beat fast and my ears start to ring. For the first time on the campaign trail, I felt completely outraged. I kept thinking, "Am I misreading this?" But there was no way, if you were in that room, to think it was anything other than what it was. [GQ]
Then there was Bill Clinton comparing Obama's campaign to that of Jesse Jackson's unsuccessful run in 1988. The capstone came in May, when Hillary Clinton started openly boasting about her superior support from white voters.
The effort was not so blatant as George H.W. Bush's Willie Horton ad, but the attempt to play on racist attitudes through constant repetition and association was unmistakable — in addition to playing into right-wing conspiracy theories that Obama is a secret Muslim who was born in Africa. It's likely why in West Virginia — a state so racist that some guy in a Texas prison got 40 percent of the Democratic primary vote in 2012 — Clinton won a smashing victory.
This brings us back to today's presidential race. Many of the demands posed by activists focus on rhetorical gestures of support and solidarity (a notable feature of the Netroots confrontation last weekend). But this raises this issue of trust: A very charming, cynical person could simply promise support using the right words, win the election, then forget all about it.
Does the Hillary Clinton of 2008 sound like someone who's genuinely committed to the cause of racial justice? If she has changed her views, now would be a good time to explain.

Brazil still dangerous for women as Olympics begin
As the world looks toward Brazil for the start of the Rio 2016 Olympic Games, the country is coping internally with a host of issues that make it one of the most dangerous places in the world to be a woman.
One woman is killed every two hours and assaulted every 15 seconds in Brazil. In Rio Grande do Norte, violence against women has increased 39% in the last 4 years. Rio de Janiero made headlines earlier this year after a video emerged on Twitter of more than 30 men gang-raping a 16 year old girl. This case gave rise to protests against rape culture and machismo in Brazil. Protests included a large art installation on Copacabana beach, where the beach volleyball competition will take place during the Olympics.
Currently there are only 3 exceptions to the ban on abortion in Brazil. Women's groups will present a legal challenge this week that would allow women at risk for birth defects as a result of Zika to terminate the pregnancy. Before Zika, it is estimated that 1 million illegal abortions took place every year in Brazil.
Brazilian politics also demonstrate a culture of sexist political violence. Dilma Rousseff, the country's past president, was impeached earlier this year on accusations of corruption. Both of Rousseff's male predecessors and Michel Temer, Rousseff's VP and current interim president, have all been accused of corruption – yet no moves to impeach them were made.

Ablation The action of removing and carrying away a superficial material; it primarily relates to the sublimation, melting and evaporation which remove snow and ice from the surface of a glacier or snowfield. It can also be applied to the wearing away of rock by water and the removal of salt or sand from a surface by the action of wind.
Ablation zone The region of a glacier that experiences net loss of mass throughout the year (i.e. ablation exceeds accumulation).
Absolute zero The temperature at which molecules have no internal energy and are at a complete rest. This is equivalent to zero kelvin or - 275.15 degrees Celsius.
Absorption bands Sections of the electromagnetic spectrum that interfere with the passage of radiation to the Earth's surface.
Abyssal plain The flat deep-sea floor extending seawards from the base of the continental slope and continental rise, reaching depths of 4-6 km between mid-ocean ridges and trenches.
Accumulation zone The region of a glacier that experiences net gain of mass throughout the year (i.e. accumulation of snow, firn and ice).
Across-track sensors Scanning instruments that collect data by directing the line of sight in a sweeping motion at right angles to the direction of travel by a rotating or oscillating mirror. These are also called whiskbroom scanners.
Active layer The thin top layer of the ground surface that is seasonally frozen and unfrozen above permafrost.
Adiabatic The expansion of a body of air without loss or gain of heat.
Adsorbed When a specific gas, liquid or substance in solution adheres to the exposed surface of a material with which it is in contact, usually a solid, e.g. the adsorption of anions to the surface of clay minerals by electrostatic attractions.
Adsorption Attachment of a substance in solution to a solid.
Advection The horizontal circulation of an ocean body or air mass.
Advective solution The process in which solutes are removed and transported through the soil in a flow of water (e.g. runoff and percolating water); it is very effective at removing solutes from near the surface; similar to leaching.
Aeolian Pertaining to the processes, Earth materials and landforms that involve the role of wind.
Aeration The ventilation of soil.
Aerosols Minute particles suspended in the atmosphere that interact with the Earth's radiation budget and climate.
Aggradation The raising of a surface caused by the accumulation of material deposited by various geomorphological agents (e.g. wind, water or wave).
Aggregate A grouping of soil particles adhered together and separated from surrounding aggregates by voids in the soil. Also known as ped.
Agronomy Subject of utilizing plant processes for crop growth.
Air mass An extensive body of air possessing relatively uniform conditions of temperature and moisture that is in contact with the ground.
Alas Small irregularly shaped lakes and depressions caused by the melting of massive ground ice.
Albedo The proportion of radiation reflected from a surface. Surfaces such as snow have a high albedo.
Alkaline A substance which has properties of an alkali, a pH greater than 7.
Alkalinity The capacity of water to neutralize acid, determined by the quantity of base cations (Na+, K+, Mg2+, Ca2+) in the substance. Measured by titration of the sample with a strong mineral acid.
Allelopathy A biological occurrence whereby one plant species can limit the growth of another through the release of inhibiting metabolic chemicals into the local environment.
Allochthonous A material or resource which is not indigenous to the location in which is it found and has therefore travelled to reach the said location.
Allogenic Pertaining to a change in system dynamics caused by the influence of an external environmental factor, i.e. in relation to river channel adjustment, an allogenic change involves a move away from equilibrium conditions in response to an alteration in the sediment and water regime of the river.
Alluvial fan A fan-shaped landform composed of alluvium, deposited where a tributary stream loses momentum on entering a more gently sloping valley.
Along-track sensors Scanning devices that collect data using a linear array of instruments oriented perpendicularly to the direction of travel covering one side of the swath to the other. These are also called pushbroom scanners.
Alpine permafrost Permafrost that occurs locally owing to low temperatures at high altitudes, e.g. the Rocky Mountains.
Alternative dispute resolution The process of settling an environmental dispute through mediation and arbitration (avoiding litigation); it avoids strict winners and losers by presenting a range of choices and encouraging participatory analysis.
Amictic Amictic comes from amixis, which means a lack of mixing. Amictic lakes are those which do not circulate, usually because they are covered in ice for the majority of the year and therefore wind is not able to mix the water; they are predominantly found in high-latitude and high-altitude locations.
Amhidrome Points in the oceans where there is zero tidal range due to cancelling out of tides. Tides radiate out from amphidromes.
Anaerobic Functioning in the absence of oxygen.
Anaerobic bacteria Microorganisms that survive in environments containing no free or dissolved oxygen; they obtain oxygen through the decomposition of chemical compounds, such as nitrates.
Analogue image An image composed of continuous tone.
Anastomosing Pertaining to the tendency for certain rivers to divide and reunite, producing a complex pattern of channels with large, stable islands between the channels.
Angle of repose The maximum slope gradient at which uncon-solidated material will remain stable without collapse.
Anions Negatively charged ions, i.e. an atom which has gained one or more negatively charged electrons, e.g. the chloride ion (Cl-).
Anoxic Depleted of oxygen; in water usually a result of bacterial oxygen consumption and other respiration in areas of restricted circulation.
Antarctic Bottom Water (ABW) A body of water formed along the edge of the Antarctic continent. Very dense water created by the very cold, saline conditions is forced to sink and flow north underneath the North Atlantic Deep Water (NADW); together they power the thermohaline circulation of the world's oceans.
Anticyclogenesis A condition in which a zone of descending air results in high pressure at ground level and air to circulate slowly outwards from the descending zone. This results in anticyclonic conditions.
Anti-dune A type of small-scale cross-bedding feature formed from a sand deposit on a river bed. It develops from a 'normal' dune when the flow velocity increases in a highly loaded river; erosion from the downstream slope throws material into saltation and suspension more easily than it can be replenished from upstream, causing upstream migration of the bedform feature.
Aquifer A layer of rock with sufficient porosity to absorb and store water and permeable enough to allow water to pass freely through as groundwater.
Aquitard An aquifer which has been confined between impermeable rock layers and only open for recharge and discharge at certain locations.
Archimedes' principle Any object wholly or partially immersed in a fluid will experience a buoyant force (or upthrust) equal to the weight of the fluid displaced.
Arete A steep knife-edge ridge that divides the steep walls of two adjacent cirques in a mountainous region.
Argillic A term to describe a soil horizon characterized by clay accumulation.
Aridity A state of lacking in moisture, when evapotranspiration exceeds precipitation. It can be defined by the annual overall net negative moisture balance of a particular environment.
Armoured layer The coarser stoned surface layer of a mixed gravel-bed river, protecting the finer material beneath.
Artificial neural network (ANN) A type of parallel computing in which memory is distributed across a number of smaller processing units that process information in a parallel manner.
Aspiration The act of drawing air.
Asthenosphere The ductile layer of the Earth's mantle located 100-400 km below the surface, on which the rigid lithospheric plates glide.
Atmometer An instrument for taking direct measurements of evaporation; by connecting a water supply to a porous surface the amount of evaporation over a given time is measured by the change in water stored.
Atolls Coral reefs that surround a central lagoon; most are found in the Indian and Pacific Oceans.
Autochthonous A material or resource which is indigenous to the location in which it is found.
Autogenic Pertaining to a change in system dynamics caused by the influence of an internal, self-produced factor, i.e. in relation to river channel adjustments, an autogenic change involves a fluctuation about an equilibrium condition.
Autotrophs Those life forms that acquire their energy from the Sun via the process of photosynthesis. They form the first trophic level by creating a source of energy for other animals, birds and insects.
Available water The water available in soil for plant growth after excess water has drained owing to gravitational forces, i.e. the water retained between the states of field capacity and wilting point.
Avulsion The process whereby a channel shifts, abandoning its old course for a new course, and leaving an intervening area of floodplain intact.

Hello friends! Happy Saturday to you all. I hope you are having a great afternoon. I thought I would drop in for a few minutes and say hello! This past week has been a week of craziness. Really, its been one thing after another. Very little has went according to schedule. We have dealt with no feeling well. headaches that turned into migraines, big pet issues, schedules going out the window, spats with Scott, and a never ending field trip. Sounds fun huh!?
This past week went by so fast. It was a fury of appointments, conversations, homekeeping and kids. I have had a problem trying to get everything fit into the day. And while I use to work into the late hours of night...things have changed. Instead of typing away working on blog post or editing videos at night, I am actually sleeping. My days and nights have been so out of whack but this past week, I have really worked hard at actually sleeping instead of working in bed. With spring here T -O- D- A - Y, I hope to wake up early on more mornings to hear the birds sing, be more productive when the sun is actually out, and not worry as much about schedules as such. Don't get me wrong.... a schedule really does help me to accomplish more but if I can't fit them into the daytime or evening hours, it will just have to wait until the next day.
Monday was just a trial run for how the week would go. We were off early to the Dr. office. I was tired and didn't accomplish much else. It was just a very somber kind of day. Then we moved back into Tuesday when we took all the female kitty cats and Cooper to the Vet to get fixed. 3 cats and a big dog to and from the Vet was a lot and we have had to be so careful nursing them back to health. It's being more difficult on the cats. They can't jump and when they do, its painful to watch... imagine being them. We are 4 days in at this point, and they are slowly getting better. It's bitter sweet....no more kittens for a long time. It was time though. I'll have another kitten in the house eventually but now we have our hands full.
So once again, emails have pilled up..voicemail is full and I have a house that needs cleaned up but that stuff will all have to wait. We have a beautiful spring day and I am going to enjoy some outside time with Jackson! I do plan on recording a quick video in a bit but I want to soak up some of the fresh air and sunshine first. Hopefully I will have it up later this afternoon. I hope you guys are getting some sunshine of your own today in one way or another. I'll talk to you soon!

Deep Learning-Powered Automated System Detects COVID-19 Lesions by Analyzing CT Chest Scans

A new automated system that involves deep learning technology enables the detection of COVID-19 lesion via the analysis of a computed tomography (CT) scan.
The functioning of the system developed by researchers at Universitat de Barcelona (UB; Barcelona, Spain) consists of "a first phase of lung segmentation with the CT scan to reduce the searching area," said Giuseppe Pezzano, researcher at the UB and the principal researcher of the study. "Then, an algorithm is used to analyze the lung area and detect the presence of COVID-19. If it tests positive, the image is processed to identify the areas that are affected by the disease." The study "has enabled us to verify the efficiency of the system as a support tool for decision-making for health professionals in their COVID-19 detection task, and for measuring the gravity, the extension and the evolution of the pneumonia caused by SARS-CoV-2, in the mid and long term," noted Pezzano.
The algorithm has been tested in 79 volumes and 110 sections of CTs which had detected COVID-19 infection, obtained in three open-access image repositories. The researchers achieved an average accuracy for the segmentation of lesions caused by the virus of about 99%, without false positives being observed during the identification. The method uses an innovative way to calculate the mask of segmentation of medical images, which provided good results in the segmentation of nodules in the tomography images.
Some recently published studies "show that deep learning and computing vision algorithms have achieved a better precision than the experts' cancer detection in mammograms, prediction of strokes and heart attacks," said Petia Radeva, professor at the Department of Mathematics and Computer Science of the UB. "We could not be left behind and therefore we have worked on this technology to help doctors fight COVID-19 by offering them high-precision data for the analysis of medical images in an objective, transparent and robust way."
"This type of automated system represents an important tool for health professionals in order to make more robust and accurate diagnoses, since it can provide information a human being could not measure," added Oliver Díaz, lecturer at the Department of Mathematics and Computer Science of the UB.

I was lying on the couch the other night having a cold one and thinking about how it's been more than three months since Mobile's City Council and mayor were ordered to go to mediation regarding their inability to get along. "Three months seems like a long time to mediate," I said to myself as I drained the bottle and placed the empty neatly on the table next to several of its dead homies.
Mayor Stimpson filed suit against the council in December to once and for all have a judge decide which entity holds what power in Mobile's city government. But the judge punted the decision and ordered mediation, and we haven't heard a thing since about when or if this process will ever end.
I was in a large, cold, grey room and there at a large, cold, grey conference table sat Mayor Sandy Stimpson, the City Council and Neville Chamberlain. Neville was also cold and grey, as he's been dead 78 years, but somehow still reading from a sheet of paper and looking rather dapper.
"Let's see … it says here you've been in mediation for more than three months? My goodness! How can that be possible? Why, it only took me a couple of days to get the Munich Agreement together, and that moved 800,000 people from Czechoslovakia to Germany and stopped a war. How hard can it be to get a mayor and City Council to stop fighting with one another?" Chamberlain said.
"As a student of history and an author of many, many books, I'm pretty sure your agreement with Hitler didn't work out so well, Mr. Chamberlain. And why are you here anyway? Michael Upchurch is supposedly our mediator," Fred Richardson scoffed.
He held out an ornately calligraphed business card, but Richardson intercepted it. "I'll take that!" he said.
Neville waited, but there was only silence. "Someone speak up. Tea Time and all. I've been dead 78 years, I'd like some tea!" he said forcefully, but no one answered.
"You all do realize if you don't come to an agreement, this will end up back with the judge and then the loser will probably appeal and it could mean spending most of the rest of this term in court?" he asked.
"Yes!" they all said in unison.
"Well, um, I say, let's just declare this 'Peace for this afternoon' and hit the crumpets!" Neville said.

No one really knows where the term bullpen comes from, and no one theory has enough compelling evidence to support or refute the origin. No more certain is the debate about when the word bullpen was first used. OED sites the earliest use dating back to a 1924 Chicago Tribune article, while other sources say the area referring to where pitchers warm up (especially relief pitchers), was first called the bullpen in a Baseball Magazine article published in 1915.
Regardless, the National League Championship series between the Dodgers and Phillies opens tonight, and the pen is certainly going to figure heavily in it. So we thought we'd take a look at six popular bullpen origin theories that have been going around for some time. If we left one of your favorites off the list, by all means tell us about it in the comments below.
One of the more likely theories goes like this: In the 1800s, a few innings after a game started, fans could get tickets at the box office for a big discount. But cheap tickets came with a, er, catch: you had to stand in a roped-off area off to the side of the field in foul territory. So the fans were treated a bit like cattle in a pen. When this area became the spot where pitchers warmed up, once relievers became part of the game, the name stuck.
In the late 1800s, early 1900s, many stadiums featured giant Bull Durham Tobacco ads on the outfield fence. Because relievers warmed up behind the fence, the picture became associated with the pitchers.
This theory suggests that relievers, like bulls, sit in a holding pen before being sent off to slaughter. Though a clear metaphor, certainly as much could be said for a pitcher like Jose Mesa heading out into game 7 of the '97 World Series, right?
Outfielder and manager Casey (at the Bat) Stengel, used to say that the term came from the fact that relief pitchers sat in the pen shooting the bullsh*t.
Some argue that the name was taken from another popular sport: rodeo. Here, of course, bulls (and their cowboys) are held in a small pen before being released into the arena. Perhaps the bucking bull is a metaphor for the opposing team ready to knock the cowboy out of the game.
If you live in the Bay-area, you certainly are familiar with Jon Miller's voice calling the Giants' games. A favorite on ESPN's Sunday/Monday night baseball, as well, Miller has said that the term originates with the Giants—that is, the New York Giants, who used to play on the Polo Grounds in the late 1800s. According to Miller, there was a real bull pen out beyond the left-field fence, with real bulls in it! And the relief pitchers warmed up not too far from there.


Unofficially referred to as the "Anti-Semitism Definition Act," the 5-0 vote adopts the State Department's definition of anti-Semitism — directing the police department to consider this description when investigating crimes, consistent with the federal and state hate crime statutes.
A small Florida town that is popular with snowbirds, Bal Harbour is not new to combating anti-Semitism.
In 2015, the Village Council passed an ordinance "prohibiting the Village from entering into agreements with businesses that boycott a person or entity based in or doing business with an Open Trade Jurisdiction such as Israel, and requiring businesses to pledge not to engage in such a boycott during agreements with the Village." Two years later, approximately 35 cities have followed Bal Harbour's lead and have passed anti-boycott, divestment and sanctions (BDS) legislation that forbids the municipality to do business with or invest in entities that boycott the Jewish state.
Currently, nearly half the states in the union have passed anti-BDS measures, a number that is expected to greatly increase in the coming year. But while debate exists on the inherently anti-Semitic nature of BDS, defining anti-Semitism has also become a subject of controversy.
Earlier this month, the House Judiciary Committee heard testimony on rising anti-Semitism on college campuses and varying perspectives on the "Anti-Semitism Awareness Act" currently under consideration by the committee. This bill that passed the Senate (but not the House) last year, would direct the Education Department to rely on the State Department's definition of anti-Semitism.

An Arkansas police chief got some laughs — but not a ticket — after being caught on video driving 107 miles per hour in his pickup truck on a rural road.
Brinkley Police Chief Edward Randle was going fast enough on Oct. 21 that a local cop had to call in state police for help to track him down, KTHV reported.
When the trooper finally caught up to Randle in nearby Clarendon, he laughed when he recognized him and asked "where are you going so fast?" according to the station, which obtained the video from state cops.
After Randle replied he was on his way to a local high school football game, the Brinkley officer arrived at the stopped vehicle.
"I know you didn't call the State Police!" Randle can be heard saying, according to KTHV.
"I didn't have your plate, so it didn't go over," the officer replied.
The Brinkley officer then told his boss, "I had you locked in at 107." Randle answered, "It won't do 107. It'll only do 95," according to the station.
The men can be heard exchanging laughter and the officer eventually says "see you later, Chief."
"I find it, you know, very disheartening, that anyone, public official or not, would show such blatant disregard for the speed limit, and put the lives of innocent others at risk," witness Benjamin Martin told the station.
Chief Randle told the station that he would never put the lives of other drivers in jeopardy, and that he has almost 30 years in law enforcement. However, Martin believes Randle should know better.
"As a chief of police, and as a law enforcement officer, you're sworn to protect and serve, which is the opposite of putting the lives of others at risk," he told the station.

Kate's COVID-19 update on schools
A picture of a classroom
A number of people have contacted me recently regarding closing schools and the impact this will have on children, families and early years providers, and other organisations.
As I know you'll appreciate, this is an unprecedented and fast-moving situation. I wanted to share the information I have received so far, as well as the concerns colleagues and I are pursuing.
The latest government guidance is available to read here:
https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/guidance-to-educational-settings-about-covid-19
In the meantime, you'll be aware of the statement the Secretary of State for Education made in parliament yesterday, where he confirmed that schools will close until further notice from Friday 20 March. You can read the full transcript here: https://hansard.parliament.uk/commons/2020-03-18/debates/FCD4DEB2-86A8-4F95-8EB8-D0EF4C752D7D/EducationalSettings.
The Secretary of State confirmed that schools would be closed to everyone apart from the children of key workers and children considered vulnerable. The examples of key workers given were NHS staff, police and delivery drivers. Colleagues in parliament asked for this definition to be kept flexible. Vulnerable children are considered those that have social workers or an EHCP.
The Secretary of State also confirmed that schools will be given the flexibility to provide meal vouchers for children who qualify for free school meals. He also confirmed that no exams will take place this summer but that the children affected will get the recognition they deserve. We were told that the government is working with Ofqual and more information will follow.
A number of early years providers have been in touch with me regarding the impact this situation will have on them. I raised this issue in parliament- as did a number of other colleagues. The Secretary of State advised that some providers will qualify for the Business Rates support package the government is putting together. He also confirmed that government early years funding will be maintained. However, he did not respond to questions around providers set to lose top-up fees.
The Secretary of State also acknowledged the challenges around keeping special schools open and said officials are working with local authorities and social services across the country.
I appreciate this may not answer all the concerns raised with me and may generate further questions.
However, in summary, these are the key issues we're continuing to pursue with ministers:
How a reduced school service will be provided for children who cannot be supervised at home;
How millions of children living in poverty in this country will be supported, with a guarantee that free meals will be made available to all those eligible and steps taken to extend this to include breakfast;
What financial measures will be provided for education staff on casual contracts or insecure terms, including supply teachers;
What financial support will be made available for already stretched childcare providers, and whether they will be eligible for emergency business rate relief;
What is required of students who were due to sit GCSEs, A-levels, or SATs and now will not do so, with clarity over when and how decisions around examinations will be made;
What support will be made available for children's services, which have already suffered from years of cuts and will be needed now more than ever.
