Qebehu (auch Kebehu, Qebeh, Kebeh, Qebehet, Kebehet) war die altägyptische Bezeichnung für verschiedene Örtlichkeiten sowie auch das Epitheton für Brutplätze der Zugvögel im Nildeltagewässer. Der Begriff "Qebehu" kann dabei als "Wasserwort" sowohl für irdische als auch für himmlische Wassergebiete jenseits des Sonnenweges benutzt werden. Obwohl Qebehu als alleinstehende Bezeichnung allgemein mit "Himmel" oder "(kühlende) Gewässer (des Himmels)" überliefert wird, ist eine wörtliche Übersetzung hinsichtlich der mythologischen Verwendung nicht möglich.

Die Schreibung des Begriffs "Qebehet", der in der griechisch-römischen Zeit auch für die Göttin Qebehut benutzt wurde, geht höchstwahrscheinlich mit der veränderten Orthografie einher. In Weiterentwicklung der neuägyptischen Sprache ging das "w" im auslautenden Vokal verloren, was im weiteren Verlauf dazu führte, dass neben der traditionellen Schreibweise "qbḤw" später hauptsächlich die Bezeichnung "qbḤt" Verwendung fand.

Qebehu als Herkunftsort der Zugvögel
Der Ornithologe Richard Meinertzhagen veröffentlichte bereits 1930 zum Thema Zugvögel in Ägypten: "Die Zugvögel kommen vom Norden und Nordosten. Im Herbst erstreckt sich der Zuwanderungsstrom in Fortsetzung der Route von der Levante bis zu den Küstengebieten von Syrien, Palästina und der Nordküste der Sinai-Halbinsel. Der Weg führt die Zugvögel im Verlauf von der Sinai-Halbinsel zum ägyptischen Nildelta."

Der Herkunftsort der Zugvögel wird wie im Alten Reich auch im Neuen Reich mit "aus dem fernen Qebehu kommend" beschrieben. In der Vergangenheit gab es geografische Zuordnungsprobleme, da Otto Neugebauer den Papyrus Carlsberg 1 als Informationsgrundlage wählte und den Kommentar eines Kopisten nicht mit frühen Texten verglich, was zunächst zu einer falschen Verortung führte. Otto Neugebauer wies daher den "Westen" als Brutplatz der Zugvögel aus und versuchte für seine Annahme eine astronomische Begründung zu finden: "Ihre Stätte reicht vom Nordwesten, wo die Sonne untergeht, bis zum Südosten, von wo sie kommt".

In einer späteren Veröffentlichung von Otto Neugebauer und Richard Anthony Parker kommentierten beide relativierend die offensichtlich verwirrenden Himmelsrichtungen im Papyrus Carlsberg 1: "Die Herkunft der Vögel wird von Nordwesten nach Südosten beschrieben. Wir können keine zuverlässliche Ordnung in der Topografie erkennen und lassen daher den Text für sich selbst sprechen, ohne einen Kommentar abzugeben."

Die von Elmar Edel veranlasste Dokumentation von Berichten über die Qebehu-Zugvögel in den Jahreszeitenreliefs im Sonnenheiligtum des Niuserre verhalfen dem Nutbuch neben der Dekanlehre zu großer Bekanntheit, da die Aussagen des Nutbuches mit den Angaben der Jahreszeitenreliefs in Abusir literarisch nahe verwandt sind. Eine weitere Verbindung ergibt sich zum Reisebericht des Wenamun, in welchem die Zugvögel ebenso erwähnt werden.

Schließlich fällt auch die Übereinstimmung mit den sieben königlichen Hymnen im Papyrus pTurin CG 54031 auf. Elmar Edel, der sich bei seiner Analyse auf ältere Texte stützte, bemerkte wie später auch Alexandra von Lieven die abweichende Lesung. Das Herkunftsgebiet konnte so zweifelsfrei mit "Nordwesten bis Nordosten" nachgewiesen werden:

Unter Bezugnahme auf das Aussehen des Ba in Verbindung der "Vögel aus Qebehu" ist der hergestellte Zusammenhang von Zugvögeln mit der Ba-Seele als Gleichsetzung mit den Ba-Vögeln sehr wahrscheinlich, da sie periodisch nach Ägypten wiederkehrten. Die Erwähnung der Nahrung hat Parallelen zu den Bas in der Flammeninsel der 56. Szene im Pfortenbuch, die dort das Kraut/Gemüse (semu) ebenfalls als Verpflegung bekommen.

Zwischen den früheren Texten und den späteren Kommentaren der Papyrus Carlsberg 1 vollzieht sich die geistesgeschichtliche Verlegung der Duat vom Norden in den Westen. Daraus ergibt sich der Befund, dass der Kommentator des Papyrus Carlsberg 1 neue theologische Konzepte in die alten Lehren einbaute, die bereits im Mittleren Reich greifbar wurden.

Qebehu als Landesbezeichnung

In Verbindung mit dem Oberbegriff Qebehu (auch Qebehui, Kebehui) traten mit Einführung des Totenbuchs im Neuen Reich und dem neuen Weltbildverständnis vermehrt die Identifikationen von Qebehu-Horus mit dem Nildelta und von Qebehu-Seth mit der südlichen Landeshälfte auf. Ergänzend wurden mit "Qebehu-Horus" und "Qebehu-Seth" die nördlichsten beziehungsweise südlichsten Grenzbezirke Ägyptens tituliert.

In Übereinstimmung mit frühen Texten zählten die Altägypter den Nordosten sowie den Nordwesten zu den "Gewässern des Horus" und den Südosten sowie Südwesten zu den "Gewässern des Seth", wobei die Bewohner der "Gewässer des Horus" und der "Gewässer des Seth" seit der frühdynastischen Zeit auch das Synonym "Kiebitzvolk" beziehungsweise "Patvolk" trugen.

Qebehu als Ort der Himmelsgewässer

Altes Reich
Im Alten Reich wurde Qebehu als über der Göttin Nut liegende Region sowie als "geballte Finsternis" und "oberer Himmel des Nun" verstanden, dessen Bereich nach dem Verlassen der Randzone "Rücken der Nut" beginnt. In dieser Ur-Finsternis befinden sich weder Sterne noch andere Himmelskörper, sondern das Nichts, in welchem einzig "die Urgewässer des Nun" beheimatet sind. Der Himmel selbst befand sich nach altägyptischer Vorstellung am Leib der Himmelsgöttin Nut, die sich auf Fingerspitzen und Füße gestützt bogenförmig über die Erde beugte.

Anhand von Berichten in den Pyramidentexten wurden Versuche einer Lokalisierung in himmlischen Bereichen vorgenommen, wobei Rolf Krauss eine Verbindung zum Südhimmel sieht. Die Argumente für den Südhimmel stehen jedoch auf einer beleglosen Grundlage, da die entsprechenden Pyramidentexte keine genaue Ortslage schildern, sondern nur allgemein den Himmel erwähnen. Schlussfolgerungen der Historiker haben daher den Charakter von Hilfshypothesen.

Historische Versuche, Qebehu mit der Umgebung von Nut zu identifizieren, widersprechen den Ortsangaben im Nutbuch, da Qebehu nur für die nördlichen Regionen benannt wird. Im Süden und Südosten liegt dagegen die Reteh-qabet. Nach den Schilderungen von Qebehu, das in der Urfinsternis liegt, muss es sich augenscheinlich um einen Ort am Rand der Keku-semau handeln. Ob diese Lokalität in Ägypten selbst oder außerhalb des Landes liegt, wird nicht näher erwähnt, weshalb eine genaue Ortung nicht möglich ist.

Der Verweis auf die Duat ist problematisch, da einerseits vom Norden und andererseits vom Westen die Rede ist. Verortungen von Qebehu mit der Duat erscheinen unmöglich, da in diesem Kontext nur vom Gebiet des Nordens gesprochen wird und der Kommentator des Papyrus Carlsberg 1 die Region in den Westen verlagern möchte. Eine zusätzliche Schwierigkeit stellt die Lage der Duat selbst dar, die keinesfalls eindeutig ist. Bisherige Veröffentlichungen stellen nur Vermutungen ohne explizite Belege dar.

Neues Reich
Im Neuen Reich wird Qebehu im Nutbuch als Region des Himmels und ebenfalls als Ort des Urgewässers Nun genannt. In Nuns Schöpfungsfunktion steht Qebehu als Ausdruck für die Geburts- und Wiedergeburtsvorbereitung in der "Sphäre, aus der alles Leben entsprang" und in der die vier Himmelsrichtungen ihre Bedeutung verlieren, da es "der Ort ohne Richtungen ist":

Das Nutbuch kann in dieser strittigen Frage die unterschiedlichen Konzepte näherbringen, da die Göttin Nut einerseits selbst der Himmel ist und der Eintritt in ihren Mund andererseits als nördlicher Eingang in die Duat bezeichnet wird. Das passt sehr gut zu den im Alten Reich vorgenommenen Ausrichtungen der Pyramiden und der damit verbundenen Bedeutung des Nordhimmels.

Red Sox outfielder Jacoby Ellsbury turned his ankle returning to first base on a Cliff Lee pickoff attempt in this afternoon's game against the Phillies. He initially stayed in the game but was taken out in the bottom of the second.
Ellsbury said if it had been a regular-season contest he would have continued playing.
"I told (Red Sox trainer Rick Jameyson) 'Hey, tape it up and let's go,' but they wanted to be cautious about it," Ellsbury said.
Farrell said Ellsbury would be re-evaluated on Monday, but the Red Sox skipper was "cautiously optimistic" Ellsbury would be available for the rest of spring training after Monday's contest against the Orioles and an off-day on Tuesday.

Is Kanye West actually running for president this year? Nobody really knows the actual answer to that question, but his campaign has begun nonetheless. Things have already gotten off to a rocky start at his first event in Charleston, South Carolina, and now he may be dealing with some very serious problems in his personal life.
According to a report from Us Weekly, Kanye's wife, Kim Kardashian, has begun contacting lawyers about a divorce, after his controversial remarks made at the event and in the following days on his Twitter account. However, Kardashian later made a post on her Instagram page asking for privacy and compassion, and discussing her husband's mental health issues.
His family was reportedly so concerned about his mental health as they were watching the rally, that they wanted to have him committed to a mental hospital immediately after his speech.
West made a wide range of controversial remarks at his event, but most upsetting to his family was the revelation that he initially wanted to abort one of their children. West became extremely emotional and broke down into tears during that part in his speech.
"My dad wanted to abort me. My mom saved my life. There would've been no Kanye West because my dad was too busy," West said, before shouting, "I almost killed my daughter! I almost killed my daughter!"
In the discussion about abortion, West advocated for a strange policy where mothers would be paid $1 million to have a baby, even mothers in other places like Africa, and that Israel should pay the bill. The idea is that it would encourage women to keep their babies without making abortion illegal. Many people noticed that his comments were strangely similar to Donald Trump's promise to build a wall and make Mexico pay for it.
"Everybody that has a baby gets a million dollars or something in that range. We will fund it with other countries. America with other continents. There are Israeli continents that do not believe in this. There are African continents that do not believe in this," he said.
Kanye West launches bid for presidency
From abortion, to civil rights figure Harriet Tubman, Kanye West's rambling speech launched his bid to become president.https://www.itv.com/news/2020-07-20/kanye-west-runs-for-president-with-million-dollar-babies-among-campaign-ideas
Posted by ITV News on Monday, July 20, 2020
West made a variety of other strange comments, including that Harriet Tubman never actually freed the slaves, "she just had the slaves go work for other white people."
After getting home from the event, West launched into a tirade on Twitter where he admonished his family for attempting to get doctors to "lock him up." Many of the posts have since been deleted.
Kanye's friends were very concerned about his mental health, and he ended up getting some unexpected visits from people like Dave Chappelle. West posted an awkward video on Twitter where he is coaxing Dave Chappelle into telling a joke.
https://twitter.com/kanyewest/status/1285627821424087040
Elon Musk also reportedly talked to West and said that "He seems like he's doing fine."
West has been very public about his struggle with bipolar disorder. In 2016, he spent time in the hospital after a 'psychiatric emergency' in the middle of a tour that forced him to cancel 21 shows.

You Need Help! 20 Stars Who Faced Interventions
By:plang2013
Dec. 9 2014, Updated 2:02 p.m. ET
With news that Brandi Glanville brushed off an intervention from her co-stars, we take a look back at other instances in which wayward Hollywood souls were offered a helping hand from concerned friends.
Lamar Odom: Khloe Kardashian's basketball player husband has allegedly been spiraling downhill as the result of drug abuse. As RadarOnline.com has reported, Kardashian, fearing Odom was hooked on OxyContin and Ambien, tried to stage an intervention but he balked at her attempt to get him clean. Sources told Radar that his Los Angeles Lakers and Clippers teammates had also tried to convince the troubled athlete to go to rehab. The Lakers organization even promised Odom a roster spot if he gets treatment. Meanwhile, Odom's drug pusher revealed the star's cocaine binges to Radar and said "he absolutely needs help."

Cory Monteith: The Glee star's co-star and girlfriend, Lea Michele, staged an intervention for him a few months before his tragic July 13 death from a lethal combination of heroin and alcohol, sources told US Weekly. Michele asked show creator Ryan Murphy to approach Monteith with her. "She told Cory, 'Clean up or I'm out of here," a source close to the actress told the magazine. Monteith underwent a 30-day rehab program this April, but sadly, it wasn't enough and he was found dead in a Vancouver hotel room.

Andy Dick
Andy Dick: As RadarOnline.com reported, the comedian, Dancing with the Stars competitor, and Sober House star entered rehab this summer after friends staged a dramatic intervention for him, sources said. But he quickly left the program because he didn't want help, according to sources. "He's on a downward spiral that is so intense it could be his last, and his friends are just at a loss for what they can do," an insider said. "They don't want to see him end up in an early grave." In July, Radar obtained video of Dick, who has often talked about his past addiction issues, urinating on a public sidewalk.
https://radaronline.com/exclusives/2013/08/andy-dick-intervention-treatment-center-he-left/
Amanda Bynes: The wayward starlet known for her arrests and wacky tweets faced a 2010 intervention attempt from friends and family, People magazine reported—but the star rejected any overtures. She "was paranoid and refused it all," an eyewitness told People. This summer, Bynes was involuntarily committed to a psych ward after months of erratic behavior, including allegedly starting a fire in someone's driveway. Her mother Lynn was granted temporary conservatorship over Bynes and is monitoring her psych ward care.
https://radaronline.com/exclusives/2013/06/amanda-bynes-intervention-friends-family-mental-illness/
Whitney Houston: In a 2012 interview with Anderson Cooper, the late songbird's The Bodyguard co-star and friend, Kevin Costner, said he was asked to write letters to Whitney urging her to change her lifestyle. "When someone said, 'Would you write someone a letter to someone who you know is having trouble?' I did, there were two occasions," Costner revealed about the singer, who died in 2012 at age 48 with cocaine in her system. "I saw pretty much what everyone else saw… I don't know if those letters were ever read."
https://radaronline.com/exclusives/2012/04/kevin-costner-whitney-houston-drug-addiction-letters/
Lindsay Lohan: The actress' father, Michael Lohan, confirmed to RadarOnline.com in Oct. 2012 that he had tried to stage an intervention to get Lindsay into rehab. Michael said he intentionally kept his efforts private – particularly keeping Lindsay's mom, Dina, in the dark, because "users, addicts, enablers are not invited!" Michael said the effort "was ALL about Lindsay's well being." But Lindsay called the police on her dad to get him off her property, Radar reported. This summer, however, Lindsay completed a 90-day rehab program at Cliffside Malibu and exulted in a TV interview, "I feel whole again."

Leif Garrett
Leif Garrett: The 1970s teen idol got an intervention courtesy of the VH1 show, Celebrity Rehab. But at first the rocker, who was arrested on suspicion for possessing heroin, was reluctant. "I didn't want to have a camera stuck in my face while I was trying to kick," Garrett told the L.A. Times in 2011. "I thought, 'It's nobody's freaking business.' But I finally came to the realization: It's everybody's business, because it's been in the papers. Instead of paying to go to rehab, why not get paid for it? And show the world, at the same time, that I am no longer using?" So far, Garrett has stuck with sobriety.
http://articles.latimes.com/2011/jan/02/entertainment/la-ca-celebrity-rehab-20110102
Heath Ledger: The Dark Knight star's former fiancée, Michelle Williams, desperately tried to help the star get help to battle his addictions during his final days, sources said. Before Ledger died of an accidental drug overdose in 2008 at his New York apartment, Williams was reportedly working with others in Heath's life to stage an intervention and get him into rehab.
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-541239/Heath-Ledgers-ex-fiancee-desperately-tried-rehab-died-says-new-report.html
Jodie Sweetin
Jodie Sweetin: The former Full House actress, who admitted in 2006 that she once had a daily methamphetamine habit – and later wrote a memoir about her drug and alcohol nightmare -- reportedly got an intervention from her co-stars. After Full House ended in 1995, the child star tried to pursue a normal life but faced unemployment and began experimenting with meth. After a three-day "lost" weekend, reportedly followed by an intervention staged by her former Full House costars Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, John Stamos and Bob Saget, Sweetin checked herself in to the Promises rehab facility for six weeks of intense treatment in 2007. While The National Enquirer reported this summer that she was going into rehab again, Sweetin adamantly denied it.

Jason Davis
Jason Davis: In 2010, RadarOnline.com has reported that comedian Tom Arnold staged an intervention for his friend Jason Davis, the oil heir and cast member on VH1's Celebrity Rehab with Dr. Drew. But one day after the intervention succeeded into getting "Gummi Bear" Davis into rehab, he left the program. As Radar has reported, Davis was arrested on drug charges in 2011. And in 2012, Radar learned the socialite was staying at a sober living house in Los Angeles and had been shooting heroin into a vein in his foot.

Michael Jackson: The King of Pop's brother Randy told jurors in Michael Jackson's wrongful death trial this year that the pop star had a secret near-overdose in 2005 and that he deflected ten drug interventions made by concerned family members. Those included an intervention attempt in a New York hotel in 2000, about "four or five" surprise trips to Neverland Ranch and during a meeting at Michael's Las Vegas residence after his 2005 child molestation trial. Randy Jackson said his brother didn't like the interference and isolated himself from the family.

Mindy McCready
Mindy McCready: The country singer, who appeared on the VH1 show Celebrity Rehab, shot herself to death earlier this year. After McCready's boyfriend, David Wilson, shot himself to death and her behavior was erratic, her father intervened. Tim McCready filed a petition approval by a judge and she was committed to a treatment facility. Tim said in his petition that his daughter "sleeps all day. Drinks all night and is taking Rx drugs. Not bathing or even helping take care of her 2 children." Sadly, Mindy walked away from the rehab center several days later and killed herself on the same front porch where her boyfriend had died.

Taylor Armstrong: On this season's The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, Armstrong went on a vacation without knowing where her daughter, Kennedy, was. So Kim and Kyle Richards went to her house to confront her about her drinking. Armstrong explained she was feeling terrible after her husband Russell's suicide and she was waking up "in the darkest place." But Taylor didn't go to rehab and appears to have put her problems behind her, recently getting engaged to boyfriend John Bluher.

Jael Strauss
Jael Strauss: The former America's Next Top Model contestant from 2007 battled crystal meth addiction-- and her family turned to Dr. Phil McGraw for an intervention in 2012. Instead of succeeding at modeling, Strauss got hooked on meth and was living on the streets when intervention experts working for Dr. Phil's talk show tracked her down. Strauss agreed to be on the show but ran out of the studio, forcing Dr. Phil to counsel her in the parking lot. He convinced her to get treatment.

Richie Sambora: Did Jon Bon Jovi issue Sambora a "rehab or the road" ultimatum? Sources told RadarOnline.com that Bon Jovi and the rest of the band urged him to go into rehab this summer—and kicked him out of the group when he refused. An insider said that Sambora's inner circle is "very concerned that he continues to drink in excess." But another source later insisted to Radar that talk of an intervention was untrue. "Richie is sober," the source said.

Charlie Sheen: The Anger Management star has been in and out of substance abuse trouble for years. And as RadarOnline.com reported in 2011, his ex-wife Denise Richards tried to do an intervention on him after his mega "winning" public meltdown. Sheen eventually did go to rehab but in 2012 he told Good Morning America he doesn't believe in it! "It's not for me. It's not for everyone," Sheen said.

Bobbi Kristina Brown: As RadarOnline.com reported in April 2012, friends and family "held an intervention" for Whitney Houston and Bobby Brown's 19-year-old daughter, a source told Star magazine. According to Star's sources, she got drunk, smoked marijuana and popped prescription pills in the wake of her mother's shocking death earlier last year. "Everyone is worried sick about Krissy … her aunt Pat got a number of her friends and family to come to Atlanta and have a serious talk with her," an insider said. "There were lots of tears, but Bobbi Kristina didn't listen."

Tom Sizemore
Tom Sizemore: Robert DeNiro confronted Sizemore at his therapist's office to try to get the Black Hawk Down star to go into rehab in 1995. In his memoir, By Some Miracle I Made it out of There, Sizemore wrote that his lowest point was when his Heat co-star DeNiro was part of a family-led intervention. Sizemore said DeNiro told him, "Now you listen to me, I'm no psychiatrist … but you're either going to go to rehab or go to prison." De Niro then offered to fly Sizemore to rehab onboard his private plane, but the troubled actor promised he'd check-in as soon as they wrapped their film.

David Arquette: In 2011, the Scream star was prodded into rehab by his then-estranged wife, Courteney Cox, and his actress sister, Patricia. "I went where I had to go to come back and look at myself and look at my life," he told Ryan Seacrest afterwards on his radio show. But Arquette and Cox are now divorced and as RadarOnline.com recently reported, he was spotted partying hard at a strip club.

Dana Plato: Diff'rent Strokes star Plato died of an accidental prescription-drug overdose in 1999 just one day after telling Howard Stern on his radio show she was drug free. Former The Donna Reed Show actor and child star advocate Paul Petersen claimed friends' intervention efforts through the years hadn't worked. "We tried and we tried and we tried," Petersen sighed and added he saw her death coming.

Massachusetts hospitals face shortages of protective equipment in coronavirus outbreak
BOSTON, MA – MARCH 14-SATURDAY: Massachusetts Health and Human Services Secretary Marylou Sudders, right, answers reporters' questions after Gov. Baker named her the head of a command center in response to issues caused by the COVID-1 virus, at the State House March 14, 2020, in Boston, Massachusetts.

PUBLISHED: March 14, 2020 at 5:53 p.m. | UPDATED: March 14, 2020 at 5:53 p.m.
Hospitals and health care centers are facing shortages of personal protective equipment as the coronavirus outbreak spreads, forcing medical workers to conserve gowns and masks in the early days of the pandemic as the state triages its limited supply out to those most in need.
"Hospitals have seen severe shortages in the availability of personal protective equipment from their vendors," said Dr. Paul Biddinger, chief of the division of emergency preparedness for Massachusetts General Hospital. "It started with N95 respirators almost immediately in January and has expanded to include gowns, gloves, eye protection."
MGH still had protective equipment available for clinicians on Friday, but Biddinger said "almost never are we able to get the quantities that we may like in our orders."
"We are looking to extend the use of our current supplies in line with federal recommendations to make sure we protect our workforce," Biddinger said. "We're very concerned about the shortages we're facing."
Massachusetts health care facilities staring down a pandemic are already grappling with a dearth of the equipment they need to help stem the spread of COVID-19 — and to protect their workers. And with more cases cropping up daily in the Bay State — there were 138 as of Saturday — Massachusetts health officials are sounding the alarm about imminent shortages.
"Everyone's on sort of conservation," said Marylou Sudders, the state's health and human services secretary who on Saturday was named the head of Gov. Charlie Baker's new coronavirus command center.
Sudders said the state has only received about 10% of the equipment it requested from the national stockpile. Already, 73,000 pieces of personal protective equipment have been sent to the Berkshires, where Sudders said Berkshire Medical Center had just "several days' supply left."
"Who do you try to triage? Who gets it first?" Sudders said, adding there will be a "very focused distribution."
The World Health Organization and the Food and Drug Administration are prioritizing increasing production of items such as surgical masks and gowns. The FDA has issued conservation tips, including telling health care providers they can extend the use of single-use gowns by not changing between patients with the same diagnosis in a confined area.
The Centers for Disease Control, which recommends wearing a full outfit of a gown, respirator, gloves and eye protection, has updated its guidelines to say face masks were acceptable where respirators are not available and that gowns should be prioritized for activities where "splashes and sprays are anticipated." COVID-19 is most often spread through respiratory droplets from coughs or sneezes.

Some Boston-area hospitals told the Herald they have adequate supplies on hand, but are concerned about shortages as the outbreak worsens.
Boston Medical Center said it is taking steps to conserve personal protection equipment. A Brigham and Women's Hospital spokesman said, "We are conserving supplies and limiting hospital staff and visitors entering patient rooms requiring the use of gowns, gloves, surgical masks, N95 masks or Purell."
Dr. Peter Slavin, president of Mass General, said in a video press conference Friday that medical professionals are hoping for an expansion in production but "we can't rely on that."
Slavin said MGH is "likely going to be deferring some elective clinical activities" to preserve equipment. And he said staff came up with the idea to put iPads in patients' rooms to cut down on interactions to both conserve protective equipment and minimize health care workers' risk of exposure.
Debra Farrar-Parkman, director of development at the South End Community Health Center, said, "Right now we have what we need."
But if the number of coronavirus cases spikes, South End Community Health would likely have enough equipment for "maybe a couple weeks or so, maybe longer," Farrar-Parkman said. "We have a really real concern about exhausting our supply and our ability to resupply given the demand."

Rural Justice Pro Bono Collaborative Launched in Response to Meeting with Vice President Biden
Palo Alto, Calif. – May 20, 2013 – OneJustice and Cooley LLP, in collaboration with other Bay Area law firms and legal service providers, have launched the Bay Area Rural Justice Collaborative. The Collaborative held its first free immigration clinic on May 17, 2013 in Napa, California. The Collaborative was developed to meet the goals of the Association of Pro Bono Counsel's (APBCo) IMPACT Project. The APBCo IMPACT ("Involving More Pro Bono Attorneys in Our Communities Together") Project is taking root in eight urban centers, from the San Francisco Bay Area to New York and beyond. The objective of the IMPACT Project is to design innovative and sustainable new solutions that will increase access to free legal services by utilizing pro bono volunteers.
The IMPACT Project is a direct response to a meeting held in Washington, DC in 2012 among Vice President Joe Biden, APBCo board members and senior management of the board members' firms. The meeting focused on issues of access to justice and the role of pro bono attorneys in the delivery of legal services to the poor, including innovative collaborations between law firms and legal services organizations. As a result of this conversation, APBCo initiated the IMPACT Project, a long-term project to develop new collaborations across the country to expand pro bono resources and inspire new pro bono projects.
The Rural Justice Collaborative is the first IMPACT project to launch. Its mission is to expand access to legal services in rural and/or isolated communities throughout the Bay Area. The May 17th clinic in Napa, the first of eleven free clinics set to be held over the next three months (in Napa, Half Moon Bay and Gilroy), focused on immigration. Subsequent clinics will focus on either immigration or housing issues. The clinics will utilize trained pro bono volunteers from the participating law firms, who will be supervised by experienced legal services staff attorneys. The Collaborative is staffed by a newly hired senior staff attorney at OneJustice. Initial funding and administrative support for the project has been provided by Cooley LLP.
"Those in need in rural areas simply do not have the same access to free legal services that people in urban areas do," said Julia Wilson, Executive Director of OneJustice. "The Rural Justice Collaborative is our response to try to meet this need and to address Vice President Biden's goal to create innovative and sustainable new solutions that will increase access to free legal services."
"Rural legal aid organizations have a very real need for financial resources and personnel," said Maureen Alger, Cooley's Pro Bono Partner. "It is truly an honor to be able to contribute the resources needed to make the Collaborative a reality and to make access to legal representation a reality in these communities."
In addition to OneJustice, participating legal services organizations include AIDS Legal Referral Panel; Alameda County Bar Association – VLSC; Asian Law Alliance; Asian Law Caucus; Bay Area Legal Aid; Community Legal Services in East Palo Alto; Justice & Diversity Center of the Bar Association of San Francisco; Law Foundation of Silicon Valley; Lawyers' Committee for Civil Rights of the San Francisco Bay Area; Legal Aid of Marin; Legal Aid of Napa Valley; Legal Aid Society - Employment Law Center; Legal Aid Society of San Mateo County; and Swords to Plowshares.
In addition to Cooley, participating law firms include Baker McKenzie; Bingham McCutchen; Covington & Burling; DLA Piper; Fenwick & West; Lowenstein Sandler; Morrison & Foerster and Perkins Coie.

Majuli Homepage | Geography | Administration | Under Threat | At-a-glance | Fallout | Travel Information | About MIPADC | Help | How to Reach
Erosion is likely to submerge the largest fresh water River Island in next 15-20 years.
The Island has been formed with change of course of the river Brahmaputra as well as its tributaries from time to time. Some more references on the Majuli Island are found in the text of the "Third Division of Assam, Majuli or the Great Island" in the book, "An account of Assam" by Dr. John Peter Wade. 1972-93. "Majuli then was constituted with 13 (thirteen) Chaporis or small islands intersected by channels of communication by boat between the Dihing and Lohit, which in reality, it concerts into a cluster of islands and in addition to these, numerous smaller island range the whole length, formed by various branches of the principal streams. Some of these were always overflowed in the season of inundation, others occasionally only; all possess a stratum of rich soil above a deeper layer of sand or soft clay".
The geographical feature of Majuli was entirely different when it was visited by Shri Sankardeva, the founder of Vaishnava religion and culture, in 1510 AD "From mouth (Out fall of the river Subansiri upto Kherkotia Suti the river island which stretches along was "Majali" or "Majuli" in between the Lohitya (Lohit) and the Dihing river. At that time Lohitya (Lohit) was flowing parallel to the Dihing from kherkatia suti and fell into Mahuramukh. From Mahuramukh, the upper part of it was known as the Dihing. The rivers like the Dikhow, Desang, Disai and Dhansiri were tributaries of the Dihing.
According to Edward A, Gait, at that time (1622 A.D.) the Brahmaputra was flowing along the present channel of Lohit to the north by Majuli while Dihing was flowing along the present channel of Brahmaputra to the south of the island. After receiving Desang and Dikhow, Dihing had its confluence with the Brahmaputra at the western extremity of the island. At still earlier period, Dihing is believed to have flowed to the Brahmaputra further east than the Burhi-Dihing does now. At that time, according to native traditions, Dikhow had an independent course as far as Kajalimukh, part of which still survive in the Majuli as the Tuni river, and part in Nagaon, as the Kalang".
In 1671, the Dihing changed its course to have its confluence into the upper Lohit. According to Mr. Gait and Captain Billcock, a wild flood of great intensity mainly due to Dihing devasted the entire area in 1735 when the Brahmaputra after abandoning its course followed the abandoned course of Dihing.
According to the census of 1971, the geographical area of the island (including some Chars or Chapori area) was 924'60 Sq. Km; but area of the island with smaller island, as per record of Revenue, was 1246 Sq. km. The island is located to the north of the Jorhat Sub-Division and is now a Civil Sub-Division with Head Quarters at Garamur since 26th Jan-1978. At present, the island is bounded by the river Brahmaputra on the south, the river Subansiri (Lohit) on the North-West and Kherkotia on North-East; in the west it stretches to the confluence along the either sides of rivers, the Brahmaputra and the Subansiri.

More families turn to foodbanks during 'desperate, awful' summer
'Families are struggling'

Nottingham's foodbanks had their 'busiest ever' summer as hundreds of parents turned to them for help.
The school holidays is a difficult time for those who rely on free school meals to feed their children - and this year proved particularly bad.
At the beginning of the summer some foodbanks were days away from closing but a drive for donations, supported by Nottinghamshire Live, allowed them to stay open.
Although the exact numbers have yet to be counted, Nigel Adams, director of Hope Nottingham, which works with the Trussell Trust to run 16 foodbanks across the city and the rest of the county, said it had been the busiest yet.
"Based on the numbers we have so far the telling thing is the proportion of food going to kids has gone up significantly (from 30 percent to 45 percent)," he added. "Families are struggling."

"The numbers keep going up. It's really hard, we try to do the best we can but sometimes we feel we do not do enough."
Every year since they started the foodbanks have seen an increase in use, which Mr Adams puts down to the culminate effect of austerity cuts and benefit changes.
The Trussell Trust has calculated that between April 1 last year and March 31 this year, they handed out 23,322 three-day emergency food packages across Nottinghamshire.
Of those almost 9,000 were for children. This total number is up from 20,993 for the same period between 2016 and 17 and 18,989 between 2015 and 16.
In order to get help from a food bank you need to be referred with a voucher, which can be issued by a number of local community organisations, such as Citizen's Advice or a key worker, if they judge you to be in an emergency.
The Bestwood and Bulwell foodbank is open on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturday mornings
One charity, FareShare, decided to start giving food to the city's children for the first time because they believed the city needed it.
Over the course of the summer they provided 7,080 meals to an estimated 750 children in the city.
Simone Connolly, Director at FareShare East Midlands, said: "Whilst we're grateful we were able to support Nottingham families, the figures demonstrate the glaring need for enhanced food provision in our communities."
Wendy White runs the Clifton foodbank which she said was on the brink of closing before people rallied to bring food.
She ran a breakfast club every day of the summer giving free meals to children aged 12 and under - and had as many as 20 children visiting at one point.

She said: "It has been busy, more than expected. We had no idea whether we would have enough food and I was stressed.
"When we spoke [two months ago] if we had five big families we would have had no food in the cupboard. We would have closed without that influx of food.
"It's awful, desperate times and more and more and more people are coming to us."
But the end of summer holidays does not mean things have quietened down. According to Mr Adams parents are having to pay for new uniforms and as the weather gets colder, choose between heating and eating.

The changing ocean chemistry, bubbling under the surface
by Amy Markel
At this stage, most people are aware that the continued use of fossil fuels releases too much carbon dioxide (CO2) into the atmosphere. But much of that excess CO2 is then absorbed by the oceans, something that has been well-documented here in Hawaiian waters over decades.
The figure to the right is a famous one used by many scientists based on these local measurements. It shows atmospheric CO2 levels rising (red line), as well as the amount of CO2 absorbed by the ocean (green line). The blue line show the acidity (or pH) of the ocean water. As pH decreases, the more acidic the water is, which is why scientists talk about "ocean acidification.
The problem is, ocean acidification changes the general chemistry of the ocean, affecting numerous processes associated with marine life, especially for species with skeletons or shells. As CO2 absorbed from the atmosphere combines with water, it creates carbonic acid, which then reacts with, and holds onto, loose carbonate in the water (see graphic below). However, this reduces the available carbonate that species like corals and plankton can use, when combined with calcium, to build skeletons and shells.
Hawai'i hosts some of the foremost data sets that record changes to global water chemistry over decades, with specific focus on ocean acidification parameters. So in 2018, the state of Hawai'i joined the International Alliance to Combat Ocean Acidification which is dedicated to helping states and nations develop action plans, collaborate across regions and international networks, and collectively work on local and global implementation of planned actions. Hawai'i is dedicated to the development and implementation of a state-wide action plan to combat ocean acidification effects in the region.
The Division of Aquatic Resources (DAR), within the Hawaiʻi Department of Land and Natural Resources, was designated as the lead agency for this action planning effort, and as an E. Gordon Grau Coastal and Marine Resource Management Fellow assigned to work at DAR, I was tasked with helping develop the Ocean Acidification Plan for Hawai'i. Through this fellowship, I was able to travel to the New York Aquarium in 2019 to attend the International Alliance to Combat Ocean Acidification at the Coast to Coast State Convening on Ocean and Coastal Acidification. It was an amazing opportunity to meet representatives from other states and partners and to learn more about other state agencies' planning efforts.
After delving into ongoing ocean acidification research and current national planning efforts, I was curious about ocean acidification impacts to Hawaiian species. Some local species are at risk because they use calcium carbonate to make skeletal structures: corals; calcareous algae, like Padina (limu pepeiao) and Halimeda; and crustose coralline algae (CCA), which create substrate for coral polyp recruitment. Other local species need calcium carbonate for protective shells: lobsters, crabs, and other crustaceans; bivalves like oysters and clams; and 'opihi and marine snails. However, researchers are still unsure how else these species are impacted by ocean acidification, so this informational need will be highlighted in the state's Ocean Acidification Plan.
To understand more about changing local conditions, I partnered with local experts from NOAA, investigating and documenting work already in progress across the islands. For example, as part of their coral reef monitoring, NOAA scientists also collect water samples to test for carbonate chemistry, and they track carbonate growth (or accretion) and dissolution (or bioerosion) at their monitoring sites. Species in the waters around the Main Hawaiian Islands show lower accretion rates but are still within expected ranges based on the available calcium carbonate concentrations measured in the local waters. However, bioerosion rates are a little more unsettling: sites in south Kona, off Hawai'i Island, and on the south shore of O'ahu have some of the highest bioerosion rates recorded in the Pacific region.

NOAA is able to monitor these conditions around Hawaiʻi on a 3-year rotating basis, but with the climate crisis heating up, there is clearly a need to monitor more frequently and to include investigations of localized coastal acidification, not just impacts of global ocean acidification. In 2008, researchers from the School of Ocean and Earth Science and Technology (SOEST) at the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa created a network of buoys to make measurements around the island of O'ahu of CO2, temperature, salinity, chlorophyll, dissolved oxygen, and water turbidity every three hours. (See a previous Hawaiʻi Sea Grant Blog about that project.) Data from the buoy network have revealed important information about coastal acidification around O'ahu, like the fact that land-based sources of pollution and excess nutrients can exacerbate the impacts of global ocean acidification and cause far worse localized coastal acidification.
Based on toolkit suggestions from the International Alliance, the State of Hawaiʻi Climate Change Mitigation and Adaptation Commission staff in collaboration with different Hawaiian agencies, departments, and community partners, developed five goals as the framework for a plan for action:
Increase scientific understanding of ocean acidification in the region.
Reduce carbon dioxide emissions and land-based sources of pollution.
Build adaptation and resilience of coastal communities to impacts of ocean acidification.
Increase public understanding of ocean acidification, both general public and legislature.
Build and continue international collaboration and support.
These goals were approved by the Climate Commission in October 2020, and the full action plan with recommendations for coping with ocean acidification will be available later this year.
Helping develop this action plan has been an extraordinary opportunity to strengthen network connections for our state, as well as broaden my own professional network. I have been inspired by the work I have been able to do during the Grau Fellowship, and I am left with hope that our action plan will be implemented, combatting ocean acidification, as a result of these conversations and planning efforts across regions and networks.
Amy Markel is one of two fellows selected to comprise the first cohort, in 2019, of the E.

Former 'MAFS' Star Ryan Gallagher Is Looking For Love In The Jungle
Image: Network 10.
Mat Whitehead
10 daily Entertainment Editor
Despite being in one of the most talked-about marriages of 2018, Ryan Gallagher is very single and heading into the jungle looking for romance.
Speaking to 10 daily ahead of his entry into camp the 31-year-old admitted that he was 100 percent open to the idea of finding love with one of his campmates. Saying that he had no interest in ever being part of another dating show, the former 'Married At First Sight' star added the first of two disclaimers: that 'I'm A Celebrity' isn't technically a dating show.
The second was the one exception to his 'no dating shows' rule. "The only show I would probably do if they did approach would be 'The Bachelor'", Ryan told 10 daily.
"It's the only one because I know they're not going to screw me over. They'll want me to actually end up with someone, all these other ones it's more for the ratings."
Ryan added that he had no issues with his time on 'MAFS', coming off the show he understood what he had signed up for and had to deal with the consequences, but felt like stepping into the shoes of 'The Bachelor' meant he actually had a proper shot at a love story.
It isn't the first time Ryan's name has been thrown into the ring (by himself of by others) for the rose-covered spot of Bachie. Soon after his 'MAFS' stint, rumours began that he was in talks with producers but the show went with another larrikin, the controversial Honey Badger.
Meanwhile, Ryan said he didn't even really watch his own season of 'MAFS', only watching segments here or there. "It just doesn't interest me." But there is one fan in his household.
"Dad loves it. He still watches reruns, I don't know why. It's a terrible show."
"He watched the last season as well," Ryan said. "I'd be in the kitchen and he'd start talking about it, I'd say I don't f**king care! I don't even know their names. I avoid them like the plague at events.
"I know I shouldn't say it as one of them… they're just not my type of people, reality people. I avoid them like no tomorrow. They're not nice people."
Saying that he thinks his former co-stars are likely to "push their own mother out of the way to get to a photo wall," the 31-year-old says he hasn't spoken to anyone from his series since October last year.
While he's definitely not ruling out finding love on TV, Ryan said being on 'MAFS' had changed the way women now approach him. Being on the show definitely "had its pluses where a lot more girls will approach you but it also has a lot of negatives".
"You don't know whether they want you or they want you from TV which is something I don't want to get involved in, so I've avoided having relationships with anyone that comes up [to me]," he continued.
"I was seeing two girls this year and both of them didn't know who I was when I met them, which was such a relief," Ryan added, "I don't know if I want to meet someone else in the industry, in the media, which makes it easier or… stay single for the rest of my life," he said, laughing as he added, "marry my hand and the bridesmaid is a bottle of moisturiser!"
Ryan wouldn't be the first to survive the jungle only to head straight into the bach pad. Last year Angie Kent's time in camp inspired her to become the Bachelorette later that year where she met her current beau Carlin Sterritt. But who knows, perhaps Ryan may find that special someone in the bunk next to him in camp.

Works Minister Lennox Weston has been released from hospital
Lennox Weston
Works Minister Lennox Weston has been released from hospital, Government Chief of Staff Lionel 'Max' Hurst says.
According to Hurst, after spending approximately 10 days being observed by medical staff, the government minister was discharged.
"All of his vitals are working," Hurst said.
The St. Philips South Member of Parliament was admitted to hospital two Sundays ago.
It was initially reported by state media that he was admitted because of possible exposure to COVID-19.
Hurst later reported, however, that Weston did not have COVID-19.
Cilinda March 17, 2021 At 8:40 am
Glad you're home. If you can get some of those pounds off you should have a long and healthful life among us.
From The Sideline March 17, 2021 At 11:00 am
I agree. The government ministers should take their health more serious. They are a public figure and do not live for themselves alone. Same reason why they are among the first to be vaccinated.
I have suggested to the PM to have the Minister of Health come up with a health program for all the cabinet members. To include training and diet. There is a gym at the defense force (Old US Airforce Base). They can go their to train under supervision of a qualified trainer. The USA congresmen/women do regular training everyday to stay fit. Even old Biden looks fitter then some of these guys.
Glad you're home. If you can get some of those pounds off you should have a long and healthful life among us. We're rooting for you.
Joan Veira Salmon March 17, 2021 At 8:46 am
Yes, Mr. Weston definitely needs to shed some pounds. A healthier diet and some cardio exercise would go a long way. Remember, Sir, you first need to take care of yourself before you can take care of matters of state.

ABLP politicians are the only people in Antigua that goes to MSJMC when they are in good health and has no medical issues.
What do they know about MSJMC that Barnes and Strffie do not know?
Lionel Hurst went up there because he was thirsty then,
Asot went there in an ambulance to disrespect the health workers, then
Cutie went up there to be observed, now
Weston went there to do a covid test and it is negative 4 days later he is still there enjoying the ambience and good food.
Cannot say get well soon because they say the man is in good healrh and everything is in good working order. What I would say though is
Hope he had a wonderful vacation at MSJMC.
Again just like the others he went there to be observed.
Why ABLP POLITICIANS cannot admit they get sick just like the rest of us….why is it they have to lie about their health.
Big up Michael Brown exception to the vampires.

Poppy seed paste, also known as mohn, is a common ingredient in Ashkenazi Jewish pastries and desserts. It is made from ground poppy seeds and additional sweeteners. Examples of pastries featuring the filling include mohn kichel, babka, and, most famously, hamantashen. In Jewish cuisine, the filling is traditionally referred to as mohn, the word for poppy in both Yiddish and German. Poppy seed-filled pastries are particularly associated with the holiday of Purim.

Description

Poppy seed paste generally has a very thick, paste-like consistency similar to peanut butter or a thick custard, which can grow hard during cooking. It is typically sweet but has been said to have a subtle bitterness and citrus notes due to the poppy seeds. Sometimes lemon or orange zest is added to further accentuate these notes. As the poppy seeds have been ground to a powdery consistency, they have less of a tendency to get stuck in people's teeth than whole poppy seeds.

In Ashkenazi Jewish cuisine, there are two main kinds of poppy seed filling used in order to accommodate kosher dietary laws. Dairy mohn, which may contain milk, heavy cream, and/or butter; and which is used in baked goods such as hamantaschen which are made with a dough containing dairy and which will be served with a dairy meal. And pareve (non-dairy) poppy seed filling which typically replaces the milk with water and the butter with margarine or oil, and is used in pastries that are meant to be served with meat meals such as mohn rolls, pareve hamantaschen, etc. Pareve poppy seed filling is also suitable for vegan recipes.

History
Poppy seeds were one of the most popular spices in medieval Central Europe, known as mohn in German and Yiddish and mák in Hungarian.

Traditionally, poppy seed filling was almost exclusively prepared at home. Immigrants brought poppy seeds to the United States, with the first recipes for poppy seed cookies attested as early as 1889 in cookbooks published by German-Jewish immigrants. Beginning in the 20th century, various commercially-made canned varieties by brands such as "Solo" became available and are still sold online and in grocery stores in areas of the United States with significant Jewish populations such as the Northeast, Southern California, and South Florida. Homemade and premade renditions have significant differences in ingredients, and premade filling is generally dairy-free. Some assert that homemade filling is of superior quality as packaged poppy seed filling often contains ingredients such as high fructose corn syrup, and preservatives.

Use in religious festivals
Pastries featuring poppy seed filling are associated with holidays in several cultures. In Ashkenazi Jewish culture, poppy seed-filled hamantashen (translated as "Haman's ears" or "Haman's pockets") are a traditional pastry eaten during Purim, and are one of the most well-known uses of poppy seed filling.

Preparation

Poppy seed paste is prepared by grinding poppy seeds in a coffee grinder, blender, or food processor for several minutes until they reach a powdery consistency but before they turn into a paste. Grinding the poppy seeds helps release their natural oils which enhances the flavor of the final product, as well as theirs starches which help thicken the filling, and it also helps the poppy seeds not get stuck in the eater's teeth.

Depending on the recipe, milk (or water) and sugar (or sometimes honey or silan) are simmered in a saucepan until the sugar dissolves and the liquid is thoroughly heated. The ground poppy seeds, along with a flavoring such as lemon zest or vanilla extract is added, and sometimes other ingredients such as chopped walnuts are added. The mixture is then stirred continuously until it thickens and reaches a jam-like consistency. At this point, it is typically removed from the heat, and sometimes apricot jam may be added for flavor and cake crumbs or matzo meal may be added as a binder and to help ensure the paste does not leak out of when used as a filling in baked goods. It is then allowed to cool and refrigerated prior to being used as a filling or spread. It has a shelf life of approximately 3 days.

In other cultures
In Hungary, a Poppy seed roll (Bejgli) is made for Christmas.

Mexico -- The Ministry of Agriculture of the United Kingdom "invited" the British authorities to not control the source of more than 2 million cows exported to the European continent, in spite of the danger of infections and death caused by "mad cow disease." At the same time it decided to prohibit the sale of the dangerous meat in continental Europe, it authorized its exportation to eastern Europe and to the Third World. Also, you will recall, the sale in Latin America of radioactive milk, contaminated by the Chernobyl disaster, has been allowed -- milk which still has no European market. In our country [Mexico], has been destined for human consumption corn not fit for pigs. In fact, money does not stink, as the Romans used to say and, when it comes to business, there are no lack of states which push to one side all scruples and play with death, for supposed advantage.
The war in Chechnya, terrible for the number of victims and for the atrocities suffered by a colonized people, is almost a case study in how private fortunes are amassed at the cost of public misery and misfortune. General Alexander Lebed, in his collision with the recycled Establishment that controls always oil and armaments and holds high places in the Russian government, has denounced the fact that these persons have a financial interest in war and oppose peace. Journalists add, for their part, that behind the combats, what is liberated is a battle for oil and lining the pockets of many military commands. The thing is that, to its misfortune, Chechnya is very rich in hydrocarbons and oil, and what is produced or passes through there can make millionaires, in the blink of an eye, those who, in Moscow, secretly export fuel. Besides, a war gives power to the military and serves to conceal a contraband in weapons. It is enough, in effect, to declare that the combatants have consumed or destroyed quantities of arms and munitions beyond what has occurred in order to be able to sell them clandestinely in the exterior via a traffic that ensures that combats and bombings will be intensive and will last as long as possible.
Power, evidently, corrupts so-called "democratic societies" as much as it corrupts any others. The world technocrats, for their part, tend to consider the common human being a simple, predictable variable and to think that anything is good which offers the opportunity to oil the economic machine -- even the deaths of thousands of unknowns. Society, even in civilized Europe, can control neither the governments nor the economic decisions of the grand senors of finance. And from the point of view of ethics, we live in a period similar to the period of Roman decadence. More than ever is needed a total transparency to reveal acts of government, and social control over that government, a total liberty of investigation and information on the part of a free and independent press. At first glance, this might seem little, but that can be enough to put obstacles in the way of those who massively line their pockets by means of death.

San Mateo County Community College District (SMCCCD) and sustainability? Fascinating. Sustainability of what?
Sustainably trying to destroy the historic half-century-old garden for a parking lot?
Sustainably removing more than 200 old-growth trees from the ridgeline and slopes of the College of San Mateo?
Sustainably chopping down additional mature trees to make way for a parking lot and an amphitheater with panoramic views of the bay after the recent court ruling, which stated that "SMCCCD failed to comply with CEQA when it failed to conduct mandated environmental review over 200 mature trees"?
Sustainably spending thousands of taxpayer dollars to fight two California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA)-backed lawsuits filed by concerned community members and students?
advertising about how much the district cares about the residents and doing the Right Thing?
The only thing SMCCCD seems to be sustaining is the never-ending, relentless level of spending public money on artificial turf and private athletic-club locker rooms built relatively recently.

Opinion: 20 Bucks to Swim at College of San Mateo Pool!
I was surprised when my swim coach told me that the College of San Mateo has a new Olympic-size swimming pool. Then he said it costs $20 per drop-in visit!
I searched the college's website, which says to call the private, for-profit company that manages the pool to find out the drop-in cost. I did find that college staff get free use of the pool, which may explain why it was built at district headquarters on the San Mateo campus instead of the other campuses (Skyline, Canada), which don't have swimming pools.
When the voters approved the prior college bond, the money was supposed to go for "constructing and modernizing classrooms ... and the replacement of aging ventilation systems, removal of hazardous materials such as asbestos, and installation of alternative-energy programs."
The voters weren't told the college district was going to build a big swimming pool, much less charge us taxpayers who paid for it the highest per-visit charge in the state for any community college swimming pool.
The next time the college asks us to raise taxes for academics, its argument will be undermined by how it handled the new swimming pool, paid for by taxpayers but run like a private club for the moneyed and district staff.

A restaurant kitchen caught fire June 21 in Pacifica, but damage was kept to a minimum thanks to a sprinkler system, according to fire officials.
The fire at Rice and Roll, a Chinese restaurant at 683 Manor Drive, was reported around 7:25 a.m., according to the North County Fire Authority.
Firefighters found fire in the kitchen area that was being held in check by an installed sprinkler system. The fire was quickly extinguished with minimal damage and no injuries.
Fire officials said the fire highlighted the importance of working fire alarms, smoke detectors, and sprinkler systems in businesses and homes.
Our Southern California correspondent Michael Shaw says he woke up the other morning and found this 20-inch-long zucchini resting atop the fruit bowl on his kitchen counter in Northridge.
