with LINHERR HOLLINGSWORTH
After a successful career in fashion with Adrienne Vittadini and Eli Tahari, Linherr Hollingsworth turned her artful eye and inquisitive mind to interior design. "Fashion is all about the layering, the line, and the unexpected detail," she explains. "I find clothing very architectural." As the owner and principal of Linherr Hollingsworth Design, this gifted designer and skilled project manager collaborates with homeowner, architect, artisans, and builder to create carefully considered environments that "people just feel really great in." For Linherr, the creative process begins with assessing and honoring the existing architectural structure, millwork, and mouldings—and working with a talented team of professionals to form a plan that brings out an interior's best qualities in a way that is honest, harmonious, and subtly sexy. "I love to make spaces that our clients feel beautiful in," she says. "Because at the end of the day, you just want to love where you live."
Classic, handsome, and organic materials brought together in a way that is "sexy, but never garish."
Inspired by:
"Fashion continues to inspire me in a huge way. Whether it's a Versace gown or a McQueen jacket, it's all about the layering, the line, and the materials. I find clothing very architectural."
From Alexander McQueen: Savage Beauty, by Andrew Bolton (Metropolitan Museum of Art).
Mood Board:
Handsome classics with an artful edge. Geometrics and shapes that are unexpected. Organic textures (wood grain, metal, linen) paired with nailheads or beads, shimmer and silk.
"I love to make spaces that our clients feel beautiful in. Because at the end of the day, you just want to love where you live."
Every home needs...
"a soft side."
High-contrast black and white. Wood grains and metallics. "Ivory is a huge favorite of mine. Ivory rooms in the evening, with the right lighting... everyone looks beautiful in ivory."
The BEST part of working in New York:
"Curiosity is a really good thing. I like to keep people on their toes." And so does NYC.

RAS Main Lecture Series – Chinese Workers in World War One France
China, Chinese workers in France, forgotten history, history, lecture, Paul Bailey, World War One
On Thursday 13 November we were delighted to welcome Professor Paul Bailey (University of Durham) who gave a lecture titled Chinese Workers in World War One France: an Overlooked Episode in the History of Chinese Foreign Policy and Chinese Labour. Indeed, this aspect of the history of the First World War was largely unknown to many in the audience, and listeners greatly appreciated Professor Bailey's efforts to bring this chapter to light. Hopefully Professor Bailey's endeavours will inspire other scholars—from France, China, the British Isles, and elsewhere—to pursue further research into this important episode. The lecture was followed by a lively discussion and a drinks reception.
Professor Bailey addresses the audience
The next instalment in our lecture programme is at 6pm on 11 December, when Dr Susan Babaie (Courtauld Institute) will lecture on A nān-o halvā (Bread and Sweets) in the V&A: Thoughts on the Aesthetics of 'taste'. We also have several lectures coming up as part of our Student Lecture Series. On 25 November, Simon Denham (University of Manchester and British Museum) will lecture on Identity and Power in Neolithic stamp seals from Greater Mesopotamia; and on 3 December, we have talks from Angela Becher (SOAS) on A Look Behind the Façade: Critical Inquiries into China's Monumental Architecture in Contemporary Chinese Art, and Cleo Roberts (University of Liverpool) on Waterscapes in Indian Cities. Our lectures are free and open to all, and we very much hope to see you there.

Penn GSE News
New honor for pioneering faculty member Yasmin Kafai
Yasmin Kafai, the chair of Penn GSE's Teaching, Learning and Leadership division, has been named the inaugural Lori and Michael Milken President's Distinguished Professor in Education.
"For many years Lori and Michael Milken and Milken Family Foundation have generously supported the innovative work we do at Penn GSE. I am especially grateful for their latest gift, which recognizes Yasmin Kafai's crucial contributions to the learning sciences, especially concerning girls and coding." - Pam Grossman
World-renowned in the field of learning sciences, Professor Kafai decodes the complicated ways that young people use computer programming to learn.
Dr. Yasmin Kafai
"I'm fascinated with the idea of looking at kids as designers, and seeing what kinds of tools and opportunities we can create that support children and youth of all ages to engage with coding," says Kafai. "I'm particularly interested in activities where kids have reservations about participating, and using what they already love doing to stretch their imaginations – as well as their ideas of what they can accomplish."
Kafai joined Penn GSE in 2008. At the core of her work is a passionate interest in understanding how kids learn, especially by leveraging aspects of creative play. Early in her career, she taught programming by interesting kids in the creation of their own video games. Together with colleagues at the MIT Media Lab, she helped develop scratch.mit.edu, the world's largest programming community for kids – which also hosts the largest collection of games designed by kids for kids.
Kafai continues to be at the forefront of computer learning. One facet of her current research, funded by the National Science Foundation, explores ways to harness the power of the maker movement to both improve computer science education and bring more women and underrepresented minorities into the field. Hundreds of students and their teachers in the Los Angeles public schools learn about computing by making electronic textiles, where they design and stitch circuits with conductive thread and program sensors. Based on this work, the introductory curriculum will be released next year for free by Exploring Computer Science, a national project with over 2,000 participating computer science teachers.
The timing of her new chair also coincides with an exciting new phase for Kafai's research – exploring the world of synthetic biology and bio-design. Considered less a natural science and more of a design science, synthetic biology is the design and construction of new biological entities such as enzymes, genetic circuits and cells for useful purposes. Kafai feels that the field holds enormous promise, and is excited by the idea of bringing it to schools, especially to students who would not normally have access to these design activities in their classrooms.
She is working with Orkan Telhan from Penn's School of Design and Karen Hogan from Biology with a $300,000 National Science Foundation grant aimed at creating low-cost, portable bio-maker labs and curriculum for high school students. Kafai has found that designing with biology is a natural extension of her work around computer coding.
WATCH: High school students and teachers engage in synthetic biology by building genetic circuits that let microorganisms change color, smell, and shape.
On February 17, 2018, she will host a Penn GSE conference for high school teachers, tool designers, and public policymakers to think about what direction biology design should take in K-12 education.
It's clear that Kafai is propelled by a pioneering spirit to harness and understand the building blocks of learning in intriguing new ways. She is equally motivated by the idea of creating new learning horizons for under-represented children – horizons that they might never have experienced without Kafai's own sparks of curiosity.

We really kicked y'all's Tanton
The "Music Is the Universal Language" slogan on the Nashville Convention and Visitors Bureau ad above strikes me as the perfect victory rally for a city whose mayor has vetoed and whose citizenry has voted down an out-of-state campaign to make language a wedge issue.
It reminds me of the 1991 "You Are So Nashville If..." winner, a send-up of cross-cultural miscues that ends in, "We really kicked y'all's ass in that Desert Storm," except this time, the city is telling John Tanton where to stick it.
The Nashville CVB ad campaign, which in reality probably has no political angle, features Heidi Newfield under the anti-Tanton banner copy, and below, it says "Connect with Nashville on VisitMusicCity.com" which gets you to the main page of the CVB's web site. There is also a separate "Connect with Music City" page, where visitors can keep up with Nashville via the CVB's Twitter, Facebook, MySpace, and YouTube accounts.
Connecting people, not disconnecting people. That's what a welcoming, hospitable city is all about.
Speaking of social media, if you follow HispanicNashville.com on Twitter (@muybna) or on Facebook (http://facebook.hispanicnashville.com), you know that the recent lull in stories here is due to the computer that runs the site being down. It's back up now - the optical drive is fixed, but the WiFi connection is spotty now, which is weird, because the computer's WiFi alone seems to work fine, and the wireless network alone seems to work fine, but it's the combination of the two that is not working well. I'm temporarily fixing that by just plugging my home Ethernet cable directly into the computer. It's all about connections, one way or another.

Oscar-winning Argentina film The Secret in Their Eyes is at the Belcourt
"This is a real movie, the kind they literally don't make very much anymore." - Roger Ebert
Oscar-winning Argentina film "The Secret in Their Eyes" is playing at The Belcourt. It's a thriller about Argentina, a 25-year-old crime, and corruption and love in the legal system. Who's going with me?
Click here for showtimes, which are 3:30 p.m. and 6:05 p.m. today and Thursday, and 7:00 p.m. Tuesday and Wednesday of this week.
Roger Ebert of the Chicago Sun-Times gave the film 4 stars and said:
[T]he Oscar means your chances of seeing this film are much increased. You won't regret it. This is a real movie, the kind they literally don't make very much anymore.
The trailer is below, and the official writeup is here:
THE SECRET IN THEIR EYES
Dir. Juan Jose Campanella, Argentina, 2009, 127min, 35mm
With THE SECRET IN THEIR EYES, Argentinean writer-director-editor Juan Jose Campanella has created a multi-layered and poignant thriller interweaving the personal lives of a state prosecution investigator and a judge, with a manhunt spanning twenty-five years. Recently retired criminal court investigator Benjamin (Ricardo Darin), decides to write a novel based on a twenty-five year old unresolved rape and murder case, which still haunts him. Sharing his plans with Irene (Soledad Villamil), the beautiful judge and former colleague he has secretly been in love with for years, Benjamin's initial involvement with the case is shown through flashbacks, as he sets out to identify the murderer. But Benjamin's search for the truth will put him at the center of a judicial nightmare, as the mystery of the heinous crime continues to unfold in the present, testing the limits of a man seeking justice and personal fulfillment at last.

$75,000 price tag on unconstitutional detention of and seizure of cash from Carmina Perez on I-40
On July 22, 2008, the same day this story about Juana Villegas ran on HispanicNashville.com, Carmina Perez and her ten year old son Raphael Adame were driving from Nashville to visit Perez's sick mother in Texas and her father-in-law in Mexico, who was also ill. Perez is a native of Mexico and permanent resident of the United States, having lived in this country over thirty years. She and her husband own Tex-Mex Cleaning Service, a business that cleans homes and offices.
While Perez and her son were still driving down I-40 in Tennessee, barely outside of Nashville, they were pulled over for allegedly following too closely to another vehicle. The traffic stop lasted three-and-a-half hours.
The person who pulled Perez over was Deputy Ricky Wade of the Henry County Sheriff's Department, which is where Paris is. Wade happened to be a member of a regional drug task force, so he asked Perez if he could search the vehicle. Perez consented. Wade asked Perez if she was carrying drugs. Perez said no, and Wade ran his drug dog around the car, finding no drugs, drug paraphernalia, or weapons. Wade asked Perez if she was carrying currency, and Perez said yes - about $14,000 to pay for her mother's and father-in-law's medical care.
Wade says he became suspicious of the source and destination of the money when he learned that Perez had been accused of and cleared of a drug crime at one point; that her paper trail identified her alternately by her maiden name and also her second surname, which Wade considered to be aliases; and that she had changed her social security number once, which Perez said was because she had been a victim of identity theft. He didn't believe her that the money was from her cleaning business and was going to her parents' health care.
So, even though he didn't charge her with any crime, Wade took the $14,869.00 from Perez.
Perez got legal representation (Brentwood's Craft & Sheppard, P.L.C.) and sued in September 2008. The justice system took less than two years to provide Perez with legal vindication, the return of her money, plus an additional $75,000 in damages.
On March 3, 2009, an administrative judge ruled in Perez's favor, and ordered the return of her money. Then, on May 14, 2010, federal jurors in Jackson said that Wade violated Perez's constitutional right to be free from unlawful detention (on the side of the road for over three hours) following the conclusion of the traffic stop, and that the seizure of the money was a violation of her constitutional right to be free from unlawful seizure of money from her vehicle.
The jury awarded Perez and her son $75,000 for these violations of their constitutional rights.
Noteworthy is that Perez won on her Fourth Amendment claim, which is based on
[t]he right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures
Perez's Fourteenth Amendment selective enforcement claim, that "her money was seized and she was detained for a long period of time because she was Hispanic," was dismissed before it got to the jury because of a lack of evidence that "similarly situated persons outside her category were not prosecuted."
Perez's request that Wade be taken off duty was also denied, because she could not show that she herself would be affected by Wade's continued performance of his duties as-is.
In a quote published by the Paris Post-Intelligencer, Wade's boss, Henry County Sheriff Monte Belew, seemed to say both that Wade did make a mistake and that Wade didn't make a mistake:
"We apologize for this and will try not to make the same mistake twice," Belew said. "We do respect the court's decision, however we do not agree with it. This department stands behind Deputy Wade 110 percent and do support him."
I contacted Belew, who initially indicated that he would be available to clarify, but then he failed to further respond.
The AP reported on this story, but the local journalist who gave it the most air time was WSMV's Demetria Kalodimos, in her stories here, here, and here.

On Friday, June 11, Metro School's Comité de Padres Latinos (COPLA) hosted ¡Lo Logramos! (We Made It!), its 3rd Annual Hispanic High School Student Graduation Celebration and Parents' Recognition Day of the Class of 2010.
The ceremony, held at the Boone Business Building of Trevecca Nazarene University, recognized approximately 400 MNPS Hispanic graduates, including Brenna Gonzalez and Mario Cardiel, salutatorian and valedictorian, respectively, from McGavock High School (pictured above).
The Tennessean published photos of the valedictorians and salutatorians of various high schools in Davidson County and Williamson County, and among them I noted Claudia Calvillo, valedictorian of Stratford High School. In 2008, Claudia was also named a "Princess" representing Guatemalan heritage in an event at a local church, the "Fiesta Cultural 'Clamor'".

World Cup starts today; the globe is watching, including these Nashville venues
The World Cup starts today. Yeah, it's kind of a big deal.
The U.S. is playing, as are Latin American countries Mexico, Uruguay, Argentina, Paraguay, Brazil, Chile, and Honduras. Mexico and Uruguay play in separate games today. Argentina and the U.S. play in separate games tomorrow.
The full TV schedule is here (U.S. English-language networks) and here (U.S. Spanish-language networks).
The Nashville Scene reported that the following Nashville venues will be showing the World Cup games:
Corner Pub Midtown (2000 Broadway, 327-9250), Sportsman's Grille (1601 21st Ave. S., 320-1633) and Sam's Sports Bar & Grill (1803 21st Ave. S., 383-3601) — and then there's our personal favorite, Savarino's Cucina (2121 Belcourt Ave., 460-9878)
I think I've also seen ads saying that all the World Cup games would be broadcast in the 12 South Tap Room - perhaps owner/operator Alex Torres has something to do with that (I think those ads were in the Scene, too.)
I'm sure you HispanicNashville.com readers know other places in Nashville where we can all watch the World Cup on the big screen - let us know in the comments, below.
And for all of us rooting for the U.S. team - or heck, if your team is an underdog, this is for you, too - here's a bonus video:

Musico a Musico to hold Worshiping Arts Congress August 4-7 at Christ Church
Nashville-based Músico a Músico, which puts on four-day worship seminars for musicians and other artists in locations across North and South America, will be conducting its second Nashville Congress on August 4-7, 2010 at Christ Church. More details are at Músico a Músico's web site here, and at its Facebook page here.
The mission of is Músico a Músico is
to train and inspire Latino worship musicians and artists to excel at their craft and to aid them to achieve a lifestyle of worship.
Here is the May announcement from Músico a Músico, which is already a little out of date - I've been told that a new roster is soon to be announced, with additional guest artists - but here is what we know so far:
Músico a Músico is a teaching ministry! It's who we are and what we do! And, we're again going to be in Nashville, our home city, this summer for the 2010 Congreso of Worshiping Arts. The dates are August 4 – 7 and the location is Christ Church. Check out the Official Congreso web site at www.artesadorando.org.
Christ Church is where our music and arts school is located, Instituto Allegro Nashville. We're grateful for the "open doors" from Pastor Dan Scott and Christ Church. As you may have guessed, one of our main goals for these Nashville Congresos is to continue to raise awareness of the school and even give the students a place to use their talents. A few years ago MaM began to partner with Francis Castañeda from Lima, Peru. First of all to support his school in Lima, but later, as Francis joined MaM and now serves on our board of directors, we began to help him establish other "Instituto Allegro's" in several countries in South America. A part of MaM's vision has been to start a school of music and arts here in Nashville and almost two years ago that became a reality. So this year's Congreso will start our third year of classes for this school. Contact Rachel Vasquez at info@institutoallegro.org for more information.
The Nashville Congreso Team is almost complete but we do need qualified and passionate teacher/players for these spots: bass guitar, second keyboard and percussion. In addition, we would love to have a mime teacher as well for this Congreso. So if you or someone you know are available for any of these positions, please prayerfully consider this opportunity. Then contact me right away to discuss. The entire team is listed below.
Read the report on our most recent Aruba Congreso from early April 2010 that I hope you'll enjoy and that the Lord may speak to you through it about possibly participating with us in Nashville or in the near future. Here too is the photo link from Aruba.

Bonnaroo starts today, has Latino Alternativo tent
From Bonnaroo (H/T Dave Paulson):
Building on the success of last year's hugely successful "Africa!" tent, Bonnaroo has joined forces with guest curators Tomas Cookman and Amy Blackman-Romero of Cookman International / Nacional Records, to create the "Latino Alternativo" tent at Bonnaroo. All day long on Saturday, this tent will feature some of the most exciting alternative acts in Latin music today, along with top DJs, cutting edge video and visual art and more.
Los Angeles-based Ozomatli will headline the tent and serve as guest MCs during the day. Also featured will be Los Amigos Invisibles (USA/Venezuela), the Nortec Collective present: Bostich + Fussible (Mexico), Aterciopelados (Colombia), Mexican Institute of Sound (Mexico), and Bomba Estereo (Colombia). DJs from each of the groups will perform between sets creating a seamless musical experience throughout the day.
There will be special food vendors and more.
The Bonnaroo Music and Arts Festival is a four-day, multi-stage camping festival held on a beautiful 700-acre farm in Manchester, Tennessee every June, with this year's events to be held June 10-13.
Bonnaroo brings together some of the best performers in rock and roll, along with dozens of artists in complementary styles such as jazz, Americana, hip-hop, electronica, and just about any contemporary music you can think of. In addition to dozens of epic performances, the festival's 100-acre entertainment village buzzes around the clock with attractions and activities including a classic arcade, on-site cinema, silent disco, comedy club, theater performers, a beer festival, and a music technology village. For its peaceful vibe, near-flawless logistics, and unrivaled entertainment options, Rolling Stone magazine named this revolutionary entertainment experience one of the 50 moments that changed the history of rock and roll.

Richard Land to appear at press conference today for evangelical group Conservatives for Comprehensive Immigration Reform
Photo source: Texas GOP Vote
Last month, I posted about the participation of Nashville's Richard Land in the evangelical-centric Conservatives for Comprehensive Immigration Reform.
Yesterday, the Tennessean ran a Chris Echegaray cover story on Land and his role in the reform effort. Pastor Rafael Blanco of the Hispanic Baptist Church of Hendersonville was also quoted in that article, as being uncomfortable with preaching politics from the pulpit:
"I pray to God to change the hearts of our leaders when it comes to reform," Blanco said. "We should participate in politics, like any good citizen. And we have the right to identify with a party, but it shouldn't be done in church. If I'm wrong about that, may God forgive me."
Today, Conservatives for Comprehensive Immigration Reform will hold an in-person press conference in Washington, D.C., but with call-in capability for the press in other locations.
**Press Conference and Conference Call: Wednesday, June 9th at 11:00 AM EDT***
**Call-in number: 888-765-5547, Passcode: 1450977 **
Conservative Evangelical Leaders Gathering in Washington, DC,
Urging Action on Comprehensive Immigration Reform
Washington, DC - On Wednesday, June 9th at 11:00 AM EDT (10am CT, 8am PCT), Conservatives for Comprehensive Immigration Reform will have an in-person press conference in Washington, DC with some of the country's most influential evangelical leaders to discuss strategies for breaking the stalemate in Congress on immigration reform and pray for a solution to the moral, economic and political crisis that our broken immigration system is causing for millions of families around the nation. This in-press conference with call-in capability will feature speakers like Richard Land, President of the Southern Baptist Ethics and Religious Liberty Commission, the public policy arm of the largest Protestant denomination in the U.S. with over 16 million members, Rich Nathan, Senior Pastor of The Vineyard Church of Columbus, OH, a church with a weekly church attendance of 8,500, and Leith Anderson, President of the National Association of Evangelicals, which represents 45,000 churches from over 40 different denominations. These leaders will be united in calling for action on immigration reform this year and meeting with Members of Congress, Congressional staffers, and the White House throughout the day.
This event will be open to all interested parties and press with a question and answer session at the end. Questions will also be taken from the telephone audience.

Dolores Gresham: first Latina in the Tennessee State Senate
Tennessee Senator Dolores Gresham
Republican State Senator Dolores R. Gresham is a San Antonio native, the granddaughter of Mexican immigrants to the U.S., and the first Latina State Senator in Tennessee history.
Known as Dolores Noguera Gresham to her fellow alumns of the University of the Incarnate Word (BA '64), she was first elected to the House as Representative of Tennessee's 94th District in 2002, and then in 2008 she was elected to the represent District 26 in the State Senate, becoming the first Latina in the Tennessee State Senate.
Gresham was a Lieutenant Colonel in the U.S. Marines. She worked at Quantico, Virginia in 1978 and was an inspiration to other Latinas in service.
Gresham's Mexican-American heritage has come up in the news recently in the context of her sponsorship of a law to bring immigration checks to every local jail in Tennessee. She told Joe White of WPLN:
I'm proud to be an American of Mexican descent. I am the granddaughter of immigrants who fled the violence of the revolution in Mexico, just after the turn of the 20th Century. My father was a member of the greatest generation. He served in the United States Army in World War Two. My parents had seven children, and five of them wore the uniform of the U.S. armed forces.
And to counter arguments that her bill would lead to racial profiling, she told Travis Loller of the Associated Press:
If there's racial profiling going on, since I'm Mexican-American, then I would be in jail.
Interestingly enough, the WPLN piece revealed two instances of stereotype profiling: Gresham assumed Nashville attorney Gregg Ramos was an immigration attorney because he's a pro-migrant Mexican-American lawyer (Ramos tells me he's the person whose phone call Gresham describes in the piece), and Ramos assumed that because Gresham is a Mexican-American and a Catholic that she might be reluctant to sponsor such a bill. Both were wrong.
Ramos and Gresham are both natives of the Southwest, of Mexican heritage, with roots in Chihuahua, Mexico.
The Noguera children offered a glimpse into their family scrapbook with this Christmas 2007 video:

Lipscomb University, not silent in welcoming all applicants regardless of immigration status, creates scholarships specifically for Hispanic students and makes them immigration neutral

"We seek to be Christian intentionally, courageously and graciously … and it's not very courageous if everybody always agrees with everything you are doing"
Large institutions sometimes hide the fact that many of their activities are immigration-neutral, but Lipscomb University in Nashville is not one of them. As Janell Ross of the Tennessean reports, President L. Randolph Lowry believes one role of the Christian university is to educate some of Nashville's children who excel in high school despite a lack of immigration credentials:
"It would be fine with me if our government took the lead in this immigration conversation," Lowry said. "But as the federal government is doing whatever it is or is not doing, we are graduating Hispanic students from Nashville's high schools. Taxpayers are paying for that whether they are documented or not. … So the question becomes, 'What's next?'"
Some of the background and context is included in the full article here, including these details:
For the past five years, Lipscomb University has recruited, admitted and provided private financial aid to students without regard to their immigration status.
This month, Lipscomb University President L. Randolph Lowry announced plans to create one full scholarship for a Hispanic student sponsored by SunTrust bank. He's soliciting support from other local corporations for 12 to 15 additional scholarships, and all of them will be open to American-born Hispanic students, along with legal and possibly illegal Hispanic immigrants.
"We seek to be Christian intentionally, courageously and graciously … and it's not very courageous if everybody always agrees with everything you are doing," he [Lipscomb University President L. Randolph Lowry] said.
Lowry is hoping the business community will feel a sense of obligation to contribute to that school's new scholarship program.
"I think it's appropriate for businesses that want to make money off the Hispanic community, the Latino community, to invest in that community in some way other than putting up a billboard on Nolensville Road," he said.
Read the full article here, in which Ross also reports that over half of American institutions of higher education have immigration-neutral admissions. In Nashville, that group includes Lipscomb, Vanderbilt, Belmont, and (as of this year) Trevecca Nazarene.

Racist graffiti mars Hispanic and African-American families' homes in Madison
Brian Haas of the Tennessean reports here on the race-tinged trespass and property damage:
Carla Gordon always felt welcome in her Madison neighborhood. That is, until Wednesday morning, when she walked outside to find "KKK" and a Nazi swastika painted on her driveway.
"Honestly, it's really, really scary," said Gordon, 49, who is black and works for the Tennessee Department of Labor. "I remember telling people that in all of my 49 years I've never experienced outright racism, let alone hate. This is my first experience with that."
Metro police are investigating two possible hate crimes in the neighborhood, one at Gordon's house and more graffiti at a Hispanic neighbor's home two houses down, which had identical messages painted on a car.
Haas also reports that there were only 16 hate crimes in all of Davidson County in 2009.

Cuba business funded Grassmere; Castro revolution turned it into Nashville Zoo
Croft House at Grassmere

Jenny Upchurch of the Tennessean reports here on the bicentennial celebration of the Grassmere house at the Nashville Zoo, including its ties to Cuba. The Zoo would likely not be at the Grassmere property if it were not for Cuba.
According to the article, the Crofts were the fifth family to live at Grassmere, and the patriarch of the Croft family had a sugar plantation in Cuba. Sisters Elise and Margaret spent most of the year in Cuba, returning to Grassmere only in the summers. Part of the reason the Croft sisters could hold onto Grassmere for so long was income from the plantation in Cuba:
The sisters moved back to Grassmere permanently in 1931, living comfortably on the income from the farm and Cuba holdings.
The income from Cuba ended when Fidel Castro took over the island nation:
The sisters' income from Cuba vanished with Fidel Castro's revolution [in 1959], and they struggled to pay property taxes on the increasingly valuable land.
With income dwindling, Elise and Margaret Croft needed an exit strategy, and they decided to donate the land on the condition that they could live there until their death. That donation led to Grassmere becoming the Nashville Zoo.
The impact of life in Cuba on Elise and Margaret Croft was a subject of differing opinions. Their mother seems to have had the opinion that it was unrefined:
"Their mother felt Cuba was not the most marvelous place to bring up two young ladies, so each summer she brought them back here or (took them) to London or Paris to go to galleries and cafés," Joe Thompson Jr., a distant relative of the two, recalled in a 1986 interview.
But the sisters' friend, Ruth Warner, thinks living in Cuba expanded their horizons:
"They were refined Southern gentle ladies. But with their time in Cuba, I think they were a little bit exotic. They were very connected to the land, very literate, and had some more international perspectives."

Ray Stevens dons sombrero in sloppy immigrant law commentary
Nashville's own legendary musical humorist Ray Stevens used to write songs about the "First Self-Righteous Church" and how "We shouldn't care about the length of his hair, or the color of his skin."
Now Stevens is writing "Come to the U.S.A.," a music video where he dresses in ethnic garb and makes sloppy arguments about my brothers, sisters and neighbors who don't have an American visa or passport. He's getting a lot of attention for it, including softball interviews from Fox News.
Ray Stevens, welcome to that shameful pantheon of prominent Nashvillians circulating negativity against Hispanics, many of whom are making Mexican caricature the Bible Belt's new insult. Please get your head on straight by talking to two people:
Raul Lopez, of the National Republican Hispanic Assembly of Tennessee, who has given a microphone to and has also tried to clear the names of fellow conservatives who go a little too negative in the immigration debate - namely,
the 'conservatives voices' that might generate ill-will to Americans, that happen to be Hispanic, as a by-product of their popular commentary on illegal immigration.
and Mack, of Coyote Chronicles, who shares fewer of your political views, but whose parents were Americans before the federal government ever recognized them as such. Yes, he is a child of parents who didn't have a visa or U.S. citizenship when they arrived, and you need to hear about them.
The people who truly need amnesty are the ones who are making fun of and circulating lies about the poor, the disenfranchised, and the powerless.

On the back of this changing macro-economic outlook, continued political uncertainty around Brexit and disappointing corporate earnings, most European government bond yields have come down over the last six months.
In addition, current swap market pricing implies that government bond yields will stay lower for longer and not widen as much over the next five years compared to our base case forecasts.
Based on these recent economic and market trends, we consider a lower-for-longer (LFL) scenario, where we assume that property yields widen in-line with current swap pricing, albeit 41% less quickly than our base case.
There are two main results. First, with lower spot bond yields, the required rate of returns have come down for both the base case and LFL scenario, using our required and expected rate of return framework as outlined in our Annual Outlook 2019.
Second, in our LFL scenario 58 of 90 markets are now rated attractive compared to 21 in our base case. This is due to the fact that in the LFL scenario rental growth more easily offsets slower property yield widening compared to the base case.

Documents and visas

What documents are needed to travel to Kaliningrad
To get to Kaliningrad by train, plane or private car. But depending on the type of transport that a traveler will choose to travel to the former königsberg, with you will need to take a different list of documents.
Do I need a passport when traveling from Moscow to Kaliningrad
How to get to Kaliningrad
What are the rules of passage of the border with Belarus
- Passport of the citizen of the Russian Federation,
- the passport.
To reach Kaliningrad by train without a valid passport impossible, because in order to get into the city, you must drive through two States – Belarus and Lithuania. And if the visa-free regime in the Republic of Belarus allows the Russians to move across the country for a regular passport, Lithuania has such agreements no. Therefore, to without incident to travel in transit through Lithuania, you need to have a valid passport. However, not only him. For passengers traveling via Lithuania to Kaliningrad by train, issued a special document – DFC railway. Simplified travel document allows staying on the territory of the Republic for no longer than 6 hours. Nominally DFC is equivalent to a visa, but does not allow crossing the Lithuanian border on another form of transport other than railway. The document is issued at purchase of the ticket at the railway ticket office. After that, the consular Department of Lithuania sends a request that takes at least twenty-eight hours. After this time the passenger needs to go to the cashier and learn about the decision of the Lithuanian side. In case of negative response the passenger may return the ticket and get a refund.
Travel to Kaliningrad by plane is not only faster than the train trip, but also involves less paperwork. You can buy the ticket like for a regular and foreign passport. In this design no additional documents (visas) are required. Of course, if you don't have a 2-3 day trip from Kaliningrad to Lithuania or to Poland. Then a Schengen visa in the country you plan to go, definitely.
In order to get to Kaliningrad by car, it is also necessary to issue a Schengen visa. To obtain the consular Department of the Embassy you need to provide a package of documents which includes: a completed application form, photos, medical insurance, a copy of the pages of the Russian passport, a Bank statement or proof of work, detailed information on the route of travel and receipt of paid visa fee. For those who often travel to Kaliningrad, there is a possibility of registration of UTD – simplified transport document. But it give only to those who registered in the Kaliningrad region who have relatives living there or who often travels to the former königsberg on business.
To buy tickets for the train to Kaliningrad on an emergency basis will not work - consular officers must be at least 28 hours to make a decision on the issuance of simplified travel documents. By the way, to take a train at random, if the results of UPD was denied, will not work: no DFC, no one will put the traveler on the train.
The most convenient and fastest way to move, to avoid red tape with the documents is a plane. The cost of tickets can be quite budget if you book them for 3-4 months prior to intended date of travel.

The Steelers are at the center of another possible controversy, but this one doesn't have anything to do with the National Anthem.
The team is being accused of using a deflated football during Thursday's preseason game against the Philadelphia Eagles.
Just what the NFL needs, another ridiculous controversy to take attention away from the game.


The dingo-pariah type village dogs of Asia and Africa have long been known to science, and to students of dog evolution and of landraces; though they are largely overlooked by general dog breed fans.
The 1960 book 'Pariahunde' by Dr Rudolphina Menzel and Dr R Menzel was the first dedicated study of pariah dogs (those of Israel). The Menzels quote earlier writings on pariah dogs by zoologists Theophile Studer, Otto Antonius, Emil Hauck, Max Hilzheimer, Theodor Haltenorth, and the painter and author Richard Strebel.
These dogs belong to a broad group classified as primitive and aboriginal dogs, distinct from modern breeds. They include the Australian Dingo, the Canaan Dog of Israel, the New Guinea Singing Dog and the Central African village dog, ancestor of the African Basenji.
The Indian counterpart is the Indian Pariah Dog, the original and predominant domestic dog type in the plains and lower-altitude hill ranges of the subcontinent. The type can be described as a natural breed or landrace.
Our site is dedicated to this pan-Indian aboriginal dog: the Indian Pariah Dog or INDog as we prefer to call it today (short for 'Indian Native Dog').
The INDog has evolved entirely through natural selection, without deliberate human intervention. The result is a very hardy dog, highly alert, intelligent and capable of independent thinking; a human commensal, yet perfectly adapted for survival in a free-ranging life.
All Indian languages have a term for 'native dog,' clearly acknowledging the existence of an indigenous dog type. Erect ears, short coat and curled tail are widely recognized as characteristics of native dogs.
However a baffling misconception prevails among urban Indians that all local dogs are 'mongrels'.
While indigenous dog populations have become admixed in cities, the original local dog, the INDog, is in fact of 'purer' lineage than many modern European breeds. The majority of European breed dogs have been created only in the last 200 years, often by mixing two or more breeds. In comparison, village dog populations in the more remote parts of India have minimal or no genetic admixture.
Prior to the recently available tool of genetic testing, we have always used three indicators to determine whether or not the dog population of a particular site is purely indigenous, or admixed with non-native breeds.
The first criterion is uniform INDog-type morphology in the entire free-ranging dog population at the site.
The second is relative geographic remoteness of the site: specifically its distance from large towns and cities.
The third is a 'traditional', economically backward human community at the site. The dog populations in such rural communities are generally uniformly INDog-type, since villagers of this socio-economic profile do not acquire European breed dogs.
Urban dog populations, in contrast, have long shown varied morphology including features of common European breeds, indicating significant admixture. These features include completely dropped ear flaps, long-haired coats and shaded sable coats, none of which are seen in INDogs. The presence of large numbers of poorly-supervised pet European breed dogs in cities easily explains the mixed appearance of many urban street dogs. While many individual dogs in towns and cities may still be indigenous, these populations also bear non-native genes which are free to spread.
Our conclusions about purely indigenous populations and admixture were confirmed by the genetic testing of both village and urban Indian dogs between 2009-2015. This was for a landmark study on domestic dog origins in which the INDog Project collaborated: 'Genetic structure in village dogs reveals a Central Asian domestication origin', Shannon and Boyko, 2015, published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS). Pariah dogs in remote rural areas (including in tribal villages of Odisha state) were found to be indigenous, while urban free-ranging dogs from metro cities showed European ancestry components. Read the paper here.
One of the village dogs sampled for the Shannon and Boyko genetic study. She belonged to a family in the Angul district of Odisha, Eastern India.
We know from the archaeological record that domestic dogs have long existed in the subcontinent. However, the antiquity of the INDog specifically will remain a hypothesis, albeit a reasonable one, until ancient domestic dog DNA is analyzed. Going by the archaeological record, it seems a distinct possibility that the INDogs of today are the direct descendants of the pariah-type dogs that lived in human settlements 4500 years ago and earlier. There is moreover no evidence of any countrywide dog extermination event that could have disrupted this line of descent.
Below: Contemporary art work of the Gond tribe of Central India. Like other tribes of the peninsula, the Gond people traditionally used INDogs for hunting. Though hunting is illegal today, INDogs are still kept as livestock guardians, property guardians and companion dogs in Gond villages.

There are many references to dogs in ancient Indian literature: some of them are listed in our Archaeological record section. Read more….
Much more recently, a few Englishmen and Indians included Indian Pariah dogs in their writings about Indian fauna.
Harmsworth Natural history (1910-11) Volume 10 describes the pariah dogs of Asia including India, and the marked resemblance of some of them to the Australian Dingo.
The Indian environmentalist M Krishnan was a great dog enthusiast who often wrote about indigenous breeds including the Indian Pariah Dog. Here is his beautiful description of the pariah dog temperament: 'It is tractable, clever, even sagacious, self-reliant and absolutely incorruptible. It has an extremely hardy constitution and costs next to nothing to feed. There is no better house-dog. It is so clever and willing, you can teach it practically anything, it never makes friends with strangers whatever the bait, and will wake and give voice at the slightest suspicion of anything wrong. It does not keep howling all night, nullifying all attempts at sleep, but barks only when there is good reason. It is this quality, rather than the desire and ability to maul, that is wanted in a watch-dog and the Pariah has it…' – 'The Pariah', 1944, from the compilation of Krishnan's writings, 'Nature's Spokesman', edited by Ramachandra Guha (Oxford University Press).
W V Soman in 'The Indian Dog' (Popular Prakashan, India, 1963), the first book on Indian dog breeds, devoted a chapter to the pariah dog, explaining the difference between the aboriginal pariah dog and the mongrel, or mix-breed. We have uploaded the entire book here for dog enthusiasts.
The Kennel Club of India published an article on INDogs for the first time in their history, in the July 2015 issue of their journal, the Kennel Gazette.
Two recent scientific books feature indigenous village dogs of the world, including INDogs.
'Dawn of the Dog' by the biologist Janice Koler-Matznick (2016) emphasizes the importance of aboriginal dogs in researching domestic dog evolution: 'Genetics may someday pin down the geographic origin of the dog, but only researching the behaviour of aboriginal dogs and dingoes will give us a clue about why the original dog was able to meld so completely into human society.' A section of the book is dedicated to accounts of different primitive and aboriginal dogs including the Inuit Dog, New Guinea Dog and the INDog.
The other scientific book is 'Free-ranging dogs and wildlife conservation', edited by Matthew Gompper (2014). INDogs and our efforts to preserve them are mentioned in the chapter 'Dog conservation and the population genetic structure of dogs' by Ryan H. Boyko and Adam R. Boyko.
A National Geographic Channel documentary 'Search for the First Dog' by Working Dog Productions (2003) featured the Indian Pariah Dog along with similar aboriginal and primitive dogs of other countries.
The biggest threat to INDogs is genetic swamping by non-native breeds. Other indigenous dog populations have succumbed to this, notably in the Americas.
Though at first glance it may appear that there are large populations of purely indigenous village dogs still thriving in the Indian subcontinent, the truth is that non-native dogs are being introduced everywhere through the 'INDog range.' In the poorer countries of Asia and Africa it is a common social trend to acquire European breed dogs to display status and spending power. India is no exception.
This phenomenon was largely urban until recently, since urban societies have higher disposable income and lifestyle aspirations than rural. Most of the new-rich class of dog owners are not accustomed to dog care, and often leave their pets to roam and breed unsupervised.
Genetic testing of urban and rural Indian dogs showed that urban dogs were mixed with European breeds. 'Similar patterns in Papua New Guinea (Port Moresby), Nepal (Kathmandu), and India (Mumbai) suggest that foreign dogs are more likely to be brought to (or survive in) urban areas than in more remote regions'- 'Genetic structure in village dogs reveals a Central Asian domestication origin', Shannon and Boyko, 2015.
However, many rural areas now have admixed dog populations as well. The catalyst appears to be increased affluence of the human community. When a rural area gets developed and transformed through such factors as tourism, tea and coffee plantations, or the mushrooming of urban people's weekend homes, a predictable result is the introduction of European breed dogs and admixture of the indigenous dog population.
The name INDog was coined by Col. Gautam Das as an acronym for Indian Native Dog. We wanted an alternative name to 'Indian Pariah Dog', which is a generic name and rather long. Moreover the word 'pariah' has negative connotations for some members of the Indian public, with the exception of landrace dog enthusiasts who have long been familiar with the term.
We have a very strong reason for avoiding an Indian language name: there is NO pan-Indian word meaning 'native'. India has 22 official languages and many more mother tongues. The Hindi word for 'native', desi, is used in north India only. 'Native dog' translates very differently in other parts of India, for instance, into deshi kukur in Bengali, deshiya naayi in Kannada, deshi kuttra or gavthi kuttra in Marathi, dhekura kukur in Assamese, to list just a few. An English name avoided the whole problem of regional bias.
Over the last two decades village dogs have received growing scientific attention due to their genetic diversity, behaviour, and their importance in unraveling the mystery of domestic dog evolution. Besides being the subject of genetics and ethology studies, they are also the focus of the Primitive and Aboriginal Dogs Society (PADS), a group of scientists, breed fanciers and enthusiasts that promotes village dog races around the world.
However, within India our indigenous village dogs have never attracted consistent interest or research until recently. Public attitudes to native dogs are clouded by ignorance and fallacies. INDogs are also heavily burdened by the ecology of free-ranging dogs per se. While the entities 'INDog' and 'free-ranging dog' overlap, the two are not synonymous or interchangeable (in fact, most free-ranging dogs today appear to be mix-breeds). Amid controversies over free-ranging dogs as threats or victims, the identity of the INDog as a unique aboriginal landrace gets completely ignored.
Our project focuses on this aspect.
We set up the INDog Project to bridge the glaring gap between academia and the dog-literate segment of the general public. It is an independent research and education initiative, not affiliated to any for-profit or non-profit organization.
We first began the project in 2002 under the name 'Indian Pariah Dog Club'. Our blog 'Are you a pariah dog fan?' was launched in 2007, and the first version of this website in 2010.
The content of this website has been written and compiled by us. The photos were taken by INDog Project members and associates, along with a few more that have been used with the permission of the owners.
We participated in the research for the genetic diversity study 'Genetic structure in village dogs reveals a Central Asian domestication origin', Shannon and Boyko, 2015, published in PNAS.
We maintain an INDog site record, listing locations where pure INDog-type populations are still found.
Our social media community, The INDog Club, disseminates knowledge in an informal manner for general dog lovers. We encourage the adoption of village INDogs. We showcase pet INDogs and INDog-mixes (we call the latter 'Indies') on our platforms. Our blog has showcased more than 400 pets in the last ten years. Unlike the 'man-made' Indian breeds, the INDog has never undergone selection for any specific function such as hunting or guarding. It has no inherited traits that make it unsuited to being an urban family pet, provided it gets sufficient outdoor exercise. Read our Breed description.
To help first-time owners, we compiled a Temperament Guide based on direct feedback from 45 owners in the INDog Club community.
The Kennel Club of India has expressed interest in INDogs, and support for the INDog Project and our future efforts to standardize and register the breed.
We hope our updated website will enthuse and educate more dog lovers about our indigenous village dogs, and inspire dog fanciers to support our efforts to preserve this unique part of our animal heritage.
Our project is aimed at dog fanciers and the dog-literate segment of the general public. However, since we started this project in 2002, we have noticed that our material gets used by a number of street dog activists (on both sides of the street dog issue), commercial organisations, rescue organisations and other groups, to promote their own activities and agendas.
With a few exceptions, this has always done without our consent.
2. to share information about this topic with dog lovers.
The genetic profile and history of INDogs have no bearing on the management of street dog populations.
We do not approve the use of our material to justify perpetuating free-ranging dog populations on city streets, highways and other dangerous locations.
Dogs in India evolved to live in small villages and settlements, not in environments densely packed with humans and motorized traffic.
Urban free-ranging dogs live extremely hazardous lives, always vulnerable to injury and death through vehicle hits, or through abuse and ill-treatment. Crowded city conditions force them into constant conflict with humans. It is in the worst interests of both dogs and humans to perpetuate such populations. Safety should be the only focus here, not ancestry.
We endorse the strategy of high-reach vaccination and neutering programmes by credible, efficient organisations such as the Worldwide Veterinary Service.
Janice Koler-Matznick, founder of Primitive & Aboriginal Dogs Society (PADS), and to Gautam Das who first championed the INDog (and coined the name), for their encouragement, support, and contribution to this Project from its inception.

Q: How to read names into a pointer array and output them? Here is what I got so far:
#include <iostream>
#include <fstream>

using namespace std;

int main()
{
    int characterList = 0;
    char* dynamo = new char[1000];
    char* buffer = dynamo;
    ifstream input("wordlist.txt");
    if (input.is_open())
    {
        input >> dynamo[characterList];
        while (input.eof())
        {
            characterList++;
            input >> dynamo[characterList];
            cout << dynamo[characterList];
        }
    }
    else
    {
        cout << "File not opened" << endl;
    }
    return;
}

I'm a beginner so I do apologize if this looks like terrible coding practice. I created a text file with a quote from Bill Cosby that I'm trying to read one word at a time. The quote is "I don't know the key to success, but the key to failure is trying to please everybody." I'm trying to read one word at a time from a text document ignoring punctuation. I know there are a lot of questions similar to this, but they are using code that I have not learned so I'm sorry for having a repeating question. I have not learned getline (I used cin.getline) and #include <string>.
Edit: I forgot to mention, so I'm sorry for not doing so earlier, but I'm studying dynamic memory allocation which is why I'm using the new char[1000].

A: I'd suggest you to use std::string instead of manually allocating buffers on the heap with new[] and trying to read text manually from the file into those buffers (and don't forget to free the buffer with proper delete[] calls!).
C++ input stream classes like std::ifstream can simply read text into std::string instances thanks to a proper overload of operator<<.
The syntax is as simple as:
    string word;
    while (inFile >> word)
    {
        cout << word << endl;
    }

Here's a complete compilable sample code for you to experiment and learn:
#include <fstream>
#include <iostream>
#include <string>
using namespace std;

int main()
{
    ifstream inFile("test.txt");
    if (inFile.is_open())
    {
        string word;
        while (inFile >> word)
        {
            cout << word << endl;
        }
    }
    else
    {
        cout << "Can't open file." << endl;
    }
}

This is the output I got on a test text file having the content specified in your question:

I
don't
know
the
key
to
success,
but
the
key
to
failure
is
trying
to
please
everybody.

NOTE
Of course, once you have your words read into a std::string instance, you can store them in a container like std::vector<std::string>, using its push_back() method.

A: I would do something like this:
#include <iostream>
#include <string>
#include <fstream>

int main() {
  std::string array[6];
  std::ifstream infile("Team.txt");
  std::string line;
  int i = 0;
  while (std::getline(infile, line)) {
    array[i++] = line;
  }
  return 0;
}

based on this answer.
Here, we assume we have to read 6 lines from the file "Team.txt". We use std:::getline() and we put inside a while so that we read all the file.
At every iteration, line holds the current line of the file read. Inside the body we store it in array[i].

Q: AngularJS Duplicate key array in a repeater Hi currently i´m programming a application in AngularJs with api rest, but there is something that i miss.
Customers can create organizations with their branchoffices. To create and show the organizations and branchoffices i use the code below.
when the user create an organization there isn´t any problem, but when the user create the second one, the code update the first entry and generate as second one with the same value. so you hava a duplicate key.
What i´m doing wrong?
below you can see the code and pictures attached
First time introduce data and send api, but second time appear the same text. I introduce the new value and send to api rest, and api answer with a right values, but myorganizations variable has the duplicate key with the new value.
First time

Second time

Results

HTML File

Mis Organizaciones

{{organization.company_name}}

        Create new Branch

      Create new Organization

Controller
    $scope.newOrganization = function () {
        butlerService.createOrganization($scope.organization).then(function(neworganization){
            console.log(neworganization);
            tmp.data[0].company_id = neworganization.data.company_id;
            tmp.data[0].company_name = neworganization.data.company_name;
            tmp.data[0].branches=[];
            console.log(tmp);
            $scope.myorganizations.data.push(tmp.data[0]);
            console.log($scope.myorganizations);
        }), function (error){

        }
    }

Service
createOrganization: function (organization) {
            var deferred = $q.defer();
            $http({
                method: "post",
                url: urlCreateOrganization,
                data: organization
            })
            .success(function(response){
                deferred.resolve(response);
            })
            .error(function(err){
                deferred.reject(err);
            });
            return deferred.promise;
        }

A: Without seeing your variable init it is hard to say for sure, but it seems that here:
        tmp.data[0].company_id = neworganization.data.company_id;
        tmp.data[0].company_name = neworganization.data.company_name;
        tmp.data[0].branches=[];

you are rewriting over the first element in your array. And here:
$scope.myorganizations.data.push(tmp.data[0]);

You are pushing once more the same reference to variable in an array.
Just create new variable before you assign values to it and before you push it in the array.
Something like this:
var tmp = {};
tmp.company_id = neworganization.data.company_id;
tmp.company_name = neworganization.data.company_name;
tmp.branches=[];
console.log(tmp);
$scope.myorganizations.data.push(tmp);

FYI http returns promisse, you don't have to wrap it once more.


Gatwick airport has announced French operator Vinci Airports will acquire a 50.01 per cent stake in the hub for £2.9 billion.
Current Gatwick operator Global Infrastructure Partners (GIP) will maintain a 49.99 per cent stake in the airport and the hub's senior management will remain unchanged.
Vinci Airports, part of French infrastructure group Vinci, currently operates 45 airports globally, including Lisbon, Osaka Itami and Lyon-Saint Exupery. The firm says the acquisition represents "a major strategic move... into a strongly performing airport located in a globally significant aviation market".
In the year to 31 March 2018, Gatwick reported revenues of £764.2 million. It saw 45.6 million passengers travel through its halls in 2017 and has recently revealed its master plan to increase capacity, including a scheme to use its emergency airstrip as a second runway.
Gatwick was closed off and on in the run-up to Christmas when drone sightings in the airport's airspace forced it to shut down its runway for safety reasons. Police questioned a couple suspected of operating the drones, but they were later released without charges.
Commenting on the disruption, Wingate added: "I know this unprecedented criminal activity caused huge inconvenience to thousands of people – many of whom missed important family events in the run-up to Christmas. We have appreciated the understanding and tolerance shown at what was a really challenging time for everyone, and we are grateful that passengers recognised that we should never do anything that might jeopardise their safety.
"There are obviously wider strategic lessons for everyone involved to prevent it happening again, and Gatwick itself has taken a number of important steps in recent days which will make a significant difference to the airport's resilience.
The move has been criticised by the Communities Against Gatwick Noise and Emissions (CAGNE) group, which has long condemned the airport's expansion plans. In a statement, the group said the acquisition shows Gatwick is seeking to grow its operations "at any price to those on the ground that suffer the ramifications of airport expansion".
It also claimed that the airport released its master plan in an effort to "increase share price" and has ignored the impact that its growth might have on the environment or surrounding residents.
A consultation on Gatwick's plans runs until 1700 on 10 January 2019.


Abbey Rowe Auto Glass has expert technicians with the skill to replace any Mack Truck windshield or glass.
Our same day service and convenient appointment times guarantee that you will get to your destination on time. As a commercial transport driver you know how important it is to keep your Mack Truck in top condition.
Abbey Rowe Auto Glass offers free mobile service directly to you.
It takes an expert technician to replace windshields on Mack Trucks. There are factors involved that make the replacement different than a regular passenger vehicle.
The windshields are much larger in size. Some windshield can reach 6 ft across, requiring more than one technician to install. To keep the strength because of the size the windshields are thicker than normal cars. To help with this, many model have a "split" windshield.
Technically two separate windshields, a drivers side windshield and a passenger side windshield. This helps in many ways. It keeps the weight and size down, making it possible for one installer to handle. Also, if there is damage to one side it does not effect the other.
Mack Trucks as adopted some features from passenger vehicles into their windshields.

"The nicest cemetery in Canada"
In 1890, baby Adelia Woodworth became one of the first Banffites to be buried in what is known today as the Old Banff Cemetery. Located at the south end of Grizzly Street, a 1914 Crag and Canyon article poetically described the cemetery as situated "only a short distance from the Bow Falls, with the craggy peaks of Mount Rundel [sic] casting fantastic lights and shadows over green swards and marble shafts, while the gentle soughing of the breeze through the pines chants a never-ending requiem.
This image is well represented in the memorials and tombstones, which reflect both the personalities of the people they commemorate and the landscape of Banff itself. J. E. Malloy, a stonemason, was responsible for shaping many of these early monuments, including the Brett Mausoleum and the Rawlins Monument. The Brett Mausoleum, which was constructed in 1914 and stands 12 feet high, features a locally sourced grey Rundlestone roof and polished marble interior. The Rawlins Monument, also constructed in 1914, features carvings of mountain scenery. Other tombstones depict golfers, horses, and cross-country ski tracks.
The Old Banff Cemetery also provided space for the nearby Bankhead mining community. Mourners would travel nearly nine kilometres on foot, often preceded by the Bankhead Mine Band, to bury their dead. The Bankhead Miners Memorial, which honours the fifteen miners killed over the town's 22-year mining history, is a reminder of both the miners and the former town's interactions with our community.
Throughout the years, the cemetery has grown and now provides a resting place for over two thousand local souls. Mary Schaffer Warren, one of Banff's pioneering female mountaineers, once lived opposite the cemetery. Although initially skeptical, she came to appreciate the location, describing the cemetery as a "place of rest and kindly neighbours". A Crag and Canyon article suggested that "no more fitting place could be chosen by an admirer of nature and her handiwork for that long, last sleep that knows no waking", while Jon Whyte, a Banff historian and poet, pronounced it "the nicest cemetery in Canada" .
The engraved tombstones hold the names of many of Banff's historic figures and community builders, but mingled among them are also those whose tales remain unknown. To celebrate this history, and recognize the varied accomplishments of the individuals buried here, walking tours are occasionally held and the Whyte Museum has produced an accompanying booklet. A description from this booklet notes that "when you share a cemetery you are part of a community and differences fade away". A fitting statement for a place that so strongly reflects Banff's people, landscape, and heritage.
In partnership with the Archives at the Whyte Museum of the Canadian Rockies, The Banff Heritage Corporation is proud to profile this significant heritage landscape as part of its Landmarks and Legends Series.
In recognition of the knowledge of Banff's history within the community, we welcome public input that may provide further insight into this or other profiles in the Landmarks and Legends series.
