Struggles against in situ leach uranium mining, Black Hills, South Dakota, USA
Protests against the proposed uranium mining, during the last EPA UIC Permit hearing held in Rapid City (South Dakota) - Source: cleanwateralliance.org
Against uranium mining in Black Hills, SD
Uranium mining is possibly coming to the region. Opponents argue uranium wells could leak and would contaminate the underground water, as in other locations. EPA's decision pending.
The Black Hills are an area of the northern Great Plains, characterized by pine-covered hills, rocks, and fresh water that flows into underground aquifers to recharge groundwater across the region [2]. The Black Hills are subject to treaties between the State and the Oglala Sioux Tribe which reserved the right of the Hills's land [2]. The Oglala maintain a strong legal, traditional, and spiritual link to the Black Hills [2].
In the case of this environmental injustice, however, this promise has not been kept. Through history, the area experienced uranium mining and milling in the 1950s to early 1970s. This left 169 abandoned mines and a trail of contaminated land and water [2].
Similarly today, a company called Powertech (pending a name change to Azarga Uranium Corp. !) is looking at getting state and federal approval to build uranium mine and to use in situ leach method for uranium extraction near in the Black Hills. Officials from the county are currently exploring the feasibility and environmental impact that such an operation could have on the surrounding area [2].
If permitted, the operation would become the first radioactive "in situ leach" mining in South Dakota. It will be located on 10,000 acres of Custer and Fall River counties adjacent to the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation and upstream at the headwaters of the Cheyenne River [1].
In order for "in situ leach" mining to work, the uranium must be located directly in an underground water resource. The method involves pumping a solution underground through wells. The solution is forced through a uranium deposit and leaches the uranium out of the rock. The solution is then pumped back to the surface, and the uranium is removed for further processing [2] [6].
The Powertech/Azarga Uranium Corp. company , which has never mined uranium before, proposes to drill 4,000 wells into an aquifer that is used for domestic water and livestock. The project would use 9,000 gallons of water per minute, 1/3 larger than the amount of groundwater used by nearby Rapid City, the second- largest town in the state. It also plans to pump its wastewater into another aquifer through four deep disposal wells [2]. All told, the project would impact water from 3 of the 4 major drinking water aquifers in the Black Hills, a semi-arid area that relies on groundwater; including high radiactivity risks [2].
The Oglala Sioux Tribe has taken leadership in fighting the proposal, and all nine tribal governments within South Dakota have passed resolutions against it. Local non- profit groups have also join the opposition. Resistance to the project also includes the City Council of Rapid City and the South Dakota State Medical Association, which passed a resolution against the proposed mine [2]. Lately, Northern Cheyene Nation also joined the struggle [1].
Powertech/ Azarga needs to get at least ten federal, state, and county permits for its mining operation to begin. It currently has one -from the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) – but that license was under litigation. On January 31 2019 however, the NRC ruled in favour of the Powertech/ Azarga' license for southern Black Hills uranium mining, which was challenged for eight years by the Oglala Sioux Tribe [2].
If the license-holder Powertech/ Azarga wins the necessary number of licences in the end, it can be used to undertake the in situ mining of uranium [2].
The tribal government and local groups urged members of the public to attend proceedings and participate in an outdoor cultural event to raise awareness about the uranium mining issue. The tribe members who hold important oral histories pertain to the discussion of cultural resources going on between the tribe and the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC). "None of these families was consulted in connection with the NRC staff's efforts before," the tribe argues [4]. "NRC staff is attempting to escape its obligation to consider cultural resources at the site, saying it is so expensive and they shouldn't have to do a cultural survey" [4]. So, "The tribe is fighting back." [4]
The mining activity would entail chemically leaching the radioactive toxic heavy metal from the rock in the underground water-table and processing it above-ground. Extracted uranium then would be transported out of state to refinement facilities, making it available for use its ultimate destination, the production of nuclear power . The polluted water would be pumped back underground or sprayed on the surface [5].
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) extended the deadline for the current round of written comments until December 9th 2019 [1]. The EPA says it still seeks public comment on historic and traditional cultural properties, as well as on its revised draft environmental impact analysis (please see Source and Materials documents for more details) [1].

My name is Isabel Dréan, I'm a filmmaker. Years ago, I came to Laos for 2 days and ended up staying for 10 years by opening the first licensed bookstore following the communist era. L'Étranger, Books and Tea has been listed in Lonely Planet's guide and the blue list one year (I think it was 2004).
Now time has come to close this chapter of my life. But instead of selling the traditional way, I launched an international competition to find the right person to take over this dream life I've created in Laos. I'm playing matchmaker for my bookshop.
I believe with the current political climate in the world that many people would be inspired by my story and who knows, maybe the person I'm looking for is amongst them.
Hopeful applicants can submit their audition-video and tell me why they are the one. A lucky winner will get my two businesses: bookstore & café and gallery, free rent for the first year, a motorcycle, a foreign investor resident visa and $10,000 in cash. Everything to start a new life in the heart of South-East Asia. The competition will run until August 31st. Submission fee is $100. It is a really great story about someone building a dream life and giving the chance to someone else to benefit from it.
I would love to share my story with as many people as possible to find the right person for this adventure. I hope you find my story inspiring.
Ultra-modern. Diverse. These are just a few words travelers have used to describe the city of Toronto. Located on the northwestern shore of Lake Ontario, the area of Toronto was actually the byproduct of post-glacial deposits. Europeans first arrived here in the 1700s and soon set up a major trading post. The city boomed during the days of the Industrial Revolution, and in the 1960s Toronto opened itself to the world with extremely liberal immigration policies. Indeed, over half of the residents in this huge megalopolis are foreign-born. Travelers are impressed with the wide variety of cultures on display in this major North American city. Below, you'll find five reasons why you should put Toronto on your vacation list for 2017.
As with any great city, Toronto is full of world-class museums. History buffs can take a trip back to 19th century Ontario at the Black Creek Pioneer Village. Numerous actors go through a typical farming day in this re-created village from the 1860s. If farming isn't your thing, you can check out the finest in opulent living at Casa Loma. Casa Loma was the former estate of financier Sir Henry Pellat, and it's complete with European grandeur and intrigue. In addition to fine decorations and towers, this estate has secret passageways and a wondrous 5-acre garden. Art lovers must check out the Art Gallery of Ontario (which features Ruben's stunning Massacre of the Innocents) and the Gardiner Museum of Ceramic Art. Finally, for those looking for an odd museum experience, check out Napoleon Bonaparte's sock collection (yes, you read that right!) at the Bata Shoe Museum.
Toronto has one of the most iconic landmarks in all of Canada: the CN Tower. After this 553-meter tower was completed in 1976, it was officially the tallest tower in the world. Although CN Tower lost that distinction when Dubai completed its Burj Khalifa in 2007, visitors to Toronto just love taking a trip to the top of this stunning free-standing structure. Visitors to CN Tower get to take a wonderful glass elevator ride to the glass observation area. There's also a restaurant called 360 on the main deck of this tower.
In addition to CN Tower, sports fans like to take in a game at Rogers Centre, home of the Toronto Blue Jays. And, for those into historical Canadian structures, a visit to Toronto City Hall is well worth your time.
Traveling with children? No worries. Toronto has plenty of amazing attractions to keep kids amused for hours on end. First off, visit Legoland, which is just 30-minutes north of Toronto's city center. In addition to housing "Miniland," a miniature lego replica of Toronto made up of half a million lego bricks, Legoland Toronto hosts Lego 4D Cinema, the Kingdom Quest ride, and the Merlin's Apprentice ride. Close to Legoland is the 330-acre Canada's Wonderland theme park, which is complete with thrilling roller coasters and a water park. For those only staying within Toronto's city center, a few popular attractions for children include the Toronto Zoo and the Ontario Science Center.
Toronto hosts two of cinema's most famous film festivals each and every year. First off, the Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF) starts up on the Thursday following Labor Day and usually lasts for about ten days. This festival, which has been held annually since 1976, shows around 300 films to well over 480,000 film lovers. Some people just visit this festival to try and get a glimpse of some of the biggest names in Hollywood. Many of the films premiered in Toronto actually go on to earn Oscar nominations, so definitely check this film festival out if you're into award-winning movies.
The second most popular film festival held in Toronto is the Toronto Black Film Festival (TBFF). Held every February, the TBFF hosts some of the major films made for and by black people. Most of the films showcased here are concerned with cultural and social issues surrounding the black community.
If you're a foodie, you'll find no shortage of dining options in Toronto. Conde Nast Traveler officially named Toronto as one of the best food cities in the world, and it's clear to see why once you get here. Since Toronto is such a melting pot, there are literally thousands of restaurants from all around the world to take in. Skip the tourist traps and dine with the Toronto locals. A few of the more popular luxury restaurants include ALO Restaurant, Scaramouche Restaurant, and George Restaurant, all of which are French/Canadian. People looking for Asian cuisine can head on over to Chinatown, and people who just want to relax at a local cafe can check out either the Distillery District or the University District. No matter what cuisine you're into, you'll definitely find something to satisfy your palate in this cosmopolitan city.
For hiking enthusiasts, finding that "one place" can be a daunting task with so many beautiful destinations. Here's a list of 10 hikes located across the globe where any one of them could be your "one place".
This 11-mile (one way) trail is located along the amazing Na Pali Coast. The rugged trail is quite popular and you need a camping permit to stay. But the hike and final destination are well worth the steep trail and heat. Kalalau beach is a mile-long beauty with the Kalalau Valley offering amazing waterfalls and scenery.
The 70-mile round trip Everest Base Camp venture is becoming one of the world's most popular treks. Hikers, though, should take their time acclimating themselves to the intense high-altitude climb while viewing three of the highest peaks in the world.
By far one of the most popular hikes in the world. The 26-mile trip allows one to roll through jungles and beautiful mountain scenery while ending at the world-famous Machu Picchu.
Traversing three countries, this trail offers beautiful vistas, snow-covered mountains, ancient cobblestone, wild geraniums and even grazing cattle along its 105-mile journey.
This amazing "river" trail is located in Zion National Park and is its most popular. The trail itself pretty much is the Virgin River, meaning you will be wet for most of the 16 miles, with wading and swimming a must during this gorgeous hike.
This picturesque and very popular cliffside trail located in Italy actually connects five villages, offering breathtaking views as well as a trail for every level of hiker. This is not a long hike, perhaps five hours total, but with so much to see, one can make this adventure as long as they wish.
This 2,180-mile trail ventures through 14 states and is the longest in the world. The views offered can be quite stunning and even with its distance, this trail is extremely popular, as it is one of the most beautiful places to visit in America.
The trail offers gorgeous lakes, massive glaciers and volcanic peaks along its 37-miles. One of its highlights is Heilo Sur, which is the second largest non-polar icefield on earth.
This 50-mile round trip trek offers so much in spite of its desert surrounding. Jordan's mountain peaks and gorges are a hikers dream but the true marvel is the ancient setting and amazing history the journey to Petra offers.
The Santa Cruz trek is considered by many hikers as one of the best hiking routes in the world. It offers snow-covered mountain peaks and lush open valleys as you also journey along rivers and brightly colored lagoons.
I never thought summer would arrive. And quite frankly I'm not sure it has in my small world but that doesn't stop me from wanting to travel. At night when the cool air approaches and the stars come out I think of all the beaches I'd like to be sunbathing on. However, I can't say that's what I think about during the day. One place that has drawn my attention is Phuket, Thailand. I have always been fascinated with the Asian lands and Thailand is no exception. Phuket is one of Thailand's largest islands and one of the most beautiful.
Just like most islands you can do all those fantastic activities like snorkeling in the blue lagoons, or if you want to get certified - scuba diving: getting up close and personal to a leopard shark, lion fish or an octopus. Don't want to get wet? Charter a boat and go sailing on the waters. Check out the bays with rock formations jetting out of the water covered in greenery. Spend the day on a yacht with a hot tub drinking wine while watching the sunset over the water. The next day, rent out bikes and travel around the island. When you're done, switch out your bicycle for an elephant and go on a safari.
Some of my personal favorites to do on this magnificent island is sky diving and if you're daring, rent a motorbike and do some serious riding. Still not daring enough? Well. Put on some gear and get ready to climb some very high trees. After you get to the top, look over your shoulder. It's time to climb across to the next tree using only ropes. Maybe that yacht with champagne is looking better? You're on vacation. Get wild! While you're climbing the sky using only cables you are harnessed in. The only thing to fear is….Well, you know the saying. After you try all the extreme adventures you and your stomach can handle, make your way to a spa and relax with a massage. At night visit a cabaret or a dinner theater. As the night unwinds, make your way back to your resort when you can sleep in and do it all over again in the morning.
As I look out my window and still see inches of snow melting off the trees, it has me reminiscing on the days I lived in California and the palm trees that are standing tall, soaking in the sun while I'm bundled up in my wool socks and pajamas. In a few weeks people will be dancing under those palm trees for two weekends in a row for one of the biggest concert festivals of the year.
Coachella attracts every type of person. From the performers who will be there to the ones who will be in the crowds listening to the talented musicians that will be playing. This is not your typical concert you go to for a few hours and then go home to look at the selfies you took of yourself with your favorite artist in the background. This is a two weekend event that happens once a year in Coachella, California. Hotels in the area prepare for the thousands of people that will arrive. There are campgrounds where you can stay off and on the grounds, depending how close you want to be. You can carpool with others if you're not on site and if you are, you may just win lifetime tickets to Coachella and VIP passes for the events.
Music from all genres will the there. Musicians like AC/DC to Drake will be playing to bands like Bad Religion and a personal favorite, Florence + the Machine. Whether you like country, rap or rock and roll, you will find it here. For those music enthusiasts, there will be a vinyl store where you can browse for your favorite music. A boutique with clothes, art and collectables will be on the premises. Not only will the music be outstanding, the food will be just as amazing. There will be your usual concert food. However, there will also be an assortment of deliciousness to choose from homemade ice cream, craft beer paired with selected dishes, tacos and for those with special diets vegan, gluten free menus to choose from. Some of the best up and coming chefs will be on hand to display their talents. If you're lucky enough to have VIP passes to the Rose Garden, you will dine in the beautiful Coachella Rose Garden and taste some of the finest food you will ever have the pleasure of tasting.
While jamming to your some of your favorite music and chowing down on a specialty dish from the restaurant Eggslut (where everything is made with egg), walk around to discover the art that will be displayed. Last year a chain of hot air balloons were in the air, a large caterpillar was created for sitting under to enjoy some shade, and robots and a giant astronaut were on site to engage the audience.
This isn't exactly a tropical paradise where you sit lazily by the ocean and drink Pina Coladas or travel to some far away mountain, hiking until you reach the top. This is for the diehard music lovers who want a once in a lifetime experience, where those who are performing are some of the best up and coming musicians or have already proven themselves. This is where those with talent come to shine whether it is with their guitar, their prose with musical lyrics or creating that fabulous dish you'll have to Instagram. And when you find you just need to take a break from your senses, a Ferris wheel that reaches into the clouds will be on hand to take you away for a few moments to catch your breath and get ready for the next day full of laughter, songs and dancing.
At the moment, it feels like I live at the North Pole. Over the past few weeks, the state of Massachusetts has watched almost four feet of snow drift down from the clouds above. As I looked out my foggy window watching the snowflakes pile up I thought about where I'd rather be. Quite honestly, I came up with a long list but I only booked one vacation, to Costa Rica. Of course it's only the beginning of February, anything can happen. My passport is up to date and I'm ready for anything but another snowstorm.
There are so many places to stay in Costa Rica. My desired choice this time around will be in the Guanacaste area. Besides finding a beach after I check into my all inclusive resort where room and food are included, I want to experience a few excursions. And there are many to choose from. First and foremost I will be zip lining through the rainforest. There are a number of ways to do this. The one I've chosen will be to go over the waterfalls. I will fly by at least eleven. To say I'm afraid of heights is an understatement but to experience life, one must put away the phobias. If only for a day (as long as I don't see spiders).
After my personal flight I will take an excursion to one of the volcanos in the area. Again, there are a few options. I plan to visit one where afterwards I can sit in the hot springs and forget about life for a few hours. Afterwards there is usually a lunch or dinner served. I may even go on a horseback ride on my way to the volcano.
If I have time I want to visit the butterfly garden where I'll see many different types of butterflies and possibly other wildlife. If I don't have time for butterflies, I will be visiting the rainforest tour where all types of critters can be seen including three different species of monkeys and over two hundred kinds of birds. There is also the Tortuguero National park which you'll travel by boat as you take in the scenery. Or instead hop on a raft with a tour guide and make your way to the Jaguar Rescue Center. Here you will see how jaguars live in their own habitat and how to save these beautiful creatures.
If you have a sweet tooth you can take an excursion and taste locally made chocolate or if you like a little bitter with your chocolate, visit one of the many places that produces coffee.
Before you leave, don't forget to visit the marketplace and do a little shopping. After all the excursions, head back to your hotel, get out a beach towel, grab a fruity drink with an umbrella and relax by the ocean.
The summer for me means time to catch up on personal goals I pushed into the corner of my life throughout the winter and spring season. There are many things I catch up during the summer months but the most important goal is writing. I have been writing since I was ten years old and find I feel the need to reach for a pen and a piece of paper at least once a week but with the holidays and demands I don't always find the time until the summer. I make a point of searching for a retreat to steal myself away from every day life and write for a solid week or at least attempt to. This year I have opted for a place in a Danish castle far from my home.
Off the cliffs of Denmark sits a castle called Liselund and a writing retreat aptly named Hamlet's Retreat. Here two women have created a place where writers of all experiences can come and submerse themselves into their writing. The retreat is a week long writing event where one can be involved in all the wonderful workshops. The workshops consist of how to do research and write a scene to how to write fiction and nonfiction. There is even a workshop discussing how to pitch your work for publication. The Workshops last for six nights and seven days. It is all-inclusive stay with a restaurant on the premises along with a cafe. Anja Klemp Vilgaard and Shawna Kenney, the teachers of this wonderful retreat only accept seventeen people for the workshop as to give undivided attention to each writer.
Even though there are quite a few workshops you can immerse yourself in, they are purely optional. You have the opportunity to discover the castle ruins, or enjoy yoga in the morning and venture off by yourself to work on your writing. The rooms are beautifully furnished as well as tables set up inside and out to dine on while you find the next line for your book. If you're looking for a place to run away and find your writing muse again, this is the place.
During the colder months I crave a mocha cappuccino but once summer is upon me and the sun is warming the beaches I go to my favorite wine shop, choose a few tasty reds and whites, come home and make a pitcher of sangrias for me and my friends. This year will be no different except I have recently finished a two year course in Italian and all I want to do is try out my new found speaking skills in Italy; at a vineyard of course. There are so many wonderful places to visit in Italy, I'm quite certain any of them will be outstanding but the one I've chosen is Vignamaggio; a beautiful villa outside of Greve in Chianti. If you're a Shakespeare fan, you may have heard of it before. The movie Much Ado About Nothing was filmed here in the early '90s. It is also rumored the famous Mona Lisa is from the villa, her name actually being Lisa Gherardini.
The villa is spread out over 140 acres of land with 50 of them used for growing grapes turning them into different types of Chianti. Depending on when you go, you're able to take a tour of their vineyards and at the end taste different selections of wine. While on the tour, you'll see rows of grapes, and olive trees (they also make their own olive oil), barrels of wines and the estate itself. There are three types of tours depending on your preference. You can tour the vineyard, cellar and gardens without tasting or you can choose to do a tasting with lunch or if you really want to be extravagant (I know I do) have dinner with your tour that will include different wines and olive oils from their fields.
The villa has beautiful cottages you're able to stay in with all the amenities you may want. Each of them decorated with antique furniture. You can even bring your fur babies with you! This is a pet friendly villa as well as kid friendly. Enjoy an authentic meal at their restaurant dining on locally made olive oil, fresh vegetables, pasta and of course one of their many wines. You have a choice of sitting inside or dining outside on their patio surrounding by the hillside. The villa even has a spa. This is not your typical spa. If you want something a little different you can take a bath in wine. Yes, in wine. Now that is a splendid way to end a two year Italian course; being surrounding by cypress trees, drinking wine and dipping freshly made Italian bread into olive oil. Molto bene!!!
The beginning of May brings flowers, rain and the best part, margaritas. May 5th is Cinco de Mayo day and that means it's time to celebrate. The holiday has many meanings depending where you're from but in America we celebrate to honor Mexico's heritage. All over the United States you can find a restaurant or a city celebrating the entire day; however if you're looking for the largest, most expansive celebration that would be in Los Angeles, California.
Cinco de Mayo is celebrated for an entire weekend in Los Angeles and expands over to the surrounding areas. On Olvera St. there will be live music including folk dancers, and mariachis. Piñatas will be about and activities will be set up for the younger crowd. Olvera St. is home to a Mexican marketplace as well as the oldest structure in Los Angeles, the Avile Adobe ranch house. The museum of Latin America will have a beer tasting event in honor of the holiday that will include live music. In Santa Ana there is a carnival with rides, games, all kinds of food and music. The LA plaza museum will have free tickets for the holiday. On Sunday in West Hollywood there will be a huge block party for the afternoon and all the proceeds will go to the Project Angel Food.
At the end of April the largest festival will be held. It consists of a 24 block party with over half a million people. Just like the weekend of Cinco de Mayo, there will be numerous activities, more food than you can imagine and music being played all across the festival.
If you want to go to your local restaurant and have a few margaritas to celebrate the day or if you want to go to the biggest block party with some of the most fabulous Mexican food you will ever taste, the options is yours.

Two months after Hurricane Matthew tore through Hilton Head Island, the debris cleanup effort is far from over. Private contractor Crowder-Gulf say enough debris has been picked up - more than one million cubic yards - to fill Madison Square Garden three times. It's all being brought to one of two multi-acre pieces of land on the island to be ground down and hauled off of the island. "It has to be processed very quickly, and move out quickly," Barrett Holmes of Crowder-Gulf says. He says the debris all goes to different places - to be used as lumber, or to make things like paper and cardboard products. The contractor was hired by the town years ago in preparation for a large storm like Matthew, and crews have been working nonstop since the day after the storm came through. Though the plan has been in place for years, this is the first time it has been used. "We got everything in place just for an event like this," Holmes says. Town Manager Steve Riley says an advantage of that plan has been having that contractor in place. Still, the plan is showing some weak spots. The town did not account for the fact that the contractor would be sharing land with the Coastal Discovery Museum for months on end - land that is now covered in tree stumps and wood chips. "You know, the state is going to lose a lot of revenue," Riley says. "It's just not the same property right now, and the mess, it just takes away from the experience out there." Riley says the cleanup will likely continue through spring. 75 percent of the debris cleanup project is expected to be reimbursed by FEMA, but the town is being cautious. "They'll pay you, but then they've got 10 years to come back and audit and challenge some of what they've already paid," Riley says. "So this will go on for more time than most people realize." The town is hoping the state will help with some of the remaining 25 percent. For now, crews continue to work, making sure all those tons of debris are accounted for, to later report to FEMA. "To make sure that we have the correct quantities and all that is taken care of in a proper manner," Holmes says. Crews say even after already hauling in more than one million cubic yards of debris off the island, they are only about half way done. Crowder-Gulf plans on staying until debris collection can return back to what it was before the storm.

Paul Antony Young (Luton, 1956. január 17. –) angol énekes, dalszerző és zenész. Korábban a rövid életű Kat Kool & the Kool Cats, a Streetband és a Q-Tips együttesek frontembere volt, majd az 1980-as években szóló sikerével tinibálvány lett. Sikeres kislemezei közé tartozik a "Love of the Common People", a "Wherever I Lay My Hat", a "Come Back and Stay", az "Every Time You Go Away" és az "Everything Must Change", amelyek mind a brit kislemezlisták top 10-es listájára kerültek. 1983-ban megjelent debütáló albuma, a No Parlez, az első a három brit listavezető album közül, és ismertté tette őt. 1983-ban megjelent, sima, mégis soulos hangja a "blue-eyed soul" néven ismert műfajhoz tartozott. Az 1985-ös Brit Awards-on Young megkapta a legjobb brit férfinak járó díjat. 1985-ben az Egyesült Államok második brit inváziójához társult, az "Every Time You Go Away" című dala 1985-ben első helyezést ért el a Billboard Hot 100-as listáján. Az 1986-os Brit Awards-on a legjobb brit videoklipnek járó díjat is elnyerte.

1985 júliusában Young fellépett a londoni Wembley Stadionban tartott Live Aid-en, ahol előadta a Band Aid "Do They Know It's Christmas?" című slágerét. (miután az eredeti kislemezen elénekelte a nyitó sorokat), valamint saját slágereit, a "Come Back and Stay"-t és az "Every Time You Go Away"-t. Alison Moyet csatlakozott hozzá a színpadon, hogy előadja a "That's The Way Love Is"-t. Az 1990-es évek közepe óta Young a Los Pacaminos nevű együttesével lépett fel

Életútja
Paul Young az angliai Lutonban, Bedfordshire-ben született. Bátyja, Mark, húga, Joanne. Fiatalkorában az iskola után a Vauxhall Motors gyárban focizott, szabadidejében pedig basszusgitárosként több együttesben is játszott.

Az első együttes, amelynek énekese lett, a Kat Kool & The Kool Kats volt. Az 1970-es évek végén csatlakozott a Streetbandhez, akiknek egy Top 20-as slágerük volt az Egyesült Királyságban, a humoros, újszerű "Toast" című számmal. 1979 decemberében a Streetband feloszlott.

Az ex-Streetbandes új tagokkal, Dave Lathwell gitárossal és Baz Watts dobossal kiegészülve Q-Tips lett a formáció neve. Emellett egy négytagú fúvósszekciót hoztak létre Steve Farr (baritonszaxofon), Richard Blanchard (tenorszaxofon), Stuart Van Blandamer (altszaxofon) és Tony Hughes (trombita) által, akik mindannyian Észak-London és Hertfordshire környékéről származnak, míg Ian Kewley orgonista Essexben élt. A Q-Tips neve egy jól ismert vattapamacs márkáról származik.

A Q-Tips első próbáira 1979 novemberében került sor. Első koncertjük 1979. november 18-án volt a harrow-i Queens Arms Hotelben. Ezt egy másik követte a St Albans-i Horn of Plenty-ben - ami 1978-ban a Streetband rendszeres fellépése volt -, és összesen 16-ot adtak az első hónapban. Az első hat hónap alatt történt néhány személyi változás, Blanchard és Lathwell távozott a zenekarból.

1980. április 1-jére a zenekar két számot vett fel, a "SYSLJFM (The Letter Song)", és a "Having a Party" címűt, mindkettőt a Barnet-i Livingstone Studiosban rögzítették. A folyamatos turnézás és koncertmegjelenések erős rajongói bázist építettek ki 1981 közepére, amikor a kevés soul zenei feldolgozást felülmúlták a zenekar saját számai. 1981-ben a zenekar profizmusa több lemezkiadó figyelmét is felkeltette, a néhai Mickie Most (RAK Records) a BBC Radio 1 Round Table műsorában megerősítette, hogy a Q-Tips "...könnyen a legjobb élő zenekar, ami jelenleg működik". 1980 augusztusában a brit NME zenei magazin arról számolt be, hogy a Q-Tips kiadta debütáló, azonos című albumát.

Idővel Garth Watt Roy váltotta John Giffordot gitáron, Blandamer helyére pedig Nick Payne került. Ez a felállás maradt a zenekar karrierjének hátralévő részében. 1981 második felében felléptek a BBC Televízió In Concert, Rock Goes to College és The Old Grey Whistle Test című műsoraiban. További televíziós szerepléseik között szerepeltek a szombat reggeli gyermekműsorokban is. A Q-Tips a J. Geils Band, a The Knack, a Thin Lizzy, Bob Marley és az Average White Band előzenekara volt.

A zenekar turnézott az After the Fire-rel, és 1980-ban a The Who 12 állomásos brit turnéján a The Who-t támogatta. 1981-ben a Q-Tips fellépett a Montreux-i Jazzfesztiválon. Két album és hét kislemez kiadása után a gyenge lemezeladások miatt a Q-Tips 1982 elején feloszlott, amikor Paul Young szóló lemezszerződést kötött a CBS-szel. 1982 végén és 1983 elején a Q-Tips fúvósai és dobosa Adam Ant Friend or Foe turnéjának brit és amerikai szakaszán turnézott, és néhányan maradtak Ant 1984-es Strip turnéjára is.

Young rövid időre újra összeállt a Q-Tips-szel egy 1993-as újraegyesülési turnéra.

A Q-Tips 1982-ben feloszlott, Young pedig szólóelőadóként szerződött a Columbia Recordshoz.

Young új kísérőzenekara, a The Royal Family a billentyűs Kewley, a fretless basszusgitáros Pino Palladino, a gitáros Steve Bolton, a dobos Mark Pinder, valamint a háttérénekesek Maz Roberts és Kim Leslie AKA The Fabulous Wealthy Tarts. Első két kislemeze, az "Iron Out the Rough Spots" és a "Love of the Common People" feldolgozása nem aratott sikert, de a harmadik, a Marvin Gaye "Wherever I Lay My Hat" című dalának feldolgozása 1983 nyarán három hétig az első helyen szerepelt a brit kislemezlistán, az első a 14 brit Top 40-es kislemez közül. 1983 nyarán a dal szerepelt a Peter's Friends című 1992-es brit vígjáték filmzenéjén.

Hasonló sikerek követték Európa-szerte. Az Egyesült Királyságban a "Come Back and Stay" című követő kislemez a 4. helyig jutott, a "Love of the Common People" újrakiadása pedig a 2. helyig jutott, és még az Egyesült Államokban is kapott rádiós sugárzást (köszönhetően annak, hogy John Hughes Sixteen Candles című filmjének soundtrackjén szerepelt), No Parlez című debütáló albuma pedig több országban platina minősítést kapott

Az 1984-es év nehéz volt Young számára, mivel az első nagyszabású promóciós és élő koncertkörútja Amerikában súlyosan megterhelte a hangszálait, olyannyira, hogy kénytelen volt pihentetni a hangját, és az év nagy részében nem énekelt. Eléggé felépült ahhoz, hogy részt vegyen a "Do They Know It's Christmas?" című Band Aid kislemezen, amely egy Bob Geldof és Midge Ure által összeállított, az etiópiai éhínség enyhítését célzó jótékonysági projekt volt. Young énekelte a dal nyitó sorait David Bowie helyett.

Visszatért a brit top tízbe Ann Peebles "I'm Gonna Tear Your Playhouse Down" című dalának feldolgozásával. 1985-ben megjelent második albumán, a The Secret of Association címűn, amely biztosította későbbi sikerét az Egyesült Államokban, Japánban és Ausztráliában. Az album az Egyesült Királyságban az első helyig jutott. Azonban továbbra is időnként hang- és torokproblémái voltak. Ebben az évben Young karrierje legnagyobb világsikerét érte el az "Every Time You Go Away" című dallal, amely az 1980-as Hall & Oates album Voices című dalának feldolgozása volt. Az "Every Time You Go Away" az Egyesült Államokban a poplisták élére került, és ez volt a legnagyobb sikere az USA-ban. A dalt a Live Aid koncert londoni szakaszában adta elő.

1990-ben kiadta a The Chi-Lites "Oh Girl" című dalának feldolgozását, amely a Billboard Hot 100-as listáján a 8. helyig jutott.

Továbbra is sikeres karriert futott be, amelynek néhány csúcspontja volt, például a Crowded House "Don't Dream It's Over" című számának eléneklése a Nelson Mandela 70. születésnapi tiszteletadáson 1988-ban, egy népszerű duett, a "Senza una donna (Without a Woman)", 1991-ben az olasz blues énekessel, Zuccheróval, és a "Radio Ga Ga Ga" eléneklése a Queen megmaradt tagjaival 1992-ben, a The Freddie Mercury Tribute Concert-en, nem sokkal Freddie Mercury halála után. 1991-ben felvett egy duettet az ír Clannad együttessel Blake Edwards Switch című filmjéhez, amely Joni Mitchell "Both Sides Now" című dalának feldolgozása volt.

A "Don't Dream It's Over", a "Senza una donna (Without a Woman)" és a "Both Sides Now" az 1991-ben megjelent From Time To Time - The Singles Collection című első Greatest Hits albumán szerepelt,[7] melyen Young első négy szólóalbumának slágerlistás kislemezei, a három fent említett dal, valamint egy korábban kiadatlan válogatás, az "I'm Only Foolin' Myself" szerepelt.

1992-ben Young megalakította új együttesét, a Los Pacaminos-t, amely Ry Cooder "Chicken Skin Music" korszakának és a Texas Tornados nevű tex-mex együttesnek a hangzásvilágán alapult, és először kocsmákban és klubokban léptek fel visszafogottan, majd színházakba is eljutottak. 1993-ban Youngot kirúgták a CBS/Sony Records kiadóval kötött szerződéséből, és ezután kevesebb szólóalbumot adott ki. Még abban az évben újraalakította a Q-Tips-et egy rövid koncertsorozat erejéig. 1995-ben közreműködött Vangelis Voices című albumán. Young elénekelte a brit nemzeti himnuszt, a "God Save the Queen"-t a Wembley Stadionban Anglia Németország elleni Euro '96-os elődöntő mérkőzése előtt.

1993. szeptember 18-án Young fellépett a Pink Floyddal a Cowdray Ruins jótékonysági koncerten a King Edward VII Kórház javára. 1993. szeptember 18-án Young David Gilmour, Nick Mason és Richard Wright mellett a Genesisből ismert Mike Rutherford basszusgitárossal énekelte az eredetileg Roger Waters által énekelt vokális részeket. A zenekar előadta a "Run Like Hell", a "Wish You Were Here" és a "Comfortably Numb" című dalokat. A koncerten fellépett még a Queen, a Genesis és Eric Clapton is. A koncert zárásaként minden előadó színpadra lépett a "Gimme Some Lovin'" előadásával.

1996-ban Young ismét szólóban lépett fel és készült következő, Paul Young című albumára, amely a következő évben jelent meg az East West Records gondozásában. 2001 novemberében, amikor Young a Here and Now turné utolsó estéjén volt, Michael Aspel átadta neki a This Is Your Life című könyvet. A műsor még abban az évben december 5-én ment le a BBC One-on. 2006-ban jelent meg a Rock Swings - On the Wild Side of Swing című album. 2006 szeptemberében szerepelt a BBC1 Celebrity MasterChef című főzőműsorában, és megnyerte a műsort, így bejutott az elődöntőbe. 2006-ban egy évvel később egy másik főzőműsorban, az ITV Hell's Kitchen című műsorában volt versenyző.

Bár zenei karrierje kezdett hanyatlani, Young egyre többször jelent meg a médiában. Olyan műsorokban szerepelt vendégként, mint a The Wright Stuff, a This Morning és a The One Show. 2010-ben Young felvett és kiadott egy új számot, a "Come Back"-t, egy duettet, amit a Chicane nevű elektronikus tánczenei együttessel készített. A kislemez Young 1983-as "Come Back and Stay" című slágerének mintája volt, és a 151. helyen szerepelt a brit kislemezlistán. A kislemez a Chicane 2010-es Giants című albumára került fel. 2016-ban Young hosszabb lemezanyag-hiány után egy vintage soul dalokat tartalmazó albumot adott ki Good Thing címmel, melynek producere Arthur Baker volt, és egy hosszabb turné- és fesztiválszerepléses időszakba kezdett. A mai napig turnézik a világ minden táján a zenekarával.

Los Pacaminos
Young először 1993-ban alakította meg a Los Pacaminost. Az együttes megalakulásának oka Young azon vágya volt, hogy visszatérjen az alapokhoz, ahogyan ő magyarázza: "Lemezkiadók között voltam, és anyagot írtam egy új albumhoz, de újra élőben akartam játszani. Mindig is szerettem a Tex-Mex hangzást, és ismertem néhány zenészt, akik hasonló szenvedéllyel rajongtak ezért a fajta zenéért. Így megkértem őket, hogy csatlakozzanak hozzám egy zenekar megalakításában."

A csapat korai fellépései bárokban és klubokban zajlottak, saját anyag és feldolgozások keverékét adták elő. 2002-ben jelent meg a Los Pacaminos című albumuk.

Az album megjelenésekor a zenekar profi felállásban alakult meg, amely a következőkből állt:
 Young gitáros és énekes
 Drew Barfield gitár és ének
 Melvyn Duffy pedal steel gitáron
 Steve Greetham vagy David Levy basszusgitáron és éneken
 Matt Irving billentyűs, harmonikás és énekes.
 Jamie Moses gitár és ének
 Mark Pinder vagy Jim Russel dobol.

A zenekar folytatta a fellépéseket és lemezfelvételeket Európa-szerte és az Egyesült Királyságban. 2014-ben a zenekar kiadta második albumát, az A Fistful of Statins-t..

A zenekar által kiadott egyéb médiumok közé tartozik egy EP és egy élő album. 2015-ben a tag Matt Irving meghalt. A zenekar azonban továbbra is turnézik és lemezeket készít.

Együttműködések

Paul Young legkorábbi együttműködése az 1970-es évek végén a Streetband első, London című albumán történt, amikor Ian Dury vendégszerepelt a "Mystery" című számban. Majd a Q-Tips és a szólószerződése között Paul Elvis Costellóval közösen énekelt háttérvokálokat a Squeeze "Black Coffee in Bed" című kislemezén. Young legismertebb zenei együttműködése (a Los Pacaminoson kívül) a basszusgitáros Pino Palladino-val való korai kollaborációja volt Palladino, aki korábban a Tears for Fears, a Go West és Gary Numan együttesekkel dolgozott együtt, Young négy albumán is közreműködött: No Parlez, The Secret of Association, The Crossing és Paul Young. Young a Both Sides Now című dalának egy verzióját adta ki az ír Clannad együttessel az 1991-es Switch című mozifilmhez.

Palladino volt Young The Royal Family nevű kísérőzenekarának basszusgitárosa, és játszott a Live Aid-en.

Magánélete
Young 1983-ban a Come Back and Stay című dalához készült videoklipben ismerkedett meg feleségével, az egykori modell Stacey Smith-szel. Összeházasodtak, miközben Los Angelesben éltek 1987 novemberében.

I don't know why it's taken me so long to bring my garlic-Dijon sauce to this blog, but hey, better late than never!
This is going to make my weekly dinner rotation: it's nutritious, tasty, filling, and comes together quickly.
Meal prepping with spiralized veggies is a great way to commit to a healthy week and get your veggies in!
Raw Storage: Apples instantly brown in the refrigerator, so seal tightly in a Ziploc or airtight container (try to avoid letting much air in), but only expect a couple days in the refrigerator.

"Raw"/cold dishes: If the dish requires no cooking or is better served chilled, it's a win-win!
Spiralized rice: since rice dishes tend to not be made with vegetables that release excess moisture, they're perfect for prepping completely in advance and reheating. They work well in the freezer, especially!
Click here for all spiralized rice recipes.
Non-zucchini noodle dishes with ragu-type sauces: If you're making a bolognese over sweet potato noodles, this can easily be reheated and enjoyed. However, if you're making a zucchini noodle dish with a bolognese, the water content in the zucchini noodles will thin out the bolognese and take away from its originally delicious flavor.
Non-zucchini noodle dishes with sauces: Similar to the ragu-type sauces tip above, any type of sauce can be used with spiralized vegetables and can be reheated for lunch.
Dishes with no sauce: If your recipe doesn't call for a heavy sauce, that's perfect – it will reheat well. Bonus points for recipes with cheese – the heated cheese will melt nicely into the noodles. This works with zucchini noodles!
Pesto pastas: Pesto sauces work well with all vegetables and reheat well. Actually, the olive oil in the pesto works to our advantage with zucchini noodles. Throw in some kale, spinach or another vegetable that will absorb excess moisture, and you've got a pesto pasta, fit for lunch!
Wraps and sandwiches: any noodle, any ingredient – collard green wraps (or any type of sandwich wraps) work brilliantly! Just wrap tightly in tinfoil or paper and secure with tape when packing for lunch.
Casseroles: If you eat hearty lunches, then you're in luck: non-zucchini noodle casseroles work fabulously when reheated.
Please note, spiralized zucchini should not be frozen. When you go to defrost it, it will wilt and become a mushy mess.
It can be tricky to prepare a zucchini noodle dish in advance, due to the vegetable's high water content (the longer the zucchini sits in a sauce, the more moisture releases and the more watery/mushy the dish will get). This applies for cucumbers as well.
The best way to make a recipe and save leftovers for the next day is by portioning out some of the sauce, placing it in a container and putting it in the fridge to save. Then, if you'd like to make this for lunch or dinner the next day, just heat up the reserved sauce, cook the zucchini noodles, and pour the sauce over the zucchini noodles.
For example, you could make a big batch of my Gluten-Free Turkey Meatballs with Zucchini Noodles, while reserving a serving of the tomato sauce and meatballs, and then reheat the sauce & meatballs. While the sauce and meatballs heat up, cook the zucchini noodles in a skillet and then pour the sauce and meatballs over the zucchini, once ready.
I have many recipes for yummy meals that don't require cooking of zucchini noodles. These can be saved in the refrigerator for later and don't require reheating and therefore, the noodles won't release too much water. For example, my Avocado and Tomato Zucchini Noodle Salad with Basil Vinaigrette.
If you just made a delicious zucchini noodle soup, like the Minestrone from Inspiralize Everything or this Bacon and White Bean Zoodle Soup, here's a tip: pack extra seasonings. As the zucchini sits in the soup, its moisture will dilute the broth, making it less flavorful. For example, if you're making my Vegan Zucchini Noodle Ramen, add an extra dash of soy sauce before serving. Other seasonings that can be appropriate are salt, pepper, spices, hot sauce, etc.

What is everyone eating this week?
I've mentioned before that this time of year is my favorite to spiralize.
Call me a rutabaga girl, but there's something about the root veggies especially during this time of year that gets me excited to spiralize!
Today, I'm sharing a list of all the produce that's abundant this time of year (winter is officially just a week away!) and showing you how to spiralize it all with videos, along with some of my favorite recipes for each veggie.
Over the weekend, Lu and I went to the farmer's market. We hadn't been in a couple of weeks, and it was nice to see our local farmer Dale.
One of the best parts of publishing a cookbook is seeing everyone's photos of the dishes they've made from the cookbook.
Today's the last day of "cookbook week" and I'm rounding up all of my blogger friends who featured a recipe from Inspiralize Everything this week!
So, thanks to my blogger friends who shared about it and also, thanks to all of you readers who have been making recipes from the book all week!
No more teasers and mini-mentions. The cat's out of the bag: my second cookbook is coming out this summer (August 16th, to be exact)!
The title? Inspiralize Everything. I have so much to tell you!
Before I start freaking out with excitement, it's available now for pre-order from the following retailers below. Remember, just like last time, if you purchase now, you lock in this low pre-order price, and then later this year, it'll be like a surprise gift in the mail, once it publishes!
It's that time of year – everyone's planning for an epically healthy January now that Christmas is over and all the ham and pies have been polished off. Yay, pies!
We're back with another recipe roundup and this time, we're talking Paleo.
From now until the end of the year, I've decided to share some healthy recipe roundups of all of our best spiralized recipes.
Since I'm trying to spend more time with my family and husband and less time online and on my phone, I figured this was the best way to do this.
Plus, you're all traveling/celebrating the holidays anyway and not even reading this, right?


Car Sound Systems: When it boils down to your cars stereo speakers, it's important to NOT forget one of one of the most vital elements, component car speakers.

A hajnalka (Ipomoea) a burgonyavirágúak (Solanales) rendjébe és a szulákfélék (Convolvulaceae) családjába tartozó nemzetség.

Előfordulása
A hajnalkafajok eredeti előfordulási területe minden trópusi és szubtrópusi területet, valamint számos mérsékelt övi térséget is magába foglal. Az amerikai szuperkontinensen Kanada keleti felétől és az USA keleti kétharmadától kezdve, Közép-Amerikán és a Karib-térségen keresztül, Dél-Amerikáig - azon belül pedig Észak-Chiléig és Észak-Argentínáig találhatók meg. Észak-Amerikában más térségekbe, főleg a partok mentére betelepítették e növénynemzetség egyes fajait. Európában, csak a Földközi-tenger térségében őshonosak, azonban e kontinens más, északibb országaiba is betelepítették. Afrikában csak Burkina Fasóból és Nyugat-Szaharából hiányoznak. Irakon, az Egyesült Arab Emírségeken és Ománon kívül az egész Arab-félszigeten, Dél-Ázsiában és Délkelet-Ázsiában mindenhol fellelhetők; azonban az utóbbi országba betelepítették, úgyszintén több közép-ázsiai térségben, Kína és Kelet-Ázsia egyes részeiben is meghonosították. Japánban, valamint az Ázsia és Ausztrália között elterülő szigetvilágokban számos hajnalkafaj őshonos. Eredeti előfordulási területük többek között Ausztrália és Új-Zéland is.

Megjelenésük
Az idetartozó növények lehetnek egyévesek, kétévesek vagy akár évelők; elfásultak vagy lágy szárúak. Leveleik mindig levélnyeleken ülnek, azonban méretük és alakjuk fajtól függően igen változatos. A virágaik a sövényszulákéra (Calystegia sepium) emlékeztetnek, azonban megint fajtól függően igen változatos színűek lehetnek.

The draws were almost the full height of each shelf cavity and could be slid out by grabbing them from the top. They were made out of cardboard that I had left over from the packaging that my kitchen splash back came in.
The shape of each cut out is like that so that I could have a steady triangular base and then fold the sides up to make an enclosed box. The measurements were just slightly smaller than the available space in the shelf cavities.
This is what they looked like after folding and sticking together with sticky tape to hold them in shape temporarily.
I ended up making quite a few of these. Packing tape was used to hold them together permanently, it was stuck along all of the unjoined edges.
For the outside of these shelf boxes I used a cheap material called "Enviro Cloth" that cost around $3.99/m. It was cut into strips wider than the height of each box and wrapped around with some PVA glue to adhere it in place. I tried using contact adhesive here first but the can I bought seemed to be faulty so switched to PVA. It was a mess to work with but it did get the job done.
Excess cloth was wrapped around and into the inside of each box.
Then the bottom was covered in a piece of cloth cut to shape of the box. You can see that when PVA dried out it was almost not noticeable.
That about wraps it up. These shelves were sturdy enough to keep lots of items inside them, though they did struggle and bend a little when I had them loaded to the brim with old computer hard drives. The best part was all of the things that would have usually fallen off/out of the shelves before were now safely inside the drawers. This also meant that I could fit a lot more into these shelves which was my initial goal!

A supply issue between the "big two" supermarkets and major food manufacturers has left many consumers without access to popular products this week.
A dispute over prices saw Mars Australia refuse to supply Woolworths and Coles with its popular pet food products because they wouldn't accept price rises, 9 News reported.
Mars Petcare owns 55 pet food brands including three of the top five in the world, Whiskas, Pedigree and Royal Canin.
Similarly at Woolworths, Uncle Toby's products were noticeably absent from shelves.
"We have a supply issue with Woolworths which we're both working hard to resolve to make sure that Uncle Tobys products are available there soon as well. This issue is only related to our breakfast cereal products," a spokesperson for Nestlé told Inside Retail.
Customers vented their frustration online over the lack of Uncle Tobys and Mars Petcare products Whiskas and Pedigree on shelves at their local supermarkets this week.
While Coles appears to have resolved the issue for now, Woolworths said it is expecting to see some stock from Mars Petcare and Nestlé flowing back into stores in the coming days.
A spokesperson for Coles told Inside Retail on Friday morning, "We are in full supply with both [Uncle Tobys and Mars Petcare products]".
"Food and grocery manufacturers, big and small, are conscious of cost of living pressures on consumers, and have been absorbing rising manufacturing costs for some time, given retail food and grocery prices have been dropping for about seven years," Barden said in a statement to Inside Retail.
Barden said that these tough economic times facing the industry could lead to companies seeking an increase in their wholesale price, shrinking pack sizes or rationalising product range offerings to continue to manufacture in Australia.
Barden added that the pressure on food and grocery manufacturers is forcing many to consider job cuts or cutting back on product ranges.

Honoring Justice Thurgood Marshall: the right man and the right place
June 12, 2017 June 15, 2017 by jessiekratz, posted in - Civil Rights, News and Events
Thurgood Marshall, 6/13/1967. (National Archives Identifier 2803441)
On June 13, 1967, President Lyndon B. Johnson nominated Thurgood Marshall to be the first African American justice of the Supreme Court of the United States.
After graduating from Howard University Law School in 1933, Marshall worked in private practice in his home town, Baltimore. In one of his earliest cases, he represented the local chapter of the NAACP in a suit challenging the University of Maryland Law School's segregation policy.
Marshall himself had been a victim of that policy, having applied to the program but turned down because he was black.
After winning the case, Marshall joined the NAACP national staff in New York in 1936. For the next 25 years he led the legal challenge to end racial segregation in U.S.
Brown v. Board of Education, Order for Appearance, Thurgood Marshall, 12/3/1951. (National Archives Identifier 301670)
By mounting a series of federal court cases, Marshall set out to reverse the "separate but equal" doctrine established by the Supreme Court's Plessy v. Ferguson (1896) decision.
Marshall's most famous segregation case was Brown v. Board of Education of Topeka (1954), in which the Supreme Court struck down "separate but equal" in public education ruling state-sanctioned segregation in public schools was a violation of the 14th Amendment.
In the 32 cases he argued before the Supreme Court, Marshall won 29.
In 1961 President John F. Kennedy nominated Marshall to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit, a new position. Despite his immense qualifications, the confirmation was held up in the Senate, and Marshall served the first several months under a recess appointment.

Marshall remained on the Court of Appeals until 1965, when President Johnson appointed Marshall to be the United States Solicitor General. Marshall was the first African American to hold that position.
As U.S. Solicitor General, he was successful in 14 out of the 19 cases that he argued on behalf of the U.S. Government.
Because of Marshall's stellar record, he rose to the top of Johnson's list of possible Supreme Court candidates should a vacancy occur. In June 1967, Associate Justice Tom C. Clark's retirement created that vacancy.
President Lyndon B. Johnson Meeting with Thurgood Marshall in the Oval Office, 6/13/1967. (National Archives Identifier 2803439)
Johnson, a proponent of civil rights, was very much aware of the significance of appointing the first African American to the nation's highest court. The President said of Marshall:
I believe he earned that appointment; he deserves the appointment. He is best qualified by training and by very valuable service to the country. I believe it is the right thing to do, the right time to do it, the right man and the right place. I trust that his nomination will be promptly considered by the Senate.
This time the confirmation process wasn't quite as drawn out.
On August 30, 1967, by a 69-11 vote, the Senate confirmed the appointment, and Marshall took the oath of office on October 2, 1967. He served for 24 years, retiring on October 1, 1991.

During his early years on the court, he was a member of the liberal majority, led by Chief Justice Earl Warren and later by Justice William Brennan. As the court became increasingly conservative in the Reagan years, Marshall was in the minority on many of the court's decisions, most notably on its position on capital punishment.
Marshall believed the death penalty to be "cruel and unusual punishment," a violation of the Eighth Amendment to the Constitution.
Marshall retired from the court in 1991 for health reasons, and died of heart failure on January 24, 1993.
Upon Marshall's death, President Bill Clinton issued a Presidential Proclamation in which he said of Marshall:
Perhaps no other American lawyer has had more impact on the current meaning and content of the U.S. Constitution. As the leading attorney for the N.A.A.C.P. Legal Defense and Education Fund, Justice Marshall's twenty-nine victories before the U.S. Supreme Court breathed life into the text of the Fourteenth Amendment and guaranteed all Americans equality and liberty in their individual choices concerning voting, housing, education, and travel. As an appeals court judge, the Solicitor General of the United States and, finally, Supreme Court Justice, he worked tirelessly to expand and protect his vision of justice for America. As our Nation begins to chart its course for the next century, it is fitting that we pause to honor and remember the courageous, purposeful life of Thurgood Marshall.
To honor the legacy of this native of Baltimore, the state of Maryland in 2005 named the Baltimore/Washington International Airport the Baltimore/Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport.

To commemorate the 50th anniversary of Johnson's nomination of Marshall to the Supreme Court of the United States, the National Archives Museum is having a special exhibit in the East Rotunda Gallery from June 8 to July 26, 2017.

Team Quick Step-Floors reports on the Tour de Wallonie
Here's the team's stage three news:
Stage 3 of the Tour de Wallonie started from Binche, where one month ago Yves Lampaert soloed to a beautiful victory at the National Championships, and took the riders to La Roche-en-Ardenne, over an appetizing course stacked with six categorized climbs which made an important selection before the last two hurdles of the day, Côte de Samrée (8.9km, 3.8%) and Côte du Pied Mont (2.6km, 6.3%).
It was there that a strong Quick-Step Floors delegation containing Pieter Serry and neo-pros James Knox and Jhonatan Narvaez put down the hammer and strung out the favourites' top, which was reduced to a handful of riders. Serry tested the water on two occasions, but each time his opponents reacted, just as it happened later, when Tiago Machado (Katusha-Alpecin) and Aleksandr Riabushenko (UAE Team Emirates) accelerated over the top of the last ascent.

This cat and mouse game was speculated by Odd Christian Eiking (Wanty-Groupe Gobert), who went clear on the descent and built a gap which couldn't be closed by the chasers, who were left fighting for the minor placings. Narvaez and Serry both finished in the top 10, the latter cementing his second position in the general classification – where his Ecuadorian teammate lies in sixth, same time as Knox, who is tenth – with just two stages left on the menu.
Team Sunweb's upcoming racing
The team sent me this update:
TOUR OF DENMARK (2.HC)
Team Sunweb coach Morten Bennekou (DEN): "This is the first race for our stagiaires Max and Nils, and the first time Cees will wear the team's colours. For their development it's very good that we offer our young talents the opportunity to race on the WorldTour level, whilst allowing them to get some experience from the older guys. With three fast stages, our plan is to launch the younger guys like Max in the sprint. He has had good preparations over the past few months and using the experience of guys like Tom and Roy, we hope to go for a good result here. It's also the first race again for Lennard, we're happy to have him back and we will give him some time to gain rhythm."

TOUR ALSACE (UCI 2.2)
Team Sunweb coach Koen de Haan (NED): "At Tour Alsace Joris makes his comeback after undergoing surgery earlier this year. Over the last few weeks he has done a good block of training and raced some crits, so all signs are pointing to a good first race back with the Development Program. With some hard mountain stages in the race, Marc will be our GC leader. After his European title U23 he went to the team camp in Düren with the other riders in the line-up. They prepared the race together as team and will execute this plan during the five stages in Alsace. The race starts on Wednesday with a short team time trial and we're really looking forward to getting underway with it all."

CLASICA SAN SEBASTIAN (WT)
Team Sunweb coach Luke Roberts (AUS): "CSS is a hilly race, with a technical descent into San Sebastian for the finish. Our goal is to go for a result with Michael, and we've got some strong legs coming out of the Tour de France with Laurens, Simon and Chad to support him on the tougher parts of the race. We've also got Aussie duo Jai and Chris, alongside Martijn who will also play a vital role in a solid result. Michael is back in good shape after abandoning the Tour with sickness, so we line up with confidence that we can take a nice result."

TOUR DE POLOGNE (WT)
Team Sunweb coach Aike Visbeek (NED): "We go to Poland with a GC goal with Sam and stage results with Phil. The parcours are challenging but the course suits us with the line up that we have. We can ride offensively and make sure that we get Sam into the best GC position for the last two stages, where the overall result will really be decided. It's most of our riders first race back after a summer break so it will be interesting to see how it goes. Everyone is feeling motivated for a good race."
