Stuart Harold Buxbaum
Virginia Beach—Stuart Harold Buxbaum, age 87, died peacefully at his home on January 12, 2023.
On March 26, 1935, Stuart was born in Jamaica, N.Y., to the late Julius and Margie Buxbaum. He is predeceased by his sister, Carol Waranch.
In the 1940s, Julius moved his family to Tidewater, settling in Norfolk to pursue an opportunity in the home-building business. During this time, Julius and Margie became founding members of Temple Israel. Stuart attended Granby High School and graduated in 1953. While he was never large enough to play football, Coach Johnny Brown appreciated his organizing skills and made him Team Manager. Stuart remained close with many of his high school friends for more than 60 years. He joined the Army Reserve, receiving an honorable discharge in 1963. He attended Virginia Tech and returned home to work in his family's business, Buxbaum & Waranch, a land development and home building company. In the late 1980s, Stuart started another business with his eldest son, Ed. Together, S&E Builders continued to build custom homes for another 30 years throughout Hampton Roads.
In 1963, Stuart and his former wife, Alice Epstein Buxbaum, moved their young family to Carolanne Farms in Kempsville. Stuart didn't take long to discover his passion and need to serve his community. He joined the Kempsville Volunteer Fire and Rescue Squad that same year. During his 21-year commitment, Stuart rose to the rank of Volunteer Fire Chief. In 1968, he was involved in the purchase of state-of-the-art fire and rescue equipment. As a building boom began in Virginia Beach, so was the need for a new fire station. Stuart was able to procure land and oversaw the development of Station 10 Woodstock. In 1975, the building was completed and opened with nine firefighters. Stuart served as a role model and had the honor of becoming a surrogate Dad to many of the young volunteers at the station. He always believed that what happened at the station stayed at the station, even when the principal at Kempsville High School would call looking for some of his students. Stuart always welcomed new members and passionately shared his love for serving others in need.
In 1984, the Kempsville Ruritans recognized Stuart's dedication to the community and named him "Citizen of the Year." Stuart always had a passion for water. If he wasn't fighting fires, and building homes, he would be racing his mini hydroplane boat, "Little Bux," along the mid-Atlantic.
In 1986, Stuart began another chapter of his life with his wife, Marilyn Dozoretz Buxbaum. They have been happily married for more than 36 beautiful years. Together they shared their love of the Washington Redskins, Old Dominion football, Doumar's vanilla ice cream, parades, many Virginia Arts Festivals, and Military Tattoo performances. While Stuart never had much of an ear for rhythm and music, he began playing the tambourine in Marilyn's Klezmer band. He proudly dressed in European attire, sharing Marilyn's love of music with her and the band.
Stuart and Marilyn loved to spend their winter months in Naples, Fla. Naturally, they made friends wherever they traveled. It was a visit to the Conservancy of Southwest Florida when Stuart found a renewed way to serve. He began training as a Dock Master, which became his latest love. Stuart always made sure the scheduler had his availability, often stepping up and filling vacant spots. There was always something to learn; in turn, he loved sharing his stories.
Stuart will be missed by the many lives he touched and the lifelong friendships he made along the way.
He is survived by his loving and devoted wife, Marilyn Buxbaum. His children Ed (Jackie) of Virginia Beach, Susan (Jorge) of Tucson, Ariz., Margie of Virginia Beach, and Jon (Mara) of Raleigh, N.C. Papa to Brian, Kevin, Emma, Jacob, Ben, Drew, and Nate. He is also survived by Marilyn's daughters, Shari (Andrew) and Renee (John) of Virginia Beach and grandchildren Erica (Andrew), Craig (Sophia), Jason, Julia (Matt), Jacqueline, and Joseph.
The family would like to thank the compassionate caregivers provided by Seniorcorps/The Key, Jewish Family Service of Tidewater, and Westminster Canterbury Hospice.
Funeral services were graveside at Forest Lawn Cemetery, officiated by Rabbi Rosalin Mandelberg. Please consider a donation to Kempsville Volunteer Rescue Squad, Ohef Sholom Temple, Alzheimer's Association, or a charity of your choice. Online condolences may be offered to the family at hdoliver.com.

A rumor last month said that Samsung will out a foldable smartphone sometime in the Q3-A4 2017 timeframe. However, if a new report is to go by, launch might not happen until next year as the phone will enter production in Q4.
The report, which cites sources from Taiwan's handset supply chain, says that the tech giant will begin a "small production" in the fourth quarter of this year, adding that mass production isn't expected to start until H2 2018.
The reason behind this delay is said to be technical issues involving the production and reliability of the PI (polyimide)-based plastic cover, which is a key component as far as production of foldable smartphones is concerned.
"While PI substrates are being produced in large volume currently, mass production of PI-based plastic covers with reliable quality is not expected to come until the first half of 2018," the report cites sources as saying.
In case you missed, Samsung is rumored to showcase a foldable phone at this year's MWC.

Tata Intra pick-up achieves 1 lakh sales milestone

Tata Motors Passenger Vehicles clocks 4 Million production milestone in India
Tata Motors today reached a landmark achievement of producing 4 million passenger vehicles in India, since its inception. The company expresses its gratitude to the tremendous customer support that has made this accomplishment possible. In light of this, Tata Motors has launched the 'We Love You 4 Million' campaign to honour the support of its customers through this successful journey.
Over the years, Tata Motors has produced legendary vehicles like the Indica, Sierra, Sumo, Safari and the Nano that have played a pivotal role in the shaping the country in its post economic liberalisation era. These iconic vehicles have broken barriers across categories in the Indian automobile sector. With the launch of the Tata Safari, the company pioneered the concept of a 'lifestyle SUV' to the industry, thereby creating the most aspirational four-wheeler for its customers.
In honour of the legacy of Mr. Sumant Moolgaonkar, Tata Motors introduced the first ever MPV in Tata Sumo. With Indica, the company changed the customer perception in terms of how a passenger vehicle is received. In the more recent past, Tata Motors redefined the entry level car and the compact SUV segment with the rollout of the Tiago and the Nexon respectively.
As of today, with its New Forever BS6 range consisting of the Tiago, Tigor, Nexon, Harrier and the Altroz, the company has the youngest and the safest product portfolio in the market. Tata Motors has been India's first car manufacturer to have received a 5-star Global NCAP rating for its model, the Nexon. Tata Motors is also India's largest EV manufacturer with 67% market share and leading the way on electric vehicle adoption in India.
The company had achieved the 1 million production mark for passenger vehicles in 2005-06, 3 million in 2015 and the 4 million production milestone was achieved this month.

Micah Parsons Apologizes for Reaction to Brittney Griner's Release
Alejandro Noren
Most Twitter users were thrilled to hear that Brittney Greiner was released from Russian captivity on Thursday . Some expressed disappointment that Paul Whelan (a former Marine) was not part of the prisoner exchange which resulted in Griner being released.
Cowboys star Micah Parsons was one of those people and caught some backlash when he tweeted, "Wait nah!! We left a Marine?? Parson's reaction could have been interpreted as dismay at Griner's release from Whelan. Parson responded to his tweet after a little more than an hour and then went on to criticize President Joe Biden.
"His last tweet was not a shot at Brittney Griner," said he. "I'm just super glad she's home as she should be. I have my family who served, and it's absurd that the President wouldn't bring them home.
He addressed his remarks after more backlash, and apologized.
"Just spoke with some people I respect and trust," Parsons wrote in a tweet. "I should have been more informed on the topic and not tweeted out emotion for my family members and those who have served. I am sorry for that. If what I have heard about the attempts to bring Ret. Marine Paul Whelan home is true, then the best outcome was achieved.
" I pray Mr. Whelan returns home, but am very happy for Brittney's family," he said. "I am not too prideful to admit when I've made a mistake."
Parsons was likely informed that Biden and the U.S. reportedly attempted to swap international arms dealer Viktor Bout for both Griner and Whelan, but in the end this was the only deal that would be accepted, according to ESPN's T.J. Quinn. Whelan has been in captivity for almost four years after being accused of espionage and was sentenced to 16 years in prison. His relatives released a statement following Griner's release.
"I'm so glad Brittney Griner's on her way home," David Whelan (Paul's twin brother) said in a statement. via ABC's Jay O'Brien . "As a family member of a Russian hostage I can only imagine the joy she'll have, being reunited and in time for Christmas. There is no greater success than wrongful detainees being freed and allowed to return home. The Biden Administration made the right decision to bring Ms. Griner home, and to make the deal that was possible, rather than waiting for one that wasn't going to happen."

semble them into a notebook, by size, by date of statehood or alphabetically. Have fun!


The average person will move over 11 times in their life, and the difference between a good move and a bad move comes down to two things: Is it raining and did grandma's china arrive intact. While we can't control the weather, with the proper packing materials, you can guarantee the china makes it in one piece.
Whether you are moving across the city or across the country, we are here for our heroes! Sign up and see how Homes for Heroes can save you money on your next buy, sell, or refinance!
There are many packing materials available to you, but keeping it simple is the best and surprisingly least expensive way to go. You want a large package of 24" x 36" packing paper. Ten pounds of paper may be enough for a small collection of china, but 20 pounds would be needed for a complete 12 place setting with serving dishes.
Packing paper is a heavy-duty newspaper without print, and it provides the best support and protection for breakables. Don't skimp on this item. You want a good quality paper, and you want a lot of it. For smaller pieces, buy tissue paper at your local store with "dollar" in the title. That seems to be the most inexpensive source of tissue paper.
Purchase brand new medium size boxes that are all one uniform square size. An adequately packed box, stacked with identically sized square boxes, is the most secure and resilient packing method. Buy a sufficient number of glass pack kits. These are a grid of cardboard with sections for glasses and stemware.
Use black and red permanent markers to mark the boxes. You want to use the red to mark FRAGILE CHINA in large block letters on the front and top of every box. Use the black to label the contents and name of china pattern, if you have more than one. Packing tape completes the list of materials.
The basic technique is to pack the boxes in such a way that when you shake the sealed box up, down and sideways, no two pieces of china strike each other, and you hear absolutely no shifting. The box should be packed as tightly with paper as possible, keeping the square shape of the containers (no bulging sides or tops).
Start every box with a one to two-inch layer of crumpled paper, placing the heaviest items in the bottom. Pack same sized china pieces in bundles. Don't pack any box so dense that you can't comfortably lift and carry it securely. Stack these boxes together and move them when you are fresh and rested. Only adults move boxes marked FRAGILE CHINA. Let the kids take the boxes of less fragile items. Get all the boxes moved before you start getting tired.
Start with plates as they are the easiest type to bundle. Place the wrapping paper on a table with a corner pointing at you. Wrap the plate once diagonally, then tuck the left side of the paper on top of the plate, then the right side of the paper. Wrap diagonally once more, then tuck left side, then right. Continue until you finish the piece of packing paper.
Wrap four plates individually. Stack them together in the same direction and wrap the bundle of four plates together. Continue until you have bundled all plates. Use this method with dinner plates, salad plates, and saucers. Pack all the bundled dishes edge side down, as impact to the center of the plates is the most dangerous.
Wrap bowls similarly, but in bundles of two or three. Bowls with handles are wrapped separately, one at a time. Verify that the handles are sufficiently cushioned, wrapping each bowl separately with two or three wraps of paper, depending on the size of handles. Again, pack these bundles with the edge (not a handle side) down.
Wrap tea cups and mugs from the corner with left and right side tucking covering the handle. Bundle them two at a time with the body of one supporting the handle of the other. These bundles can be stacked or laid on their side.
Take extra care with serving pieces by using a second or third paper wrap. With large platters, stagger two pieces of paper, so you have two corners pointing towards you about six inches apart. Wrap diagonally twice then tuck the left side and the right side. Continue to the end of the paper and repeat.
When you are packing any piece with a lid, wrap the lid first, keeping track of the top handle. Wrap the serving piece and then bundle with the handle upside down inside the serving piece. Having the handle facing the empty cavity of the serving piece ensures that other bundles will not strike it directly.
With large and expensive pieces like Teapots, Coffee Pots, and Soup Tureens, take the extra precaution of wrapping them alone. When items break, it is usually due to striking other items in the box, so packing them separately with lots of crumpled packing paper is the safest way to transport them.
Wrap each glass individually, placing them in the gridded glass pack kits. Place layers of cardboard in between glass pack kits. With stemware, you want to take a piece of packing paper and fold it to the height of the stem. Wrap the folded piece of paper around the stem and secure with tape. Then wrap the glass diagonally and place in the glass pack grid.
Some china has pieces with incredibly fragile ceramic leaves and flower petals, et cetera. In these cases, you want to cushion those delicate parts with several layers of tissue paper before you wrap in packing paper. Arrange the tissue paper, so it cups the areas in protected airspace, allowing the packing paper to support the tissue paper structure. You may want to find cardboard boxes to wrap these incredibly fragile items and then place these smaller boxes in the packing box.
Using these materials and methods, you should be able to successfully pack, store and move your valuable china knowing you've offered it the best protection to enjoy it long into the future.

El DFS Weihe (en español: aguilucho) es un planeador monoplaza alemán, de ala alta, 18 m de envergadura y altas prestaciones, que fue diseñado por Hans Jacobs en 1937-38.

Diseño y desarrollo

Jacobs diseñó el Weihe para que fuera el planeador de prestaciones preeminente de su época y, de hecho, consiguió muchos campeonatos y estableció muchas plusmarcas, hasta que sus prestaciones fueron superadas a finales de los años 50. Incluso hoy en día está considerado uno de los "diseños clásicos de velero".

El Weihe es de construcción en madera con recubrimiento de tela en los bordes de fuga alares y en las superficies de control. El larguero está construido de pino silvestre, con un borde de ataque de caja en forma de D, fuselaje y porciones fijas de las superficies de cola de abedul. El perfil alar es de sección Gö 549-M.2 modificada. Las primeras versiones despegaban desde un carrito y aterrizaban sobre un patín fijo, mientras que las últimas disponían de un tren de aterrizaje de rueda fija y patín. Equipado originalmente con aerofrenos de estilo DFS, algunos fueron más tarde modificados con los de estilo Schempp-Hirth en su lugar. El avión incorpora un sistema único de arriostrado que ha sido ampliamente copiado en planeadores posteriores.

Inicialmente, el avión fue producido por Deutsche Forschungsanstalt für Segelflug (Instituto alemán de investigación del vuelo a vela, DFS) y más tarde por Jacobs-Schweyer. Tras la Segunda Guerra Mundial, fue producido por Focke-Wulf, así como en Francia, España, Suecia y Yugoslavia. La producción del Weihe totalizó más de 400 ejemplares.

Historia operacional

El Weihe ganó los Campeonatos Mundiales de Vuelo a Vela de 1948 y 1950. Fue usado para establecer muchas plusmarcas mundiales y nacionales, incluyendo el récord mundial de altitud ganada en 1959 con 9665 m (31 709 pies).

Dick Johnson ganó el Campeonato Nacional de Vuelo a vela estadounidense de 1959 volando un ejemplar.

India arrogant and negative, says Imran Khan
Tabitha Cortez
On Friday, the Indian government, citing "the latest brutal killings of our security personnel by Pakistan-based entities and the recent release of a series of 20 postage stamps by Pakistan glorifying a (slain) terrorist (Burhan Wani) and terrorism", had called off the meeting in NY.
Earlier, it was reported that Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan would not attend the UNGA session in order to focus his attention on the country's economy and local problems.
Late on Friday night, Pakistan's foreign ministry said it was "deeply disappointed".
"Disappointed at the arrogant & negative response by India to my call for resumption of the peace dialogue", he wrote.
It is learnt that senior officials of the PMO and the External Affairs Ministry held a meeting on Friday afternoon and took note of the nation-wide outrage over the mutilation of the body of the BSF jawan near Jammu and the abduction and killing of three J-K policemen. Separately, Indian army chief General Bipin Rawat also threatened to take launch action against Pakistan.
In response Pakistan's military spokesman said his country was "ready for war".
More news: Senate candidates Cruz, O'Rourke square off in fractious debate
Criticising the Indian statement, former Indian High Commissioner to Pakistan Sharat Sabharwal tweeted: "IFS (Indian Foreign Service) does not draft such election oriented statements or take such hasty flip-flop decisions".
The MEA's statement had also referred to stamps issued by the Pakistan postal service that glorified Kashmiri terrorists, including Burhan Wani.
India has long accused Pakistan of arming rebel groups in Kashmir, a Himalayan territory divided between the two countries but claimed in full by both.
India on Friday cited the "brutal" killing of three policemen in Jammu and Kashmir as well as the release of the postal stamps "glorifying" Kashmiri militant Burhan Wani for calling off the meeting between External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj and her Pakistani counterpart Shah Mehmood Qureshi on the sidelines of the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) in NY this month.
"India will have to respond to Pakistan in their own language without resorting to barbarism", Rawat told Indian media, according to Indian TV.
The reasons cited by the Indian side for cancelling the foreign ministers' meeting, within 24 hours of its public confirmation, were "entirely unconvincing", the statement said.

It is a time often marked with fasting – that is 'giving up something' – to help us draw nearer to God and to each other. Lent is a time to be especially attentive to our spiritual life through prayer and reading scripture.
And, it is a time when we strive to be more generous with our time, talent and treasure.
So often the Lenten disciplines feel more like punishment than practices that bring life. So often it feels more like we focus on our guilt rather than on God's GRACE.
This Lent, I invite you to enter this holy season with an open heart and an open mind on the lookout for wherever God's grace seems to touch your life. Be intentional about taking time each day to focus on God's goodness.
Each Sunday of Lent we will begin our worship service in reflective silence, receiving the silence as a gift to turn off the things that distract us from God and to become more and more aware of God's presence. Our worship will begin with the Penitential Rite, which is an extension of the Collect for Purity normally offered each Sunday, and which includes a Declaration of Forgiveness.
This is the movement from 'guilt' to 'grace'. You will also note that the service will have more silence than usual. Savor the quiet and connect with the unhurried graciousness of God's time.
May this holy Lenten time, be a good and sacred time between you and the Holy One.


A joint House hearing to question an FBI agent who worked on investigations involving both Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton quickly devolved into chaos as Republicans demanded he answer questions about the Russian Federation investigation.
As you know, Strzok was one of the key agents involved in investigating Russian interference, and in 2017 he was assigned to special counsel Robert Mueller's probe of the Russia scandal.
A joint House hearing to question FBI agent Peter Stzrok quickly devolved into chaos as Republicans demanded he answer questions about the Russian Federation investigation.
After a brief recess, Mr. Strzok said he was advised that he could answer the question. Gohmert shouted, turning back toward Strzok. Bannon had testified to the House Intelligence Committee a year ago, but did not answer any question not approved by the White House counsel. His lawyer has argued that the public hearing is an attempt by Republicans to "trap" Strzok, and they have urged the committee's Republicans to release the transcript of his closed-door interview.
Strzok told lawmakers in his opening statement that he followed department protocol handling sensitive information about the extent of Russia's meddling in the US election and the Trump team's potential role in it. Strzok was pulled off the Mueller investigation past year after the Justice Department's internal watchdog made the special prosecutor aware of the texts.
Strzok was asked if he ever thought of recusing himself from the investigation.
"It's now clear Donald Trump is not fit to be president of the United States and can not defeat Hillary Clinton", Connolly said, quoting Rep. Bradley Byrne, R-Ala. Strzok plainly is talking about some sort of action "we" will take, some intervention, not the passivity of hoping Americans will reject Trump based on information it already has.
Meanwhile, across the Potomac River in Alexandria, Virginia, former Trump campaign chair Paul Manafort arrived at his new jail facility, as he awaits the first of two trials on charges of money laundering, illegal foreign lobbying and obstruction of justice.
The court has not made a decision to impose any precautionary measures on Puigdemont, meaning that he remains a free man. The court has not chose to impose any precautionary measures on Puigdemont, meaning that he remains a free man.
"Furthermore, this isn't just me sitting here telling you, you don't have to take my word for it", Strzok said in a lengthy statement that ended with applause from Democrats.
The response was met with some applause in the committee room. Trump didn't do anything wrong, it's just one giant witch hunt! He described the texts as "hate filled and biased". "It simply couldn't happen, and the proposition that that is going on, that it might occur anywhere in the Federal Bureau of Investigation, deeply corrodes what the Federal Bureau of Investigation is in American society, the effectiveness of their mission, and it is deeply destructive".
In his most direct defense of the controversial texts, Strzok said he had written them "off-the-cuff" and that it was important to view them in the context of the heated election in 2016, during which Trump engaged in numerous outrageous, racially-charged feuds - including with the family of Muslim U.S. Army captain who was killed in Iraq in 2004. Strzok says he never allowed personal opinions to taint his work.
Strzok had sent Page a link to an article on Trump's criticism of the Khans, adding "F Trump".
"This investigation is not politically motivated, it is not a witch hunt, it is not a hoax", Strzok said in a statement to be delivered at the hearing.
Jeffress accused the panels of using unnecessary "bullying tactics" to push Page into an interview immediately, especially when "she has offered to voluntarily appear before the committees later this month".
Page told investigators that she and Strzok were having an affair, according to a Justice Department Inspector General's report about the Clinton email investigation, and that they used their work devices to hide that from their spouses.
Dabrowski and Xu will face No. 12 seeds Nicole Melichar of the USA and Kveta Peschke of the Czech Republic in the semifinals. Tendulkar, who is regular at Wimbledon finals, also expressed his regret at not being able to see Federer play this year.
Nadal battled hard to earn his first break, something he eventually collected when Del Potro hit the net from his backhand. It was as if that out-of-the-blue news threw the Spaniard off his stride and he fluffed his lines to drop his serve.
Hinch went to the mound to pull Giles from the game, the struggling closer cursed at Hinch before leaving the field. On Tuesday night against the Oakland Athletics , Giles entered the game in the 9th inning with Houston leading 4-0.
I've looked at it every day since - and it was the first thing I looked at when we got back this morning. The game ended with England down to 10 players and out of substitutes.
Liverpool have been trying to reignite a deal despite a hands-off warning issued before the World Cup. Former Stoke boss Mark Hughes signed Shaqiri from Inter Milan in August 2015 for £12million.
That is special, to see them play the way they have and we have a really good opportunity to get to a final. Gareth Southgate and his team have helped many fall back in love with the handsome game.
Crenshaw, who told police he acted in self-defense, was being held at Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center in Miami . Crenshaw allegedly said he used his feet to grab a pair of scissors from his suitcase and stabbed Coronado twice.
Sam Allardyce? He is more of a traditionalist, so under him England would have probably been knocked out on penalties in the quarter-finals, as is tradition.
He recently suggested that his relationship with Putin is "easier" than his relationships with USA allies in Britain and Europe. The remarks come as Trump is set to meet next week with Russian President Vladimir Putin .
Her life began at a Missouri puppy mill, where she spent five years before being purchased by the nonprofit Underdog Rescue . The World's Ugliest Dog title holder died early in the morning. "It's probably going to be the same with her passing".
I can be here, I can't come here and say, 'no, of course I want to play against the best players'". Eventually though, Djokovic pulled away with emphatic wins in both the third and fourth sets.
In part, that's because Kavanaugh's confirmation would give the court a decisive conservative majority for a generation. Do you think Kavanaugh is a good pick? The Senate eliminated its filibuster rule for Supreme Court nominees in 2017.
A YouGov/ITV Tonight poll released on Thursday found there is "broad support" for Trump among Britons. Donald Trump's July visit to the UK will be his first as president of the United States.
Salisbury's MP has pointed the finger at Vladimir Putin after a woman who was poisoned by a Russian nerve agent died. This has been identified as the same type of nerve agent that contaminated both Yulia and Sergei Skripal .
Anderson became the first South African in the Wimbledon semi-finals since Kevin Curren in 1983 and just the sixth in history. It was Federer's earliest departure from Wimbledon since his shock second round defeat against Sergiy Stakhovsky in 2013.
Most of the England players have also come in to existence. "That's right, I'm picking England to win another penalty shoot-out". Now, this is a massive day for the English team, it's their first World Cup semi-final in 28 years.
Most notably, the bottom bezel (or rather the chin) below the display is slightly smaller than that on the Note 8 . South Korean tech giant Samsung is now working on its 10th generation Galaxy S smartphones - S10 and S10 Plus.
Tintin and Asterix have always been rivals in the world of the comic strips for both are popular for their entertainment and art. Varane was injured when France lost the European Championship final two years ago, and he looks determined to make up for it.
We got further than anyone else thought we would have, so we've just got to learn from it and take what we can. He's been showing season-in, season-out that he's one of the best strikers in the Premier League.
Prince Harry's wife arrived in Ireland in a green top and matching skirt from Givenchy, as she paid tribute to Ireland. Meetings with The President of Ireland, Michael Higgins, and with The Taoiseach, Leo Varadkar, are both planned.
The royal family has close ties to the RAF, with four generations working closely with the aerial warfare force. Charlotte gave a cheery wave as she walked towards the cameras while George looked more hesitant.
On June 24, Israel's military said it launched a Patriot missile at an incoming drone from Syria, which turned away unscathed. The Israeli leader has met with Putin numerous times since Russia's military intervention in Syria began three years ago.
The Trump administration announced plans to levy tariffs on another $ 200 billion of Chinese goods as trade tensions escalate. The Chinese government, however, called it "totally unacceptable" and said it would take unspecified countermeasures.
A University of Miami student who was bitten by a nurse shark in the Bahamas this summer is recovering from the attack. Zarutskie hopes her modeling career will continue and she has not ruled out posing with sharks again.
His friend Joe Carter, 43, from York, added: "We really thought it was going to be different - this was our chance. This is the first time the two sides have met at the World Cup, and it is a long time coming for both.
What they found was that babies introduced to solids earlier slept, on average, for two hours more per week from six months of age.
Halep, as though she was caught completely off-guard by the lack of any complexity in the serve, hit it straight into the net. She followed that up with a straightforward victory over world #126 Zheng Saisai of China, who she beat 7-5 6-0.

DHARUG STRATEGIC MANAGEMENT GROUP
DSMG
EOI - DSMG Board Positions)
Exhibition Launch at Casula Powerhouse Art Centre
In her exhibition Munduhii (meaning 'shoes' in Gamilaraay), Kerry Toomey engages in the stories that wrap themselves around the feet, an essential part of each and everyone. For Toomey they represent her strong connection to Country and culture. They are inspired by stories of her family who grew up on the outskirts of Pilliga and incorporate emu feathers, echidna quills and snakeskin that have been passed down to her.
In 2020, DSMG contributed to sponsorship of the first Casula Powerhouse Aboriginal Scholarship Award. The winner of that prize was announced in November (you can see a video of the launch event at https://youtu.be/25rnuwOKBUg - see the prize announcement at the 20-minute mark).
The winner, Kerry Toomey, a Gamilaroi woman from Pilliga, was supported to prepare a solo exhibition titled Manduhii, which was launched at CPAC on May 15.
DSMG Director Emeritus Professor Richie Howitt spoke at the launch. This is the text of his talk:
Thank you Aunty Lyn Martin for your welcome to Cabrogal Country.
I would like to begin by acknowledging. I acknowledge that we meet today on the Cabrogal Nura. The Cabrogal Clan along with the other clans of the Dharug Nation and their neighbours have faced calamity with the transformation of Nura into the city that was named after a colonial politician whose knowledge of the Country whose colonisation he advocated was non-existent.
I acknowledge that stewardship of Cabrogal Country as for all Dharug Nura, has never been ceded and we are all guests whose treatment of Nura and Yura marks a continuing dark story in the long, long history of this place that we all call home.
I also acknowledge the Country and People of the Gamilaroi Nation, who have nurtured Kerry Toomey, the woman whose work we are here to celebrate today.
So much begins with acknowledging. Where refusal and denial of acknowledgement narrates absence, silence and closure, acknowledging opens possibilities. Acknowledging invites relationships, engagement and connection. It challenges difference and invites conversation – and listening. I look forward to the conversations that Kerry's work will catalyse as you engage with it.
I am Richie Howitt, a non-Indigenous director of the Dharug Strategic Management Group – a not-for-profit charity created in early-2018 to hold title to the first Dharug Nura returned to Dharug care since colonial times. The NSW Government returned the site of the Blacktown Native Institute – one of the key places implicated in the creation of the Stolen Generations policies that have so blighted First Nations across the southern continent and the history of the nation.
In choosing to sponsor the first Casula Powerhouse Aboriginal Scholarship Award, DSMG acknowledges the power of art in expressing First Nation experience, and its importance in opening new conversations that would connect the 60,000 plus years of wisdom and experience embedded in First Nations knowledges to just and sustainable futures.
Kerry's work focuses on her beloved Manduhii – the footwear that both connects and protects, that promotes flamboyant display or modest practicality – and many things in between.
When I first saw Kerry's work, I was deeply impressed both by the beauty of its execution and the power of the ideas it embodies. The image of a map of Country embracing the sole of the wearer's foot in that initial work, was a startling reminder of the remarkable strength of First Nations women who have survived, nurtured and resisted over generations – always standing strong on Country even when separated from it. I am really humbled to be asked to speak at the opening of the solo exhibition a year later.
Congratulations to Kerry on the body of work she has prepared for this exhibition, and to our colleagues here at the Casula Powerhouse for their support in mounting the exhibition. The transformation of this building into a place that so powerfully nurtures expression, diversity and conversation is a great example of the importance of art in transforming the darkest moments of our stories into opportunities to shine.
So I welcome you all to step out together in whatever Manduhii you are wearing and to join me in acknowledging a wonderful exhibition by a wonderful artist whose vision of walking together is challenging, inspiring and quite simply beautiful.
Didjergura. Yanu.

He released a music album in 1994, "Peep This", and sings the theme song for his 1999 movie, Any Given Sunday (1999). However, in 1989, his life changed when a girl friend challenged him to get up onstage at the Comedy Club. In fact, he says he took his androgynous stage name because he learned that women got preference for mike time on open stage nights. That led to his being cast in Roc (1991) and In Living Color (1990).Foxx had his own WB television show from 1996 to 2001, the sitcom The Jamie Foxx Show (1996), in which he played Jamie King Jr. Foxx is also a Grammy Award-winning musician, producing four albums which have charted highly on the US Billboard 200: Unpredictable (2005), which topped the chart, Intuition (2008), Best Night of My Life (2010), and Hollywood: A Story of a Dozen Roses (2015).

Taylor, you took a chance, man. I mean that love for Ray Charles was deep, down in the earth. It's cracked open. And it's spilling. And everybody's drowning in this love. I thank you for taking a chance on this film. And thank you for waiting 15 years to get me to do it. I want to thank you.I want to thank Crusader. I want to thank my agents. I want to thank Rick Kurtzman. I want to thank Kim Hodges. I want to thank 'Steve Smooke'. I want to thank my managers, Jaime King [Jaime Rucker King] and Marcus King.

And, yes, Sidney Poitier said, "I saw you once. And I looked in your eyes and there was a connection." And he says, "I give to you responsibility." So, I'm taking that responsibility tonight. And, thank you, Sidney.This is probably going to be the toughest part of this speech. My daughter shares my grandmother's name, "Marie." My grandmother's name is Estelle Marie Talley. She's not here tonight. And this is going to be the toughest part. But she was my first acting teacher. She told me to stand up straight. Put your shoulders back. Act like you got some sense.We would go places. And I would wild out. And she would say, "Act like you've been somewhere." And then when I would act the fool, she would beat me. She would whup me. And she could get an Oscar for the way she whupped me because she was great at it. And after she whipped me, she would talk to me and tell me why she whipped me. She said I want you to be a southern gentleman. She still talks to me now. Only now, she talks to me, in my dreams. And I can't wait to go to sleep tonight because we got a lot to talk about. I love you. Show less «

(2010, on staying grounded) My homies that are around me never give me that 'star pass.' I've hung out with some stars who are playing basketball and everyone let's them score all the baskets. Shooting pool, they let them make all the shots. My homies don't let me get away with that. Also, I think having that comic gene kind of makes you look at things in a different way. If you take yourself so seriously, eventually you end up one of those people having a 'Do Not Disturb' sign on their lives. You see them drawing the curtains and they don't even realize that they've kind of drifted off somewhere. You have to pay attention to it -- fame and success. When people are saying that you're at the top of the world, it's tough to kind of turn your back on it and say, 'Well, let me look at it in a different way.'

Following a troubled week of riots across London and other major cities in England the Prime Minister has announced that every government policy will be under review to make sure that they can fix a "broken society." But how will these changes in Government policy actually be implemented? William Sharman investigates.
David Cameron has promised today that tackling the "broken society," will be top of the agenda and that he will speed up plans to improve parenting and deal with anti-social behaviour. In his speech he also said that he aims to "turn around the lives of the 120,000 most troubled families" by 2015 as well as pledging to start an "all out" war on gang culture. The PM described the rioting last week as a "wake up call for the country," and that the "worst of Britain," had been seen during the trouble. This all led to him concluding his speech by saying that the Broken Society was now back at the top of his agenda. He also talked about improving education for parents and children in less well off areas around the country.
As obvious and good ideas as these seem, there are however massive problems with actually implementing them. Firstly and perhaps most obvious is the cost involved. In an age in which public sector spending is being cut left, right and centre there is no room left in the budget for added social costs. The current economic plan is not producing the growth that the Chancellor hoped to see and with the added trouble from America and the Euro zone it looks like a fair while until there is any money to spend on extra social measures. My question then is how can Cameron and his government start an all out war on gangs as an example. Wars are expensive even in the metaphorical sense I am sure the PM means. The US has had a massive gang problem for years and has been able to do very little to tackle it but I suppose that's why we are trying to take some of their ideas and implement them into our policing. To bring in suitable changes that could help stop the gang problem would cost a fortune that this country cannot spare at the moment. So money is clearly an issue in the changes that the PM is proposing.
The second problem is that how do you actually go about improving the parenting and reducing anti-social behaviour in poorer areas of the country? In his speech Cameron included children without fathers, schools without discipline and communities without control as some of the main social problems that "have been festering for decades and have exploded in our face." How does the PM propose to tackle these problems though? Firstly how can you reduce the amount of children without fathers? This is a deep-rooted problem with society and would be very hard to tackle. Maybe massive amounts of education could help to persuade fathers that staying with their families is better than leaving but I would imagine this advice would be ignored. Reducing the amount of teenage mothers would definitely help this problem but again this is a problem that the PM is going to find very hard to sort out. Education seems to be the only reasonable solution as well.
To increase discipline in schools would require extra funding but with the current economic climate, and with the academy plans for schools it seems it will be a long while before there is extra funding for poorer schools. One way to increase discipline though would be to try to reduce truancy rates but again this is a deep-seated problem with society that the PM has to tackle as well. Larger punishments for not being in school is one solution, but it is most likely down to how the parents react that will affect the children.
I would imagine education for parents is again the only solution. But as with all these problems, a massive amount of money and time will be needed and I am afraid that the bare minimum will be done to simply cover up the problems inherent to our society.
My greatest fear is that we will simply patch the broken society back together and let it slowly fall apart all over again.

In this video, we show you how to play Game of Thrones: Hand of the King card game.
Game of Thrones: Hand of the King is a card game for 2-4 players designed by Bruno Cathala and published by Fantasy Flight Games. It is a fast game lasting 15-30 minutes.
We play through it twice and share our thoughts on it afterwards.
We also chat a bit about the show since we are looking forward to watching the final season of Game of Thrones.
Throughout the video, Darcy is sipping on a glass of mulling spiced wine. She made it with the Seasonal alcohol infusion kit from InBooze.
How to Play Game of Thrones: Hand of the King
After shuffling the cards, lay the square character cards (they have the Hand of the King pin on the back) face up in a 6×6 grid. This grid creates King's Landing.
Place the house banners off to the side.
Deal 6 companion cards, face up, along one side of King's Landing.
On your turn, you look at where Varys is and can move him either up, down, left, or right. Declare which direction you are moving him and to which house.
Move Varys to the farthest character of that house in that row or column. Take all the cards of that house that were between Varys' original position and his final position.
The player with the most members of a particular house after their turn takes the house banner.
Alternate turns, continuing to move Varys until he can no longer be moved.
If you pick up the final member of a house, then you get to select a companion card and immediately do what it says.
If you and another player have the same number of characters from a house, neither of you controls the banner.
At the end of the game, the player who controls the most house banners is declared the winner.
Game of Thrones: Hand of the King Review
We think Game of Thrones: Hand of the King is a good option for a quick two player game. It's simple to teach, but the gameplay is strategic.
This makes it a good option to introduce to someone who loves Game of Thrones, but may not play a lot of strategy games.
We haven't played it with 3 or 4 players yet, so we are not sure if we have a preference on player count. It's small, which makes it great to take along, but the smaller cards are trickier to shuffle really well.
The game is different each time based on the order of the cards laid out in King's Landing and the 6 randomly drawn companion cards.

Nutwood Place is a historic farm complex on the northern edge of Urbana, Ohio, United States. Today composed of the farmhouse, a round barn, and a small amount of former fields, the farm has been owned by some of Urbana's leading families.  Colonel William Ward, the founder of Urbana and the farm's original owner, built the farmhouse in 1815. At this time, he owned  of land north of the village of Urbana; there he established his farm under the name of "Nutwood Place," where he lived until his 1822 death.

Commercial hatter Absalom Jennings of New York City bought the farm in 1856, but he waited three years before taking up residence there. Here he remained for the rest of his life, breeding horses and cattle. Under his direction, the brick round barn was erected in 1861.

In 1976, Nutwood Place was added to the National Register of Historic Places because of its well-preserved historic architecture. It is one of eight places listed on the National Register in Urbana.

Addressing inequality
Ashikur Rahman
23rd Jan 2018
Inequality has emerged as one of the most contentious topics over the last one decade. It has not only found centre stage in bitter political debates and academic discourses, the extreme inequality that currently prevails in advanced industrial societies has raised many question regarding the degree of real influence average citizens have in shaping laws and policies. After all, if mature democracies are designed to ensure that the interests of the few do not undermine the wellbeing of the many, then how did we allow economic and political institutions to concentrate wealth to such an extent?
In terms of magnitude, just to offer a glimpse, the recently published Federal Reserve Report notes that the top 1 percent in the US now controls 38.6 percent of the country's wealth in 2017, much larger than the wealth share of its bottom 90 percent. In India, the difference is even starker as the richest 1% in the country now own 58.4 percent of the country's wealth, according to Credit Suisse Group AG. Even at the global level, an Oxfam's report notes that the richest 1 percent of the population has owned more than the bottom 99 percent since 2015. Thus, upon reflecting on such unpleasant developments, it is only natural for a curious and concerned mind to question how such a degree of extreme inequality endures in the modern era. More importantly, is such inequality harmful for the global economic and social progress?
The short answer to the latter questions is: yes. As wealth become increasingly concentrated in few hands, it is only natural that the aggregate demand within nations weaken as the marginal propensity of consumption of the extreme rich has historically been low. This also motivates the rich to invest their income and wealth not in producing actual goods and services by establishing factories or hotels, which average people consumes, but rather in volatile assets where speculation dictates if one enjoys a boom or bust. Thus, Wall Street, the London Stock Exchange and many of its contemporary avenues across industrialised countries become the natural parking spot of such wealth, creating and widening the fault-lines of a more vulnerable and fractured global economic plane. As a result, the global financial crisis of 2008 is not a one-off incident. Rather, if the present degree of inequality endures, then the future global economic outlook is bound to encounter few more such crashes before we harness a genuine interest to address one of its core structural determinants: inequality.
Of course, this rather depressing concern takes me to the first question: why are we failing to address such extreme inequality in the first place? I believe the answer to this question deserves an examination of not only the nature of the economic and political institutions that dominate how policy decisions are made within nations, but also a need to scrutinise how humans, as an animal, think. Being precise, there is a genuine concern across a large pool of public thinkers that modern democratic institutions within advanced industrialised societies are facing major issues.
In other words, at least after the Second World War, the representative political order – i.e. a system of governance in which elections are used to decide who governs – that gained prominence across almost all industrialised states was no longer overthrown by coup d'états or political forces who challenged its legitimacy. Yet, what happened was a slow dilution of policy preference of the masses because economic elites learned the art of using their wealth to build inroads within the decision-making process of such political arenas. Plainly speaking, the budget for pro-people issues such a health care, education or affordable housing soon noticed stagnation while paychecks to finance wars never ran out. The rich have also theoretically convinced a large segment of policymakers that reducing their tax burden will significantly aid prosperity for all – a position that almost has no empirical validation.
But the capture of policy space within mature democracies is only a part of the story. We must also reflect on another question: do we as a human being have such tolerance for inequality because at the subconscious level we have developed a tolerance for it? This is possible given human beings as a biological entity have literally learned to live within social settings that breed and sustain inequality since the Agricultural Revolution – i.e. for roughly 12000 years. This tolerance is also reflected in everyday political rhetoric where it is popularly championed that, 'the American dream is if you work hard and give your best, then one day you can rise to the top'. Yet, what is rarely questioned in such societies is whether what separates the 'top' from the 'bottom' are glass ceilings that are created and sustained by the elites to ensure that whoever reaches the top (or born in it) stays at the top, even if they don't play by the socially admired rules of hard-work and honesty.
This also brings me to the final set of questions: if the pillars that sustain extreme inequality within countries are so strong and have endured for thousands of years, then is there a pragmatic solution for the problem? Can our generation have any real scope to address its adverse impact on the society? The answer is yes, but we have to accept that while the problem we witness has taken this extreme form after evolving for thousands of years, undoing it will also take a while. And there is nothing wrong in it.
After all, the societies we presently experience were formed when each new set of progressive ideas added on to the previous ones over generations.
Hence, brick by brick we have to advocate social reforms that not only compels the rich to pay their fair share in the national exchequers across countries, the informed citizenry across the world has to advocate institutional reform that prohibits policy capture by groups with whom economic wealth is concentrated. Moreover, for having a real shot in mitigating the problem of inequality, a critical mass of informed citizenry must find the necessary devotion to fight institutional attributes within polities that breeds inequality. History is unanimous that exploitative institutions – be it slavery or women's lack of right to vote – only crumble when a critical mass of people rejected its legitimacy. Thus, the fight against exploitative inequality needs such resolve. However, whether the current generation of liberals across political space will find it a worthy cause is a different enquiry altogether.

A Brief History on How The Cannabis Stigmas Began
Posted on April 2, 2019 October 29, 2019 by Brandon Nolte
Hallucinogenic drugs have been used for actual millennia, dating back to prehistory. While they have roots in spiritual and religious ceremony, prehistoric communities were just as likely to use these drugs for recreational or medicinal purposes. One of the most common of these drugs is cannabis, but the stigmas surrounding cannabis have been harsher than others. Much of the cannabis stigma is surprisingly modern, a result of Prohibition, the War on Drugs, and the structural and institutional racism that defined both of those movements.
Cannabis is a plant genus comprising a wide range of different species, but today, most people know mainly about hemp and marijuana. By all respects, these are plants like any other, but over the years, cannabis has gained a wide reputation, a stigma that has grown and evolved and remains in a strange space even today. This stigma is rooted in racism and has been driven by prohibition and the war on drugs.
Thankfully, new laws and open minds are beginning to change this stigma. You can learn more about this change from the study we conducted to see just how much attitudes towards cannabis have changed. For now, let's take a look at the history of cannabis and how the stigmas began.
The Root of the Cannabis Stigma
To understand the root of the stigmas against cannabis, it's important to look at the words we now use for it. The most popular words for cannabis—dope, reefer, marijuana—have roots in African-American, Caribbean, and Mexican-Spanish slang. Early opponents of cannabis specifically referred to the drug as "marijuana" to emphasize the "Mexican-ness" (and by proxy, the otherness) of the drug.
Before the 1960s, weed was very much considered a drug for people of color. All of this fed into the racist fears and stereotypes that eventually led to the drug becoming illegal in the 1930s with the passage of the Marijuana Tax Act of 1937, passed by prohibitionist Harry Anslinger, who was leading the federal agency that would eventually become today's Drug Enforcement Agency, which led directly to President Nixon's war on drugs in 1971.
Stigmas surrounding cannabis focused on its distinct otherness. Its effects became associated with madness and violence, and its roots in oriental and indigenous medicine were in direct contrast to the push for modernity and development. It was a drug for the lower class, associated with debauchery and crime. These misguided associations eventually turned into misinformed causations: using cannabis not only caused violence, it could turn you into a criminal, a social delinquent, anything but a normal contributing member of a capitalist society. That stigma, that deeply human concept of not fitting in, continues to today. Cannabis still has its associations with crime, bad grades, and general social failures, which have only been supported by false studies and misinformation.
Early Marijuana Usage
Marijuana use dates as far back as 4000 B.C. in Ancient China, where it was used as a pain reliever, sedative, anesthetic, and antidepressant. Ancient Egyptian and Indian texts also show evidence of cannabis used as medicine. Prior to the spread and dominance of Christianity, cannabis was believed to provide antibiotic, hypnotic, and anticonvulsant properties.
While the cultivation of cannabis started in Ancient Asia, it eventually spread to parts of Europe as an agricultural crop. This crop expansion eventually made its way to the Americas, though stories about how it actually traveled overseas remain spotty at best. Some claim that Christopher Columbus himself brought cannabis with him in 1492. Most say that cannabis as we know it actually derived from hemp plantations in the 17th century. The predominant understanding is that cannabis was brought to Mexico via Pedro Quadrado, a conquistador, in 1550. At this point, cannabis plants were considered a strong fiber, used as hemp to create ropes, clothing, and a variety of other products.
However, it's unlikely that people saw hemp, which is naturally low in THC, as something that they could get high off. Cannabis as a narcotic drug made it to the New World by the British, who took it to Jamaica, and by the Portuguese, who took it to Brazil. In both cases, cannabis was likely used as a tool for pacifying slaves.
Mexico and the U.S.
By the late 19th century, cannabis was readily included in a variety of tinctures, tonics, cough syrups, and other medicines. Evidence suggests at least 2,000 different cannabis medicines produced by more than 280 manufacturers by 1937. Hemp crops were grown in the original colonies, becoming an important part of the economy by the mid-1600s and providing fiber for clothing, canvas, and paper. These crops spread along the East Coast, eventually making their way to the Midwest. By the late 1800s, Missouri, Illinois, and Kentucky became the most prominent producers of hemp in the country.
However, smokable cannabis was introduced to the United States in the early 20th century. Around 1910, shortly after the beginning of the Mexican Revolution, refugees of the revolution sought sanctuary from the violence as they crossed the border, bringing cannabis with them into the southwestern United States. This was particularly focused in Texas, which is where the drug faced its first backlash. In fact, El Paso was the first city to actually pass an ordinance denouncing cannabis in 1914.
Prohibition and the War on Drugs
When the prohibition ended in 1933, Henry Anslinger, the head of a federal agency that would eventually become the Drug Enforcement Agency, panicked as he would be without a job. He immediately turned his attention from alcohol to marijuana, an easy target with the growing anti-Mexican, anti-black sentiment. By 1937, Anslinger drafted and introduced the Marihuana Tax Act, which essentially made marijuana illegal using evidence rooted in stereotypes and hearsay.
This act was supported heavily by the Reefer Madness campaign, which was punctuated by an anti-cannabis propaganda film known as Reefer Madness. Released in 1936, the year before the Marihuana Tax Act was passed, this film depicted teens smoking weed for the first time, which sets in motion a series of events resulting in hallucinations, murder, and attempted rape. This became the foundation for modern societal stigmas surrounding cannabis as well as future anti-marijuana legislation.
In 1952, D.C. passed the Boggs Act, which essentially created mandatory minimums for drug convictions, including marijuana. A first offense for simply owning marijuana could result in a $2,000 fine and two to five years in prison. This was later exacerbated by the Anti-Drug Abuse Act of 1986, which was signed into law by Ronald Reagan and, among other things, lengthened mandatory minimum sentences.
The legislation against marijuana was further compounded by Richard Nixon's war on drugs in the 1970s. During this time, the Controlled Substances Act was categorized as a schedule 1 drug along with LSD and heroin. This categorization came about entirely from Nixon's hatred of cannabis and its counterculture, as opposed to any scientific, medical, or legal evidence.
It's important to understand that the stigma came from racism, and the legislation prohibiting marijuana was a result of powerful men acting on that racism, which has continued to have a profound impact on communities of color, spurred in part by mandatory sentencing laws. A 2010 report from the ACLU showed that black people were 3.7 times more likely to be arrested for marijuana possession, despite marijuana possession being roughly equal among all races and ethnicities. More recent data found that black and Hispanic residents in New York City were consistently more likely to get arrested for marijuana use or possession than their white neighbors. In Manhattan alone, black people were 15 times more likely to be arrested for marijuana than white residents. Again, marijuana usage and possession are roughly even amongst all races and ethnicities.
Thankfully, some states are expunging prior cannabis convictions. This can go a long way to shifting the stigma and hopefully giving a new life to those who have been punished the harshest for deeply outdated and unfounded laws from decades ago. Our recent study shows that most people are changing their attitude toward cannabis, which can lead to real change and a chance to fully research and understand just how cannabis could help us in our day-to-day lives. However, there's still more work to be done.
