10 Characters With Sardinia In The Heart 0 Comments

10 Characters With Sardinia In The Heart

They were born in Sardinia, or they came to be acquainted with the island later on. However, they tied their existence to Sardinia, making it become an important part of their soul. The mythical heroism and wisdom of Eleonora and Giolzia, the two Nobel Prizes of Grazia and Guglielmo, the art of Annarita, Maria, Pinuccio and Enrico, the photographic lens of Marianne and the splendid vision, realized later on, of Karim . Exciting stories of 10 characters with Sardinia in their heart.

  1. Annarita Serra: turning trash plastic into art pieces  - Annarita, the Sardinian artist who transforms plastic waste into works of art, creates her compositions by taking from the sea of Sardinia everything that returns to the beach: coins, plastic caps, PC keys, q-tips, coffee capsules, broken jewelry, metal covers, flip flops, broken toys, dolls' legs and arms, toy cars ...
  2. Eleanor of Arborea  - History and legend tell us of an exceptional woman: Eleonora, Judge of Arborea. Being ahead of times, a precursor, anticipated the rule of law with a civil and criminal code, the new "Carta de Logu" which, with its 198 chapters, is considered "the greatest legislative monument of medieval Sardinia".
  3. Giolzia the Warrior Princess - Between history and epic, here is the fascinating story of this feminine  Sardinian legend: Giolzia. Still young, she was sent by her family to a village near Monte Acuto and that land became her new home. Giolzia took care of the family possessions, looked after the flocks in the pastures, in the shearing, delivered the wool to the village women who spun and weaved it. She managed the finances of the kingdom by using the revenue for necessary works and improvements. She led her troops against Ubaldo of Gallura and took him prisoner.
  4. A Sardinian Nobel Prized Author: Grazia Deledda - "I am small, you know, I am small even in comparison to Sardinian women who are very small, but I am bold and brave like a giant and I do not fear intellectual battles." A small but immense woman. At 55, in 1926 in Stockholm, she received the Nobel Prize for literature, where she gave an unforgettable speech of thanks for the prize received.
  5. Guglielmo Marconi in Sardinia - By installing a radio system on the promontory of Capo Figari oriented towards an identical system installed in Rocca di Papa on the Lazio coast, Guglielmo Marconi led the transmission experiment, managing to connecting with the same equipment located on the other side of the Tyrrhenian Sea.
  6. Maria Lai & the art of threads - She wanted to mend the world with the woven art of her threads ... an image that brings back to Ariadne's thread, to Penelope who spun, but above all to the magic of the Janas, the benevolent fairies of Sardinian folklore who spent time weaving the thread with a golden loom in the Domus de Janas
  7. Marianne Sin Pfältzer: open-air gallery in Golfo Aranci - She  was not Sardinian but chose Sardinia as her second home, where  she found her own dimension. Her choice of an archaic and ancestral refuge. A selection of her most beautiful and significant photographs, mostly in black and white, are now a permanent urban exhibition in the old village of Golfo Aranci, telling the fishermen’s community history.
  8. Pinuccio Sciola: Sardinian Sculptor and Muralist - Talking about the sculptor and musician Pinuccio Sciola is like telling a story of magical wonder. Sciola, the only sculptor who managed to make the stones sing, was a wonderful Sardinia and Sardinian culture testimonial in the western world. He claimed to have been born from a stone, from which he extracted his song.
  9. Karim Aga Khan and The Emerald Coast - In love with the beauty of the north-east coast of Sardinia, in 1960 he transformed Monti di Mola into "La Costa Smeralda". He captured the soul of the island and proudly made it known throughout the world, developing it touristically by designing the style of the Costa Smeralda with the use of local Gallura materials, such as granite and wood.
  10. Enrico Mereu, Sculptor Of Asinara - Decontamination, isolation, rare plant and animal species, were all sources of inspiration for the only inhabitant of the Asinara island, Enrico Mereu, sculptor of the sea wood. «In almost 40 years - he says - I have never cut a tree. I walk between the beaches and use wood that comes from Sardinia, Corsica or Spain» he is proudly stating.

VIPD patrol car. (Linda Morland photo)

A 25-year-old St. Croix man made an appearance before a magistrate judge in Superior Court Monday, following his arrest on Friday for allegedly taking two Health Department vehicles without permission. Court documents filed by the arresting officer said the defendant told him he was trying to obtain a job application at the time the two vehicles came into his possession.

Two white Jeep Wranglers operated by the Communicable Disease program were reported missing Friday afternoon, but police spokesman Toby Derima said it didn’t take long for police to locate the vehicles.

a Health Department official from the Charles Harwood Medical Clinic told police arriving on the scene that both were equipped with Global Positioning System devices. An official at Property and Procurement knew how to use the GPS devices to track down the missing vehicles, court documents said.

The Health officials who summoned police also said they did not give anyone permission to take the vehicles out of the parking area.

Those documents became part of the record submitted to Superior Court Magistrate Miguel Camacho for the Monday court appearance for defendant Jeremy Allen, 25. Allen was arrested on Friday, shortly after he was allegedly seen getting into one of the vehicles, parked outside of a convenience store at 5 Corners.

The second vehicle was found parked near the home Allen shared with a relative in Peter’s Rest.

Allen was charged with two counts of unauthorized use of a vehicle and possession of stolen property. Health Commissioner Justa Encarnacion said in a statement she was relieved that the matter was quickly resolved.

The two 2020 Jeep Wranglers had been assigned to the Communicable Disease to help in the local management of the Covid-19 outbreak. Encarnacion said they were used to conduct public outreach and in some cases, to transport patients.

When the suspect was questioned about the motive for taking two vehicles from Harwood Clinic, court documents included Allen’s explanation. He allegedly told police he needed the vehicle to pick up a job application. When the first one, which he took at night, got a flat tire, Allen said he went back and took another, using keys he found in the glove compartment of the vehicle he drove home.

Authorities also questioned the second occupant of Allen’s residence. In an affidavit filed by the arresting officer, the individual said they were told the strange vehicle parked by the house was brought over to help Allen report for work. The suspect later asked the co-habitant to drop him off by Charles Harwood clinic.

To cloth or not to cloth?

Cloth nappies, cloth nappies pros and cons, cloth nappy blog

Cloth nappies have had quite the overhaul in recent years: Raggedy fabrics and safety pins are out and beautiful prints with modern fastenings are in! Using cloth nappies needn't be a complete swap from disposables either as many people use a combination of cloth and disposable nappies and find that part time cloth is what works for them. Still thinking about using cloth nappies? Here are some of the pros and cons and figure out if they’re the right fit for your family.

The Environment
They’re reusable meaning a huge reduction in nappies going to landfill where it's estimated they can take anywhere between 250 and 500 years to decompose.  Even just replacing one disposable nappy per day will save on average of 700 nappies going to landfill per child.  Other environmental benefits will depend on how many cloth nappies you choose to buy and where they are manufactured to determine the full environmental benefit eg buying second hand is a lot more environmentally friendly than buying new. But on the whole even factoring in manufacture and washing costs cloth nappies are considered much more environmentally friendly than disposables.

Avoids Chemicals
Disposable nappies contain chemicals which many mums prefer to avoid and can irritate a baby's bottom.

It's estimated that the cost of using disposable nappies varies from £210-£450 per year depending on brand and number of changes per day. As most children don’t potty train until at least 2 years old the cost of disposables really adds up. Cloth nappy costs also depend on the type of nappy you choose and the brand. Although it can be considered expensive to start, the savings over two years can be anywhere between £80-£700. Plus cloth nappies can be used for more than one child so if you reuse your cloth nappy stash with future babies it won't cost you any more other than washing costs.  Cloth nappies also hold their value incredibly well for reselling after you've finished so many people make a good chunk of their initial investment back at the end of their cloth nappy journey.

Never running out!
Ok, so you may run out of clean cloth nappies if you're not on top of your washing but switching to cloth should mean mo more panicked trips to collect emergency nappies and no more nappies taking up valuable space in your shopping trolley.

Potential for easier and earlier potty training
Cloth diapers are thought to promote early potty training because your baby can actually feel the wetness against their skin. Disposables are so good at whickimg moisture away from baby that children can take longer to realise when they're going for a wee thus often making potty training a little harder.

Solid waste gets flushed down the toilet
Breastfed poos can be washed out in the washing machine and post weaning poos can be emptied into the loo and flushed immediately. So no more poos sitting in your bin and festering on those hot summer days!

Less nappy rash
Cloth nappies are made of natural breathable fibers which allow air to circulate around baby's bottom therefore reducing the likelihood of nappy rash.

They look beautiful!
There really is a whole world of beautiful cloth nappies available for your little one. From colourful prints to solid colours there really is something for everyone!

High upfront cost
You'll pay for most of your nappies early on in your baby's life rather than spreading the cost through their whole nappy journey as you would with disposables so you will have to pay out more in the beginnning.

They need to be clean and dry for you to use so you need to be a bit more organised to ensure you have them ready for your little one.  Plus if you run out when out and about you can't always find them in shops as readily as you would disposables.

It can take time to find the right fit for your child and the right style that works for your lifestyle, although this is often also the case when using disposables.  You will probably want to research the different types available and experiment with a few different brands before investing too heavily in one brand or style.  Local nappy librarys can help a great deal with this but can be dependent on the area you live in.

Extra washing
Most people wash their nappies every 2-3 days to ensure they have fresh nappies available which does mean extra loads in the washing machine which can be more challenging especially if you're reliant on a laundromat rather than having your own machine or struggle for space for things to dry in colder months.

Greater chance of leaks
Cloth nappies aren’t as absorbent as their disposable counterparts, making them more prone to leaks. You’ll have to make sure you have the right kind and number of insert(s) to accommodate your wetter. You’ll also need to make sure you have a proper fit, with no gaps around your baby’s legs or very soon you could be spotting wet patches on your little one.

You have to clean poo off them
Yes, cloth nappies require you clean the poo off of them before washing if your baby has been weaned onto solids so theyre not for the very squeemish or poo averse. (Realistically though many mums become quite desensitised to poo after having a baby and don't find this a huge drawback!)

They can look more bulky
Cloth nappies tend to be bigger so you might find certain styles of clothes (such as skinny jeans) more challenging to wear.

Spriraling costs
With all the beautiful prints available like anything some people can become addicted to buying the newest print or style to match to baby's wardrobe or for special occasions. This can mean you end up spending much more than you really need to.

Vic Mensa sat down with The Intercepted podcast to speak his piece on the impact of oppression around the Globe, beginning in his own background of Chicago. The broadcast, recorded at The Intercepted studios in NYC, was transcribed to fit the following Editorial format.

Investigative journalist Jeremy Scahill begins his introduction of Mensa (to his familiar audience) by listing off his record of advocacy in the trenches: calling out bait-trucks, donating to and establishing community outreach programs, and leaving the boundaries of his home state to stand with the citizens of Flint, Michigan, during their ongoing water crisis. Scahill doesn't wince at the idea of labeling Mensa a "revolutionary rapper," and neither should you, at least in the modern sense of the word(s).

On the topic of Chicago, both Scahill and Mensa couldn't avoid addressing Donald Trump's political rhetoric concerning the issue of gun violence in the city. The host used the president as a segue to-and-fro the next subject line of Gun Violence in America: "Donald Trump, of course, loves to talk about your home city of Chicago," he stated.

"With Chicago?," Mensa responded quizzically. "Yeah, obviously, it’s racially motivated and you know, what’s so funny about it, this is the American way is revisionist history." Mensa attributed the same notion of "revisionist history" when he and Scahill spoke about the Israeli occupation of Palestine.

"So, what they’ve done is that they’ve taken the most effective elements from different oppressive structures, from American Jim Crow vibes to Apartheid," Mensa explained. "And they’ve made their.. concocted their own, you know, 21st-century version (of apartheid in America)."

Mensa explains the parallel between apartheid in Middle-East and Oppression in America with a few discernible examples, namely the double-standard of policing in the occupied territory, and how it relates to Black lives in America.

"Seeing things like that is crazy, you know, seeing that, learning that Palestinian kids in Jerusalem can get a mandatory minimum sentence for throwing stones. For throwing stones," he added. "And then you see five minutes later, a Jewish person walkthrough with an open carry M16, flip-flops, and a yarmulke."

You may not always like Vic Mensa's harsh tone or judgment on certain issues, but hear him out. Hear him out before you throw the book at him. The rest of the "The Intercepted" interview can be viewed here. Vic Mensa is the rare embodiment of a Global mindset, rooted in the culture of his home city.

COVID-19 HouseCheck’s Response to this Disease

covid 19 4921924 1920

South Africa declared state of disaster to deal with viral threat

President Ramapohosa on Sunday 16 March 2020 declared South Africa in a national state of disaster. He called on all citizens to unite to fight the threat of this virus which could have a devastating affect on our economy and our nations health.

HouseCheck wishes to inform all stakeholders of our response to this human tragedy.

HouseCheck cares

  1. HouseCheck operates on a decentralised basis with franchisees, territory managers and inspectors based at various locations around the country. As a result we do not have centralised offices and rarely have face to face meetings unless it is critical. Our internal communication is via electronic means such as email, telephone and  internet based systems such as SKYPE and
  2. All our operational systems are IT/server based and there is no need for physical human contact when integrating with them.
  3. When inspectors do inspections of houses/sites, they will no longer shake hands with clients, buyers, sellers or property practitioners as part of our efforts to mitigate against the spreading of COVID-19.
  4. Inspectors have also been made aware that where they come face to face with clients, buyers, sellers or estate agents at inspection sites, that they attempt to keep a distance of at least 2m at all times between themselves and other humans to prevent contracting or spreading COVID-19.
  5. Inspectors have also been requested to keep hand sanitisers as part of their tool kits when inspecting sites. They sanitise their hands before commencing with an inspection and immediately afterwards.
  6. Inspectors have been instructed to treat all home surfaces as potential COVID-19 infected areas and will wear disposable gloves on site as inspections do require the touching of surfaces. This is inline with the WHO standard practice.

These measures have bene put in place to protect your and our inspectors health. We need to make a concerted effort to minimise the spread of this disease.

At the Wilton Public Schools, summer learning is part of an extended year program for students who receive special education services for students ages 3 to 21.

Summer Learning is Part of an Extended Year ProgramCamp All About Me is designed as an integrated program, as the classroom combines peers with children who have special needs, says program instructor Bernadette Hess, the preschool coordinator of Wilton Public Schools.

“So we have the support of speech and language pathologists, psychologists, OTs, PTs, and as a team, where there are dual-certified teachers in special ed and preschool, we are able to meet the needs of all the kids,” Hess said. “And the kids are working really hard and having a lot of fun,” she added.

According to Deb Meyers, one of two paraprofessionals at the preschool camp, the integrated structure is the key to success.

“The program is fantastic. It takes me over an hour to get here and over an hour to get home, and it’s worth it,” said Meyers. “It’s the whole team together for each individual child, and that’s what works.”

The major goals of the camp are to help children maintain skills during the summer, and to have fun.  Usually students take three to four weeks to get back to their progress level from the previous June. If students do not have any learning opportunities during the summer, that time can almost double.

River Wye

River Wye

A troll terrorized those hoping to cross this river, until it was killed by Almerick Sawbridge in the 1600s (FW). The Wye River is in western England, and in fact forms part of the border between England and Wales. The river may also be the lair of the infamous Wyvern of Wye, battled famously by Sir Cadogan (Pm).

The Wye River forms the border between Wales and England near where it flows into the Severn River. This part of the border also separates Chepstowfrom Tutshill, where Rowling lived for some years starting in 1974. In the 1600s, according to a Famous Wizard card, a troll terrorized travellers crossing the Wye River; the troll was eventually defeated by Almerick Sawbridge (FW). While Rowling does not give the exact location of this troll-infested crossing, she might very well be thinking of the stretch of river near where she grew up.

How To Effectively Protect Your Tax After Age 60 Through A Superannuation Re-Contribution Strategy
15 December 2020

You would be forgiven for thinking there will never be tax on your retirement pensions after age 60, but this is far from guaranteed (especially for any non-spousal beneficiaries in your estate planning).

“Re-contribution” is a strategy whereby you withdraw a large Lump Sum from heavily weighted ‘Taxable’ component in your existing super/ pension balance and contribute back to super as a ‘Tax Free’ component. The criteria for qualifying for this strategy are quite stringent and as such is not available to all. It is particularly relevant but not exclusive to young retirees (58 to 65) and older retirees (over age 65) who still satisfy the work test.

This has the effect of reducing ‘taxable’ components associated with your previous ‘concessional’ based contributions and will ultimately increase the tax effectiveness (including estate planning) of your super and/or pension accounts.

This provides three levels of potential long term tax protection:

  • Under Age 60 – If you are starting a Pension before age 60, it will reduce the tax assessable amount of your pension.
  • Over Age 60 – Increases protection against potential legislation changes – should the government (current or future) introduce a tax on pension incomes for the ‘taxable’ component as currently is the case for persons under age 60.
  • Death Benefits – In the event your Superannuation assets are left to tax non-dependants (e.g. adult children), it will reduce the taxation impact.    Currently ‘non-tax dependants’ are subject to 15% tax + Medicare Levy on the ‘Taxable Component’.

  • If using the 3 year provision, it may preclude you from further contributions from the sale of other assets or windfall gains such as an inheritance. In some cases you may be better served by keeping the 3 year provision up your sleeve to allow NEW funds to be transferred into your super.
  • There may be some cost involved in implementing the strategy.

Example Of Savings To Your Estate Beneficiaries

The Ultimate Beneficiary

If your spouse is your nominated beneficiary, they are considered a ‘tax dependant’ and will not be subject to taxation regardless of the components (under current legislation).  It is also quite likely (especially if you are already retired) that your spouse would elect to keep the monies in Super or Pension for the long term tax benefits and thus the “Taxable Components live on.

This means a surviving spouse would then nominate new beneficiaries. Ultimately your eventual beneficiary is more likely to be a ‘non-tax dependant’ (for example adult children or some other relative or friend or charity), which means that eventually, tax will apply to your taxable Component (one day). However, should you and/or your spouse enjoy a long and healthy retirement and utilise all of the funds or withdraw them before both of you have passed, there is no tax issue for your estate planning.

Example of Tax

A $300,000 super/pension balance with 80% of that ($240,000) classified as a taxable component would result in tax (in the hands of a non-tax dependant) of $40,800 (15% + Medicare levy 2%).

However if withdrawn and Re contributed (using the 3-year provisions) under a re-contribution strategy, this would then reclassify the $240,000 as ‘tax-Free’ saving your long-term beneficiaries that tax of $40,800.

If you qualified for only a $100,000 (1 year) contribution then you could still alter the tax-free amount for $100,000 x 80% ($80,000) and thus potential tax saving of $13,600  (17%) for your long term Beneficiaries.

So Do You Qualify to Implement this Strategy?

Sounds simple but there are several criteria to be met to qualify for this strategy to be available and beneficial (tax wise).

Criteria 1  –  Preservation Release

The main condition is accessing your Super/Pension to effect a withdrawal.  For this we need to refer to the preservation components of which there are 3 classifications:

Unrestricted non-preserved – which are fully accessible;

Restricted non-preserved  – which can be accessed if you have terminated employment with an employer who has contributed to that fund.

Preserved – which can only be reclassified as Unrestricted non-preserved and accessed if you meet one of the three conditions of release – listed as follows :

  • You are Age 65 or older; or
  • Aged 60 to 64 and have ceased a gainful employment arrangement since turning 60; or
  • You are aged between preservation age and age 64 and have permanently retired and do not intend to ever work again 10 hours or more per week.   This option requires that you have previously terminated some form of employment in your life (at any age).

Criteria 2  –  Tax Considerations

Age 60 or above

No tax is payable on Lump Sum withdrawals and therefore no limit on the amount you can withdraw from Super tax free.

Under age 60, tax is applicable

There is a ‘Low Rate Cap’ allowing some tax free access.  The first $215,000 taken as a Lump Sum from the ‘taxable component’ of Superannuation (before age 60) is tax free if taken from a ‘Taxed element’. Anything above this level is taxed at 15%.  This is a lifetime limit and therefore would include any previous lump sum payouts from super in your lifetime (that would also form part of this $215,000 limit).

Caution: Please note that Pension payments are not included in the ‘Low rate Cap’ and are treated very differently to Lump Sum payments for tax purposes. If withdrawing from Super or Pension under the age of 60, this needs to be carefully managed.  Once you have exhausted the ‘Low Rate Cap’ of LUMP SUM withdrawals, the taxation impact will start to outweigh the advantages of this strategy.

WARNING: If you have an “Untaxed Element’ there is no tax-free level and you will be taxed between 15% and 45% depending upon the level of your withdrawal making this strategy unviable.

Criteria 3 – Contribution Limitations (Non-Concessional)

An essential part of this strategy is to be able to contribute the funds back into super via personal non-concessional contributions.

These are personal after-tax contributions.  There is no contributions tax applied to non-concessional contributions. The maximum amount for this category is $100,000 for this financial year (2020/21)

Caution if Over Age 67  – You cannot make a contribution unless you have satisfied the Work Test of working 40 hours within a 30 day period prior to making the contribution.

Bring forward provision:  $300,000 over 3 years

A three year aggregation rule applies (under age 65 only) to allow you to contribute above the annual amount.

  • Persons under age 65  at any time during the financial year may effectively bring forward two years worth of non-concessional contributions, allowing them to contribute up to $300,000 in one transaction. This would of course mean you would not be able to contribute to super again for the following two years.

Tip: You can make the re-contribution to your spouse or yourself or a combination of both which may provide other benefits such as a leveling of balances between you.  At maximum effectiveness, this strategy  allows a couple up to $600,000 (combined) to be re-contributed if both spouses qualify under Criteria 3 (inclusive of the 3 years bring forward provision).

If you do breach the non-concessional Cap then you will be liable to pay the maximum tax of up to 47% (including Medicare Levy/surcharge) on the excess contribution. This is a significant penalty.

Therefore if you are utilising the 3 Year rule, it is imperative that your check (with the ATO and your Super funds) that:

  1. You have no other payments to super funds or insurance companies that could count as a non-concessional contribution this financial year 2020/21 and thus counting towards the 3 year Cap of $300,000.
  2. You have not previously triggered the 3 year bring forward provision by contributing more than $100,000  (previous Contribution Limit) to super in your name in the financial years  2018/19 or 2019/20.
  3. You have not breached your ‘Concessional Cap’ in this year or the previous two years, as any excess will be allocated as ‘non-concessional contributions.

If unsure it can be a good idea to leave some space and contribute only $95,000 or $290,000 (if using the 3 year rule), to allow for some room for error in your calculations, better still consult with the ATO, your super fund and your adviser.

ATO Contact  Phone Number designated for this purpose is 131020

Window of opportunity

The combination of the 3 criteria for this strategy usually results in a limited window of opportunity  to be put to maximum effect  (using the 3 year rule).  For example if you are still working at age 65,  (and have not previously met a condition of release), your opportunity to recontribute is limited to the time between your 65th birthday and the next 30 June.

This strategy can provide significant tax sheltering for your estate planning where the ultimate beneficiaries (past beyond the death of both you and your spouse) are going to be a nontax dependant’ such as adult children.

This strategy is complex and will have some form of cost and also with potentially significant tax penalties should you falter and should not be attempted without consulting your adviser.

TEK and the Return of Wolves, Fire, and Bison

Traditional Ecological Knowledge (TEK) is the wisdom indigenous and local people acquire by living on the earth. Rooted in a specific landscape and based on the fact that everything is connected, TEK braids together relationships between plants, animals, the earth, the seasons, and people. At its heart lies the concept that human and non-human components of the natural world are inseparable. Additionally, TEK links ecology to spirituality and cultural values.

Tipi Waterton Lakes National Park

A TEK worldview contrasts sharply with the command-and-control approach to the natural world Euro-American settlers brought to North America in the 1600s. In response to the wave of extinction they caused, in the late 1800s US and Canadian leaders created the North American Model of wildlife and forest management. This model was forged by Theodore Roosevelt, who thought nature needed to be conserved by man for our benefit and use, and Gifford Pinchot, the first chief of the US Forest Service, who saw natural resources, be they forests or deer, as crops to be produced and harvested sustainably.

Bison Skulls, Circa 1880

Roosevelt's and Pinchot's well-intentioned ideas about natural resources created other problems that we're working to fix today. For example, they believed that anything that interfered with top-down management, such as wolves and fire, were inconveniences to be eliminated. Under a Pinchovian regime, they swiftly were.

In the middle of the last century we learned some hard lessons. Ecologists Charles Elton and Aldo Leopold discovered that wolves and fire have essential roles in keeping ecosystems healthy. Rachel Carson found that everything is connected and that how we managed rivers, croplands, and forests had created a lethally toxic wasteland. Consequently, we began to listen to Native Americans and First Nations who for thousands of years had inhabited this continent freely with millions of migratory bison and several hundred thousand wolves, and who set fires to invigorate prairies.

In 2006 as a new PhD student, I began working on a transboundary research project in the Crown of the Continent Ecosystem in two national Parks: Glacier National Park in Montana, and Waterton Lakes National Park in Alberta. I wanted to know how wolves interact with fire to influence aspen ecology. Six years later, when I completed my PhD, I'd learned that wolves need fire to control elk in this ecosystem.

Fire, which causes trees to topple and aspens and shrubs to sprout madly, gives wolves a hunting advantage. In this prairie-aspen landscape, elk chased by wolves hit fire sites and stumble over downed, fire-killed trees and new sprouts. Where there are wolves, to stay alive elk must avoid severely-burned places. This gives aspens and shrubs a break, enabling them to grow above the reach of hungry elk. Lacking wolves, complacent elk browse post-fire sprouts to death. Relationships in which an apex predator (such as the wolf) directly affects prey behavior and indirectly benefits plant communities are called trophic cascades.

Since 2008, thanks to Waterton natural resources officers and Parks Canada funding and logistical support, my colleagues and I have been studying two fires: the 2008 and 2015 Y-Camp Prescribed Fires, which burned 1,200 hectares twice, and the 2014 Red Rock Complex Prescribed Fire, which burned 2,300 hectares. These sites contain a very high elk density and two wolf packs. Managers' main objective is to restore the prairie in the burn units. To that end, we're investigating whether two key ecological forces historically present in this system (fire and wolves) without a third (bison) can return this fescue grassland to pre-Euro-American settlement conditions.

In 2013, Narcisse Blood, a leader in the Kainai First Nation (the Blood Tribe, part of the Blackfoot Confederacy), contacted me on facebook, curious about trophic cascades. Six months later, when the fireweed was in bloom and the elk were bugling, he and his wife Alvine Mountainhorse came to the Waterton research house for supper. Over homemade pizza topped with meat from an elk I'd hunted, we traded wolf stories for hours. Narcisse explained to me and my field crew that our study site lies at the feet of Chief Mountain, which is sacred to the Kainai. Alvine taught us the Kainai word for wolf: ómahkapi'si.

We stayed in touch across the wheel of the seasons. In 2014 and 2015, Kainai conservation biologist Kansie Fox, her natural resources technicians, and anthropologist Kurt Lanno joined us afield. We continued the conversation begun by Narcisse, who died tragically last year in a car accident.

Narcisse Blood

As a result of walking this prairie together and exchanging ideas and stories, we've developed a partnership. With generous funding from the Kainai Board of Education, the AGL Foundation, Whitefish Community Foundation, Earthwatch Institute, and private donors, in summer 2016 we're initiating the Kainai First Nation Community Fellows Program. Kainai high school students, teachers, and community members will join us to learn to measure fire and wolf effects in this ecosystem. We'll share TEK and ecology as we discuss wolves and fire. We'll talk about the role of bison. And together we'll discover ways to honor this landscape and keep it as healthy, connected, and wild as possible.

Critical Steps to Follow in Finding a Casino Party Corporation For your forthcoming Casino Fundraiser

7 crucial on line casino fundraiser steps plus pitfalls to understand as soon as planning your next gambling establishment fundraiser.
Having been around the online casino party plus planning company for several decades I have been told by customers some very sad experiences of what occurred in their casino fundraiser and I would like to be able to pass to you the particular 7 steps you have to stick to to ensure a person have a productive gambling establishment fundraiser and hire often the BEST casino party corporation for your affair.
Step 1. The look committee. This particular is the most essential part of your planning plus you ought to assign some sort of particular person with each of the specific tasks that needs to be accomplished for your event, together with the Law and receiving the appropriate permit, locating the location and getting somebody to cook for the event, obtaining vendors to help together with the costs, becoming products given, finding the correct on line casino company, and that will be handling the money. It is impossible for one person to address just about all of the above things. The only real effective way is definitely to obtain one person accountable for each piece, get away from them alone to perform the work, but having these people report their very own progress every single so often towards the man assigned in charge for the event. You will will need plenty of time to complete all the tasks We a good good time framework to start is usually 4-6 many months before the occasion date.
สมัคร gclub
Step 2. The particular Regulation and obtaining the fundraiser license and township admission. Always remember of which gambling is definitely illegal, together with obtaining internet casino games at your fundraiser is gaming. This is important mainly because a casino fundraiser is definitely not necessarily the same as holding a car clean to raise funds. For the reason that casino is illegal generally there are point out authorities inside charge of stopping outlawed gambling which means your current casino fundraiser will tumble under very to the gambling laws. A few consider New Jersey as a great example. The state company FONEM (Alcoholic Beverage Control)is dependable to find and even prevent illegal gaming, regrettably their own handbook would not say illegal gambling, or maybe exceptions to the gaming rules, it only claims gambling, and even there features been an occasion in which certainly one of their investigators experimented with to end a casino fundraiser declaring it seemed to be gambling. The situation seemed to be resolved prior to the function time because of the particular second point I want an individual to remember. Even nevertheless your casino fundraiser is gambling and gambling is usually illegitimate, you fall beneath an exception to this rule to typically the gambling laws by express statute. In New Jersey typically the state legislature created a statute to allow on line casino poker and created often the Casino Management Commission to help oversee the activity, they in addition created a statute to allow casino fundraisers and came up with the legalized Games of Likelihood Control Commission to supervise casino fundraisers. The point My spouse and i want you get via all this might be to make your own personal online casino fundraiser legal, an individual must be familiar with law and get the proper permit and township permission for your event. Just because you are a good 501(c)3 not for profit company and employed to having some sort of auto wash to raise funds doesn’t mean you can easily have a good online casino fundraiser simply because this appears like a good thought. So at this point you should fully grasp it is a good option to call your states Office of the Law firm Basic to find out and about the laws in your area in order to have a casino fundraiser.
Step 3. The Best online casino company. This licensing prerequisites needed for anyone express may also require this casino company to be qualified. There have already been occasions in New Hat where a non profit organization called a casino party firm together with nor of this parties knew the laws and regulations resulting in case becoming stopped and belle. Every state is different in addition to New Jersey the casino business and all typically the dealers will need to have the casino fundraiser licence. So this important point is in order to first learn the necessity on your own by phoning their state authorities, then you start phoning the casino companies and enquire them precisely what is required to employ a casino fundraiser. A very good casino party company will certainly question you if an individual have your licence together with be ready to e-mail you the forms expected to receive the licence. They should show you by all aspects to help acquiring your license as well as becoming the particular township permission. Whenever they do not assist you or perhaps reveal the rules subsequently they may not necessarily realize them and that can be quite a disaster waiting to occur.
Step four. Who is really doing your celebration? Recognize there are casino gathering companies who advertise in your area and some who carry out it nationally. In our experience the local organizations are the top for anyone because the national organizations may not know the particular laws for yourself state. Perhaps worse is the nationwide companies will not turn out to be doing your event. Precisely what they do is get in touch with the regional companies, get the quote from and add hundreds of dollars towards the bill just for addressing your own phone call, in addition to the local corporation will be who will be doing all of your event and they can have given you a estimate that is below the national company. Since you search at each company you will see some that have pics regarding movie stars in addition to people having fun around some sort of casino on the particular front webpage of their very own site. Forget everything that stuff designed to attract anyone because it is not necessarily important. After you obtain price tag quotes from casino party companies you might get 3 or 4 which are in the same general array and 1 or 2 the fact that are better than often the others. Let’s give an illustration and say you acquired quotes for $1000, $1100, $1200 and $2000. It shouldn’t make any sense that 3 quotes were inside the same range and a person estimate was much increased and that is as the very high quote is usually coming from a new national firm which will not do your event because they happen to be going to call the neighborhood company who gave a person the cheaper quote in typically the first place, then add the additional funds to often the bill.
Step 5. The on line casino tables. There is also a general principle to follow and that is you want roughly 70 % of you guests in order to be in a position to have fun with. You can modify that rule, nonetheless I would likely not really go below fifty percent capable to enjoy. The online casino firm need to advise you on this particular. They need to also stay inside constant connection with you inside the week leading up to the event to revise often the tables if needed. Let’s assume your event was 300 friends, but throughout the last week you know only two hundred will present up. A reputable internet casino company will suggest you lessen the number connected with tables. An undesirable casino corporation will want you to stay having the original suggestion because they will make more funds. Basically expressed, the RIGHT internet casino party corporation will quite you have the appropriate number of tables and not way too many or even way too few, and they should not put their profit earlier mentioned your fundraising needs. Now let’s go over the casino tables that will turn out to be used for your function. This is my thoughts and opinions as a good licensed vendor, but the best casino organizations have new equipment which is short of folding metal hip and legs and/or use skirting below the family table to cover the metal lower limbs. Inquire yourself why a good genuine casino doesn’t use metal folding legs on their very own tables. A craps or perhaps different roulette games table is quite heavy along with up to 14 people just about all angling and shifting their particular body weight on the table. Maybe that’s you shouldn’t have got metal folding legs in the table because you never want to have the chance the family table collapses. I will by no means deal craps or different roulette games on the table that provides metal folding lower limbs. This point I want anyone remember here is that will you should have online casino party company devote creating that they will end up being the organization doing the event and will certainly not subcontract to another business. You should also require the gambling establishment corporation to give photos with the genuine tables many people will use at often the event. It is fine if they can show you the furniture on his or her internet site, but I might inquire myself why a good casino company does not have got pictures of the tables on the website. Usually do not accept the company obtaining a image showing typically the top of the platforms with people obtaining entertaining since that does certainly not show the lower limbs on the table which I look at the most important part.
Step 6th. Cost from the Internet casino company and suggestions. Often the casino party company need to be making suggestions on the suitable casino tables plus the amount of each stand to have for the event. They will follow typically the basic rule of 70 % of your attendees being able to enjoy, although they should also be in constant contact with you prior to the event and be willing to decrease or maybe increase tables in case needed. Remember the casino company can be there to help anyone but in addition want to help make money. A great internet casino company will give you advice in the event that needed to reduce the quantity of tables originally advised good number of attendees, allowing them to be described as a great help to you and even now make a new profit. The Poor internet casino corporations will want an individual to stay with the particular original plan because they will will make a higher price. This point here is of which if you have got way too small number of tables then an guests can’t play meaning they cannot donate cash for the function, and if you possess very many tables these people will not use and you are spending even more money you should, plus you could face regarding burning off money for any charitable organisation because of it. The final point I want you to bear in mind is a few casino bash companies that will do fundraising require a proportion of your profits. Never ever hire some sort of company the fact that wants a new percentage on the profits because that is definitely your money. Look at typically the casino company as you may would a caterer or even DISC JOCKEY. They are being purchased their service a flat fee and not a new penny more.
Step 7. Which is going to cope with your money. There is a cardinal rule in internet casino fundraiser which you never make it possible for the casino firm to touch the dollars. Keep in mind there could be thousands of dollars out presently there and you want to get rid of all lure and possible accusations. A fantastic on line casino organization will counsel you how to help set up a “bank” and how only your own reps will touch this money. There are specific aspects involving the evening where often the casino company pit employer will work things to guide encourage added charitable contributions by way of making chip special deals in order to your guests if that they give more cash from each stand, yet this kind of should only be completed one table from a period of time with one of the representatives standing up next in order to them.

Hunter Titan Industrial Fan Leads to Employee Retention | Hunter Fan

Leading Global Provider for Environmental Compliance Products Installs Titan

  • Sarah Villane

Hunter Industrial Ceiling Fan utilized for human comfort temperature range

Before Installation

As a leading global provider of environmental compliance products, UltraTech International Inc. maintains a fully- stocked, multi-functional 5,000 square-foot warehouse. Housing areas for lab work, production and packaging, UltraTech’s warehouse in many ways is at the heart of its operations. With no air conditioning, the space absorbed the Florida heat, creating an interior climate that made it difficult to work and breathe. Previously, the UltraTech team attempted to cool down the space with a series of plug-in floor fans but found they provided little relief.

“The temperature in our warehouse could easily rise to 120 degrees, and the floor fans were clearly not viable solutions for our team––simply moving the hot, muggy air around rather than actually improving conditions,” said Brittney Davis with UltraTech, who manages the warehouse.

With the doors of the warehouse open frequently for packaging drops and pick-ups, air conditioning was not a feasible solution––finding an effective, efficient fan made the most sense for their needs.

"I didn't think it was possible for a single fan to move air on this large of a scale."

Steve Scoville

After Installation

After researching their options, the UltraTech team had an 18-foot Hunter Industrial Titan fan installed in their warehouse. After a quick one-day installation process, the HVLS fan was up and running.

“This fan has been nothing short of incredible,” said Davis. “It’s completely changed the environment of our warehouse, moving air throughout our entire facility so that the atmosphere is fresh and breathable.”

Since the Titan fan’s installation, the UltraTech team has not been running their previous floor fans but found that the Titan packs more than enough power. They also noted the difference in noise from using the floor fans versus the silence of the Titan.

“We no longer need to operate our old floor fans, although we’ve found that the airflow generated by our Hunter Industrial fan is powerful enough that it actually makes these floor fans turn and run on their own. I didn’t think it was possible for a single fan to move air on this large of a scale,” said Davis.

With people from all over the world visiting the company’s warehouse and lab to sample UltraTech’s products, the team has appreciated the ability to bring visitors into a space that is comfortable and cool.

UltraTech also noticed that the improvements in air quality have translated into boosted employee productivity and comfort. Reducing physical stress and fatigue for workers, the enhanced conditions have also cut down on the need for employees to pause often for rest, breaking their workflow. Beyond that, the fan helped leadership express their care and concern for their team.

"Our warehouse crew does hard, heavy labor, and investing in an industrial fan has allowed us to reinforce to our employees that their health and happiness matters.”

Knifeman kills three at French church, ratcheting up terror fears

Knifeman kills three at French church, ratcheting up terror fears

NICE-Agence France-Presse
Knifeman kills three at French church, ratcheting up terror fears

A knife-wielding man killed three people at a church in the French city of Nice on Oct. 29, slitting the throat of at least one of them, in what officials are treating as the latest jihadist attack to rock the country.

The assailant "kept repeating 'Allahu Akbar' (God is Greater) even while under medication" after he was injured during his arrest, Nice's Mayor Christian Estrosi told journalists at the scene.

A man and a woman died at the Basilica of Notre-Dame, in the heart of the Mediterranean resort city, while a third person succumbed to injuries after seeking refuge in a nearby bar, a police source told AFP.

No mass was underway at the time of the attack, but the church opens around 8:00 am and "people come in to pray at all hours," Father Philippe Asso, who serves at the basilica, told AFP.

Daniel Conilh, a 32-year-old waiter at the Grand Cafe de Lyon, a block from the church, said it was shortly before 9:00 am when "shots were fired and everybody took off running."

"A woman came in straight from the church and said, 'Run, run, someone has been stabbing people'," he told AFP, and dozens of police and rescue vehicles quickly sealed off the neighbourhood.

French anti-terror prosecutors have opened an inquiry into the attack.

France has been on terror alert since the January 2015 massacre at the satirical weekly Charlie Hebdo, which marked the beginning of a wave of jihadist attacks that have killed more than 250 people.

Tensions have run especially high since the trial of suspected accomplices in that attack opened in September, an event the paper marked by republishing cartoons of the Prophet Mohammed that infuriated millions of Muslims worldwide.

Just days later, an 18-year-old man from Pakistan seriously injured two people with a meat cleaver outside Charlie Hebdo's former offices in Paris.

Emmanuel Macron's office said the president would travel to Nice on Oct. 29, just days before French Catholics mark the All Saint's Day holiday on November 1.

In the city, painful memories remain fresh of the jihadist attack during the Bastille Day fireworks on July 14, 2016, when a man rammed his truck into a crowded promenade, killing 86 people.

Just a few days later, two teenagers murdered an 85-year-old priest as he conducted mass at his church in Saint-Etienne-du-Rouvray in northern France, an attack later claimed by the Islamic State group.

Oct. 29's attack drew condemnation from France's allies, with Germany's Angela Merkel voicing solidarity with France and EU Parliament President David Sassoli saying: "This pain is felt by all of us in Europe.

"We have a duty to stand together against violence and those that seek to incite and spread hatred," he said on Twitter.

Italy's Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte condemned a "vile attack" but vowed it "will not shake the common front defending the values of freedom and peace."

Abdallah Zekri, director general of the French Council of Muslim Worship (CFCM), said: "I can only denounce as strongly as possible this act of cowardice against the innocent."

Zekri called on French Muslims to cancel festivities to mark the Mawlid, or the Prophet's Birthday, which ends on Oct. 29, "in solidarity with the victims and their loved ones."

Estrosi, meanwhile, called for churches around the country to be given added security or to be closed as a precaution.

Why might you benefit from sedation?

Being anxious about dental treatment is extremely common – about 1 in 10 people in the UK have varying degrees of dental phobia. This can often lead to delaying treatment or avoiding the dentist completely, which usually only results in further problems developing over time that require more complicated treatment.

What does sedation involve?

Intravenous sedation involves the use of a drug given to you through a thin plastic tube placed in your arm or back of your hand via a very thin needle. The drug will make you very relaxed and sleepy, to the point that even though you are still conscious, you are not really aware of anything else and treatment can be completed comfortably.

Most people do not remember anything from the whole appointment. There is no need to be referred to the hospital and you can be treated in the comfort of the practice and discharged back home the same day.

Is sedation available even if you don’t have a phobia?

Even if you are not generally a nervous patient, in some situations that require more complex work such as the extraction of wisdom teeth or lengthy root canal treatment, sedation can greatly increase the comfort of the whole experience.

What next?

You will usually need a short assessment prior to your sedation appointment. The dentist will only ask you some questions at this point and you will have a chance to discuss any concerns or questions in more detail.

Ninth Schedule of the Indian Constitution – History, Issues, Challenges

On February 2020, a Lok Sabha MP stated that the government should immediately put all issues pertaining to reservations for Scheduled Castes, Scheduled Tribes and Other Backward Classes in the Ninth Schedule of the Constitution so that they are not challenged in the court. This statement comes days after the Supreme Court ruled that the reservation in the matter of promotions of the public post was not a fundamental right and that a state cannot be compelled to offer quota if it chooses not to. The Ninth Schedule of the Indian Constitution, since its enactment, remains a contentious issue as its constitutionality is questioned.

Judicial Federalism – Meaning, Components and the Indian Context

Recently, the Supreme Court of India taking suo motu cognizance of some of the key issues related to Covid-19 management which included the supply of oxygen and essential drugs and declaration of lockdowns noted that the matter being heard in the several High Courts is ‘creating confusion’ and ‘diversion of resources’. Various High Courts were dealing with such cases when the Supreme Court of India took up the issue to itself and decided to pass some orders on the issue of ‘distribution of essential supplies and services during pandemic’. Additionally, the Court issued an order asking the State governments and the Union Territories to “show cause why uniform orders” should not be passed by the Supreme Court. It thus indicated the possibility of transfer of cases to the Supreme Court which it has done on various occasions. The recent incident brings out the issue of judicial federalism to the fore and highlights its functioning in India.

Judicial Review, Activism & Overreach – What is the Difference?

In recent times there have been intense debates and speculations about increasing judicial interventions into the legislative and executive policies of the government. Being a parliamentary democracy, it is essential to understand the limitations and distinctions of the authority vested in the executive, legislative and judiciary to ensure proper cooperation and coordination within the government.

Reservation in Promotion for SC/STs – Supreme Court Verdict & its Significance

Updates *

On February 7th, 2020, with regards to Mukesh Kumar Vs the State of Uttarakhand case, the Supreme Court ruled that states are not legally bound to provide reservations to Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes in government jobs. The apex court had stated that individuals do not have the fundamental rights to claim reservations in the promotions. This is based on the provisions of the Indian constitution. This recent judgement is not new. The top court had pointed out the fact that reservations are not fundamental rights in several judgements in the past.

The Son of Nine Sisters

Updated: Jul 11, 2020

I just finished another great book! The Son of Nine Sisters by Karen P. Foster is a page turner and it kept my interest until the very end.

The main character is Stacy. She lives in New York where she has a boring job, a horrible boss, and no real purpose to her life. Suddenly, she starts having dreams about the Norse gods. Unlike me and the rest of you Iceland, Viking, and Norse enthusiasts, Stacy had zero knowledge about Norse mythology.

In her dreams, Stacy becomes the Norse god, Heimdall. He is the son of nine sisters - each one a giantess. The Nine Mothers of Heimdallur are written about in the famous Prose Edda by Snorri Sturluson. This important compilation was written in Iceland about the early 13th century. Our knowledge of Scandinavian mythology comes from the Prose Edda, Poetic Edda, Heimskringla, and other sources. Karen does a great job tying the ancient myths to her modern-day novel.

Heimdall is a god of peace and watches over Asgard (the realm of the gods - heaven) from the gate at the Bífröst Bridge (Æsir's Rainbow Bridge) which links Ásgard (heaven) and Midgard (Earth).

Heimdall can see one hundred leagues around him at night or day. (1 league is the distance a person can walk in about one hour or about five km) . His hearing is so good that he can hear grass grow and can hear the wool grow on a sheep.

The real-life, modern-day, stagnant world of Stacy and the exciting dream-world where she is the Norse god, Heimdall, become intertwined. The author, Karen, does a great job keeping the story-line interesting and enjoyable flipping back-and-forth between dreams and reality.

While reading this fictional story, the old Norse gods come alive for the reader in a fun and unique way. Even if you know nothing about Norse mythology, you will enjoy this book.

I highly recommend The Son of Nine Sisters. Thank you very much, Karen. I cannot wait for the sequel!

Emirates inaugurates A380 service to Hamburg

Photo: © Hamburg Airport

Today, Emirates has inaugurated its new Airbus A380 service to Hamburg. The Arabian airline becomes the first operator with scheduled commercial A380 flights to the German airport.

The twice-daily route between Dubai and Hamburg was previously only operated by Boeing 777 aircraft. From 30 October, the A380 will be regularly deployed on the evening service (EK61/EK62), while the other daily flight (EK59/EK60) will still be operated by a Boeing 777-300ER.

The super-jumbo is already a common sight in Hamburg: the Airbus A380s are being fitted at Airbus in Hamburg-Finkenwerder including cabin interior work and final painting. “We are excited to finally bring our Airbus flagship ‘home’ and see Hamburg join the other 48 destinations we currently serve with the A380“, said Volker Greiner, Emirates Vice President North and Central Europe, in a statement in May, when the airline announced the new A380 service to Hamburg.

The second-largest city in Germany becomes the 50th destination on Emirates’ route network to be served by its A380 aircraft. With its existing multiple daily A380 services to Frankfurt, Munich and Dusseldorf, Emirates is now serving all four of its German destinations with the super-jumbo. However, some flights remain operated by Boeing triple-seven aircraft.

In total, the Dubai-based airline has the largest Airbus A380 fleet with 105 aircraft in service.
