Working for a Cohesive Community

Article from The Tri-City Voice
Published June 2006

Following the announcement of Fremont city councilmember Dominic Dutra not to seek reelection in the November elections, TCV asked him to reflect on his service on the council and future plans.

TCV: What have been the major accomplishments during your service on the council?

Dutra: There have been three that stand out in my mind. One is economic development. When I say economic development, I do not only mean just the projects that have moved forward such as Auto Mall, Pacific Commons, Centerville and downtown but the cultural change at the city from the standpoint of economic development. I believe the city has made a 180 degree turn in terms of being very ‘business friendly.’

Number two, since the very beginning of my time on council, addressing the budget situation has been at the top of my list and third is the professional nature with which the council operates.

TCV: Will you leave a personal legacy with the council and city?

Dutra: I have looked at my term on council as a team effort. If I did anything, hopefully it has been an effort to bring disparate groups to work together; that is what it takes to make a city move forward. When I started on council, there was a big rift between some in the city, business community, historic districts and the chamber. It has always been my goal to try to bring these groups together through appropriate staff and cultural changes to facilitate outreach to these groups.

I am not the only one that worked on this, but that is where it all starts. If business and resident groups are not working effectively with the city then we cannot get anything accomplished since the focus is on differences. We have improved in this area and I feel I had at least some role in this.

I believe my role on the city council will be remembered as someone who always worked very hard to be prepared on council matters and that I am a person of integrity.

TCV: Do you consider your time off council as simply a hiatus or a permanent change? Are you disillusioned with council service?

Dutra: No, I am not disillusioned at all. I have told people this is the hardest, yet easiest decision I have ever made. I have loved my service on council and would like to continue but when weighing my priorities between some very important council decisions to be made in the future and my family – my wife Lisa with whom I just celebrated 20 years of marriage and two beautiful kids, Tricia and Gabriel – it is an easy decision. Life is a function of making decisions based on priorities with implications and consequences.

At this point, I don’t have any plans about reentering public service in the future. I will never say ‘never,’ but at this point, I have no such plans. God has graciously given me an opportunity to step back to appreciate my wife for everything she is and invest my time and life with my kids and, of course, my business.

TCV: When you leave city council, will you spend time on any city commissions or projects?

Dutra: I will be spending my time with my family and business. I think it would be counterproductive to come off council and get involved in something else at the city that quickly. I have at least a year or two to completely invest in my family and my business.

TCV: What do you see as the primary challenges for your successors?

Dutra: I think the biggest for all cities, not just Fremont, is to overcome the cynicism that seems to be inherent in the process. It has been said that while I am not sure how much can be accomplished by faith, one thing I know is that nothing can be done by doubt. Any leader must first look to address this cynicism by bringing credibility to the office and representing themselves as someone who is knowledgeable, works hard and a person of integrity. This can bring back people’s confidence in the leadership of the city. We cannot accomplish anything as just a city council; it will take a collaborative effort with the people.

The budget issue needs to be addressed. All the economic work being done will be for naught if we don’t have a safe, clean place for people to raise their families. From there, the city needs to concentrate on further economic development – downtown, Oakland A’s, expansion of the Auto Mall, Centerville, Irvington, etc. I am excited about the opportunity to pull money out of our transportation projects such as the Mission/I-880 interchange, to try to bring the $16M or so we need to do the Irvington project.

TCV: Will you be heavily involved in the Utility Tax campaign?

Dutra: I don’t know. I will see what develops; I would prefer the spokespeople to be citizens. I have been down that road before and sometimes it is not a smart thing to have a councilmember take the lead. I did my best in the last Utility Tax campaign. It is probably prudent this time to have other citizens take leadership roles.

TCV: Why is the council opposed to a special tax such as safety tax?

Dutra: Special taxes are incredibly hard to pass – you need 66 2/3 voter approval. Traditionally there is a large constituency that will vote “no” on a tax. It is not necessarily a healthy thing to allow a group of 32 percent to control the city. A vote of 50 percent is more representative of the city’s will.

TCV: Do you believe downtown planning is moving ahead at an acceptable pace?

Dutra: At a council meeting a couple of years ago, I made it clear that I had the sense that the developer was not moving forward as productively as they should. Since that point, I believe they have received enough council direction to move toward a development agreement with the city. This takes time – it is a very complex agreement – but once that is done, you will see progress. It is a big, complex development and market forces change over time adding to the complexity.

TCV: The Centerville Unified Project received only one construction bid. Since you are in this business, what do you think has happened?

Dutra: The costs of materials – concrete, copper, steel – have escalated at a phenomenal rate. This is not only due to the rebuilding from Katrina, but the expansion of third-world countries. The mixed use nature of the project also narrows the number of interested contractors. Developers are either residential builders or retail builders; there are not many who do mixed use. This is beginning to change now because mixed use is more prevalent. The risk inherent to a mixed use construction project is very high so, combined with the high cost of materials and the fact that these contractors are very busy the number of contractors interested in the project is diminished.

Hopefully in the next round, there will be more people competing. Materials will not become cheaper over time nor will construction be less complex, so what this says is the sooner the city gets into a deal, the better.

TCV: There is also an issue of trouble leasing the required retail space in the Centerville Market Place prior to construction. How do you see this problem?

Dutra: The leasing is the least of their problems. There is not a lot of good retail space available, so I don’t think that will pose a big problem. The real risk is delay and the costs associated with that.

I have communicated with our staff that we have to take a hard look at all pending construction projects and look at the contingency funds set aside to see if they accurately reflect changing costs. Otherwise, we will have the constant scenario where projects are coming back to the council with cost escalations when, in fact, they are simply reflecting market conditions. Whether the project is the swim facility, Centerville, grade separation, or whatever, this is what is happening in the construction industry right now. You can just anticipate significant cost increases. All these projects should be reviewed and updated so we don’t have this one-at-a-time situation occurring.

TCV: Any other comments you would like to make?

Dutra: I would close by saying that I love this city and looking forward to remaining here as a resident and business owner. I am hopeful that the community and city will move forward together to solve our important issues. Have faith in people whether they work in the city, on the city council, planning commission or not – it is so easy to question people’s abilities. We can get so much accomplished when people have faith in others to try to do the right thing.

Jacob Collier counts Lizzo and Grammy history on his side

Like many other twentysomething musicians today, Jacob Collier has spent 2020 barricaded in his childhood home.

The 26-year-old singer-composer and multi-instrumental polymath decided early on to ride out the COVID-19 pandemic at his mother’s place in London, where he’s passed the days in their home office and music studio, working on tracks and slipping back into the routines of youth.

But unlike other homebound late-millennial peers, he got the news in that very room that he’d been nominated for album of the year at January’s Grammy awards.

“It’s been ridiculous,” Collier said a few days after “Djesse Vol. 3” came up for the top nomination. “I was just looking at the computer screen in here watching the nominations come in on the livestream, and I was just interested to know what was going down. I was blown away to have already gotten two nominations, so I was wondering who got the big ones. It was a heart-stopping moment to see it and go, ‘Wait, that’s actually me.’ I was flabbergasted.”

Collier, by his own admission, is a surprise pick for an album of the year nomination, alongside the likes of Taylor Swift and Post Malone. Though signed to Decca/Interscope, and managed by legendary producer Quincy Jones’ firm, he didn’t see this coming.

Collier, who is also up for R&B performance and arrangement, instruments and vocals, is no stranger to the Grammy stage. He has four career wins already, a perfect win-loss record since his 2016 debut, “In My Room.” His velveteen tenor and blend of old-soul balladry and YouTube-friendly loops of live arrangements straddles generations. He’ll cover a standard like “Moon River” but splice his takes together for a clip that plays well on TikTok.

While he’s made waves on Billboard’s jazz charts (hitting No. 3 with his debut LP), performed with Hans Zimmer at Coachella, played his own night at the BBC Proms and this summer recorded an eye-popping NPR Tiny Desk concert where he played every instrument, he’s far from a pop star in the U.S.

But just ask The Weeknd: The Grammys can surprise even seasoned pros. Collier’s a longshot to actually win album of the year, but Herbie Hancock (with whom Collier is close) proved it’s possible for progressive jazz artists to take home the top prize. Given 2020’s chaos, that’d be only a medium-rare Grammy shock.

Collier attributes his nomination to an ultra-passionate fanbase of fellow musicians in the Recording Academy, where his autodidactic instrumental and arranging prowess (his mother is a professional orchestra musician) is obvious and compelling.

“The Grammys are in part voted for by musicians, the people who love music and produce it and take it on the road. Even 10 years ago, when I started to upload songs, I really noticed that musicians were the first people who got me, who spoke the same language about trying to stretch harmony and rhythm and melody,” he said. “I’d probably say it’s a testament to the fact that musicians are the ones who decide the Grammys, more than how many records you’ve sold or how you’ve charted.”

“I don’t think any of us know what this means yet. It was a surprise to us and to Jacob,” said Adam Fell of Quincy Jones Productions, Collier’s management firm. “The Grammys are voted on by musicians, producers, engineers and others who have creative credits on professionally released albums. In that community, Jacob is incredibly beloved. Notice the way other musicians react to him.”

It’s true. When his nominations were announced, SZA said on social media: “NOTHING BUT THE BEST IS WHAT HE DESERVES!!!! A king I say a king!!!” Lizzo proclaimed: “I screamed when I saw u on there bro!!!” And Jamie Cullum wrote: “In the biggest company on the ACTUAL SHOW!!! Right where you belong. Awesome!”

More than any album in Collier’s already-prodigious catalog, his “Djesse Vol. 3” made a real play at a broad and potentially pop-chart audience. The collaboration-heavy album — one completed during the pandemic via email — sports R&B-stalwart guests Ty Dolla Sign, Mahalia, Daniel Caesar, T-Pain and Jessie Reyez. Songs like “Count the People” and “All I Need” use a contemporary palette of electronic production alongside Collier’s instrumental and vocal intricacies. “Djesse Vol. 3” wears its virtuosity lightly.

While there are no silver linings in a pandemic that’s left almost every artist off the road and nervous about the future, Collier said the time to himself helped him focus and find the sound that won Grammy voters’ acclaim over much more well-known artists. But to get an R&B-specific nomination, alongside his big look for album of the year, is especially meaningful as a nod of approval from Black peers rooted in that sound.

“I’ve loved R&B my whole life, and while I’ve never been a big believer of genre as label, I found collaborators who are all giants in that scene,” said Collier (who is of British and Chinese descent). “R&B is Black music first and foremost, and I owe all my education in it to Black musicians around the world.”

Collier, like nearly every other musician, pines for the chance to play live again, even if he’s made the most of appearances on “Jimmy Kimmel Live!,” where he can flex his instrumental gifts and indefatigable good spirits. He’s working with a novel ticket service, Lyte, that lets fans prepay for concerts even before they’re booked at any particular venue, in hopes of bridging that “desolate gap,” as he put it, between independent clubs and corporate-owned venues.

No one quite knows how a pandemic-era Grammys ceremony will be staged, but Collier’s not holding his breath for a chance to hang with Beyoncé backstage.

“There are gifts and curses. I probably can’t get all dressed up to go, which is definitely a shame,” he said. “But without this window of time off to record, I probably wouldn’t have gotten this award. I just hope we can all get back to business soon.”

With this album of the year nod, he’s got good reason to think the crowds might be notably bigger once he can get back on the road. In the smoking crater of the live music business at the end of 2020, that’s a sentiment any Grammy voter can hope for.

“This shows you can make a record on your own time and terms and it can be recognized,” Collier said. “I’ve had to draw on resources I hadn’t done before. I try to look at the world with a sense of humor and optimism, and this has taught me a lot about that, about how hope can make life worth living in extraordinary circumstances.”

The Effects of Coronavirus on the Sports Betting Industry

The effects of Coronavirus on sports betting have taken a big hit with cancellations of national leagues and major sporting events around the world. The Japan Olympics are postponed indefinitely, and EURO 2020 has been delayed until June 2021. The industry is facing unprecedented challenges, and the spread of Coronavirus continues. No one can say with any certainty when national and international sports will resume. With the largest countries in Europe and the USA under quarantine, lower league football teams are already facing financial difficulties.

How are betting sites coping?

With live sports suspended indefinitely, punters are turning to the only few options remaining. Online casinos are reporting increased online activity, so is eSports and virtual sports games. Horse racing may go ahead in some countries, less the crowd, and a handful of live events may still go ahead providing a trickle of events online bookmakers can exploit. One such event is the MML fight between Habib and Ferguson planned for April 19th. Betting sites are already offering odds for the eagerly anticipated battle. The silver lining is more people than ever before are going online and turning to alternatives. Land casinos have closed, and many of those players have gravitated to online casinos.

Trends and Diversification

We should not forget many bookmakers offer casino games. Another trend that is increasing is live dealer casino games such as those released by industry leaders. Online Poker, bingo, scratch cards are all viable alternatives to sports betting. Horse racing is set to continue behind closed doors, but unfortunately, the Grand National will not be held this year. Esports was already growing exponentially and will increase in popularity even more in the coming months. Virtual sports are the closest to the real thing for ardent sports fans. Sports betting companies and the media businesses that capitalised the industry are already cutting costs to keep afloat and trying to find creative ways to keep fans engaged while the sports world is in limbo. Online gambling companies are launching betting pools around politics or TV shows, as well as looking to smaller, international events that are still ongoing like horse racing, rugby.

Fantasy Video Sports

All eyes are on the Autumn NFL season as the next comeback opportunity for sports betting fans. Sportsbook operators are in a tight spot, as they own massive casinos and retail locations that have been hit worst. Online gambling providers are including daily fantasy and virtual sports to weather the economic climate. Sports leagues and associations, like NASCAR, are starting to turn to video gaming simulations or Esports which could provide new betting opportunities. The Coronavirus isn’t just affecting people’s health, but it has begun to affect sports matchups worldwide. It is causing a ripple effect on the betting market. Multiple organisations from Italian soccer to the NBA have discussed precautions for playing games due to the global outbreak.

Contingency Plans and Alternatives

Sportsbooks are preparing for upsets by underdogs due to the shakeup that is being caused by the illness. Every sport has the same plan set should they need it. That is, to keep playing the schedule without fans. Games would be played without fans behind closed doors, but played, nonetheless. The NBA informed teams with a memo that if there was a risk of Coronavirus infection, they should prepare to play without any fans in the stands. However, some athletes won’t agree with such measures. Coronavirus could make for an unexpected payday for those gambling on sports events. Payouts will be higher on the underdog. The worst-case scenario is to have the games played without fans in the stands but might be the only option. Athletes have been informed of the Coronavirus symptoms, and each player will be evaluated and tested before playing in the Championship. Either way, it is safe to say the entire sports industry is on top of the virus outbreak and they are taking proper, responsible precautions to avoid the further spread of the virus. In doing so, they have created what could be an extremely lucrative spread for all future sports events and those who love to bet on them. While sports fans may not be able to attend games, they will still be able to wager on them.

Developments in the Colombian Online iGaming Market

The gaming market in Colombia is the first jurisdiction in Latin America to set up a regulated online gambling environment. The eGaming Act was approved in 2016, and since then, the Colombian gambling market has been open to licensed operations. Colombia and Latin America have been targeted by major players in the industry due to the immense potential the region holds. Recent studies point towards a spike in demand for online gambling services in past years in the area. That has led to a surge in the number of gambling operators and service providers becoming interested in investing in local markets. The positive reaction is that multiple jurisdictions are considering the possibility of legalising online gambling and opening up their markets for online gaming with licensed operations.

Paving the way for Latin America with Legislation

Colombia is essentially paving the way for countries like Mexico and Brazil to follow suit and fine-tune and update their existing gambling laws meet contemporary demand. Colombia is moving away from its notorious status as a drugs capital. With recent headway made to end decades of conflict and revolutionary between militia groups, Colombia is finally emerging from that shadow. Colombia’s emergence as a jurisdiction for online gaming stems from Law 643, that is a 2001 provision aimed at increasing regulation of the gambling industry. Over 60% of Colombian adults regularly place wagers and are enthusiastic about gambling. Land-based casinos, slot parlours, bingo and lotteries are currently legal in Colombia. The state passed a set of laws in 2008 outlining the rules for the operation of slot halls and casinos. All operators were required to abide by the new set of regulations to continue operating in the country. The law stipulates casinos can only operate in commercial venues with the main activity being gambling. All electronic gambling games must be connected to a national information database network, and also follow the protocols.

Colombian eGaming Act

The Colombian government introduced measures to block any gambling website that does not follow proper licensing procedures. The Colombian eGaming Act contains a set of rules that govern the operation of online cash gaming activities, including poker, casino games, and sports betting. Instead of having to obtain separate licenses for every type of gambling, operators can opt for one license covering all activities. Moreover, to operate legally in Colombia, operators need to pay a licensing fee of around $200,000 a year and 15% tax on gross gaming revenues.

Colombian Gambling Authority

The gaming industry in Colombia is regulated by a governing body, just like other jurisdictions. The El Consejo Nacional de Juegos de Suerte y Azar (Coljuegos) ensures operators follow the protocols and legal requirements. The organisation replaced the defunct Empresa Territorial para la Salud (ETESA) in 2011 due to allegations of rampant corruption. The Coljuegos was responsible for drafting new gambling legislation and regulations, enabling it to exert a tighter grip on gambling activities and increase revenues.

Building on the Past

The Colombian government was restructured under a new Constitution in 1991, and Law 643 was enacted. The objective was to organise the prevailing, unsupervised collection of casinos, bingo halls, and slot parlous. However, by 2001, gambling was entirely controlled by underworld figures and paramilitary organisations that plagued the country for generations. The new rules proved successful, and under the guidance ETESA, Columbia saw its tax revenue from gambling increase by over 500%. Nevertheless, up until 2008, illegal gambling was rampant to such an extent that 20% of all betting on the county was unlawful, and 20,000 out of the country’s 65,000 slot machines were unlicensed. ETESA issued ten new gaming licenses by 2009, extended operations of 9 other venues, and renewed 22 permits for existing gambling enterprises. Colombia is only rivalled by Argentina in terms of South American casino operations. Cartagena, San Andrés, and Bogotá are home to many casino establishments. ETESA was disbanded in 1012 following a series of corruption scandals; however, the agency has been replaced by Coljuegos.

A Growing Market and Future Challenges

Colombia has a population approaching 50 million and an expanding economy that is fast becoming a hotbed for gambling activities. One of the most significant challenges the Coljuegos faces is to modernise the existing system of issuing gambling licenses to regulate the online gambling industry. A new draft was presented by the Coljuegos in 2016 outlining the new regulations for online gambling. Changes in Colombian gambling laws means operators need more starting capital; however, it will help players develop a sense of trust. Prior to the Coljuegos taking control of gambling activities in Colombia, the system was rife with corruption and illegal gaming activity. The association was formed to eliminate bribery and illicit activities, thereby creating realistic regulations that fully reflect modern gambling trends, and increase revenues. These positive changes are already attracting betting companies to set up operators in Colombia and growing revenues through taxes and licenses. The Colombian gambling regulator Coljuegos has already granted an iGaming license to locally owned betting company Aquila Global Group, which was the first authorised by the regulatory body. Colombia’s regulated online gambling market closed strongly in 2019, while over 1.7m new customers registered in 2018. Colombia has steadfastly persevered through years of turmoil to become a shining example for South American countries to follow in terms of gambling legislation. The online gambling industry in Latin America is about to be transformed, and Colombian law is the catalyst!

The Future of Gaming in Brazil

Brazil has the fifth largest population, and the ninth largest economy in the world, the country could easily be a significant market for sports betting. With a population approaching almost 220 million, Brazil’s online sports betting market could be worth over $1.15bn, as Senator Flexa Ribeiro pointed out. Although Brazilian online sports betting has been largely unregulated until now, online sportsbooks were legal. Attempts to ban online gambling prove how prevalent it is. The government in Brazil tried to ban online gambling payments way back in 2006, 2008, and most recently in 2010. Thus far, all attempts have failed. Furthermore, the Senate attempted to ban online sportsbooks in 2011. That measure also failed to gain sufficient support. The Brazilian Senate passed a bill in 2015 that proposed to regulate and tax online sportsbooks, and additionally creating two new lotteries.

Legal Grey Area

Former Brazilian President Dilma Rousseff vetoed the bill in 2015, and so far, online sports betting operates in a legal grey area. Although Brazilians love betting on sports events, there are not that many legitimate online sportsbooks in Brazil. Until now, Brazilian gamblers have accessed international online bookmakers that accept real money players from Brazil.

Regulations for online sports betting in Brazil

Online sportsbooks that cater to Brazilian bettors need to include South American and European football betting options. A legitimate Brazilian sportsbook provides betting on Jiu-Jitsu in mixed martial arts. Several Brazilian fighters participate in the MMA; therefore, sportsbooks will need to offer bet options on the UFC, as well as, the other significant MMA associations. Other popular sports in Brazil include South American and NBA basketball, along with horseracing. Sportsbooks will need to have all online sports bets in the Portuguese language. Sites should also support online transactions in Brazilian Reais.

New sports betting legislation

The Brazilian Congress finally approved the Provisional Measure (MP) 846. It was subsequently signed into Law 13,756/2018 in December 2018 by the President. The law authorises online sports betting and land-based betting, however, legislation is yet to receive specific enforcement regulations enabling licenses to be granted to private betting operators. The Brazilian Ministry of Finance will be the new regulator for legal sports betting on the country. It is estimated that another two years are needed to finalise all the specific regulations.

Since the Law 13,756/2018 was approved and sanctioned, the Brazilian sports betting market experienced a massive shift. There has been significant growth in advertising revenue for local soccer clubs. Increases have been noted in the number of soccer tournaments and leagues, sports ambassadors, and sponsorships. New land-based and online operations have sprung up as the projected increase in the betting volume takes effect. The new legislation sets out fixed quota betting for retail and online operators. Online operators will be obliged to pay back at least 89% of bets handled back to the customer.

Additionally, operators will have to pay a tax rate of 8% on their turnover. Out of these 8%, 3% is to be channelled into education, social security, along with law enforcement. Unexpectedly, approval of the bill was passed relatively quickly for the country, notorious for its cumbersome political system. The new political climate seems to be much friendlier towards gambling. The Senate Bill PLS 186/2014, passed this year, legalising online sports betting, online casino games and bingo was defeated by 13-2 in a senate vote.

Final Public Consultation

Potential sports betting operators in Brazil are being invited to a final public consultation. It is a chance to influence and shape the new gambling rules before they are carved in stone. The Ministry of the Economy in Brazil announced the consultation regarding proposed plans, and the regulation of online and offline sports betting. Interested parties had up until the end of September to submit their proposals and counter-reactions to the new draft decree. The document was initially launched in July, and attracted 1,850 submissions, with a third of them from industry types. The draft decree was the result of the ministry’s interpretation of submissions. However, there were apparently still several areas of uncertainty.

Moreover, the decree confirms both online and land operators will have to pay 1% tax on betting turnover. According to government estimates, that will work out at about 6% of the gross revenue from gambling. The draft decree does not contain any other information regarding fees or taxes; however, the government previously confirmed licensees have to pay an upfront fee of US$735, and monthly fees of BRL30k for online operators, BRL20k for land-based, and BRL45k for both at once. Applicants for betting licenses need to provide proof of financial reserves of $1.5m to ensure bettors are paid if the bookmaker encounters financial difficulties. All advertising for betting has to be accompanied by a responsible gambling messaging, and the online operators’ home pages need to be visible. Operators will not be permitted to make fun of the cultural beliefs or traditions in Brazil, or mock people who disapprove of gambling. Operators who are flouting the rules may face penalties amounting to 100% of their gross revenue. Repeat offenders are charged double the original penalty. Betting legislation was signed into law last year, allowing two years for the government to make the final betting regulations. The plan is to prepare and finalise the rules by December 2019, ahead of a betting market launch in June 2020. Operators are already salivating at the prospect of offering sports betting to Brazil’s 212m residents.

The Freedom Lecture: Belarus

Sophie Rutenfrans

This programme will take place online. Visitors with tickets are informed per e-mail.

On August 9th, thousands of protesters took to the streets in Belarus calling for free and fair elections. This marked the start of a broad protest movement opposing the authoritarian reign of ‘Europe’s last dictator,’ Alexander Lukashenko. Tonight we honour the brave people of Belarus and stand in solidarity with their cause.

In this Freedom Lecture, several Belarusian voices share their story with regards to the current events in Belarus. Belarusian artist Tasha Arlova, born in 1989 in Vitebsk, Belarus will give the Freedom Lecture. She works with photography, performative videos and short films. She is also one of the founders of the Second Thoughts reading club dedicated to “a collective exploration on Eastern Europeanness”, co-organizer of exhibitions dedicated to Belarusian protests. Currently on her final graduation year in Gerrit Rietveld Academie, Amsterdam.

About the protests right now and the role that art plays in them we also speak online with Yauhen Attsetski, a Belarusian photographer based in Minsk, working mainly in the field of documentary photography. As a photographer, he’s worked with UNDP, Red Cross, UNICEF Belarus, Sapiens Mag, and TIMER Mag. Co-founder of the school of photography fsh1 in Minsk.

Nasta Zakharevich holds a master in philosophy and is an independent belarusian journalist. She will give us an update on the situation at hand in Belarus. She writes about ecology and urbanism for Belarusian Green Portal, covers protests for the agency EFE and has her own blog about feminism and social issues at Radio Liberty. This september she was kidnapped, then officially detained and spent 7 days in jail for covering protests in Minsk.

Caroline de Gruyter will provide us with a broader view on the geopolitical field with regards to Europe, Russia and Belarus. She is a journalist and lecturer based in Oslo. She is a European Affairs correspondent for the leading Dutch newspaper NRC Handelsblad and a regular contributor to Carnegie Europe. She was posted to Brussels twice and spent more than twenty years covering Europe.

With Pieter Omtzigt we will talk about the power of sanctions, what the Netherlands can do to support the Belarusian people, and what the EU should do.

Adjournment Debate. - Cork Nursing Home.

Wednesday, 12 June 1996

Dáil Éireann Debate
Vol. 466 No. 7

First Page Previous Page Page of 144 Next Page Last Page

Mr. B. O'Keeffe: Information on Batt O'Keeffe Zoom on Batt O'Keeffe It is with regret that I raise again the issue of the care of patients in the Woburn House nursing home in Cork and the operation of the nursing home under the Health (Nursing Homes) Act. An independent inquiry was carried out into this nursing home and it found there was inadequate patient care, inadequate insurance, an absence of registered nurses and overcrowding.

Subsequent to the inquiry, a nurse manager was appointed and the inadequacies outlined in the report of the inquiry were said to have been put right. The health board management indicated its satisfaction with the arrangement. We were informed that if there was another breach of the regulations severe action would be taken.

On 7 June the nurse manager was dismissed and wrote a letter alleging serious breaches of the Health (Nursing Homes) Act. Had the nurse manager not been sacked I am not certain whether he would have written the letter. The allegations dealt with the adequacy of patient care, the prescribing of drugs by an unregistered nurse and medical treatment Protocols being carried out by an unqualified person — all of which issues arose in the findings of the independent inquiry. There were also allegations of the re-use of nappies, another issue in the findings of the previous inquiry. The possibility of overcrowding was also mentioned. By and large, the allegations are a restatement of the previous ones made about this home.

The Southern Health Board proposed, with the agreement of the owner, the appointment of a member of staff of the health board while an internal inquiry proceeded. However, the issue has gone further. I am anxious that natural justice would be seen to be done and I am conscious I have received only [2041] one side of the story. The letter written by the individual concerned was sent to the chief executive officer of the health board duly signed. Therefore, I felt it appropriate to bring this to this Minister's attention.

I ask the Minister, in association with the chief executive of the health board, to appoint the members of the previous inquiry team who are familiar with the nursing home to investigate these serious allegations. They did a superb job on the previous occasion. Therefore, in conjunction with the chief executive officer of the health board, will the Minister consider reappointing that ready-made team?

Mr. Noonan: Information on Michael Noonan Zoom on Michael Noonan (Limerick East): I was pleased to launch the code of practice for nursing homes last year. The Years Ahead — A Policy for the Elderly recommended that the Department, in consultation with the health boards and representatives of nursing home proprietors, should draw up a code of practice for nursing homes. Work on the code took place in parallel with the preparation of the regulations to implement the Health (Nursing Homes) Act, 1990.

The purpose of the code is to give nursing home proprietors and staff, officers of the health boards and the general public a better understanding of what is involved in providing high quality care to residents of nursing homes. The code attempts to define what is currently considered to be good quality nursing home care. It builds on the best practice in nursing homes at present. I am satisfied most nursing home proprietors are attempting to implement the recommendations of the code to the best of their abilities.

At 31 March 1996 a total of 354 private and voluntary nursing homes had been registered by the health boards. Of these, a small percentage were found to be in breach of the Health (Nursing Homes) Act, 1990 and the Nursing Homes Regulations, 1993. I can assure the Deputy that the health boards view any breach of the Act and [2042] regulations in a serious light and all complaints are investigated without delay. The health boards inform me that where breaches have been identified the nursing home owners concerned have, in general, co-operated fully in meeting the standards laid down by the Act and regulations. This is borne out by the Southern Health Board's detailed investigation into Woburn House nursing home.

The inspection and registration of nursing homes are essentially functions of the health boards. I received the Southern Health Board's report on Woburn House nursing home in February last. As the Deputy will be aware the inquiry team found that in the operation and management of Woburn House nursing home, there were some serious breaches of the Nursing Homes (Care and Welfare) Regulations, 1993. Arising from the inquiry, the chief executive officer of the board directed that revised administrative procedures be implemented, particularly in relation to complaints and the functions of the board's nursing homes inspection teams. The board has since appointed a designated officer to act as nursing homes complaints officer.

It has been brought to my attention that further allegations have been made in the last few days regarding the operation of Woburn House nursing home. The Southern Health Board inform me that it immediately referred these allegations to the nursing homes complaints officer for investigation under the new procedures. Pending the outcome of this investigation, and in view of the allegations made against the home and the previous inquiry, the board proposes, under section 9 of the Health (Nursing Homes) Act, 1990, to assign one of its employees to take charge and manage the home on behalf of the board for a period of one month. This has been agreed by the home.

With the appointment of the board's representative as temporary manager of the home, the investigation of the allegations by the complaints officer under the new procedures and visiting of the [2043] home by the inspection team, the board is satisfied the matter will be addressed. I can assure the Deputy that officials of my Department will remain in close contact with the board to ensure a speedy resolution to this matter.

Keir Choreographic Award finals, Sydney

Carriageworks, Sydney, March 13.

It’s often the case that alarm bells start ringing when an artist writes a highly detailed program note explaining precisely what their contemporary dance piece means. Frequently it’s just not possible to see in the work what the choreographer claims. There’s a big disconnect.

In the case of Angela Goh, though, the statement is an indispensable part of Sky Blue Mythic, a piece that deservedly won for her the $50,000 2020 Keir Choreographic Award. “Curtains open,” it starts. (There is no curtain.) “There is no dance being performed on the stage.” (This is true at the beginning.) “The dance that is not being performed is a ballet, Giselle.” (This is also true.) Magic.

At first there is a John Cage-like silence as the performer (Goh) places something that looks like a small sundial on the floor and retreats. Just as the audience starts to get a little restive Goh reappears, walks slowly across the complete bare stage, falls and spills a can of soft drink. This action is later repeated after some exquisitely slow searching by Goh, accompanied by a wonderfully strange score by Corin Ileto. And yes, there are fragmentary references in the choreography to Giselle.

It’s a work that would bear many more viewings and was a worthy winner of this significant prize.

The $10,000 Audience Choice Award went to Amrita Hepi for Rinse, a captivating, highly personal work that covered a lot of ground in 20 minutes – the required length for all participants. Speaking a text that became more absorbing as she continued, Hepi explored the effect of a dominant West on equally valid cultural aspiration. Like Goh she danced her own work superbly.

The Keir is an award for choreography, not the dancing of it, but it was hard not to be swept up by the performance of The Farm’s Hold Me Closer Tony Danza by Kate Harmon and Michael Smith. It starts with a mishearing of a Bernie Taupin lyric – and haven’t we all done something similar? – and develops into a sometimes tender, sometimes fierce depiction of togetherness and its opposite. It was the most accessible dance of the evening and nothing wrong with that.

The least appealing was Delimit by Alison Currie & David Cross, performed by Cazna Brass. It consisted of Brass putting up the set, a group of door-like rectangles with extrusions to which odd shapes were attached and inflated, and then taking stuff off and putting it away. The number of minutes for which this remained interesting was limited.

The Neon Demon
, , , , , , ,
117 min.
Release Date
The Neon Demon

Nicolas Winding Refn explores icy and merciless fashion models in The Neon Demon, another of the writer-director’s visual stunners, despite being measuredly paced and narratively simplistic. With far less humanity than Drive, his latest, which debuted at the 2016 Cannes Film Festival to a mixture of boos and cheers, has much in common with his efforts Valhalla Rising and Only God Forgives. Most of Refn’s films possess a thematic obviousness that, when combined with his meticulous, sometimes-indecipherable visuals, seem to have more subtext than they really do. The first shot of The Neon Demon links women, beauty, and violence in a striking way that becomes more shocking and bold as the film proceeds, but the themes never grow more complex than this basic idea. It’s all presented in such a way that, by the final frames, viewers will either be asking themselves “Is that all there is?” or worse “What was that all about?”

This critic was in the former camp. The Neon Demon shows Refn remains in adulation of Stanley Kubrick and David Lynch, as his so-called horror film is unmistakably influenced by The Shining and Mulholland Dr. The story involves the appalling and dreamlike descent of a would-be “It Girl” in Los Angeles like the latter film, and contains a haunting air of something other-worldly like the former (there’s even a door, of sorts, that opens to a heavy flow of blood). Elle Fanning plays Jesse, who arrives on the L.A. fashion model scene only just after she arrives in town, seemingly a bumpkin whose natural beauty gets her far, and fast. The head of her modeling agency (Christina Hendricks) calls her “perfect” despite Jesse being just sixteen. “Eighteen is too on-the-nose,” she’s told. “Whenever anyone asks, say nineteen.” The next day, she’s having gold paint hand-applied to her naked body by the industry’s leading creeper-photographer (Desmond Harrington).

Meanwhile, Jesse befriends Ruby (Jena Malone, excellent), a makeup artist on both models and cadavers (get it?). Ruby invites her to a party alongside fellow models Gigi (Bella Heathcote) and Sarah (Abbey Lee), girls who are supposed to have Jesse’s back. Instead, they envy her effortless natural beauty, which they’ve tried to replicate through countless operations and augmentations—leaving them to appear, even behave downright vampiric. Indeed, everyone wants a piece of Jesse, some quite literally. For the time being, she lives in a squalid Pasadena motel, populated almost exclusively by young women looking to make it big. Keanu Reeves plays the seedy motel manager. He reminds us how frightening he can be (see Sam Raimi’s The Gift) in a scene where he tries to break into her room to do the unthinkable. Malone, too, wonderfully demonstrates her character’s more disturbed side in a scene when she projects her feelings onto a corpse.

Refn doesn’t investigate his characters in any meaningful way, arguably by design. Save for some late-film behavior by Ruby and Sarah, these people are all surfaces. Very pretty on the outside, but otherwise soulless and empty. Early on, we realize Jesse feigns some of her innocence. She may be virginal, but she knows how her beauty affects people; she knows how she has something pure that others envy; she knows they desire her, and how it turns them into jealous monsters. What’s more, she takes pleasure from the agony she causes, but she puts on an air of blamelessness—even as the corner of Fanning’s mouth shows the faintest hint of a smile when she, rather than Sarah, catches the eye of a top designer (Alessandro Nivola). Of course, Sarah, Gigi, and Ruby have their own major hang-ups, leading to an unforgettable last twenty minutes.

Carrying on at a deliberate pace, the film boasts a rather amazing synth score by Cliff Martinez (Contagion), full of brooding hums and 80s-style tempos. Other than the 80s being a decade of excess, which instantly aligns with this film’s themes, there doesn’t seem to be much reasoning behind the choice of the score’s style. Long, tonally heavy shots in dark lighting are contrasted by bright neon colors—such as a runway sequence where Jesse sees a series of triangles glowing in green and red. Like the models in the film, they’re gorgeous aesthetic compositions, but their meaning is elusive, if not entirely nonexistent. So when the film’s detractors call it“hollow”, perhaps they’re getting the point a little too well. From that perspective, The Neon Demon is structurally and thematically sound. The configuration of every shot, the delivery of every line of dialogue, and the lighting and blocking of every scene has been carefully modulated to Refn’s overelaborate specifications, but the ornate look and feel of The Neon Demon doesn’t contain enough substance to justify the ostentatious design.

Gorgeous to behold and boasting a score worth downloading, The Neon Demon may contain an astounding third act, but Refn takes far too long to establish what is blatantly obvious within the first few scenes. His attempts at hypnotic splendor, which recall the dreamscape in 2001: A Space Odyssey—except with neon, strobe lights, and human bodies—do not transport the viewer or transcend the material. The film’s hallucinatory sequences feel empty, and as though Refn was trying but failed to achieve a certain significance or, as suggested, evoke the emptiness of his subject matter. Either way, we’re left feeling appreciative of his formal confidence, yet emotionally detached. Although Refn’s horror-styled critique of how women are used, objectified, and forced to see each other on those terms remains apt and relevant, the heavy-handed, sometimes indiscernible visual metaphors don’t have anything more to say on the subject except that this trend is bad. If that’s all Refn was going for, mission accomplished.

How to Make a Marvelously Moist Yellow Cake

I come from a family that likes to be creative in the kitchen. I enjoy dreaming up new recipes, as well as putting a spin on old favorites.

Marvelously Moist Yellow Cake

Marvelously Moist Yellow Cake

Yellow cake has always been one of my favorite kinds of cake, but I have often been dissatisfied with the texture of the average yellow cake: slightly dry and reminiscent of cornbread. I decided one day that I would experiment and try to create a yellow cake that had a texture more to my liking. This recipe is the result of that experimentation. I realize the average yellow cake does not have almond flavoring, but that is also in keeping with my personal preference. I hope that if you are looking for a moist yellow cake that tastes a little out of the ordinary, you will be pleased with this recipe.

Cook Time

Prep timeCook timeReady inYields

20 min

30 min

50 min

Serves 10-12 people

  • 1/2 cup butter, melted and cooled
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 5 eggs
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 2 teaspoons almond extract
  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 4 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 1/2 cups milk

  1. Prepare two 9-inch cake pans, or one 9" x 13" pan, by lining the bottoms with parchment paper, then lightly greasing the pans (or prepare two 12-count cupcake tins if you wish to make cupcakes). If you do not use parchment paper, then flour the bottom of the cake pans lightly after greasing them. Preheat the oven to 350°F.
  2. In a large bowl, whip together the butter, oil, and sugar.
  3. Add the eggs, vanilla, and almond extract to the bowl and beat the ingredients together until they are well-combined.
  4. In a separate, smaller bowl, stir together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
  5. Add the flour mixture to the main bowl a few spoonfuls at a time. Alternate between adding the flour and adding some of the milk. Mix well until all of the flour and milk have been added to the batter.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared caked pans. Bake the layers on the center rack of the oven for 28 to 30 minutes. (Bake cupcakes for 14 to 16 minutes, and a single cake in a 9" x 13" pan for 34 to 38 minutes.) The cake is done when a toothpick inserted in the center of it comes out clean. Remove the layers from the oven and cool them on wire racks. Remove the layers from the cake pans once they are completely cool.
Serving suggestion: raspberry jelly filling and a white, almond-flavored frosting.

Serving suggestion: raspberry jelly filling and a white, almond-flavored frosting.

  • If you prefer a more traditional-tasting yellow cake, simply leave out the almond flavoring and increase the vanilla extract by 1 teaspoon.
  • If you have never used parchment paper to line the bottom of your cake pans, I suggest you try doing so. The paper makes it so much easier to get the cake out of the pan, and you never have to worry about broken cake layers! The easiest way to cut a piece of paper that fits precisely in the bottom of your cake pan is to flip the pan over and cut the paper around the edge of the pan (see photo below).
  • Use a measuring cup when putting the batter into the cake pans, distributing equal amounts to each pan. This will ensure that you have cake layers that are the same height once they are done baking.
  • Because this cake's texture is somewhat dense, it lends itself well to the cutting and handling involved in making a shaped cake. I used it to make the bridal shower cake in the example below. You could use this cake as the basis for a variety of shaped cakes for other types of parties as well, such as baby showers, graduation parties, or birthday parties.
Lining a round cake pan with parchment paper is simpler than you might think!

Pranab Mukherjee : A Man of All Seasons

“A leader is one who knows the way, goes the way, and shows the way”- only a few in decades get a chance to become an inspiration for a nation of billions. And demise of such a leader is an exceptional loss to the country.

It is hard to engulf that a political leader who maintained a perfect image for 5 decades in the political arena, Shri Pranab Mukherjee is no more. He literally donned all hats in his career. Some even mention him as a lotus in dirt as he is counted amongst the most respected leaders of Congress.

A man coming from a small village Mirity Bengal nearly acquired all biggies of Post- Independent India and was close to becoming the Prime Minister of India in 2004. He was a Padma Bhushan holder who graduated from Suri Vidyasagar College and later started his political career by joining Indian National Congress in Bengal. The journey from being a lecturer at Vidyasagar college to becoming the President of India was not as easy as it seems while reading. He was known to be a favourite of the Gandhis and was a part of the major transitions that took place in 1980s as a cabinet minister in Indian government.

Indian national Congress played a decisive role in his life as he acquired 5 big posts as being a member of the party. The important time of his career was when he became the finance minister of India for the first time in 1982 under the leadership of Indira Gandhi. In subsequent two years,he was both accused and praised. His contribution in such a hard time (National Emergency) got him more ministries when Manmohan Singh became the prime minister.

Pranab Mukherjee , a member of Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha ,was also a good reader and effective taskmaster which we know through his biography and other books. And from there only we know that he was the choice initially for the post of Prime Minister but later on Congress surprised everyone by making Manmohan Singh as the face of Indian government.

On reaching to his greatest heights he became the President of India and acquired the highest honoured post of the first citizen in 2012. He made sure that he leaves his mark as being part of Rashtrapati Bhawan. He even made easier for people to visit this auspicious Mahal made by British India.

He was admired by everyone from a broad spectrum across all sectors and therefore everyone from Donald Trump to PM  Modi gave their condolences to his family and the country. And you would be glad to know that he was a  favourite president amongst opposition and the joint role of Modi and Pranab Mukherjee is well cherished in the country . He was a man known for his generosity and was awarded with the highest honour of Bharat Ratna in 2019 by current president Ram Nath Kovind.

Pranab da was a parallel protagonist who was groomed by Indira Gandhi and after then nothing stopped him from gaining supremacy. He was considered as a rare strategic device for Congress and his experience of more than 50 years helped Congress in maintaining their regime at the centre.  This super human who we recognise as the 13th president of India became Rajya Sabha member in 1969 for the first time and then continued for 20 more years.

He was known for his remarkable knowledge of foreign relations and when he became the foreign affairs minister, he outcasted every other with his unbeatable experience of diplomacy. His contribution to Indian poltics remains unmatched.  Every political leader who gained knowledge from him touched new heights.

India would always be thankful to Pranab da for his significant contributions to the mother land and similarly Congress would appreciate his unparalleled significance in the national party. Very few in decades get a chance to live with such royal posts and enthusiasm with which our former president lived.

Turkish Chandeliers

How to Decorate Your Home Like a Turkish Palace

Just over two years ago, I received a late invitation from a friend asking if I wanted to accompany her to Turkey for a long weekend. Quicker than you can say Bosporus, I packed my bags and headed to the city which unites Europe and Asia, Istanbul, ready to explore its narrow souks for beguiling textiles from across the country.

That trip has since inspired a particular style of decoration which I want to share with you, combining both the ancient and the modern with fresh, travel-inspired ideas to bring Turkish flair to your home.

Istanbul has been the home to Ottoman sultans, artisans skilled in the art of Islamic miniature paintings as well as a thriving hub of design culture. The city is an endless source of inspiration for interior design lovers (as well as gourmet foodies – Turkish Delight….)

No trip to Istanbul is complete without a visit to Hagia Sophia, the Sultanahmet ‘blue’ Mosque, Topkapi Palace and the Grand Bazaar are must-see attractions and glorious monuments to Istanbul’s past. All of these locations are famous for their tiles, which brings me nicely to my first point…

1. If you want your home to stand out from the crowd and have a wow factor, consider adding the iconic floral Iznik tile decals.

Beautiful tiles are a perfect way to upgrade your home without major renovation as you can change the look of your home quickly and without too much work.

Original Turkish blue and turquoise tiles are hand painted and are suitable for bathrooms and kitchens as well as outside patios, stairs raisers and floors.

Timeless colours include electric blues, pure whites, vibrant reds, glorious turquoise and muted petrol blues.

You can find exciting tile designs that combines both the traditional and contemporary on various online shops and companies. They give your home an unusual mixture of delicate, ancient and bold graphic patterns that grab attention and provide a luxurious feel.

I’m a huge, huge fan of colourful, bold tiles but I also know they can be pretty pricey. You don’t have to spend a fortune to completely transform a room as they also come in economical replicas in sticker form. This revolutionary method needs no time as Installation is as easy as peel and stick.

2. Using copper accents is a great way to add instant warmth, elegance, and rustic glam to your interior.

To get lost inside the Grand Bazaar in Istanbul is to immerse yourself in a sea of stalls that offer all kinds of copper, brass, silver and other metal handwork. You will see ibrik sets (containers with a spout), coffee pots, ewer (vase-shaped pitchers), large decorative platters, tea sets, spa bowls, lamps and lanterns.  Copper has been on-trend for a long time and I believe it is here to stay. So let’s embrace it with Turkish character and make your interior fresh and sophisticated with a touch of exoticism.

Whether you are remodeling your kitchen or just need some original accents around the house, Turkish copper pieces will add that perfect elegance.

3. To personalise drawer and cupboard handles, add ceramic Turkish inspired knobs.

To make a house a home, finishing touches are needed.

These ceramic and porcelain flower door knobs in dark blues and beautiful whites will allow you to really express yourself as a person who likes to travel to exotic places around the world.

With their geometric designs and sophisticated blue-and-white florals they also have the power to transform a plain dresser into a stylish cabinet upgrading your bedroom furniture.

4. Brighten a dark room, add zest to a cold apartment or divide an open-plan space with an exquisite Oushak carpet.

They are highly sophisticated and decorative rugs that come in gentle colours, great for creating a relaxing atmosphere.

Oushak rugs, originally in the small town of Oushak (today south of Istanbul), have been greatly influenced by Persian designs.

Today, Oushak rugs are highly desirable and decorative for elegant room settings as they are soft and luxurious. Also a great option as tapestries on walls.

Source: Bloglovinhomebunchnazmiyal antique rugswovenamazonawsmydomaine

5. Turkish Chandeliers – Ceiling and Table Lamps elaborate in mosaic are perfect for brightening any space with a bohemian touch.

Istanbul is the center of Turkish glass making, a tradition that has materialised into one of the most beautiful Ottoman arts.

These lamps are made by artisans who have inherited the technique of hand-cut coloured glass, a skill that is centuries old in Turkey.

If you are traveling to Istanbul,  one of the best places to buy them is at the Grand Bazaar as they have a large variety of designs and colours. But if you are ready for a new, enjoyable experience, I recommend asking at the tourist office for Turkish lamp workshops, where they teach you how to make one.

Hope you had enjoyed these Istanbul-inspired Interior Décor and Design Ideas. With so many options to choose from, you can easily add a splash of Ottoman influence to your home without breaking the bank or completely changing your interiors. It has modular influences, which means you can keep adding touches over the years to ensure your home continues to evolve alongside your travels.

    1. It was semi intense, but also a lot of fun. I’m so excited for this. I’m a SUPER festive person so I love the idea. I had a record breaking month in October with all the posts and then felt a little down in November when I couldn’t match it. I can’t wait to start planning and doing some of the prompts. Thank you so much for organizing this!

Well that's just put a dampener on the day

Awoke with a sore tongue. The kids have been complaining on and off for a day about their’s being sore, but as it wasn’t my tongue, it didn’t really affect me.

Apart from all the whinging.

It got considerably worse as the day wore on. My sore tongue, that is. The kids whining didn’t. They were at school, so not my problem.

The worst bit, however, was right after I got up. My coffee was terrible. Terrible!

I accused Grumpy of not setting the coffee machine correctly, but this didn’t work as a) he’d already left for work, and b) I’m the one that sets it, so ranted incoherently for a bit before drinking revolting coffee because I was at a loss as to what other means I could distract myself with whilst the Getting Ready For School Chaos was going about it’s usual business. My head wasn’t functioning so great, either, but not sure if that was another symptom of sore tongue thing, or result of consumption of revolting coffee.

Devoid self of children and set about work day with disgusting taste in mouth and inability to enjoy food of all sorts. Even Chocolate Teddy Bear Biscuits tasted horrible. It is a
