Chennai Mom Learns Coding to Help 20-YO Son With Autism Become Website Designer

Chennai Mom Learns Coding to Help 20-YO Son With Autism Become Website Designer

Detected with the Autism Spectrum Disorder in his childhood, Prem Sankar from Chennai as developed five websites, and hopes to make a career out of it.

Ad Banner

On September 30, Prem Sankar celebrated his 25th birthday by launching his website. He has four others under his belt. It may not sound so cool, as lots of people have websites or have built them at much younger ages. But, the feat is unique for Prem to achieve. He is Autistic.

Children born or detected with the Autistic spectrum often struggle to complete tertiary education and mainly get jobs in handicraft making or secondary jobs.

But despite all odds, Prem has successfully learned the complex coding systems of HTML and CSS to develop interactive websites for his clients.

Prem’s inspiring life journey, going from struggling to learn and battling the perceived norms of society to learning coding languages, has enabled him to enter a mainstream profession in little over a year.

“Prem learned data entry and also completed vocational training in weaving and plate making. But he was never offered a job in data entry for behavioural reasons, and he never liked the latter,” says Mangai, his mother.

Born in Tirunelveli, Prem moved places to Tuticorin and Trichy. The parents realised behavioural changes in him at the age of three and moved to Trichy at the age of five. Doctors diagnosed him with Autism Spectrum Disorder. Prem pursued an education in an inclusive CBSE board school until the age of eight. He then completed his education and finished his Class X and XII from a special school at the age of 20.

From Data entry to website designer

Manu Sekar gave a new career alternative to Prem.

At 20, after dropping out of an arts graduate course in Trichy, his parents moved to Chennai for their daughter’s higher education, which became a turning point for Prem.

“In April 2019, we visited a job fair organised to observe Autism month. We came across Manu Sekar, who works for students on the Autism spectrum. He assured that Prem could learn to code and develop websites,” Mangai said adding it seemed like a distant dream and much challenging.

However, Mangai qualified as a special needs educator and decided to make things easy for Prem in learning. Mangai prepared learning models and restructured the lessons according to the needs of Prem enabling slow learning. The simplification of steps gave him confidence.

After a year’s work of training and learning, Prem has developed five websites which include a one for himself. “Over the last few weeks, my son has built websites for friends in a special school, sports academy where he plays football and celebration website to help with the businesses,” Mangai said.

A website to live stream a stage debut, Bharatanatyam arangetram earned him Rs 2,500.

Focus on the strengths

Ad Banner
Prem completed basic computer coding for website designing at HashHackCode.

“Prem has a good memory, but weak in logic. Hence, we decided to work on his strengths. Initially, we worked to develop greeting cards or other designs. But from December 2019, Prem started working on computer coding basics and learning languages,” Mangai said.

Manu Sekar, the founder of HashHackCode, says working with students with Autism requires personal attention as each’s needs are different. “Different students have varying learning abilities to understand the programming logic, cognitive skills, style and even time,” he told The Better India.

Describing Prem as a promising junior web designer, Manu said that in the case of Prem, analytics and his ability to understand grouping patterns are good.

Social acceptance is real therapy

“People with Autism are more focussed. He started making greeting cards and worked on design patterns to create full-fledged websites. Prem’s sheer will to sit, learn, execute and never give up attitude made him achieve the extraordinary feat,” Manu said.

The founder of the startup said Prem has worked on static websites and now would develop skills on advanced programming languages like javascript and creative coding.

Prem and Mangai work together to build websites.

“The skills will enable him to upgrade skills from developing single page websites to advanced ones like Shopify, dashboard and moving websites. Mangai has also learned to code and has become more of a co-worker than mother,” Manu added.

Manu said that people with autism do not need jobs out of charity or sympathy. “They do not need to sell agarbatthis or make plates. More sustainable jobs need to get created,” he added.

Mangai says it would be nice if people could give Prem work to develop websites for them. “Prem is interested in building celebration websites for wedding, dance and other similar genres. He can complete 80 per cent of the work by himself and needs help for the rest. He is working on learning complex coding,” she added.

Mangai said that her son is excited and much interested in continuing the new skills in his career. “He constantly repeats about his plans to work in the US as one of our relatives live there. Prem’s sitting abilities have increased, and behavioural issues have reduced since he learned to code,” she added.

“The launching of websites has earned appreciation for him and made him feel socially inclusive. Acceptance from society is the real therapy for people like my son,” Mangai said.

A SAILOR and volunteer instructor who has served Delph Sailing Club in Egerton for just under 40 years has been recognised.

John Cronshaw has been honoured with the lifetime commitment accolade at the Royal Yachting Associaton (RYA) Volunteer Awards, which are presented to boating's unsung heroes.

Traditionally, volunteers are invited to an award ceremony in London but most have been sent their accolade by post because of the pandemic.

John said: "Obviously I was very pleased to be notified of the award but didn't really think my contribution was in that category."

It was at the age of eight or nine that he started sailing in a Heron dinghy that his father had built in the lounge of their home.

That was at the Ribble Cruising Club in Lytham.

John went on to become a windsurfer, returning to dinghies after getting married and having children.

He had a Miracle class boat and competed on the national circuit with his children as well as at Delph.

John said: "It is such a good family sport.

"It was particularly good travelling to some of the two-day events and competing together."

An instructor for about 35 years and a race coach, John was a teacher by profession but that did not dint his enthusiasm to pass on the skills and pleasures of sailing to new people.

He is also interested in sailing cruisers, sharing ownership of one that is kept in North Wales.

John also races radio-controlled models at Delph two mornings a week.

As treasurer, he has worked tirelessly to adapt the membership structure and has overseen a modernisation programme that has not only halted a decline but attracted a large increase in new members.

He was instrumental in a recent Sport England bid to buy a modern fleet of Fusion dinghies, and an RYA Foundation grant to buy the club’s first access boat.

It has be said that John is a leader who will not shy away from taking responsibility and will never give up.

Even this, his retirement year, has been spent applying for emergency grants and contingency planning to ensure the club’s survival through the pandemic.

RYA chief executive Sarah Treseder said: “This year more than ever before we have seen our club volunteers come together and work tirelessly to ensure members can continue to sail.

"The generosity and dedication of each of the RYA Volunteer Award recipients is simply outstanding and it’s a pleasure to be able to recognise these winners through this award."

Will There be a Conan Without Borders Italy Season 2?

December 4, 2018
3 min read

Conan Without Borders is a musical comedy talk show that first premiered on 11th April 2018 on TBS. This new show is produced by Jason Chillemi, Tracy King, Jeff Ross, Mike Sweeney, Sarah Federowicz, Matt O’Brien, and Jordan Schlansky. The previous season was filmed in Florence, Tuscany, Italy. The writing credits go to José Arroyo, Conan O’Brien, Frank Smiley, Jessie Gaskell, Matt O’Brien, and Mike Sweeney. The series centers around Conan who explores numerous locations in the country. Conan has given a new twist to this show by bringing along Jordan Schlansky. They visit various places, meet new people, take road trips, eat Italian delicacies, explore new cultures and more.

In each episode, Conan takes a tour to numerous spots of Florence and Naples. He travels in luxury in his rented vintage 1962 Fiat and takes a road trip via Chianti wine country. In the previous season, he visited the hilltop Tuscan town of Cortona where Jordan got honored by the mayor, and Conan also got a chance to give a guest appearance on the famous soap opera of Italy. The viewers will have great fun and enjoy watching this series thoroughly. He captures various places and provides in-depth information that the viewers have never explored before.

Conan Without Borders: Italy Cast: Who is in it?

Conan O’Brien is expected to return as the host in Conan Without Borders: Italy. Jordan Schlansky is the Associate Producer who is also expected to accompany Conan in the upcoming season. The other cast includes Chiara Leonini is a Fèlsina Export Manager, Valentina Pace is an Actress, José Arroyo is a Writer, Francesca Basanieri is the Mayor of Cortona and Giosue de Falco is the Director.

Conan Without Borders: Italy Plot: What is it about?

Conan Without Borders: Italy series follows a journey to various cities in the country. He explores the beauty of the country with special guest Jordan Schlansky. He has made to various countries like South Korea, Mexico, Armenia, Israel, Haiti, Germany and more. In each travel episode, he is always in a light mood and makes his viewers laugh with his witty jokes. His every episode honors the prestigious sites of the countries. He also learns about new cultures while exploring the foreign lands. In the previous season, Conan and Jordan attended an Italian language class. In one of the episodes, they went truffle hunting. The setup of the previous season was great as well where they both got immersed in a new culture. “Clearly going to Haiti was in response to something that happened, but most of what we tried to do there was be funny. And the same thing in Mexico, and the same thing in Cuba. My favorite moments from those shows aren’t overtly political. They’re just human,” he says.

Conan Without Borders: Italy Season 2 Release Date: When will it premiere?

Viewers have really loved the duo of Conan and Jordan in the previous season and will be expecting them to return together in the upcoming season as they visit another country. Given its popularity with the audience, Conan Without Borders is destined to return soon. We can’t help but wonder which country they will visit next. Though, we are not sure if they will return to Italy again. So, at this point, Conan Without Borders Italy season 2 doesn’t seem likely.

A Museum commemorating and providing additional information about the Massacre at Wounded Knee. The museum provides information, artifacts, and tours that shed light on what happened at Wounded Knee.

  • Ghost Dance
  • Mass Grave for the Massacred
In the Fall of 1890, the Sioux indians were in the death throes of their nation's legacy. The Native American tribe was being pushed out of the plains by new settlers headed west. Sioux chieftains, listening to the prophecies of a medicine man named Wovoka, believed the dead would soon return to hunt with the living and a tidal wave of new soil would eradicate the white settlers, but only if they performed the "Ghost Dance." The Ghost Dance, seen by settlers through the Winter season, created a frightening representation of indian culture.
After asking for help from Washington, Washington told local military leaders to arrest indian superiors in an attempt to quell a possible uprising. Chief Sitting Bull was killed in a standoff and Chief Big Foot was the next Chief on the list. Big Foot, hearing of the armies plans to capture him, led his tribe southwards to the Pine Ridge Reservation, but was intercepted by American troops on December 28th. Shots were fired as the tribe scrambled to escape, but american forces peppered the indian camp with cannon fire as well as cutting off their means of escape. At the end of the fight, 300 men, women, and children of the Sioux nation lay dead including Big Foot. Scattered fighting followed in the coming months, but this total destruction of the Sioux nation led to the ultimate end of the Indian Wars.

CA David’s debut novel The Blacks of Cape Town follows Zara Black, a Cape Town-born historian, as she traces the history of her family from the first Black in the Mother City − her grandfather − down the bloodline to herself. We meet Zara in an apartment on Bloomfield Avenue, New Jersey. She’s longing for something, missing something on the other side of the Atlantic. She’s running from something, too; something that rings of betrayal, something burdened with regret, something like a curse, handed down like a blood stain from Black to Black, and black to black.

I start reading this book just as being a black in Cape Town has just come into sharp focus. Zara Black is trying to lose herself in a foreign place while attempting to find her family. An envelope, sealed with an official government stamp, questions her father’s “struggle credentials”, and she’s trying to reconcile what she knows of him with what has just come to light. Nelson Mandela has just died and the city is mourning him in its own strange way.

His face is burning in green on the side of the mountain he would stare at from Robben Island. We’re trying to reconcile the fighter, the activist, our flawed inheritance with this empty symbol of reconciliation we’re being told he is. It’s 2013, the centenary of the Native Land Act, and after months of searching, I can’t find anyone who’ll let me sign a lease agreement on this side of the mountain. I, too, am a black in Cape Town, and I know this stain, or something like it, the self-imposed exile of not being white in this place, the paranoia and regret. In the novel, Zara finds refuge somewhere else, but home keeps calling. It’s in a Coltrane song wafting through the window, in the envelope on the desk, and in the constant contact with her cousin back home.

We learn early in the book Zara is writing a paper about Timbuktu Manuscripts. Mention of the manuscripts peppers the book like seasoning, adding context but very little else, acting like a cutesy, quirky best friend in a movie. The paper she is writing is a row of pillars that really doesn’t hold anything up, but it doesn’t entirely let it down either.

In the book, the surname Black is cursed, and perhaps the race is, too. Isaiah Black, the first Black in Cape Town, is also the first betrayer. He turns his back on his race and his black mother. His fair skin allows him to pass for a white man, a white man named Black who leaves a mining town in “the cusp of a pernicious madness” for a new name and a new life in the Cape. The betrayal, like the name, like the blackness, reappears in every generation. In interviews, Davids asserts that book, above being the story of a historian attempting to piece together the fragments of her family, is about race. In an interview with Percy Zvomuya in the Mail & Guardian, she says, “I was trying to speak about race because we haven’t spoken about it. [Perhaps] we are speaking about it [now] but we are not having a direct conversation.” But while attempting to speak directly about race, she also attempts to write a post-race novel.

The discussion about race is not as direct or as pointed as you might expect. When Isaiah becomes a non-black Black, the reader anticipates that this moniker will set the tone of the book, and not the betrayal itself. I’m not certain that this novel is about race, as much as it features it. Does it matter that her dad’s girlfriend was white? That his best friend was black? That both her father, and that girlfriend, ended marrying their “own kind”? Or perhaps the book treats race in the manner in which it appears in real life −. more often as subtle differences, coincidences and happenstance than blatant, explicit incidents.

What is captured amazingly in this brilliantly written debut novel is tension and longing. Davids describes this anxiety in an encounter on a train with stranger.

“As the woman unfurled a crumpled note, the American flag painted on nails that arched over the tips of her fingers, Zara had this question: what was the thing lodged between longing and loathing? That sensation she could feel pressing against her diaphragm that made her despise, even if just a little, all that she missed – her father, her country and even her beloved mother.”

The thing (perhaps the word here is tension) between longing and loathing is the thing that carries this fiction’s tale. It’s the strain drawn tight over oceans and generations, across love and literature. It’s a thing one can’t touch or point to. It’s the intangible truth of being a black in Cape Town.

COAI along with K and D Communications Limited through India Mobile Congress, has addressed a long standing need which was felt especially in South Asia for a platform, which brings the entire ecosystem together and addresses issues which are more pertinent to this part of the world. With over a billion connections the Industry in India achieved a transformative milestone. The idea to locate an International event par excellence in India is both timely and well placed. The world is now looking at affordable access and seamless connectivity for voice and data and with over 25-50 billion connected devices by 2020 , the future is truly here.

The three-day IMC will be held on 27-29 September 2017, at Pragati Maidan, New Delhi and will see participation of government bodies, Telecom Service Providers (TSPs), handset manufacturers, Internet giants, ISPs, Global technology players, AI & VR companies, Mobility leaders, Academia, Start-ups and app providers.

While, announcing the schedule of the event and releasing its logo, Shri Sinha said, “The India Mobile Congress will be the biggest event of the telecom industry and it will bring together all stakeholders from the industry and government on a common platform. It will be an exciting opportunity for all involved to explore and achieve new heights in the world of Information and Communication Technology.

India has a huge market and apart from that, South-East Asia has immense potential.”

Terming it as a “mega event” of the Indian telecom industry, he added, “The annual show will see participation of major players in communications sector from different parts of the world.”

India is on the cusp of a digital revolution and the telecom industry is the backbone to usher in this new era of communication and connectivity which will lie in the palm of the consumer’s hand. The proliferation of data will enable the spread of financial services and improve access to education governance and health services.  The India Mobile Congress brings the best of Mobile, Internet and Technology and is certain to be a must visit event on global calendars.

Poetic Ford Mustang Ad Banned in Great Britain For Promoting 'Unsafe Driving'

Rage against the dying of the light...but at a sensible speed, please.

YouTube | Ford Motor Company

A Ford Mustang commercial featuring shots of stressed-out office workers under a voiceover reading the famous Dylan Thomas poem "Do not go gentle into that good night" has been banned in the United Kingdom after the country's famously strict advertising regulators ruled that it encouraged dangerous driving—despite the fact that the only shot of the car shows it pulling out of a parking garage and driving sedately down a city street.

First reported by the BBC on Wednesday, the action came about after a full 12 people saw the ad and took time out of their day to write a stern note to Britain's Advertising Standards Authority to complain about its content. We recognize that auto manufacturers can sometimes hint at quasi-legal situations in promoting their products—remember the Mercedes-Benz street race Super Bowl ad?—but seriously, take a look at the clip below and see if you can spot the problem here.

The ad was produced by a division of advertising giant WPP called Global Team Blue, who must have thought they had a true hit on their hands with the broody, almost literary vibe. It shows a series of blue-toned urban office drones getting slowly fed up with the mundanity around them; a spilled coffee, a broken printer, an annoying boss, and a crowded elevator are all emblematic of the never-ending grind toward an identical tomorrow. Thomas' words echo in our heads: Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

What they need, what we all need, is eight cylinders of American freedom. The ad ends with a cut to black, followed by a dramatic start-up shot showing an Orange Fury Ford Mustang spring to life in an underground parking garage, briefly rev its engine, then climb the exit ramp and head out into a bright and sunny street. It was shown in movie theaters and on the company's YouTube page earlier this year. Life is rote and dull, but the Mustang is not. Message received.

Except at the ASA, who stepped in following those twelve complaints and ruled that the ad promoted unsafe driving. Both Ford and the country's Cinema Advertising Association appealed their case by arguing that the ad intended "to contrast the everyday frustrations of work life with the freedom of driving a new Ford Mustang." They pointed out that the Mustang never topped 15 mph during filming, that it's a loud car with a rumbling V8, and that the term "rage" in the poem "was not used to communicate anger or aggression, but passion and enthusiasm."

The ASA disagreed, issuing a final ruling this week that officially bans the ad from being shown in its current form anywhere in the United Kingdom. Essentially, the Authority believes that the setup is telling people to vent their anger through driving, "which put[s] the driver, other motorists and pedestrians at risk." It also ruled that the final shot of the Mustang driving up the garage exit ramp was a little too spicy for the British palate.

Ford wasn't the only car company that found itself on the business end of the ASA this week—both Fiat and Nissan also saw commercials nixed for allegedly promoting dangerous driving.

Keep your home safe this holiday season!

Keep Your Home Safe this Holiday Season!

What exciting trips does this holiday month have in store for you and your family? Amusement parks, ski towns, beaches or maybe just last minute trips to the mall for gifts! If you plan to take a vacation around the Christmas Holiday this year, or visit family and stay over, here are some tips for keeping your home safe and sound while you’re away.

Keep a couple lights on!

            The illusion that you’re home is more helpful than you know! It doesn’t have to drain your electric bill either. Just put a couple electric candles in the windows, turn a lamp on in the living room or leave a porch light on. Just something that doesn’t scream “we’re away” like a completely dark home does. Make the appearance of people and you’ll be able to rest easier on your adventures and time spent with loved ones.

Lock it up!

            Invest in a new smart home locking system if you’re worried about older locks. There are a lot of systems to choose from so ask your neighbors what they use. Perhaps you’d even like to install an alarm security system as well! Talk to your realtor for ideas. They might have a trusted company they can recommend.

Leave a car in the driveway!

            To keep up with the theme of making it look like someone’s home, leave one car in the driveway. If you’re taking one but have a second, forgo the garage. It might deter unwanted visitors if they think you are right inside. None of us want to think of the possibility of a break in, especially when we’re focused on giving this holiday. However, you’ll relax and unwind knowing you did all you could to protect your family’s home and valuables.

Give yourself a break from posting online!

            One sure way to protect yourself is not to broadcast travel plans on your social media outlets. Private message family and friends if they need to know travel plans or that you’ve arrived somewhere safely. But no need to publish publically that you’ve left for three weeks! And maybe save the majority of your posting of that lovely beach house or Grandma’s house until you’ve returned.

Invest in a safe!

            If you don’t already have one, consider putting a safe on your list this year. Lock away the valuable jewelry, documents, and heirlooms. Get a water proof and fire-proof one while you’re at it. Doesn’t hurt to have one of these in the case of any emergency like fire or flood as well. It also helps with organization if you have all the birth certificates, social security and other important documents in one place, especially in the event of an evacuation for hurricane or natural disaster. You won’t waste precious time searching for those documents.

Create a list! And check it twice!

            Spend just a few minutes creating a list of valuables, heirlooms and electronics. Make your list on a computer so you can just add to it or delete as needed. This way when you leave your hotel or mother-in-law’s house, you can verify you have everything you brought and when you get home do a quick walk-through to ensure everything is safe and sound.

Protect your home while away so you can fully unwind into the holiday spirit and create wonderful memories with family and friends!

A rare and extremely old manuscript by a beloved Persian poet will head to auction.

The gold-illuminated Divan of Hafez, dated to 1462, had disappeared from a book dealer’s collection and was only just recovered late last year.

The Guardian reports that the dealer’s heirs plan to put the manuscript on the auction block on April 1, with an estimated sale price of £80,000 to £120,000 (about $104,150 to $156,200).

It’s one of the earliest copies of the Divan — whose author, Hafez, died in 1390 — and is adorned with gold and calligraphy.

You can admire the Divan in the Guardian.

Biggest analysis to date reveals huge footprint of livestock - it provides just 18% of calories but takes up 83% of farmland

Avoiding meat and dairy products is the single biggest way to reduce your environmental impact on the planet, according to the scientists behind the most comprehensive analysis to date of the damage farming does to the planet.

The new research shows that without meat and dairy consumption, global farmland use could be reduced by more than 75% – an area equivalent to the US, China, European Union and Australia combined – and still feed the world. Loss of wild areas to agriculture is the leading cause of the current mass extinction of wildlife.

The new analysis shows that while meat and dairy provide just 18% of calories and 37% of protein, it uses the vast majority – 83% – of farmland and produces 60% of agriculture’s greenhouse gas emissions. Other recent research shows 86% of all land mammals are now livestock or humans. The scientists also found that even the very lowest impact meat and dairy products still cause much more environmental harm than the least sustainable vegetable and cereal growing.

Meat and dairy

The study, published in the journal Science, created a huge dataset based on almost 40,000 farms in 119 countries and covering 40 food products that represent 90% of all that is eaten. It assessed the full impact of these foods, from farm to fork, on land use, climate change emissions, freshwater use and water pollution (eutrophication) and air pollution (acidification).

“A vegan diet is probably the single biggest way to reduce your impact on planet Earth, not just greenhouse gases, but global acidification, eutrophication, land use and water use,” said Joseph Poore, at the University of Oxford, UK, who led the research. “It is far bigger than cutting down on your flights or buying an electric car,” he said, as these only cut greenhouse gas emissions.

“Agriculture is a sector that spans all the multitude of environmental problems,” he said. “Really it is animal products that are responsible for so much of this. Avoiding consumption of animal products delivers far better environmental benefits than trying to purchase sustainable meat and dairy.”

The analysis also revealed a huge variability between different ways of producing the same food. For example, beef cattle raised on deforested land result in 12 times more greenhouse gases and use 50 times more land than those grazing rich natural pasture. But the comparison of beef with plant protein such as peas is stark, with even the lowest impact beef responsible for six times more greenhouse gases and 36 times more land.

Greenhouse gas emissions for meat, dairy and pulses

The large variability in environmental impact from different farms does present an opportunity for reducing the harm, Poore said, without needing the global population to become vegan. If the most harmful half of meat and dairy production was replaced by plant-based food, this still delivers about two-thirds of the benefits of getting rid of all meat and dairy production.

Cutting the environmental impact of farming is not easy, Poore warned: “There are over 570m farms all of which need slightly different ways to reduce their impact. It is an [environmental] challenge like no other sector of the economy.” But he said at least $500bn is spent every year on agricultural subsidies, and probably much more: “There is a lot of money there to do something really good with.”

Labels that reveal the impact of products would be a good start, so consumers could choose the least damaging options, he said, but subsidies for sustainable and healthy foods and taxes on meat and dairy will probably also be necessary.

One surprise from the work was the large impact of freshwater fish farming, which provides two-thirds of such fish in Asia and 96% in Europe, and was thought to be relatively environmentally friendly. “You get all these fish depositing excreta and unconsumed feed down to the bottom of the pond, where there is barely any oxygen, making it the perfect environment for methane production,” a potent greenhouse gas, Poore said.

The research also found grass-fed beef, thought to be relatively low impact, was still responsible for much higher impacts than plant-based food. “Converting grass into [meat] is like converting coal to energy. It comes with an immense cost in emissions,” Poore said.

The new research has received strong praise from other food experts. Prof Gidon Eshel, at Bard College, US, said: “I was awestruck. It is really important, sound, ambitious, revealing and beautifully done.”

He said previous work on quantifying farming’s impacts, including his own, had taken a top-down approach using national level data, but the new work used a bottom-up approach, with farm-by-farm data. “It is very reassuring to see they yield essentially the same results. But the new work has very many important details that are profoundly revealing.”

Prof Tim Benton, at the University of Leeds, UK, said: “This is an immensely useful study. It brings together a huge amount of data and that makes its conclusions much more robust. The way we produce food, consume and waste food is unsustainable from a planetary perspective. Given the global obesity crisis, changing diets – eating less livestock produce and more vegetables and fruit – has the potential to make both us and the planet healthier.”

Dr Peter Alexander, at the University of Edinburgh, UK, was also impressed but noted: “There may be environmental benefits, eg for biodiversity, from sustainably managed grazing and increasing animal product consumption may improve nutrition for some of the poorest globally. My personal opinion is we should interpret these results not as the need to become vegan overnight, but rather to moderate our [meat] consumption.”

Poore said: “The reason I started this project was to understand if there were sustainable animal producers out there. But I have stopped consuming animal products over the last four years of this project. These impacts are not necessary to sustain our current way of life. The question is how much can we reduce them and the answer is a lot.”

In a frantic middle of the night phone call, Carlos Marmol begged GM Jed Hoyer to take him back to the Cubs after the reliever was cut by the Dodgers less than 24 hours after being traded.

“About 3:15 this morning, just as I finished checking the Japanese and Korean Leagues’ waiver wires, my cell phone rang,” Hoyer told “I figured it might have been just another drunken rant from one of our players, but it was Marmol begging me to take him back to the team.”

Sensing Marmol was in total desperation, Hoyer said he was able to get the former Cubs closer to agree to return to the team taking no salary for the remainder of the season.

“Carlos was really doinked out, so I put the screws to him. Now that’s the new Cub way.”

Hoyer will meet today with Theo Epstein and Dale Sveum to discuss the situation.

“I’m not sure what we’ll do,” said Hoyer. “However, we might consider putting him in the current roles that Sean Camp and James Russell are filling, which is coming into a game in the seventh inning, loading the bases and giving up 5 or 6 runs.”

Be entered into a drawing for a weeklong stay in Mexico when you pledge as an NCRF Angel

The Angels Program continues to be the most impactful component of the National Court Reporters Foundation’s annual campaign, as it supports four key initiatives that are advancing the court reporting and captioning professions:

“My love for our profession began when I was about five years old and taught myself how to play the piano. I loved the language of music! Then I learned another language, that of stenography; music to my ears that enabled me to share this amazing art with the hard-of-hearing and deaf in courtroom settings. What we do through the National Court Reporters Foundation helps ensure that our noble profession continues to be vibrant and relevant today, tomorrow, and into the future. Being an NCRF Angel keeps our amazing art thriving,” said Debra Cheyne, NCRF Trustee, Angel, and Chair of Angels Committee.

Angels who pledge or sign up for recurring donations by Aug. 29 will be entered into a drawing for a weeklong stay at their choice of one of three Mexican resorts in Cabo San Lucas, Puerto Vallarta, or Nuevo Vallarta, generously donated by Angel and Angels Committee member Denise Paternoster.

Sign up online or by filling out a 2019 Pledge Letter.

“Please support the NCRF, the National Court Reporters Foundation, by contributing to the future of court reporting and captioning. Being an Angel makes a substantial difference in the programs and our efforts going forward to address the issues our profession is experiencing. Offering your financial support to NCRF as an Angel also continues the support of the programs we have led for many years: The Veterans History Project, the education of attorneys in Making the Record, and new professional and student scholarships. Be an Angel!” said Sandy VanderPol, FAPR, RMR, CRR, NCRF Trustee & Angel.

Canadian Islamic converts were 'inspired' by Boston bombings in terror plot

The couple targeted a packed Canada Day celebration with their pressure-cooker bombs.

A jury found a Canadian couple guilty of plotting to set off pressure-cooker bombs outside British Columbia’s provincial legislature two years ago on Canada Day, when thousands of people were expected to be there.

The jury in Vancouver began deliberating on Sunday morning and returned their verdict late yesterday against John Nuttall and Amanda Korody.

They found the two recent converts to Islam guilty of conspiracy to commit murder and making or possessing an explosive device.

The judge last month had entered a ruling of not guilty to another charge of knowingly facilitating a terrorist activity, citing unspecified legal reasons.

The couple were arrested in July 2013 after police accused them of attempting to target the July 1 Canada Day celebrations in Victoria.

Three home-made pressure-cooker bombs were placed outside the legislature before crowds gathered, but undercover police officers had already ensured they were inert by using fake explosives.

Police said the two were inspired by Al-Qaida ideology but were self-radicalised. Police called it a domestic threat.

It was not clear what maximum sentence the couple faces because in an unusual twist, the conviction won’t be entered until next week, after the defence has a chance to argue that police entrapped the couple into the plot during an elaborate undercover sting operation.

They weren’t entrapped,” Prosecutor Peter Eccles said outside court. ”It was done using old-fashioned undercover police investigation technique.”

A holy war

Jurors watched countless hours of video evidence collected as part of a lengthy Royal Canadian Mounted Police sting that involved undercover officers with supposed terrorist connections befriending the pair.

Video and audio surveillance showed the pair discussing their ambitions to engage in holy war against the Western world for perceived injustices against Muslims.

On the recordings played in court, the pair was heard saying that they believed killing women and children was acceptable so long as they weren’t explicitly targeted in the attack but rather died as collateral damage.

At numerous points in the surveillance recordings, Nuttall could be heard describing the Boston Marathon bombing as inspirational but also amateurish, and that he hoped his attack would kill hundreds.

Pressure-cooker bombs placed at the Marathon finish line in April 2013 killed three people and injured more than 260.

Defense lawyers argued that undercover police officers had played a heavy-handed role in encouraging the couple to go ahead with the plot.

Nuttall’s lawyer Marilyn Sandford accused the key undercover officer involved in the RCMP sting of using the threat of disappointing Allah to frighten her client into hatching a viable plot for jihad.

The last few days have been both joyful and exhausting. With a stomach the size of a grape and her metabolism the fastest it is going to be in her life, Maren needs to eat every 2-3 hours. We have transitioned nicely to home and mom and dad are getting enough sleep, just in short bursts!

She is adorable, funny, and awesome. Check out the photos below :)

Bombs hurled in Meghalaya cement factory

Bombs hurled in Meghalaya cement factory

SHILLONG: Suspected militants on Thursday attacked a cement factory with crude bombs partially damaging the building in North Garo Hills district of Meghalaya, police said.

No one was injured in the incident, SP Ramesh Singh said.

At least five heavily armed men entered the Virgo cement factory at Damas at around 2 am through the second gate and asked the security personnel in the sentry post to open the main gate door, the SP told a news agency.

After they exploded one crude bomb inside the sentry post causing partial damage, another crude bomb was lobbed in the open place before escaping, Singh said.

Preliminary investigation revealed the involvement of A'chik Matgrik Elite Force (AMEF) militants, he said. (Agencies)
