ELY – The Ely School Board voted 4-2 on Monday night to table or delay making a decision on allowing the construction of a 50,000-square-foot recreation center on school property.
ELY – The Ely School Board voted 4-2 on Monday night to table or delay making a decision on allowing the construction of a 50,000-square-foot recreation center on school property.
A standing-room-only crowd filled the high school media center to witness what they thought was the making of an up or down decision on moving ahead with partnering with the Ely Regional Community Complex (ERCC) board to explore the feasibility of a financially-viable plan for locating the facility on the west end of the school campus.
As many as 17 people voiced their opinion during the open forum portion of the meeting. After more than an hour of testimony, only three people, who just happen to be members of the ERCC board, expressed favorable views for the idea.
Fourteen people told the board in various ways that locating the recreational center on the school campus was a bad idea for taxpayers, the community, and the students of ISD 696.
School board member Tom Omerza attempted to amend the motion to allow the board to get more information in order to agree on specific terms and conditions before voting on the matter at a later time.
Board chair Ray Marsnik, clearly irritated at Omerza's 11th-hour attempt to change the wording of the motion, said he would have appreciated bringing up the wording changes before the meeting. "This motion was put on the agenda, and I myself have studied this long enough," he said. "I've been looking at this for more than a year. What you are suggesting here is kicking this down the street."
The motion to change the wording of the motion was defeated by a 3-3 vote.
The original motion said, "Moved by (blank), seconded by (blank), if the Ely Regional Community Complex (ERCC) delivers a financially viable plan to construct, support and sustain its project consisting of a pool, gymnasium, fitness center and other spaces outlined in its proposal, without encumbering School District bonding or other funds, except for a fee for service/usage basis, is the School Board of Independent School District 696 willing to allow its construction on existing school district property?"
Several members of the community chose to voice their opinions on the ERCC concept. Many of the comments centered on the financial viability and sustainability of a recreational center in a town of Ely's size. At least one resident asked about state bonding specifics and who would actually "own" the recreational facility. Another wondered why a community should pay more in property taxes to support a tax-exempt facility.
Many Ely community members have rallied around the competitive nature and financial impact of a recreational complex on existing fitness-related businesses in town.
Nichole Boitz, owner of Studio North Fitness Center, spoke about the effect the ERCC would have on her 19-year business. "In a small business, every dollar counts," she said. "The community was told the proposal would not duplicate or compete with existing businesses. The plan has drastically changed. Their goal is to operate like a YMCA or a non-profit government-subsidized organization using taxpayers' state bonding money."
She asked what such a facility would do to existing businesses in Ely. "This means the slow, painful demise, or a very quick (demise), both with the same end result: loss of several businesses, loss of hundreds of thousands of tax dollars, loss of an established fitness center, loss of community projects and outreach programs,and loss of a dance program that has involved more than 3,000 Ely youth."
She added that all of those benefits would be taken away using taxpayers' dollars through state bonding money. The ERCC proposal calls for applying for as much as $5 million in state borrowing. "There will also be a loss of economic development. I caution you not to put the school district and the community in financial risk. Ely is a huge proponent of small businesses. What kind of message would this send to the community if we don't embrace and encourage that?" she asked.
Boitz said she was in favor of the construction of a privately-funded pool on private property. "I would be open and supportive of dual memberships," she said. "I would also be supportive if the school district would reach out to the community for expansion of gym space on school property. Let's utilize the taxpayers' state bonding money for much needed infrastructure."
Ely Memorial High School senior Emma Larson followed Boitz and talked about the impact Studio North has had on her life. "I've been dancing at Studio North since I was two years old and I can't stress enough the way Studio North, and Nicole specifically, has changed my life in such a positive way," she said.
"Through dancing at Studio North, the most important things I have gained are self esteem, communication skills and how to push through the hard situations," Larson said. "Studio North is my safe place."
She described her fear of the Ely community losing the popular dance studio. "If the proposed ERCC is built, business will be taken away from the gym at Studio North, which would also put the dance studio out of business. This facility is such a great asset to our community and I can't grasp the idea of it not being here."
Larson also questioned the issue of maintaining safety at the school campus with the ERCC building adjacent to the school buildings. "I would not feel safe going to gym class in a building that any person in the community had access to. Shouldn't your priority be student safety?"
Former Ely mayor and St. Louis County Planning Commission Chair Roger Skraba questioned the zoning ramifications of locating the ERCC on school property. "The property is zoned P-1. Our city code would allow that, but the issue that I have is if a day care is opened in it or if retail is brought in, that is not allowed," he said.
Skraba also questioned the parking issue. "You are going to need 250 parking spaces, minimum. These are zoning issues that you are going to be part of in this decision-making process," he said.
ERCC Board member Todd Heiman urged the school board to vote to "partner" with the ERCC board to determine whether it is feasible for the ERCC to be located on school grounds. "During this process, either party may determine that it is not feasible and stop the process," he said. "The primary and fundamental reason we ask you to consider our proposal to locate the ERCC on school grounds is for the children of our community. We envision children flooding into the facility at the end of the school day. We picture them participating in open gym, open swim, team practices, and activities in the after-school lounge like doing homework with friends and working on computers."
Ely Police Chief John Lahtonen said he was concerned with the traffic congestion problems that exist around the school, already. "Building the rec center there would only make the situation more dangerous," he said. He also voiced his concerns with other safety issues involved with allowing the public to be on school property.
Under the old business portion of the meeting, school board member Scott Kellerman made a motion to approve the ERCC motion as stated. The motion was supported by Omerza.
Board member James Pointer said he did not agree with the wording of the motion. "It is important that we look at these other questions," he said.
Omerza expressed a desire to take the time to work out such issues as safety concerns and business competition. "I would like to further this so we can get specifics," he said.
Marsnik reiterated his opinion that the ERCC proposal has been put on hold long enough to get more information. "We had a study session last month where the board agreed to put this up for a vote in December," he said. "I've been giving this much thought for the last year. I've talked to people, visited the Grand Marais complex, and listened to my constituents. I did my homework on this."
He said he "found it very rare" for a school district to open a recreational complex on its own land. "It is rarer yet for a school district to lease land to a private business," he said. "The role of a school board is to educate kids, and to provide and maintain the buildings necessary to do that. I don't think the (school) board should be getting into the recreational business. That falls into the hands of the city."
According to Marsnik, the school administrative team believes the present facilities are adequate for handling physical education offerings. "The athletic director feels we could use more space for our after-school activities," he said.
"My second concern is the financial or legal liabilities for this district," Marsnik added. I refuse to do anything to jeopardize this district."
Board member Scott Kellerman, who made the motion to vote on the ERCC proposal, said, "We can always change our minds," he said. "If we want more time to study the issues and the ERCC (board) can wait, I don't see why can't accommodate that."
Kellerman rescinded his motion, with support from Omerza, and made a new motion to table the issue. The vote was tabled on a 4-2 vote with Marsnik and Rochelle Sjoberg voting no.

We have specialists in many areas, make an appointment today
If an allegation of sexual assault has been made against you, the allegation will have a devastating effect upon you and your family. It will be a difficult and distressing situation to deal with, especially if the allegation is untrue. The facts of a sexual assault allegation will always be personal in nature and may be complex in detail, they can have long lasting consequences not only for you but also for your family.
What should I do if I am accused of a sexual assault.
There is no time limit placed on an accuser to make an allegation of sexual assault, although most allegations of this nature are made near to the time of the alleged assault, some allegations are made after a short period of reflection and some allegations are made after a considerable period of time has elapsed, the latter are known as historical sexual offences. Once informed of an allegation of a sexual nature, regardless of when the offence took place, the police will always take the allegation seriously and are obliged to investigate thoroughly.
Once the allegation has been made, irrespective of when the sexual assault is said to have taken place, the police will seek to obtain evidence of the offence, this is done by a video interview with the complainant and if the allegation relates to a recent assault, samples will be obtained. If you are aware of the allegation, under no circumstances should you make contact with the complainant.
The police, upon receiving the complaint may seek to arrest you without notice. Should you be arrested, you are entitled to be represented by a solicitor at the police station, under no circumstances should you agree to be interviewed without legal representation.
In some circumstances the police may wish to speak to you on a voluntary basis, again the first step is to contact a criminal defence solicitor who can open the lines of communication with the officer and arrange a mutually convenient time to attend the police station for the interview to take place.
Obtaining expert legal advice quickly is important because a solicitor can give you the support and guidance that you will require at this difficult time. All advice at the police station is free and confidential.
We at Elliot Mather LLP represent clients who have been accused of sexual assault. We act in a professional, confidential and diligent manner, we do everything in our professional ability to secure the best possible outcome in all cases. If you have been accused of a sexual offence, contact us to see how we can assist
Why do I need a solicitor
A criminal defence solicitor is used to dealing with the police and other agencies in offences such as these. A solicitor will be able to open up lines of communication with the officer in the case and obtain details of the facts as related by the complainant, once that information has been obtained, a solicitor will be able to relay this information to you so that you are aware of the substance of the allegation prior to the interview being conducted. The advantage of instructing a solicitor is that you will have the benefit of disclosure and will not be taken by surprise during the interview, there is no such duty of disclosure if you decide to be interviewed unrepresented.
The nature of the allegation means that the investigation will be thorough and all aspects of the allegation will be explored by the police, this means there could be a considerable delay before a disposal is sought. We at Elliot Mather LLP will continue to be proactive. We will continue to engage with you and liaise with the police and CPS. If further information comes to light that we can present on your behalf that will support your case, we will do so at the earliest opportunity.
If you have children, or if you live with a partner who has children, the police will inform Social Services. This is normal procedure and they will wish to speak to you and your family, this will be done outside of the police station and our expert child care solicitors will be able to assist with issues that arise in respect of the children.

Afternoon Nap
However, today, she volunteered taking a nap. Yes, even though she slept until sometime after 10am, she went upstairs about 2pm, brought down her blanket and a pillow, laid on the living room floor and told me she was just going to rest her eyes for a couple of minutes. Those couple of minutes have turned into more than an hour and a half nap so far (as I write this, she's still sleeping).
So cute, but I hope this does not mean that she is getting sick like Ella has been. Ella ran a fever for two days this week.

CIO Bulletin
Facebook has launched an app called Lasso where users can create short and fun videos, targeted mainly for teenagers. With Lasso, Facebook is venturing out to win over teens who don't use the social networking app anymore after major scandals and data leaks.
Lasso is also Facebook's competitive app against TikTok. Recently, TikTok merged with Musically scoring lot of users. Similar to TikTok, people can upload videos which they can shoot themselves. Videos of dancing or lip syncing to songs, etc are popular video titbits. Lasso also has many categories like beauty, fitness, DIY, baking, etc.
Lasso can be logged in through Instagram or a new account can be created through Facebook. The software will again require you to allow access to your profile page, uploaded videos, and photos. Once successfully logged in, you can check out short videos uploaded by others. The videos autoplay as you scroll through them.
Interestingly, there's already a lot of short video content uploaded on Lasso although the app is just launching. Also what's queer is Facebook's lack of bash at the launch of a new app. There hasn't been any official statement released by the company on their website. The news is circulating only through Lasso's product manager, Bowen Pan's tweet saying, "Today, my team launched Lasso, a new video app that lets you create short, fun videos and share them with friends."

For the first time in 8 years, the Hangout Festival will be offering single day tickets to hear the world's most popular musical acts on stage at Gulf Shores Public Beach.
The single day tickets, priced at $149, are on sale now at hangoutmusicfest.com. General admission weekend passes ($299), and VIP ($1,099) and Super VIP ($1,699) weekend passes are also still available. The VIP experience, always the first to sell out, includes pool-side and jacuzzi-side views of the main stage, and complimentary food, beer, wine and cocktails all weekend.
While approving the assembly permit for the 10th annual gathering, set for May 16-19 at Gulf Place, the City of Gulf Shores also approved a 5,000 increase of capacity for the fest, bringing it up to a total of 45,000.
Last year was the fest's first year following the $11 million re-design of Gulf Place.
"We worked very closely with folks from the Hangout Music Festival to try to the best of our ability manage how they would like to see the site flow for their guests and their patrons for safety, security and the experience for the customers. Last year we thought the site worked really well opened up,'' Director of Recreation and Cultural Activities Director Grant Brown said.
"Adding an additional 5,000 tickets we feel is very doable and will not create any safety issues within the site,'' Brown added.
Hangout Fest organizers will submit a list of sponsors and vendors working on the site, its security plan, proof of insurance and a city reimbursement letter before April 1.
"This is so the revenue department can make sure that the licensing and the permitting and everything is handled well in advance to make sure taxes are collected and all the information is shared," Brown said.
Hangout Fest hours will be from 5-11 p.m. on May 6 and the following three days from 11 a.m. – 11 p.m. with fireworks starting nightly about 10:45 p.m. Organizers have until May 22 to break down the fest.
Festival headliners include The Lumineers, Kygo, Cardi B, Travis Scott, Diplo, The 1975, Walk The Moon, Bebe Rexha, Jimmy Eat World, Jungle, and Alison Wonderland. The Red Clay Strays are this year's locally based presence.
Cardi B, the Bronx-born rapper, made history earlier this year, becoming the first solo female rapper to win a Grammy for Best Rap Album in the category's 20-plus year history. Shke was nominated for seven awards across major categories.
Billed as a music vacation, Hangout Fest is an immersive musical experiences that makes it unique on the festival circuit. Patrons can swim in the Gulf, relax in comfort at Hammock Beach, find dog love at the Puppy Kissing Booth, or make their love official – at least for the weekend – at the Wedding Chapel. Organizers will ring back the tremendously popular full-sized roller rink again this year.
Big Gigantic, A Boogie Wit Da Hoodie, Camelphat and SNBRN will all play sets during the tablesetting Thursday night kick-off party. Tickets on Thursday are $55. Admission is included with VIP and Super VIP tickets.

Thomaz Farkas: Memories and Discoveries
Luciana Brito Galeria is pleased to be the first gallery to represent (since 2013) and now to hold a solo show of Thomaz Farkas. His career has been focused by several solo and anthological group shows through varied biases since the 40's, besides a major work on research and preservation held by Instituto Moreira Salles since 2007. However, this selection curated by Sergio Burgi and João Farkas, have densified an unprecedentedly wide panorama of the artist's oeuvre. Its segments – dedicated to his production as a photographer, filmmaker, and cultural entrepreneur – puts together early works (featuring an unpublished series, from his famous essays with dancers shot in 1946), films (his later interest in documentary cinema drove him to start the Caravana Farkas, an iconic series depicting Brazilian culture), documents. A rare color series will also be exhibited.
Thomaz Farkas is one of the leading names in modern Brazilian photography, alongside artists such as Gaspar Gasparian and Geraldo de Barros. He created his first authorial series in 1942, upon joining Foto Cine Clube Bandeirante, of which Farkas would become one of the foremost members. The group created works relating to the advances in the then-modern art of photography, and is considered a pioneer of the language in Brazil. Departing from pictorialism and from photography based on traditional painting genres (portrait, landscape etc.), the artists focused on aspects of the photographic medium itself, distancing themselves from the treatment of photographs as mere reproductions.
Born in Budapest (1924) and based in São Paulo since age 6, Thomaz Farkas was the son of the founder of Fotoptica, a pioneering photographic equipment retail company in Brazil. He had his first solo show in 1949, at the São Paulo Museum of Modern Art. In that same year, the photographer's work was shortlisted for a show at the MoMA in New York, which also purchased seven of his pieces. Farkas was voted on four different occasions to represent Brazil at the Photographic Society of America. He was responsible for the establishing of the departments of photography at MASP and the MAM. In addition to the Museum of Modern Art in New York, the photographer's work is part of the collections of the São Paulo State Art Gallery (Pinacoteca), Maison Européene de la Photographie and Moreira Salles Institute (which dedicated an anthology book to him in 2010-11), among other organizations. Farkas died in São Paulo, in 2011.
As part of the exhibition, a series of public programs (talks and meetings) will be taking place, and a comprehensive catalogue edited and designed by Kiko Farkas will be launched.

run? walk? weak?
My own strength is insufficient to deal with the many situations that I face. God never intended for you or me to operate out of our own strength. In fact, many times scripture reminds us that God is our refuge and our strength.
"He gives power to the tired and worn out, and strength to the weak… But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength. They shall mount up with wings like eagles; they shall run and not be weary; they shall walk and not faint." (Isaiah 40:29, 31 TLB)
"The Lord God is my strength,
And He has made my feet like hinds' feet,
And makes me walk on my high places." (Habakkuk 3:19 NASB)
There are times when God pours into us strength in abundance and we seem to run the race before us. (Hebrews 12:1) There are other times when God give us strength bit by bit so that we can walk in His statutes (Lev 26:3) and walk in love (Eph 5:2) leaning on Him every step of the way.
One thing is for certain, He will give us the strength we need when we need it. He is in control and He is for us. (Psalm 118:6)
So as you face situations that seem daunting, trials that seem to never end, heartache, or health issues remember where your strength comes from. Spend time today talking with God and casting your cares. (1 Peter 5:7)
In my weakness, He is strong!

Florida Man, The Country Depends On You
Florida man has been getting into a lot of trouble lately. He's been busy making the news quite a bit in recent hours, days, and weeks, compared to the men of other states. But Tuesday's Presidential Election is extremely important and the country is in no small part depending on Florida to go blue. In fact, it's a chance for Florida man to redeem himself. With that, I think all is forgiven, Florida man, if you just vote Hillary Clinton's way.
In case you missed it, Florida man is the guy all the local news headlines refer to — he's the bizarre Floridian who always seems to be getting into something unusual. He's just your average guy, who seems to have a lot of time for strange happenings around the state. For instance, Florida man made the rounds this week. He developed hepatitis from drinking too many energy drinks, he spit on a police officer, he stuffed pizza and cinnamon sticks in his mouth to avoid paying for them, and on Tuesday, he went to the polls and knew his rights after being turned away from his polling location.
Florida is an important swing state in this year's election. Both Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton and Republican nominee Donald Trump have spent a significant amount of time and energy campaigning in the Sunshine State. As the polls across the state continue to close and the votes begin to roll in, this is Florida man's last chance to redeem himself and swing that state blue.
Early projections suggested that Clinton could win enough electoral votes for an early presidential victory if she won all the states she was projected to win, in addition to Arizona, Florida, Georgia, New Hampshire, North Carolina, and Ohio, which the New York Times referred to as "competitive states." The presidential race in Florida has been close, and as the numbers continue to come in from the state, Clinton and Trump are running significantly tight races within a single percentage point.
Clinton has the potential to win the election without Florida too. If she loses in the state, Trump would still have to win Arizona, North Carolina, Nevada, and Ohio.
Even so, Florida man, if you're out there, we understand you like to get into a lot of wild activities on an average day, and if you're so inclined, you can get back to your busy life tomorrow. We just want you to know, we will consider forgiving you for some of the stuff you've gotten yourself into lately if you just help your state turn blue today.

Rolex 24, Hour 2: Acura takes early lead from AXR
Acura Team Penske held the advantage after two hours in the 57th running of the Rolex 24 at Daytona, as Juan Pablo Montoya surged to the front of the order early on.
Montoya's #6 Acura ARX-05 passed Oliver Jarvis's polesitting #77 Mazda RT24-P for the lead shortly after the first round of pitstops half an hour into the race, with Ricky Taylor also passing Jarvis to make it an Acura 1-2 early on.
Jarvis fought back to take second just after the one-hour mark, and briefly repassed Montoya for the lead before slipping to third behind both the Colombian and the #5 Action Express Cadillac of Filipe Albuquerque prior to the first full-course yellow of the race, which was triggered by an engine blow-up for the #99 NGT Motorsport Porsche.
That prompted the entire DPi field to come into the pits, with Montoya handing over the reins of the #6 Acura to Dane Cameron shortly before the two-hour mark.
The #31 AXR Cadillac, which Felipe Nasr handed over to Eric Curran under caution, jumped up to second amid the reshuffle, ahead of the #77 Mazda, now in the hands of Audi DTM ace Rene Rast.
Helio Castroneves, taking over from Taylor, was fourth in the #7 Acura, while Olivier Pla was fifth in the #55 Mazda.
Fernando Alonso climbed aboard the #10 Wayne Taylor Racing Cadillac at the same time, replacing Jordan Taylor at the wheel, and was eighth behind the best of the JDC-Miller Caddys and the Juncos Racing car after two hours.
The #5 AXR Cadillac dropped back to ninth after replacing the rear deck due to a rear light problem.
There was early drama for the CORE autosport Nissan, which suffered a dramatic right-rear puncture on the banking while Jon Bennett was at the wheel. Bennett recovered the car to the pits to hand over to Romain Dumas, who picked up a penalty for pitlane speeding.
LMP2 was led by James Allen in the #18 DragonSpeed Oreca-Gibson, ahead of Ryan Cullen in the sister #81 car.
GTLM: Ford leads Porsche
In GT Le Mans, Ford led after two hours as a result of Joey Hand pitting the #66 car shortly before the full-course yellow.
Poleman Nick Tandy had built a comfortable lead prior to the caution period in the #911 Porsche 911 RSR, but Patrick Pilet ran in third just behind the lead Corvette C7.R of Tommy Milner.
James Calado spun the Risi Competizione Ferrari on the oil left by the #99 Porsche but continued, with the #62 car holding fourth ahead of the top BMW M8 GTE of Alex Zanardi.
Both Ford and Corvette suffered early issues, with the #67 machine losing five laps behind the pit wall early on and the #3 Corvette having to fix front damage under caution.
Porsche's #912 car also lost ground as Earl Bamber made two unscheduled stops, the second due to a splitter problem.
GT Daytona was led by the #11 Grasser Racing Lamborghini after two hours, but Rik Breukers was due to serve a 3m40s penalty for violating the wave-by procedure under the full-course yellow.
Second at that stage was the #12 AIM Vasser-Sullivan Lexus of Townsend Bell, followed by the #29 Land Motorsport Audi of Christopher Mies in third.

By Jim Bleyer
Tallahassee's lightning-rod mayor, Andrew Gillum, calmly continued to lead his city back to normalcy Wednesday, five days after Hurricane Hermine unleashed her fury on Florida's Big Bend.
With work crews deployed around the clock, electricity was restored to 92 percent of residences as of 11 a.m. Gillum and the city commission Tuesday agreed to review the municipal utility's response to the storm and devise strategies to strengthen local hurricane preparedness and infrastructure.
The mayor's cool demeanor, diplomacy, and actions stood in sharp contrast to Florida Gov. Rick Scott and State Sen. Jack Latvala of Clearwater who continued to embarrass themselves by politicizing the catastrophe. Both are Republicans; the former dashing around the state seeking photo opportunities from obsequious media outlets and the latter pontificating bombast to promote a corporate agenda from his safe perch 250 miles away.
Gillum is a nationally-known Democrat considered to have a bright political future.
"The mayor is focused on helping the citizens of Tallahassee return to their daily routine," said Jamie Van Pelt, Community Relations Coordinator for the mayor's office, adding that the mayor would not engage his critics in a war of words.
Scott launched his mud slinging barely two days after Hermine blew through town, then said his criticism was the result of a "misunderstanding." It didn't take long for another 180 degree pivot, however.
Meanwhile, Scott and Latvala remain mum about the heavily criticized response to the storm from citizens in Pasco County, a Republican stronghold marked by finger pointing among local governmental entities.

Donny Osmond: One Night Only Box Set
A deluxe box set celebrating Donny Osmond's February 2017 performance at the Birmingham NEC. Signed & numbered, limited to 1000.
The set includes:
- Limited Edition Triple DVD (Region 0, NTSC - this will play worldwide)
- Double CD
- Signed and Numbered certificate
- 24 page, full colour book featuring all previously unseen photos taken on the UK dates.
- Replica tour pass
In 2017 Donny Osmond toured the UK playing in Arenas in; Manchester, Glasgow, Brighton, Bournemouth, Nottingham, Birmingham and two sell out nights at the legendary Hammersmith Apollo, London. The tour was very special to Donny, he has has described it as, "This tour was definitely my favourite that I've ever done". As such it was decided to film and record the final date of the tour at the NEC Birmingham - One Night Only. From the filming and recording we have produced some very special editions.
"I have been touring, literally all my life, so it's quite a statement to say that this tour was definitely my favorite that I've ever done and I say that for many reasons.
First is the fact that I took the opportunity not only to play the new songs I recorded for my 60th album, but I also went back into my repertoire of fifty-four years in show business and performed so many of my classics from so many different genres of music. The Purple Card segment of this show was kind of risky for me because I just didn't know what the audience was going to ask of me, but it was fantastic!
Another reason I loved this tour was that the band, the dancers, the crew and everyone involved in not only putting this tour together, but executing it in such a fun and professional way, made it a magnificent experience.
However, by far the greatest reason was you, my loyal fans. You've been with me for so many years. Even through those years when it really wasn't cool to follow and listen to Donny Osmond. You've stayed with me through thick and thin and I thank you from the bottom of my heart.
It's been a long and winding road as Paul McCartney once said, and I really don't see the end of my road coming anytime soon. I hope you enjoy this final show of the 2017 UK tour. Here's to the next one.

We're used to people from countries ranging from El Salvador to the Republic of the Congo being detained by the Border Patrol for being in the U.S. illegally.
Now we can add France to that list.
Matthew Hudak, who is the Chief of Patrol for the Border Patrol Big Bend Sector, tells 1200 WOAI news that they apprehended an illegal immigrant from France at the Sierra Blanca checkpoint on I-10.
He says it happened when passengers on a bus were being checked at the checkpoint.
"While they were interviewing the passengers on the bus, one of the agents spoke to this gentleman, and in that conversation he presented a passport from the African nation of Mali."
Hudak says a conversation revealed that the man is actually from France, and he is fleeing a murder charge in France.
"The suspect in this case actually entered the U.S. more than ten years ago with a visitor's visa," he said. "He proceeded to overstay that visa and remained in the country illegally."
Hudak says the fact that stepped up Border Patrol scrutiny managed to nail this guy and send him back to France to face the music shows that biometrics and other sophisticated techniques also work in keeping members of Latin American gangs like MS-13 and other criminal elements from using the cover of the recent immigration surge to slip into the U.S.
"The information systems and the biometric systems that we have available to us, enabled us to confirm the identity of the suspect and confirm that he had the outstanding warrant from France," he said.

Seiko Men's SKA371 Kinetic Dive Watch Review
Adventure is a man's romance. Men love adventure. They seek the rush, the joy of adventure. Different sports give people the feeling of adventure. One of the more popular games for experience is underwater diving.
Underwater diving has all the adventure elements in it. When you go underwater diving, keeping track of time is essential. Because you need to keep a measure of the gas spent from the time you pass underwater. There are digital steps for keeping track of time. But nothing is as classy as a good old dive watch. They are fashionable and elegant. They also keep track of time pretty well underwater.
A good dive watch is an investment. Because you can pass down a dive watch to many generations. Now when speaking of dive watches, the name Seiko Men's SKA371 Kinetic Dive Watch comes to mind at first.
Seiko is one of the most renowned watch producers in the world. The Japanese watch manufacturer has made many iconic watches for the past few decades. Seiko is well known for its use of style and technology in their watches.
They are also a powerhouse in the world of dive watches. They have produce bestselling dive watches of different technologies for years. One of those techniques is the kinetic diver technology. The Kinetic dive watches of Seiko have gained quite some popularity in the world. The Seiko Men's SKA371 Kinetic Dive Watch is one of those watches.
What Specialty Does the Seiko Men's SKA371 Kinetic Dive Watch Have?
The Seiko SKA371 is the watch in Seiko's Prospex series of watches. This is unique due to its kinetic movement technology which powers its movement. The watch is also known as BFK.

The strap, case all feature Seiko's elegant and classy design. The watch is simple and elegant. The watch is also very easy to read. This watch also has Seiko trademark features. It has the Seiko Hardlex display. It also uses the Seiko LumiBrite for illumination in low light conditions.
A dive watch is an investment. So when buying a dive watch, you should consider its features. The Seiko SKA371 is one of Seiko's bestselling timepieces. So what features does the SKA371 offer? Let's check them out.
1. Kinetic Movement Technology and Self Winding:
Kinetic divers are favorite for one reason. They do not require any batteries. They are powered by the movement of your wrist. So no need to worry about the batteries running out. You move your arms quite a lot when you dive. So you can easily power your watch during that time.
The kinetic dive technology also self-winds the watch. So you don't need to wind the watch manually. This removes a lot of hassle.
2. LumiBrite Hands and Markers:
When you go underwater diving, you have to keep check of your time. Because you can tell the time elapsed on your gas tank. But when you go underwater, light is an issue. There is often low or no light deep underwater. But Seiko SKA371 has that issue covered.
Seiko uses its trademark LumiBrite technology in its hands and hour markers. The illumination can go up to a stretch of many hours after fully charged. This technology is helpful underwater. Because high illumination is needed to tell time in deep waters.
3. Strap and Case and Display Material and Build:
People want their dive watches to be tough. In underwater diving, dive watches go through a lot of wear and tear. So you would want your dive watch to withstand high impacts. Seiko SKA371 is pretty well built.
The case is made of 42mm stainless steel casing. The dial window is made of Seiko trademark Hardlex crystal. The strap is also made of stainless steel. These materials make the watch a tough customer. The watch can take all sorts of high impacts that you expect underwater and more. The watch will go through all wears and tears and still look like new.
4. Clear Display and Easy Readability:
The display window is made of Hardlex crystal which is very clear. This gives you a good view of the dial. The dial is black. To go with the black dial, the hands and hour markers are white. This makes the watch easy to read. With the LumiBrite illumination and different dial design, you can easily tell time.
5. Double Safety Clasp:
The Seiko SKA371 features a fold-over clasp with a double push safety button. This is there to make the watch fit your hand perfectly. This feature ensures that the watch is neither nor loose on your wrist. This watch will be a perfect comfort fit on your wrist.
6.Unidirectional Bezel:
The movement of a dive watches bezel is really important. You can ask any diver. They will tell you the same thing. The unidirectional bezel can only deduct time. It cannot add. So upon impact, no time will be added to the watch. This feature is really important for dive watches. Because the unidirectional bezel will not add any time to you, gas tank. The SKA371 has that feature for the safe diving experience.
7. Water Resistance:
Water resistance is an important aspect of a dive watch. The Seiko Men's SKA371 Kinetic Dive Watch is water resistant up to 200 meters. This is a good depth for both occasional and professional divers alike. This helps both kinds of divers to go deep underwater diving.

THE RIGHTEOUS MIND: Why Good People Are Divided by Politics and Religion, by Jonathan Haidt. (Vintage, $16.) Why doesn't the other side listen to reason? Haidt, a social psychologist, charts the "mental mechanisms that make us adept at promoting our group's interests, in competition with other groups," and explains why liberals and conservatives have such different intuitions about right and wrong. In Our Divided Political Heart: The Battle for the American Idea in an Age of Discontent (Bloomsbury, $18), the Washington Post columnist E. J. Dionne Jr. situates our current political dysfunction in the full sweep of American history. "Americans disagree about who we are," he writes, "because we can't agree about who we've been."
THE CHEMISTRY OF TEARS, by Peter Carey. (Vintage International, $15.) In Carey's touching novel, set in a London museum of "clocks and watches, automata and other wind-up engines," a grieving curator immerses herself in 19th-century journals about the construction of a mechanical bird.
TINDERBOX: How the West Sparked the AIDS Epidemic and How the World Can Finally Overcome It, by Craig Timberg and Daniel Halperin. (Penguin, $18.) This engrossing interdisciplinary study sets out to identify why AIDS emerged when it did, why Africans were so disproportionately affected and why some countries have succeeded in reducing infection rates while others have not.
THE KISSING LIST: Stories, by Stephanie Reents. (Hogarth, $14.) There's a satisfying edge to Reents's nimble first collection — connected stories about women navigating early adulthood in a world cluttered with narcissistic men and discarded friendships.
IMMORTAL BIRD: A Family Memoir, by Doron Weber. (Simon & Schuster, $16.) With urgency and tenderness, Weber chronicles the efforts to save his eldest child, who was born with a congenital heart defect, and their struggles against the received wisdom and arrogance of the American medical establishment.
JACK HOLMES AND HIS FRIEND, by Edmund White. (Bloomsbury, $16.) White's novel about two men — one gay (Jack), the other straight (Will) — who come of age in literary New York in the 1960s explores male intimacy and unrequited passions in ways both genuine and free of cliché. "The realm of the body is the city they inhabit together," Kate Christensen wrote here, "fellow libertines and explorers in a concrete place free of illusory deception."
LONDONERS: The Days and Nights of London Now — As Told by Those Who Love It, Hate It, Live It, Left It, and Long for It, by Craig Taylor. (Ecco/HarperCollins, $16.99.) Just as Studs Terkel did for Chicago, this sprawling oral history captures life in London through the words of a diverse cast of characters: rich and poor, young and old, native and immigrant.
FORGOTTEN COUNTRY, by Catherine Chung. (Riverhead, $16.) Janie and Hannah, the Midwestern sisters in Chung's first novel, have been reared on stories of relatives gone missing amid political turmoil in their native Korea. So when Hannah drops from sight, Janie's search becomes a genealogical connect-the-dots as she links her sister's disengagement with generations of family trauma.

Maybe it was the holiday, maybe it was . . . who knows? I just didn't see that much for this post this week. But there are a couple of odds 'n ends about books and reading that did catch my eye. You've probably seen some/most/all of them, but just in case:
- Leisure reading in the U.S. is at an all-time low — ugh.
- How To Lend A Book To A Friend & Still Get It Back Afterwards — Without It Being Awkward — there's just been a whole lot about book lending in the atmosphere lately…why?
- Venting: Pirating books is wrong! — When you see tweets from Steve Cavanagh and Seanan McGuire (great thread, read it) on the same topic, you know something big happened. This rant does a good job summing up the arguments against book piracy. Sadly, I know too many and it's really difficult to remember to be civil to them.
- This Week's New Releases I'm Excited About and/or You'll Probably See Here Soon:
- Marked by Benedict Jacka — Man, you thought Alex Verus had it rough when he was suspected constantly by TPTB and only trusted to help when they had no choice? Well, now that he's one of TPTB (a minor P, but still) things are so much worse. Really digging this one, hope to post about it early next week.
- Heroine's Journey by Sarah Kuhn — the third volume in this very strange, very charming, and frequently quirky Superhero series looks to continue the strange, charming and quirky ways.
Lastly, I'd like to say hi and extend a warm welcome to atozmom, https://crossfitmomm.com/ and jendionne10 for following the blog this week.

Galway's Doom Metal festival returns on the 29th-30th of April with the 6th incarnation of Walpurgis Night and its strongest lineup yet. This years event for the first time will be spread across two nights with a warm-up gig and record fair opening proceedings in the Cellar on Saturday the 29th of April, and the main event in the Loft on Sunday the 30th. Walpurgis Night VI consists of the old, the new and the heaviest… a history lesson while look to the future of the Doom Metal produced on this emerald island.
Headlining the event, and making an extremely rare live appearance is Graveyard Dirt. Formed back in 1994, inspired by the early Peaceville doom/death sound Graveyard Dirt have remained dormant in the live scene the past decade since supporting Primordial and Mourning Beloveth in 2008, which for anyone fortunate enough to be in attendance was a great performance. They have written some of the best Doom Metal this island has ever produced. Re-emerging from their hiatus with 2015's 3 track EP, "My Scourge, My Plague " is a master work of Doom as are their earlier essentials ''Shadows of old Ghosts'' and ''For Grace and Damnation''. But Graveyard Dirt aren't the only band making a very rare appearance.
Second-to-the headliners TOME resurface from the swamps of Belfast.. Since releasing their split with Nomadic Rituals in 2015 the band have only played twice live. Their possessed brand of eerie blackened doom, TOME really do suck the listener in with their dark murky void cantations, which is especially apparent on their excellent demo released by Into The Void Records back in 2012.
Cork's Soothsayer, are a new black metal influenced Atmospheric Doom band, on top form after just releasing their second EP "At this Great Depth" which displays great depths in their songwriting ability.
One of the most exciting new Irish metal bands to form recently. Belfast heavies Owlcrusher return to Galway after a crushingly unhinged appearance at last year's Dark Arts Fest. After developing a new found momentum the band are now finished recording their first proper release, which after gaining attention for visceral live performances it's great to see them finally emerge from a studio. Until its release though, anyone interested to hear their brand of sludge metal can still find their unreleased 'The Spoiler' recording on youtube.
Genuflection, a new Doom Metal band from Galway with some very familiar faces from the city's ever quietening hardcore punk scene. Genuflection arise from the ashes of ritualic Sludge Doom band Rites, a Galway favorite, who split back in 2013 with the release of Rites II. Genuflection is the heavier slower and more demented older brother of Rites which will be unveiled for the first time with their debut appearance at Walpurgis Night VI.
Sludge Groove merchants Ten Ton Slug need no introduction in Galway (or Ireland) at this stage. The band have risen very quickly in the scene with their energetic and tight live performances, and two well received releases. Its no secret that the band's success is down to their relentless hard work which, quickly lead them to international appearances and landed them onto a packed New Blood Stage at Bloodstock last year, and after recently supporting Crowbar in Dublin and Belfast the band shows no signs of slowing down whatsoever. On the night will also perform Belfasts So Much for the Sun, Weeping Ulcer from Dublin, Slung from a Tree from Clare and Galway's Stonecarver
The Warm up lineup includes Tension Head and Between The Lines and 1 more yet to be announced.
Walpurgis Night – Sunday 30th April, the Loft 3pm – €10
Walpurgis Warmup Night – 29th April, the Cellar 5pm – €5
Walpurgis Record Fair – 29th April, the Cellar 11am to 2pm – FREE
2 Day pass – €13

Casper Candlewacks is the only boy with any sense in a village full of idiots… the fourth and final installment in the hilarious Casper Candlewacks series.
Most villages have an idiot but Casper's village is full of them. So being bright makes Casper something of an outsider.
Luckily Casper has Lamp to him company – his less-than-bright best mate who is also a strangely ingenious inventor.
Lamp's latest invention is a time-travelling toaster – or so he says. But can a toaster really transport them through space and time or will they both just end up as toast?
The final tale in the hilarious Casper Candlewacks series. You'd have to be an idiot to miss it!

Arlington Heights school addition costs jump $4 million
Work will start this month to build additions at two schools in Arlington Heights Elementary District 25, but the project will cost more than district officials originally estimated.
The District 25 school board on Thursday approved construction bids totaling $16,239,556 for work to be done at Ivy Hill and Olive-Mary Stitt elementary schools, up from early estimates of $10 million to $12 million.
Superintendent Lori Bein said the construction costs have increased since the discussion began in February. More square footage and water detention areas have been added at both sites, too.
"We are disappointed that the bids are higher than we anticipated," Bein said. "That's part of doing construction. You never know the actual cost until you open the bid."
After a lengthy discussion, the school board unanimously approved all the bids submitted from the lowest responsive and responsible bidders.
The addition at Ivy Hill will include 10 new classrooms, while Olive-Mary Stitt will receive five. Both schools will get larger, air-conditioned gymnasiums and larger common areas.
The projects will be paid for through $18 million in bonds the school board approved selling in April.
The bids approved on Thursday also include $2.6 million worth of regular capital projects for the two schools -- roofing, boiler and HVAC maintenance -- that had been scheduled to take place over the next five years. Those projects will be done at the same time as the construction and paid for out of the district's capital projects budget, Bein said.
"We started this conversation with community members coming to us in August 2014 concerned about the enrollment increase at their schools, and here we are -- 14 months later -- excited that we're actually going to start seeing construction trucks on property in the next week or so," Bein said.
Groundbreaking ceremonies are planned for Oct. 13: 1:15 p.m. at Olive School and 2:30 p.m. at Ivy Hill.
Since 2008, District 25's enrollment has grown by more than 38 students each year, said Jake Chung, assistant superintendent of personnel and planning.
According to projections, the district could get another 200 students by the start of the 2019-20 school year.
"It's a joy to see families continually moving into the Arlington Heights area," Bein said.
"With the excitement of a growing student body comes the need for expansion. We aim to provide our students with the best learning environment available."
Next, the district will study possible expansions at Westgate and Windsor elementary schools, though Bein said those projects would likely be smaller, with no more than four additional classrooms at each.
She said District 25 has not decided how to pay for that project, whether by taking out another loan or using money from its regular budget.
Both Ivy Hill and Windsor have installed mobile classrooms to alleviate overcrowding until construction is done.
Bein said the school board will likely make a final decision on the next phase of expansions by February 2016.

RICHMOND — Gov. Ralph Northam (D) angered environmental groups Thursday by signing off on a state budget that includes language hampering Virginia's ability to participate in a regional program to limit carbon emissions.
The environmentalists had urged Northam to use a line-item veto to remove the budget provision, inserted by Republicans to keep Virginia out of the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative. Advocates say the program could reduce the state's carbon emissions by 30 percent.
"This was a disastrous and cowardly retreat by Northam," Walton Shepherd, Virginia policy director for the Natural Resources Defense Council, said via email. "Instead of protecting Virginians with his clear veto authority, he rolled over, not only for big polluters, but also for a climate-denying fringe of the legislature."
Northam lamented the situation in a news release announcing his signature on the $119 billion two-year spending plan, calling the carbon-cap restriction a "disappointing and out-of-touch" provision. But his advisers apparently believed he lacked the legal authority to veto that language.
The governor said there were other aspects of the budget that he also disliked, including limits on using state funds for abortions in cases of extreme fetal abnormalities and restricting state agencies from buying and using body-worn cameras.
He said the provisions "do a disservice to the citizens of the Commonwealth," and vowed not to be "constrained" by them when he puts together a new budget this fall.
But that wasn't good enough for environmental advocates, several of whom said that they had thought Northam was prepared to veto the carbon cap language and that it was legally defensible.
The RGGI is a market run by nine states in the Northeast that sets limits on carbon emissions by major industrial producers. Plants that lower their emissions can sell allowances to others who might exceed the carbon caps.
Northam has praised the effort, and earlier this year vetoed a bill passed by the Republican-controlled General Assembly that would have prevented the governor from entering into the initiative. But the budget language still prevents the state from spending any money to participate.
By law, Virginia governors have limited powers to veto individual lines in the state budget. Any vetoed language cannot be tied to an underlying budget expenditure, and the clerk of the House of Delegates must rule on whether such vetoes are acceptable. The General Assembly has sometimes simply ignored vetoes of budget line-items, such as when Northam's predecessor, Terry McAuliffe (D), tried to reject budget language aimed at stopping the expansion of Medicaid.
Alternatively, if the clerk approved the veto, the General Assembly could challenge it in court.
Even McAuliffe put pressure on Northam to act on Thursday, tweeting a reminder that he had paved the way for joining the regional carbon initiative with an executive order.
"The GOP has snuck language into VA budget to reverse that historic action," McAuliffe tweeted. "This attack on the environment must be stopped."
House Speaker Kirk Cox praised Northam's action on the budget. "I am pleased the Governor is recognizing the constitutional authority of the General Assembly to set conditions and restrictions on appropriations," Cox (R-Colonial Heights) said in a news release. "I hope the Governor's deference today will make future governors think twice before attempting to trespass on legislative prerogatives."
A spokeswoman for the governor said Northam did not see the need for a legal showdown with legislators. "The speedier remedy for these out-of-touch provisions is the election of Democratic majorities in November," spokeswoman Ofirah Yheskel said via text message.
In the meantime, Yheskel said, the state Department of Environmental Quality will look for ways to implement carbon-reduction plans. The state's Air Pollution Control Board authorized such steps last month in anticipation of participating in the regional cap-and-trade marketplace.
All 140 seats in the General Assembly are on the ballot this fall. Republicans hold two-seat majorities in each chamber, and Democrats are hoping to flip them both.
Democratic momentum has been slowed since February, though, when all three executive branch leaders — Northam, Lt. Gov. Justin Fairfax (D) and Attorney General Mark Herring (D) — were crippled by scandals. Northam and Herring have admitted blackface incidents from decades ago, while Fairfax has strongly denied charges of sexual assault levied by two women over alleged incidents from 2000 and 2004.
The situation has hampered the leaders' ability to raise money for the legislative elections and raised questions about their remaining political clout.
"I doubt we'd be in this situation if it weren't for the blackface scandal," said one environmental activist, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to address the sensitive subject. This person said Northam's diminished status prevented him from facing down Republicans over the veto.
Shepherd, of the NRDC, said the "inexplicable abdication of duty sows further doubts about his capacity to lead."
Environmental groups have been among Northam's top campaign supporters. Aside from a Democratic Party organization, the Virginia League of Conservation Voters was the most generous donor to Northam's election in 2017, at almost $2.9 million, according to the nonpartisan Virginia Public Access Project.
"Virginians elected Northam, in part, because he promised to take serious climate action," the league's executive director, Michael Town, said Thursday via email. "Today, he failed to live up to that promise."

I am pretty good at searching 1st and then asking question, but I am sure I will have a stupid Q or two along the way.
If y'all are aware of a particularly good thread to read, I am all ears!

Gambling vs real estate investment in reference to the 2018 World Cup
Gambling has taken our youths by storm, a majority have ventured into it believing that the quickest way to get rich is by depending on luck. The dictionary defines gambling as the activity or practice of playing a game of chance for money or other stakes. Gambling is a concept that includes a range of different activities such as betting on games, casinos, and lottery among others. For the vast majority of gamblers, it's an activity pursued to win chunks of money by placing bets of smaller amounts.
The 2018 FIFA World Cup is football's biggest event globally according to Geopoll Survey, the event had 64 matches played and were the most influenced by Technology compared to the other World Cups. No other World Cup tournament was impacted by digital technology like 2018's FIFA World Cup, held in Russia fromJune 14th to July 15th. Figures released by International media ratings measurement service Conviva indicate that in the first week of the World Cup 393 million plays of matches were successfully streamed, the equivalent of 6.9 billion viewing minutes, via 59 million unique video streaming apps.
In Africa, the craze for football has been epitomized by a fanatical following due to the growing youth population and mobile phones penetration, that has significantly increased the availability of online betting platforms and also betting tips. Kenya is in record for having the highest number of betters standing at 76 percent, followed by Uganda at 57 percent with Ghana having the least number at 42 percent. 54% of millennials between 17-35 years have tried a hand in gambling and on the estimate at least five million young Kenyans are involved in sports betting according to Kenya's Betting Control and Licensing Board which regulates all forms of gambling in the country. In the 2018 World Cup there were individuals who kept on placing bets for the various team and majority of those teams lost of whom did not win. Overall, urban dwellers had bet more than the rural dwellers across the three countries.
Amount Spent and Sources of Betting Funds
Those who had placed bets on the ongoing matches during the World Cup season either spent their salary or pocket money, with 52% indicating they had spent pocket money on bets and 59% saying betting money came from wages, salary, or profits. It is estimated that young people spend a minimum of Kshs 5000 on betting every month.
Moral Implication
Betting has continually exalted quick and primitive accumulation of wealth at the expense of other values such as hard work and effort to achieve wealth rather they have been made to believe in luck forgetting that easily come easy goes.
Economic implication
Betting has enriched the betting companies and a few winners at the expense of millions of young people who make voluntary contributions to the winners through innocent bets with their hard earned cash with the motivation of a mega jackpot.
Causes of betting
Many individuals are blaming the rise of betting to lack of employment, however, if we analyze the issue of betting we need to ask ourselves this question if someone is not employed or have no source of income where do they get money to place bets? A study conducted in 2017 by Amani Mwandime from USIU, sampled 100 random Nairobi residents and the study discovered that majority of those who bet are in stable jobs while others are students who are betting with their pocket money. In my opinion, betting is more of a moral issue than a financial issue, young people have been misled to believe that by placing a bet of whichever amount can automatically make you an instant millionaire without having to work and invest in any tangible asset.
Why should the young generation consider property Investment?
- Gambling involves risking money on the outcome of something involving a chance. In betting you win and lose at the same rate and in most cases you lose more than you gain. Real estate is a long-term investment and a sure bet of reaping interests in the near future. Investing in real estate comes along with a sense of ownership and cultivates a culture of hard work and genuine ways of acquiring wealth.
- Property investment comes along with proof of money spent. When you invest in a land you are issued with a title deed which is a proof of ownership and can be used as a collateral to acquire a loan or even give you the ability to resell your land in future. When a young person bets every day for a whole year and another one invests in a property after five years the difference between the two individuals will be clear. One will have a title deed and the other will be in agony for losing their money.
- Property investment comes along with peace of mind because once you purchase a property you are assured of ownership unlike betting where you are not sure of the outcome. Property investment has a sense of certainty with an increase in the value of land you purchase.
- Betting comes along with addiction, the urge to spend more and more to win, on the other hand, property investment has no addiction it brings along prestige, security and a lifetime achievement.
In conclusion, young people are encouraged to choose the right investment at an early age and cultivate a culture of hard work rather than rely on luck. It is only in real estate where you are assured of your returns unlike betting where you win and lose at the same rate and end up in depression that ultimately result to suicide among the young generation.

The declaration of the United States Administration to move its Embassy in Tel Aviv to Jerusalem in May reveals that the U.S. insists on undermining the foundations of peace by disregarding the international law, resolutions of United Nations Security Council on Jerusalem and the established UN parameters.
Unfortunately, the U.S. exhibits that it does not hear, and worse still, does not care about the voice of international community's conscience, as reflected in the Final Communique of OIC Extraordinary Summit in İstanbul and subsequently on the resolution of UN General Assembly.
In response to this highly worrisome decision of the United States, Turkey will sustain its efforts, together with the vast majority of international community, to safeguard the legitimate rights of the Palestinian people.

An Italian partisan and antifascist, Ada Rossi was born in Golese (Emilia) on 10 September 1899 into a cosmopolitan family, and she was brought up to the ideals of freedom and equality by her mother. In 1917, just after obtaining her diploma as a primary school teacher, she witnessed to the suffering of the Caporetto veterans and experienced the revulsion against the nationalist and pro-war rhetoric. She graduated in Mathematics from the University of Pavia – where one of her fellow students was killed by the fascist squadrons – and then she moved to Bergamo to work as a teacher. There she met Ernesto Rossi, a teacher, as well, in the first line among the militants of Giustizia e Libertà. Out of love and rebellion, Ada decided to marry Ernesto although he had already been imprisoned and sentenced to 20 years in jail for his opposition against the fascist regime. As the wife of an enemy of the nation, she was fired from school, then filed by the police, and in 1942, sent to the confinement in Forino (Avellino), Melfi and eventually Maratea. Her active commitment in the Resistance went far beyond being the wife and supporter of one of the authors - along with Altiero Spinelli and Eugenio Colorni – of the Manifesto of Ventotene (original title: For a free and united Europe. Project for a manifesto) which will the basis of the European Federalist Movement. Ada in facts played a key role in propaganda, communication and above all political education of the young people to the antifascist values, and the idea of a possible Europe united in solidarity and free. Some of her students – to whom she gave private lessons as she was excluded from teaching in the public school system – would then form the first lines of the Bergamo Resistance. During her visits to the Isle of Ventotene – where her husband Ernesto was sent after being released as a consequence of an amnesty law - Ada fell in love with the Manifesto and secretly took it to Bergamo together with Ursula Hirshmann to have it typed. Thus she started disseminating it. Federal Europe was in her opinion the only opportunity to achieve a future of democracy and peace. She decided to participate in the birth of the European Federalist Movement, and in the years of the Swiss exile of Ernesto, she contributed to the international propaganda of its valus. She died in Rome in 1993.

My son loves those Lipton ready-made green teas with the citrus flavors, but at about $1.20 per bottle, I thought we could do better. Here's what we like to use instead, which costs us about 20 cents per 12-oz. serving. We buy the syrups inexpensively at a restaurant supply store – at about $3.50 per 750 ml.
You'll Need:
1 green tea bag
1-1/2 tsp orange syrup, such as Davinci's, or to taste
1-1/2 tsp lemon syrup, such as Davinci's, or to taste
Brew the tea as directed and allow to cool. To a large glass, add the brewed tea, the syrups, and ice.
