Purpose - World legends and the scientific community have taken the devastating impact of poverty issue seriously which has been reflected in the growing trend of research in this area. Hence, this paper aims to conduct a bibliometric analysis on poverty alleviation literature, discuss the various dimensions of poverty alleviation, and deliver some ideas for future research. Design/methodology/approach – This study deploys a combined quali-quantitative method familiar as meta-literature review on 454 articles collected from the web of science (WoS) database with social science citation index (SSCI) coverage over the period 1971-2020. Using Rstudio, VOSviewer, and Excel, the collected data have been analysed from different lenses. Findings – The study considers the most contributing scientific actors like authors, journals, topics, institutions, and countries as parameters for analysing articles. Based on the analysis from various perspectives, it determines five main research streams upon which it provides some potential research directions to be considered in future research. Originality – This study provides a retrospective on the scientific works and collective efforts of scholars germane to poverty alleviation from the -highest ranked journals, which would help better understand the literature development and the intellectual structure of this field. Limitation – The study solely relies on the articles available in the WoS database with index in social science citation Index (SSCI). However, it excludes analysing thousands of articles on the same topic available in other platforms.

Oppo has filed for another folding device patent. This one not only features a large single display that folds right in half without cutting it in two. Perhaps showing that the company is looking into true flexible displays.
According to the patent there will also be two cameras on-board, with the main camera sporting a dual-lens module. Whether this actually becomes the case is another story.
Do take this filing with a grain of salt, as Oppo may not create a product based on this patent. They also have a previous patent showing a different foldable design, which makes it seem like Oppo is simply applying for as many patents as it can dream up over the next few months.

Today I thought I would talk about the taboo topic – money. I think it's a tough subject to talk about. It's quite personal to each individual and no one ever really wants to talk about it but at the same time I also think it is really important. Money is something that you aren't really taught in school or education. It's as though you are meant to know how to handle budgeting, saving and investing it automatically and I don't know about anyone else but to this day I still struggle to budget and save money. Anyway, grab yourself a cuppa and a notebook and if you are struggling like me then this post might help you with a few ideas.
Don't Be Afraid To Ask For Help – Firstly, I completely understand what your going through, trust me! I was so nervous to ask for help but I get it. You don't want to get all embarrassed and ask your parents for help, right?! Well, I asked my dad when I was really struggling and nowadays we spend five minutes at the weekend to double check everything is in order and it has helped me so much to stay on track and to get myself out of debt. If you don't want to talk to a parent then I would perhaps seek some financial advise at the bank. I know that the Citizen's Advice Bureau is really good too. They can help you write an income and expenditure list, contact companies who you owe money to and set up affordable payment plans. I particularly like browsing through the Money Saving Expert website for things that I don't understand. Just make sure someone knows what you are going through so you don't feel as though you are tackling it on your own.
Consider Looking At Your Outgoings and Income – I used to find it such a chore to sit down and write a list of bills that need paid and how much money I have available for food, utilities and treats. A while ago I started to work out exactly how much money I have per week and each month. It can be difficult if you have lots of outgoings but once you have got your head around it, you will feel so much better. I have learnt how to prioritise things. Write a list before you go food shopping with everything that you need – not what you want. Check your bank balance every couple of days. I use my mobile banking app which is really easy to set up and nearly every bank has one. I have been strict with what I have been subscribed too. For example, I don't need Amazon Prime, Disney+ and Netflix or if you want all three maybe look at sharing the price with a family plan between friends or family so you don't have to pay for it all. Now I am not saying I am an expert in this because I am far from it. I am still learning and that's okay.
Try And Earn Some Extra Coins – Whilst I was at University, I was working part time. It just gives you a little bit of extra money to play with or to add to a savings account. They usually suggest anything between 16-20 hours a week is okay before it begins to effect University work. Now that I have entered a full time job many of you are probably thinking that you haven't got time on top of your usually hours. Well that's where you hobbies and skills can come in useful. It's no secret that a lot of bloggers make money through brand collaborations and social media placements. You could sell the skills that you've taught yourself. Copywriting, photography and design are all things that could be done freelance and alongside a full time job in the evening or weekends. It's also something great to add to your CV and to talk about in an interview. Blogging has given you so many transferable skills so use them to your own benefit. Polly has created her own online shop whilst studying and now has a whole studio and team helping her, Kaye takes outfit photos for bloggers but also works on campaigns for big named brands and Mark has set up his own copywriting business from University too. It doesn't have to be related to blogging either. If you have a real passion for a certain skill or hobby then it's definitely work considering.
Curb Your Shopping Addiction – Don't get me wrong I love shopping. Who doesn't love shopping especially when you are buying things you really enjoy. However, if treating yourself to that eye catching new eyeshadow palette from Too Faced or spending £100s on ASOS is too tempting then unsubscribe from newsletters and try not to pay attention to it. Easier said than done but if you try and rethink your buying behaviours then your money will stretch a lot further. Not only have I started selling my clothes on Depop and Vinted but I've been using these apps to buy new clothes too. I've started browsing the charity shops instead of the new in section on the Missguided website. It's not just about the treats in your life too. Try and use this when doing your weekly food shop. Instead of going to Waitrose, perhaps shop at Tescos with a Clubcard or Aldi.
Staying In Is The New Going Out – I used to go out to different restaurants rather than staying in however this is the new norm! You can easily find recipes online now and when you look at the price which you would spend on going out then you realise cooking is probably cheaper after all. Instead of buying your lunch from Greggs just cook something at home or bring your leftovers from the night before.
Do you have nifty ways to make or save money? I would love to know what your ideas are!

Economists criticise bipartisan budget surplus obsession
Worsening economic conditions are making it more difficult for the government to get the budget back into surplus. But today Wayne Swan reaffirmed his promise to return the budget to surplus in 2012-13, saying that Australia had to demonstrate its economic credentials. Some economists are now suggesting that the economy may suffer if politicians are too focused on returning the budget to surplus in the face of a weakening global economic conditions.

We think it's safe to say that Rockstar's latest addition to the Grand Theft Auto gaming franchise has been an unrivalled success. The hype surrounding the release of GTA 5 was at an all time high when the title eventually went on sale last month. The game reportedly cost Rockstar more than $250 million to create, but managed to recoup more than $1 billion in opening weekend sales, which speaks for itself. So how could this year's best game actually get any better? Well, it probably couldn't, but an earlier version could allow gamers to hook up a Google Glass wearable to compliment the experience.
The Grand Theft Auto franchise has always been more about mayhem, destruction and personal gain rather than any kind of technical ingenuity or innovation. Mission after mission of total carnage is what seems to appeal to the masses, but the underlying technology and work that goes into making an expansive game of this nature is truly unparalleled in consumer gaming. But wouldn't it be so much better if you could use one of Google's wearable pieces of eyewear to view the game map without actually detracting from the mission at hand? Step forward Mr. Mike DiGiovanni.
DiGiovanni has managed to put in the time and effort to create what is essentially a real-time GPS type system using Grand Theft Auto 3 and the magnificent Google Glass hardware. One of the main problems that I have always had with games like Grand Theft Auto is that there is too much for me to focus on on the game screen. The actual gameplay itself, the little map indicator as well as character health and various other focal points. DiGiovanni's little creation abstracts the progress map away from the scenario and puts it firmly into the vision of the Glass wearer.
This particular developer has pedigree when it comes to tinkering with Google's wearable. Google and Glass users will be more than familiar with the various bits of work he has done for the device, but his GTA 3 creation is by far the most impressive, yet considering it was pieced together on his laptop during his daily commute to work. The handy little hack definitely improves the Grand Theft Auto 3 experience for those using a Windows laptop, but it does have serious adverse effects on the Glass battery life. Users can expect a fully charged battery to be drained within 45 minutes when using this heads up display.
The GTA3 Glass creation hasn't been released for the regular Joe to try out yet, but sit patiently as there is something coming.

A few years ago, the Detroit Lions faced a difficult decision with linebacker Tahir Whitehead. Although the middle linebacker was coming off one of his best season yet in Detroit, the change in head coach and defensive scheme made it hard to justify bringing Whitehead back on a new contract.
Instead, Whitehead went to Oakland on a three-year, $19 million contract with the Raiders. Unfortunately for Whitehead, it will only be a two-year deal, as the Raiders announced on Monday that they were letting go of Whitehead, saving the team $6.25 million in cap space.
In his two years with the Raiders, Whitehead started every game. He led the Raiders in tackles in both seasons, however he continued to struggle in coverage, allowing a passer rating of 146.5 and 150.5 in 2018 and 2019 respectively (per PFF).
Whitehead was a fifth-round pick for the Detroit Lions in the 2012 NFL Draft. He signed a two-year extension with the Lions in 2016, but will now enter free agency for the second time in his career.

Water: Leaving No One Behind (30.03.2019) Environmental Pollution and Degradation
On March 22 of every year, World observes World Water Day, the theme of which, this year, is "Leaving no one behind", with the motto – 'Whoever you are, wherever you are, water is your human right'.
- The UN defines safe water as that which is free from contamination, accessible on the premises and available when needed.
- Water is crucial for human survival, healthy ecosystems, socio-economic development and also for food and energy production.
- Though nearly 70% of the world is covered by water, only 2.5% of it is fresh water.
- Just less than 1% of the freshwater is easily accessible in lakes and rivers.
- Of the remaining fresh water, one-third is underground water supplies or well springs while the other two-thirds are locked away in ice caps or glaciers.
Water Discrimination
- Age and Gender are the foremost reason for discrimination when it comes to accessing clean water.
- Women and Children are the worst affected population. In fact, children are more vulnerable to diseases due to dirty water.
- Other reasons for water discrimination include race, ethnicity, religion, birth, caste, language and nationality.
- Certain people are particularly disadvantaged due to disability, age, health and economic and social status.
- Environmental degradation, climate change, population growth, conflict, forced displacement and migration are also some reasons due to which marginalized groups of society suffer.
Global Water Crisis
- 844 million people lack access to clean water. Out of this, 159 million people depend on surface water to meet their basic needs.
- Over 2 billion people live without access to improved sanitation.
- Scarcity of clean water is also a health crisis as statistics indicate that a child dies every two minutes from a water related disease.
- Each year, at least one million people are killed by water, sanitation and hygiene related diseases.
- In 2017, water played a major role in conflict in at least 45 countries, particularly in the Middle East and North Africa.
- Yemen had the most water related conflicts with at least 28 individual events reported.
- By 2040, it is predicted that 33 countries are likely to face extremely high water stress including 15 in the Middle East, most of Northern Africa, Pakistan, Turkey and Afghanistan.
- Many including India, China, South Africa, U.S.A and Australia will also face high water stress.
Day Zero Instances
- Day Zero is a situation when taps in a region start running dry.
- The Capital of South Africa 'Cape Town', last year, launched a countdown to the day when tap water would be cut-off to millions of residents as a result of a three year drought.
- Brazil's Sao Paulo faced its own Day Zero in 2015. The city turned off its water supply for 12 hours a day forcing many businesses and industries to shut down.
- In 2008, Barcelona in Spain had to import tankers full of fresh water from France.
Water Crisis in India
- India tops the list of countries with the most number of people living with water scarcity.
- As many as one billion people in India live in areas with physical water scarcity, of which 600 million are in areas of high to extreme water stress.
- Approximately 330 million people from 302 districts were affected by droughts in 2016.
- Over 21% of the country's diseases are water related. In 2015, India lost over 1 lakh children under the age of five to diarrheal diseases.
- As per a report by NITI Aayog, Bengaluru will soon be among one of the 11 cities in the world to run out of ground water.
- The report also states that the 'Day Zero' will hit Bengaluru and 20 other major cities (including Delhi) in India by the year 2020 affecting an estimated 100 million people.
India-Specific Reasons
- Though India receives about 1.3m rainfall every year but distribution of the same over space and time is a problem.
- India gets about 95% of its rainfall during monsoons.
- North East India receives about 30ms of rainfall every year, one of the highest in the world.
- But parts of Rajasthan and some other parts of India receive less than 200mm, making these places one of the driest places in the world.
- Thus distribution of water over time and geography of India becomes difficult.
- Overexploitation and contamination of groundwater.
- Lot of lakes, rivers and streams getting drying up.
- Pollution of surface water.
- Lack of efficiency in water management.
- Without clean easily accessible water, families and communities remain logged in poverty for generations.
- Children drop out of school and parents struggle to make a living.
- Women often bear the burden of carrying water for their families for an estimated 200 million hours each day.
- Shrinking reservoirs in Morocco, India, Iraq and Spain can spark the next day zero water crisis.
- Deaths due to water and sanitation related diseases.
U.N. Initiatives to Save Water
- The United Nations Water Conference (1977), the International Drinking Water Supply and Sanitation Decade (1981-1990), the International Conference on Water and the Environment (1992) and the Earth Summit (1992) – all focused on the vital resource, Water.
- The 'Water for Life' International Decade for Action 2005-2015 helped around 1.3 billion people in developing countries gain access to safe drinking water and drove progress on sanitation as part of the effort to meet the Millennium Development Goals.
- The most recent initiative is the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development that aims to ensure availability and sustainable management of water for all by the year 2030.
Water Conservation – Solutions
Reusing Water
- Water left after washing vegetables can be used for gardening.
- Water drained from RO filters at home can be used for mopping the floor.
Preventing Wastage
- Not leaving taps running while brushing.
- Aerators save nearly 35-40% of water a minute when compared to normal taps.
- Doing laundry when washing machine is fully loaded.
- Trying bathing with one bucket of water instead of taking shower or installing water-saving shower heads to cut down 80% of water usage.
- Installation of composting toilets.
- Checking for leakages in the house.
- Ground water level can be increased by using Artificial Recharge Techniques.
- Rainwater Harvesting Systems in houses and localities can fight water shortage.
- Cultivating less water intensive crops is another solution. Also, use of drip and sprinkler systems for irrigation will help in conservation of water.
- Avoiding usage of those synthetic ingredients that contaminate water bodies. Water Purification is another solution for conservation of water.

By Evin Priest – US-based PGA Tour editor
Former Australian Open champion John Senden will take an indefinite break from professional golf, announcing son Jacob has been diagnosed with a brain tumour.
Aussie veteran Senden, a two-time winner on the US PGA Tour, revealed the news after withdrawing from this weeks' Zurich Classic of New Orleans to be with Jacob, 13, and wife Jackie.
"Our son is undertaking the biggest challenge of his life thus far, having been diagnosed with a brain tumour," said Senden in a statement.
The 46-year-old Queenslander will put his golf career on hold to remain at his Texas home in Dallas, where Jacob is expected to undergo treatment.
"I have no timeline for my return to the PGA Tour at this stage," said Senden.
"As a family, we appreciate the support and kindness that everyone has offered us at this difficult time and ask that you keep Jacob in your prayers and hearts.
"Together, we will stand strong to tackle this disease and look forward to the day when Jacob is cancer free.
"With respect, we now ask for privacy in this matter."
Senden, who turned professional in 1992, has played 16 seasons on the PGA Tour – amassing more than $US21 million in career earnings.
The Brisbane native's six worldwide victories includes lifting the Stonehaven Cup at the 2006 Australian Open at Royal Sydney.

With about a third of the day?s 171 kilometres covered, a break of 34 riders went clear of the bunch and, with many of the leading contenders from the overall present, headed off at a good pace.
But absent from the break was overnight leader Ricardo Van der Velde (Netherlands), and with the group putting 20 minutes into the bunch he lost his overall lead to Jesse Anthony (Kodak Gallery).
Murphy and Gunn?s Paidi O?Brien, second on the opening stage, was just edged out once again in the sprint, while third went to Paul Griffin (Ireland-Subway).
Others to make the crucial break included Meath My Home.ie rider Brian Kenneally, who is now two seconds behind Anthony in the GC, while Rollin?s stage win leaves him third, four seconds off the pace.
Wednesday?s fourth stage takes the riders from Sligo to Dungloe. The 138-kilometre stage includes the third category climb of Mountcharles at around half distance.

It is decreasing viewership at the Olympics ((Slower) from 2018, to an audience for the 2022 opening ceremonies that was 43% smallerIt was more than the one who watched the 2018 winter games. However, millions of Americans will still be able to tune in and watch the 2018 winter games. That is fine. Unlike many countries around the world, U.S. Olympic Teams are funded by people who choose to spend their money. So everyone is free to either watch it or not, and they don't have to pay any extra. It's just the way it is.
"Unlike nearly every national Olympic Committee in the world, the U.S. Olympic & Paralympic Committee's Olympic programs receive no federal government support," the Olympic Committee's Team USA Fund It also has notes available on its website. So the U.S. has to rely on private funds in order to finance America's elite athletes so that they can pursue their goal of winning at the Olympics.
Maybe I'm imagining a slightly outraged tone in that begging note, but the U.S. Olympic & Paralympic Committee should be happy that people continue to be willing to voluntarily hand over sufficient funds for the committee to purchase airfare and ski wax for athletes. These international contests are a boondoggle, which allows governments to waste huge sums on propaganda that could be purchased much cheaper with just a few ads. Find out why China hosted this year's Games. There were some events that took place in the middle. an industrial parkIt is because all the slightly more reputable candidates balked at this dubious honor.
"Oslo has decided to stop bidding for 2022 Winter Olympics. This leaves Almaty and Kazakhstan as the last cities that are interested in hosting the event." Slate reported2014 "Why? "Why?" One reason is the International Olympic Committee. This is an organization run by grifters, and hereditary Aristocrats. The IOC's extravagant demands for luxurious treatment at the Games were especially amusing to the Norwegian people.
Isn't it great that you have the power to support or against the Olympic Games financially?
In no small measure, the choice of China for this year's Olympic location contributed to losing viewers for figure skating and luge. Curling was also a popular sport.
Morning Consult: "40% said that they didn't want to watch the Games because of China." Results from a pollPublished before the beginning of this year's games. However, politics is not the only thing that matters! The majority of respondents stated that they will ignore the Olympics, either because they aren't interested in them (65%) or because the athletes are boring (57%) and 48 percent said they were bored by the Olympics. There are many reasons why you should not tune in to big-air skiing at the concrete cooling towers.
Nick Gillespie pointed out in an article titled "An Overview of the World's Most Popular People" 2016 pieceOn the decline of the Olympic games' relevance, it is said that they are "explicitly Nationalistic in a World moving toward greater Individualism". It's been an odd aspect of the Olympic games that athletes are competing for countries, not their own, nor on behalf of other teams. Choose which colors you will wear). My youth, 1980 was the defining moment in the Olympics.Miracle on Ice"When the Soviet team was defeated by an underdog American team, they won the hockey gold medal. You can't imagine modern Americans, who are often bitter and divided, coming together to celebrate a win in sports events as though they were all involved in it.
This is a good thing considering the corruption and silliness that go into these quadrennial (ish) competitions. The bid process for the 2002 Winter Olympics was a success in Salt Lake City. However, 15 charges of fraud conspiracy and racketeering were brought up during the bidding process. These charges were eventually dropped. Deseret News reported. A supposedly reforming and contrite International Olympic Committee was what offended Norwegians about ten years later by demanding that designated highway lanes be made, free alcohol and meeting with the king. It's quite amazing that Oslo even considered hosting the Games.
According to the AP, "The price tag of $51 Billion associated with 2014 Winter Games, Sochi, Russia has scared everybody off." Not notedThis year was it. Oslo had pulled out before Krakow (Poland), Stockholm and Lviv (Ukraine) were removed from consideration due to concern about the costs.
Aren't these the best times to be able to support the Olympic Games financially?
The cost of supporting Olympic athletes is separate from bids to host the games. The dwindling number of candidates for hosting the games suggests that places with any kind of local control have lost an interest in paying the cost. Voters Munich St. Moritz, Switzerland,In referenda on this issue, explicitly rejected bids for 2022. Olympics will soon be nothing more than propaganda for autocratic regimes who don't have the burden of public opinion.
China's government fits this description perfectly. China is currently a Communist Party dictatorship. China hosted the 2008 Olympic games. 1.5 Million people were displacedin order to allow for these events. Under the shadow of concerns about 2022 Winter Olympics Grave violations of human rightsUyghur Muslims include Terrorism and concentration camps. Their situation isn't quite so bad, but the athletes are. ReproveOf Abuseful treatmentThey are exempted from the competition by pandemic precautions. They are richly deserved by the shrinking audience who tunes in to see the Olympic Games if the future is dominated only by authoritarian regimes glossing over their mistakes.
Nevertheless, some may choose to support the Olympic team and watch them in the stadiums designed for their glory. As long as they make that decision and other people are free from disinterested or repulsive reactions, it's okay. It's fitting that Olympics, which were born in nationalism is now limiting itself to one of many options available to a small fanbase.
Remember the Team USA Fund's warning that America relies heavily on its private sector to fund America's top athletes. Celebrate the fact that you can choose to give, or not, whatever your preference may be.

Ireland-UK duty free sales 'in sight' as Brexit preparations continue apace
By Luke Barras-hill |
Travellers from Ireland to the UK are set to enjoy duty and tax free purchases at ports and airports from 1 January, TRBusiness has learned.
This publication has it on good authority that the Irish government recently gave the green light to proposals, although these are understood to hinge on the 2020 Brexit Omnibus Bill being passed into law by the Oireachtas (Ireland's national parliament).
Should this occur, it would represent a significant breakthrough for the lobby after concerns surfaced last year regarding proposed amendments to the bill that focused on preserving the 'status quo' between the UK and Ireland in the event of a no-deal Brexit.
The development is now understood to give weight to Ireland reciprocating the UK's policy to enable duty free shopping and surfaced via an update on Ireland's Department of Foreign Affairs website.
"The Irish government is in the process of passing its 2020 Brexit bill which will ready the country for the change to its relationship with the UK," commented Julie Lassaigne, Secretary General, ETRC.
"The Bill as published, will allow for duty and tax free sales for all travellers to the UK, which is in line with EU legislation as confirmed by the European Commission to ETRC several times during the Brexit process.
"Obviously the Bill has not been fully adopted yet, but we are not anticipating any last minute changes.
"This is really good news as the Irish government were initially very sceptical of the impact of duty and tax free and thought that it could present a threat to government finances.
"Thankfully the industry in Ireland, which joined together under the banner of the Irish Duty Free Alliance, was able to show the clear benefits of duty and tax free sales to UK passengers. ETRC was delighted to assist this effort."
It is gathered that Ireland's Finance Bill, which has been published and is at its second stage reading, places no added restrictions on duty free sales between Ireland and the UK post-Brexit.
A spokesperson from Ireland's Tax and Customs declined to comment at this time but a response is anticipated in due course.
In September, the Irish government issued its 'Brexit Readiness Action Plan' in preparation for the end of the transition period.
Within the plan, it pointed to the possible operation of duty free sales and the VAT Retail Export Scheme between Ireland and the UK (excluding Northern Ireland) when the UK assumes 'third country' status after the transition period.
The Withdrawal of the United Kingdom from the European Union (Consequential Provisions) Act 2019 (Brexit Omnibus Act) was enacted on 17 March 2019 in view of a possible no-deal Brexit.
However, many of the provisions did not commence as the withdrawal agreement was ultimately negotiated and entered into force.
In May, the government approved the preparation of the scheme for the new Brexit Omnibus Bill that is being brought before the Oireachtas.
The IDFA has spoken previously of the sizeable economic opportunity arising from a post-Brexit return of duty free sales on routes between the UK and Ireland, suggesting the restoration could provide a €45m boost to the domestic economy.
As reported, the UK government announced in September last year that duty free liquor and tobacco sales to EU-bound travellers would activate in the event the UK leaves the EU without a deal.
The European Commission made clear in November that year that travellers entering the UK from the EU were entitled to avail themselves of goods exempt of excise duty.
However, the situation with regards to the sale of airside tax free sales (excluding liquor and tobacco) at UK airports remains precarious.
The government has come under further sustained pressure this week from embattled retailers to reverse a decision predicted to cause untold damage to the economy.
TRBusiness has launched a petition urging the government to u-turn on the decision, with more than 7,000 signatures to date.

A 10-year-old boy stole an SUV for a spin Michigan According to police, he had been driving on the Autobahn late last month, ostensibly to meet up with his mother.

10-year-old boy steals SUV disabled by OnStar after brief police chase
A week ago, on Friday (May 27), the unnamed minor stole a 2017 Buick Encore in Buena Vista, 35 miles north of Flint, Michigan, state police tweeted Thursday.
The boy told police he stole the car "because he was trying to get to his mom in Detroit."
NBC News reports that Saginaw County Central Dispatch received a call from OnStar alerting dispatchers that the vehicle was traveling southbound on Interstate 75. Cops tried to stop the car, but the driver didn't stop, according to police.
OnStar, an in-vehicle security service, then disabled the Buick, the outlet reports.
Video clip shows police chasing a stolen SUV now in a juvenile detention center
Several witnesses called the police and at the same time reported that a child was driving a car on the freeway.
A 32-second video of the incident shows police chasing the SUV, which weaves through the lane before crashing into a guardrail and stopping at the curb.
An officer chased the Buick for about a mile with the emergency lights on. Meanwhile, OnStar was working to shut down the SUV, police said. The car was only slightly damaged.
However, no one was injured.
The trooper was about a mile behind the suspect with lights and sirens activated while OnStar disabled the Buick to allow for a safe stop. Fortunately, no one was injured in this incident. Note: There is no sound in this video. pic.twitter.com/nqSwdpm4eI

The youth tried to flee the car before being arrested by police officers. Because of his age, his name was not given.
At the same time, several 911 callers also reported that a child was driving a car on I-75 while cops were trying to locate him. The vehicle came to a standstill after hitting a crash barrier and causing minor property damage. 3/4 pic.twitter.com/s6jhpLKJ0a

Child is charged with illegally driving a motor vehicle, fleeing police, and resisting or obstructing police
The suspect remains in custody at the Saginaw County Detention Center, NBC News reports.
Michigan Live reports the child told police it was his mother's car.
The boy was reportedly staying with relatives in Buena Vista and said he drove to his mother's home, who NBC News said was in Detroit.
According to Michigan News, the child faces individual counts of unlawfully driving away a motor vehicle, evading and evading police in the fourth degree, and assaulting, resisting, or obstructing police.

This boutique residence boasts only one apartment per floor, allowing for spatial living spaces that flow onto balconies, extending the full floor plate of the building for resident use. The arch of these balconies instils a sense of oceanic adventure, providing the same feeling as a cliff-top lookout point. The curvature of the built form allows breezes to circulate and flow, the north-east facing building enhances passive cooling while dissipating strong ocean winds. To the north-west, the building cleverly protects itself from the harsh afternoon sun with a building core clad in a feature art screen.
Lush vegetation flows down the building façade, culminating in a landscaped recreation deck on Level 1 featuring a BBQ, dining, pool and steam room.
Translating the undulating coastline into an elegant yet adventurous luxury boutique residence.

Farms are short of staff in part due to COVID-19 border restrictions. The pandemic has also meant many people have lost their jobs, particularly in firms reliant on international tourism. The situation spurred Federated Farmers to think about what could be a circuit-breaker to persuade those out of work to consider a role in agriculture. With the Ministry of Social Development on board, we launched Farm Start.
Job seekers who sign up for a full-time dairy, sheep & beef or arable farm role with a Federated Farmers member receive a complete kit of work gear from New Zealand company Kaiwaka Clothing: rain jacket, beanie, socks, boots, overalls, thermals, oil skin vest…the lot, all free.
The Feds members who give these job seekers a start get one of our industry-leading employment contracts at no charge, to get what will hopefully become a long-term and satisfying employer/employee relationship underway on the right footing.
Farm Start has worked a treat. Young and old job seekers from
all sorts of backgrounds – IT, banking, long-term unemployed, professional sport, tourism, personal training, hospitality, even a former glow-worm caves tour host – are now out on the land helping to generate the quality foods and fibres New Zealand is famous for around the world.
Of the 300 initial kits of Kaiwaka clothing available, there are now less than 100 left. They won't last long. Job seekers and employers keen to find out more should go to www.getkiwisonfarm.nz.

The Lone Goose: A Symbol of Individuality and Resilience
The lone goose, breaking away from the norm of flocking behavior, represents the journey of the soul and the courage required to embark on a solitary path. This remarkable bird demonstrates strength, resilience, and the ability to thrive independently. It embodies the spirit of an adventurer and a pioneer, fearlessly venturing into unknown territories.
The Courage to Walk Your Unique Path
If the lone goose is your totem, it serves as a call to embrace your individuality and stand apart from the crowd. This bird teaches you that it is not only acceptable but also empowering to walk your own unique path. It encourages you to be independent, self-reliant, and unafraid to chart new territories, even if it means embarking on your journey alone. The lone goose as a totem highlights your adaptability and ability to navigate different situations and environments with grace and confidence.
Solitude as a Path to Self-Discovery
Spiritually, the lone goose encourages the embrace of solitude as a means of self-discovery and growth. Contrary to loneliness, solitude offers a space for introspection, self-reflection, and profound personal revelations. By channeling the essence of the lone goose, you can immerse yourself in moments of quietude and deepen your understanding of self.
Emotional Healing and Rejuvenation
The lone goose symbolizes emotional healing and rejuvenation. Similar to how the lone goose separates from its flock to heal, it reminds us of the importance of taking time for ourselves. It encourages us to heal emotional wounds, restore our spirit, and find renewed strength. Embracing solitude allows us to embark on a transformative journey of self-care and inner rejuvenation.
Cultural Interpretations of the Lone Goose Symbolism
The symbolism of the lone goose carries distinct interpretations across various cultures, each contributing unique perspectives and insights. Let's explore two notable cultural interpretations of the lone goose:
Celtic Culture: Independence and Self-Reflection
In Celtic culture, the lone goose is regarded as a symbol of independence and self-reliance. Encountering a lone goose is believed to signal a time of self-reflection and introspection. It invites individuals to assess their own journey, encouraging them to embrace their individual path and find strength in solitude.

Native American cultures associate the goose with determination, resourcefulness, and the ability to navigate life's challenges successfully. It embodies the spirit of adaptability and perseverance, reminding us to approach obstacles with tenacity and creativity.
Interpreting Dreams of the Lone Goose: A Journey of Solitude and Self-Reflection
Dreams featuring a lone goose carry profound symbolism that can offer insight into your subconscious thoughts and emotions.
By delving deeper into the interpretation of these dreams, you can gain a better understanding of their significance in your life. Here's a more detailed exploration of interpreting dreams of the lone goose:
- Solitude and Introspection: Encountering a lone goose in a dream often signifies a period of solitude and introspection. It serves as a gentle reminder from your subconscious that taking time for yourself is essential for self-reflection and personal growth. Just as the lone goose thrives independently, your dream suggests the importance of stepping back from the noise of the outside world and embracing moments of quietude.
- Breaking Away from Societal Norms: Dreams of the lone goose can also signify a need to break away from societal norms and expectations. Your subconscious may be urging you to forge your own path and follow your unique passions and aspirations. It encourages you to listen to your inner voice and trust your instincts, even if it means deviating from the conventional path.
- Embracing Individuality: The lone goose in your dream serves as a reminder of your inherent strength and resilience. It encourages you to have confidence in your abilities, even during moments of solitude. Just like the lone goose stands tall and ventures alone, your dream affirms your capacity to thrive independently and embrace your individuality.
- Navigating Challenges: Dreams of the lone goose remind you of your inner resilience and urge you to trust in your ability to navigate challenges. The symbolism of the lone goose reinforces the notion that being alone doesn't equate to weakness or vulnerability. It highlights your inner strength and the courage needed to confront obstacles head-on, even when you feel isolated.
Examples of Dream Scenarios and Interpretations:
- Dream Scenario 1: In your dream, you see a lone goose gracefully flying through a serene landscape. It appears confident and at ease in its solitude.
- Interpretation: This dream suggests that you are currently in a phase of self-discovery and personal growth. It signifies a period of tranquility and contentment in embracing your independence. Your subconscious is affirming your ability to navigate life's challenges with grace and confidence.
- Dream Scenario 2: You dream of a lone goose swimming peacefully on a tranquil lake, undisturbed by the surrounding commotion.
- Interpretation: This dream indicates a need for solitude and reflection in your waking life. It suggests that you should find moments of calm amidst the chaos around you. Your subconscious is encouraging you to prioritize self-care and introspection, allowing yourself to heal and rejuvenate.
- Dream Scenario 3: In your dream, you encounter a lone goose bravely facing a stormy sky, its determination unwavering.
- Interpretation: This dream signifies a challenging period in your life. The stormy sky represents obstacles and uncertainties. However, the lone goose's resilience and unwavering determination symbolize your inner strength and tenacity. Your subconscious is reminding you to stay strong, trust in your abilities, and persevere through difficult times.
By exploring the specific details and emotions within your dream, you can gain deeper insights into its personal significance. Remember that dreams are highly individual, and the interpretations may vary depending on your unique experiences and circumstances.
Pay attention to recurring themes and symbols in your dreams to unravel their deeper meanings and apply the wisdom of the lone goose to your waking life.

Chelsea winger Christian Pulisic has said that a "freak injury" disrupted his first season in the Premier League but that he is excited to return to the team.
U.S. international Pulisic has not played for the club since January after sustaining a knock in training.

– ESPN's Insider Notebook: Mourinho chose Liverpool, pulled man from burning car
Chelsea boss Frank Lampard said he suffered a "nasty injury" and Pulisic added it was more serious than expected.
"It was really tough with this most recent one," he told the club's website. "I think that a lot of people didn't realise how serious it was. It was a really freak injury in how it happened.
"It happened in training out of nothing really and it put me out a while. But I'm feeling good now, I've been training a lot and I'm just really excited to get back out on the field.
"It feels like it's been a long time without football for everyone at the moment, but certainly for me because I had the injury on top of everything that's going on now."
Following his £57.6 million move from Borussia Dortmund, Pulisic struggled to hold down a regular place in the team at the start of the season.
Pulisic said he was "frustrated" with his playing time but scored his first Chelsea hat trick in the 4-1 victory over Burnley in October.
The 21-year-old, who was voted U.S. Soccer's Male Athlete of the Year for 2019, has scored six goals in all competitions and said he has enjoyed his first year in England.
"It's been a really fun season for me, it's been awesome," he added. "It's been a big change for me coming to Chelsea and having to get to know a whole new team, a new league and stuff.
"I've been really proud of the guys and although we've had our tough moments, I think overall we've been pretty solid. I love playing with my teammates and we've had so many exciting games."

Abandoned Hampshire: Browndown Battery- Portsmouth
Browndown Battery was a military coastal defence fortification at Stokes Bay, near Portsmouth in Hampshire. It is one of a host of Urbex sites in the area. Two basic batteries were first built here in 1852 to defend Portsmouth Harbour and prevent enemies from landing on the beach. The design of the batteries was criticised at the time. By 1870 the Eastern Battery was no longer in use. The Eastern Battery was removed and the Western Battery was updated- modern guns were installed and an artillery store was built. The Battery was disarmed in 1906 after being declared superfluous by the Owen Report in 1905.

The battery was retained by the army as part of the Browndown Training facility and Browndown Ranges. It saw a brief new lease of life when a lookout post was constructed on top of the east gun position as part of the training area used by the combined services hovercraft unit. It is now abandoned and is a Grade II Listed building.
