Cabezas Rubias
by Saskia Mier
The name of this town refers to being surrounded by golden-coloured mountains which resemble blonde heads.
The earliest inhabitants of Cabezas Rubias date back to prehistoric times; the origin of the town is in the Chalcolithic period (or Copper age, an early part of the Bronze age), between the second and third centuries B.C. The most famous archaeological site is Los Pedernales, where you can admire the authentic megalithic culture from this period.
Some remains of the Roman road that once crossed Cabezas Rubias and linked the mouth of the Guadiana river to Mérida (in the region to the north of Andalucia called Extremadura) have been preserved.
Cabezas Rubias has been marked by centuries of clashes with Portugal, a struggle that ended with the devastation of its entire population during the Reconquista (Reconquest). The struggle caused the death of most inhabitants and the destruction of their village which was subsequently rebuilt by the Duchess of Medina Sidonia.
Ermita de San Sebastian
The most prominent monument in the centre of Cabezas Rubias is the Ermita de San Sebastian (chapel).
Molino de la Divisa
A mill located in "Puerto Colorado", about 2 km from Cabezas Rubias, the nearest mountain to the village once used as a look out. The mill belonged (along with two other mills) to the network of mills out of hundreds that stretched from Niebla to Portugal. It has been converted into a natural viewing point over the entire Sierra del Andévalo to enjoy a fascinating panoramic view of Cabezas Rubias.
The most popular dishes, due to the hunting in the area, are game stews, particularly wild boar and venison. Wild mushrooms are also popular when in season.
If visitors are interested in purchasing some local crafts, the baskets made from palm leaves are the most traditional.
San Sebastian is celebrated 20 January in honour of the patron saint with a procession.
Nuestra Señora de Consolación held on 15 August begins with the crowning of the queen and ladies and ends with a fireworks display. Over the weekend the traditional ribbon horse-race is celebrated by all those from Cabezas Rubias and on Monday, the traditional ribbon donkey-race.
Romeria de San Sebastian held on the second weekend of May with a pilgrimage.
Cabezas Rubias is located 66 kms from Huelva city; to get there, take the Huelva-Ayamonte road to the N-431; then onto the A-495 and after passing through the towns of San Bartolome de la Torre, Alonso and Tharsis; you then arrive in Cabezas Rubias.

Politico: President Barack Obama basked in applause Tuesday as he announced what sounded like a daunting environmental threshold for the controversial Keystone XL oil pipeline -- that the project can't go forward if it would "significantly' increase greenhouse gas emissions. What he didn't mention: His own State Department has already indicated that the pipeline can meet that standard. The State Department still hasn't issued its final environmental study on the pipeline, and the EPA has joined green activists......

Charline Oudenot is a businesswoman, a beautician, and Saudi League defender Kalidou Koulibaly's wife.
Charline isn't your standard WAG; she likes to be in the spotlight infrequently.
When it comes to her personal life, she has remained tight-lipped. She recently became engaged to Kalidou Koulibaly but kept their relationship a secret.
The Senegalese defender left Chelsea for Al Hilal in Saudi Arabia in June 2023.
After making a name for himself as one of Europe's best defenders, the athlete is taking his family on an adventure to Saudi Arabia.

Charline Oudenot Biography
She was born June 20, 1991, Saint-Die, France. Charline Oudenot did her birthday months ago, making her 32 years old.
Her father's name is Jean-Marc Oudenot. He operates in France, where he runs a business with his family.
Her mother's name is Christine Oudenot. She mainly operates as a homemaker and also does some business.
Name | Charline Oudenot |
Age | 32 Years Old |
Date Of Birth | June 20, 1991 |
Husband | Kalidou Koulibaly |
Childen | N/A |
She prefers to keep her personal life under wraps. Regarding her siblings, we know very little.
She has a sibling who goes by the name Thomas. Charline and Thomas are the know children of their parents.
It has become tough to learn more about the upbringing of the stunning French woman.
However, we seek further data and will revise the article accordingly.
Take advantage of updates about Kalidou Koulibaly's lovely wife.
Charline Oudenot was born and raised in the French city of Saint-Dié. She likely attended and graduated from schools in her community.
Charline Career
Charline's professional future is still being determined right now. She is relatively tight-lipped about her career history on the web.
Almost no one has seen her in public recently. However, the content of her Instagram leads us to conclude that she is currently a stay-at-home mom.
Charline Oudenot takes pleasure in remaining in and taking care of the house. She's a massive fan of her husband's and is always there to cheer him on at the games.
Kalidoy began his youth career at local clubs in France before moving to Belgium.
Koulibaly joined Belgian club KRC Genk in 2012. He established himself as a talented center-back during his time at Genk.
In the summer of 2014, Koulibaly transferred to SSC Napoli in Serie A, the top division of Italian football.
He became a key player for Napoli and one of the best central defenders in Serie A.
Koulibaly's strong and composed defending earned him a reputation as one of the top defenders in Europe.
At Napoli, he helped the team compete for Serie A titles and participate in UEFA Champions League competitions.
Koulibaly was known for his ability to play out from the back and athleticism.
Koulibaly was linked with moves to various top European clubs throughout his time at Napoli.
He joined Chelsea at a point but decided to move on after just one season to sign for Al Hilal in Saudi Arabia.
Kalidou Koulibaly's Wife
Kalidou Koulibaly weds a woman he met in 2011. The two have been inseparable ever since.
Their romance began as a typical friendship, but it didn't take long for them to realize how they felt about one another.
They could keep their connection hidden from everyone for quite some time. They made low-key public appearances and avoided the cameras.
Koulibaly's proposal to his wife came after a long courtship, and she accepted.
In 2014, the couple had a grand wedding ceremony and exchanged vows.
His transfer to Al-Hilal has prompted plans for the family to relocate to Saudi Arabia. They've got two gorgeous kids right now.
On January 16, 2016, Charline Oudenot gave birth to Seni Koulibaly, the son of Koulibaly.
Nessa Koulibaly was born into the Koulibaly family on August 28, 2019.
Charline rose to prominence once the news of her romance with Kalidou Koulibaly spread.
However, she is not a massive fan of online networking sites.
She prefers to be private; thus, she doesn't share much personal information with the press.
She has an Instagram account but rarely uses it and keeps it locked down tight.
After joining Napoli in 2014, Koulibaly quickly rose to prominence, becoming one of the league's best defenders thanks to his toughness, strength, and keen understanding of the game.
With Raul Albiol, he was a rock at the back for Napoli, who that year finished second in Serie A and advanced to the knockout stage of the UEFA Europa League.

Napoli relied heavily on Koulibaly again in the 2019-20 season, and he was a primary reason they won the Coppa Italia.
He signed with Chelsea for 40 million Euros that summer of 2022.
He is now a player under Saudi club side Al Hilal after joining them in the summer of 2023.
Charline Oudenot Net Worth
Charline's wealth is under calculation, but her net worth is about $1 million.
The lack of information regarding her current position makes it difficult to determine her wealth.
But if what we say is true and she is a stay-at-home mom right now, her wealth appears to be much smaller. But that doesn't say anything about her habits or routines.
Charline Oudenot partner, Koulibaly, makes a substantial sum annually from his professional contract.
Thus, the family can live opulently off of his salary alone. Charline Oudenot and Kalidou Koulibaly are now in Saudi Arabia, where they have a home.

Wonder Woman 1984 is finally released in the UK today, just as a whole bunch more English cinemas have to close their doors.
The UK becomes one of the first places on the planet to debut the eagerly-awaited Wonder Woman 1984 today, as Warner Bros for the second time this year sends a major blockbuster into cinemas when other studios are running in the other direction. That said, it's already not working out as planned ever a week or two ago.

It's pretty well known now that Warners will be sending Wonder Woman 1984 to both cinemas and its HBO Max streaming service in the US in just over a week. Yet here in the UK, where HBO Max isn't operating, the plan was for something close to a regular cinema release.
The problem is that the movie is ostensibly in cinemas today, just as another raft of England moves into tier three restrictions. As such, another bunch of cinemas have had to shut their doors.
London, most of Essex and Hertfordshire moved into tier three restrictions today, and that means that 34 million people in England – well over half of the country – are now living under the toughest Covid restrictions.
Scotland and Northern Ireland rules are currently a little more relaxed, whilst all cinemas in Wales are currently closed.
For Warner Bros, it seems inevitable now that it'll fast-track whatever plans it had in place for the UK for a home release of the movie. There had been rumours of a deal with Sky Cinema to take Wonder Woman 1984 as early as next month. Given concerns over piracy once the film lands on HBO Max, providing a broad legal platform to watch the movie will surely be a priority.
We'll keep you posted as we hear more. Our review of the movie can be found here.

The Thrill of Sports Betting in Las Vegas Casinos
Las Vegas, the entertainment capital of the world, is not only famous for its glitzy casinos, extravagant shows, and vibrant nightlife, but also for its thriving sports betting scene. For sports enthusiasts and gambling aficionados alike, Las Vegas offers a unique and exhilarating experience that combines the excitement of live sports with the thrill of placing bets.
The Legal Landscape of Sports Betting in Las Vegas
Before diving into the world of sports betting in Las Vegas, it is important to understand the legal framework surrounding this popular activity. In 2018, the United States Supreme Court overturned a federal ban on sports betting, paving the way for individual states to legalize and regulate it. Nevada, with its long-standing history of legalized gambling, was quick to embrace this opportunity.
Today, sports betting is legal and widely available in Las Vegas casinos. The Nevada Gaming Control Board oversees the industry, ensuring fair play and consumer protection. This regulatory framework guarantees that visitors can enjoy sports betting in a safe and secure environment.
The Sportsbook Experience
Las Vegas casinos offer state-of-the-art sportsbooks where bettors can immerse themselves in the action.

While the thrill of being in a Las Vegas casino and placing bets in person is undeniable, technology has made it possible to enjoy sports betting from the comfort of your own home or on the go. Many Las Vegas casinos offer mobile sports betting apps, allowing you to place bets using your smartphone or tablet.
These apps provide the same level of security and convenience as betting in person. You can access a wide range of sports markets, view live odds, and manage your account seamlessly. Whether you're at the game or watching from the comfort of your couch, mobile sports betting brings the excitement of Las Vegas casinos to your fingertips. 스포츠토토
A Word of Caution
While sports betting can be an enjoyable and potentially profitable pastime, it is important to approach it responsibly. Set a budget for your betting activities and stick to it. Remember that gambling should be seen as entertainment, and never bet more than you can afford to lose.
Additionally, it is crucial to be aware of the laws and regulations governing sports betting in your jurisdiction. While Las Vegas offers a legal and regulated environment, this may not be the case everywhere. Always ensure that you are in compliance with local laws before engaging in any form of sports betting.
In Conclusion
Las Vegas casinos have long been synonymous with gambling, and sports betting is no exception. Whether you're a die-hard sports fan or simply looking to add some excitement to your Las Vegas experience, sports betting in the city's casinos offers a unique and thrilling opportunity. With a wide range of betting options, a vibrant atmosphere, and the convenience of mobile betting, Las Vegas truly is a sports bettor's paradise.

Sardis Shoe Tree to Come Down June 14th; Committee Formed to Plan Comemmoration
About 25 local residents were present for a meeting about the Sardis Shoe Tree, held the evening of June 1st, 2017, by County Judge Jeff Arey. The summary of the meeting provided by active Sardis resident John Cohen in a nutshell was: The tree is dead due to many contributing factors. A committee was formed with the judge, carvers, forestry, etc. next week with the goal of commemorating the tree – perhaps a carving from the wood.
The Saline County Judge's Office invites the public to a meeting at the Sardis Community Center at 11401 Community Lane in Bauxite, on Thursday, June 1, 2017 at 6:30 p.m. to discuss the removal of the tree known as the "Shoe Tree." More info below.
The tree is located at the intersections of North Sardis Road and Hogue Road. Because of numerous concerns about the tree, Saline County Judge Jeff Arey sought the advice of the local Cooperative Extension Office and the Arkansas Forestry Commission to determine the condition of the tree.
The Extension Office and Forestry Commission are of the opinion that the tree is dead, poses a hazard to the residents, and needs to be removed.
County Judge Jeff Arey will be in attendance at the meeting Thursday, and will discuss the timeline for the removal of the tree and the shoes. Arborists will also be in attendance and will be available to answer questions about the tree.

The health department shut down Dumbo's new waterfront food hall Time Out Market this week due to a refrigeration issue — saying that the shared walk-in fridge was found at 58 degrees, much higher than what's considered safe for food, according to the New York Department of Health.
A spokesperson for the food hall says the closure was due to an "electrical repair" and that the market has plans to reopen tomorrow. DOH tells Eater that the refrigerator shared by all the vendors was found at "temperatures that could be potentially hazardous." All food inside the fridge should have been kept under 41 degrees, according to the Food and Drug Administration standards.
Storing food above those temperatures can increase the risk of food-borne illnesses. Because of this, the commissary kitchen and fridge from which the vendors operate from was ordered closed.
The market, backed by Time Out magazine, opened just over a month ago with an impressive roster of food vendors including hits like Thai favorite Fish Cheeks, popular pizzeria Juliana's, babka gem Breads Bakery, and pancake hit Clinton St. Baking Co. The 21,000-square-foot market takes up two floors at Dumbo's Empire Stores at 55 Water Street, which features over 20 food stalls, three full bars, and a rooftop overlooking the East River.

I am a US citizen living in the UK on ILR visa. I have recently had a baby in July 2021. I have been unable to get an appointment at the US embassy to register his birth (CRBA) or apply for his first passport due to limited appointments (I check every day). He has his UK birth certificate and UK passport. We are flying to US in December.
Will he be turned away at airport if he enters the US with UK passport and ESTA?
Is he still considered a US citizen even though his birth is not yet registered via the CRBA? He hasn't yet claimed citizenship?
Wording on Embassy regarding child entering US with foreign passport is 'highly recommended' that US passport is used. Seems like a grey area. Does anybody have experience with this?

High Water Mark?
Hopes raised – briefly
by Linda Goetz
For a couple of days last week my hopes were raised. Firstly the Consistory Court of the Diocese of Ely ruled that the Grinling Gibbons memorial to Tobias Rustat should remain in the chapel of Jesus College – much to the shock and annoyance of campaigners and of Sonita Alleyne, the Master of the College, who brought the petition, and who declared the decision 'astonishing' and 'offensive'. The Church Court found, however, that Rustat's investments in the slave-trading Royal Adventurers brought him no financial returns at all, and that his investments in the Royal African Company did not bring him any money until 20 years after he had made his gifts to the college, so that effectively, the complaints were based on a 'false narrative'.
Sonita Alleyne reacted angrily and responded "This is people not in the community now making judgments over what the community is about now and what young people are about now. We can't believe this has been the outcome." Frankly, she misses the point. It was the choice of the college to put the chapel under the jurisdiction of the church court (because it is a Grade 1 listed Anglican place of worship) and their choice to petition that court for the removal of the memorial. Was it because the college campaigners were so certain that right was on their side that this judgement came as such a shock? David Hodge, QC, Deputy Chancellor of the Diocese of Ely, the judge in the case, said in his ruling, "I am not satisfied that the removal of the memorial is necessary to enable the Chapel to play its proper role in providing a credible Christian ministry and witness to the College community, or for it to act as a focus for secular activities and events in the wider life of the College." He did not deny or ignore the horrors of slavery itself.
David Abulafia, a Cambridge professor of history and fellow at Gonville and Cauis College, in an article in the Telegraph considered the attitude of activists to be arrogant and felt that they had 'closed their ears to intelligent debate about how we commemorate notable people from the past whose social and political assumptions were very different from our own'. He wrote also that 'some quiet victories have been obtained in recent months by those who oppose the iconoclasm championed in universities and museums….But it is the Rustat judgment which provides the firmest indication yet that the tide has finally turned'. Is he right? I and many others would love to think so, but I am not so sure.
The second item of news which raised some brief hope that the days of 'wokery' and iconoclasm may be numbered was the appointment last week of Lord Grade to the position of chairman of Ofcom. Lord Grade, whose name is not unknown to many members of the public, has been a prominent figure in broadcasting and has held positions at the BBC, ITV and Channel 4. He has been a critic of the BBC's 'aggressive, gleeful and disrespectful' political coverage and has said in the past that he respects people's points of view, but just 'not the tone in which they do it, the woke brigade'. Many, many people feel the same way. They are fed up with the intolerance, the 'cancelling' of those who do. Is this really changing?
The war in Ukraine raised a glimmer of hope that the awful aggression by Putin and the intolerable suffering imposed on the Ukrainian people might lead those in the West to some revision, to a review of priorities, a recurrence of reason and a return to some sort of reasonable perspective on a series of ideologies which appear to have been imposed on the majority by the political, cultural and academic elite and a minority of disaffected activists. The fact that we even need something like The Free Speech Union is, if you think about it even briefly, shocking in itself. At a time when we look at Russia, appalled by the treatment of Alexei Navalny and the fact that thousands of young middle-class Russians have fled their country rather than stay to be dictated to by Putin's authoritarian government, is free speech in this country in jeopardy too?
I have written before (see Shaw Sheet Mixed Messages and University Issues), about the Higher Education (Freedom of Speech) Bill introduced by the government last year and currently on its report stage in the Commons. This is designed to push back against many of the more obvious erosions of free speech on higher education campuses, but what about wider society? The third thing which raised my hopes was an interview with the Daily Mail last weekend, given by Deputy Prime Minister, Dominic Raab, in which he suggested that democratic debate is 'being whittled away by wokery' and that the Government's proposed British Bill of Rights, which will replace the Human Rights Act, will go a long way to protect free speech.
Given the Mixed Messages from this government, we might just have to keep our fingers crossed for this one and hope that it doesn't suffer from the 'law of unintended consequences' and that those in government can actually agree exactly what they are trying to achieve. Not everyone of course is convinced there is even a problem. A Moslem teacher, Nadeine Asbali writing in The Independent took the view that 'Freedom of speech is only heralded as a paramount human right by those who aren't on the receiving end of the kind of sentiment that makes you unsafe'. She took the view that 'if the government was genuine about preserving freedom of speech, then they would not be upholding its importance with one hand and taking it away with the other'. She does have a point; the problem appears to be allowing different opinions and points of view without riding roughshod over the diametrically opposing views of others – and learning to listen. The writer concluded, 'New rules outlined at the start of this year ban teachers from "politicising" issues such as the British Empire and the Black Lives Matter movement. Perhaps innocuous on the surface – as teachers, we have always had to be impartial in the classroom – but how do we teach issues such as the mass genocide and invasion of half the world in a balanced way? How do we portray both sides to the humanisation of black people? And why should we have to, if free speech is so supreme?'
The answer to this question is simple and takes us back to Professor Abufalia's point about 'closed ears to intelligent debate'. 'Both sides' should and must be taught, as should understanding and acceptance of a past world which was governed by different rules and morals from our own. Free speech cannot mean the indoctrination by teachers or academics of those in their charge, nor the silencing of the majority by a minority. Logically, where on earth do you stop with this? How far back should one consider going? Perhaps a better understanding of world history is what is required?
When we have reached the point where the BBC is unable to say that '1 in 10 women' suffer from endometriosis and gives the erroneous statistic that '1 in 10 people' suffer from it (because it is trying to placate the trans lobby) and neither the leader of the opposition, nor two leading female members of his Shadow Cabinet dare to define 'women' (for the same reason); when the author of hit comedy series Father Ted, Graham Lineham, breaks down on television claiming he has been 'cancelled' for defending biological sex and that his career has been ruined; when Glasgow City Council is threatening to remove a statue of the explorer and abolitionist David Livingstone for his extremely tenuous links to slavery (he worked as a child in a cotton mill in which the cotton was 'likely' to have been 'sourced from the West Indies' and so profited from 'high wages' to fund his education); when the NHS asks all people about to have a scan whether they might be pregnant; when lecturers at Bath Spa University give students studying English trigger warnings, advising that works by Wordsworth and Keats might 'distress' or disturb' owing to their 'sexist' and 'misogynist' content, it is surely clear that we have completely lost the plot and any idea of a moral compass?
Do I believe that we have reached a 'high water mark' and that the tide is turning? Sadly no, but I'd love to be wrong.

Recycling of the unused surplus powder after laser beam powder fusion (LB-PBF) and electron beam powder bed fusion (EB-PBF) processes improve process efficiency. However, some of the recycled powder particles may have different physical and chemical characteristics due to degradation during part manufacturing, recovery, powder handling, and reuse that can affect the quality of the build parts. Therefore, it is important to understand the properties of the recycled powder, especially when it is used for manufacturing safety critical parts for aerospace applications. The present work aims to highlight different types and mechanisms of Ti6Al4V powder degradation, as a consequence of powder recycling, and its subsequent impact on the build properties.The first part of the thesis presents an evaluation of the evolution of powder properties up to 10 build cycles using a simulated powder recycling strategy that enabled minimal virgin powder top-up in EB-PBF process. The results show heterogeneous powder degradation, with the powder particles located near the melt zone suffering maximum degradation. Degradation in the powder physical characteristics caused an increase in the fraction of lack-of-fusion defects in the specimens produced from the recycled powder. However, post-thermal treatment processes, hot isostatic pressing (HIPing) + solution treatment + ageing appears to be promising in eliminating the lack- of-fusion defects in the recycled builds. Due to the reactive nature of the Ti6Al4V alloy, an increase in the oxygen (O) content was unavoidable and therefore, the recycled powder showed an 0.02 wt.% increased O content compared to the virgin powder. However, since the O content in the recycled powder stayed within the maximum limit (0.13 wt.%), only a slight increase in the material yield and tensile strength (by 10 MPa) with negligible changes in ductility were observed.
Normally, in industry, the recycled powder is often blended or topped-up with virgin powder during recycling to maintain the build volume. The recycled powder particles present in the blend that have different physical and chemical properties compared to the virgin powder may cause localised inhomogeneity in the build properties. The change in powder physical characteristics with recycling are marginal and so the subsequent impact on part properties can be restored by performing additional post-thermal treatments.
Therefore, the second part of this thesis presents an investigation on the effects of blending a high and low O content Ti6Al4V powder on the build properties using in situ and ex situ experiments in the LB-PBF process. A small batch of Ti6Al4V powder (virgin powder) with O content of 0.12 wt.% was artificially oxidised to 0.40 wt.% (oxidised powder). The oxidised powder was blended with virgin powder in a suitable ratio such that the blended powder had 0.20 wt.% O. Due to problems during manufacture which resulted in large lack-of-fusion- defects, the mechanical properties were more significantly influenced by the process-related defects than the O content in the powder feedstock. Therefore, to further understand the effects of powder oxidation, in situ X-ray imaging experiments were conducted in a miniature LB-PBF process replicator on powders with two different O levels, 0.12 wt.%, and 0.40 wt.%. The results indicated that the high O content powder particles had a positive effect in reducing the number of melt ejections, surface roughness and defect population in the build parts.

We would like to thank Hillside Aluminium/South32 for their sponsorship of 40 Pink Rescue Buoys and extending our water-safety education capacity in the Richards Bay area during the last two years.
The NSRI's drowning-prevention initiatives would not be possible without the generous support of donors and sponsors, and the commitment of our educators and the communities that welcome them.
Towards the end of 2019, the NSRI approached Hillside Aluminium/South32 with a proposal for the deployment of Pink Rescue Buoys as well as two water-safety instructors in the Richards Bay area. We were delighted when the proposal was approved, and kickstarted with the generous sponsorship of 40 Pink Rescue Buoys that were erected at drowning hotspot areas around the country in early 2020.
It was also all systems go for two new water safety instructors too, one of whom would work from the Science Centre in Richards Bay, while the other would visit schools in the greater Richards Bay area to deliver water-safety workshops. But, as we all know, 2020 had other plans.
"We hit a major snag in the shape of Covid-19," says Stuart Moerdyk, NSRI's Corporate Relationship and Retail Manager. The Science Centre closed as did schools around the country as the various levels of lockdown unfolded. "We had to box smart during this time," Stuart continues. It was a time of adaption for everyone, and the thinking was that water-safety education should continue albeit in a different format. "We repurposed the two instructors who both upskilled themselves through online learning and we proactively sought out opportunities for them to take part in radio and TV interviews to continue getting the water-safety message out." In time, the instructors were again able to visit schools and communities in the Richards Bay area to share drowning prevention talks and activities.
"We are infinitely grateful to South32 for understanding the challenges that we faced and for their continued support in 2021," Stuart acknowledges. "Now, almost midway through year three of our partnership, we are starting to see the fruit of our efforts in the area with the schools programme almost back to pre-Covid-19 norms, and our two instructors busier than ever facilitating lessons and activations in the communities, as well as educating people about the use and care of the Pink Rescue Buoys."
NSRI's CEO Dr Cleeve Robertson says: "The Kwazulu Natal North Coast has some of the most pristine and yet remote beaches, miles and miles of white sand and warm blue ocean, that lure thousands of beachgoers every year. To keep them safe the NSRI has partnered with South32 through our Pink Rescue Buoy and water-safety education programmes, and we hope that both programmes will provide the safe environment they need. Partnerships like these are essential to our ability to provide services and we are extremely privileged to have South32 beside us."
Thank you, South32, for showing patience while we had to redirect energy and effort during the lockdown and for having faith in us to ultimately deliver on what we promised. Water-safety instructors Ndumiso Skhosana and Mncedisi Hlalatu are continuing with their life-saving lessons in Richards Bay through your support.

Ståle: We're going all in for the Champions League
F.C. Copenhagen manager Ståle Solbakken and centre-back Nicolai Boilesen spoke ahead of Wednesday's Champions League playoff second leg with Qarabag in Telia Parken.
And Ståle was quick to point out European football is where FCK belong.
"This club has history and experience of playing these European matches, so even if we have new players, it is still something we can draw on tomorrow evening," Ståle said.
"We also saw in the Vardar qualifier that when we draw on that experience it works.
"Vardar had good individuals but Qarabag is more evenly fitted out. They have many national team players and are well-matched.
"The three in the midfield have, for example, played together for two seasons, and that more or less applies to the back four. In my opinion they are favourites because they lead 1-0 heading into the second leg.
"But if we score the first goal then that tag has gone."
Ståle was asked if sporting-wise it would be better for FCK to be in the Europa League. But he is not convinced.
"It's all about making the Champions League, that's the only thing we're thinking about," he replied.
"Right now, it's probably not FCK's best Champions League team over the years, but I think we can get around 30 per cent better over the course of the next six weeks, even though we do not buy new players - which I still expect will be the case.
"In part, it's natural for a team to grow over time, and some players are still struggling physically.
"Peter Ankersen is still missing about 20 per cent, Rasmus Falk will be back soon, the new players will gel even better and generally the squad will be more teamed up in the coming weeks.
FCK defender Boilesen also spoke to the assembled media and reflected on the weekend win over SønderjyskE:
"We got an important boost with Saturday's victory. The odds are probably not 50/50, but we definitely have the opportunity (to progress)," Boilesen said.
FCK.dk also caught up with a number of the squad as they trained on the Telia Parken pitch ahead of tomorrow's 20:45 kick off.
Youssef Toutouh: "We know what it's all about, and it's important for us to get the first goal."
Michael Lüftner: "I'm ready for tomorrow! Thankfully on Saturday I only sustained a hard knock to the knee and nothing more."
Jan Gregus: "I'm an optimistic and look forward to the great support from our fans tomorrow night!"
Peter Ankersen: "I feel fine after my injury, but I'm not quite where I want to be."
Pierre Bengtsson: "We still have a lot to work on, for example, we can improve on being more clinical, but tomorrow we're ready to give 100 per cent!"

Kim Kardashian Shares More Wedding Photos With Fans
Kim Kardashian has been a married woman for just about three weeks now, and she is still glowing in the post-wedding bliss. The Keeping Up With The Kardashian star has taken to her Instagram account to post more photos from the big day!
Kim Kardashian and Kanye West officially tied the knot in Italy at the Belvedere Fort on May 24th. The event was a special one, and included almost all of Kanye and Kim's family and friends. We say almost everyone because there were some noticeable faces missing from the ceremony.
According to earlier reports by The Inquisitr, brother Rob Kardashian and family friends Jay Z and Beyoncé were all noticeably absent from the ceremony that took place in Italy. Rob had arrived in Paris, France and was going to attend the ceremony, but some family related drama sent the Kardashian packing and heading back to the US before his sister's wedding. Jay Z and Beyoncé never made the trip to Paris, instead sending their well wishes to the couple from the Hamptons.
Despite everything, the ceremony went off without a hitch, and Kim has been sharing bits and pieces of the special day with her fans on Instagram ever since. According to US Weekly, Kim has uploaded two new photos of the special day this week.
Kim captioned this adorable family photo with "My everything," and we have to admit, the family portrait may be one of the cutest photos we have seen yet. She then posted a photo of her in her dress which she captioned:
"Still feels like it was a dream! Thank you @riccardotisci17 for making me the most gorgeous gown I've ever seen! I'm so grateful @givenchyofficial for this Givechy Couture wedding gown!"
ABC News added that sister Khloe Kardashian has even posted a recent photo of the family from the big day. According to E! News, Khloe said that the following image was taken right after Kim and Kanye said their "I do's."
"We were all discussing how calm and dream-like the wedding was. The peace in Kim and Kanye was undeniable. We all felt as if they had been married in another lifetime. I have always believed these two are soul mates."
The wedding may be over, but that doesn't mean Kim and the rest of the Kardashians have left their happy wedding bliss behind. By the looks of it Kim Kardashian is going to stretch out her wedding glow for as long as she can. What do you think of the new wedding photos? Share your thoughts in the comments below!

Abstract: | Time Laboratories are facilities typically hosted at National Metrology Institutes and Astronomical Observatories, aimed at developing and operating innovative methods and techniques for the generation and measurement of accurate time and time intervals. For Italy, this role is carried out by INRIM Time Laboratory, whose main tasks are related to the contribution to the realization of TAI/UTC international time scales by the BIPM, and to the generation of UTC(IT), the Italian Standard Time. Its dissemination to final users through NTP and White Rabbit technique, the regular provision of Certification Services for the Italian industries under the CIPM Mutual Recognition Agreement, together with the participation to the design and development of the timing aspects of the Galileo system, represent the main contributions provided by the Laboratory towards the national and international high-level production sectors. However, in such a context, also low-level research activities become crucial, aimed at improving Laboratory's metrological capabilities, as well as supporting a wide-range of scientific experiments requiring accurate time. Concerning the latter aspect, INRIM Time Laboratory provided its support to important Particle Physics and Astrophysics experiments over the years, namely Borexino for the measurement of the neutrino velocity over the CERN-Gran Sasso baseline, in 2012, and EEE (Extreme Energy Events) for the detection of high-energy cosmic showers, in 2020. In this work, we present a general overview about the importance of timing in Particle Physics and Astrophysics communities, retracing the INRIM Time Laboratory experiences with Borexino, EEE, and the White Rabbit time dissemination. We will analyze the timing requirements of three representative experiments of both communities. ATLAS (A Toroidal LHC ApparatuS), one of the four LHC experiments at CERN, CTA (Cherenkov Telescope Array) for the study of high-energy gamma ray space sources, and the LIGO-VIRGO interferometers, for the detection of gravitational waves. The experiences gained by the Laboratory over the years, together with the studies conducted on the aforementioned experiments and possibly on others, would strengthen the relationships between the time community and the ones dealing with fundamental physics, relationships that could become even more synergistic, yielding to common benefits, also with the well-known interaction on the White Rabbit technique. |

West Vancouver, B.C. –
The West Vancouver Streamkeeper Society, the Coho Society of the North Shore and the Department of Fisheries and Oceans (DFO) are excited to announce that this year's Adopt-a-Fish event will be held from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. in Memorial Park on Saturday, April 18. This annual event connects citizens with the next generation of McDonald Creek Coho Salmon and teaches attendees about the lifecycle of these important fish. Elementary-aged school children will have the opportunity to release a one-year-old Coho Salmon (called a smolt) into McDonald Creek to begin its life in the wild.
From 11 a.m. until 1 p.m., kids can pick up their Adopt-a-Fish Certificate outside West Vancouver Memorial Library and cross the street to Memorial Park to release a juvenile salmon into McDonald Creek. The Streamkeepers will be on hand to answer questions, provide information and assist with the release of the salmon, which are raised by DFO staff at the Capilano River Hatchery. Plus, at 11:30 a.m., families can enjoy a special Fishy Fun Family Storytime in the West Vancouver Memorial Library's Storyhouse.
This year, the Ocean Wise Education's Mobile Outreach Program, Aquazone, will be at the event. Their interactive display will include a variety of marine artifacts as well as touch tubs with marine invertebrates from our local shorelines. This display will engage the public in learning about the salmon life cycle and their predators, as well as understanding more about their ocean habitat.
In addition to Storytime, the Library has a great collection of salmon and other fish resources.
Adopt-a-Fish is open to elementary-aged school children and their families and will proceed rain or shine. No registration is required.
For more information, contact the West Vancouver Streamkeeper Society at email@example.com.

Get ready for a satanic summer.
Emily Deschanel stars in Devil in Ohio, based on the 2017 novel of the same name by Daria Polatin, hitting Netflix Sept. 2.
In the limited series, "Midwestern psychiatrist Suzanne Mathis' (Deschanel) world is turned upside down when she decides to protect Mae (To All the Boys I've Loved Before's Madeleine Arthur), a fragile teenager on the run from a cult," according to the streamer. "As Suzanne's daughter Jules (Xaria Dotson) begins to suspect there's more to Mae's story, a series of incidents—seemingly brought on by Mae's presence—leave the family in chaos."
This sounds like a very haunted house.
"Soon the Mathis family is fighting for survival against a strange cult," according to Netflix, "while Suzanne and a local police detective try to unravel the clues of Mae's past and sinister happenings in the town she escaped."
Devil in Ohio also stars Sam Jaeger, Gerardo Celasco and Alisha Newton.
Polatin, who wrote the novel and also acts as showrunner, said the events depicted are based on a true story.
"The book was inspired by true events from a story that our executive producer, Rachel Miller, heard, which actually took place in Ohio," she told Tudum. "In the series, we get to lean into Suzanne and her backstory. Why does Suzanne take Mae home? Why is she so drawn to her? And why does she go so far to help her?"
The series marks Deschanel's second major foray back into television since playing Temperance "Bones" Brennan on all 12 seasons of Fox's Bones from 2005 to 2017.
She also appeared in a recurring role on season four of TNT's Animal Kingdom in 2019.
All eight episodes of Devil in Ohio drop Sept. 2 on Netflix.

Induction of transcription from a promoter with two upstream glucocorticoid response elements is 10- to 20-fold greater than that from a similar promoter with only one response element. We have shown that interactions involving the major transactivation domain of the glucocorticoid receptor (τ1) are the sole determinant of such synergistic transactivation by the receptor. The other transactivation domain of the receptor (τ2) did not mediate synergistic transactivation, and therefore the ability to synergize is operationally distinct from the transactivation function per se. The level of synergistic transactivation observed in vivo can be accounted for by the level of cooperative DNA binding seen in vitro for a glucocorticoid receptor derivative containing only the τ1 and DNA-binding domains. Cooperative DNA binding was also observed using a τ1-DNA-binding domain protein, which was expressed in Escherichia coli and extensively purified. Therefore, it is likely that direct protein-protein interactions between τ1 domains mediate the cooperative DNA binding. The role of cooperative DNA binding for synergistic transactivation in vivo is discussed in relation to other possible mechanisms.

SKYPRO takes initiative on sustainable uniforms
Uniform supplier SKYPRO is set to debut its SKYPROEcologic line of sustainable uniform initiatives at the WTCE 2020 show in Hamburg.
The uniforms are made for flight crew, cabin crew and ground staff. They use sustainable raw materials such as recycled bamboo-cotton biodegradable fibers, ocean-recycled plastic for shoe soles, recycled polyester linings and vegan alternatives to leather. Each item is customized for each client.
Jorge Pinto, SKYPRO Chairman & Chief Executive Officer, tells PAX International the SKYPROEcologic initiative aims to reduce the carbon footprint of uniforms at every step – from production to wear.
"Airlines are increasingly committed to reducing their carbon footprint, with some pledging to go carbon neutral by 2050," he says. "As a uniform supplier dedicated to the aviation sector, it is our responsibility as well to help them achieve their sustainability goals where we can."
Throughout the next decade SKYPRO envisions itself leading the ecological uniform movement.
"Larger airlines order more than 20 tons of uniforms per year; therefore, we know we can make a positive impact in helping them reach their goals. Furthermore, crew are increasingly conscious of their own carbon footprint and it is of utmost importance to our mission of helping improve the health and wellbeing of crew that we can help them satisfy their needs."
SKYPRO only works with Oeko-Tex® certified textiles to ensure they are free from potentially harmful substances and improve the health and wellbeing of crew.
The company selects fabrics and materials from eco-responsible suppliers which use renewable energy, reuse their water supply, and recycle their leftovers to favor a circular economy.
It also selects sustainable raw materials, such as recycled bamboo-cotton biodegradable fibers, ocean-recycled plastic for its shoe soles, and Piñatex, a leather alternative made from the fiber of pineapple leaves. In addition, some of its products are made from recycled polyester linings and vegan leather, and shoes have organic cotton laces with biodegradable plasticized tips.
In addition, SKYPRO ensures all products being delivered in Europe and to the Middle East are produced in Europe, further reducing the shipment's carbon footprint from manufacturer to client.
The pieces that will be showcased at WTCE are created by an in-house designer with more than 12 years of experience in textiles, of which the past five have been dedicated to the aviation industry. Together with SKYPRO's experienced product development team, the designer selects the best fabrics that not only meet its sustainability goals but also the daily needs of aviation personnel.
SKYPROEcologic initiatives are available to the industry now. The lead times are the same as for regular uniforms. SKYPRO will be showcasing its SKYPROEcologic items at WTCE on stand 1G40.

Tomorrow's national day of action
Tomorrow is a national day of action called by the Assembly of First Nations to draw attention to the situation of indigenous communities across this country. I'll be at home with my family which is a good place to be tomorrow. Yesterday in downtown Victoria, I ran into the assistant deputy minister of children and family development, Deborah Foxcroft, the woman that originally brought me on to work at VIATT. She expressed concern at how much travelling I as doing and said "remember, we are working for our children and families, so make sure you don't abandon yours." It was a biting half joke. It brought home the reality of how hard I have been working this year, with no stretch of five days in a row at home since Christmas. And it put me in a frame of mind that was decidedly intolerant of the shit spewed out by Margaret Wente in the Globe and Mail this morning, which you can't read online without paying for. So as my public contribution to the national day of action, I offer this rebuttal, even as my soul cries out at how useless the exercise probably is. Ah well, tilting at windmills is my speciality…
One: the narrative.
"Everyone is trapped in the narrative we've constructed to explain [on reserve poverty and despair]. The Europeans arrived, wiped out most of the natives, stole their land and tried to stamp out their culture. All the dysfunction of aboriginal communities stems from the original sins of the conquerors. Only the restoration of their land and culture (plus more money) will restore their dignity and fortunes."
Well, that's pretty much the thumbnail sketch of the story. It's not unique to Canada either. This is the story of colonization around the world. It is about power, largely, and gaining access to natural resources that generate power and wealth in the motherland. It's happening in Iraq at the moment too. It's an old game. So if the world is trapped in that narrative it might be because that narrative is basically the way things have happened.
As for the fact that all of the dysfunction stems from original sins, that's not true. The dysfunction is actually being sustained by deep systemic forces that are continually reinforced today. For example, the reserve system is a form of totalitarianism enforced by the Canadian state upon indigenous communities. Reserves are owned by the Crown, administered by the federal government on behalf of Indians, for their benefit. Band councils are government structures that are created by the Indian Act, a law that was originally drafted in 1871, and hasn't fundamentally changed since then. Band councils can pass by-laws, but they have to be approved by the Minister. In short, the entire system is paternalistic. It was designed that way and the design hasn't changed. To be able to do anything to improve one's community is an incredibly difficult task. It is like trying to play basketball in a 6×10 foot prison cell. You might be able to make a few nice moves, but you're not going to be a Michael Jordan.
So let's drop the story that the sins of the conquerors are the ones that we need to worry about. The legacy of the conquerors is being propagated today, whether intentionally or unintentionally, by the very vehicles of law and order in Canada and by people. So, if you want to help, find a way to help change what is real now. Don't worry about what Jacques Cartier did.
Two: the industry
"We now have a vast Indian industry of chiefs, government bureaucrats, lawyers, consultants and academics that is heavily invested in this narrative. Many of these people are well meaning. They are also the chief obstacles to change because their remedies make the problem worse."
I try not to read Margaret Wente too much, because she makes these kinds of comments all the time without providing any examples. She also just makes these kinds of declarative and absolute statements that are pure nonsense. But anyway…
Chiefs, like all politicians, run the gamut. There are good chiefs and bad ones. Sometimes the good ones lose step with their communities and getting voted out, sometimes communities get fed up and switch out a bad one. First Nations are democratic political institutions, for better or worse. All of our Nations had forms of government that provided much better accountability in the past, and many of these governments are still in existence, especially here in British Columbia. The problem was that the Indian Act decided to choose one form of government for the variety of nations that occupy this continent, and it was a form that was irrelevant to every single one.
With respect to government bureaucrats, I can say that I've seen both. I have met government bureaucrats who are plainly racist, and who resent their positions and the people they serve, It's appalling. And there are fraudsters as well. I also know and can name far more who are the complete opposite. I can name very few who can actually participate in the changes needed in communities, because the structural restrictions supported by the Indian Act mean that you can't pursue radical change from within whether you want to or not. Very little innovation happens in government departments. That's true of most things, not just Indian Affairs. But working with government is a necessary reality of trying to deal with community problems, and building relationships with folks that can shift things has always been an important art.
Lawyers wouldn't be so important in First Nations communities if the governments actually adhered to their own laws. More and more First Nations are winning cases in court because the federal and provincial governments do not tend to respect constitutionally protected rights unless forced too. The default setting is stasis, not movement. Lawyers are needed because the governments have lawyers. It's the price of escalation when you are unwilling to engage in real conversation.
And let me turn now to consultants – people like me. Like everything, there are good and bad consultants. There are some atrocious consulting practices in our communities with people being taken advantage of by unscrupulous consultants and business people (a sector Wente does not mention). But the reality is that there are many of us whose work is directed at removing the obstacles that Wente talks about. She can't name any of us though, because I have the impression that she has never really seen the kind of work that goes on. And as for us participating in the industry, it's true that this is how I derive my livelihood. I charge on average from 1/5 to 1/4 of the rate that I get in the corporate world for doing work with people that are building community resilience against child abuse, suicide, drugs, violence, poverty and despair. I work with Aboriginal youth for free all the time. The fact that I make many times more for working with corporations whose biggest problems are team communication issues or loosely conceived strategic plans seems almost criminal. But that's what happens when a society privileges business.
Three: economic development
"Chief Louie is a rare voice of dissent. Instead of talking about tradition and spirituality, he talks about economic development. The Osoyoos band used to be like all the others – dependant on government handouts, crippled by social problems and nepotism. Today it owns nine businesses, including the award winning winery Nk'Mip Cellars…Calvin Helin is another unpopular guy…these voices of reason are all but drowned out by those who insist that participating in the free-market economy is a sellout to the white man's ways."
I don't think Margaret Wente really knows Clarence Louie. He is not a voice of dissent. He is the keynote speaker at virtually every conference you can imagine. He speaks at forums on economic development, tourism, education, natural resources, governance, and reconciliation. He is immensely popular and his message is immensely popular. You know why? Because he ties the economic success of Osoyoos to the cultural and spiritual traditions of the people. The Harvard Project on American Indian Economic Development, the road map for economic liberation in North America has cultural relevancy as one of the five key factors for creating successful and prosperous First Nations. Osoyoos is the standard by which everyone else is measured. Clarence Louie sometimes reminds me of Malcolm X with a brief case. If Wente really knew him, she'd be trembling at what he really represents.
It's hard to participate in the "free market" when the Minister of Indian Affairs has to approve all of your by-laws, when you can't own land or take a mortgage on it, and when capital flees, but your community can't, because you don't have rights outside of your traditional territory. It's not simple, and people like Clarence Louie, whose community also benefits from being situated in prime upper middle class resort country, combine equal parts genius and good luck. Not too many rich non-native people are clamouring to visit Tl'azt'en. The market is free when you live close by. When you don't, living off the land is a better option for feeding your family.
Four: The Maori messiah.
"Last month, a Maori named Alan Duff came to Canada to blow up that narrative…"Political correctness is your enemy! White academic liberals are your enemy!…They tell us indigenous people that we ought to go back and live as our ancestors lived. They want you to return to your past. But they're not going to do that. They're teaching their children your ceremonies. They're teaching them the modern tools of technology and how to get mortgages." The so-called wisdom of the elders is another problem…Mr. Duff knows that native kids are doomed unless they acquire two essential keys to modern life: literacy and education."
Mr. Duff is certainly his own man, and his message is more complicated than Wente leads us to believe. I'm not even completely sure what he is saying here. Maori culture is as alive and vibrant as any indigenous culture I have ever seen. But let's take this a part. Wente praises Duff's trashing of white academics, although I would challenge both of them to produce even one that says "go back and live as our ancestors lived." There isn't one, so that's just rhetorical flourish. But Wente I think probably is a little more sensitive when indigenous people condemn other white people. She gets a little huffy when First Nations folks point fingers at non-native businesses. I think she's peddling her conservatism here, using an indigenous voice to support a political view. Fine, but just acknowledge appropriation when you do it.
As for mortgages, I can teach you all about how to get a mortgage, but if you live on a reserve you can't get one, because you can't put land up for collateral. End of story.
Those of you that have read my ramblings over the years will know how I feel about education. Learning how to read is a good thing. Learning how to learn is a good thing. Education is another thing. It is the last sacred cow in indigenous communities, the idea that the school system actually sustains the problems that our communities face. We could talk a lot about this, but I think schools in general don't hold the solution to all the problems. Learning does though. That's what the Elders say anyway, not that Margaret Wente puts much stock in them.
Five: Buy in or butt out.
"Stop strutting! Stop giving us endless speeches about yourselves! Start doing something for your families and your children! It's called self-empowerment. And nobody can give it to you."
I hope one day Margaret Wente will write about what we are doing for our children and families here on Vancouver Island. But it seems like she isn't looking for it. And when she calls for self-empowerment, and people start blocking rails lines and asserting their rights and title over their territories, because that's what the Constitution guarantees and "nobody will give it to you" I hope she will write lovingly about our ability to self-empower and establish our place in Canadian society.
But, I fear she won't. She has longed been locked in her own narrative and her eyes are not tuned to subtlety and reality. When she says "start doing something for your families and children" I simply feel the offence of that statement and return a hearty "fuck you!" We're here, we're working at it and you can choose to educate yourself about it or just spew lies in Canada's national newspaper.
If you are wanting to participate in the Day of Action tomorrow, my advice is to do something. Let the Margaret Wente's of the world fade away. Read about what is going on in the country, the courageous people who are changing things despite everything that stands in their way. They are people I work with, who I stand with and support. Stand with them, support them. Offer something. We have offered our lives to this work, and none of us care whether or not Margaret Wente notices, because she doesn't matter. She just gives us the opportunity to stand in the light of her rhetorical vitriol. We're here, we're at work and every day is a day of action. Join us.

Consistent with the prevailing Court-Order, our team of lawyers conducted today's routine visit to our indefatigable Client - Onyendu Mazi Nnamdi Kanu (Ohamadike Ndi Igbo).
Onyendu was briefed on the positions of all pending legal actions instituted on his behalf, as well as those we are defending across all courts, including our yesterday's superlative outing in Ebonyi State High Court.
Onyendu was particularly enthused with our legal prowess and extraordinary feats so far recorded. He reminded us that our professional services in this regard, especially those directed towards rescuing UmuChineke entrapped in various detention facilities across all the states is a divine mandate, which will be remembered by posterity.
All strategies towards a successful outing, come 28th June, 2022, were comprehensively reviewed, and it is our conviction that there shall be Victory, come 28th June, 2022.
Onyendu was also briefed on the level of compliance with his directive for total sanity on our land, which is yielding the desired result. The community efforts of our people who have taken it upon themselves to confront these criminal gangs/evil elements desecrating our land, and the extraordinary feats being recorded in this volunteer services was equally shared.
Onyendu insists that every form of crime and criminality in our land must be completely eradicated, and proceeded to urge our people never to relent in fishing out the criminal elements, who are mainly strangers on our land.
Onyendu commended UmuChineke for their peaceful conduct and resoluteness. The efforts of those aggressively working towards the bad labeling of his peaceful movement have come to nought. The facts speak for itself.
Onyendu specifically instructed us to remind UmuChineke that the only way to encourage him in his present state of solitary confinement is for you all to keep your eyes on the ball, remain focused, ceaselessly pray for him, and remain undivided in your peaceful solidarity.
Onyendu implored everyone, particularly UmuChineke, never to despair as his present travail is momentary, because there will be light at the end of the tunnel. However, he reminds you all that only those who have remained focused, and faithfully abided by the extant peaceful guideline will be part of this all important success story.
We seized the opportunity offered by the visit to brief Onyendu of the barbaric act of the criminal gangs who kidnapped my Aunty a week ago, and her subsequent release.
It is pertinent to note that the criminal gangs, who engaged in this sacrilegious act, in active connivance with some locals have nothing to do with IPOB. They are purely criminals who would soon be apprehended. To this end, Onyendu declared that the days of these monsters are numbered. Nevertheless, we continue to thank the most High God for the gift of life.
Onyendu reiterated his confidence on the ability of those who are steering this ship on his behalf, particularly in restoring total calm and sanity on our land, which is in line with the ideology of his peaceful Movement. He remains profoundly grateful.
As usual, Onyendu expresses his profound gratitude to you all, Ezigbo UmuChineke for remaining strong in your convictions, unshaken, and peaceful in your conduct.
Be reminded that your prayers and supplications are impacting positively UmuChineke, and we beseech you all never to relent until the final victory.
Thank you all and remain richly blessed, Ezigbo UmuChineke.
We move!
Sir Ifeanyi Ejiofor, Esq.
IPOB's Lead Counsel
16th June, 2022.

Unrefined sea salts are the most natural and healthful salts you can find. They're also more affordable than processed, commercial salt. You'll save a bundle when you buy Real Salt. Its subtly sweet flavor makes every bite taste delicious. And because it's unrefined, it contains trace minerals and no additives. It's the best option for anyone who loves the natural goodness of sea-salt.
The salt from natural sources is full of trace minerals and will improve the health of your body. They'll also add extra trace minerals to your diet. And since the natural source is in the sea, the salt's mineral content will be higher than that of processed salts. There are many varieties of unrefined sea salts on the market. The most important thing to look for is a salt from a natural source, such as the ancient sea beds.
Besides the health benefits, unrefined sea salts also improve the flavor of your food. For example, some people don't like eating vegetables. But when you add unrefined sea salts to your dish, the vegetables will have a natural, tangy taste and you'll be more likely to eat them. And there are some studies that suggest that it can improve your mood. So, if you're worried about iodine deficiency, go ahead and buy unrefined sea-salt.
In the past, table salts were refined to remove all the nutrients from them. But today, there are many unrefined salts that are still rich in minerals and trace elements. They're ideal for cooking and curing meats, and they're also the best choices for reducing lactic acid in your muscles. Unlike refined sea salts, they're better for you. And because they are natural, you can trust their benefits and choose them with confidence.
Modern sea salt is a natural and healthy salt. While table-salt is processed, unrefined sea salt is still a more natural, unrefined option. It's better for the health of your body than refined or processed salt. Besides, it's more affordable. You can find many types of unrefined sea salts that are available at health food stores. It's also best to know where yours comes from.
Unrefined sea salt is a natural whole food product. It has more than 50 minerals, including essential trace minerals. It also has many other benefits that improve your body's health. Most unrefined sea salts are unrefined because they have been filtered through the air, so they may contain minor minerals and clay particles. However, they're still a healthy choice for cooking. If you can afford unrefined salt, it's the best choice for you.
In addition to being a healthier alternative to refined salt, unrefined sea salts are also a great way to add extra flavor to your dishes. You can find many brands of unrefined sea salts in your area, but remember to look for those that are unrefined. For example, Celtic Sea Salt and Redmon Real Salt are two of the most common unrefined salts.
Unrefined sea salts are produced in the same way as other salts. They are extracted from pristine sea water through the process of slow concentration. Hence, it's possible to find a variety of different colored sea salts, but make sure you choose ones with a higher purity. In contrast, refined sea-salt is a common additive in processed foods, but unrefined and natural ones are more healthy.
Although unrefined sea salts are widely available, they vary in color, texture, and mineral content. The most common varieties are white or large-grained, and they are refined. Whether you're cooking or finishing, unrefined sea salts are a great choice. They'll add a clean, rich flavor to your dishes. If you're a gourmet, you'll find unrefined sea salts that are naturally processed.
The main difference between unrefined and refined sea salt is its source. Generally, unrefined sea salt is harvested by channeling ocean water into large clay trays. You'll find both coarse and fine-grained varieties. Depending on where you live, you can purchase grey salt, which is "moist" and is collected using traditional Celtic methods. It contains trace amounts of copper and zinc that help you fight off various ailments.

Funding for the Translational Manufacturing Institute
The Queensland State Government has announced its funding support for the Translational Manufacturing Institute (TMI@TRI) at the Translational Research Institute.
This support includes up to $20 million in funding from the newly announced 'Industry Partnership Program', under the Palaszczuk Government's new flagship $1.84 billion Queensland Jobs Fund.
Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk said the funding would accelerate development of one of the State's most important health-research precincts and ramp up Australia's capacity to develop our biomedical industry and manufacture vaccines.
"It will also support an estimated 500 jobs over 10 years," the Premier said
Deputy Premier Steven Miles said the funding could allow Queensland to become a vaccine manufacturing location for the whole country.
"I want Queensland to lead the country in vaccine research, development, and manufacturing, and I've been talking to leading biomedical experts about how to do this. TMI@TRI was one of their strong recommendations," Mr Miles said.
Treasurer and Minister for Investment, Cameron Dick said that under the $1.84 billion fund, the government is working to supercharge the economic recovery.
"Queensland's COVID19 economic recovery plan is unashamedly focused on growing Queensland jobs and our state's manufacturing base. The Queensland Jobs Fund will help us unlock private sector investment to achieve this," the Treasurer said.
"If there is one thing that the pandemic has taught us, it is that we need to manufacture more things in Queensland, by Queenslanders, for Queenslanders.
"This includes manufacturing more medical equipment, personal protective equipment, and vaccines right here in our backyard. We want to work with investors on high impact projects will create a new generation of jobs now and well into the future."
The State Governments support follows TRI's submission of a detailed business case for TMI@TRI, which included intensive engagement with industry, government, research and health to ensure the facility will deliver on the priorities of all sectors.
TRI has also submitted a funding application in the 'Translational' stream of the Commonwealth Government's Modern Manufacturing Initiative, the outcome of which will be announced in the coming months.
According to TRI CEO, Professor Scott Bell, with combined State and Commonwealth funding, TRI could deliver an operational manufacturing facility within 18 months. It would be Australia's first scale-up facility.
"Australia is missing the ability to manufacture new products in the quantities required to undertake pivotal clinical trials to prove the safety and effectiveness of novel therapies," says Professor Bell.
"Until now, this lack of specialised facilities and expertise has forced our innovators to go overseas, resulting in the loss of jobs in manufacturing and clinical trials, and reduced ownership of the IP.
"The establishment of the Translational Manufacturing Institute at TRI will support start-ups and translational researchers to advance their commercialisation and hopefully keep them in Brisbane. It will also help realise economic and export opportunities for the broader community.
"The provision of fully operational Good Manufacturing Practice cleanrooms will also see up to 100 people gain hands-on training in cleanroom processes and advanced manufacturing annually, creating a highly skilled workforce for the medtech industry."
A national survey by TRI of medtech and biotech start-ups in 2020, revealed the need for start-ups to have access to globally renowned researchers for ongoing collaboration as well as specialist equipment and expertise to continuously improve their innovations to meet regulatory and market requirements.
Professor Ian Frazer AC FRS, co-inventor of the Gardasil vaccine for cervical cancer said because of Australia's limited manufacturing capability for biological products in the 1970s, the cervical cancer vaccine was unable to be tested and manufactured locally.
"This meant that large-scale clinical trials were conducted overseas. This remains the case today," he said.
"I've recently contributed to the development of two research products, a potential treatment for COVID-19 and an immunotherapy for head and neck cancer.
"These were manufactured overseas, because we lacked the capacity to produce them here.
"I would like to see Queensland help Australia to develop the capacity and capability to manufacture products like these here and TMI@TRI can help us achieve this."
TRI is home to medical researchers from The University of Queensland, the Queensland University of Technology, Mater Research and Queensland Health, which together deliver exceptional research in both the laboratory and in the clinic.
TRI is also home to commercial tenants, including the university spinouts, Vaxxas and Microba, and there is a waiting list for emerging biotech, medtech and pharmaceutical companies who want to be situated in TRI's unique, collaborative research community.
Professor Bell says that together, TRI and its partners aspire for these discoveries to ultimately to lead to healthier lives for our community.
TRI sought Australian Government funding under the Modern Manufacturing Initiative (MMI) for this expansion at the Princess Alexandra Hospital Precinct. The Queensland Government is prepared to support the project with up to $20 million, within the boundaries of the MMI funding guidelines, and is encouraging the Australian Government to support TMI@TRI. The TMI@TRI project aligns with the government's Queensland Biomedical 10-Year Roadmap and Action Plan to make Queensland a globally competitive Asia-Pacific biomedical hub by 2027.

With the autumn equinox coming our way September 22, New York Fashion Week will bring with it change, no matter your astrological sign as there is always a shift in energy in the period leading up the equinox.
Here's what your astrological sign says about your fashion week ahead
Cardinal signs (Aries, Cancer, Libra, and Capricorn) tend to start trends and initiatives and take creative liberty and action. They're more likely to be early adopters.
Of course, it's also important to understand signature sign astrology and how it differs from your sun sign.
Cardinal signs this next season will be exploring new beauty innovations to their typical routine, ready to try something completely new. They will be trying new things from a point of contentment and joy, instead from a place of seeking. They are most likely to fully embrace with grace the ageless beauty that comes with the change in season. They will lead with authenticity and transparency.
• Aries – Fire signs are passionate and intense. Aries are motivated and ambitious
• Cancer – Water signs are intuitive and mystical and Cancers are compassionate and domestic. Their beauty style is celestial and make statements like Priyanka Chopra.
• Libra – Air signs are cerebral and curious. Libras are connoisseurs of high art, love, and beauty. Their beauty style is adaptable by their environments and can change from playful to edgy in a heartbeat like Gwen Stefani.
• Capricorn – Earth signs are the most steady, sensible and grounded. Capricorns are big-picture oriented, patient, with a hidden playful and mischievous side. When uninhibited, their beauty style can be fun and whimsical like Kate Middleton.
Fixed signs (Taurus, Leo, Scorpio, and Aquarius) are more likely to resist trends, following their own personal style with a steadiness that stands the test of time.
Fixed signs will be nesting this coming season, focusing on interior design and domestic bliss. They'll be creating safe spaces for themselves, cleaning house both digitally online and within their people circles. Fashion and beauty-wise they will be more distilled and stripped down to the essentials and recognizing what will work for them in their new iterations ahead.
• Taurus – Earth signs are the most steadfast and true to their own unique personal style. Taurus are the most pleasure-seeking epicurean and delighted by comforts and luxury like Machine Gun Kelly
• Leo – Fire signs are passionate and vivacious. Leos are infamously theatrical and fiery like Jennifer Lopez.
• Scorpio – Water signs are intuitive and sensitive. Scorpios are strategic and soulful like Katy Perry.
• Aquarius – Air signs are cerebral and curious. Aquarians are the innovative humanitarians and ethically driven, but as a fixed sign would stick to their own personal style classics and ethos like Jennifer Aniston.
Mutable signs (Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius, and Pisces) are likely to try all trends, being natural change chameleons, bot h fluid and transformative. They're the most crafty and creative.
Mutable signs will complement their beauty routines with the entertaining aspects of wellness- supplements, meditation apps, affirmation cards, goat yoga, plant medicine, therapy and study. Expect fashion to entertain this curiosity wi
• Gemini – Air signs are cerebral and curious and use fashion as their ultimate creative expression, essential to their spirit like Kanye West.
• Sagittarius- Fire signs are vibrant and high-spirited and thrive in bold, avant-garde styles like Miley Cyrus.
• Virgo- Earth signs are the most steady, sensible and grounded but in the context of being so mutable, they only abide by trends that align to their personal life path and career like Beyonce.
• Pisces- Water signs are intuitive and sensitive and also utilize fashion based upon how they're personally feeling (both emotionally and physically) that day like Rihanna.
