For Spring Break week we decided to take a bit of a break ourselves while revisiting some of our favorite posts. This was one of our most memorable and referenced posts.
Without any markers to show the passage of time, it seems like our pooches' signs of aging come out of nowhere. Sure we can have noticed graying in Miss M's ears, but since Mr. B is already gray it's more difficult to tell. Just the other week we had to doubletake as it seemed like Mr. B was looking a bit gaunt. We didn't think much of it and just started feeding the pooches a little bit more at each meal.Much to their delight.
and his dog that he mentioned the gauntness too and we realized that Mr. B is really getting old. Our friend reminded us of his pit bull, Ditka, that lived to be 17 years old. The first thing he said he noticed when Ditka was getting older was the loss of muscle mass. Now it is impossible to notice that Mr. B is getting smaller.
Until that day, Mr. B and I will continue to have our grand adventures everyday.

Porto, in English traditionally Oporto, also is the second-largest city in Portugal after Lisbon and one of the major urban areas of the Iberian Peninsula. The city proper has a population of 287,591 and the metropolitan area of Porto, which extends beyond the administrative limits of the city, has a population of 2.3 million (2011) in an area of 2,395 km2 (925 sq mi), making it the second-largest urban area in Portugal. It is recognized as a gamma-level global city by the Globalization and World Cities (GaWC) Study Group, the only Portuguese city besides Lisbon to be recognised as a global city.
Located along the Douro River estuary in northern Portugal, Porto is one of the oldest European centres, and its historical core was proclaimed a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1996. The western part of its urban area extends to the coastline of the Atlantic Ocean. Its settlement dates back many centuries, when it was an outpost of the Roman Empire. Its combined Celtic-Latin name, Portus Cale, has been referred to as the origin of the name Portugal, based on transliteration and oral evolution from Latin. In Portuguese, the name of the city includes a definite article: o Porto. Consequently, its English name, Oporto, evolved from a misinterpretation of the Portuguese pronunciation.
Port wine, one of Portugal's most famous exports, is named after Porto, since the metropolitan area, and in particular the cellars of Vila Nova de Gaia, were responsible for the packaging, transport, and export of fortified wine. In 2014 and 2017, Porto was elected The Best European Destination by the Best European Destinations Agency. Porto is on the Portuguese Way path of the Camino de Santiago.

Just in time for Christmas, we have another Employment Appeal Tribunal (EAT) decision on employment status in the gig economy: Stuart Delivery Ltd v. Mr Warren Augustine UKEAT/0219/18/BA.
When Mr Augustine, a motorbike courier for Stuart Delivery Ltd (SD), brought a claim (for unauthorised deductions and holiday pay, among other things), SD sought to argue that he was an independent contractor in business on his own account. SD's argument largely rested on the fact that its mobile app, which connects couriers with clients, allowed Mr Augustine to "release" a delivery shift he had agreed to work providing another courier took the shift on. SD argued that the ability to release shifts meant that its couriers were under no obligation to carry out services personally and could therefore not be classed as workers within the meaning of s.230(1) Employment Rights Act.
The tribunal and EAT both disagreed that Mr Augustine enjoyed the right of substitution. Upon "releasing" a shift, unless another courier agreed to take it on, the courier in question would need to complete the shift themselves or face potential sanctions including fines, a negative performance score and "off-boarding". As such, Mr Augustine could not be said to be running a business on his own account and was therefore a worker. That meant he was entitled to benefits, such as holiday pay and the National Minimum Wage.

Working Together For Change
When developing organisational change, it's important to know that you're working towards what really matters to the people you support and your wider stakeholders.
Working Together For Change is a way of ensuring that you're making informed decisions about your future direction, based on data and information collected through person-centred practices. In this way, everyone gets to have their say in the organisation you aim to become.
What is the Working Together For Change process?
Working Together For Change uses an 8-step process to make sure that you are taking into account the needs, wishes and aspirations of the people you support and your other stakeholders.
The process collates person-centred information gathered from Person-Centred Reviews and person-centred care and support plans and helps the organise see the emerging trends in the data. This will show both what is working well, and what people would like to see change.
Following this, the process supports participants to create a plan to take them forward, which can then be implemented over time and regularly reviewed.
This video explains the Working Together For Change process.
How can Working Together For Change helps us to support people better?
Working Together For Change helps us to support people better by:
- Informing organisational strategic change, based on what we know really matters to people, so we can ultimately provide better, more personalised services
- Helping staff have a voice in organisational strategy
- Ensuring that services designed on a foundation of co-production
How we can help you to implement Working Together For Change
We work with organisations to implement the Working Together For Change process, guiding you every step of the way and helping you to devise a new, person-centred strategy. For more information, visit the Organisational Change Support page.

The last time the Denver Broncos put together a 9-game winning streak was in 1996. Coincidentally they finished the regular season at 13-3. That was the year they were supposed to win it all, but the Jacksonville Jaguars interrupted that with an upset win and prevented the Broncos from capping off an excellent season.
You may ask why I bring up that painful memory. This isn't 1996. The Jaguars are quite possibly the worst team in the league. Our beloved team just walked into M&T Stadium on Sunday and went all Twisted Sister on the Baltimore Ravens, saying "We're Not Gonna Take It" and literally ran off with their first franchise victory against the Ravens.
This team is on a mission. You can see it by the way they contribute and play for one another. Don't just take my word for it, let me show you as we distribute the Game Balls for Week 15.
Running Back Knowshon Moreno gets the Game Ball here. It seems strange that this would end up happening this year. Moreno was on his last leg after many incidences and issues kept him focused on providing a decent return in the Broncos 1st round investment. Holding out during his first Training Camp, immaturity, preventable injuries and a few off-the-field occurrences put him in the doghouse. Inactive from Week 2 to Week 12, when he became the next man up due to Willis McGahee's injury, Moreno has responded with 391 rushing yards and 2 Touchdowns in the last 4 games. He's also caught 14 passes for 96 yards and more importantly, held onto the ball.
On Sunday, Knowshon carried the workload to help keep the Ravens from getting any momentum. The Broncos had 12 first Downs on the ground, held onto the ball and controlled the clock 38:34 to 21:26. Moreno finished with 118 yards and a Touchdown on 22 carries with a 5.4 average. It was the second consecutive week that Knowshon topped the 100-yard mark.
Wide Receiver Eric Decker gets the Golden Horseshoe this week. Eric stepped up when the Ravens decided to shut down Demaryius Thomas for their game plan on Sunday. Decker caught 8 passes for the second week in a row for 133 yards, including a 51-yard Touchdown on 11 Targets. Of those 8 receptions, 5 went for a 1st Down. Eric has 72 catches for 923 yards and a career-high 9 Touchdowns, which lead the Broncos.
Honorable Mention goes to the Broncos Offensive Line for their excellent Run Blocking.
There's no question that the Denver Defense has made strides this season. We saw a glimpse of their potential last year, in between a couple of injuries to some key players. This year, the depth has been addressed by some shrewd moves by the Front Office, including the addition of Defensive Coordinator Jack Del Rio. It took 3 or 4 games for this Unit to really gel, as well as the rest of the team, but they are hitting on all cylinders. Such was the case in Sunday's match with the Baltimore Ravens.
The Broncos front 7 held Ray Rice and the Ravens ground game to 56 yards, almost half of their average 108 yards through Week 14. They also held the Baltimore Offense to 1 for 12 (8.3%) on 3rd Down conversions. The Ravens were held scoreless in the 1st half and didn't get on the board until 12:18 in the 3rd Quarter. Jacoby Jones returned the kickoff to start the 2nd half 50 yards, but the Ravens drive stalled at the 27-yard line and they were forced to come away with a Justin Tucker 45-yard Field Goal. Baltimore added 14 more points in the 4th Quarter during garbage time on a pair of Dennis Pitta catches, but the game was decided before halftime.
The Game Ball on Defense goes to Defensive Back Chris Harris, who picked off Joe Flacco 12 seconds before the end of the 2nd Quarter and ran it back 98 yards to put the Broncos up 17-3. Flacco was staring down Anquan Boldin and held the ball way too long. Harris jumped the route and narrowly escaped Flacco's pursuit on his way to the end zone. Chris only made one Tackle during the contest, but that Pick-Six put a sour taste in the Ravens craw. Harris was thrown at 5 times during the game, allowing one 13-yard catch to Tandon Doss.
All-Pro Cornerback Champ Bailey gets the nod for the Golden Horseshoe on Defense this week. Champ led the team in Tackles with 7 on Sunday and had his best game of the year. Bailey was thrown at 6 times, allowing 4 catches for 40 yards. He broke up a pass intended for Anquan Boldin, who was held without a catch in the game. Champ allowed Torrey Smith's only reception of the game, a 14-yarder, a 4-yard catch to Jacoby Jones and a pair of grabs by David Reed. Between Chris Harris, Tony Carter and Champ Bailey, the Ravens Deep threats were rendered harmless. Baltimore Tight End Dennis Pitta caught two garbage time Touchdowns, but the first was earned by two broken Tackles and an Ole' attempt by Tony Carter. The second was a failed Pass Breakup by Safety Mike Adams. To be fair, Pitta had position and the height advantage, easily out jumping Adams for the catch.
A pair of Silver Horseshoes go to "Von Doom," Linebacker Von Miller and Defensive End Elvis Dumervil. Between these two, they disrupted Joe Flacco's rhythm and wreaked havoc in the Raven backfield, accounting for 9 Hurries, 5 Quarterback Hits, 2 Tackles For a Loss and 1 Sack. Von was held without a Sack for the first time since Week 8 and Dumervil got his first in 3 games. The Broncos Pass Rush amassed 11 Hurries, 9 quarterback Hits, 5 Tackles For a Loss and 3 Sacks on the day.
Honorable Mentions to Derek Wolfe, Robert Ayers (1 Sack each), Justin Bannan (Forced Fumble) and Rahim Moore (Fumble Recovery). This was truly a team effort.
The Broncos Special Teams Unit didn't have a very good showing on Sunday. A Fumble, a Missed Field Goal and some missed Tackles keep them without a Game Ball. Fortunately, the bounces went Denver's way and the Broncos were victorious.
The Golden Horseshoe goes to Kicker Matt Prater, who despite missing yet another 40-something yard Field Goal, still managed 10 points. He also made two Touchdown saving Tackles during kickoffs that may have turned the tables for the Ravens. The No.1 ranked Baltimore Special Teams Unit had 144 yards on 6 Kick Returns, which isn't so bad, but Jacoby Jones had 112 yards (28.0 avg.) on 4 of them. The Ravens also got 52 yards on 5 Punt Returns (10.4 avg.). The Broncos were definitely outmatched in this facet of the game and it's a good thing the Defense came for a battle.
Honorable Mention goes to Linebacker Steven Johnson, who was in on 3 Special Teams Tackles.
Next up for Denver is a visit from the 5-9 Cleveland Browns, who opened as a 13.5 point underdog for Week 16.

- Bad Check / Delinquent Tax Unit
Bad Check / Delinquent Tax Unit
Bad Checks
The Office of the Prosecuting Attorney is responsible for enforcing the bad check laws of the State through the vigorous prosecution of bad check writers. Our goals are to reduce the number of bad check writers who victimize merchants and individuals in Jefferson County and to recover restitution for those who have been victimized. To effectively prosecute bad check offenders and recover restitution, the assistance of each bad check recipient in the County is requested.
Bad Check Policy
Before you submit a bad check to this office for prosecution please read the following policy:
- When a check has been returned to you from the bank for insufficient funds, account closed or stop-payment try to collect the check by sending written notice (preferably by certified or registered mail) that the check did not clear and demanding payment.
- If you have not received payment within 30 days, bring or send by mail the original check, a copy of any letters demanding payment and a completed Bad Check Complaint Form (PDF).
- This office will send a 10-day letter demanding payment. Do not accept payment (either full or partial) after the check has been sent to our office. By doing so, you may compromise criminal prosecution of the check writer if charges have been filed.
- If this office does not receive payment, we will then review the Bad Check Complaint to determine if criminal charges can be brought. You may be required to appear in court and testify, if necessary.
Some Do's & Don'ts
- Identify the check writer by a photograph I.D, preferably Missouri driver's license. Ensure that the photo matches the check writer.
- Take as much information about the individual passing the check as possible, particularly:
- Current address and phone number
- Date of birth
- Social Security Number
- Any other identifying information:
- Hair and eye color
- Height
- Race
- Weight
- Make sure the check is filled out in your presence.
- Do not accept postdated checks.
- Do not accept two-party checks (where the check is made payable to someone other than the person or business accepting the check, such as payroll checks).
Delinquent Taxes
The Office of the Prosecuting Attorney, pursuant to Missouri Statutes, also represents the Missouri Department of Revenue in civil actions to collect delinquent individual income, sales and withholding taxes. After the Department of Revenue has attempted to collect the tax without success, a petition is forwarded to this office. This petition is a civil suit, not a criminal prosecution, to recover the tax owed to the State of Missouri.
Prior to filing the petition, this office attempts to make contact with the taxpayer in order to resolve the matter without actually filing the lawsuit. In order to ensure that the taxpayer is required to pay only the actual tax amount owed, the Office of the Prosecuting Attorney acts as a liaison between the taxpayer and the Department of Revenue, forwarding to the Department of Revenue any documents which may result in a modification or sometimes complete abatement of the certified tax amount. Payment arrangements may be made with this office before any suit is filed.
If the delinquent tax bill is not paid, and no arrangements are made to establish a payment plan, the Office of the Prosecuting Attorney files a civil suit on behalf of the Missouri Department of Revenue. A payment plan is still possible at this point, pursuant to the taxpayer signing a consent judgment. Monthly payments may then be made to the Department of Revenue through the Office of the Prosecuting Attorney. If no payment agreement is reached with the taxpayer, this office will proceed with the civil suit to judgment and take whatever actions are necessary to enforce that judgment, including garnishment and/or seizure of assets.

Here's a great site for my girlfriend: OneBag.com.
Yep, an entire site dedicated to a single purpose; packing all your belongings into one bag and one bag only. And not just any bag, but a carry-on!
"The art of traveling light" according to OneBag, "is going pretty much anywhere, for an indefinite length of time, with a single carry-on-sized bag."
The site details the types of necessities one must consider while undertaking such a task. Emphasis is placed on items which are light and easily foldable. For example, instead of a heavy electric shaver, OneBag suggests the Avid 4, a ½ ounce work of German engineering that folds up into itself and practically disappears. Or, for those who worry about wrinkles, one can opt for inflatable hangers instead of the bulky metal or plastic ones.
OneBag also walks you through the best type of bag to purchase for such a challenge, as well as the packing process itself (including the proper way to fold clothes so they take up the least amount of room). They even have a whole section on packing liquids as well as recommendations for liquid substitutes. Did you know, for example, that there is such a thing as a bar of shampoo? Tips such as this will undoubtedly ensure your toiletries are not confiscated by the airport liquid police.
I actually had a fun time surfing through OneBag and checking out the very ingenious ways to circumvent weight and space while packing your bag(s). I thought I was pretty good at keeping it light, but I have now met the master and I bow down in his presence.

Volcanoes are points in the Earth's crust which have ruptured, allowing lava, ash, rocks and gas to erupt during periods of seismic activity.
They are typically located along the borders of the tectonic plates which sit on the lithosphere. When changes in pressure and density occur in the magma chamber beneath the volcano, it can force lower density lava and rocks to rise; sometimes explosively. More than 75% of the active volcanoes are within the Pacific 'Ring of Fire' - a band of volcanoes and ocean trenches where different plates meet. The Ring of Fire stretches along the western coast of South, Central and North America and then across to the eastern coast of Russia, China, and the entirety of Japan, the Philippines and many islands in the south Pacific Ocean.
While many volcanoes are located under the ocean, those on land can pose great danger to life depending on proximity to inhabited areas and the intensity of the eruption. Mount Vesuvius in Italy is a famous historical and modern example; the volcano destroyed two cities two thousand years ago, and today millions of people still live within close proximity of this active volcano.
Volcanoes are generally classified as being active, dormant or extinct based on their level of activity. Determining whether a volcano is active or not can be challenging, as volcanoes can be active under the surface with no outward signs on the surface. Historical records are important in this respect, as volcanoes that have erupted recently are generally likely to do so again but there may be years or centuries between periods of activity.
Lava and rocks pose an immediate physical threat to the surrounding area from an erupting volcano, destroying anything in their way, but these are not the only dangers a volcano poses. Gas emitted by volcanoes - often sulphur dioxide - is toxic and so poses respiratory hazards if people or animals are nearby. Ash from volcanoes can often extend for kilometres, driven by wind, and in addition to respiratory hazards is also a risk for aircraft as the fine particles in the ash can damage equipment.
When a volcano shows signs of imminent eruption, any nearby residents are often evacuated as a precaution and a no-fly zone is established in the area.
Satellites are used to observe active volcanoes, obtaining optical and radar imagery of an eruption and assessing the subsequent damage from lava and rocks to the surrounding area. The ash plume is also tracked, to determine whether there is anyone living within its path that may be at risk.
Radar data is also of use in long-term studies of volcanoes, enabling scientists to study ground movement which may indicate seismic activity and thus a potential eruption.

Morgan and her mom, Lisa, and I had so much fun together.
We were supposed to do her photos at the park, with the gorgeous trees and changing fall colors in the background.
Rain was in the forecast.
So, she was brave enough to still go for it and we ended up walking around downtown--taking photos under awnings, in doorways, wherever we could find a dry space. I think it worked out great!
Thanks again, Morgan! Good luck with your senior year, and your time in band. I wish you all the best!
P.S.--I am so envious of your cheekbones. ;)

Holiday Shopping in Brooklyn
A new Brooklyn resident remarked that Brooklyn does have a thriving black business community. He says his previous home, The Bronx, does not have much in the way of "blacks going for themselves." That's true: Brooklyn has black shop owners. Considering the holidays are upon us, it behooves us to patronize our black businesses.
Though small, these shops burst with great merchandise. Zawadi Gift Shop is one example. Located at 519 Atlantic Avenue, Zawadi calls to mind a well-laid out Grandma's attic. To the right at entry is a glass display case of Afrocentric jewelry featuring much silver and amber. Walking farther along the clear narrow path one sees black dolls of all makes. If black dolls are what you crave, then Zawadi has some dolls that will satisfy you. In the far back are the quintessential goods for an Afrocentric wedding: crystal glasses and vases that are engraved with Adrinkra symbols, blankets, albums, and invitations. Zawadi's merchandise line also includes gift cards, fancy pens, health & beauty items and statues. Zawadi Gift Shop is owned by Lora, Lois, and Leonette. No, they aren't blood sisters but they are sisters in sync. Last words on Zawadi: it's the Africana collector's paradise.
Just a few doors away from Zawadi sits Lewis Gallery (525 Atlantic Avenue). This lithograph and framing enterprise entreats pedestrians to have a look inside with stuffed teen girl dolls literally hanging around the door. Business is conducted on three levels. The ground floor has lithographs mounted on the wall, display racks for greeting cards and books. A large table is used to rest framed lithographs while customers look at other items in the shop. The lower level is a smaller room where large and small stuffed dolls are found. This room also contains a selection of lithographs and photographs. They are Afrocentric themes, whether abstract or still shots. The upper room above the cash register is the workshop where the framing occurs. While the shopkeepers didn't reveal their names they did offer me some of the food that they munched.
One block away from Zawadi Gift Shop and Lewis Gallery is Southern Comforts Holistic Boutique and Wellness Center (483 Atlantic Avenue). The owner, Nettie Paisley, was arranging the spacious back room for a singing engagement but stopped to explain the business model. Southern Comforts is laid out with air, light, and walking space in mind. The place is quiet and lightly scented by the essential oils, perfumes and cosmetics that are on sale. Ms. Paisley explains that the makeup bolsters women's self-esteem. To relax and distress customers, Tierra Paisley, licensed cosmetologist, does herbal facials, eyebrows, and applies makeup. Nettie Paisley is a Reiki practitioner. She explained that the back-room is also used for reflexology, massage, Reiki therapy and belly-dancing classes. Other items for sale include candles, handcrafted soap and crystals.
Fulton Street is another place to shop black. If this is the season of giving, then 4W Circle of Art and Enterprise (704 Fulton Street) is the store to visit. 4W Circle's motto is "¼more than just a store, an experience in Ujamaa." By this statement, Selma Jackson established the store to be an incubator of African entrepreneurs. The space actually holds at least four businesses at any given season. The merchandise complements the other businesses', giving off a seamless offering of exotic must-have goods. 4W Circle features home décor and gift items, artistic hair accessories, jewelry, clothes and footwear.

By Sue Ellen Woodcock
Last week developers for the former Shaw's property at 205 Revere Beach Parkway held two informational meetings for residents of Ward 1 and Ward 2 at the community meeting room in the Revere Police Station on Winthrop Avenue.
There was mixed reaction to the presentation with about 50 people attending. Some stayed quiet, others groaned and some appeared open to what was being presented. All agreed something has to be done to the area infrastructure to help with water pressure as well as car and pedestrian traffic. Three real estate companies are involved in the proposal: Gate Residential (a Redgate company); XSS Hotels and TransDel.
The developer, Redgate, which has also developed One North in Chelsea, Quincy and Somerville, proposes to turn the old Shaw's site into a combination use of extended-stay hotel and apartments. There would also be infrastructure improvements for water, traffic and cleaning the creek behind the property. They are not able to actually remove silt from the Sales Creek, behind the property. The developer is will to work with the neighbors in cleaning the creek, perhaps installing fencing. The Shaw's site has been termed by residents as an eyesore for the last six years.
"This is an exciting opportunity for us,†said Greg Bialecki, executive vice president of Gate Residential, a Redgate Company.
The development targets those interested in a "walkable†community, close to the MBTA train and busses. The age group focused on is between 25-34 years old with disposable income and a preference not to drive a car, said Bialecki.
The hotel will have 128 extended-stay rooms, a meeting space, lounge and spot for casual dining. It will be five-stories high. Although a brand has not yet been selected it looks like it could be a Marriott Residence Inn, Homewood Suites or Hyatt House. It will be similar to the extended-stay hotel on the other side of the Chelsea Creek Bridge.
On the apartment side of the development with units, 77 percent of it will be studios or one-bedroom apartments spread over a six-story development. Bialecki said there will be no three-bedroom apartments. There will be a dog park, club, lounge and fitness center.
"The façade will set a new standard for Revere,†Bialecki said.
He added that the traffic flow will be 37 percent less than the old Shaw's. It's a two to three minute walk to the train and ZipCar spaces will be available, as well as underground parking. There will be $3.6 million in community improvements: sidewalks, crosswalks, fire suppression upgrade, new utilities, signals, water mains and enhanced beach access.
The Shaw's site now contributes $700,000 a year in taxes to the city. Under the new proposal there will be $2.2. million in fees and taxes and $6.2 million in tax over five years. There is also a $3.6 million grant for the city of Revere, creating a $12.1 million total benefit.
One abutter from Standish Road questioned whether the buildings will create a shadow in her yard. Given the situation of the buildings on the lot it should not be an issue. Another man suggested that the developers use smaller neighborhood groups to work with in addressing the issues around the project. One resident also proposed a bike path.
"We're not trying to change the neighborhood,†Bialicki said. "We like this neighborhood.â€
The developers must apply for a special permit, and will begin the process sometime this fall.
A year ago developers proposed an apartment development on the site, but withdraw plans when an attempt was made to call for a moratorium on apartment construction.
Councillors Ira Novoselsky, Joanne McKenna, John Powers and Patrick Keefe, as well as the mayor's aide Omar Boukili, attended the meetings.

Suspected East London Grooming Gang 'Targeted Girls as Young as Thirteen'
byLiam Deacon11 Dec 20170
London police believe they have uncovered a new child sex grooming gang in East London, possibly linked to drug dealing and trafficking in the area.
The gang allegedly targeted girls "as young as 13" and operated around a McDonalds and Stratford shopping centre in Newham, with teenagers "coerced" into sexual activity, according to a police statement.
The ethnic and religious makeup of the gang and their victims is not known at this time.
So far, six arrests have been made on the 17th and 25th of November, and police are appealing to the public, as they believe there could be many more victims yet to come forward.
The arrests include a 34-year-old man held on suspicion of rape and possession with intent to supply drugs. He has been released pending the investigation.
Two 21-year-olds, one 16-year-old, and two other teenagers aged 15 were also arrested, for crimes including robbery, possession of drugs, and child abduction.
Police are working with The Children's Society to help victims as well as business in the Stratford shopping centre as they investigate the alleged crimes.
Specially trained officers will be working in the area, issuing Child Abduction Warning Notices, distributing leaflets, and "disrupting those who are seen to target vulnerable groups of young girls."
According to police: "A large number of young girls have already been stopped and spoken to and, where necessary, referred to Social Services and other ongoing educational support."
A report by think tank Quilliam has found that more than eight out of ten men convicted of grooming gang offences have an 'Asian' background, while victims are "almost exclusively white girls". https://t.co/WMYGngGPDf
— Breitbart London (@BreitbartLondon) December 10, 2017
A report by counter-extremism think tank Quilliam published last week found that more than eight out of ten men convicted of grooming gang offences have an "Asian" background. Their victims are "almost exclusively white girls."
Report author Muna Adil said: "We began thinking we would debunk the media narrative that Asians are overrepresented in this specific crime.
"But, when the final numbers came in we were alarmed and dismayed. For both of us being of Pakistani heritage, this issue is deeply personal and deeply disturbing."
"A common feature is the child or youngster doesn't recognise the coercive nature of the relationship," Detective Inspector Laura Hillier, from the Met's Sexual Exploitation Team, said.
"They don't see themselves as a victim of sexual exploitation – so they're unlikely to report the abuse and the issue remains seriously under reported."
She stressed that the police need the help of the public to alert them to warning signs so they can intervene before harm takes place.
"Child sex abuse is a hidden crime," the Detective Inspector added. "This operation helps raise awareness among those who witness all manner of scenarios every day.
"We all have a responsibility to keep children and young people safe from harm and to prevent, detect and safeguard those at risk."

Yann Guichard : "I am so happy now to be in Guadeloupe"
Spindrift 2, 2nd in Guadeloupe, 14h10'14'' behind Banque Populaire VII
lundi 10 novembre 2014 –
Toutes les versions de cet article : [English] [français]
The simple act of completing the demanding Transatlantic race alone on a trimaran which was originally designed for a crew of 14 - at 40 metres long and 18 tonnes, the largest racing trimaran in the world - is a feat in itself, one which many doubted was possible before this race started Sunday 2nd November in Saint-Malo.
In finishing second Guichard returns an excellent sporting result, only outmatched over the racecourse by the exceptional combination of Peyron, Maxi Solo Banque Populaire VII and his routing team.
Peyron has first hand experience of the physical challenge that Guichard has lived over the last eight days as he previously skippered the 40m trimaran with a 14 man crew when it was Banque Populaire V. It was no surprise then that Peyron paid a rich tribute to Guichard during his victory speeches yesterday.
While Peyron had already competed in the Route du Rhum Route du Rhum #RouteDuRhum six times over more than 30 years, this is Guichard's second. He finished fourth into Pointe-a-Pitre in the last edition, in 2010 on a 70ft Ultime and by his own admission the former Olympic trimaran racer, who finished fourth in Sydney in 2000 in the Tornado, is not an expert in Transatlantic races.
This time he proved it could be done, solo, on such a big, extreme multihull.
Spindrift 2's race
After a cautious start in the English Channel and around the tip of Brittany, Yann Guichard became better able to harness the power of the huge tri, working up from fifth early on. And by Cape Finisterre he was up to second place, about thirty miles behind Solo Maxi Banque Populaire VII. At this stage of the course, the delta looked very tenable and the leading duo were expected to tack off, trading gybes to victory. But during the passage of Madeira, a quiet zone of light winds forced the leaders to gybe away to find wind. It was here that the leader Loick Peyron really made his telling break. But Guichard, ever the competitor, could not slacken off and pushed to the finish. And so most parts of his mission are accomplished despite some very difficult times, not least in the manouvres, some of which sap the same energy as running a half marathon.
Yann Guichard - first words : "There were some really tough moments on the race, but I managed to hold on right to the end. I knew I could race on the boat, believed that I could do it. On the second day I had some technical problems and one of the autopilots stopped functioning. This caused enormous stress.
Where I most lost ground on Loick (Peyron) was with the maneouvers. They just took so long and had to be planned very carfully. I had a couple of scary moments, the first few days of bad weather and then off Portugal too. The maneouvers were so so tough. It is not easy to manage racing the boat and I do not think I could do this alone again. I have never pushed myself like this. It took me 4 hours to to get the gennaker up and spent over 2.5 hours on the bow trying it properly. I had tears in my eyes. The sheer physical effort was unbelievable.
We do need machines like this to be on the podium, but it was so tough. Richard Silvani and Erwan Israel were there and supported me throughout guiding me through the best route and their help was immense. Now I am going to rest and analyse the performance because we do not have long, we are under pressure because next year we are off again.
I am proud and believed I could do it ; I was probably one of the only ones in the team to think so. Now is time to have a rest ; I do not think I have slept for more than 2 hours over past week and am just shattered. It is time to enjoy the welcome and then have some rest. I am really exhausted. It was the biggest challenge of my life. I am so happy now to be in Guadeloupe. They were eight very hard days. I had a lot of manoeuvres. The speeds were incredible. It was difficult to sleep. My boat is too big for one singlehanded man. It is too heavy at 21 tonnes.
Just after the first day it was really difficult because we had had a lot of tacks. You cannot tack with these boats every hour. When we went down the Bay of Biscay and the coast of Portugal we had 30kts gusting 45 and I pushed the boat trying to catch Loick. I had the boat flying twice and it was really crazy. I pushed the boat too hard. I tried to get back to Loick but he was too strong in this race."

I'm not sure how and when the conventional wisdom in game development became that you should construct a game like a small, importunate dog that yips and paws at the gamer's ankles in search of constant congratulation, but here we are. The unfortunate result of this thinking is, for instance, the dialogue in Rockstar games, which is showy and self-consciously literary, like it was written by foundering screenwriters trying to prove something to a Miramax exec who wouldn't return their calls. You know Twisted Pixel's games are "fun" and "irreverent" because they contain sub-Seth MacFarlane shock humor and aggressive, repeated breaking of the fourth wall. Jonathan Blow is the way he is.
This try-hard syndrome infects a lot of art, but it seems to torpedo an inordinate amount of potentially affecting games. I feel like I hit this wall a lot: I'll be having fun solving a puzzle or anxiously stabbing my way through a dungeon, and my reward, when I emerge from the little hyper-engaged bubble games can put you in, is a three-minute cut scene that's all melodramatic exposition or a block of text that proves someone in the writers' room has read some Philip K. Dick. I often feel condescended to by games, wishing they would stop trying to impress me the way dipshit, full-of-themselves types try to woo prospective sexual conquests at college parties.
Let's sympathize with the artist for a moment. Making a thing is hard, and because the creative process is like being dragged across god's cheese grater, you might be tempted to try to get your money's worth, make your art serve as a catch-all for every halfway smart or funny idea your labor has produced. This is something you should not do, because it will make people hate you, but it's an understandable impulse. What an artist must grasp, if he or she wants to be of any use to anyone, is that reining oneself in, while sometimes painful, has the benefit of making you seem less eager to please and sharper of mind than you actually are.
Being good at something, paradoxically, often means not demonstrably trying to be good at it. Think about the way Louis CK's jokes seem like he just thought of them while taking a shit backstage or the conversational incandescence of Jay-Z's flow circa 2001. Even better, think about how casually Lucasarts's Monkey Island series throws hundreds of ideas and gags at the player. Think about the first time you experienced Playdead's Limbo, how the game refused to and then slowly revealed itself to you. You flaked out on dinner with some friends because you wanted to keep exploring its chalkboard hell. Great artists cooly manipulate the universe their art creates. You come to what they've built, not the other way around.
Candy Box 2 is the sequel to a modest, goofy project by a teenaged French computer programmer who goes by aniwey. The first game trickled out into the internet this spring and became something between a curiosity and a sensation: a one-day wonder.
Candy Box 2 is more expansive—your character has, like, a health bar and stuff—but it's still deceptively not much. It's a free browser game with ASCII art that plays like it was conceived of and made in one blunted weekend. You collect candies, which are like money. You farm lollipops, which are also like money. Both things are alchemy ingredients. The dialogue is demented and reads like it was written by an enthusiastic seven-year-old. You fight camels and octopus monarchs and the developer himself. "Fight" isn't the word, really. You try to run through them, while frantically pressing the "eat potion" button every few seconds. I feel a little like Steve Brule trying to explain this thing. You can get different swords.
What's remarkable about Candy Box 2 is the way it un-ostentatiously reveals itself to be brilliant. It's structured like one of those much-detested Zwinky games, in that it makes you wait as your currency accumulates. Whereas Farmville and games like it are cynical, often anti-player affairs, the effect of Candy Box 2's waiting mechanic is that it permeates your day in an unobtrusive way. It's in the periphery while you fire off emails or take a trip to the liquor store. You come back to it every hour or so, buy a better weapon, attack a primate wizard or a monster made of nougat. It's a sharp blast of absurdity, made out of ampersands and em-dashes, which you occasionally give yourself over to for a few minutes at a time.
It's also a funny game, not in the sense that it has lots of jokes, but because it's presented so straightforwardly, like of course you can buy swords with candies and talk shop with helpful dragons. Candy Box 2 was developed by a Frenchman, but its sensibilities recall Japanese masterpieces like Little King's Story and Jet Set Radio in that it is self-assuredly and willfully weird without feeling the need to impress its bizarreness upon the gamer. You can enchant a crown that makes your character spray blocky orange fireballs from every part of his three-character body. It's delightful slapstick and also just a very useful enchantment.
Candy Box 2 may be another low-rent browser game with all sorts of technical limitations, but aniwey's approach to game design is universally instructive. It's an argument for laconicness and restraint, for making a game that's thoughtful and smart and funny without assaulting the gamer with the fact that it is those things. It's a lowbrow, frivolous-seeming game that, through interacting with it, you realize is actually quite intuitive and charming. It's unlike anything I've played in a long time because it trusts you to figure out its appeal. It's a game for smart people, not just one constructed by a smart person. That's a crucial difference.

Espadrilles Mens UK
Ever since Don Johnson rocked the espadrille in Miami Vice, these light and comfortable shoes are becoming a springtime/summer crucial. Characterised by a fabric or cotton fiber top material and a jute line design, males's espadrilles are witnessing exciting fashion designer reinventions which use colour, detail and printing to revitalise this staple footwear. From radiant tones and retro patterns to heavy prints, striking layouts and remarkable color blends, these modern twists provide by themselves beautifully into framework and surface of an espadrille. Casually slipped on with a couple of short pants, jeans or cargo jeans, this number of guys's espadrilles is the perfect method to integrate fresh trends to your look while taking pleasure in a comfy shoe that lets your foot inhale.
Decrease the classic everyday path by wearing your pick of the period's men's espadrilles with a pair of chinos and a printed t-shirt, while teaming your espadrilles with tapered pants and a blazer gives a smarter side on appearance. Prints and habits continue steadily to dominate the fashion globe, and then we love the variety in this choice of guys's espadrilles. For a subtle method, choose a block color in a bright shade, or choose for a fun and eye-catching design such as for example a tropical print or multicoloured stripe. Imprinted types will really get noticed against a neutral appearance like dark denims, while classic types in nude shades will be the perfect option to set-off busier clothes.

Speaking of Jeff Beck
I've been a huge Jeff Beck fan since about the age of 12 or so...Hard to believe, probably, but oddly enough, my dad turned me onto him after finding me air guitaring along to Van Halen one evening. "Oddly enough" because my dad was almost exclusively an Outlaw Country kinda guy, ya know? All I know is Jeff Beck, while being fairly famous and well-respected, is still perhaps the most overlooked and underappreciated guitarist I can think of...An utterly amazing player, and a true master of melody...What's perhaps most impressive of all, to me, is that throughout his 40+ year career, he has been constantly evolving and has never been afraid to embrace and experiment with new technologies and the styles those technologies birth...A true seeker, through and through...

How to make the most of record low interest rates
Rod Myer| The New Daily| 15 May 2016
Australian interest rates are at record lows as the nation catches up with the deflationary mood that has swept the rest of the world.
But don't rush to lock in your mortgage to a fixed rate just yet.
The surprise 0.25 basis point rate cut by the Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) pushed the cash rate down to 1.75 per cent. While that's low by Australian standards, in Europe rates are closer to zero or even negative (where you pay the bank to warehouse your money).
The banks moved quickly to cut rates in response. Mortgage rates with a 'three' in front of them are now available.
The latest research from Canstar shows that while the average standard variable mortgage rate is 4.77 per cent, it is possible to find deals of 3.73 per cent.
If you were to fix your mortgage for three years you could get a deal as cheaply as 3.89 per cent. But there are two reasons why it might not be a good idea to move in that direction.
One is that the professional market is tipping more rate cuts.
More rate cuts likely
Independent economist Stephen Koukoulas told The New Daily the futures market (where traders speculate on future rate movements) "is predicting only a 25 per cent likelihood of a rate cut in June. But for August the likelihood is 85 per cent".
According to the futures market, the cash rate is expected to be 1.54 per cent in August, he said.
Looking further ahead, Laurie Conheady, fixed income strategist with investment house JB Were, said "the market has priced in a rate cut by October and it is starting to price in another by March".
That means by next March interest rates could have come off another 0.5 percentage points, with the cash rate sitting on 1.25 per cent.
Were you to lock in a fixed rate mortgage now, you could find yourself sitting on a mortgage rate for a few years above where a standard variable loan might be.
The fixed rate market tends to move slower than the rest of the market. The current minimum benchmark for a three-year fixed loan is 3.89 per cent compared to 3.99 per cent a year earlier.
So if you're thinking of fixing it might be a good idea to wait.
There could be a sting in fixing rates
David Simon, principal of advisor Integral Private Wealth, said home buyers need to be very careful when moving to a fixed rate loan.
"If you fix a loan and interest rates fall further, the costs of breaking out of the agreement could be massive. It could quite easily be in the tens of thousands."
Another problem with fixed rate loans is they offer very little opportunity to boost your repayments of principal if you get the opportunity, Mr Simon said.
"With a variable you can pay in as much as you like."
The March quarter consumer price index (CPI) came in at negative 0.2 per cent, meaning the economy is officially suffering deflation. Were that to continue, paying down debt would become increasingly attractive as debt would grow in relative terms as prices fell, Mr Simon said.
A sensible way to deal with the low rate environment may be to lock in a part of your mortgage when rates fall further and leave part in a variable to pay down as quickly as possible.
More news on deflationary pressures emerged with analysts from investment bank UBS saying the returns on equity of the big banks is the lowest it has been since the global financial crisis. Ratings group Moody's said bad debts in the banking sector were rising.

The National Young Farmers Coalition (NYFC) released a report entitled "Farmland Conservation 2.0: How Land Trusts Can Save America's Working Farms." The report outlines the ways that current farmland conservation practices are failing to keep land in production and farmland affordable to farmers. The report highlights innovative farmland conservation models and reinforces Equity Trust's message of the importance of keeping farms working and land affordable. Finally, the report recommends policy reforms and urges land trusts to provide leadership on the issue and work with young and beginning farmers.
Equity Trust is pleased to be collaborating with the NYFC in offering guidance to land trusts around the country on methods for preserving permanently affordable working farms. Lindsey Lusher Shute, a farmer at Hearty Roots CSA in Clermont, Columbia County, NY and co-founder and Director of the NYFC, and Equity Trust Director Jim Oldham co-presented on the topic of affordable farms (together with Vermont Land Trust and Scenic Hudson) at the Land Trust Alliance Rally in September.

China is eyeing closer ties with the UAE as the world's top crude importer diversifies its oil and gas assets and navigates US tariffs, a slowdown of Iranian crude exports and a transition to a cleaner economy.
The world's second-largest economy is in the middle of a makeover to a growth that is less driven by full-throttle industrialisation, characterised by polluting factories that smog up the Beijing skies. China is adopting a cleaner model as it pursues its own ambitions of being a key player in regional and international geopolitics.
To achieve this shift, China is moving away from coal-fired industry and power stations to possibly deriving nearly 85 per cent of all its energy requirements from renewable resources by 2050.
For China, the world's top consumer of electricity, estimated to have used about 6.31 trillion kilowatt hours in 2017 alone, ensuring consistent and reliable sources of fuel to generate power is critical. For comparison, the US uses about half that amount, the EU about a third. Hence for China, securing enough energy is critical to ensure the smooth functioning of its gargantuan economy and its long-term strategy.
However, a transition to a cleaner economy that will run on energy from the sun and wind is a decades-long process, with China remaining hungry for alternative cleaner fuels to draw down pollution levels.
"In the next two to three decades there will be a gap in this transition. Other cleaner energy needs to fill this gap and it will be something between coal and renewables so it will be cleaner than coal and easier to be used than renewables and that will be gas," says Kaho Yu, an associate of geopolitics of energy project at Harvard Kennedy School.
China has already made headway in securing gas resources, imported via a pipeline from Russia or Kazakhstan. China also imports cargoes of liquefied natural gas, for which it is the world's second-largest buyer and on the path to overtake Japan this year. However, CEFC China Energy's agreement, made in September, to buy a 14.16 per cent stake in Russian oil major Rosneft for $9.1 billion has collapsed following corruption allegations. So beyond Russia, China has upped its search for newer sources and newer partners, including in the Arabian Gulf region.
"If the UAE can secure a gas deal with China or [new] investment with Chinese companies then I think they will bring the energy relationship closer," adds Mr Yu.
Relations between the Middle East's fourth-largest producer and the biggest consumer of the region's oil have edged closer over the past year, with China, an explorer for oil and gas in Iran and Iraq, looking for more stable and secure, lower-cost barrels, in Abu Dhabi.

Against this backdrop, Chinese President Xi Jinping will be in Abu Dhabi for a three-day visit from today. The historic state visit has been preceded by several high-level visits by Dr Sultan Al Jaber, the chief executive of Abu Dhabi National Oil Company, the UAE's primary oil producer accounting for about 4.5 per cent of the world's total output.
Adnoc will look to broaden its engagement with state-owned China National Petroleum Corporation in the downstream value chain during the presidential visit, following Adnoc's recent announcement of the strategy for the sector, an Adnoc spokesman told The National.
The engagement will be in the realm of "polymers, technology and market access" through a strategic partnership, he added. Unlike other Middle Eastern countries, such as Iran and Libya, the UAE is deemed to be "politically stable" with no "major disruptions in its energy sector", says Christopher Len, a senior research fellow at the National University of Singapore's Energy Studies Institute.
Foreign oil asset purchases are viewed by China as one of the key pillars to ensure its energy security. Beijing has increasingly looked towards Abu Dhabi to provide cheap risk-free crude, with about 250,000 barrels per day being produced by Adnoc alongside its Chinese partners, with 120,000 bpd destined for China.
Chinese companies, which were awarded about $1bn worth of offshore concessions in March, are also eyeing six blocks on offer as part of Adnoc's first licensing round this year. At a conference in Beijing in May, Tayba Al Hashemi, acting chief executive of Adnoc unit Al Yasat Petroleum, said Chinese firms had shown considerable interest in the bidding round.
"The awarding of stakes in Abu Dhabi's offshore and onshore concessions to CNPC is just one example of how the growing energy collaboration is enhancing the broader bilateral relations between the two countries," a spokesman for Adnoc said.
The UAE's growing financial sector and place in the Middle East as a major trading hub aligns naturally as China's connection point in the context of its Belt and Road Initiative, says Mr Len.
Belt and Road, which has become central to China's foreign policy and economic ventures abroad, was unveiled by Mr Xi in 2013. It seeks to replicate the ancient Silk Road by modern day pathways forged primarily through large-scale infrastructure investment, financed by Beijing.
The initiative, which has resulted in massive Chinese investments along the ancient arteries of commerce in Central and South Asia, as well as stretching to include new territories in Africa, envisions the oil-rich nations of the Gulf as key players along the route.
In one stretch of infrastructure development known as the China Pakistan Economic Corridor connecting the Pakistani eastern port city of Gwadar with the Chinese province of Xinjiang, Beijing saw an easier off-take route for Middle East crude to reach domestic markets.
Savings on shipping time and insurance would generate much-needed efficiencies for the Chinese economy, according to Weng Inn Chin, senior oil market analyst at the Singapore office of consultancy Facts Global Energy. China depends on Middle East supply to meet 42 per cent of its crude requirements, with regional imports remaining a "critical component of its fuel mix, even long-term," he added.
However, other analysts such as Neelam Deo, director of Mumbai think tank Gateway House, differ on China's achievable ambitions through the CPEC. She notes that development of Gwadar, while championed as a Middle East crude receiving terminal, may be more strategic in nature.
Other analysts such as Amit Bhandari, fellow of energy and environment at the Indian think tank, see Chinese engagement in the UAE as part of a larger trend to secure the adoption for its petroyuan. China advanced the currency in May to allow for oil imports to be priced in the yuan instead of the dollar. The UAE has been an early adopter of the yuan for more than three quarters of all transactions with China and has established a yuan clearing house. China, which over the past year has emerged as one of the top foreign investors in the Abu Dhabi upstream sector, could well include the UAE as part of the petroyuan's wider circuit.
"China started buying [foreign] energy assets in the late '90s and so far they have acquired around one million bpd oil production from these assets," says Mr Bhandari.
"[To ensure its energy security], China is also trying to convert a larger part of the global oil trade from the dollar to the yuan. The idea is that China is the world's largest importer of oil in the world right now and they can push for a petroyuan [as] part of [its] larger strategy to try and internationalise its currency," he adds.
The UAE, which through hubs such as Jebel Ali remains at the heart of global trade, could play a critical role in China's modern-day Silk Road, particularly at a time of worsening relations with the US after Washington slapped trade tariffs on Beijing this month.
China, which has made its appetite for gas well known in the markets, is considering imposing retaliatory tariffs on US LNG imports, a particularly harsh move at a time of heightened US shale gas supply.
"They need more gas and they would probably need to be cutting down, so it would make sense for them to be looking for additional sources in any case," says Mr Bhandari.

Can the Booster Power Supply be Installed in the Ceiling?
Mr. Krantz
Douglas, I am working on a fire alarm systems project. The contractor has installed a Booster Power Supply (BPS) unit above the ceiling. The Construction Manager on the project asked the BPS be relocated to a more accessible location. The contractor is asking that he be paid extra for the relocation of the BPS, since the initial location of BPS meets the code. On your web site, you have the following comment about the location of BPS "Above the ceiling (not supposed to be, but I've seen them there)", can you refer me to a fire alarm or BPS code which prohibits contractor from installing the BPS above the ceiling?
Thank you.
Keep in mind the practical aspects of the installation. The fire alarm system isn't going to be removed after the warranty period; the fire alarm system is going to be in place as long as the building stands. Not only that, but the Booster Power Supply (BPS) requires regular maintenance, including replacement of the batteries every three to four years.
Junction boxes, with wire junctions that don't have to be looked at for many years, aren't a service problem. Boxes that have to be accessed on an annual basis and have to be serviced regularly become a service problem if they're hidden above the ceiling and have to be accessed by ladders or lifts.
The extra service costs are not paid by the contractor, the extra service costs are not paid by the installation company, the extra service costs are not really paid by the service company, the extra service costs that start occurring after the warranty period are passed on to the owner of the building. It's the owners of the building that will be paying for the extra cost of maintenance for as long as the building stands.
Make It Work - Conventional Fire Alarms
Technically, to be serviced properly, the BPS is an electrical panel that has to be located in an accessible location. If you check your NEC (NFPA70) code book, there are references to electrical panels and the required accessibility of the panels.
I'm not sure of the exact location of the rules, but don't BPSs fall under the electrical control cabinet rules of the NEC (NFPA70)? It does have a 110 volt connection to it.
Check with the Electrical Inspector (this may or may not open a can of worms) and ask the inspector about the mounting of electrical control cabinets, with batteries and electronic fire alarm control equipment, and see what the inspector thinks. The NFPA is really only guidelines to follow; the electrical inspector is the authority who makes final decisions.

Curated by Giacinto Di Pietrantonio and Maria Cristina Rodeschini, it showcases the image of Italy around the world in the multiplicity of its visual expressions: from cinema to art, literature, design, and both the élite and pop culture, as viewed through 200 works by great Italian and international artists and 'things and events' from the 19th century to nowadays, such as the writings of Rita Levi Montalcini that earned her a Nobel Prize.
The exhibition, staged to celebrate the 150th anniversary of the Unification of Italy, demonstrates the decisive influence of artistic creation on the practical organization of the country's social life, above all in the past century and a half of history. The Wonderful Land of Art thus offers significant historical examples, such as the portraits of approximately 200 Garibaldians from the Bergamo area who took part in the Expedition of the Thousand, or a series of caricatures of members of the Italian Parliament, sketched by Senator Sebastiano Tecchio on parliamentary letterhead in the late 19th century. In these works, memory captured by art is reflected as the convergence of past and present in ethics and aesthetics, in related fields such as architecture and design as well as very different ones such as the local landscape, religion and politics.
Each room also showcases objects – votive offerings, books, sports trophies – become icons of the Italian identity. Indeed, their presence establishes a comparison between the pure ideal of avant-garde art and the testimony of spontaneous, popular or industrial creativity. The exhibition also investigates the idea of country or nation and the cultural, social and aesthetic processes that have characterized its formation. As opposed to other European nations, in Italy the main unifying culture element has been art or, rather, the arts. Hence the exhibition title The Wonderful Land of Art, as Italy is a place of excellence for its continuity and unique aesthetic touch.
With this exhibition, visitors have the chance to explore the places and moments that were part of the origin and construction of the nation-state as a united entity – the flag, the language, the national anthem, borders, the map, the religious culture, monuments and sports – also through works that mimic or define forms of political, aesthetic, geographical or identity-related representation. Through them, the exhibition moves beyond the limitation of the artistic object to engage directly with reality and its structures, with examples such as biking champion Felice Gimondi's pink jersey, Giacinto Facchetti's football jersey, the European Ski Cup and the uniform of Fausto Radici's Valanga Azzurra, the alpine ski team.
