Cops & Robbers
The October issue of Cops & Robbers is out now! Cops & Robbers is a free DIY listings zine. It is run by volunteers and survives on donations and benefit gigs from the DIY community.
This month the illustrations were done by me & Nick of The Print Project. The pictures illustrate a 6-line 'fact-haiku' (written by me!) about the nature of activism. Over the past couple of weeks we've been typesetting and letterpress printing the text and illustrations. This is one of the projects that has been keeping me from updating this blog.
You can pick up a copy of Cops & Robbers at the Brudenell Social Club, at Jumbo Records, or at any DIY gig in Leeds.

With our first ever camping trip in Hansel to Bala done and dusted, we were thirsty for more camper van action as soon as humanly possible. Luckily for us, the weekend after our Bala trip was free of obligations, and with it still being low season, booking a pitch was no bother, even at such short notice.
Once again, we selected a campsite based on the activity we wanted to do, in this case, road biking in our beloved Peak District. We took a spot at Laneside Caravan Park in Hope. We already knew the area quite well for road biking, and it had the added advantage of being just a short drive away.
Riding route plotted on Strava, Hansel packed up and ready to go, we set off in a bit of a rush after work on the Friday, hoping to get there before dark.
Is that kitty litter?
On arrival, we were shown to our pitch. Having only really camped in tents previously, I had no experience of 'hard standing' pitches whatsoever, and was mildly surprised to discover that our outdoor space was composed of a large rectangle of small white stones and gravel. This bore an uncanny resemblance to kitty litter, which I spent the entire weekend stepping onto far too heavily without any shoes on, and paying the painful price.
I couldn't really complain though, as it was more practical than a grass pitch in the rain that obviously followed. Besides which, our eyes were constantly pulled instead, towards the lovely views of Win Hill in the distance.
The riding
Our route would take us over the three 'stingers' of the Strines, three consecutive hills, the last of which is ominously named 'Deliverance'. We then planned to loop around to Glossop in order to climb Snake Pass, a long, winding road which cuts through the High Peak Estate. At just over 4 miles in length, and an average gradient of around 5%, it's a decent climb with impressive moorland views.
The weather was particularly forgiving that day (phew), and so was the traffic come to think of it – even on the notorious Woodhead Pass – so we passed a thoroughly enjoyable day ticking off 52 miles and 4,500 feet of ascent. (If I did this ride again, I think I'd take Holme Moss rather than ride over Woodhead Pass, quite a lot of extra ascent, but much nicer roads.)
The campsite
We went for an 'all weather' serviced pitch at Laneside Caravan Park. Despite the initial surprise at the 'kitty litter' surface, it was actually very practical and we didn't mind it one bit. Where we parked the van itself was spacious and perfectly level, and the staff were friendly and helpful. You can even get takeaway deliveries to the red phone box on site if you don't fancy cooking!
The facilities are very decent too, nice and clean. The site is a short walk to Hope's lovely little village centre, where you'll find just about everything you need, including excellent pubs and tearooms.
It's perfectly situated for hilly road riding, as well as epic mountain biking and hiking straight out of the door. It's also well positioned for local attractions, such as the caverns at Castleton, and rock climbing. We'd definitely return, there's so much you can do here.
Thoughts on the trip
Another camping trip done, and the novelty factor is still definitely there! One aspect we've noticed, and this is true of all modes of camping I guess, is that you should expect everything to take twice as long, whether that's cooking or showering or whatever. We found ourselves slowing down, and taking our time over everything, and that somehow made it more enjoyable. It became part of the experience, rather than just something to get out of the way to make room for other stuff. With our busy lives spent shoehorning as much into a day as possible, this new pace of life out in the open air was a real tonic. Yes, more of this please!

Good morning. Cedarcrest High School's girls' volleyball team is getting itself into winning form, with another victory last night.
The Red Wolves held off Sammamish 25-19, 25-23, 20-25, 25-14 at Sammamish High School in Bellevue, with Taeler Gerde leading the way; CHS' Gerde had 11 kills and four aces to pace Cedarcrest. Briana Deveraux had eight kills, Kami Leslie had six aces and four kills, and Noha Elbahouty had five aces all pacing the Red Wolves, who next play tomorrow at a tournament in Snohomish hosted by Glacier Peak High School.
Also from volleyball, this college note:
Central Washington def. St. Martin's, 25-20, 25-23, 25-14: At home in Ellensburg, the host Wildcats swept the Saints. Sophomore Liz Larson, from Snoqualmie and a 2015 Mount Si HS grad, had a block and two digs for St. Martin's in the contest.
Here's the rest of this morning's news. We'll have football picks and previews shortly.
Mount Si boys' golf wins Senior Day match with Skyline
Freshman Drew Warford keeps getting better with every tournament he plays, scoring a season best 33 yesterday helping Mount Si eke out a 187-191 win over Skyline at Mount Si Golf Course in Snoqualmie (lower score wins) on Senior Day.
Jordan Lau, one of four seniors playing their last match as a Wildcat at home, fired a 37 pacing Mount Si. Gavin Gorrell fired a 39 while Jake Brady added a 40 aiding the Wildcat efforts. The fourth senior, A.J. Archambeau, did not compete.
Freshman Cooper Neil and juniors Mike Olson and Andrew Mischke all fired 39's as well to contribute to the win for Mount Si, who wraps up the regular season next week at Inglewood Country Club in Kenmore.
College soccer
Central Washington women 4, Western Oregon 1: North Bend's own Michaela "K.K." Wallace scored a goal for Central as they rolled to the GNAC home win in Ellensburg over the visiting Wolves. Wallace, a sophomore and 2015 MSHS alum, scored the goal in the 74th minute off a feed from teammate Allie Bohnett. The tally was the first of the season – and second collegiately – for Wallace, who came off the bench and played over 30 minutes of the game, with the goal being on her lone shot on goal in the contest.
Seattle Pacific men 1, Montana State Billings 1: Regulation and two extra sessions were not enough for the Falcons and visiting Yellowjackets in Seattle last night as the two teams ended in a draw in a GNAC contest. Senior Davis Karaica, from Snoqualmie and a 2012 Mount Si HS alum, started on defense for SPU and worked all 110 minutes with no stats of note reported. Junior Chris Cole, from Duvall and a Cedarcrest HS grad, did not play for the Falcons.
California 4, Washington women 1: The Huskies fell on the road last night to the Bears in Berkeley in the first leg of their Bay Area weekend swing. Senior Miranda Rawlings, from North Bend and a 2013 Mount Si High School alum, played limited minutes off the bench in the second half for the UW with no stats of note reported.

I rarely plan for activities on my days off, but the Discovery Times Square in NYC made it easy to get admission online on short notice. I decided the Star Wars and the Power of Costume exhibit would tide me over until The Force Awakens premiers the following weekend. The last time I saw actual artifacts from the films was The Power of Myth exhibit that stopped by in Brooklyn ages ago. This time around, the focused theme of costumes made the exhibit more compact. Yet there was plenty to see because the exhibit encompassed both original and prequel trilogies.
From Star Wars Celebration Europe II, a presentation panel about the next CG series Star Wars Rebels reveals some concept art heavily influenced by the late Ralph McQuarrie.
The Force is now with JJ Abrams to direct Star Wars Episode VII.
I wasn't expecting progress to happen so quickly since the news of Disney acquiring Lucasfilm back around Halloween 2012. Even more surprising was the initial report of Abrams declining the director's chair when early candidate names were bandied about.
Trekkers were usually bemoaning the opinion that Abrams, an avowed SW fan, brought too much of Star Wars (and lens flares) into the 2009 Star Trek movie; so I guess the SW universe is in safe hands as it now moves forward.
Wow, imagine that. Episode VII will happen in our lifetimes. Then VIII and IX… And that means more toys to come! 🙂

In 2002, Larry Levin and his twin sons, Dan and Noah, took their terminally ill cat to the Ardmore Animal Hospital outside Philadelphia to have the beloved pet put to sleep. What would begin as a terrible day suddenly got brighter as the ugliest dog they had ever seen--one who was missing an ear and had half his face covered in scar tissue--ran up to them and captured their hearts.

As I leaned back against the bar, the crowd hushed as she walked out into the light.
Finally, she spoke. "Hi. I'm Linda Ronstadt."
The crowd stood and applauded. Her smile glowing as she gazed back into the audience. Then, they sat down, leaving only me standing in the back of the room. For only the briefest moment, our eyes caught and held. It was all I needed.
I turned and walked to the door as the saxophone started playing. She began singing "Ooooh, Baby, Baby" as the door closed. I knew it was for me.

Keeping Up With The Joneses
This week at McCurdy's we welcome Dale Jones to the stage! Dale has been in the comedy world for over 25 years and it shows! In addition to his training at the world-renowned Second City, Dale has had numerous television appearances including TBS' The Very Funny Show, NBC's Last Comic Standing Season Six, Fox's 30 seconds to Fame and The Comedy Network in Canada. Also a regular on Sirius XM's "Blue Collar Channel," Dale has performed at countless colleges, corporate functions, cruise ships and comedy festivals. Dale and his wife, comedian Jodi White, also have a YouTube Channel in which they talk about everything from their personal and professional journeys in uproarious videos. This week, we have the privilege of being entertained by Dale from Wednesday through Sunday, and trust us- this will be a night to remember!
With a crazy style that leaves "high energy" in the dust, Dale's shows will keep you laughing from one joke to the next. With his machine-gun-style delivery punctuated with a healthy dose of animated faces, Dale's comedy quickly crosses into a full-body performance that will leave you in stitches. Combined with quick improvisations and well-placed physical comedy, he basically leaves the audience wishing they had his energy. His shows are always a night you won't soon forget. Let Dale Jones turn you inside out for a night and enjoy his ridiculously silly excuses for himself, for his behavior and for his energy. Come spend a fun-filled evening with us and Dale Jones at McCurdy's, this week from April 10-14!

Bernie of course, but all of them are WAY too far to the left.
And you can quote me on this: ANYONE VOTING FOR EMPTY SUIT BETO O'ROURKE IS AN UTTER FOOL.
If you want communism, vote for Sanders or Warren. If you're just a run of the mill Dem, vote for Biden.
But for the love of God, don't vote for an unknown, unqualified, boob, who switches his opinion at the flick of a switch.

I 've tested a lot of vpn . A first conclusion among all of the big vpns , none offers perfecly clean connection (dns problem with purevpn , black listed ip with nordvpn etc...) Mullvad is a very serious and efficient Vpn which perfectly do his job : fast , solid and clean connection , a software client for linux, osx and windows and uses vpn connect app for ios and Android , high security and privacy , Mullvad is not focused on business but is deeply involved in internet freedom causes . The number of locations is enought and don't forget that Mullvad give to his linux subscribers the possibility to use wireguard , an hyperfast and very promising protocol. I really love Mullvad the best vpn of whole internet
Mullvad.net is a VPN company based in Sweden. It is a small VPN company. If you don't know already, VPN is exempted from European Union Data Retention Directive. Even though a small player in the business, they have impressed everyone by advocating for internet freedom. They attacked eavesdropping by governments and internet censorship. They stood up for human rights and freedom of information. Well they didn't stop there. They came up with the best encryption and DNS leak protection. They also have come up with the feature like blocking your internet in the case of disconnection from the VPN server.

A risk factor makes the chances of getting a disease or condition higher. You can have metabolic syndrome with or without them. But, the more you have, the higher the risk.
Some can't be changed such as your age. Metabolic syndrome is more common in people aged 60 years and older.
Your chances of metabolic syndrome are higher for:
- Ethnic background such as in Mexican American women
- Obesity —this is mainly true if the weight is around your belly
- Getting little or no exercise
- Making poor food choices such as eating more sugar, fats, and calories
- Smoking
- Excess alcohol intake
- Certain medicines such as those to treat mental health problems

These Blackberry Lime Buttermilk Drop Scones are quick & easy to make in only about a half hour. Brunch guests will think you were up at the crack of dawn!
Drop scones are rustic yet somehow elegant in their own way. They do look quite pretty on a pure white plate and were exceptionally appreciated at our weekend brunch.
These drop scones are quite simple to make with no rolling or cutting. The dough is just dropped in large spoonfuls onto a parchment lined baking pan.
The only real trick is to make sure you are extra gentle with the dough so as not to break up the delicate blackberries. When I add the liquid to the dry ingredients, I just use a rubber spatula and keep folding and scraping the bottom of the bowl.
- pinch salt
- 2 cups flour
- 1/3 cup sugar
- 4 tsp baking powder
- 2 tbsp lime juice
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup buttermilk
- zest of two limes finely minced
- 1/2 cup very cold butter cubed
- 1 1/2 cups fresh blackberries
- I start these in my food processor because it is so fast but they can be made just as easily in a large bowl by cutting the butter in with a pastry blender or even 2 knifes held between the fingers.
- In a food processor, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, lime zest and salt.
- Cut in the cold butter by pulse processing until this mixture resembles a coarse meal. Remove to a large bowl and toss in the blackberries.
- Mix together the buttermilk, lime juice and vanilla extract.
- Pour this over the surface of the dry mixture. Toss all together gently with a rubber spatula, only enough to form a dough ball.
- Drop by heaping tablespoonfuls onto a parchment lined baking pan.Bake at 375 degrees F for 15 -20 minutes or until light golden brown. Baking time will vary depending on the size of your scones. This recipe makes about 12 large drop scones/

Members of Hathaway Brown's GROW Foundation are often asked: "If you had $1,000 to donate to the cause of your choice, where would you donate it and why?" This line of question was front and center at GROW's annual benefit on May 24.
"Girls Pitch In" featured a live pitch by three GROW grantees that focus on female empowerment. Representatives from Girls for the World, Merrick House and the Cleveland Christian Home each made presentations to a live audience and then fielded questions. At the end of the pitch, the audience was challenged to make donations to one or more of these organizations and/or to GROW in support of the 2016-2017 giving cycle. The pitch provided the audience with a taste of GROW's proposal review process, whereby members are forced to make difficult decisions about how to allocate scarce dollars in support of worthy causes. In total, the pitch generated approximately $1,000 in donations.
In addition, that evening, GROW awarded approximately $18,000 in grants to 22 nonprofits in Cleveland and beyond. Members of both the Middle and Upper School branches of GROW presented the awards, delivered personal testimonies about their experiences with philanthropy and service, and showed a year in review video created by Regan Brady '17.
For more information about GROW, please contact advisors Laura Zappas and Stephanie Hiedemann.

The use of gems to vitalize water is a traditional art dating from ancient Greece and practiced for millennia. Recently, this age old tradition has been rediscovered and tailored for the modern world.
Gemstones have the unique ability to store energy. It's a property that makes quartz watches work, for example! Each type of gem, by nature, has a unique energetic charge. The gems inside VitaJuwel vials transfer their energy to the water that surrounds the vial improving the water's vitalization level and promoting healing vibrations.
Since our bodies are composed of over 70% water, drinking pure healing water helps one heal from the inside out. Check out over 22 different healing combinations HERE

Costa | 23°C
In Costa again… Oh, Frikkin Gods.. What a Morning… 😩😖🤯😣😱☹ ‼
I have been through the ringer… Drained of everything and more that I have, and have ever had, inside… I've been pushed beyond what I am really capable of coping with, dealing with, managing…
S pointed out that, Regardless, I am still managing it, because I am not actually having a Meltdown.
That's… fair. I'm not. But it's WW3 inside me and it's suffocating me… 😖😣 … crushing me…
It started with sleeping in. Until nearly 1pm…! 🤬😱🤯🥺
After the last few days, and some careful planning of the day, that was so entirely unacceptable!! 🥺😖😖😖 Dear Gods, we were supposed to be in the shopping centre by then!
It destroyed my insides… Wrecked them apart and tore them, like an IED went off inside… This is was the Dragon of Disappointment going bananas inside me, and burning everything that I had inside. I was done…
Somehow, S soothed me enough to help me wrap some kind of shell around the devastation, and allow me to at least try and function. Slowly, I got dressed and even managed a little makeup (even if it wasn't exactly… great).`
However, it was late when we got out. Around 2:30pm. It was so hard for me to process this. My reasoning was, in the main, that the extra sleep — for me, at least, — was utterly pointless, and a complete waste of time.
To my horror, I had inadvertently squandered precious time outside, to sticking to a good plan for a nice and relaxing day outside — and instead spent extra hours in bed sleeping.
I have Fibromyalgia, and the symptoms that are the basic foundation of Chronic Fatigue — there is no way in hell that any of my sleep was going to be helpful, restful, recuperating, or healing. So, any "lie in" was a complete and utter waste of time.
This bugs me so much… I try to work so hard to master this damned curse inflicted upon my mind and body… and yet, still, it manages to somehow get the better of me, when I am at my weakest, to wreck havoc with my mind.
The Dragon of Disappointment is merciless… Fear and Cold Terror turns everything white and frozen… Panic and Horror make everything explode like devastating fireworks in an oil rig — leaving nothing in its wake but ashes and embers and ruins…
It all makes my Aspic/Autie brain hurt. It goes into hyperdrive, and then destroys itself completely, and then everything else along with it.
It turns it into a blabbering mess; a pile of burned ash, slushed into a soggy mess in the torrential downpour of the storms that harm it so greatly… Until there is nothing left, and I am naught but a shell of emptiness and a robot in Shutdown.
It might be marginally better, and less destructive… but only on the outside and to other people… But it is still a horrific and destructive and Traumatic thing to endure, nevertheless.
It leaves its mark. It leaves it deeply — because it is not flung out into the Nether, like things are in a Meltdown. The Meltdown blows its top, and violently expels everything that you find within it that has hurt and harmed it so much, it has done this.
A Shutdown, however, Implodes, scarring everything inside, blowing everything on the inside, causing the devastation there instead. Arguably, to me and my mental health, it is worse. And even worse than that… Nobody can see it…
I've done nothing to deserve all of this.
I've bent over backwards, and all ways, to try and be good, try and contain myself under extremely stressful and frightening circumstances.
And yet… More just keeps coming. 😖😖😖
I think I am aware now that it will probably Never End… But this Warrior is tired… Needs a little R&R from this… war of ill-health — of a broken body, a broken mind, and a broken spirit…

The Giants have always been traditionally, you know, pretty shitty in the air* but with a solid running game and a killer defense. The team has been shifting its focus over the past few years, though, relying more on the passing game and less and less on the running game and defense to win. Of course, they just had a horrible season last year, so maybe that's not a good thing. ;)
Anyways, it'll be interesting to see where they go with this. It could be really exciting to see this bright young QB come in and transform the team - they've had a pretty decent bunch of receivers now for a while, but with the incredibly streaky Collins behind the line they never knew if the ball would be going to them - perfectly - or if it'd be sailing into the arms of the opposing defense. Hopefully Manning will bring some much-needed consistency and accuracy to the team.
Of course, this poses the question: what happens to Collins? As I understand it he refuses to be the #2 QB, which means they'll have a tough decision: trade him, let him finish out his last year as the #1 and give Manning a chance to warm up, or...? The Giants could really use a solid backup QB, and I think if they were willing, the best of both worlds would be to let Collins finish out his last year as a starter while Manning observed and took the occasional snap, then swap Manning and Collins and let Collins be the best backup they'd have had since... I dunno, Hostetler I suppose.
* - ok, that's not true, but that is the team stereotype. They've actually had a lot of good QBs over the years.

Data working group will do little to help NZers
The Government must be upfront with the public that it wants to stop using data and, in doing so, will throw away the greatest opportunity in a generation to improve the lives of vulnerable New Zealanders, National's Spokesperson for Social Investment Paula Bennett says.
"Minister Sepuloni today said that the Government will work with the 'social sector to develop a single shared set of rules and tools for the use and protection of personal information in the social sector'.
"National has already done that – it's called the Data Futures Partnership, and it delivered a report on the use of data in August 2017. 'A Path to Social Licence' made a number of recommendations to help organisations work with data in a way that builds trust with individuals and the community.
"The report reflects what thousands of New Zealanders told us as we engaged with people across the country. Now, the Government wants to ignore that and restart the conversation – presumably because it didn't tell the Government what it wanted to hear.
"The only explanation for the Government's decision today to form yet another working group, after years of work on how we use and protect data, is because they fundamentally don't believe data will make a difference to the delivery of social services.
"The Social Investment model is a tool designed to break down silos to ensure vulnerable New Zealanders get access to services targeted to their specific need.
"The Ardern-Peters Government gutted the Privacy Act reforms championed by Amy Adams, and ignored recommendations and advice from the Data Futures Partnership and their own Social Investment Agency.
"It seems ideologically driven to not make any changes that would see data utilised for the betterment of New Zealanders.
"All we will see while the Government blocks important reforms to data usage is more vulnerable New Zealanders missing out on opportunities to move out of dependency."
Highest proportion of women in NZ Parliament
The New Zealand Parliament now boasts the highest proportion of women in its history, and that's cause for celebration National's spokesperson for Women Paula Bennett says.
"With the recent return of West Coast-Tasman list MP Maureen Pugh and the swearing in of Wellington Central list MP Nicola Willis, the proportion of female MPs has now grown to 40 per cent.
"National leads the charge on promoting women and developing policy settings that have encouraged women to make the enormous gains that they have in recent years.
"Under our watch, women held 45 percent of governance roles appointed by Ministers onto State sector boards and committees, and we had a strong line-up of women in senior Cabinet positions which has continued in Opposition shadow portfolios.
"We have come a long way since women gained the right to vote in 1893 and first female MP was elected in 1933 - but there is still more work to be done to ensure gender equality.
"Pay equity goes right to the heart of equality issues. It is very disappointing that this Ardern-Peters Government has now twice blocked progress to address pay equity. First, by putting pay equity legislation introduced last year on ice and most recently by voting down Denise Lees' Private Members Bill that would have reintroduced that legislation.
"I want to congratulate Nicola on her election to Parliament.
"Along with the 18 other women in National's Caucus, Nicola is a great example of a strong, resourceful and capable politician. Change comes from the top and more women in Parliament will only help this," Mrs Bennett says.
National leads the charge on promoting women
On a day dedicated to celebrating the social, economic, cultural and political achievements of women, National is proud to be setting the parity agenda, Spokesperson for Women Paula Bennett says.
"It's International Women's Day and I stand proud alongside my fellow wahine as a mother, a grandmother, a politician, a wife and a fisherman (in no particular order) as an example of what we can do and what we can be given the opportunities.
"It's a fact that in the National Party we have a number of very smart, formidable women who've carved out some exceptional careers for themselves both inside and outside of Parliament – and it's a real focus of ours to ensure we promote talent in our Caucus based on merit, and not just to meet quotas.
"National's done a great job in developing and promoting policy settings that have encouraged women to make the gains that they have in recent years.
"Under our watch women held 45 percent of governance roles appointed by Ministers onto State sector boards and committees, and we had a strong line-up of women in senior Cabinet positions, which has continued in Opposition shadow portfolios.
"The New Zealand economy has undergone robust growth in recent years and it's no accident that the labour force participation rate for women is almost 65 percent, the highest rate ever.
"The gender pay gap has reduced by 16.3 percent in 1998 to 9.4 percent – but we all agree, there's still more to be done to close that. The $2 billion pay equity settlement that National made last year to 55,000 aged care workers has meant that some of our hardest working women received an average of $100 a week more in their hand.
"Change comes from the top and it's a shame to see there are now fewer women in senior Cabinet positions under the Labour-led Government than there were under National.
"The Prime Minister is a great example of how women are more than capable of grabbing opportunities and running with them. I hope that her words turn into action when it comes to equal pay for women and she continues the work that National started," Mrs Bennett says.
PM in the dark over her Ministers' conflicts of interest
It beggars belief that Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern today admitted she has no idea whether her Education Minister, Associate Education Minister or Employment Minister have declared actual or perceived conflicts of interest in relation to partnership schools, Deputy Leader of the Opposition Paula Bennett says.
"Declaring actual or perceived conflicts of interest with the Cabinet Office is an incredibly important part of protecting both ministerial interests and the organisations that Ministers are involved in.
"It ensures there are no improper interactions between a Minister exercising their responsibilities as Minister and organisations that might have an interest in decisions made by the Government.
"Ministers who are local MPs have, in the past, registered their perceived conflicts of interest in dealing with local schools.
"Associate Education Minister Kelvin Davis has admitted to the House that he has been involved in negotiations and conversations with partnership schools in his electorate. This despite the very clear guidance from the Cabinet Manual which says 'Where the member also holds the relevant portfolio or is the Associate Minister, further measures, as set out in paragraphs 2.73 – 2.74, are likely to be needed to manage any possible conflict.'
"This clearly shows that Kelvin Davis should have declared his actual or perceived conflicts in relation to partnership schools.
"And yet today, when pressed on whether she had checked the register of conflicts of interest – or even asked the Cabinet Office - the Prime Minister admitted that she had not and felt no need to.
"Frankly, I'm surprised that the Cabinet Office hasn't proactively addressed this with the Prime Minister.
"This is a serious matter and the Prime Minister should deal with conflicts of interest appropriately and within the parameters of the Cabinet Manual," Mrs Bennett says.
National to support 1st reading of child poverty legislation
National will support the Government's proposed child poverty legislation to its first reading but won't guarantee any ongoing support unless it agrees to amendments that will ensure it measurably improves deprivation, National's spokesperson for Children Paula Bennett says.
"National is committed to reducing child poverty, achieving tangible results and promoting policies which are evidence-based and we know actually work," Mrs Bennett says.
"The current Child Poverty Reduction Bill is full of positive intentions and virtue signalling but contains no substance to address the drivers of deprivation. We want to see it include succinct elements to make progress more measurable and ambitious.
"We will support the Prime Minister's Bill through its first reading today, but further support will be contingent on the Government supporting our Supplementary Order Papers (SOPs) which require the legislation to include Better Public Services targets.
"These targets will require substantial reduction in a number of measures of poverty.
"A further requirement of our support is that the Government sets more ambitious targets to reduce the number of children in material hardship.
"As it stands the ten year targets the Prime Minister has set will actually lift fewer children out of material hardship than National's Family Incomes package, which the Government legislated against, and will actually take longer to take effect.
"We want to see the number of children in material hardship reduced from 150,000 to 50,000 in three years.
"We also want to see the number of children living in low income households reduced. National proposed to lift 100,000 children out of low income households by 2020, whereas the Labour Government only aims to lift 70,000 out. We believe that with prioritised, targeted spending, our target of 100,000 can be achieved.
"National believes our Social Investment approach is essential to targeting spending to lift children out of poverty. We will therefore be tabling a further SOP requiring the Government to use Social Investment to direct funding to families and communities so they get the resources to assist them in the way which works for their families.
"I have written to the Prime Minister outlining National's conditional support of her Bill and my expectation that, in the spirit of bipartisanship - and of taking the politics out of child poverty – she will consider our proposals.
"A plan that will really, truly tackle child poverty must address the drivers of social dysfunction and hold the public service accountable, not just rely on the Government's good intentions," Mrs Bennett says.
Govt simply picking up where National left off
The new Government has taken a good first step in helping support our vulnerable kids by picking up where National left off, the Party's spokesperson for Children Paula Bennett says.
"Tracey Martin's announcement that the Government is putting $27 million to better support children and young people in care is a welcome move.
"I'm glad to see she's picking up where we left off but she shouldn't pretend these are new initiatives.
"This money is all contingency funding that we set aside in last year's Budget.
"In 2017 the then Minister, Anne Tolley, announced $434.1 million in funding over five years for Oranga Tamariki, to support vulnerable children and young people – that was an 18 per cent funding increase over two years.
"That money was set aside to do so much more than what Ms Martin has announced today.
"Thanks to our economic stewardship, the National Government was able to fund the Ministry to provide additional support for caregivers, to expand Family Start and continue Children's Teams, to improve accommodation for young people on remand, and enhance feedback and complaints processes.
"Ms Martin talks a lot about early intervention so it makes sense for the Government to adopt National's world-leading Social Investment toolkit to root out the causes of hardship.
"The Government also has great opportunities to further reduce child poverty with the strong job growth and budget surpluses we left behind," Mrs Bennett says.
Govt's child poverty figures all smoke and mirrors
The Government is hiding behind a smokescreen and is blustering about the number of children it plans to lift out of poverty, National's spokesperson for Children Paula Bennett says.
"National's Family Incomes Package was projected to lift 50,000 children out of poverty on 1 April 2018. It would have given 1.2 million working Kiwis an extra $1060 per year in the hand – and, we had committed to undertake a further package in 2020 that would have had a similar impact.
"The mini Budget announced by Labour today outlines its plans to lift 88,000 children out of poverty – but by 2021.
"So, comparing apples with apples, during the same period National would have lifted about 100,000 children out of poverty, whereas Labour only plans to lift 88,000.
"Labour has reverted to type by throwing billions of dollars at poorly targeted hand-outs, including over $3000 baby bonuses that go to everyone, irrespective of whether they need it or not.
"During our term in Government, the number of kids in material hardship fell by nearly 40 per cent to 135,000 in 2016.
"Thanks to the hard work, motivation and brave decisions of thousands of Kiwi parents, there are now 60,000 fewer children growing up in benefit-dependent households.
"Statistics like that can't just be made up. We were the first Government in 40 years to lift benefits and the results are beginning to show.
"This is yet another example of a big-spending Labour Government that just cannot execute its ambitions," Mrs Bennett says.
PM dodges questions about KidsCan funding
The Prime Minister has left more questions unanswered than not, following revelations her Government is cutting funding to children's charity KidsCan, National's Spokesperson for Children Paula Bennett says.
"KidsCan has been told it will lose its $350,000 government funding from 1 July next year.
"They were told there would be no more funding and that they were not a priority. As soon as this news was made public, both the Minister and the Prime Minister have been scrambling to distance themselves from it.
"In Parliament today I asked Jacinda Ardern whether her Government would continue its $350,000 funding of KidsCan but she wouldn't answer.
"Given the huge amount of food, clothing and hygiene products KidsCan have provided hundreds of thousands of Kiwi kids, I think they deserve some clarity.
"The Prime Minister's ducking and diving around simple commitments like this begs the question; is funding to services like this being cut because her Government has over-committed itself to its idealistic 100 day plan?
"I have also heard that the Kickstart breakfast programme is at risk of losing their funding.
"For the Prime Minister to purport that reducing child poverty is a priority, and to then not give certainty to these organisations is appalling. Words and measurements alone won't cut it for our vulnerable children. Prime Minister – please back them up with support for initiatives that work," Mrs Bennett says.
Govt axes funding to important kids charity
The Coalition government needs to front up and explain its decision to cut funding for one of New Zealand's leading children's charities, National's Spokesperson for Children, Paula Bennett says.
"This evening we've learned that the Government will stop funding KidsCan from 1 July next year.
"For over a decade KidsCan has helped children who are living in hardship. It has provided over 168,000 children across 700 – mostly low decile - schools with over 21 million basic food items, over 500,000 health and hygiene products and over 700,000 items of clothing.
"They are making a real difference to the lives of vulnerable children. In the same week the new Government is talking about passing legislation to monitor child poverty, it is undermining the future of one of New Zealand's most effective children's charities.
"The Prime Minister has waxed lyrical for quite some time about her desire to eradicate child poverty and yet, after less than two months in Government, she's axing a programme specifically targeting the very kids who need the most help.
"This is another example of Labour's ideological stance against partnership models. KidsCan is a shining example of how corporate and public funds combined can achieve great outcomes.
"I implore the Government to rethink this terrible decision," Mrs Bennett says.
Confirmation National's changes halt child poverty
Confirmation from the Children's Commissioner that the growth in child poverty has been halted is largely due to initiatives introduced by National, the Party's spokesperson for Children Paula Bennett says.
"Judge Andrew Becroft has today confirmed that since the National Government increased benefits in 2015, there has been a drop in the number of children living in low income households.
"This is great news and further consolidates National's track record as a party that shows it cares, rather than just says it cares.
"We were the Government that increased benefits for the first time in 40 years. Since 2010 we reduced the number of children living in material hardship by 135,000 and since 2011 we reduced the number of children in benefit-dependent households by 61,000.
"Child poverty is a serious issue that we remain committed to working hard on. It needs to be recognised though that the complex issues that are the causes of hardship are often intergenerational.
"That's why it's extremely concerning that Jacinda Ardern and her Government haven't committed to retaining either the Social Investment approach, or the Better Public Services targets we implemented.
"Our drive has been – and will always be – to root out the source of the problem through sophisticated data-driven risk analysis, followed up with solutions that work for the individual on a case-by-case basis.
"Judge Becroft points out that for children to flourish and thrive, sustained progress is needed.
"It is, therefore, both surprising and extremely disappointing that the new Government intends to abolish our Family Incomes Package. This would have lifted around 50, 000 children out of poverty, by one OECD definition.
"These are real solutions for real hardship. Labour has made big proclamations about putting child poverty reduction targets into legislation, but they've baulked at putting a number to those targets.
"National left the new Government a great opportunity to further reduce child poverty with strong job growth, budget surpluses and our Social Investment toolkit to root out the causes of hardship.
"As an Opposition party, we will hold the Government to account and ensure it steps up and delivers more than just slogans," Mrs Bennett says.

While shopping at Sobey's tonight, I scanned the shelves for non dairy items. I have been wanting to try oat milk a long while now. I tried making some the other week, but I did not enjoy it. This time I'm trying this kind to see where to go with making my own. I'm going to give it a go making coconut yogurt. There is a starter culture I need to pick up tomorrow at a health food store, in glass! I picked up some non dairy cheese and butter. Be nice to make my own. I chose that bag of tortilla style chips, hoping it was paper packaging, but sadly it is lined with plastic. I also am trying the frozen dessert treat, which comes wrapped in paper!
So yeah, I'm looking at cutting out animal products and moving to a plant based diet. This will take time and small changes. I will be looking at making my own products where I can, I dont want to add more packaging to be honest. Switching has been on my mind for quite a while, probably about year now.
I need to focus on as much local as I can. One of my rules is supporting local and keep the carbon footprint as low as possible. I have already made steps towards this new journey. I stopped eating sea food/fish. I stopped drinking milk, except for cereal and baking/cooking needs.
So this is where I am at, I think Chris is a little on board, its definitely on his mind! Little steps and small changes. No need to dive in as it may be overwhelming and discouraging.

You are here: Home > Destinations > Morocco > Imperial Cities
About Imperial Cities
Rediscover the World offers a great selection of hotels, riads and excursions in the north of Morocco. The ancient and historic capitals of Morocco feature very strongly in this region - Fez, Meknes & Rabat plus, of course, Marrakech a little further south. Casablanca is included here because of its importance as a city in modern Morocco.
Fez is large and bustling but not as busy a tourist destination as Marrakech, Meknes is more relaxed but still bursting with history and both are ideal bases for the Atlas Mountains and the impressive ruins and mosaics at the Roman site of Volubilis. Rabat is one of our favourite cities in Morocco as it has the stately monuments and palaces of the capital plus a great relaxed atmosphere. Casablanca, although it has little of the charm or history of the other cities, is a very convenient stopover for first and last nights in Morocco and we highly recommend a visit to the very impressive Hassan II Mosque and maybe even Rick's Cafe.
Where to visit
Not strictly an Imperial City but we've included it as it is an important gateway to Morocco. Casablanca is a thriving business centre, there is an old medina & the Hassan II Mosque is simply incr ...
Fez offers a different atmosphere and topography to Marrakech and is an ideal city to visit and to use as a base when touring the sights and places of interest in Northern Morocco.
Marrakech nestles on a large plain at the foot of the snow-capped High Atlas Mountains; it is the perfect introduction to Morocco or an ideal base for exploring the mountains, Sahara & Atlantic co ...
Meknes became capital in the 17th century thanks to Sultan Moulay Ismail (known as the Louis XIV of Morocco). Its grandiose and extravagant monuments are often compared with those in Versailles.
"Thank you for organizing a lovely, relaxing, awe-inspiring holiday, with special attention to detail. We are planning to use your service on our next trip."
S Mullen, December 2019
"My wife and I made a journey through Morocco during February. We decided that using trains and staying at riads would form a central part of our journey theme and are awfully glad we did. Our main advice and booking was aided by Andy and Dawn, Rediscover the World UK. We had a number of requests for guidance, all of which were met with patient, knowledgeable and practical responses. One city only offered very expensive options for a guide and we were left in no doubt that it was expensive and alternative solutions found. This is the mark of a good agent/adviser. One city had considerable restrictions on available accomodation owing to a music festival and still they managed to find something suitable. There was a lot of work involved in solving this, which we appreciate."

Long story short, when I try to transfer the player to a new map, this error pops up.
I suspect it has to do with Victors Movement Script as when I remove that script it gives me a different error, so I suspect it's either his Core Script, Pixel Movement Script or his Diagonal Movement Script.
Any help is appreciated!
