Remarks by Mrs. Laura Bush at the "Spirit of Liberty: At Home, In The World"
Thank you, Ken.
Good morning, and welcome to today's "The Spirit of Liberty."
In 1944, a federal judge and judicial philosopher Judge Learned Hand delivered a speech in Central Park to over a million people on "I Am an American Day." His remarks spoke directly to the 150,000 people in the audience who had just been sworn in as naturalized U.S. citizens.
He said, "We have gathered here to affirm a faith, a faith in a common purpose, a common conviction, a common devotion. Some of us have chosen America as the land of our adoption; the rest have come from those who did the same. What was the object that nerved us, or those who went before us, to this choice? We sought liberty - freedom from oppression, freedom from want, freedom to be ourselves."
Behind me, just across Columbus Circle, is Central Park. Seventy-three years later, we are here to affirm that common faith that Learned Hand proclaimed.
Today, we'll begin a conversation about how to strengthen our democracy at home, and help foster a new consensus that spreads freedom abroad.
Over the past century, the world has witnessed the transformative power of freedom around the world. In 1900, there were no true democracies. My mother was born before women achieved the right to vote, and only until the Voting Rights act of 1965 were restrictions on voting by African Americans finally lifted. Conditions began to change in what have been described as waves of transformation.
By the end of the 20th century, from Western Europe to Latin America to Asia and Africa, societies that had been ruled by military governments or dictators were choosing democracy. And communism collapsed almost completely.
Millions of people around the world no longer think of themselves as subjects but rather as citizens with rights. And that is a major accomplishment. This progress is a testament to the human spirit, to the sacrifices made by brave men and women who fight for freedom, and to those courageous individuals who continue this fight for freedom today.
George and I believe that freedom is the universal desire for all people. During our time in the White House, and now at the Bush Institute, George and I have met with dozens of dissidents and democracy advocates from every part of the world.
Despite their differences of history, culture, language, or religion, one thing is constant: a fundamental belief in the dignity of all human beings and their right to be free. These conversations have reminded me of the fragility of freedom, particularly in places where it is newly won.
Last year, Freedom House noted the 11th year of decline of freedom around the world. This is due to the use of more forceful tactics by authoritarian regimes and to a rise in global terrorism. We've seen populist and nationalist forces gain strength in democratic states. Even in the United States, which remains a beacon of freedom to others, Freedom House has raised concerns about signs of "erosion" that need attention.
Research shows that less than one-third of American students in grades four, eight, and twelve are "proficient" in civics – the knowledge of the American Constitutional system and the role of government and civil society in the lives of free people.
This trend is even more concerning when you consider that more than 1/3 of respondents in a recent Annenberg study could not name a single right protected by the First Amendment.
More than 30% of people surveyed couldn't name a single branch of government.
We must prepare our children and grandchildren with the tools they need to be informed, engaged citizens who care about individual liberty and democracy.
We must teach them history. We must insist they understand the government they are blessed to live under. We must teach our children how to listen, to show empathy, to show civility in the face of disagreement, and to overcome malice and hate. And, we must model the behavior ourselves.
This is the task of parents, teachers, and anyone who touches the lives of young people today. And, it's our patriotic duty as Americans.
This situation didn't develop overnight; we've been neglecting to tell our nation's story for years. It will take time and effort to repair.
Two years ago, the Bush Institute released Freedom Matters!, a supplemental curriculum for high schoolers. Our goal with Freedom Matters! is simple: to foster the next generation of Americans—perhaps even a future President of the United States—to care about democracy and individual liberty at home and abroad.
Freedom Matters! is available online for anyone to download, free of charge.
The 16 lessons in Freedom Matters! combine the personal stories of dissidents and democracy advocates featured in the Bush Institute's Freedom Collection with broader, universal concepts of freedom, rule of law, limited representative government, and the protection of basic human rights.
This is just one of the ways the Bush Institute is committed to developing a consensus about the value of freedom. We are grateful to work with partners on a new initiative. I'm thrilled to announce that, in collaboration with Freedom House and the Penn Biden Center for Diplomacy and Global Engagement, we are launching a major public opinion research study – a poll - that will help us learn how Americans feel about their democracy and what American's believe their role is in spreading liberty abroad. The results of the poll will serve as a resource for others who share our commitment to democracy and freedom.
Grace Jo is a fine example of someone who is committed to spreading liberty worldwide. Grace came to the United States as a refugee from North Korea and she knows what life is like when freedom is absent.
As an inaugural recipient of the Bush Institute's North Korea Freedom Scholarship, Grace wants to help other North Koreans trapped behind Pyongyang's iron curtain. George and I are honored that she's here today to share her story.
Please join me in welcoming Grace Jo.
Thank you.

2 x 20 Deck Squats

3 x 30 @ 20kg Box Jumps
3 x 20ES @ 43Kg OSBB Step up to Lunge
3 x 20 @ 43Kg OSBB Kneeling Squat
1 x 8 Tabata Jumping Squats (13)
I smashed through the box jumps until I smashed my toes into the box in the last set, despite the blood my primary concern was it let Jeff get a couple of reps ahead. It was the first time I'd stayed on par with his pace for box jumps, normally he's 10% faster. I did have to modify the technique to achieve the pace though, landing down into a squat and jumping back up in one motion. It really jacked the HR, but it was fun to be at the same tempo.
I had a quick chat to Jeff about racing 24hrs solo, his advice was to do a max of 2 a year and to split them by as many months as possible. This might mean I need to look at racing the Solo Nationals around Easter, then another late in the year.

Fans Will Not Be Happy About This Male R&B Singer Calling Out Beyoncé, SZA And Cardi B
"Stop using that f**king pain to make it OK to say some bullsh** on your record and get nominated for a Grammy..."
Hollywood rallied together when former Cosby star Geoffrey Owens was photographed by a woman named Karma Lawrence while working at Trader Joe's in Clifton, NJ. Actors and actresses from all walks of life defended him because many don't see the downside to the entertainment industry. Some go years in between consistent jobs, so to try and downplay someone you don't know is disgusting.
So Nicki Minaj took it upon herself to address the situation on the latest episode of Queen Radio. She awarded Lawrence and her wife with the "C***sucker of the Day" award. "Duality, as they say."
The Queen femcee wasn't done firing rounds. She continued with, "What is the fascination with our culture to continually humiliate people for no f***king reason?! What the f**k did you get my taking a picture of that man at the grocery store?!"
Refusing to back down, she mentioned that she just wanted to find karma for "a talk," because honestly, what was the point? Minaj said she was giving Owens a small token of appreciation and would further divulge details on Queen Radio.

Isaiah 43:19 – I am about to do a new thing; now it springs forth, do you not perceive it? I will make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert.
"This is my son, the beloved…" Whenever I read words from God, my voice drops to my lower register, and I speak very clearly and with force. Unfortunately for most of us, God's voice is more nuanced, and perceiving God's will might not be so easy by us.
Creator God, grant us the wisdom to hear both your voice and its' meaning in our lives. Amen.

A Little Bit Country
an excerpt
Chapter One
"Goddamn it!" Drawing his arm back, Ash snapped it forward, whipping the entertainment magazine across his dressing room. It hit the opposite wall, landing in a heap of crumpled pages on the floor.
"What critic pissed you off now?" Jeremy asked, not bothering to look up from tuning his Fender Telecaster guitar.
Ash turned on him. "It wasn't a critic! I can handle those assholes. It was freakin' Jackson Abrams again."
Laughter came from behind Ash. "After three years of bitching at each other in the media, you should be even more used to him than the critics."
Ash shot a glare over his shoulder at his drummer, Devin. "He gives me more shit than the damn critics!" He lifted a hand, ticking off his statements on his fingers as he continued. "How I dress, the things I do, my hair—"
"You kind of deserve it with your hair, sometimes." Devin's dark brown gaze lifted to Ash's yellow Mohawk with streaks of red racing through it. "Or, most of the time."
Ash rolled his eyes and pointed at the Mohawk. "I'll give you that this didn't turn out the way I wanted it to, but I rock a lot of cool hairstyles." He looked to his bass player. "You got my back on this one right, Chad?"
The bass player shook his head. "Dude, I don't think I can. Since you change your hair every time the wind blows, you're gonna have a good style or two by default, but I wouldn't call that a lot."
Ash disregarded both Chad and Devin with a flip of his hand. "Whatever. As if you guys know anything about style."
His voice teasing, Devin said, "Maybe we don't, but it sounds like Jackson does."
Ash's annoyance burst to life again. "I sure as fuck won't take fashion advice from a guy who wears shit-kicker cowboy boots and Wranglers. And who the hell is he to criticize my hair when he hides his under that big ass cowboy hat all the time?"
Jeremy rubbed a cloth over his guitar, polishing the body of it so the black finish, painted with gray ghost flames, had a liquid shine. "Is that what he was doing in the mag interview? Ripping on your hair again?"
Ash snatched a bottle of water off a table and dropped down on the couch beside Jeremy. "No. He was saying how I'm not a good role model for young people. Well no shit. What part of rock star doesn't he get? I'm a performer, not a babysitter."
Chad walked across the room and picked up the magazine. "That was probably his response to you saying last month that when his music career falls flat, he can always sell himself to the highest bidding mother to marry her daughter since everyone in Mayberry wants him for a son-in-law."
Twirling a drumstick between his fingers, Devin snorted out a laugh. "Now that was funny."
Ash tossed an arm across the back of the couch. "I don't know why the hell he has to keep coming at me. And through the goddamn media! If he's got things to say, he needs to do it to my face."
Jeremy plucked the guitar strings to double check the tuning. "It's not like he'd get many chances to do that. You're a rock star. He's a country music star. We kinda run in separate circles, you know."
"We've been to some of the same award shows," Ash said.
"So what, you want him to start a pissing match with you on the red carpet? The most bad boy he'll ever taint his image with is what he does now, taunting you from a distance, and even that isn't much since he always manages to spin it so he looks good and you look like the ass."
Devin jumped back into the conversation. "Not that he has to spin it real hard with how you let shit fly out of your mouth. But weren't you the one who started this whole thing to begin with?"
Ash let out a low grumble of agreement. It was true, he was the one who started the "feud" with Jackson Abrams. Not intentionally. Sort of. Three years ago, they both hit the scene in their respect music genres. He and his band, From Ashes, kicking ass in the rock world, and Jackson...well, Jackson doing whatever the hell country stars did. Jackson must've done it pretty well, though, since his music extended beyond the country charts to crossover into popular music.
When the Grammy Awards came around, From Ashes and Jackson were both up for Best New Artist. And the Grammy went to...Jackson.
Not that he was really pissed off at losing the award to him. Even he had to admit Jackson's music was damn good. He wasn't so stubborn he couldn't appreciate Jackson's talent, and there was something else about the country singer....
Ash stopped the last thought before it went too far and veered it back toward music. Still, even though he could admit Jackson was a hell of a musician, he couldn't say Jackson was better than him and his boys. When he was interviewed after the Grammys about his band's loss to Jackson and asked how he felt about it, he replied, "Well, it is what it is. And it could be the better man won, but not the better musician."
It seemed Mr. Good Boy Country Star didn't like that comment real well and fired back in an interview with, "Sounds like Ash Ivers...that's his name, right? Well, it sounds like he's a bit of a sore loser. And that's too bad. I hope someday he learns how a man accepts his losses is what can really make him a winner."
And it was that kind of down-home-wholesome bullshit that pissed him off. Jackson always came back at him with comments like that. When he heard Jackson's remark, he hit him back in his next interview with, "I don't know how to accept my losses, huh? Let's get something straight. Not getting an award for being America's sweetheart doesn't make me a loser. But what makes me a winner is my record sales kicking his in the ass all the way to the bank."
Jackson retorted with, "If I could ever have the honor to be America's sweetheart, nothing would make me prouder because I love this country. But it sounds like Ash Ivers loves money, and I feel sorry for him for that. I make my music for my fans, not for a bigger bank account."
Always! Every freakin' time Jackson twisted his words to make himself look like the good guy. The man even wore a white damn cowboy hat! Well, beige, but close enough.
The media ate up their animosity, doing their best to fuel their feud with interviewers making sure each of them knew the latest comment from the other and goading them to make more. He supposed it was good publicity, if nothing else. There were fans on Jackson's side who loved him for his always gentlemanly responses. There were fans on his side who loved his "shove it" attitude.
Ash grinned to himself. Actually, they made a pretty good team without even knowing it. They each had both sides covered of what people liked. Chad's voice called him back to the moment.
"Hey, Ash. Did you read the rest of this interview with him?"
"Why the hell would I?"
Chad walked slowly toward him, his gaze on the open magazine in his hands. "Because right after he says you're not a good role model, he says, 'I'm not sure the behavior Ash is known for is the best kind of image for the Songs for a Cure Benefit, but I do give him a lot of credit doing this for charity. It gives me hope knowing that as different as me and him are, we can put all that aside for a greater good in helping to raise awareness and funds for HIV/AIDS research. Because of that, it'll be an honor for me to walk on the same stage as him.'"
Silence fell over the dressing room. Ash stared at his bass player, as if he disbelieved what Chad had said.
Jeremy looked toward Ash. "Wow. That was, like...nice."
Ash ignored Jeremy, his gaze still fixed on Chad. "Are you fucking with me?"
"No, dude. It looks like he's playing Songs for a Cure, too."
Devin pointed his drumstick at Ash. "You didn't know that? Didn't any of you guys read the list of performers Kent gave us a couple of weeks ago?"
Ash shook his head, still trying to come to terms with playing at the charity concert with Jackson. He vaguely remembered their manager, Kent, giving him the list of everyone who would be performing, but he'd only looked to see when From Ashes was taking the stage. Since they were right after the openers, he didn't bother checking to see who else would be there. He didn't even know where the list was now. Probably in some stadium, cities away since they were wrapping up their second tour and it was supposed to end at the Songs for a Cure event in two weeks.

Comprising ancient texts and fables, stories within stories, and a young man's desperate search for his father's legacy, this beguiling tale, by the bestselling author of Balzac and the Little Chinese Seamstress, has the enigmatic mystery of Eco's The Name of the Rose, with the tenderness of the film, Lost in Translation.
A young French woman in Peking in the late 1970s interprets between Chinese professors and Bertolucci for his film The Last Emperor. Afterwards, she follows a disgruntled old professor who tells her about a text believed to be taken directly from Buddha's teachings and inscribed on silk cloth centuries ago. It was written in a now-dead language called Tumchooq (coincidentally, the name of a young Chinese man she has just met), so beautiful in its simplicity it is almost impossible to render accurately in translation. Puyi, the last emperor and last owner of this relic, allegedly tore the silk in two with his teeth while being flown to Manchuria by the Japanese, and threw the fragments from the plane. Only half of the mutilated manuscript was recovered, and the reader, like the narrator, must wait till the end of the novel to discover the rest. When the complete text is finally pieced together, its message is devastatingly simple, and all the more poignant because it has taken such sacrifice and effort to decipher.
"Dai Sijie is a wonderful storyteller. There are not many storytellers writing at present in the French language, which makes his speed and intricacy and drama appear more surprising ... so well done, in such a swift and uncompromising way, that the reader and author and characters feel the simple astonishment of having survived ... the end of the tale is beautifully conclusive and satisfactory"
A. S. Byatt, Guardian
"Evokes the past with all the eerie clarity of a dream, its outlines blurred but every tiny, telling detail extraordinarily alive. Anyone in search of a brief history of China would do well to begin right here"
Margaret Hillenbrand, Financial Times
"A rich and poetic novel"
The Big Issue
"It exercises a subtle and persuasive charm... Its evocation of the distant world of devoted Chinese scholarship and dying artistry is lovingly and enchantingly done"
Alan Massie, Scotsman
"An elegant, polished, scholarly piece"
Kate Saunders, The Times
"Sijie has produced another cunning literary confection, blending history, romance, a long-lost manuscript and the magic of the Orient... Sijie can still draw readers into his elegant web"
Mail on Sunday
"This shy, complex novel, which speaks its concerns so quietly, remains a forceful lament, infused with incident and dramatic storytelling. Language solves nothing, neither French, Chinese, Tibetan or Tumchooq. Language cannot the explain lives we lead, or the arbitrariness of our destinies. It can only tell us to trust, as a lost scroll in a lost language eventually does, that the ground is there beneath our feet."
Julian Evans, The Daily Telegraph
"Dignified and scholarly."
Claire Anderson Wheeler, The Irish Times

Discharge to Assess PDF 208 KB
Joint Report of the Director of Health and Care and the Accountable Officer, Staffordshire and Stoke on Trent CCG's.
Additional documents:
The Committee considered a joint report of the Director of Health and Care and the Accountable Officer, Staffordshire Clinical Commissioning Groups (CCGs).
The Director of Health and Care, Mr R Harling and the Senior Commissioning Manager for Staffordshire CCGs, Ms Gemma Smith attended the meeting to present the report and answer questions.
The Director of Health and Care summarised the report and informed the Committee that there had been both a national and local move to get people out of hospital and cared for in their own homes or in their local communities. There was national best practise on how this could be achieved and 'Discharge to Assess' was one of the models of care suggested. It was explained that the model required the following services and functions:
· A 'Track and Triage' service to accept complex referrals from the wards, determine whether they need ongoing reablement and support, determine the most appropriate setting [home or bed], and make the necessary arrangements to put interim care in place.
· Home First services to providereablement and support at home. These include intermediate care, palliative care,night sitting and reablement.
· Community beds for people who are unable to return home for interim care. These require a Trusted Assessor function to enable timely transfers, as well as GP and rehabilitation cover to ensure active therapy and avoid deconditioning.
· Active management of Home First services and community beds to ensure that people move on.
The Discharge to Assess model had been working in the North of the County for approximately 12 months and had seen reductions of delayed discharges of 50 %. This model of care now needed to be rolled out to the rest of the County. Critical to the rolling out was the development of the track and triage service and the CCG's have to commission an additional 4200 hours per week of reablement Home First services.
Discharge to Assess to support Queens and Good Hope hospitals remained under development and there were ongoing issues with Delayed Transfers of Care (DTOC). The position was however, was getting better and it was hoped that the following developments would see significant improvement:
· Home First,
· commissioned hours increasing
· an agreement of funding and,
· the development of standard opening procedures for transfer of people from Queens and Good Hope into Community beds at Robert Peel and Samuel Johnson hospitals.
Discharge to Assess to support County Hospital was close to maturity. Support for Walsall Manor, New Cross and Russell's Hall hospitals remained under development. Improvements to date include the County Council commissioning an additional 732 hours reablement Home First services per week, and New Cross hospital using non-recurrent funding form the Better Care Fund (BCF). There had also been a modernisation of the Track and Triage service to manage Community beds in care homes in the South of the County.
The Director of Health and Care informed the Committee that there was still a delay in getting people home from New Cross and Cannock Hospital. The ... view the full minutes text for item 56.
University Hospitals of Derby and Burton - update PDF 290 KB
Report of the Executive Chief Nurse and Director of Governance and Communications
Tosca Fairchild-Moyo, Director of Governance and Communications and Mike Carr, Divisional Manager of University Hospitals of Derby and Burton (UHDB) gave a presentation to the Committee on the recent merger of the two hospitals and the progress being made towards integrating services to benefit patients. The presentation also covered information on the Cancer performance targets which the Committee had requested at the Accountability session in July 2018.
The presentation covered:
· The story so far – the 'Big Conversation'; investing in maternity services; Joint Advisory Group (JAG) accreditation; and increased capacity over winter.
· The Merger principles – Sustaining clinical services at Queens Hospital Burton: Developing tertiary (specialist) services at Royal Derby; and Making the best use of community hospitals in Lichfield, Tamworth and Derby.
· Six clinical deep dives – Cardiology, Trauma and Outpatients, Stroke, Renal, Urology (Cancer) and Radiology.
· Next stages – A further six deep dives into Ophthalmology, Dermatology, Gynaecology, Vascular Surgery, Critical Care and Head and neck.
· The development on the Outwood's site (Queens Hospital) and the capital funding of £21.88m received from the Department of Health and Social Care.
· Cancer performance – the 62 day cancer referral standard remained a challenging target.
Following the presentation, a Member asked how much choice a GP had when referring patients to hospitals and speed at which information was transferred between Community Hospitals and Acute hospitals. In response Members were informed that a new digital website was being developed and one aspect of this incorporated more choice for GP's and patients. It was acknowledged that integrated communication between the community and acute hospitals was a particular issue and was a valid concern which officers would take back to the trust.
A Member felt that transport between Burton and Derby Hospitals was problematic for some patients. A bus service between both sites was in place and car parking was increasing with an additional 517 parking spaces on the Derby site provided for staff with further car parking development planned for the Burton site which would facilitate additional spaces for patients.
A question was asked on the cancer service and screening for cancers such as prostate cancer and how this was a challenge to get people to take up screening. Imaginative ways were already happening led by Miss Shah – Consultant Urologist and this had been covered nationally in the press such as attending football matches to carry out screening.
A Member asked how the hospitals were managing their financial deficit, and how they were managing recruitment and retention of staff. In response, it was agreed that the deficit was very challenging, and services were being reviewed all the time to ensure that services were operating as efficiently as possible. The STPs for both Derbyshire and Staffordshire were also working together to drive efficiency. With regard to recruitment/retention and budget pressures, it was explained that during the merger, there had been no redundancies with all staff finding a position in the new organisation and the Hospitals were continually recruiting into all posts.

District and Borough Health Scrutiny Activity PDF 214 KB
Report of the Scrutiny and Support Manager
The Scrutiny and Support Manager presented the report which outlined the activity the Borough and District Councils since the last meeting.
It was reported the at the last meeting of the Cannock Chase District Councils Health Committee they had received presentations on Healthy lifestyles and Public Health. Clarity was requested on the duties of both the District/Boroughs and the County Council when carrying out Health Scrutiny. It was explained if an item concerned one Borough/District alone, then that local authority was able to look at it. If an issue had a wider detrimental effect, then the County Council would consider it.
The Committee were informed that at Lichfield District Councils last meeting, the items of business were Rough Sleepers and the prevention and support offered to them.
The South Staffordshire District Council Member explained that their Committee had received presentations from the South Staffordshire CCG and the Well Being Clinic.
The Stafford Borough Council representative added to the information in the report by informing the Committee that during a recent Planning Development application for approximately 1,500 new homes, the CCG had failed to respond on health implications or considerations.
The Committee acknowledged a Planning Authority could not legally require Health to respond and there was no statutory requirement to consult with Health on planning applications under 500 houses, but it was felt that in order to plan effectively for the populations wellbeing, Health partners should have an input and therefore legislation should be changed to require a response. There was also concern that any planning conditions that are added to permissions can be removed by way of challenge at appeal if they fail to meet the tests set out by the Government in the Planning Practice Guidance Note.
It was felt that Local Authorities need to look at health from a collective viewpoint as development size or number of properties add up and have considerable impact on health. The County Councils infrastructure plan was also in the process of being developed and it was hoped that health was a part of this.
There was also a discussion on whether raising the item at a meeting of the Chief Executives and Leaders Forum could help to ensure that health implications are considered and on whether District and Borough Councillors could add pressure on Planning Committees when applications come before them at a local level.
The representative from Tamworth Borough Council informed the Committee that their last meeting had contained a presentation from the University Hospital of Derby and Burton. The next meeting would be considering Mental Health issues; the First Response Service and GP provision across the Borough.
a) That the Chairman write to the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government explaining that Scrutiny Committees are powerless to scrutinise the wider determinants of health if Health Partners are not a statutory consultee when dealing with planning applications.
b) That the Chairman write to District and Borough Councils to ensure that they are considering Health implications with the same ... view the full minutes text for item 58.

Studying at the library can be fun if you've got the essentials with you! Here are some of the items you shouldn't leave at home! (p.s: don't forget your study materials!)
(source: http://bit.ly/2qmNKhP)
1. Jacket/Hoodie
This is probably the most important item that you should bring if you are planning to study in the library for a few hours. With the unpredictable weather looming in Singapore, you may never know when it is going to get colder.
2. Portable Charger
Better to be safe than sorry! You'll never know how long you might be outside for, and since we always want to remain contactable via our mobile devices, never forget to bring a portable charger.
3. Money
With cafes in the library, it makes studying an enjoyable process. You get to chow down on food, and drink all the coffee/tea you will need to stay focused on your notes. Plus, you'd never know when some cash might come in handy!
4. Headphones
If you are the type who cannot study without music, headphones are a must! You wouldn't want to distract others with music blasting from your devices. Enjoy your music, while still being considerate 🙂
5. Library Card
The library is definitely way more fun when you have a library card. Think of all the books you could borrow, within your membership limits of course. Borrow you favourite reads, or even study materials. You'll never know what you can find at the library!
These are the top five things that should be in your to-bring list. Do you have any other items that you think are necessary too? Let us know

A civic ceremony to mark the 100th anniversary of the death of a courageous First World War nurse will take place in Peterborough next week.
British nurse Edith Cavell, who was at school in the city, was executed at dawn on October 12 1915.
A civic procession in her memory will leave Peterborough Town Hall in Bridge Street for Peterborough Cathedral at 6.45am on Monday 12 October 2015.
A two minute silence will be observed at 7am at the Cathedral and the procession will then head to the Peterborough War Memorial for a service of memorial led by the Mayor of Peterborough, Councillor John Peach, and The Reverend Canon Bruce Ruddock, Canon Precentor at the Cathedral.
There will be a gun salute to commemorate the centenary of her execution.
When the war broke out in 1914, Edith Cavell, who was now fluent in French, went to Brussels to nurse injured soldiers whatever their nationality.
Following the German occupation of Brussels, Edith Cavell, who was back in Britain at the time, headed straight to Brussels to be with her nurses instead of remaining in Britain, risking her life in the face of disposition from the invading army.
The clinic she was in charge of became part of a resistance network of safe houses for hundreds of Allied soldiers before they were smuggled into the Netherlands.
However, in August 1915, this resistance group was betrayed by a German collaborator and Edith Cavell was arrested and tried for treason before being executed. Her execution received worldwide condemnation.
A blanket of hand-crafted poppies created by Peterborough artist Charron Pugsley-Hill will be laid at the war memorial.
The blanket consists of 49 felt poppies made by Peterborough women, each poppy representing a year of Edith Cavell's life.
It also has a centrepiece design of Britain, Belgium and the sea that contains words and symbols associated with her remarkable life.
Gillian Beasley, Chief Executive of Peterborough City Council, who made one of the 49 felt poppies, said: "Edith Cavell was famed for being a woman of strong principles and religious conviction.
"It is important to remember the sacrifice she made to look after countless numbers of people including injured soldiers.
"Edith Cavell has a strong connection with Peterborough, as she attended Laurel Court school in the grounds of Peterborough Cathedral where she learned the fluent French that enabled her to work in Brussels as head of a number of clinics, hospitals and nursing schools."
Representatives from the Royal British Legion will also be attending the ceremony to support the run up to the launch of the 2015 Poppy Appeal.
All are welcome to attend the two minute silence and memorial service.

This morning, I took a quick walk around the yard to look for passionfruit. I thought I'd just post some of my pics. Of course, I had to go visit the bunnies first!
This tree was a very sad tree when we moved in. Josh brought it back from the dead.
I did find some passionfruit and one ripe tomato. I also did not find any escaped chickens!

Artist Statement
My attraction to the energy of urban areas inspires a playful,
excited examination of the frenzied systems around me.
Highly active environments such as ports, stations, airfields,
or sub-street infrastructures feel like childhood experiments
with Tinkertoys and Lego bricks,
or voyages into Richard Scarry's seemingly chaotic worlds.
I've been exploring my awareness of these arrangements
and my position within them, making
associations with anatomy and physicality, and allowing
myself the opportunity to revisit a youthful mindset
that seems more and more fleeting.

In light of the Trump Administration issuing the public charge rule as final, the National Partnership is re-sending its original statement issued last year in which we concluded that this rule would be harmful for families. We continue to stand by that statement. Original statement below:
Statement of Debra L. Ness, President, National Partnership for Women & Families
WASHINGTON, D.C. – "The public charge rule the Trump administration issued today would make our country less healthy, our communities less strong and our families less economically secure. It would create intolerable penalties for using government programs designed to improve health, provide food and nutrition and promote economic stability, and will force families to forego those services.
This rule is heartless and short-sighted. It would make immigrants second-class citizens, continue the Trump administration's appalling anti-immigrant policies and undermine our core values as a nation. It should never be adopted."
You can find this statement online here.

CHICOPEE, Mass- The Elms College women's soccer team shut out visiting Bay Path University, 1-0, in the first round of the New England Collegiate Conference (NECC) Championship at Leary Field Tuesday evening.
The Blazers cracked the scoreboard with 3:25 left to play in the first half when freshman defender Angelina Estrada (Springfield, Mass) knocked down a cross into the box which she touched passed to freshman midfielder Jackie Soucia (Belchertown, Mass) who lofted a shot from over 25 yards out pass the reach of sophomore goalkeeper Alma Rizvani (Prospect, Conn) to put the Blazers up 1-0.
The Blazers outshot the Wildcats 21-4 over the course of the game. Rizvani gathered nine saves, while Blazers junior goalkeeper Alexa Rinaudo (Bellmore, N.Y.) turned away three, including one with under three minutes left to play. Rizvani subbed in as a forward and was rewarded a free kick after a foul from 20 yards out. Rizvani put the ball towards the upper right-hand corner, but Rinaudo punched the ball away and was cleared to safety.
"Getting the win today was huge," said Elms College Head Coach Sean Milbier. "All the games from now on will be tough, Bay Path gave us everything we could handle today. I thought we possessed the ball well, connected from our back to the midfield to our front line,and had a lot of chances. We just couldn't find that second and third goal to put them away. We just need a little bit more composure in the box, sometime we have more time then we think we do, and have to take a second to look up and put a shot on net. We played really well, and I was happy with our energy. We had some jitters in the final five minutes, but the way you eliminate that is by scoring that second goal, put the team away and don't let them hang around. Overall, I was very happy with our performance tonight."
The Blazers moved to 10-8-1 overall while Bay Path fell to 4-13-1. Elms advances to play the third-seed Regis (Mass) in the NECC semifinals on Thursday, November 6th at 6:00pm.

Foreign Direct Investment in China, or FDI, has seen rapid growth for several decades now, a pace that cannot be easily sustained. With developed countries still struggling to rectify their own shaky economic foundations, FDI in China has dropped for a consecutive six months in April 2012, prompting the government to take corrective measures.
FDI suffered a 2.38% drop in the first four months of 2012 to $37.9 Billion from the previous year, whereas outbound direct investment grew an astonishing 72.8% in the same time span to $23.2 Billion. Shen Danyang, spokesman for the Ministry of Commerce in China, blamed a combination of the sluggish global economic conditions and other countries tightening preferential investment policies for this lackluster performance.
The only bright spot is that FDI from the U.S. grew 1.9% to $1.05 Billion, with FDI from Japan rising by a solid 16% to $2.7 Billion, while FDI from the European Union shrank by a whopping 27.9% to $1.9 Billion.
Rising labor costs have also been largely blamed, and factory closures during the Chinese New Year and the Labor Day holiday did not help either.
An early indicator of industrial activity in China, the HSBC Purchasing Managers Index (PMI), dropped to 48.7 in April from May's 49.3, the seventh straight month that the PMI has stayed below 50, a deepening sign of industrial contraction.
In the years that Foreign Direct Investment in China was still strong, the central bank had raised the Reserve Requirement Ratio (RRR), a policy trend that Donna Kwok, an economist from HSBC Greater China, believes was too effective last year. However, the impact of this policy was quickly reduced when the People's Bank of China cut its reserve requirements three times in the past six months.
To counter the vexing problem of rising labor costs, China is now emphasizing quality over quantity, and a revised version of the Foreign Investment Industries Guidance Catalogue, simply referred to as "the Catalogue", was jointly issued on December 24, 2011 by the Ministry of Commerce and China's National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC) to reflect this new policy trend.
Nevertheless, the second largest economy in the world is far from being subdued. As an integral part of the global economy, the fall in FDI is not expected to have a long lasting impact on the Chinese economy.
The former head of the Ministry of Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation, Li Zhongzhou, also points to the tight regulation and control of the real estate market as contributing to a less than stellar FDI, as the real estate segment accounted for a full quarter of FDI within the last two years. Tourism, however, is still expected to be strong.
The Grexit scenario is being closely watched by Chinese authorities, with Peng Wenshen, an economist at investment bank China International Investment Corp., predicting massive stimulus measures to be enacted after a Greece exit from the Euro zone, possibly requiring as much as $98 Billion to protect China's 7.5% growth target.
Foreign direct investment in China may have fallen lately, but Ernst and Young, the big accounting firm, still considers China as the most attractive investment region in the world, eclipsing the U.S. at number three.

Paolino, a longtime Maspeth resident and a veteran of the entertainment industry who created the "Celebrity Face-off" television series, will serve as the event director.
In the last seven years Paolino said he began writing more, meeting other writers and attending book festivals. He even created his own publishing company.
But at the same time, he's seen a lot of local bookstores, and even Barnes and Nobles locations, go out of business.
In particular, Paolino said he has noticed fewer and fewer young people crack open a book or write their own stories. The book festival hopes to change that.
"They're playing more video games and there's more online streaming," he said. "I know this as a fact because I teach college.
"I feel like this is something that's needed," Paolino added about a book festival in the area.
The event will bring together leaders in the publishing industry to Martin Luther School. It will include panel discussions, writing workshops for young adults, and a book purchasing and autographing portion.
Two professionally published writers will be on hand to critique students' writing samples and provide specific advice.
Paolino said most festivals he has attended tend to be niche, but he wants this event to have a "little bit of everything."
The authors on the panels will come from a wide range of backgrounds, including fiction, non-fiction, graphic novels and more.
The goal is that if a student attending the festival is interested in young adult books, they can also bring their mom, dad and grandma and the festival will have something to offer them too.
"I'm really trying to cover the gamut," Paolino said.

Summer clothing very easily translated into colourful cotton dresses that have the perfect flow and ease the pain of (not) putting on trousers. Especially when it comes to work wear (and let me remind you, I live in Dubai where it's at least 40* Celsius), there is nothing more I love than just putting on an easily fitted dress that is soft, comfortable and looks nice.
Since you don't know me too well, and I'd like really like you to, I'm a shopaholic – I can shop in stores and online – you know how everyone has that one friend who is exactly like the lead of Confession of a Shopaholic? I'm literally that friend for all my friends. But, that's a whole other post and coming back to the point, I started researching and well, shopping.
I stumbled upon these incredible Indian brands that do amazing contemporary summer dresses that look good and make you feel good.
This one isn't a massive secret – considering it is a huge chain and has stores all over India and internationally. They are known for their amazing cotton kurtas and contemporary designs. I LOVE their dresses – I've worn them till mummy decided to use them as rag clothes to clean the house. They are on a mid-level price point – but it's the quality that counts, their quality is amazing. Whether it's their cotton or silk – it is worth it.
They do have an online shopping portal which is really awesome, but you will obviously find a wider range in-stores.

I'm not as tiny as it appears, and this little town, Český Krumlov is prettier than it's spoken of.

This one's very close to the heart because it's by my lovely (cousin) sister-in-law, Rashi bhabhi. She's a Fashion Major and has an eye for prints and cuts. She creates custom-made pieces with limited designs – but every design is as eye-catching as the other and makes you want to buy everything! The feel of the entire brand is contemporary, playful and colourful – very in-line with my whole personality (and every mood). She does ship worldwide, but as I mentioned its custom-made, so you will need to send in your exact fittings for the best fit.
I'm seriously obsessed with their page – they produce the quirkiest prints – that are actually hand-block printed themselves. Their dresses are super quirky and fun – and perfect for basically everything. They've recently also started a new no-waste policy where they are taking bits and pieces of all cloth pieces and are creating blankets out of them – all of which are so colourful and sustainable!
They do ship internationally, which is music to my ears – and because not a lot of people around me know about them, it works very well in my favour with everyone asking where I got my dress from!

ANAR #streetstyle ❤Another one to brighten up gloomy rainy days. The Cherry Blossom Pleated Dress is such a cool clash of floral prints. You can't help but feel cheerful in this dress. The skirt has cool pleat details and the neckline has signature JODI loop details. Hand-blocked printed in #thejodiprint #girlsofjodi
Such a cute brand, they have beautiful prints and designs – I wanted to buy every single option that they had because it was perfect for the summer. They've got new dresses coming out all the time and are full of light and dark colours. They are also at mid-level price points – and the clothes definitely look like they are worth it. The only catch is that they do deliveries within India. I'm trying to get a hold of someone coming in to get me a few pieces to try – but until then, I'm at the mercy of Instagram envy and elaborate wishlists.
This was one of the first Indian contemporary brands that I discovered and is a beautiful brand that celebrates Indian art and craft. The pieces are exceptionally beautiful – and luxuriously priced. They create dresses, lehengas, suits and more – each piece more exceptional than the other. I'll definitely be knocking on their website, come a fancy family event.

I knew you wouldn't let me down! Just as it was with the music books, I've been sent so many suggestions of must-watch music documentaries that I've had to compile a separate list. And there's some fantastic stuff here – almost every musical genre you can think of is represented on your list; pretty much something for everyone, whatever your tastes run to.
Again, we'd be here all night if I were to list everyone who contributed to the list (there were a lot of you…). You all know who you are – a big thank you to everybody involved, on and offline! If, after perusing these selections, you still think there's something missing, have a look at my original list of documentaries first. If it's not there, then please feel free to leave a comment or tweet me, and I'll add it to this list.
As before, the list is arranged in alphabetical order by title, followed by the director's name (if known – I have been unable to track down the director details for some of the BBC productions), the year of the film's release, and any other necessary information. Some of these are straight-up documentaries, others are tour or concert-type films with a documentary aspect. One or two have a fictional and/or comedy element – this list does indeed go up to eleven… Most (but not all) of these films are available on DVD or can be downloaded/streamed online, and quite a few of them are also on YouTube.

Watching a Ferry...from a Kayak
Recently I watched Bryan Ferry in concert...but not from inside Humphreys where he played but from the marina adjacent to the venue.....
For many years small boaters have steered their water crafts into prime viewing spots to watch and listen (mostly) to artists during the Summer Concert series. I had attended in a friend's 12' Whaler, but this time I decided to try kayaking over with my friend Chris.
As always, I had a great time, watching and listening to the concert, and connecting with the unique individuals who regularly attend concerts this way.
Suggestions if you decided to try this:
Find a convenient launch site for your kayak....if you have a friend who has a boat in one of the Shelter Island Marinas, launch from there..otherwise you'll have to paddle across from one of the small beaches in Pt Loma.
Bring food and drink to share...everyone hands what they have from boat to kayak and are very generous if you participate, so bring easy-to-carry liquid container and finger food.
Light up! Not just that way.....make sure you have lights on your kayak...I have a head lamp I wear and a bring light attached to a lanyard around me neck as well as strap on mini lights for my paddles.
Make your bathroom break just before you leave...no restrooms on the water and unless you are good at the whole pee-in-a-cup thing, you'll need to take care of those needs before you set out.
Don't forget to cheer loudly...sometimes the artists actually call out the boaters...makes it even more fun!

The new proposed Clean Air Act standards from EPA to cut carbon pollution from new power plants are designed to combat climate change and improve public health. The agency received more than 2.5 million comments on the proposed standards.
EPA also has initiated broad-based outreach and direct engagement with state, tribal and local governments; industry and labor leaders; non-profits and others to establish carbon pollution standards for existing power plants and build on state efforts to move toward a cleaner power sector.
"Climate change is one of the most significant public health challenges of our time," said EPA Administrator Gina McCarthy. "By taking commonsense action to limit carbon pollution from new power plants, we can slow the effects of climate change and fulfill our obligation to ensure a safe and healthy environment for our children."
She said the hope is that the new Clean Air standards http://www2.epa.gov/carbon-pollution-standards will spark the innovation needed to build the next generation of power plants, helping grow a more sustainable clean energy economy.
"Reducing carbon pollution will increase private investment in clean energy and drive job growth," said Nicole Lederer, a co-founder of Environmental Entrepreneurs (E2), a nationwide network of business leaders and investors. "This announcement sends a clear and welcome market signal to businesses, entrepreneurs and investors that will encourage energy technology innovation all across America."
Under the proposal, new, large, natural-gas-fired turbines would need to meet a limit of 1,000 pounds of CO2 per megawatt-hour, while new, small, natural-gas-fired turbines would need to meet a limit of 1,100 pounds of CO2 per megawatt-hour. New coal-fired units would need to meet a limit of 1,100 pounds of CO2 per megawatt-hour, and would have the option to meet a somewhat tighter limit if they choose to average emissions over multiple years, giving those units additional operational flexibility.
EPA expects new power plants to be built with available clean technology to limit carbon pollution, a requirement that is in line with investments in clean energy technologies that already are being made in the power industry. Additionally, these standards provide flexibility by allowing sources to phase in the use of some of these technologies, and they ensure that the power plants of the future use cleaner energy technologies – such as efficient natural gas, advanced coal technology, nuclear power and renewable energy like wind and solar.
"The draft regulations issued by the Environmental Protection Agency regarding emissions from newly-constructed power plants threaten economic growth and America's energy future," said International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers President Edwin D. Hill. "The new rules would in effect stop the construction of new coal-fired power plants in the United States by enforcing emission-reduction goals that just aren't realistic using today's technology for carbon capture and sequestration."
Power plants are the largest concentrated source of emissions in the United States, together accounting for roughly one-third of all domestic greenhouse gas emissions. Currently, nearly a dozen states have already implemented or are implementing their own market-based programs to reduce carbon pollution. In addition, more than 25 states have set energy efficiency targets, and more than 35 have set renewable energy targets.
