No treasure buried here
Curtis Park on top of toxic wasteland
Originally published in the Express on 04.05.10
The proposal to bury 250,000 cubic yards of toxic soil, in an effort to cut costs in the embattled Curtis Park Village project, is a disturbing development in the Petrovich Development Company's plan to convert the old Union Pacific railyard into the mixed-use community composed of residential and commercial properties that has been under debate for more than five years. Ranked as the largest property development company in the Sacramento region the past two years, Petrovich has developed 30 projects totaling 4 million square feet in 11 years.
A festering cesspool of toxic matter has plagued the site of the former Union Pacific railyard behind City College for decades. Activities conducted at the Union Pacific railroad maintenance facility included sandblasting, painting, machining, welding, dismantling and reassembly of trains and rail cars — activities that left toxic materials in the soil.
Citing a changing market and increased cleanup costs, Petrovich proposes to bury the soil, an amount so large it will need a 7-acre hole 20 feet deep to contain it. According to the Department of Toxic Substances Control, the toxics in the chasm will be topped with a plastic geomembrane material used for capping buried toxic materials, then covered with 2 feet of clean soil.
Considering the neighboring community of Curtis Park —with some homes over 100 years old — the proposed decision to cover toxic soil, under a park no less, with a cap that has an estimated shelf life of 30 years is not only an irresponsible direction for the land, but it begs the question: Has careful and thoughtful study been completed to determine the safety of such a measure?
Geomembranes are typically designed not to be load bearing, according to a 1997 study conducted by the Environmental Protection Agency. However, Petrovich proposes to bury the remaining contaminated soil under the community's planned 7-acre park.
Loads applied to geomembranes may have large effects on the properties of the liner, according to that same EPA report. The effect of recurring loads, like the construction of a playground, can adversely affect the integrity of the liner material, which could potentially expose people to health risks.
Unknown are the potential risks to those who would play, live or work near the park should this plastic membrane fail. With the health and well-being of the community at stake, the primary contaminant being lead, which interferes with the development of the nervous system and is especially toxic to children, causing potentially permanent learning and behavior disorders, this is unacceptable.
Contamination in the soil consists primarily of lead, arsenic, and polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons, and cleanup activities have been ongoing since August 2003. According to the DTSC, the cleanups are slated to continue through 2010.
If Petrovich's plan is approved by the city, those who live and work in the Curtis Park Village development should be able to have confidence that their community is free from environmental toxins. The EPA indicated additional analysis of the reliability of these type of liners use needed to be conducted, it would be wise for Petrovich to conduct an investigation of his own — whatever the cost.
Power, corruption and lies: the myth of ethical politics
November 23, 2009

The exploration of ethics in politics is one that has occurred for just about as long as man has contemplated his very existence. From Plato's exploration of ethics and justice in "Republic" several millennia ago, to today's current political climate in which a call for political campaign reform is gaining ground, mankind continues to grapple with this idea of ethics in politics. With political scandals and individual corruption in both local and national government agencies, there is little evidence to suggest or support that there is such a thing as ethical politics.
One need only read newspapers, blogs and other media to see the evidence of the perversion of Plato's political ideal in both the national and local sphere of government. From California Rep. Randall "Duke" Cunningham's 2005 federal conviction for accepting at least $2.5 million in bribes, mail fraud, wire fraud and tax evasion, to the 2007 investigation of what the Los Angeles Times called Karl Rove's "improper political influence over government decision-making," it appears that as long as politicians go unchecked by the public and the media, so will corruption.
According to a 2006 Gallup Poll, 50 percent of Americans consider most members of Congress to be corrupt. The most pervasive reason for this staggering negative opinion is due to the ethical implications of campaign finance, the idea that "the money changing hands gives special interest groups undue influence in the halls of government."
Money and politics don't mix and when elected officials knowingly take contributions from groups who expect, and more often than not receive, some kind of political favor in return, it goes against the ideals of government by the people for the people.
While many abhor the current state of politics in this country, many Americans seem resigned to the fact that this problem persists. According to an October 2000 Gallup Poll, only 28 percent of Americans were optimistic that our elected officials could succeed in reducing the power of special interests in the nation's capital.
It's difficult to find anyone who believes that the government behaves in an ethical and honest manner. In "Republic," Plato argues that philosophers should be our rulers as they know what is good and they do not want to rule.
According to the Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy, Plato believed that the "problem with existing cities is correspondingly twofold. They are ruled by people who are ignorant of what is good, and they suffer from strife among citizens all of whom want to rule."
Any philosophers out there who want to run for political office? I'm willing to give them a shot at it since many of those who are currently in power have yet to prove they are truly working for the constituents who elected them and not the special interest groups looking to affect policy for their own financial gain.
Race for governor begins to take shape
November 9, 2009
by Lovelle Harris | Staff Writer
Originally published in the Express on 11.09.09
Of the many contenders vying for the chance to be California's next governor, Attorney General Jerry Brown and former eBay CEO Meg Whitman appear to be the early front runners in the race leading up to the June 2010 primaries.
According to the latest Field Poll released Oct. 8, Brown had a sizable lead over his then Democratic challenger, San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom, as well as all three of the lesser-known Republican candidates, which include Whitman, former representative Tom Campbell and Steve Poizner, the state's current insurance commissioner. Newsom, who garnered the support of former President Bill Clinton, dropped out of the race Oct. 30.
Facing a chronic budget problem, Brown seems best equipped to lead the state out of its woeful financial straits. During his first stint as governor from 1975-83, California produced 25 percent of the nation's new jobs, reduced taxes and built a significant state surplus according to his Web site. During his tenure as Oakland mayor, his programs and policies, like the 10K Downtown Housing Program, which created urban housing for 10,000 Oakland residents, successfully reversed years of social neglect.
While the battle for the GOP nomination has been waging for months, according to the Field Poll, about half of Republicans have yet to make a decision as to which of the three candidates they will support in the 2010 election. For those who have made a decision, that same poll gives a slight edge to Whitman with 22 percent of the vote, compared to 20 percent for Campbell and 9 percent for Poizner.
This indecisiveness on the part of the GOP could have serious repercussions when the primary elections roll around since, at this point, the polls suggest that all three Republican candidates would lose to Brown.
Whitman's campaign hinges on the slogan "A New California" and a plan that boasts a three-pronged approach to solve the state's budget crisis; create new jobs in the private sector, cut government spending by at least $15 billion and fix education by expanding charter schools and giving parents, principals and teachers more control over school policies, programs and curriculum.
While Whitman's plan appears to have substance it is her voting record that is severely lacking in material. Because the eBay billionaire has rarely voted in the past — it's not clear whether she has ever even bothered to registered to vote — her gubernatorial bid could be in serious jeopardy.
With Brown's experience and Whitman's conservative platform, both appear poised to convince their respective constituents that they can the take the state out of fiscal disarray and into financial harmony.
With Brown leading Whitman, Campbell and Poizner by significant margins ranging from 21 to 25 points, the people's demand for responsible government and Whitman's questionable voting habits, California's next governor is likely to be someone who's had the job before – Jerry Brown.
Are textbooks worth the price?
City College student doesn't think so
by Lovelle R. Harris | Staff Writer
Originally published in the Express on 09.14.09
A college education is priceless – but the rising cost of textbooks is not one I am willing to pay.
Don't get me wrong – I love books. From the way they smell to the way they sit obediently in my lap and transport me to another place, time or state of mind. What I don't love, however, is the ridiculously high price of textbooks.
In my journey as a college student at City College I've been subject to the book publishers' money-making machine for years, forking over my hard-earned cash for expensive one-use books.
While there are options like book buy-back programs offered at the City College bookstore, these only allow students to recoup a fraction of the cost of our books.
Full-time students spent nearly 60 percent of their budget on textbooks in the 2007 – 2008 academic year, according to an audit report on the affordability of college textbooks released by the state of California in August 2008.
According to another report on the cost of textbooks in postsecondary education released by the United States Government Accountability Office in June 2005, the price of college textbooks has risen at twice the rate of inflation for the last two decades.
Fortunately, there is a reprieve for City College students in the form of online book rental services and the City College library reserves.
Chegg.com, for instance, promises a discount ranging from 65 to 80 percent of the purchase price to rent textbooks, and many instructors reserve copies of their required texts for students to use on-site in the library.
The next time that my coursework requires that I purchase one of those expensive textbooks, you can bet that I'll be checking out the book reserve and Chegg.com instead.
Although I would love to add a first edition of Jack Kerouac's 1957 "On the Road" to my collection, I'll gladly take a loaner of "Mathematical Ideas" from a book rental site at a 50 percent of the $134.67 list price set by its publisher.

A family that has been ranching in the Sand Hills for nearly 130 years has won the 2012 Leopold Conservation Award.
Gov. Dave Heineman honored the Buell family during a ceremony in his Capitol office. Homer and Larry Buell operate the Shovel Dot Ranch about 30 miles south of Bassett, employing a variety of conservation efforts in their cattle ranching.
Homer Buell, spoke for the family during the Capitol ceremony, stating conservation has become part of the family's everyday ranching practice.
"We don't do the things that we do to win awards," Buell said. "We do it, because it's best for the land and it's best for our businesses and our ranches and can make us more profitable."
Buell credits the Natural Resources Conservation Service for helping the family install high tensile electric cross fencing and over 50 miles of pipeline, watering close to 100 pastures. The system allows the Buells to move cattle from pasture to pasture, taking pressure off the land and letting the grass regrow and the land recover.
Larry Buell said conservation simply makes sense for the family.
"I think the main thing we have to keep in mind is family. Family is the most important thing that we have," according to Buell. "And then we have to keep in mind our resources that we have and we're a family-owned operation and we have to be profitable. So, you combine those three things together they will work, with hard work, and you can have a sustainable operation."
The Sand County Foundation, Nebraska Cattlemen and Cargill among others present the award, which comes with a crystal trophy and a $10,000 award.

Review the advice, success stories and defining moments from several successful Australian women in export.

When it comes to obtaining credit from financial institutions, the perception is quite dismal from Zimbabwe women entrepreneurs a recent survey shows.
Yet, according to the study "An Analysis of the Enabling Environment and Potential for Women's Empowerment" by Dr. Charity Manyeruke on behalf of the Women Alliance of Business Associations in Zimbabwe (Wabaz), a significant segment of female entrepreneurs have not attempted to obtain funding from financial institutions.
The negative perception might be getting in the way of at least attempting to make things happen. Even so, it's still challenging to get funding.
• Based on the study, 34 percent of the female entrepreneurs who undertook the survey consider obtaining credit from commercial banks as "very difficult."

As Kay Koplovitz (pictured) points out:
Women hold 80 % the purchasing power for consumer goods in the U.S., a sector accounting for a critical 70% of the U.S. economy. So we already know that women are essential to the revival of the U.S. economy.
Women are also a rising powerhouse in building the economy as founders of high growth companies. Find out why by reading the entire article:

Hi, everyone! This week's Sketch Challenge over at Splitcoast was super fun! I also combined this week's Color Challenge: Pool Party, Marina Mist, and Garden Green. For my card, the 'Belles Vignes' flourish vine image was white embossed onto white cardstock, then the three colors were sponged. The window was cut out with the ODBD Custom Double Stitched Squares Dies, then the panel was popped up with foam tape over the embossing resist sponged panel. The ODBD Custom Bitty Butterflies were cut out of white cardstock, then sponged with the three colors; clear gems were added to give them a little "oompf" since the colors were light. The sentiment from 'Medallion Sentiments' was white embossed onto the aqua panel.
Thanks for stopping by!
God bless!

So as part of my new years resolution i wanted a simple beauty regime i could stick to. I'v never had good skin but then again i'v never really stuck to any particular routine. I'v also vowed i will keep up to dying my roots and pay more attention to my hair. I love having blonde hair but as any blonde will tell you it can be hard work, every time i go to the hairdressers the bleach itches my head and i sit there screwing my face up and vow i will return to my natural colour just so i don't have to go through the torture.
I wanted to invest in products for a basic skincare routine that i would keep up to and i choose the classic cleanse, tone and moisturise from clinique. I must say for the price of the products i am yet to notice any difference to my skin the cleanser seems quite mild and doesn't seem to remove all my makeup. The toner has a alcohol smell and the moisturiser seems to make my face shiny.I'm going to give these products a few more months to decide to work there magic otherwise there going to be replaced.
Can anyone help recommend some better products?
So this brings me onto a product i know and love!! Lee Stafford bleach blondes shampoo!!
For anyone trying to achieve there perfect tone of blonde this product is amazing.
I'm sure all my fellow blondes will agree the best compliment you can get is, how do you get your hair that colour?
Whenever i'v asked that question to random people myself the answer i always got was Lee Stafford bleach blondes shampoo. I find this product gives my hair a lovely pink tint to it as opposed to the blue tints most blonde/silver shampoos give. I'v since renamed this hair colour milkshake blonde.
I'm going to also give crazy colour a mention. Since i'm not brave enough to dye all my hair this gorgeous lavender colour (hats of to Kelly O) i sometimes dye just a small section. Crazy colour's are a great way to experiment without permanently dying your hair (although the colour often only stick to bleached hair) I also find the lavender colour eventually washed out to give your hair a silver tint what i love.
So i understand no skin care routine will suddenly give me a fantastic complexion if i don't eat better and drink more water. I'm pretty good at drinking water but i don't think i will ever be able to eat better, i have too much of a guilty pleasure love for cheese and sausage and egg mcmuffins (only on a Friday not everyday that would be crazy). So i'v since started taking skin, hair and nails tablets from Holland and Barratt.
So finally i might not know my skincare products too well but what i do know and love is my perfume. Here is my favorite day time and night time perfumes.
As you tell from the lighting these are both nearly empty. For a daytime perfume i love Lolita Lempicka by Lolita Lempicka (i'v also found it at a bargain price of £26.45 for 50ml). This is a rather sweet smelling perfume and reminds me of parma violets not sure weather you will think that's a good or bad thing, but this perfume has got me many compliments.
My choice of night time (or special occasions) perfume has to be Dior Addict. It's a little more pricey but this fragrance gives me an instant confidence boost and makes me feel sophisticated and indeed a little grown up. This bottle is the smallest 20ml at £35, however since iv given up smoking (almost a month now) I feel i'm entitled to splash out on the 100ml as a congratulations to myself.
What are your favorite perfumes and how do they make you feel?

Bringing Gender into the Energy Access Conversation
- Show The Good
- August 5, 2015
- Issue Areas
In the past year, we've had the good fortune of working with two incredible organizations dedicated to expanding energy access – Solar Sister and ENERGIA. Solar Sister helps empower women in Tanzania, Uganda and Nigeria to become solar entrepreneurs, selling home solar products to their communities – most of which lack access to the electrical grid. ENERGIA is an advocacy organization, dedicated to ensuring that gender issues stay central to the energy access conversation. We like to talk about our work at every chance we get and lately we've been getting one question a lot – why women and energy?
Access to energy is a key building block for reducing poverty, improving health outcomes, increasing security and eliminating discrimination. Access to a solar light can mean a craftsman can create their goods long after the sun goes down without risk of fire, exposure to toxins and the high price of burning kerosene gas. Access to a portable solar lamp can mean a midwife in rural Africa can deliver a baby during the nighttime while actually seeing what she's doing – reducing the risk of errors and allowing her to correctly diagnose any problems along the way. A cleaner cooking stove can mean that women no longer run the risk of poisoning their children with the fumes of burning animal waste when they make meals. The savings from all of the above can help bolster a family, provide a source of savings (from not buying kerosene and charcoal many times a week) and allow them to save for school fees or unforeseen financial difficulties.
One in five people around the world doesn't have access to electricity. Three billion people lack access to sustainable energy and still use wood, coal, charcoal or animal waste for cooking and heating. Energy is a building block on which sustainable development can grow.
In the developing world, women are often the main users of energy. They cook, they manage household finances, they pay for children's school fees and supervise their studies at night. They ration bottles of kerosene and ensure the family isn't burning too much money away with each lantern lit. With women as the main energy users, it only makes sense to integrate them into the energy conversation. It makes sense to have them help create solutions and explain those solutions to the other energy users in their communities. This is important because it helps speed the adoption of new technologies and ensures that women don't get left behind as energy access expands.
Sustainable development means that all parts of a community rise together on a tide. Not including energy access into the development conversation is a nonstarter – you won't get anywhere without access to energy. Not integrating women into that energy access conversation has a different result. It allows communities to move ahead while leaving women behind, tied to solutions which don't work for their lives.
Bringing gender into the energy conversation and empowering women to become energy practitioners, advocates and entrepreneurs ensures they make it onto the boat so we can all rise on the tide together.

Who did I just catch peering across the balcony divide? Little Bentley – our neighbour and Timmy's playmate. Luckily I had a planter blocking the way…it has happened more than once that he has gotten trapped on our balcony and security has had to come to the rescue. In any case, he is completely adorable!
Filed under: Dogs | Tags: Boston Terrier, Houdini, Manchester Terrier, Pomeranian
Last weekend we had our family over for a visit, including my darling Boston Terrier niece, Sousa. Tim and Sousa always have a great time together, and last weekend was no exception. I think we were all surprised, however, to turn around and find a third dog in our living room! Living on the 11th floor of our condo building made this sudden appearance even a little more mysterious…
Who could this be? And where did he come from? Turns out, this teeny little Pomeranian was able to squeeze under the barrier between our balcony and the balcony next door! Tim and Sousa were delighted, because this new addition could only mean 1 thing: TAG TEAM!
Despite our best efforts (neighbours included), little Bentley is quite the Houdini, and manages to come over to play at least once a week. He recently got a mohawk. Cute!

I wrote about getting 64 boxes from a single sculpt, for a row of dentils. The boxes end up being connected by unwanted strips, which can be hidden in the beams that the dentils are attached to. But to make separate boxes with no visible connections, you need to make sure that the interface between them in the sculpt map consists entirely of quadrilaterals that collapse to a single line or point.
Here's the layout of a single box in a 4 by 4 sculpt map. Cylindrical stitching provides the 6th face.
Two of these directly adjoining won't work:
In the middle column, the top and bottom squares collapse to invisible single edges, but the middle one has four distinct vertexes and will show up.
Adding two buffer strips of vertexes solves the problem:
Now all the squares that aren't part of the boxes collapse. Each box takes up six columns, except that there's no need for buffering at the beginning and the end of the map. So K boxes need 6K-2 columns. With 256 columns available, that allows up to 258/6 = 43 boxes. Their vertexes in 3D space can be anywhere you like, subject to the available resolution of 255 possible values for each coordinate.
Sculpt maps can be any size, provided the total number of pixels is exactly 1024: 32x32, 16x64, 8x128, or 4x256. (2x512 does not work very well and may even crash things.) In the early days, they could only be 32x32, and the largest number of separated boxes you could make in a single sculpt was 12. I forget who it was who first did that, but here's how it can be done. The general technique is still useful for making multi-object sculpts. First make a single box in the middle of a sculpt map (where you can't depend on the stitching for any of the sides):
All of the vertexes on the border are the same 3D point, which can be placed anywhere inside the cube. This occupies 6 by 7 pixels of the sculpt map, but you can't just fill it with 5 by 4 of these, making 30 by 28, because you'll end up with visible polygons connecting the centres of some of the boxes. You have to add some extra layers of wrapping. Here's how to lay out four boxes in the sculpt map, two by two, so that all unwanted quads collapse. Except for the outline of the cube template, the lines in this diagram join vertexes with the same 3D position.
To lay out two rows of four boxes, you need a second layer of wrapping:
Adding a third row and trimming off the unneeded buffering at the edges of the map will fit 12 boxes into a 32 by 32 sculpt map.
If you just want boxes, the need for that much wrapping is history. Choosing the dimensions of the sculpt map to fit the build saves a lot of pixels, leaving more for the build itself. But the wrapping technique is still useful at times. It's how tools like Prim Generator manage to put multiple prims into a sculpt map.
For all of the snowglobe scenes except the castle and the single Christmas tree, I used 4*256 maps. The toy trees come in three levels of complexity, using 5, 7, or 9 columns each.
The first and last columns are already single-point quadrilaterals, so there's no need for extra buffering, and you can fill the whole sculpt map with these, one after another, with no unused pixels.
The village church and the houses are a little more complex, but are still built from quadrilaterals.
The castle was a lot more complex. This is not built from quads, but from a 16 by 64 map. The 16-pixel axis runs up the wall. The 64-pixel axis runs around the outside, then back around the inside, using all of those 64 pixels. Here's a schematic layout from overhead.
More than half of all those pixels are in the middle of the sides of the castle. This is to allow making a doorway in each side, by pulling the middle pixels outwards and upwards. A similar technique pulls the top section of the wall down from the top of the turrets. After getting that to work, I had just enough pixels left in the vertical axis to hollow out the turrets.
Texturing the castle was easy: a free seamless snow-and-grass ground texture was suitably wintery. For the trees and the village, it was a matter of deciding the appropriate colour for each pixel of the sculpt map, and generating a texture image accordingly, upsampled to a suitable size and applied to the sculpt at 1 repetition each way. The automatic interpolation that the viewer does when stretching a texture map over a surface gave quite a pleasing interpolation between green and snow-covered branches even though the texture itself consists entirely of sharp bands of colour.
Texturing the 42 gift-wrapped boxes was conceptually straightforward. Lay out a suitable giftwrap texture for a single box and apply at approximately 1 by 42 repetitions. In practice, I'm a little hazy on the exact correspondence between a texture map and a sculpt map that it's applied to, and it took a lot of trial and error to get the texture properly sized, oriented, and lined up with the individual boxes. Once I'd hit on the right settings, I decided to make the boxes have two different colours. So stitch two differently coloured copies of the giftwrap texture together, halve the number of repetitions, and tweak the offsets.
A downside of packing so much detail into a single sculpt is that is doesn't LOD well. You need to either cam right in or turn RenderVolumeLODFactor up to 4.
I'm not doing any of this by hand, of course. I'm writing software to generate the sculpts and the textures, but showing the code wouldn't help. I'm using Matlab, because it's convenient and I have access to it through my work, but it's commercial software costing something like a thousand pounds a year, so there probably aren't many Matlab users in SL.

We had worked with Sandeep & Nitin during our pre-shoot and we fell in love with the way they work. They not only made us feel very comfortable but also our friends and family. All our guests were amazed by the efforts of their entire team. They asked us to just be ourselves and got every moment captured beautifully. They are truly a thorough professional. Source

When we got to the task of choosing a photography company to cover the wedding, the list was fairly small. It started and ended with Shutterink. Professional, creative and passionate, they take pride in their work, which translates into gorgeous photos and beautifully compiled videos. All deliverables were provided in the promised timeline, which was one of my biggest concerns when choosing a photographer. Highly recommended! Source

Nitin is the sweetest man in the industry. I was in the opposite time zone to him but he was always very very responsive to me. He took some absolutely gorgeous pictures of the couple and made sure to accommodate all our needs. When it comes to photography, it is important to be able to gel with the photographer to be able to be yourself in front of them. Our whole family felt extremely comfortable with Nitin and his team. They're very wonderful people who make sure you get your money's worth and handle all your tantrums EVEN POST PAYMENT! It was my pleasure working with them and I will continue to work with them over the next events we have coming up. Thank you Nitin :)

We couldn't ask for more! We found Shutterink on wedmegood and contacted them and everything was smooth. Afterwards we discovered that they had done a pre-wedding shoot for our friends in Toronto, Canada as well and they only had good things to say. Everything from the pre-wedding shoot, to the actual wedding went better than we expected. The communication skills, professionalism and talent that Shutterink possesses is what makes them stand out. They do go the extra mile, and they do care about what they do. It shows in their work! Thanks again Nitin and Sandeep and team, we were lucky to have you guys for our events!

I would always stalk wedding images by shutterink on facebook. So when finally my wedding with Ashish was finalised i knew i wanted shutterink to do the wedding photography. Amidst all the suggestions pooling from all sides, we both knew that we want no photography team other than Shutterink. Our first encounter with Nitin and Sandeep ( along with other professionals of the team) took place in Kerala. Kerala was decided as our pre wedding shoot location after many cancellations and change of plans. The first time we met the Shutterink team, we knew that they are not just photographers or film makers by qualification or profession but they are people who love their jobs and capturing handpicked moments is something that lifts them up. Those 2 days of shoot were an experience of a lifetime. Never ever we had encountered a team which was die hard professional and super friendly at the same time. Each and every member of the crew was fun loving and happy go lucky. Most importantly, they understood us as a couple and did the best to bring out the shots which came to us naturally. Not to forget, it was their enthusiasm which kept us going. The Shutterink team also covered our wedding which was an elaborate affair at Fairmont, Jaipur. Both the bride side and groom side were taken care of very well.. every person was extremely cooperative given the hush rush and back to back functions and rituals. It could be easily felt that the team wants to leave no stone unturned in their journey of creating stunning photographs, films and albums. Not only did the make Ashish and me very comfortable but also took into account the needs and demands of our family members. It was because of them that we never grew tired of endless posing and thouroughly enjoyed getting clicked throughout. And as expected, when the images and films were handed over to us, we knew it was going to be everlasting treasured testament of our dream story. We absolutely love how the most important days of our lives are reflected in your narration of our wedding story. Nitin and Sandeep, you guys are great and we could not be more grateful for having you guys as our lead photograhers for our wedding. Thanks a tonne for putting in your heart and soul to bring out such brilliant clicks and videos!

Sandeep, Nitin and the entire team is very friendly and humble who make your wedding journey memorable by capturing it beautifully. They are unbelievablely talented people.. We had an experience of a lifetime with the Shutterink team during our pre-wedding shoot. With the difficult terrain and weather in Spiti Valley, it was their passion that kept us going. The photographs were extraordinaryly beautiful just like the place. They take the extra effort to get the best of shots and that shows in their work. They actually went into the ice cold water in the crazy weather and captured some beautiful shots. Our wedding was super fun and we so loved the videos and photographs. Everything has come out so perfect and magical, it couldn't have been better. They have become family now and were a part of our celeberation. Thank you so much Shutterink team for giving us such beautiful memories.. Cheers!!

We had the pleasure of working with Shutterink for our destination wedding in India. We did pre-wedding shoot in December 2016, and then our entire wedding in February 2017 in Udaipur. Nitin and Sandeep were amazing to work with. They were flexible, on time, and captured all the right moments gracefully. I would totally recommend them to anyone. We have friends and family from Canada that would consider flying them here for their events!! -Nutan

From the moment we met Nitin & Sandeep we knew we'd have a laugh on our couples shoot in Agra. They made planning the trip from London easy. As a photographer myself, I'm not a fan of having my picture taken but the lads at Shutterink made my fiance and I feel at ease, they adapted to the bad weather and never once made us feel rushed. We'd put a lot of thought behind what we wanted and on the day Nitin & Sandeep were happy to try some of our ideas as well as bringing their own style to the images. They were patient and fun to spend the day with, my fiance and I had a lovely time. When we received the images back, we were simply blown away. The photographs were polished and will certainly never feel dated. We couldn't be happier with the final outcome and thanks to Nitin & Sandeep, our vision was captured in a stunning way! Thank you!

Wish you guys all the best. Thank you immortalizing the wedding for me. I will cherish the pictures and the videos for years to come. :)

Shutterink is amazing! Both Nitin and Sandeep were personally engaged throughout the negotiation phase and they were onsite covering our wedding events everyday. They offered us competitive pricing and went above and beyond with their delivery and service. They have an amazing eye for candid shots and are true experts in their field. They are also very very punctual - in fact they were always present and ready to go at our venues before the first guests gets trickled in. Final delivery of the albums and videos was a bit delayed, but throughout the process they were very communicative and adjusting to ensure we were 100% satisfied with the final deliverables - we would personally prefer folks such as Shutterink who may be a bit delayed but ensure top-notch work, as compared to someone else who hands in slovenly-done work just to ensure that they have a quick turnaround. When you have the support of such true professionals, getting photographic and videographic coverage for your events is a breeze. Highly recommend!

When I realized I was going to have my wedding in India, my first concern was finding the right photographer who would capture my wedding the way I wanted. Secondly, it was important to us as a couple to be captured the way we are, and not what one would perceive a couple to be. Nitin and Sandeep constantly listened to the many ideas we had, and made us feel comfortable during our shoots and wedding. We weren?t forced to conform with an idea that they had, rather, they so easily worked with us to make our ideas and suggestions a reality. This comfort level that we shared with them is expressed through our amazing pictures. One example of how professional Nitin and Sandeep are is from our pre-shot day. We only had the one day to take our pre-shots, and Nitin and Sandeep did everything they could to make them perfect. At first, the weather was very humid and then, later, it began to rain very hard. Being the awesome photographers they are, they were able to take some great shots despite the crazy weather. One of our favourite shots from the preshot day is where Peeyush and I had to stand in the middle of the road with an umbrella in the pouring rain. The picture turned out so beautiful but it wouldn?t have been possible if Nitin and Sandeep hadn't been willing to get drenched in the rain. From having our belongings stolen by the cops, to the tripod getting hit by a bus, our day with them was made even more memorable. We were grateful for the way Nitin and Sandeep interacted with our family and friends at the wedding. They left such a great impression on all of them, that for future weddings, we already have cousins that want to hire them! Our wedding album is only a small testament to the hard work that Nitin and Sandeep put into making our wedding perfect. Each photograph is so perfectly captured, candid and full of life. After the wedding and to this day, I am able to contact them about any concerns and questions I have. It is obvious that I am a priority to them even though it has almost been 6 months since the wedding; and sitting thousands of miles away, this feeling is a blessing. We would definitely recommend Shutterink to couples who would like their memories captured so perfectly and beautifully!

Nitin and Sandeep took our pre-wedding photographs in Kasauli. We're not the best bride and groom to deal with - pretty uncooperative. But, Nitin and Sandeep got us very comfortable and were able to take the natural photos we were going for - no poses. The resulting photos were amazing and we ended up using them in our wedding invitation itself. They are awesome photographers and we are still getting compliments for our invitations.

Nitin and Sandeep were the first photographers I met when I started to look at photographers for my wedding. And I knew it then only that they were the ones whom I wanted to cover my wedding. I am incredibly awkward, and hate having to pose for pictures, but they put me and my husband at ease and made it so much fun. I had the most amazing pre wedding shoot and the wedding was covered beautifully. The first question that anybody, who looks at our albums, asks is, "Wow! Who are these amazing photographers?" I totally recommend Shutterink to everyone. My wedding could not have been better covered. Thank you guys for the amazing memories. You rock!!

Wedding photography is a lifetime event. I was in a state of confusion.. then google drove me towards Shutterink.. Sandeep and Nitin mingle with you and understand your mindset.. a good camera or a good lens doesn't get a good photo... it needs a good photographer who can capture those precious moments.. Can recommend Shutterink as THE PHOTOGRAPHER.It was an outing-like fun event for us.. only few people enjoy there work, these two are among those few, no words to describe there work.. each moment captured is worth millions..

Smile Proudly with the Help of Cosmetic Dentistry
When your smile's appearance can use some improvement, cosmetic dentistry can help by addressing your specific concerns. For instance, teeth-whitening can erase embarrassing teeth stains; tooth bonding and/or contouring can alter a tooth's surface, size, or shape; and porcelain veneers can completely reinvent your smile by creating new front surfaces for your teeth. The goal of cosmetic dentistry is to improve your smile's appearance without drastically altering your healthy tooth structure or oral tissues.

Mr. Speaker, I listened carefully to my colleague's speech.
Of course, we generally support this trade facilitation agreement, but we very seldom have unanimity in the House. This could be one way to help support SMEs.
The three parties all agreed that another way to help small and medium-sized businesses was to cut their taxes, although they did not agree on how quickly to do it. Some members wanted to cut taxes quickly, while others wanted to implement the cuts more gradually.
Given that most of the agreement's articles and rules are already in place, does the federal government plan to do more?
Is the government trying to do more to really help small and medium-sized businesses to expand and export internationally, for example by putting money back in their pockets?

I live in the South. Louisiana to be exact. We don't really do Winter down here. We are used to only having one random day in January that would be considered Winter weather. This week we have had 5 days. It has gotten into the teens. There has been ice and snow. In Louisiana! This was our second snow day this Winter. Our state shut down. Schools and businesses were closed.
Y'all. Lousianians have been going crazy. We don't know what to do with ourselves. We have been cooped up in our homes complaining on social media about power outages and water problems.
These crazy little turkeys of mine haven't been to school all week. We have been in close quarters this whole time. I admit I allowed them to have way more screen time than they should but they just don't do well with this much togetherness. None of us do.
The kids get antsy. They argue. They annoy each other. They whine. As kids do.
But.. we have survived. I managed to not go completely crazy this week. My mental status has been fairly level as well. Which is a miracle because I had no coffee or Dr Pepper this entire week. My two major lifelines.
Maybe we're finally getting the hang of this.
Still, Mother Nature… go home. We have had our fill of Winter weather. It's time to get us warmed again.

This 2007 BMW E87 5-door hatchback started life with as a 118d model with a turbo diesel inline-four. However the owner Josh wanted more power and torque so he turned to the talented mechanics at Quarry Motors in Sheffield, UK for a solution. There the car received a twin-turbo 3.0 L M57 (M57D30TÜTOP) inline-six and ZF six-speed automatic transmission from a 335d E90. The engine makes 379 horsepower and 599 lb-ft of torque but with the water/methanol injection active, it makes 409 horsepower and 654 lb-ft of torque. The suspension is from the 335d upgraded with KW Clubsport adjustable coilovers and anti-roll bars. On the outside the hatchback wears a BMW 1M body kit with a carbon fiber roof.

As Texas' first 85 mile-per-hour highway makes its debut, not everyone is on board with the new road, which now has the highest regulated speed limit in the United States. According to critics, the 40-mile stretch of road could be a dangerous highway that leads to even faster and more rampant speeding than is already seen on other state highways. Increased highway speed limits have become common practice in Texas, which has increased speed limits to 75 or 80 miles per hour on almost 6,500 miles of highway. This has been done despite warnings from safety experts that an increase in roadway fatalities is likely to occur and despite the fact that Texas already has a high traffic fatality rate compared with other states.In regard to the 85 mile-per-hour speed limit, state officials say they aren't worried about an increase in highway deaths, indicating that data shows previous speed limit increases across the state did not produce catastrophic results.
Speed cameras continuing to plague D.C. drivers
From New York to Los Angeles, drivers in any big city are accustomed to dealing with certain realities while navigating their respective streets. One of these realities is that at some moment they will take their eyes off the speedometer and find themselves being handed a speeding ticket by a police officer.
Did a film company post fake 'no parking' signs in Astoria?
One of the realities of living in a city the size of New York is that you are bound to encounter a television or film crew shooting scenes on a public street sooner or later. Sometimes this can prove to be a real thrill and provide a much-appreciated look at life behind-the-scenes. Other times it can prove to be a real nightmare, tying up traffic and temporarily eliminating entire blocks of valuable parking spots.
Police officer believes ticket issued to popular college football coach caused his firing
Clemson University head football coach Dabo Swinney is a popular figure in his state -- so popular, in fact, that a recently fired police officer believes he was terminated for issuing him a speeding ticket. The ticket was issued early last month after the coach was clocked driving 63 miles-per-hour in a 35 mile-per-hour zone in Pickens, South Carolina, a town just 20 miles from Clemson's campus. Swinney -- who was pulled over in the parking lot of a grocery store where he was scheduled to perform his radio show -- ended up signing autographs for fans who saw him waiting outside his truck for the speeding ticket.
Look very closely the next time you get a parking ticket here in NYC
Of all the traffic violations that you could be issued here in New York City -- speeding, red light summonses, failure to yield, etc. -- none are perhaps as frustrating as parking tickets. When you see that colored envelope tucked beneath the windshield wiper of your car, your first reaction is probably to utter an otherwise unprintable sequence of words and crumple the ticket in anger.
Double trouble: Driver gets two speeding tickets at once
It's bad enough to get one speeding ticket. Getting two speeding tickets at the same time is much worse -- and not something that anyone expects to happen. It did happen recently, though, to a retired couple driving on a Georgia road. The driver informed a local news station that she was astonished when a patrol car pulled her over, as she hasn't gotten a speeding ticket in 30 years. However, by the time she pulled over to the side of the road, there were two police cars behind her.
New obstacles for blind pedestrians in NYC
There's no question that New York City can be a mixed bag for blind residents trying to get around. On the one hand, the city, with its extensive public transit system, is far more accessible than many other places. On the other hand, with its speeding cars and bumpy sidewalks, the city presents a variety of obstacles and dangers to the visually impaired.
'Speed Week' officially underway on New York's roads and highways
This coming week, people from all over the country will be flocking to south central New York for the big NASCAR race at Watkins Glen International. However, whether you are a spectator or simply a resident of the area, you will want to do your best to keep one eye on your speedometer and try not to emulate the driving skills of NASCAR's best.
Crash Investigation Reform Act aims to decrease traffic accident injuries, deaths
A newly proposed bill is seeking to create a task force to reform accident investigations in New York City in the hopes of reducing the overall number of traffic-related injuries and deaths. In addition to car-on-car accidents, the bill is also designed to reduce the injury and fatality rates of pedestrians and bicyclists struck by vehicles. With support of the New York City Council and the advocacy group Transportation Alternatives, the bill calls for a comprehensive review of the traffic safety enforcement and investigation protocols currently enforced by the New York City Police Department. The bill, known the Crash Investigation Reform Act, was written under the premise that current traffic enforcement and investigation standards are simply not meeting the needs of public safety.
Update: Justin Bieber given traffic ticket after high-speed paparazzi chase
A few weeks ago, we discussed how pop star Justin Bieber was issued a speeding ticket for driving more than 65 miles-per-hour while attempting to evade paparazzi on Los Angeles' 101 freeway.

Reasons for Designation
Henges are ritual or ceremonial centres which date to the Late Neolithic
period (2800-2000 BC). They were constructed as roughly circular or oval-
shaped enclosures comprising a flat area over 20m in diameter enclosed by a
ditch and external bank. One, two or four entrances provided access to the
interior of the monument, which may have contained a variety of features
including timber or stone circles, post or stone alignments, pits, burials or
central mounds. Finds from the ditches and interiors of henges provide
important evidence for the chronological development of the sites, the types
of activity that occurred within them and the nature of the environment in
which they were constructed. Henges occur throughout England with the
exception of south-eastern counties and the Welsh Marches. They are generally
situated on low ground, often close to springs and water-courses. Henges are
rare nationally with about 80 known examples. As one of the few types of
identified Neolithic structures and in view of their comparative rarity, all
henges are considered to be of national importance.
Although reduced by agricultural activity, this monument is still preserved as an earthwork enclosure and further details can be clearly seen on aerial photographs. Significant information about its form and function will be preserved within the bank and ditch. As part of a wider group of monuments in this area, this site will provide important insights into the study of a ritual landscape in the prehistoric period.
Legacy Record - This information may be included in the List Entry Details.
The monument includes a henge monument lying on undulating land in the Vale of
The monument comprises a subcircular enclosure formed by a prominent single
bank lying between two ditches. The bank is 45m wide and stands to a maximum
height of 3m. The inner ditch, which remains as a slight hollow, is 5m wide.
The outer ditch has become infilled over the years but it remains clear on
aerial photographs. The inner enclosure of the henge, within the inner ditch,
has a diameter of 80m. Overall the monument has an external diameter ranging
from 240m to 254m. Access into the enclosure was provided by two entrances,
one in the north and one in the south. Each remains visible as a break in the
enclosing bank. Adjacent to these breaks, the ditches have been infilled to
provide access causeways.
The monument is one of a series of henge monuments located in the Vale of
Mowbray. These henges are also associated with other contemporary monuments
and groups of later round barrows. The study of these monuments provides
important information about their nature and function within a wider ritual
The monument is crossed by two modern fence lines. These are excluded from the

I was in the Labour Party for 14 years. One thing most people will remember about me was how I spoke up for all-women shortlists and decried the way women were forced into traditional gender roles, like making their tea in Ogmore or taking in the minutes in Pontypridd. I challenged both of these by taking on the role of Secretary in both constituencies, and showing the men in Ogmore CLP how to make tea – don't ask me how to boil an egg though!
Most of the women I know in Pontypridd CLP are neo-feminists – they want to be treated on the same terms as men because their values are still outdated, so they adopt all their negative traits such as being delusional about their true abilities and worthiness and try to control where they have no competency.
The women I know in Ogmore CLP are not even feminists – they know the men won't listen anyway because they think they know it all so let them get on with it and keep making mistakes.
The women I know in Rhondda CLP on the other had have no such hang-ups; they are assertive yet tolerant and competent and strong willed – the men in Rhondda know they have met their match! The women in the Rhondda CLP are proud to be women and proud to be from Rhondda – they know they don't need to be treated the same as Rhondda men, because they are confident in their abilities and who they are and in being themselves.

"Frankly, I like the dog names better."
Indeed! Also on Tuesday, BabyCenter released its annual list of popular and trending (human) baby names for 2013 and revealed that monikers like Kanye (!!), Korie and George are on the rise.
According to BabyCenter, the top 10 human boys' names are: Jackson, Aiden, Liam, Lucas, Noah, Mason, Jayden, Ethan, Jacob and Jack. The 10 most popular human girls' names are: Sophia, Emma, Olivia, Isabella, Mia, Ava, Lily, Zoe, Emily and Chloe.
To arrive at its lists of most popular dog names, Rover.com reviewed its database of more than 100,000 registered website users in the United States. Here are the top 10 lists for their male and female pooches:
Male dogs:

"Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous! Do not tremble or be dismayed. For the Lord your God is with you wherever you go. n Joshua 1:9
Sometimes when you step out in faith, you don't always know how it is going to turn out. Often, the process is that you hope for the best, commit it to prayer, and then … wait. During that waiting time is when I believe God works in our spirit -confirming, encouraging or settling us so that we are at peace and in alignment with His purpose.
I feel like that is where we are as a Haiti team. As we do our part in raising funds, praying, seeing who He is calling, we are in process, on a pathway to His final purpose. We don't know exactly how He will use us, only that He is calling us to go. While we know the destination, we do not know exactly who He will bring to us, who will cross our paths according to His divine appointment, nor what impact we will have.
There's excitement in that, but also uncertainty. However, we can rest in His faithfulness that He will have gone before and that He will be with us. As Joshua spied out the land and prepared to go in to conquer, he did not know what he would face or how fierce the battles would be, but God assured him -multiple
times -that He would be with him. That is all that he would need and that is all
that we will need as well.
If you are still thinking and praying about going, I encourage you to step out in faith, knowing that God will be with you and He is enough. We hope to have the team set by the end of December so we can make travel arrangements. Please let me or any of the other team members know by then.
Lotus Mccleery for the team
Thanks to the many persons who helped with the Haiti missions trip rummage sale in any way, donating baked goods, set up and arranging items and taking all the leftover items to the Domestic Violence Shelter, a Sugarcreek thrift store and Good Will. All this good work resulted in over $1800 raised! Your help was greatly appreciated! Praise God who supplies all our needs (including wonderful help).

The growing brokers' demand for MetaTrader 5 fuels the interest of vendors. The trend is evident — 3 months after launching the Marketplace, the number of its participants has doubled. Among the most notable integrators who joined the project are Dynamic Works, Fortex Inc, Brokeree Solutions and B2Broker.
— The marketplace significantly facilitates the business of a broker who receives not only the trading platform, but also quick access to a plethora of related solutions in a single place, — says Elina Bagautdinova, CCO of Brokeree Solutions. — We believe that this service will soon become the main outlet for companies in the industry due to its simplicity and transparency. For Brokeree Solutions, which specializes directly in software development and integration with MetaTrader 5, such a store allows focusing on the main thing — development of product series. Brokers already use a number of products from Brokeree Solutions: for example, Web API or Extended Agent Commissions — a plug-in for a complex agents reward system. We do our best to thoroughly cover the needs of our clients and develop new applications according to their requirements, therefore our MetaTrader 5-related series will definitely grow — four new products are ready to be released in May.
— We have been working with platforms from MetaQuotes from the very beginning and are now delighted to be a part of the MetaTrader 5 marketplace launch, — states Natallia Hunik, Global Head of Sales at Fortex Inc. commenting on the company's participation in the project. — As brokers are increasingly looking for a competitive edge through robust technology solutions to access interbank liquidity, Fortex welcomes this innovation from MetaQuotes to meet the growing demand. This demonstrates the openness we need to develop as an industry as with the MetaTrader 5 marketplace consumers will enjoy more choice and transparency than ever. MetaQuotes Software scale and expertise make the marketplace an excellent springboard to bring the right solutions to the brokers.
— We are really excited to have Syntellicore CRM & Traders Room approved on the MetaTrader 5 third-party solutions market, — adds Angelos Gregoriou, CEO of Dynamic Works. — Syntellicore Backoffice and Traders Room are both fully integrated with the new platform as an out of the box functionality. The MetaTrader 5 marketplace is a great initiative by MetaQuotes that makes solid products and reliable vendors to stand out, while helping brokers in making the right decision for their organization.
— The new B2B platform from MetaQuotes makes a significant contribution to the development of the MetaTrader 5 trading system market, — says Artur Azizov, CEO of B2Broker. — We have something to offer to every broker, as B2Broker has been implementing MetaTrader platforms since 2014 and is thus able to compete with the industry's leading players. We already provide our customers with White Label solutions on the MetaTrader 5 platform and can provide migration from MetaTrader 4 to the new platform.
The MetaTrader Market features more than 2,000 trading robots and indicators for MetaTrader 5. For your convenience, all products can be sorted according to the popularity, the price and other criteria. Each application is provided with a detailed description and screenshots.
Scalpers, martingale robots or neural networks — in the Market you can find trading robots complying in full with your trading strategy. Do you need the "right" indicator for comprehensive technical analysis? Now you know where to find it.
Any trading robot or indicator can be tested before purchase. Download its trial version and run it in the Strategy Tester to watch the application performance on historic data. Visual testing, optimization of input parameters and forward testing are three features that allow customers to examine the program carefully.
Have you found the desired robot? You can purchase the selected trading robot without even leaving the platform.

Geneva – IOM, the UN Migration Agency, reports that 81,207 migrants and refugees entered Europe by sea in 2018 through 26 September, with 35,859 to Spain – an increase of 600 to this destination since IOM's last report on 23 September.
The region's total arrivals through the recent weekend compare with 134,614 arrivals across the region through the same period last year, and 302,803 at a similar point in 2016.
Geneva – IOM, the UN Migration Agency, reports that 71,779 migrants and refugees entered Europe by sea in 2018 through 5 September, with 31,040 to Spain, the leading destination this year. This compares with 125,613 arrivals across the region through the same period last year, and 289,681 through a similar point (6 September) in 2016.
Geneva – IOM, the UN Migration Agency, reports that 55,001 migrants and refugees entered Europe by sea through 25 July 2018. That total compares to 111,753 at this time last year, and over 250,000 at this time in 2016.
Arrivals to Spain this month have overtaken those to Italy. To date just over 38 per cent of all Mediterranean irregular migrants have come via the Western Mediterranean route, whose irregular migration volume has more than tripled those registered at this time last year.
During 2017, almost 38,900 refugees were submitted by UNHCR for resettlement1 to 25 countries in Europe,2 36% more than during 2016 and over three times greater than the average rate of 12,400 submissions per year during the last decade.
Between 2007 and 2016, Europe's proportion of resettlement sub-missions globally has increased from approximately 9% to more than 18%, and in 2017 reached 52%. This is primarily due to a significant decrease globally in new submissions for resettlement, most notably to the United States of America.
The global burden of Improvised Explosive Devices
Iain Overton and Jennifer Dathan
There is no day that goes past without the impact of an improvised explosive device (IED) making headlines around the world. Of all explosive weapons used, the IED is the most widespread, the most harmful and the most pernicious. Based on the belief that to overcome a problem, we must first understand it, this monitor is a small step in seeking to address the terrible realities of today.
It is a monitor that is, also, a response to a call to action.
Between 1 January and 31 July 2017, 25,556 refugees were submitted by UNHCR for resettlement to 22 countries in Europe, only 11% less than the total for 2016 and already 130% more than the average rate of 11,100 submissions per year during the last decade.

Refugee emergency in Europe: UNHCR appeals for USD 128 million

Troubled Malaysian government investment fund 1MDB defaulted on bonds on Tuesday, raising concerns the government may have to spend billions in a bailout.
But debt markets largely took the development in stride while credit raters said the Malaysian government has the ability to foot the bill.
1Malaysia Development Bhd. confirmed that it is in default on a US$1.75 billion bond it issued in 2012, after missing a US$50 million interest payment due last week amid a dispute with the bond's guarantor.
That default in turn triggered defaults on its two Islamic bonds, totaling 7.4 billion ringgit (US$1.9 billion), the Wall Street Journal reports, citing an official statement.
One of those bonds has a clause saying investors can redeem their holdings if 1MDB stops making payments on any other debt.
The fund said no cross-defaults were triggered on a US$3 billion bond privately issued by the fund in 2013, or on another US$1.75 billion bond also privately issued by 1MDB in 2012.
The defaults mark the latest blow to 1MDB, which is under investigation in seven countries, including Malaysia.
Global investigators say they are looking into possible misappropriations of about US$6 billion, said a person familiar with one country's probe.
1MDB, which is owned by Malaysia's finance ministry, has racked up more than US$11 billion in debt that could ultimately land in the government's lap if the fund fails.
The Malaysian government has directly guaranteed at least 5.8 billion ringgit of 1MDB debt and issued a letter of support for an additional US$3 billion.

Twenty years after the 1992 Earth Summit in Rio, Rio +20 is the United Nations Conference on Sustainable Development which is to take place in Brazil, in June 2012.
The event's purpose is to focus on economic and social ways to build a sustainable future for peasants and traditional peoples whom are disadvantaged as a result of the capitalist system. In other words, the discussion will revolve around ways to improve international cooperation. This will be done to achieve sustainable development in regards to elite monetary decisions.
Via Campesina, an international movement which brings together millions of peasants, farmers and agricultural workers, participates in this social movement by gathering member organizations to compile struggles all over the world as means of demonstrating their solidarity to the governments that will be attending the Rio +20 meeting.
"Each struggle, each act of resistance, each territory that we retake should be the expression of this global unity in the face of the advance of the capitalist system over nature"(Via Campesina, 2012).
Via Campesina also calls for action at the People's Summit for permanent mobilization going through the week of June 18 to 22 to express the fight against capitalism by organizing actions throughout the world such as marches in the cities, media campaigns, film showings and so on.
This is a call for action for those whom are living under norms that do not respect human rights. This is also a call for us, the "lucky ones", to allow the next generations to come, our children and our grandchildren, to live in a sustainable future.
