As threats to British high streets grow, how can shops meet new customer demands?
Already in 2018, we have seen the decline of many major retail companies, such as Toys R Us, New Look, House of Fraser, and most recently, Waitrose. Each of these retailers has, or is planning, to close a number of branches across the country in an effort to claw back profits. Although it looks negative for the retail sector, the ongoing closures could be a call for high street stores to fight back and change their sales tactics.
There are countless factors that contribute to the number of retail closures across the UK. This includes increasing rent costs, failure to meet profit margins, drops in sales figures and more. It isn't helped by the rise in online shopping and changing consumer behaviour. Both of these points have proven to cause issues for companies' in-store presence, as they are either struggle to meet new customer demands or can't compete with digital shops.
For those who work irregular hours, a weekly food shop can be done on your smartphone and delivered straight to your doorstep that same day. Because of its convenience, it's no surprise that online shopping figures have been soaring. Internet sales grew by 19.9% in May this year when compared with May 2017. It doesn't end at grocery shopping though – online fashion giants also dominate the market. For example, ASOS recently reported a huge UK growth of 22% from August last year to February, which translates to around £414.5m in profit.
The blame doesn't lie solely with online stores, as consumer shopping habits are constantly changing. The luxury of being able to buy whatever you want, without moving from your home, has proven hard to compete with. For example, fast fashion business H&M expects its online sales to rise by 20% each year until 2022, while it saw its store shares drop by 6% at the beginning of this year.
To up their game, high street stores should play to their advantage of being a face-to-face contact point, something that online is missing. Being able to speak to a physical human being can make your shopping much more pleasant, as it adds a social dimension to the whole encounter.
Although it will be sad to see some of our much-loved high street shops reduced to empty units, it could pave the way for existing businesses to learn from their mistakes and better themselves. The closures may also pave the way for upcoming companies to bring something new to the retail sector.

Ghana Police Says Homosexuals Will From Now Be Protected—Following Human Rights Watch Damning LGBT Report
Despite the absence of a well-defined law prohibiting homosexuality in Ghana, the existence of an obsolete legislation, which criminalizes unnatural carnal knowledge continues to be used against Lesbians and Gays in Ghana—and the population's "inherent" detest of homosexuality because of religious and cultural influence have made it worst.
Though unnatural carnal knowledge, reasonably would catch a husband having anal sex with his wife, the legislation only sits as homosexual persecution mandate in Ghana.
Thus, LGBT rights do not at its tiniest form exist in Ghana.
Worst, homosexuals are regularly beaten, shunned, discriminated against and sometimes even lynched. They literally have to exist in the shadows—sort of contemporary "vampires", unprotected by even the state.
READ ALSO: Christians Really Need To Step Up Or Shut Up About Gay Rights
Following Human Rights Watch's damning report on the state of LGBT rights in Ghana, the Inspector General of Police, David Asante-Apeatu has come out to say, the "police service would adopt more proactive steps and pragmatic approaches to ensure the safety of lesbians, gays, bisexual and transgender people in Ghana."
This assurance was made in a letter by the police service in response to the Human Rights Watch's report on the violations of LGBT rights in Ghana.
The Human Rights Watch's report which was published on Monday recommended a repeal of section 104(1)(b) of the Criminal Offences Act, 1960 prohibiting and punishing "unnatural carnal knowledge".
The report concluded that; "having a law on the books that criminalizes adult consensual same-sex conduct contributes to a climate in which LGBT people are frequently victims of violence and discrimination,"
It's in response to this report, that a letter from Ghana Police Service, signed by ACP Kwame Tsidi, chief staff officer, on behalf of the Inspector General of Police, has said that "the police acknowledge the fundamental human rights and freedom as contained in the 1992 constitution of Ghana…these are inculcated in the things taught to police officers at the National Police Training School Accra."
Also, paragraph 5 of the IGP's letter states that police stations are safe for LGBT persons to report cases.

MOORESVILLE, Ind. — The Mooresville Police Department is asking the public to help identify two men wanted for the armed robbery of a cell phone store on Wednesday.
Police say around 2:32 p.m. on July 3, the T-Mobile store at 492 North Town Center Road in Mooresville was robbed at gun point.
Two males entered the store holding handguns and escorted two employees and one customer to a back room where they forced the employees to empty the contents of the safe into a trash bag.
Employees were then forced to open the registers and the two men took the money from inside.
According to police, the first suspect is described as small, skinny, and had a mask on his face. He was wearing a black hooded sweatshirt with loose-fitting black jeans, and black and white Nike shoes.
The second suspect is described as having a stocky build without a mask on his face. This man wore a black shirt, ripped-up jeans, a black Nike hat and black shoes.
Police say the two men made off with an unknown amount of cash and phones.
They were seen leaving in a silver four-door passenger car with temporary paper plates, and a female was observed driving.

• Two (2) quick release features for easy, no tool, cell replacement
• Incorporates an adjustable shroud around the REME® cell, which allows customization of the advanced oxidation plasma output.
Here are some photos of the installed units:
Here is a photo of the bubble wrap thermal barrier that I had mention in my last post
New insulation
The old unit has been removed
Notice how the ductwork curves thus making it harder for the air to get to the actual living areas of the house. There was another sharp bend from where it was attached to the old system and attached to the top portion you see below..too many curves means reduced air flow
Another view of the bubble wrap air barrier
The old unit was upright. In order to not only straighten out the duct work, but to also greatly reducing the amount of ductwork and shortening the distance it takes for the cool air to reach the living areas, this unit was placed on its side
Look how short and straight the new ductwork is
This new unit was a work of art by the time the project was completed
They even made a new wooden platform to lay the unit down upon
This is the 2nd unit which was replaced in the normal upright position
We could have had this unit laying on its side for the same ductwork reason as the other but it would have meant moving the water heater. It would have caused a lot more work but since the ductwork was not as long and curvy as the other unit, it was decided to leave the unit upright.
Below is the Reme Halo induct air purification unit. The filter has to be changed out every 2-3 years
Next on the agenda for this renovation is the complete removal of all wallpaper that is in this home. This will be quite a job.

Spring 1994 Ready-to-WearMoschino
In anticipation of the upcoming Costume Institute exhibition, "Camp: Notes on Fashion," we've digitized collections from which pieces were selected for the show or catalog. This collection, Franco Moschino's last, was presented on October 3, 1993, at the Teatro Nazionale in Milan.
Franco Moschino was known for skewering fashion's excesses (especially those of the 1980s), but no one loved the medium—from its humdrum to its most-glamorous aspects—more. This is a man who made a dress in the form of a shopping bag, worked measuring tapes into flower-embellished sleeves, crafted hats that looked like model airplanes, and didn't shy away from send-ups of other designer's work. (Chanel was a favorite target.) "I know the history, which is the reason I can joke," he once told The New York Times.
Moschino's own history was on display in the fall of 1993. Concurrent with X Years of Chaos!, a 10-year retrospective of his work at the Museo della Permanente that later traveled, the designer made a return to the runway. Like the exhibition, this fashion show highlighted a decade of hits, from slogan-emblazoned bathing suits to pieces embellished with everything from roses made from zippers to Barbie-size garments. It was Moschino's last show; in 1994, the designer, at just 44, died of AIDS complications.

The Chevrolet Impala is a critical test-bed for two future GM technologies in 2015: a bi-fuel CNG option and the forthcoming SuperCruise automated highway driving system.
We caught up with a 2015 Impala LTZ featuring the shield grille that comes on LTZ cars with the Safety tech option package – and this is still the best-looking full-size sedan from Chevy in decades.
The current setup does not yet incorporate lane-keeping and automatic steering, but that is certainly in the pipeline. The Cadillac CT6 is tipped to debut a true SuperCruise functionality next year — with on-ramp to off-ramp highway driving handled exclusively by the car itself.
The CNG bi-fuel option is also available as of this month to retail and fleet customers. Running on gasoline or compressed natural gas, this ingenious tech is switchable back and forth between the tanks as needed. CNG is about half as expensive as gasoline, and produces only half the emissions — so it is a win-win aside from a trunk space cut and a price jump versus standard Impalas.
As a CNG and gas V6, the Impala bases at $38,000. For many fleet customers, however, this will pay for itself much faster than the base 2.4-liter with mild hybrid eAssist.
The trims and three engine options are detailed below.
The 2015 Impala looks amazing in the flesh and on the streets. One might even say it is… "really, really, really ridiculously good-looking."
Even its base trims are very cool and dark up front, with a really solid appearance that is unique and very attractive.
Yes, on a Chevy Impala!
The 2014 Impala comes in three engine options, from the eAssist 2.4-liter up to the 3.6-liter V6 that should be a must for anyone reading this.
The headlights are even quite interesting, which is special at this price point. HID bi-xenons are optional, with LEDs ringing the main beams and white LEDs down below.
The Impala's lighting is far classier than any Ford Taurus SHO, and makes the Impala look – at first glance, at least – like a viable Audi A6 competitor.
Impala's with the Driver Assistance Package include a special grille style.
Inside, things keep getting even better. Remember complaints last year about Malibu's back seat being smaller than before? Where did the room go?
It went to the Impala! This car is not only extremely wide and long, but inside: every dimension tops the Audi A8 LWB by at least a few inches. Seriously, the Impala is TGrande.
Refinement and rigidity feel nothing like the shakey old Impala, while things are very hushed inside even over bumps.
The last piece on this birthday cupcake of a redesign? A trunk of 19 cubic-feet.
That is huuuuge.
Congrats, Impala — keep up the good work!
A special nod of deep respect for the chief architect of this new Chevy: General Motors Chairman and CEO Dan Akerson.
General Motors is better prepared for the future now – via Akerson – than after any other departing GM CEO in memory. A harder job than his over these (often hellish) five years is impossible to imagine.
Congratulations to Akerson and the Chevy Impala are well-earned, to be sure.

We enjoy arranging bespoke birding tours, in which we look at your wish list or specific requests and design an itinerary for you. We also realize that you can't always make the dates of an existing tour shown on our website, but still want to do the tour. If you bring a small group, or if you want to pay more to make it a private tour, we can run these tours at any time by request (we'll advise, though, if we think the timing is bad; one doesn't for example want to visit Cuba during the hurricane season or Madagascar when the ground-rollers simply don't show themselves!).
We also enjoy putting together custom trips for Audubon Societies, Bird Clubs, etc. Sometimes we run these as "conservation tours", where we donate a certain amount per tour participant to the club or to a specific bird conservation cause, over and above what we already donate to conservation.
Every year we run a great many tailor-made tours. Please e-mail firstname.lastname@example.com if you want more details.
Testimonials from our tours
Dear Chris,
After a great and exciting tour with John Tinkler, I would like to thank you in appointing him as my guide for the trip. Even though John (and others) said that I was unlucky with the weather, I didn't mind it at all. We saw > 190 species, granting me most of my 'special' targets. John managed to give me spectacular views of many species from his special vehicle resulting in id and and better shots of about 50% of the birds found. I have started to sort out my > 1000 pictures and will posts a few of what I rate as iconic SA birds as a preview. Next to the birds, John gave me a very special but cold experience in the Tankwa Karoo. It was a trip I'll never forget and I definitely recommend John as a superb guide.Marc SmitNetherlands

The team also held discussions to formalise plans for collaboration with PRE Park in Kaiserslautern.
The delegation includes Mervin Alexander, Chief Executive Officer, Technopark; Binu Pazhoor, Chief Executive Officer, Infopark; Sabarish, Coordinator, IT Mission; and Syed Ibrahim, Chief Executive Officer of Palnar Transmedia and Director of Goethe-Zentrum, Thiruvananthapuram.

Lord Mayor Klaus Weichel and Michael Wenk, Chief Executive Officer of the PRE Park, expressed their desire to work closely with the Kerala State IT Mission and the technology parks in Kerala. They agreed to forge and sustain a long-term IT cooperation between Kerala and Kaiserslautern. A video conference session will be organised in May for the IT companies in Kerala to interact with the PRE Park authorities, Mr. Alexander said in an e- mail from Germany.

- Yard
- Colloquial term for a billion dollars. Most often used in currency trading. For example – A billion yen equals USD 10 million. It's more understandable when the investor says that he wants to buy 'one yard of yen' than when he says that he wants to buy 'one billion yen' which can be misheard as 'one million yen'.

This almost unbelievably grandiose beachfront estate in Hillsboro Beach is going to auction late this fall. The property has been dubbed Playa Vista Isle, and it certainly is terminally extravagant. The marble-and-gold foyer of the Italian Renaissance-inspired villa provides the tagline for what becomes a rollickingly unabashed trip through the upper-end fringe of residential development.
The scale and detail of the construction are arresting in their accumulated theatricality; the estate was probably intended to be the most lavish in the State of Florida. The building process—which concluded this year—was apparently a labor of perfectionism, and it is estimated that total construction cost tickled the $100 million mark.
There are columns a-plenty, and there is a great deal of gilding. The contemporary 1-2 bed-bath ratio applies, with 11 bedrooms and 22 baths throughout a whopping 30,000 square feet of interior living space; total square footage measures in at 58,000. Amenities include an IMAX Private Theater, numerous water features, two deep-water docks, ocean and IW frontage, a five-acre lot size, and a spectacular pool. Details include some of the more ornate crown moldings we've seen in a recent build.
The property was priced at $159 million when it last surfaced on the market. It is going to auction to spur a speedy sale, which could indicate the developing firm got in a wee bit deep on this particular project. Virtual bidding on the home begins November 12, with the live auction scheduled three days later. There is no reserve set.

In the late 15th century, the Renaissance philosopher Marsilio Ficino wrote that music was "nothing but a decoration of silence", and music could bring on a "divine frenzy". The Italian lutenist Francesco da Milano, known as "il divino", was said to have sent his audiences into a trance and rob them of all their senses, save one, that of hearing.
Set in the 17th-century library of the House of the Redeemer, this recital by one of the world's leading lutenists transports the 21st century listener into a historical world of sensual delight.

Gaucher disease type 1 can be effectively managed with treatment, including oral therapy. Therapy has been shown to help reduce and relieve certain signs and symptoms of Gaucher disease type 1. The goal of treatment is to reduce or prevent the buildup of GL-1.1,2
Maximizing therapeutic goals
Gaucher disease requires an individualized disease management model that takes into account the progressive nature of disease and the severity of clinical manifestations. Generally, pre-emptive therapy before irreversible complications occur can be more effective than a "watchful waiting" approach.3
Treatment options for gaucher disease type 1
Substrate reduction therapy (SRT): Noninvasive oral capsule
SRT reduces glycolipid accumulation by decreasing the synthesis of glucocerebroside, the substrate of the deficient enzyme. The residual enzyme is then able to handle the decreased amount of lipids produced.2,4 Learn more about one SRT option »
Enzyme replacement therapy (ERT): Infusion
By adding more of the enzyme needed to break down GL-1, ERT catalyzes the hydrolysis of glucocerebroside, reducing the build-up of GL-1.2,5 There are several treatments currently available. Learn more about one ERT option »

Staff and clients of local rehab center say fire won't stop their mission
Staff and Clients of a rehabilitation center in Madisonville are coming together after a fire Saturday burnt down multiple buildings on the campus.
House of Hope was founded 10 years ago. It is a fully immersive one-year rehab program for men.
Firefighters responded just before 1:00 a.m. to the House of Hope on W. Trinity Street near Casey Street.
Shane Scofield has been in the program for five months and recalls the fear he felt early on Saturday morning.
"I ran out and was immediately choking on smoke and fumes. The whole building, the whole chapel was engulfed in flames," said Scofield.
Forty-three men were sleeping in their dorms when the fire erupted. Once they all got out safely, it was time to come together for strength.
"I felt devastated seeing the sanctuary, the gym, and the cafeteria burn. Of course, it brought tears to my eyes but it was tears of hope," said House of Hope counselor Towanda Webber.
Scofield said it was hard watching his home go up in flames.
"Due to my addiction I have burned all the bridges in my life," said Scofield. "This is the only place I have to go. It's this place or a homeless shelter. So for me, to come outside and see my home burning, there is no backup plan."
The cause of the fire is unknown but investigators believe it may have started in the back of the gym on the property and quickly spread to other parts of the facility.
There is extensive damage reported but the 43 men housed at the facility were not injured, according to Madisonville's police chief.
Now, all that's left is ashes, damaged dorms, and a wooden cross that wasn't touched by the fire.
The organization says even during one of its hardest times, they know they can come together to build their walls of faith back up.
"This is all we have, and so I know the community will come together and we will see beauty come from these ashes," said Scofield.
Midway and North Zulch Fire Departments also responded to the scene overnight for mutual-aid. The fire also rekindled early Saturday morning where the gym roof collapsed.

Many of you have asked what you can do. We are in need of twin size mattresses, bedding, hygiene supplies, men's clothes and men's underwear and socks. If you have these items please drop them off at the 1st Baptist Church (on the backside of the gym) in Madisonville until 6:00 p.m. today (11/9) or Monday-Friday from 8:00-5:00.

Shakespeare is magical. His works are full of fairies, gods, witches, and prophecies. But more importantly, Shakespeare is magical because his words transport us into new realms. In The Winter's Tale, sixteen years can pass between scenes. When watching Antony and Cleopatra, the audience is transported across three continents, on land and sea. And while Shakespeare surely isn't the only writer with these supernatural powers, his magic pervades our culture in a way unlike any others'—Shakespeare is ubiquitous.
Many folks will have a "come to Shakespeare" story: a story about the moment when they first felt connected to his plays or poems, when they first "got it." I realized that I loved Shakespeare when, at seven years old, I went to the Stratford Festival of Canada to see A Midsummer Night's Dream with my Grandmother. I was transfixed by everything from the language, to the romance, to the day-glo gymnast fairies (the latter of which appalled my Grandmother).
Shakespeare is magical because he matters: to this day, he inspires countless directors, actors, musicians, and writers who use, borrow, and adapt his words. Shakespeare matters because he is magical: we continue to return to his works so we can conjure new ideas of our own.

by Jennifer L. '18 and Charlie H. '21, Policy Board Representatives
It is pretty hard to miss the protests, letters, and odes to and for chocolate milk and white rice in the cafeteria. As members of Policy Board, we have not been neglecting and ignoring them, but silently listening, working away, and making dues (hopefully).
First, chocolate milk. Currently, there is no more chocolate milk on Fridays, and sadly there is no expectation for that to change any time soon. Bon Appetit is unable to provide students with regular chocolate milk availability, for several legitimate and unchangeable reasons:
1) Minimum Purchasing
- The minimum purchase from Bon Appetit's chocolate milk vendor is around 9 gallons. However, OES consumes less than half of this amount on a weekly basis.
2) Consumption rate plummeted middle of last year
- Because the shelf life of chocolate milk is "terrible," the cafeteria ended up throwing out gallons and gallons of chocolate milk out every week, because students weren't drinking it as much anymore. In an attempt to not waste food and money, they stopped the order (Just to get ahead of the questions, Bon Appetit is unable to serve chocolate milk more than one time a week, as it would be only for the upper school and there is not enough transition time between the middle school and upper school lunchtimes to change out the milk machines. Also, these transitions frequently result in food spill and waste being a hazard to employees and students).
3) The inability to change vendors
- Since OES Bon Appetit is just one of the many branches of the full food-service management (that operates in more than 33 states), Kelly and the wonderful staff who serve us every day don't have any power over which vendors can stock OES with a personal order of chocolate milk.
We'd like to debunk the rumor that Bon Appetit is imposing a mysterious and unknown health food agenda behind our backs. The reasons listed above are legitimate and beyond our control.
However, though we won't have a rich, delicious, and chocolatey drink to indulge in EVERY Friday, we will have the chance to enjoy our favorite beverage once in a while:
- Chocolate milk will be offered OCCASIONALLY at special events like at Good V18es lunches or make a pint-sized appearance on 10 AM snack carts (served on a first come, first serve basis)
- There is also talk about putting it in the drinks vending machines if enthusiasts are inclined to advocate for their chocolate milk and posterity's more.
If you have a strong opinion about which one of these^^ options, please voice your opinion here.
Second, the beloved white rice, has been PARTIALLY substituted with brown rice. Some reasons for this change include…
- White rice is a processed food. White rice is not whole grain, like brown rice. As an educational institution, we are required to provide a certain amount of whole grains instead of "processed" and "enriched," according to the USDA.
- White rice is also TWICE as expensive as the brown rice from Bon Appetit's provider, so it is much more cost effective to purchase and not waste brown rice.
Some dissenting opinions also might point out the occasional deficiency of rice as they wait in line. However, the machines in the kitchen only take in four pounds of rice at a time, so there is an equipment struggle. Now add the very small amount of time the cafeteria has between MS and US lunch into the equation, it is a difficult task to continuously pump in and out rice for three hours straight.
The cafeteria has not taken anything even CLOSE to an anti-white rice stance, but simply provides white rice when it sees it is menu appropriate.
Kelly also excitedly encouraged and reemphasized how much she wants input from the students on different menu items. Just keep in mind if your suggestion is not immediately served the next day or ever, do not fret. It is most likely the team found an issue in the budget OES Bon Appetit has been given by the school, potential waste and compost, ability to replicate the same meal across three divisions, vegan/vegetarian/gluten free/dairy-free derivatives of the meal, or something else.
Please come to the open seat on Policy Board every Thursdays or email us with suggestions on what to do with white rice and chocolate milk if you are still unsatisfied.
We are not trying to silence the vocal advocates of chocolate milk and white rice, but simply hope to educate the student body on the bigger picture and the reality of the situation. We have appreciated everyone's opinions in creating a better experience for all of the student body. We look forward to working on the next questions y'all want answered.

It seems that the vast majority of Australian progressive opinion is against a plebiscite on same-sex marriage. It will be divisive, costly and give conservative forces like the Australian Christian Lobby and its handful of parliamentary backers significantly more air than they deserve. Many campaigners would have the government simply pass the changes through parliament, and avoid this mess.
And these are all legitimate concerns. Last week we saw the release of a pretty terrible little leaflet backed by a former Howard government MP, claiming amongst other things that it would be an infringement of Human Rights (that old chestnut) to allow gay and lesbian couples to marry. It is clear that opponents will rely on anything they can, and get whatever airtime they might be able to muster, to mount their poorly thought through 'no' campaign.
But, as a historian, this has gotten me thinking about 1967, when a similarly symbolic political decision was put to the Australian people. The 1967 referendum, as it is now popularly known, removed two discriminatory clauses from the Australian constitution: allowing for aboriginal people to be counted in the census, and for the federal government to make laws concerning Aboriginal people.
First off, I know that a plebiscite and a referendum are not the same thing. A referendum is binding, a plebiscite is not, alongside many other subtle differences. But the overall experience of either is the same – the Australian people are asked to make a decision on something of national importance. And, as such, I feel that there is reason to look back at the outcomes of 1967 and see if it can provide any insights.
- Symbolic changes muster widespread support
One of the key concerns around the holding of a plebiscite is that it will open a hell mouth of prejudice. It is interesting to note, however, that the 1967 referendum actual encountered very little opposition. Melbourne's The Age could easily have been talking about same sex marriage when it described the 1967 referendum's proposed changes as a "simple matter of humanity…[and] a test of Australia's standing in the world." And it is clear that all the mouthpieces of mainstream opinion will support the 'yes' case this time – even Murdoch's Australian is now backing marriage equality.
So, the ACL and other anti-marriage equality forces will have to rely on their own steam to get their hateful message out. But, even as an organisation, they are actually significantly weaker than many progressives would like to admit. It's hard to think of a policy they have actually influenced, and their views are very far away from those of actual Christians (a majority of whom now support same-sex marriage, as Charlie Pickering's anti-plebiscite tirade noted last night).
- There isn't much power in symbolism…
A second way the 1967 referendum shines light on a potential gay marriage plebiscite – or the granting of same sex marriage rights in general – speaks to the power (or lack thereof) of symbolic change at the level of law, act or decree. The 1967 referendum came about after significant work by groups like the Federal Council for the Advancement of Aborigines and Torres Strait Islanders (FCAATSI) which one voting and other 'citizenship' rights in Australian federal and state jurisdictions throughout the early-mid 1960s.
The referendum itself – contrary to popular remembrance – only consolidated pre-existing gains. As will the eventual (and inevitable) passage of same sex marriage laws, with many of the key rights that go along with marriage already available to same sex couples, owing to decades of activism.
Equally, what little substantive change the referendum brought about was very slowly uptaken by government. It took the election of the Whitlam Labor government in 1972 – five and a half years after the referendum's passage – for the federal government to take seriously its mandate to make significant federal policy on aboriginal Australians. Much like with this proposed plebiscite, the government didn't act until it was forced to.
- …but it might clear the way for something better
And I do think that this is an important point. It is activism on the streets – not through the government, or legal system – which has always created change. Indeed, it was the disappointment and frustration with the ineffectiveness of the 1967 referendum that led to a new generation of aboriginal activists – Paul Coe, Bobbie Sykes and Gary Foley amongst many others – to look to the United States and Africa for ideas of 'black power' which went beyond a liberal desire for piecemeal change. It was the very failure of 1967 and the concurrent upsurge in militant activism, including most famously the Tent Embassy in Canberra, which put Aboriginal rights high on Whitlam's agenda.
As has been correctly pointed out by many commentators, there is nothing binding the government to do anything about a plebiscite – although it is worth noting that the famous WWI plebiscites that defeated conscription were adhered to by the conservative government, as was the only other plebiscite in Australian history (1977). Much as with the aftermath of the 1967 referendum, it is militant activism and debate which is going to make same sex marriage a practical reality. The plebiscite will add a popular mandate that a decision at the legislative level will not, but equally the process of convincing recalcitrant individuals, churches and conservative organisations will be ongoing – this could be described as the difference between a political and a social shift.
Equally, broader issues facing the LGBTIQ community – high rates of suicide, workplace and school discrimination and bullying alongside so many others – will not be addressed by the passing of marriage equality. Much like the aftermath of the 1967 referendum, the full constellation of continuing oppression will require continued and enlivened struggle by activists, such as those supporting the Safe Schools program, who see beyond the power of symbolism.

The Home Secretary's speech to the National Police Chief's Council adds to the bitterly disappointing punitive narrative around the rise in violent crime. The challenge of serious youth violence requires politicians to seriously contemplate the effectiveness of current failed approaches and to have the courage to challenge the conventional wisdoms of perpetual punishment that our failing criminal justice system is built upon.
Bob Marley was the master of lyrical poignancy that would stay lodged in the memory for generations. One of his classic one-liners was "who feels it knows it".
The issue of stop and search and particularly the dichotomy between the conventional wisdoms that dominate our national discourse around crime and punishment and lead us to the` natural' assumption that more stop and search's of target groups (e.g. young black boys) will reduce serious violence epitomises the marked point Marley makes. Of course there is an opposing view to this narrative which unfortunately gets very little air time in the conventional spaces within the mainstream media where these debates play out.
This of course is largely due to the demographic of those groups and communities on the receiving end of stop and search as a Police power and the huge inequalities and power in-balances in our society this exposes. I will attempt to articulate a counter narrative on this issue which is that stop and search is ineffective and is contributing to the deterioration in police and community relationships that can protect our society and the most vulnerable groups, particularly children from serious youth violence.
My specific concern is around the experiences of children and particularly black and minority ethnic children in relation to their encounters of policing. Last year BTEG with the Children Rights Alliance England wrote to Sir Tom Winsor the HM Chief Inspector of Constabularies requesting he launch a review into the treatment and experience of black and minority children in the area of policing.
Some of the statistics we forwarded to Sir Tom with regards to the Met Police are highlighted below:
The concept of` trust and confidence' is a phrase that has become part of the language of our policing and public authority bureaucracies. However, it very rarely engages with the underlying causes to low levels of trust amongst black and ethnic minority communities, particularly young people.
But of course statistics only show part of the problem. They don't un-wrap the very human experiences of the children affected by early negative contact with the police. A recent report from Stopwatch (a coalition of academics and community organisations campaigning for the reform of stop and search powers) on the Met Police's gangs matrix delves deep in to the traumatising experiences of children and young people routinely subjected from a young age to this model of policing.
David Lammy MP in a recent newspaper article gave us a small glimpse of this world sharing his experiences of being stopped and searched in Tottenham as a child. As a parent I know it is a harrowing ordeal for a young child.
Anyone involved in the current policy dialogues around youth violence (as I am) will be familiar with the term `adverse childhood experiences'. ACE's (as our public authority officials have shortened them to), are the pointers in a young person's life that may lead them to be more susceptible to entry into the youth justice system or engaging in serious youth violence (e.g. exclusion from school, parental breakup etc.).
I would suggest the points I raise in this article accounting for the experiences of too many black and minority ethnic children with regards to policing certainly need to be added to the ACE's chronology. This may be something the NPCC may wish to contemplate as they take on new shared statutory responsibilities for local safeguarding responsibilities from next year.
So back to Bab Marley's lyrics - I would suggest that if the model for policing that is being applied to black and minority ethnic children in areas such as London were applied across the country, the response of our politicians would be very different. Falling into the failed comfort zone of more and more punitive measures may play to the majority audience but it will not address serious youth violence and down plays the serious risks and long term damage to community cohesion.

Jiah Khan death case: Sessions court rejects CBI's plea of transferring trial
Agency had moved aplea in July in the city civil and sessions court requesting transfer of the trial to special CBI court
In a major setback to the CBI's role in the probe of the Jiah Khan death case, the sessions court on Thursday refused to transfer the matter to a special CBI court. On July 25, 2018, the CBI had moved a plea before Pushpa Ganediwala, principal judge, city civil and sessions court, requesting transfer of the trial to a special CBI court, and had even submitted a notification issued by the Law and Judiciary Department to support it.
The CBI in their plea (copy with this paper) stated that the Juhu police conducted the initial investigation in the case and filed a charge sheet before the 10th additional chief metropolitan magistrate court, Andheri, on June 10, 2014. Thereafter, the sessions court started hearing the case.
The investigating agency stated, "Following a Bombay High Court order dated July 3, 2014 in a criminal writ petition filed by Jiah's mother Rabiya Khan, the state government handed over further investigation of the case to CBI. She was not satisfied with the probe carried out by the Juhu police." The agency had filed a supplementary charge-sheet against the accused under section 306 of IPC on December 9, 2015.

The plea further states, "As CBI is investigating the case, the charge sheet should have been filed in a special CBI court. Due to a lack of inherent jurisdiction, the sessions court conducting the trial might benefit the accused. Even the investigating agency might suffer." Speaking to mid-day, Advocate Swapnil Ambure, who challenged CBI's plea in the court, said, "We pointed out that initially the agency was reluctant to take up the probe.
They were asked to find out whether the death was a homicide or suicide. The CBI had filed a report in December 2015, and there is no reason for them to seek a transfer of the case so late in July 2018." He further said, "The CBI's resolution does not make out a case based on which the trial can be transferred. Also, it was important for Jiah's mother to present evidence in court. The CBI kept claiming that the case was exclusively probed by them, and hence, it should be transferred to a special court, but that is not the case."

Across the K-12 and early care and education (ECE) communities, similar conversations are underway about how to recruit teachers and strengthen their preparation, how to provide ongoing learning experiences for new and veteran teachers, and how to organize school environments to ensure that all teachers can best address the needs of an increasingly diverse child population. But these conversations are also widely divergent, given that the histories of the two sectors have led to distinct personnel and service delivery systems.
In order to develop an early learning strategy for the U.S. that is capable of improving educational outcomes for young children, it is critical to understand the personnel-related opportunities and challenges the ECE sector faces, as well as how these differ from those encountered in the K-12 sector. This paper discusses the public perception of early childhood teaching, the history and purpose of education for children of different ages, and describes key features of the personnel systems that have emerged from these varied roots, comparing them along several dimensions, and offers several suggestions for promoting a skilled and stable early care and education workforce for the 21st century.

How wonderful, I hope they got a lot of donations. Where would we be without animal shelters. My daughters and I volunteer at the one near us. Dogs have been known to help with depression. I think it's a great idea to bring them to nursing homes and schools. I wish I had seen this sooner and my view would have counted.Mary Nielsen says:
These small puppies can bring joy to any enviroment, specially those cute corgies! 😀
I am glad Purina did this donation, shelter dogs need funding and it is never too much of it. I just hope that some of these puppies from the video got adopted by anyof these nice people that obviously loved them.
I wish someone did this at my work, from now on when the doors are open I will secretly hope that a crate will puppies will drive in 😀Patty says:
Ok, you're right…I was glad I watched that. How adorable!
