Central Area Action Plan
Part of the Local Development Framework documentation is the Central Area Action Plan DPD. This sits below the Core Strategy.
We have posted a copy of a BCS paper on the NPN Web site with a brief explanation of
what is happening with the Central Area Action Plan process.
See http://www.bristolnpn.net/current-projects/central-area-plan
If any members of NPN have any comments on the draft paper or are interested in being involved in the event which the Bristol Civic Society is suggesting,
please could they contact John Frenkel, Bristol Civic Society Major Sites firstname.lastname@example.com
Hotwells and Cliftonwood Community Traffic Strategy
Hotwells and Cliftonwood Community Association have drawn up a Community Traffic Strategywhich is available on their website http://www.hotwellscliftonwood.org.uk/
They are asking for advice from any member of NPN about how they can best ensure that the efforts that have gone into drawing this up are not wasted.
Does anyone have any ideas how the council can be encouraged to adopt proposals in the HCCA community strategy?
Contact firstname.lastname@example.com if you have any tips.

A variety of methods are available for detecting mutations, both in plants and animals.
Some of most important methods are described below.
1. CLB method for detecting mutations:
This method perfected by Muller has been used to detect mutations in X chromosomes of Drosophila. Even though it is primarily meant to detect radiation induced mutations, it can be used in the detection of spontaneous mutations as well.
Three characters on the X chromosome are chosen to study the mutation. These are – C = Cross over suppressor. This represents a long inversion in the X chromosome, suppressing the cross over in the inverted portion.
Cross over may still occur, but cross over gametes rarely survive due to deficiencies and duplications. L = Lethal gene. This is a recessive character. Hence homozygous females (l) and homozygous (1/y) males do not survive.
Image Source: wingx.ch
B – Bar eye. This is a dominant gene. This is used as a phenotypic marker for the flies required mating in the F, generation.
The working mechanism of this is illustrated in the fig. A CLB male is mated to a normal male which is subject to radiation.
The idea is to find out whether there are any lethal mutations sex linked chromosome of the male. Y chromosome is regarded as neutral as for as genes on x chromosomes are concerned.
Therefore any X chromosome of male which is irradiated I can be followed in subsequent generations and lethal, if any can be detected.
In the X generation (F1 generation; called X, because the individuals are X 1 irradiated X chromosome of the male goes to the daughters, who have another X from the mother; hence in this generation any mutation induced cannot be detected. The X progeny will be as follows.
A cross is now made between the normal male (with X also normal because it is obtained from female and the CLB female.
This CLB female has one of X chromosome from the male parent which is irradiated and the other is CLB this (X, or F2) generation all the males get one of the X chromosome, they (50%) because there is already a lethal gene.
If they get the irradiated chromosome, and if a new lethal mutation is induced then the other 50% also will die Hence if there is a lethal mutation on the X chromosome in the F2, no male progeny will survive and all will be females.
This is a clear cut evidence for the presence of a lethal mutation on the irradiated X chromosome. In the X2 generation the progeny will be as follows.
50% CLB; 50% Normal (with an irradiated X chromosome)
50% CLB (die); 50% carry irradiated X chromosome; die if there is a lethal mutation.
2. The Muller 5 method:
Like the CLB method this is also devised by Muller. The experiment involves crossing a homozygous Muller 5 female Drosophila with an irradiated male.
The Muller 5 female Drosophila has two marker genes – apricot eye (wa/wa) and Bar eye (B/B) in a long inversion so that there is no cross over. A homozygous apricot (eyed) bar eyed female is crossed with an irradiated male.
As shown in the figure, the F, generation female offspring which gets the irradiated X from the male parent is crossed with a wild male.
If a lethal mutation has occurred in the X chromosome, no wild types of male would survive, because they would get the irradiated X.
The absence of wild males in the F2 is an indication of lethal mutation. Muller was awarded Noble prize in Medicine in 1946 for this and many other discoveries that he had made in Genetics.
3. Detection of Autosomal mutations (Balanced lethals):
Autosomal mutations can be detected by making use of balanced lethal genes in organisms. A balanced lethal stock is one which carries a lethal gene in one of the homologues and its wild allele on the other homologue.
Homozygous individuals will die, so what survives is always heterozygous. Balanced lethals can be studied by using a specific strain of Drosophila melanogaster called the curly lobe plum.
In this, a stock of flies carry on one of the autosomes two dominant genes C (curly wing) and L (lobed eye) and a recessive lethal gene.
An individual with two CYL chromosomes will not survive because the recessive lethals will be in double dose and its homologue carried the Pm (plum colored eye) gene which is also dominant
When two individuals with the genotype {(CYL/Pm) X (CyllpM)} are crossed, the heterozygous individuals only would survive, as homozygous for CYLJ would carry lethal genes in double dose, because CYL chromosome the gene CY to the chromsome carrying Pm gene.
A female CYL/Pm is crossed to another normal male which is irradiated.
Four types of progeny are produced in the F, These are:
(a) Curly lobe (with an irradiated autosome A)
(b) Curly lobe (with another irradiated autosome B)
(c) Plum (with an irradiated autosome A)
(d) Plum (with another irradiated autosome B)
One of these flies is selected (because each one has one irradiated chromosome) and back crossed to curly lobe plum. The progenies will be of the following types.
(a) Homozygous curly lobe (dies)
(b) Curly lobe plum.
(c) Curly lobe with an irradiated chromosome.
(d) Plum with an irradiated chromosome. Among the above progeny, (c) flies are crossed among themselves to obtain –
(a) Homozygous curly lobe (dies)
(b) Heterozygous curly lobe (with an irradiated chromosome)
(c) Same as b.
(d) A fly with both irradiated chromosomes.
It is in the (d) category that any mutation induced would appear. If the induced mutation is lethal, it also dies and only the curly lobed individuals survive. If the mutation induced is not lethal, but a recessive trait, that would be expressed, since it is homozygous.
The same test can be done by selecting the plum with an irradiated chromosome and crossing it with a curly lobe plum with an irradiated chromosome.
The significant aspect of this cross is to bring together the same irradiated chromosome in the homozygous condition to detect all the recessive mutations.
4. Detection of Induced Mutations in Plants:
L.J. Stadler of the University of Missouri and Ralph Singleton of the University of Virginia have worked on the methods to detect mutations in maize and barley.
Stadler (1942) has made a detailed study of spontaneous mutations in maize. The following are the important steps.
(a) A genetic stock dominant for a number of genes is grown as the female parent. The tassels are removed before pollen discharge (to avoid self pollination).
(b) A multiple recessive plant in every fifth row is used as the pollen providing parent for (a) plants.
(c) Seeds were observed in large numbers for endosperm characters. Most of them show dominant characters. If any recessive character (of the male parent) appeared it is due to mutation in the female gametes.
Singleton (1962) used a technique similar to that of Stadler do detect both spontaneous and induced mutations in the pollen of maize.
His method involves collecting pollen from plants dominant for many genes and cultivated in a field irradiated with cobalt 60 and transferring them (pollen) on to the silks of plants with all recessive traits and cultivated in a normal field.
The seeds of the progeny would normally show dominant characters. If any mutation has been induced on a dominant gene, the recessive trait would appear in the progeny.
In this way Geton studied four genes Su -su, on chromosome 4, Pr – pr on chromosome -y on chromosome 6 and Sh -sh on chromosome 9.
The phenotypes of these red normal endosperm, su-sugary endosperm; .Pr- Purple aleurone, pr-aeurone; Y- yellow endosperm, y – white endosperm and Sh-full endosperm, shrunken endosperm.

Open Season
52 in stock
The morning headline said that the season had just opened, which of course we knew; I'd paid for my permit and stored my clothes overnight in a dry-cleaning bag filled with sweaty tee-shirts, a box of doughnuts and some bus exhaust, not easy to come by but absolutely crucial if I didn't want to spook my prey. And I was sure Juan had done something similar, then indulged in one of his many superstitions, perhaps putting on his right sock and shoe before touching his left ones, or wearing his yellow undershirt, or scribbling on his tongue with pens until he could taste the ink. Most of the people in Hopping John's diner probably had too, though few would care to admit it. The hunting gene ran deep, even if over the years a lot of people had grown wary of it, or ashamed.

Q&A by Hannah Tinti
- HT: What were your guidelines for creating this alternative world, where words are hunted? Did you start with any rules? Or was it the characters that developed the plot?
- PG: The second, definitely. It was only after I was done that I began to try to make sense of this world, and to make sure it made sense. And that process really accelerated during the editing. I had to spend a lot of time thinking about why certain things happened, or what they meant, logically, for the creation of this slightly off-kilter reality. Earlier versions had many more off-shoots, which in the end didn't help the story. You did a great job making sure I knew what I was about.
- HT: Do you have any hunting experience yourself? Or fishing?
- PG: Plenty of fishing, less hunting. My great Uncle, after whom I'm (indirectly) named, was a tool and die maker, and used to make custom shotgun chokes and barrels (I still remember the scents of oil and metal shavings from his shop, the way the freshly bored chokes felt and smelled), and his brother-in-law (my grandfather) taught me to shoot on farmland in Upstate New York as a child, often with those custom barrels. My dad (after whom I'm directly named) taught me to fish and took me fishing everywhere—freshwater, deep-sea, etc. To this day, he's a much better fisherman than I am, but I'm great at cleaning them. Some of my favorite childhood memories are of when the Blues were running and we'd catch, gut, clean, and cook them up within an hour. Most Thanksgivings we ate more Bluefish than turkey. As an adult, most of my experiences with guns have been on the wrong end of the barrel, so perhaps that's scared me off from hunting.
- HT: The physical details of the words are so memorable—the fawn scent of Kentucky, the slipperiness of Silicone. Also, the elements of the society (Trading Cards, The Word Institute) are incredibly sharp. Do you find that description helps ground your readers' imaginations, especially when entering some of the more surreal aspects of the story?
- PG: I like my worlds to be tactile, whether they're the ones I live in, write, or read. I think that's especially important in worlds that are like, but slightly different from, our own. The writer needs to make sure that readers don't feel lost. Think how precise the world is that Alice finds herself in, down the rabbit-hole. Bizarre, exhilarating, and utterly believable.
- HT: Do you think the government will succeed in "disappearing" all the words, as they continue to get rid of phone booths and mailboxes?
- PG: They'll try, but I don't think they'll succeed. People are incredibly wily and resourceful. I have a great reservoir of optimism about that. My great uncle, the tool and die maker, was orphaned at a young age, and ended up at an orphanage that taught all its residents a trade. Try as he might, he couldn't make a simple bolt and nut. Finally, frustrated, he stole one from the display case and gave it to his teacher, who spun the nut on the bolt, off again, on again, and handed it back. That's perfect, Paul, he said. Now go make one just like it. Fifty years later, my Uncle loved to tell that story on himself, and it always made me laugh. Eventually he figured it out, and went on to become quite good at what he did.
- HT: The narrator of "Open Season" has been searching for the word Lavender. What word would be your prized trophy, if you were a professional word hunter?
- PG: Tough question. Like most writers, I love words, and it's hard to narrow it down to one. I'd probably have at least a phrase I was after, and maybe even a clause, both of which would be different, depending on the season. In the summer it would have to do with coolness and some quenching drink; in the winter, warmth and the missing sun.
- HT: How long did it take you to complete this story?
- PG: This is always a difficult question for me. The first draft was swift, but then it went through many drafts, lots of tinkering, much refining. It also got put away for a while. So, overall, I'd say a couple of years.
- HT: What is the best bit of advice about writing you have ever received?
- PG: Leap. Nothing will ever be as good as you want it to be, so you might as well aim high. Not good hunting advice, but words are a bit different than game.

This is a photo from my big stage show. There is so much lighting equipment here, and it's no wonder that bubbles shimmer with different colors. |
This is a picture from the wedding bubble show. Here the bubble is dominated by color green, because the background is made up of a set of green LEDs. If you look closely, you can see the reflection of the lights in the soap bubble. As I wrote in this article above, the number of light sources also affects the beauty of the soap bubble. |
This is a picture from the same wedding party. Here, on the bubble you can see the reflection of the hall of celebrations, where the show of bubbles took place. The color of the bubble, of course, is stunning. Very clear separation of colors and their saturation. |
This is a photo with new lighting devices. As you can see, the bright light behind the stage is great. |
This is one of my oldest photos. Here, the secret of color changes lies in the black background and the successful arrangement of light devices. There were many spot light sources on the ceiling. This resulted in a lot of bright highlights. This bubble hung in the air for a very long time and managed to gain colors. |
In this photo, there is a children's party. In the kindergarten, where the event took place, the windows were on all sides. As I said, the sunlight is spectral and creates many colored bubbles. But the color of bubbles can be seen only against a dark background. On this photo the color is visible, but not as distinctly as we would like it to be. |
In the picture there's a Net wand. The number of highlights is also affected by the number of bubbles, even if they are clustered in a single large sectional soapy froth. |

The other day I was intrigued by a podcast that mentioned John Banvard. Banvard was an American artist, who rode up and down the Mississippi River drawing and drawing and drawing, until his picture was nearly as long as the river itself. (Or half a mile, actually.) As you might do with a painting that enormous, Banvard put it in motion. He rigged up a mechanism and put his moving panorama to music, so people could enjoy a view of the Mississippi River they were always hearing so much about.
Banvard even got to take his painting to England to visit the queen! While he was overseas, he painted more panoramas and became more famous. Back in the States, he opened a museum of oddities and was rolling in the dough for a while, but ultimately couldn't compete with PT Barnum, who had dishonesty on his side. That doesn't mean The Greatest Showman isn't a fantastic movie though.
Sadly, Banvard's famous Mississippi River panorama was cut up and nobody knows where any of the pieces are today. We are in a bit of luck, though! The actual Mississippi River is still around and available for public viewing! I bet your phone will even take a panoramic shot for you!
John Banvard, ca. 1855. |

Amid international condemnation of its treatment of its Uyghur minority, China selected Uyghur athlete Dilnigar Ilhamjan (Dinigeer Yilamujiang in Chinese) for the honor of lighting the 2022 Olympic flame. The 20-year-old cross-country skier can only hope to fare better than the last Uyghur to be so honored.
That was Adil Abdurehim, a Uyghur who served as a torchbearer at the 2008 Beijing Summer Olympics and was arrested nine years later. Radio Free Asia reported last week that Abdurehim "is serving a 14-year jail sentence for watching counter-revolutionary videos."
Like Ilhamjan, Abdurehim was also hailed by Chinese authorities as "a pride and representative of the Chinese people," said his cousin Abduweli Ayup in an interview with VOA. Charging that Abdurehim has been "used as Chinese propaganda tool" in 2008, Ayup said his cousin "was thrown in jail after his role ended up, his role at the Olympics wasn't able to save him."
Ayup, a Norway-based Uyghur activist, said that he has collected information about other Uyghur athletes and torchbearers who participated in the 2008 Beijing Olympics and who have since faced persecution of themselves or their families.
One of those was Kamalturk Yalqun, a 2008 Olympic torchbearer and now an activist, who called for the boycott of the 2022 Games.
In 2016, Chinese authorities arrested his father, renowned literary critic and Uyghur literature textbook editor Yalqun Rozi. The elder Yalqun was sentenced to 15 years in prison on charges of separatism.
"For decades, the stereotypical 'happily dancing Uyghur' has served as a puppet of propaganda for China's official 'ethnic unity and harmony' narrative," the younger Yalqun told VOA.
"This time, a Uyghur athlete was given an honor in front of the world to make the case for the same narrative."
Uyghur rights activists are not the only ones to dismiss the selection of Dilnigar Ilhamjan to light the flame as a cynical effort by China to deflect criticism of its behavior in its western Xinjiang province, where an estimated 1 million Turkic Muslims are being detained.
Britain, Canada, Australia and several other countries joined the United States in protesting what some have labeled genocidal activity in Xinjiang by refusing to send their diplomats to the Olympics.
After the flame-lighting ceremony, U.S. Ambassador to the U.N. Linda Thomas-Greenfield told CNN that China's choice of a Uyghur as one of two athletes to light the Olympic torch was "an effort by the Chinese to distract us" from the real issue.
"Uyghurs are being tortured, and Uyghurs are the victims of human rights violations by the Chinese. We have to keep that front and center," Thomas-Greenfield said.
China's U.N. ambassador, Zhang Jun, posted a statement on the embassy website rejecting his U.S. counterpart's remark, saying that "lies by the US about the 'genocide' in Xinjiang' have already been debunked by facts."
"People of all ethnic groups there are enjoying a peaceful, harmonious and happy life," Zhang said in the statement. Dilnigar Ilhamjan "is the pride and excellent representative of the Chinese people. On what ground does the U.S. has such inexplicable anger over this? And why?"
As for Ilhamjan, she vanished from public view after her cross-country skiing appearance on Feb. 5 where she finished 43rd.
Ayup, a Norway-based Uyghur activist, says he is not surprised by her perceived silence.
"Dilnigar Ilhamjan might one day end up in prison for a simple reason, being a Uyghur," Ayup said, adding that he hopes the "international community pays attention to Dilnigar Ilhamjan's fate" even after the Olympics.

We know from the stories in the children's books that Sherlock Holmes was an English detective that almost always got to the bottom of things. Most of the stories revealed what the antagonist's plans where at the end similar to the "Scooby Doo" television show. Most mysteries are structured like this but this particular adaptation of Sherlock Holmes was impressive compared to the classic Holmes. One of the main reasons I feel that this adaptation was great was because it was fit for an audience of 2012. The unfamiliar action and martial arts this new Sherlock Holmes had traits of was used to give the film an exciting impact.
This adaptation of the book does not replicate every detail. The reason for this is because filmmakers cannot place every line from the book and translate it on the screen. It will take up a lot of time. The attention span of the average American is short, hence the fast cuts and the added martial-arts to Sherlock Holmes. If it was a French film or Italian film, this film would have probably been more slow paced with more static shots, less fighting conflicts and more emotional conflicts.
The editor had used the technique of slow motion and ramp-ups at high frame rates to further emphasize the action. It was used to make a boring man an interesting man so to speak. The "Sherlock Holmes" we were use to before the film came out was a serious and clever but without the martial arts and the LA fitness membership. Flash cuts were used in the "Mini climax" points in the film during action sequences. The reason why this was use was because the editor wanted the scene to present itself with an energy that gave a "short breath" or jarring/immediate experience. For instance, the fight scene with Sherlock Holmes in an underground ring composed of a couple flash cuts that displays some of the background extra's facial expression.
The overall theme or look of the film had a late 1800's style to it. The set designer had given this look because it made the Sherlock Holmes presents more believable. It gave the story some character. This theme had a lot more detail and dirt. Things weren't "perfect". That imperfection had given the film the impression of realism. During the fight scene we clearly notice a shot of a woman that Sherlock Holmes has a liking to. She and her bright red clothing in the pale looking environment was used to emphasize her importance and femininity with in all the masculinity around her. In film and theater the color red signifies importance, danger, promiscuity and many more. It's an attention grabber.
The color of the film had a nice crushed blacks and a desaturated look that emphasized it's seriousness an realism. At times there would be some nicely saturated parts due to the it's need in emphasis on a subject or character like the woman although the saturation levels don't appear to shift too drastically.
Many symbols like the pyramid and the eye were used to give meaning to a group of characters. The pyramid and the eye was used to signify the dark. It was used for the reason that most people nowadays know that the Illuminati was a cult in Egypt that kept secrets from the church. The cult in the film that Blackwood was in had that symbol because they were holding secrets from the public. The Baphomet symbol was used in the same the same scene to further show darkness and the magnitude of mischief . Symbols don't alway have to be a signs like the cross or a buddha statue. Sherlock Holmes's hair is a symbol. It takes on many meanings to his personality. The reason why I think his hair isn't always combed back is because the costume designer wants his hair signifi a high level of intelligence, obsession with mystery and craziness. His hair in many ways give strong clues of what Sherlock Holmes is feeling.
Dialogue used was that of a modern/old English but with an English accent. That stood out when Sherlock Holmes was planning and evaluating a situation or person. He spoke with speed, confidence and certainty. This style of dialogue was used to show Sherlock Holmes's fast and accurate thinking process. Blackwood would spoke with content as if he had no worries. He was very condescending and belittling. The reason why this style of dialogue was used for Blackwood was to show his mischievous esents.
Music score was on point with the character's action. There was a stringed instrument at the beginning of the film that the English would use in classical music. It was a plucking sound that was the motif of the film. Film score usually designed to manipulate the emotions of an audience and this film did just that. This film would use more of it's major notes like C, G and A for its happy scenes. For the mischievous scenes, the music would use it's minor notes like F, F# and E Minor root notes and long strings. The fight scene uses an Irish song to give the audience the sense of cleverness, horsing around and good adult entertainment. The sound effects used in this film are deep, subby and swooshy. Without the sound effects the impacts made by the subjects would have not have the same emotional impact it is with the effects on. When a swing is thrown or a jab is blocked the "swooshes" and "thuds" give the action a nice exaggerated presents in audio.
Cirtien shots and lenses were used for the fight scene. If I am correct they used the 35mm before they begin throwing hands. Once the "thought sequence" begins the lens changes to a 50mm prime to get close with detail and without getting in the way of the action. The fight scene has a strong sense of depth. A short to medium focal length was use to draw our attention to the subjects and and blot out the background. Tight shots were used to give the characters a more threatening appearance. The closer the camera is to the subjects the more it may feel like you will get hit your self.

Softly and gently, the piano begins the Mogwai - Kin album, developing in its music into the pensive Eli's Theme symphony with a muffled, disturbing background a string of thoughts and conjectures, surrounding perception of a mysterious fog of obscure conjectures.
Alarms ingratiatingly come to the forefront of the Scrap composition, keyboard shortcuts compete for the dominant position in the sound, continuing the pensive symphony of a musical work.
But pulsing with a restless ghost in the twilight haze, trivog rises into consciousness with the sound of the Flee composition, seizing the mind with a disturbed throb and agitated shaking of musical lace.
Hiding on so shady backgraund, Funeral Pyre track's music insinuatingly and slowly develops in a mysterious haze of mysterious secrecy. But inspiration rises from non-existence, interlacing in a fascinating lace of Donuts reassuring symphony, inspiring thoughts about future changes for the better, proving that all is not lost and not all is lost.
Pensive Miscreants sonata soothes disturbed thoughts, enveloping in a veil of caring non-feeling and wrapping it around in soft, restrained melodies.
Hidden anxiety gleams in the Guns Down background, but motifs filled with encouraging expectations create a vague anticipation of the upcoming events.The title track of the album (which is the OST of the film of the same name) Kin continues the style of the previous songs, but develops them in a more grand and symphonic performance, twisting the mind around with a ghostly whirlwind of anticipation of future changes. We're Not Done (End Title) completes the album with a wave of bright drive and complements the instrumental suites with vocal phrases.

58-60 High Street, Rellew, Ansara & shop No. 62
Nos 58 and 60 were developed on the site of a yard, with the 1910 Revaluation Survey map showing two attached buildings sketched in by hand, which may or may not be the houses today (2020). These were named Rellew and Ansara after Sara Ann Weller (Rellew is this spelt backwards) and, since she was born in 1892, there is some logic in these being named after her before she was married, with the development having, perhaps been carried out by her father Thomas Weller in 1910 and named after her when she was 18 years old. In the garden of Rellew the old pump is preserved.
This would fit in with the description relating to this 1910 survey which shows that Frederick Stamp owned two cottages (occupied by others). Stamp also owned the shop, now 56 High Street, but appears to have created the current (2020) lean-to shop (now 62 High Street), as a small part of this can be seen in records 1126 and 1272.
According to the Kelly directory, Mr Stamp ran a variety of different businesses. In 1895 describes him as a shopkeeper; 1899 he was selling grocery and drapery; and in 1911 he was selling china and glass. These businesses were probably run from 56 High Street (although china and glass could have been run from the lean-to), but later on, perhaps by 1920 when he was selling shoes, it was definitely the lean-to.
Later, the lean-to shop was owned by the Samuel butchers family who, at some stage used it to store sacks of potatoes for their fish and chip off-shoot in Station Road adjacent to their 50 High Street butcher's shop. At other times, the shop was run by Mr Emm as a chemist; later Stevie or Stephen Putt, shoemaker; then Kathy Hawley Antiques (later, perhaps, run by someone else as 'Long Ago'). In 2008, the shop traded as 'Goochie', hair design. Then (2020) vacant. Now (2024) owned by Tarek, hairdresser of Station Road and converted to a one-chair hair salon.
Evan and Edith Bax's memories (Margaret Axford, 'Tales form the Village Folk') recall that the little shop was earlier owned by Evan Bax as an ice-cream parlour. The couple lived in the house next door when the house to its right was lived in (and owned?) by Mr Stamp.
(The hairdresser, first 'Linda and Avril', then 'New Image', was at 56 High Street.)

Dmitrii Ianul
Dmitrii Ianul
LAG "Cismeaua Sudului"
"The Ostrich Menagerie"
What would make a tourist who visits Gagauzia travel kilometers of bad road to get almost to the country's southernmost point? A mini-menagerie of ostriches, Dmitrii Ianul from Cismichioi thought. He even got funding from the European Union to make this idea come true. The project was carried out through the Local Action Group (LAG) Cismeaua Sudului – Cismeaua Sudului [the Southern Spring], Dmitrii is part of the LAG management, which consists of representatives of the local government, the business environment and of the civil society from the three-member villages: Etulia, Alexandru Ioan Cuza and Cismichioi. After many meetings and discussions, the key issues and priorities of the three communities were identified. Thus, for next five years they are to promote jointly local economic growth, tourist attractiveness and territorial cohesion in the region.
One of the projects which fall within the LAG's objectives is that of Dmitrii Ianul. Three years ago, the young man came back to his native village because he wanted to contribute to its development. But where did the idea of an ostrich business come from? "They are exotic and easy to take care of", the young man simply explained. When they analysed how they could tap into the touristic potential, they realised that they needed to provide a strong reason for someone to venture into their village despite the tough journey there. An exotic challenge seemed to be the winning argument. The ostriches were the first thing Dmitrii thought about.
Many years ago, he read that this idea could turn into a profitable business: it requires neither special facilities, nor special feed, ostriches grow fast, live long, hardly get sick and they are expensively sold – not only the meat and eggs, but feathers and skin, too – as they are regarded as luxurious products. Dmitrii received financial support for his contribution to the development of a touristic route in the area. The small ostrich menagerie was laid out in the garden of his parents' home. He removed the grapevine and trees away to give some space to the giant birds that need a lot of it – at least 40 meters – to run, to be in a good shape and to keep a good silhouette to the delight of the visitors. Dmitrii had never seen ostriches, and neither had he eaten ostrich meat and eggs until he bought the six female ostriches. His family and his neighbours still find it hard to believe that the ostrich chicks running around in the backyard are the biggest and fastest birds on Earth. In a year they will weigh over 100 kilograms and they will be taller than most of adult persons.
Dmitrii had more study visits through SARD. He saw how Romanian and Bulgarian LAGs work and the impact they had in community development. In Poland, he looked particularly into tourism development as a source of income. He was impressed with the way tourism assets can be developed even where it seems that there's nothing to see or do. He came back home with ideas that came true and that are on the LAG's touristic route to which his village belongs. A route rich in local adventures and experiences: it is in that region that the mammoth skeleton, which is now in the Museum of Ethnography of Chisinau, was discovered; an observatory tower was built at the outskirts of the village – the only place in Moldova from where you can see the Dobrogea Mountains from Romania; tourists are involved in a range of traditional activities, such as milking sheep and producing cheese at the sheepcote, harvesting and smashing grapes, gathering corn from the field and preparing mamaliga.
Dmitrii Ianul is sure that this kind of projects, are very necessary, especially in small and remote villages, where there are few jobs and development resources. 'Such projects may be the only chance to modernise villages, such as ours, to improve the business environment, infrastructure and all the other things', Dmitrii stated. He is convinced that although a year ago Cismichioi citizens were not so open-minded about EU-funded projects and were being skeptical about potential changes – now they look at it differently. They understood that such projects are there to help them have a better life at home, in their own region.

National Register of Historic Places in Washoe County
The Lake Mansion has been moved twice. It was built in 1877 at the corner of California Avenue and Virginia Street.
In 1971, when the building was threatened with demolition, it was moved three miles south to the corner of Virginia Street and Kietke Lane on the grounds of The Coliseum (now the Reno-Sparks Convention Center).
In 2004, it was moved again to its current location.
In 1860, C. W. Fuller of Susanville settled on the south bank of the Truckee River near the spot where the Virginia Street Bridge crosses the river today. Fuller built a bridge, an inn and a stretch of toll road leading away from the river in both directions.
In 1863, Fuller sold out to Myron C. Lake. Lake rebuilt the bridge which had been damaged by high water. Lake soon owned the present townsite of Reno and was prepared for the coming of the Central Pacific Railroad (CPRR). He deeded to the CPRR eighty acres in return for the location of a railroad station and the laying out of the townsite. He gave an acre of land for the county courthouse, its present location.
Lake built the first Lake House in 1870 as a hotel. It was the forerunner of the Riverside Hotel.
The Lake Mansion was built in 1877 by W. J. Marsh at the corner of Virginia Street and California Avenue. In 1879, Marsh sold the house to Lake. Lake died in 1884 and his widow lived in the house until 1889.
The building remained in the family for many decades after the death of Mrs. Lake.
Source: Adapted from the NRHP nomination form submitted in 1972.
The Lake Mansion is also Nevada Historical Landmark 227.

Consequences for the medtech industry
It has burst. The new agreement between Switzerland and the EU will not enter into force. After seven years of negotiations between representatives of the EU Commission and Switzerland, President Guy Parmelin declared the talks a failure yesterday. The reason, he said, was disagreement on crucial points of the negotiations, such as access to the EU's internal market and agreements on the free movement of persons. The modernisation of the agreement, which has been in place since 1972, has thus failed to materialise.
A failure that particularly affects the Swiss medtech sector shortly after the transition to the new MDR 2017/745. What does this mean for access to the EU internal market?
Due to the loss of privileged access, Switzerland will now be downgraded to the status of a third country. Manufacturers must therefore adapt when placing new medical devices on the European market.
The consequences are additional work due to increased requirements and having to go through the European approval process. In addition to the designation of a specific Notified Body, the preparation of corresponding technical documentation is also required.

Fearless – The Art of Creative Leadership with Charles Day
The City on the Couch
Psychoanalyst Mary Bradbury investigates why a growing number of big businesses in the financial sector are taking more care of their employees' mental health.
Contributors include Graham Thornicroft, Professor of Community Psychiatry at King's College London; Professor David Tuckett of University College London; Ian Gatt QC of Herbert Smith Freehills; and Sacha Romanovitch of Grant Thornton.
Analysis: Why New Leaders Disappoint
It's inadvisable to promote employees based solely on past performance. And when you do bump them up, you mustn't desert them at the helm.
In what way could the firing and hiring of Della, an animal shelter manager paid a fairly modest salary, hold important lessons for high-level corporate executives and their boards?
Issue: A Good Employee Turns Scratchy
An impressive employee diligently works her way up through the ranks only to give a subpar performance once she gets to the top.
Beth Waggoner watched in amazement as a promising employee she had promoted performed so poorly it put an entire organization in danger of sinking. An accountant who loves animals, Waggoner was serving (pro bono) as president of the board of directors for Paws Need Families, a no-kill nonprofit cat shelter outside Philadelphia.

Nottingham Forest legend Kenny Burns has blasted the decision to sack Martin O'Neill and replace him with Sabri Lamouchi.
The decision to fire Burns' fellow European Cup winner O'Neill and replace him with the former France international minutes later came as a shock on Friday.
While Burns says Lamouchi's appointment cannot be immediately written off, he questions the wisdom of appointing a man who has never coached in England.
Burns drew immediate comparisons with Philippe Montanier, Forest's last French coach, who, like Lamouchi was previously at Rennes before coming to Nottingham.
"This feels like another Montanier appointment and we know how that worked out," he said.
"You have to give this new guy a chance but I'd have liked to have seen Forest go for someone like Garry Monk or Nigel Pearson.
"If the players didn't like Martin then tough. You're paid to play for Nottingham Forest.
"These players need to get their heads down. Garry Monk and Nigel Pearson could have gone in there and sorted them out.
"Lamouchi has never coached in England before. His track record is okay, but not amazing. I'd like to see more about his style of play and everything, but this does not sit well at the moment."
Burns suspects O'Neill has probably had his last job as a manager after being sacked after less than six months at the City Ground.
While he believes the former Northern Ireland international will have been stunned at the timing of his removal just one day before the first pre-season friendly, he feels O'Neill will have accepted his fate with dignity.
"Martin was trying to move this club on. He had a year left on his contract and will have expected the chance to win promotion," Burns said.

"He's a noble man and will have taken the news professionally. I believe he'd just moved to a new place here.
"I don't like it and the players need to have a good look at themselves.
"You can't say for sure, but this feels like the end for Martin as a manager. Where else would he go?
"He's managed internationally and done well in the Premier League with Aston Villa and Leicester.
"He dropped into the Championship because it was Forest and because of his affinity with the club. I can't see him managing again."

Are you a beginner at growing plants, having recently taken the hobby? Or are you just a worried plant parent looking for some answers for why is my succulent dying? If so, then read on.
Many people pick succulents over other plants because they are known for being easy plants to grow and take care of. But many forget that they still do require care to grow and thrive while remaining healthy.
The perplexities of growing plants carry on to succulents as well. A grower should always remember that while caring for and growing succulents.
If seeing your precious succulent has you searching why is my succulent dying? then you are at the right place cause we'll be giving you the reasons why is my succulent dying? and the ways to prevent it.
Why Is My Succulent Dying?
Here are some of the factors that can result in your precious succulent's death.
Ensuring that your succulent is receiving the required amount of sunlight every day is a vital component of caring for it. Succulents can survive in the dark for around 10-14 days but keeping them away from the sun for such long periods can be very unhealthy.
A succulent that is sun-starved will start looking stretched out and tall while it will try reaching towards the nearest light source which will give it a crooked appearance.
A succulent will also get negatively affected by too much sunlight. Succulents' stems, leaves, and roots are full of water, and too much sun can burn them quite easily. The leaves thin out and discolor, not letting the plant grow properly.
This can prove to be more fatal for your succulent than you could've imagined. Overwatering can cause root rot which is just as deadly as it sounds.
It can cause the leaves to start falling off and can even end in complete loss of the plant. The symptoms for this are mushy and soggy roots and regular leaf loss.
Just like overwatering, underwatering is also dangerous for your plants that can cause stunted growth and dehydration resulting in the plant dying.
Have you fallen to the cute trend of growing succulents and plants in little teacups to put on your nightstand or coffee table, just like thousands of others all over Instagram?
Well, then this might be the exact reason why you're losing your succulent. Such small pots don't give the succulents enough space to develop roots and grow.
Just like you, your succulent is also very sensitive to extreme temperatures, which is a very natural survival instinct. Too high temperatures will burn the plant making it look wilted while it will also start losing leaves.
Freezing temperatures, however, are the most lethal for succulents as the cells in the plant start freezing and so most processes occurring within the plant cease, and slowly the whole plant freezes, eventually ending in its death.
A succulent needs all the important nutrients to stay healthy. These nutrients are nitrogen, phosphorous, and potassium, and a lack of these can be dangerous for the plant.
If none of these seems to be the reason for the suffering of your succulent then it might just be because of some critters that are leeching off your succulent. These can be fungus gnats, spider mites, mealybugs, etc.
Preventions And Solutions For A Dying Succulent
Here is how you can prevent or revive your plant if it's showing any of the symptoms described above.
Light Care
Ensuring that your succulent receives around 6 hours of sunlight is the key to keeping it healthy. But newly planted succulents can scorch under direct sunlight so keeping them near a window with a sheer curtain is the best route to take.
If your plant is already suffering from low light exposure then change its location and slowly acclimate it to the sun by taking it out for small intervals of time and increasing the time little by little, daily.
To treat a sunburnt succulent place it in a shadowy area for 3 to 7 days and keep watering it, ensuring that the soil is never dry for too long. The white marks will start to fade away over time but the brown marks will have to be grown out.
Watering Routine
You should only water the plant when the soil turns dry to the touch. Using a watering can with a longer and thinner spout can help in watering the plant more precisely.
If your plant is showing the symptoms of being underwatered, immerse the soil in water for 10 minutes to moisten up fully and then drain it. To treat an overwatered plant, make sure that you don't water it more than once a week and empty the saucer and tray regularly.
Using the right planter can be very important for your succulent, a planter that gives it enough space to grow and develop its roots.
The planter should have holes at the bottom so that the soil can drain out any excess water. Opting for a planter that keeps your succulents healthy is more important than cuter ones that are harmful to them.
Ideal Temperature
The ideal temperature for succulents to grow in is around 40-80°F. If your plant has been in too high temperatures then place it in cooler areas or throw a shade over it. However, the damage done by freezing temperatures is irreparable and the chances of recovery are little to none.
Providing your succulent the needed nutrients is the responsibility of every grower. Fertilizers that are high on nitrogen are most recommended.
Spray plant food is a highly convenient option for all the growers on a tight routine. Epsom salt is also recommended as it fulfills functions of magnesium and sulfur and also helps absorb nitrogen, phosphorous, and potassium.
Using pesticides to rid of any pests and critters on your succulent is very important. Use sticky bug traps or dynatraps to prevent any pests to infest your plant.
Keeping the succulents alive, healthy and beautiful is the main goal of all growers. By taking these preventive steps or solving the problems according to your succulents' symptoms, you can easily keep it from dying and yourself from wondering 'why is my succulent dying?' ever again.

Never underestimate the importance of appearance. The way someone dresses, speaks, and their demeanor, in general, all give other people an immediate impression about them. Now, consider how difficult that circumstance can be for people who are born and raised, or who simply live in low-income towns, cities, or neighborhoods. Due to financial struggles, it can be difficult to put together an outfit for special occasions, and this can be an emotional, infuriating experience.
A clean and neat professional appearance is crucial to making a good first impression. This requires the outfit to look as if it is brand-new (even if it is not), tucked, and matching with the rest of the outfit/accessories or atmosphere of the desired job.
One organization stresses the importance of dressing professionally and displaying confidence. Trenton 365, which offers services to help job seekers in the community, was founded by Jacque Howard. It's a community-building program that advocates for private citizens. Howard believes the program is made for "ordinary people doing extraordinary things."
Anyone can be successful with a little bit of help contends Howard. "We take a no blame, unbiased, non-partisan approach to promoting civic engagement and to build a better community," said Howard.
Howard did acknowledge the significance of having guidance to understand how to become successful, but he also stressed the importance of looking successful. "I firmly believe that a person's appearance is critical for a number of reasons including first impressions and fitting the tasks at hand," added Howard. "Besides being practical, clothing is also a way of expressing and showcasing the art and craft of fashion." Understanding the significance and impact of appearance can help bolster a head-start for employment.
Trenton 365 helps navigate community members through the process of dressing strategically to establish the perfect look and to gain some confidence for that nerve-racking job interview, meeting or other special event.

Latest award part of a decade-long £1bn transformation programme at UK's third busiest airport
Galliford Try has won a £54m contract as part of the second phase in the largest infrastructure project in Manchester Airport's 80-year history.
The decade-long £1bn Manchester Airport Transformation Programme will double the size of terminal two, which currently measures 52,000m2, and reconfigure its airfield to unlock growth potential for its two runways.
Galliford Try, which has been a capital delivery framework contractor to Manchester Airports Group since 2013, was appointed to the first phase of the scheme last August after winning a £38m deal to extend the airfield's west apron, which includes the construction of new taxiways and aircraft stands around piers and terminal buildings.
The new £54m second phase will increase aircraft stand capacity and other aircraft parking to cope with increasing traffic in an attempt to maximise both runways by upgrading the existing taxiway system and improving departure performance capability.
This will see the contractor install more than 79,000m3 of concrete for new taxiways and aircraft stands while relocating the existing airfield and dualling a mile-long, 400,000m2 stretch of taxiway.
More than six miles of new ducting and lighting will also be installed, with the existing security boundary relocated to accommodate the changes.
Planning for the new work will begin immediately and will be completed in 2019.
Manchester Airport, which covers 560 hectares, was the UK's third busiest airport last year behind Heathrow and Gatwick, serving almost 26 million passengers - up 10.8% from a year earlier. It is the only airport in the UK other than Heathrow to operate two runways over 3,000m in length.

It's been nearly impossible to avoid the topic of the earthquake and devistation in Haiti with my three little ones. I've always been reluctant to share scary, tragic news with my children because they are so very young; I haven't wanted to fill their brains with nightmare material if I could avoid it. It's hard enough for adults to fathom.
But because we read the newspaper daily, the images of suffering on the front pages of the paper for the last week have been difficult to hide. The photos are heartbreaking for anyone to see, let alone a 6, 4, and 2-year-old who might not understand the events.
So I was thankful yesterday when I came across a link on Valerie Strauss's The Answer Sheet in The Post. She linked back to PBS Parents, a site I love for information on just about anything.
Here's the skinny on what I learned , thanks to PBS Parents. . .
- Talking with Kids About News, Age by Age:
Babies and Toddlers (0-2)— According to the site, "babies and toddlers should not be exposed to disturbing news." And because of the fear little ones feel from loud noises, gun shots, and scenes sometimes found on the news, they suggest that parents "don't subject them to news on tv." Okay. Easy enough.
Preschoolers (3-5)— Children this age often mix up reality and fantasy and think that what's happening on tv could be happening right there in their house. Parents should "shield preschoolers from news coverage of violent events whenever possible" and "avoid repeated viewings of the same event." Makes total sense.They say that "it is not necessary to discuss violent events on the news, unless you know your child has been exposed to them." News "connected your preschooler's life" is worth spending time talking about, though, like election news, weather, or something directly related to their day-to-day. Yes. Agree, agree, agree.
Asking preschoolers, "What do you know about that?" when they ask about an event and then clearing up misconceptions is the best idea. Diane Levine, PhD, suggests that parents don't "over explain in ways that are not age-appropriate" but that they "clear up the confusion."
Parents should explain that children are safe and do a lot of snuggling, loving, and listening to their children. Especially if these guys have had a hint of scary news, they'll need some extra love.
School Age (6-8): This is a time for "limited media exposure and good follow-up discussions" because although children this age are beginning to understand that the world doesn't revolve only around them, they still have a hard time understanding the space between the world and themselves.
It is recommended that school aged childrenn listen to the news rather than watch it and that parents should discuss important news with school aged children.
Do this by asking what he already knows about the event:
–Have people talked about the earthquake in Haiti?
-What have you heard about an earthquake in Haiti from your friends or teachers at school?
–What questions do you have about it?And if he says he hasn't heard anything, then say that you are always available to talk about it if he'd like or "describe the event in an age-appropriate way, depending on the circumstances."
Like with younger children, parents are advised to assure children they are safe and not to over-correct or over-explain. They are then encouraged to follow the news and learn more about the topic if possible.
Older Kids (9-11)— This age group is still "me-focused" but is able to think more logically about the news and world events. Although they are better suited to handle difficult news stories, they still get confused and need careful, age-appropriate, clarification from parents. (See more relevant information on PBS's site.)
So what have we done, other than talked to Maddy about the earthquake and events in Haiti? We donated.
Here are a few of the many, many ways you can help if you are able:
- Donate to Unicef or The Red Cross
- Donate to The Goods–products to be sent to Haiti
- Check out White House Haiti Earthquake Relief
- Check out The Huffington Post's HUGE list of Haiti Earthquake Relief sites

Christian Missions and Humanitarianism in The Middle East, 1850-1950 - Ideologies, Rhetoric, and Practices
This anthology contributes to a historically grounded understanding of the complex relationship between Christian missions and the roots of humanitarianism and its contemporary uses in a Middle Eastern context.
- Author
- Editors: Inger Marie Okkenhaug and Karène Sanchez Summerer
- Date
- 07 September 2020
- Links
Contributions focus on ideologies, rhetoric, and practices of missionaries and their apostolates towards humanitarianism, from the mid-19th century Middle East crises, examining different missionaries, their society's worldview and their networks in various areas of the Middle East. In the early 20th century Christian missions increasingly paid more attention to organisation and bureaucratisation ('rationalisation'), and media became more important to their work. The volume analyses how non-missionaries took over, to a certain extent, the aims and organisations of the missionaries as to humanitarianism. It seeks to discover and retrace such 'entangled histories' for the first time in an integral perspective.
Contributors include: Beth Baron, Philippe Bourmaud, Seija Jalagin, Nazan Maksudyan, Michael Marten, Heleen (L.) Murre-van den Berg, Inger Marie Okkenhaug, Idir Ouahes, Maria Chiara Rioli, Karène Sanchez Summerer, Bertrand Taithe, and Chantal Verdeil.
