The Ventura County Star has won six California News Publisher Association awards, including for coverage of the Thomas Fire.
Coverage of the Thomas Fire and an in-depth look at law enforcement in Ventura County were among Ventura County Star stories to receive California News Publishers Association awards.
The Star received six awards in its class, including first and second place for enterprise news story or series and second place for public service journalism. An additional four entries were finalists in their categories.
"Night on patrol in Ventura County: From heroin to headlights," an in-the-moment look at law enforcement agencies in Ventura County, captured first place in the enterprise news story or series category. For the story, nine Star journalists spent an evening with police and deputies across the county to document one night on patrol.
The Star's coverage of the Thomas Fire, the largest wildfire in modern California history, received a second-place award for public service journalism. In addition to breaking news of the fire, Star coverage included emergency communication challenges, the fire's impact on mental health services and farmworkers, and stories of people who lost everything.
Reporter Tom Kisken and photographer Anthony Plascencia received a second-place award in the enterprise news category for their piece on opioid use, "Ventura County's opioid fix: 'I crave it all the time." Kisken and Plascencia spent a week documenting the impact of opioids on Ventura County.
Third place award winners in their division were photographer Chuck Kirman for a photograph of a firefighter during the Thomas Fire; reporter Arlene Martinez in the business news category for a piece on retiree health costs at public agencies; and reporter Cheri Carlson, photographer Anthony Plascencia, digital producer Yazmin Cruz and former reporter Amanda Covarrubias in the youth and education category for their piece on students and truancy.

about this book: "The Bridge" is a strange but compelling blend of horror, a paranormal mystery, with a sci-fi twist. In it, I introduce both my characters and the audience to a whole new vision of Parallel Earths unlike anything anyone has created before.
In this novel I have police, psychics, and ghosts, collide with a being that is and is not of our world. But the question I wish to answer here is simply, where did I get the idea for it? What is the basis behind this novel?
For years I've dreamed vividly and certain ones always struck me as odd. In particular the ones where I meet people and am living a life very different from teh one I actually have. But what really intrigued me was the fact that while in the dream, I had a complete set of memories of the people met, even though they did not exist in the waking world. So where I the memories come from?
After much thought and speculation I came up with the idea that if parallel realities did exist, maybe when I was sleeping I somehow managed to get inside the head of one of my counterparts and saw how my life went with the choices HE made. This intrigued me and I thought about writing a story on this concept, but it wasn't right for me at that moment. I wanted to make something bigger, more unusual. And in this book I think I managed to do just that.
Most parallel reality stories involve a person making a different choice, or an event in human history changing the course of the present. And without giving away too much, I'll simply say that I chose to go back a bit further in history to create this novel and its sequels which I have named, "The Para-Earth Series".
I hope you enjoy this book as much as I did writing it. Thank you.

Our finance minister this week unveiled the new procurement board, and in my view, if the new board stays true to the principles of good governance than I am pretty sure our public procurement system is in for a smooth sailing. Over the years the scramble for tenders in the country has escalated, and only those close to power benefited handsomely. Although the tendering system was designed to procure goods and services for the State at the cheapest rates without compromising on quality, the entire system was turned into a cashcow by greedy individuals who were interested in filling their tummies in the shortest time possible. Nepotism and cronyism are some of the elements that were eating the system from within, so much that businesspeople who were not well-connected stopped tendering because they knew they stood no chance. The Tenderboard was headed by permanent secretaries, the very same people who are supposed to rein in public spending, therefore it baffles me as to how these very trusted individuals could allow the system to denigrate into such a disparaging state. You would hear how tenderpreneurs charged prices five times the original price of the goods when it is government procuring, but when a private firm seeks to procure the very same good the price is much lower. It seems those tasked to take care of the State resources have little regard for it simply because there is no sense of ownership. After all, what do you expect if the board memebers that are responsible to dish out tenders have proxies lurking around the corner?
In his 2011 column titled “Seven Reasons Competitive Tendering Fails (And What You Can Do About It)”, independent Researcher Murray Stanley outlined the disadvantages of tendering which I feel the new procurement board members should acquaint themselves with. The article recommended that competitive tendering be abolished. Where possible; long term, mutually beneficial relationships should be developed with trusted and reputable suppliers. Selection of these suppliers should be based on thorough research. Once selected, these suppliers should be paid a fair profit margin for the quality product or service they provide.
In some countries government procurement guidelines only allow suppliers who actually tender to be considered for a procurement decision. If the leading supplier or suppliers do not tender, the purchaser can only consider bids from suppliers who do tender. If leading suppliers are not considered, the purchaser may end up buying inferior product or service.
When making significant purchases, frank and open communication between potential supplier and customer is crucial. Competitive tendering is not conducive to open communication; in fact, it often discourages deep dialogue because in many cases all discussions between a bidder and the purchaser must be made available to all other bidders. Hence, Bidder A may avoid asking certain questions because the questions or answers may help other bidders by revealing Bidder A’s approaches, features, and the like.
Disadvantage #4: Use of cheaper, poor quality materials and/or labor.
Contractors may cut corners and creating safety risks in the process. As a result the buyer was urged by the union to put in checks and balances in the tendering process. Such checks and balances a) miss Deming’s points about the flaws in competitive tendering, b) create financial costs, time delays, and c) make it more likely for disagreements about terms to occur, perhaps leading to litigation.
Competitive tendering can force a supplier to accept a very slim profit margin. These low margins can result in a supplier having little or no money to spend on research and development, new technology and equipment. The result – society gets a lower price tag today, but society loses out tomorrow and well into the future. In conclusion, it is my hope that the reforms to our public purchasing processes will save the country millions if not billions which will then be diverted to poverty eradication programmes, but we should remain cognizant of the fact that the only way Namibia’s public procurement system can thrive is through good governance.

Below is a letter in response to the recent decisions made by the Israeli government written by the Rehovot and Minneapolis Partnership2Gether steering committee members. This letter will also be published in the Rehovot newspaper.
We, the undersigned, Israeli citizens from Rehovot and members of the Jewish community in Minneapolis (Minnesota), voluntarily serve as members on the steering committee of Partnership2Gether within the framework of the Jewish Agency.
Our partnership – along with its 46 members of this global network of communities – connect Jewish communities in Israel and around the world, with an emphasis on deepening our Jewish identity and Jewish Peoplehood awareness, community building, and leadership development. We run a variety of programs for children and youth, college students, educators, and social entrepreneurs. Our activities are funded by the Jewish community in Minneapolis, the Jewish Agency, and the Rehovot Municipality.
For us, the citizens of Rehovot, our personal acquaintance with our friends in Minneapolis revealed the rich diversity of the Diaspora Jewry, in which Jews from different streams manage to maintain a cohesive community, to address issues, to respect each other and at the same time strengthen the common values, culture, and awareness.
This exposure enriched both our own world as well our Jewish identity and deepened our commitment to fight for Jewish pluralism in the State of Israel. We are dismayed and concerned with how the persistence of one particular interpretation of Judaism in the Jewish state achieves the exact opposite of what is intended, and even contradicts the Declaration of Independence. It distances many Israelis from the Jewish component of their identity rather than uniting.
For us the Jews of Minneapolis, who see firsthand (as a result of our partnership with Rehovot) the challenges in the Israeli society, the June 25th government decisions are yet another slap in the face with the ongoing saga of non-recognition and humiliation towards us, in the Diaspora. We are shocked that the Israeli government has chosen to cancel a historic agreement that was reached with great effort amongst representatives of the various Jewish streams: to establish a dignified area at the Western Wall to be run by the government and the liberal streams. We are equally appalled with the Conversion Law, which reinstates the monopoly of conversion to the Chief Rabbinate and affects thousands of Jews who have been converted in recent years placing them into alternative tracks that the Israeli establishment does not recognize.
The decisions of the Israeli government are equivalent to turning a blind eye to the strategic challenge of connecting Diaspora youth to the Jewish people and the State of Israel. These government decisions directly affect the ability of the young to view Israel as their home. Needless to say, government decisions also undermine the efforts to recruit and train Jewish students to protect Israel from BDS supporters on campuses.
The media frequently indicated the potentially damaging effect on the level of support from the Diaspora Jews through their donations, however, in our opinion, this is not the main thing. The unfortunate government decisions on June 25th directly affect our common future as a nation, the security and economic interests of the State of Israel, and the original purpose of the State for the Jewish Nation.
We stand a few days before the seventeenth of Tammuz, and it is our duty to remind you that because of hatred, the Temple was destroyed twice. We stand before you, Mr. Benjamin Netanyahu and every member of the government, demanding that you recognize the seriousness of this matter and act decisively to cancel the government’s June 25th decisions.
To celebrate Shabbat during 100 Days // 100 Ways, we asked fifth graders at Bet Shalom and their “twin” classroom at the Hadarim school, in our sister-city of Rehovot, Israel to draw us images of Shabbat.
Below view a gallery of images from the Bet Shalom students. Stay tuned for more images, this time from Rehovot!
Minneapolis Jewish Federation is paired with the city of Rehovot, Israel as part of the Parntership2Gether program through the Jewish Agency for Israel. This partnership is in its second full year and has recently begun implementing exciting programming in both the Minneapolis and Rehovot Jewish communities.
One program of the Minneapolis/Rehovot P2G is a school classroom “twinning.” Twinning programs promote the sense of Jewish Peoplehood and shared responsibility. Students have the chance to meet each other and have dynamic conversations around issues such as Jewish identity and social responsibility.
You’ll see these and more on our Facebook page every Friday. Be sure to check out the rest of our 100 Days events and posts on Twitter as well as on our website.
Thanks to technology, we are able to bring two synagogues, with a deep love of learning, together.
Beginning November 17, Congregation Darchei Noam in St. Louis Park will begin simultaneous study sessions with synagogue The Berman Shul in Rehovot, Israel.
The six classes will be held on Tuesday evenings, the Minneapolis group meets at Darchei Noam at 7PM and on Sundays at 11AM. The following Sunday the groups will gather via Skype in Minnesota and Israel to discuss what they learned and share insights.
These classes are free and open to the community. The schedule is below, and we hope to see you there!
The #Momentummn delegation of the#MOMentumtrips of women visited Rehovot on Tuesday, October 27th as a part of our Partnership2Gether program through the municipality of Rehovot, the Jewish Agency and the Minneapolis Jewish Federation.
The visit was hosted and sponsored by Rehovot’s Deputy Mayor, Zohar Blum, and David Ashkenazi, Rehovot’s Chief of Staff and Head of Foreign Relations Department.
The group spent the day touring the city (Weisman Institute and the Ayalon Institute), visiting kindergartens and early childhood care facilities in Kiryat Moshe as well as a little bit of shopping.
The highlight of the visit was dinner at the Minkov Citrus Orchard Museum along with Rehovot members of the partnership’s Steering Committee which is Co-Chaired by Dr. Yoram Blachar.
The meeting between members of the Steering Committee and the women from the Minneapolis community was successful, exciting and left a taste and desire for further development of the relationship.
Fun fact: Melanie Ginsburg, a MASA Israel student from Minneapolis on a Teachers Fellows program in Rehovot, spoke with the group while they were there about how Federation supports Masa (which is also a Jewish Agency for Israel program), and about what she is doing in Rehovot.
Dozens of members of the Minneapolis Jewish community are scheduled to visit Rehovot in the upcoming months to continue establishing relationships and friendships with the residents of Rehovot.
We helped to build Israel. Today we help keep it strong.
For more than six decades, we’ve helped strengthen the State of the Israel. And our commitment continues. Unwavering.
Federation is dedicated to ensuring that all of Israel’s citizens have equal access to educational and economic opportunity. And we work tirelessly to deepen connections between the Jewish State and the global Jewish community.
Despite Israel’s economic success, one in five Israeli families lives in poverty. We provide a safety net for the most vulnerable, and we advocate for those in distress.
When Israel is threatened, we mobilize our networks at home and overseas to come immediately to her aid.
That global connection is fostered by immersive experiences for young Jews and programming that brings Israel to life in communities throughout North America.
Federation has helped millions of immigrants move to Israel and start new lives—26,000 in the past year alone.
Thousands of elderly benefit from innovative services they receive right in their homes. Thousands of poor families know their children will have a brighter future thanks to our Federation-supported programs. Job training programs tackle high unemployment among the one million Israelis with disabilities.
The money we raise during times of crisis helps keeps Israelis safe during conflicts and funds post-trauma counseling for tens of thousands living on the front lines.
And we’ve helped hundreds of thousands of young Jews forge a personal connection to Israel through programs like Taglit-Birthright Israel, and built strong relationships between communities in Israel and North America through Partnership2Gether— including our partner city, Rehovot.
We stand by Israel’s side. Always.
While you can’t prevent further escalation in the violence in Israel, you can deliver swift assistance to the victims through the Jewish Agency for Israel’s Fund for Victims of Terror.
Because of your gift, victims of the horrifying terrorist attacks happening throughout Israel will receive assistance quickly—often within 24 hours—so they can start the process of healing.

The cities of Carrabelle and Apalachicola want direct oversight of a portion of the expected RESTORE Act funds headed for Franklin County but the county commissioners don�t see it that way.
The county has been promised as much as $66 million, a portion of the fines levied against BP for environmental and economic damage caused by the Deepwater Horizon oil spill.
None of the money has arrived and there is no concrete indication on when the first checks will be cut, if eve. But organizations and individuals across the county are scrambling to identify projects to spend it, and the county commissioners have proposed a 14-member advisory council that would recommend projects over which the county commissioners would have final say.
The county must hold a public workshop to discuss the ordinance to create the RESTORE council before it can be enacted into law. But already, the county is soliciting citizens to serve on the proposed council.
Pam Shiver, the newly elected school board member set to be sworn in Tuesday, was appointed the school�s representative to the RESTORE committee at the Nov. 8 meeting.
The cities, though, see things differently, and have invited the county to a Monday meeting to start a legal process to resolve the conflict. The county, based on the opinion of its attorney Michael Shuler, has opted not to become involved in the cities� plan.
In September, Apalachicola proposed distributing RESTORE funds between the cities and unincorporated areas of the county.
When the county failed to respond to the proposal, Apalachicola City Attorney Pat Floyd wrote to the county in October asking to enter into negotiations based on Chapter 164 of the Florida Statutes, which provides for creating a governmental conflict resolution procedure to provide an �equitable, expeditious, effective, and inexpensive method� to avoid courtroom squabbles between government entities.
Shuler replied with a letter stating that no conflict existed between the cities and county because the distribution of RESTORE funds is mandated by federal law.
The problem of who will allocate RESTORE funds within the counties is the subject of an ongoing debate. At the Oct. 16 county meeting, Commissioner Smokey Parrish, who acted as county liaison in matters related to the oil spill, said he would no longer represent the county in that capacity, after the commission voted 3-2 not to join the Gulf Consortium, a board proposed by the Florida Association of Counties (FAC) to vet and approve local projects funded by BP fines. Any future involvement by the county in the consortium could impact the decision-making powers of a local council.
At the same meeting, commissioners voted to form the local council that would vet projects within the county but, under this plan, the county commission has the ultimate say in who receives funding.
The RESTORE Act does not outline a process for what happens after money reaches Florida�s affected counties, but the FAC has suggested the creation of these RESTORE councils to decide where to spend the local funds, a suggestion echoed by Rep. Steve Southerland during a recent private meeting with some local officials.
FAC spokeswoman Cragin Mosteller said although counties are not required to form RESTORE committees, the FAC has recommended it to invoke transparency in the process.
At their Nov. 1 meeting, Carrabelle commissioners voted unanimously to join Apalachicola in seeking talks with Franklin County over distribution of RESTORE Act funds.
Both Apalachicola and Carrabelle have expressed displeasure with the county�s unwillingness to discuss the RESTORE Act.
He said he believed the cities and the county have equal standing before the state as local entities eligible to receive RESTORE funds as �coastal political subdivisions,� a term used in the RESTORE Act.
Floyd and Carrabelle City Attorney Dan Hartman agree. Hartman said the Florida League of Cities also maintains that municipalities are on equal footing with counties under RESTORE. Hartman wants the county to open a dialogue with the cities on the RESTORE Act Council proposed at the county�s Oct.16 meeting.
At the Nov. 1 meeting, Carrabelle commissioner Brenda La Paz questioned whether demanding a dialogue would exclude the cities from participation in the proposed county RESTORE council. She asked if it would be possible to negotiate without going to court.
Hartman told her Carrabelle could not be excluded from participation in the council and that statute 164 is designed to keep government disputes out of court. In a later interview, he said the cities could consider suing the county to force them to the table.
Hartman said the case would be tried in the circuit court and the county could only avoid a court appearance by defaulting.

The cities of Carrabelle and Apalachicola want direct oversight of a portion of the expected RESTORE Act funds headed for Franklin County but the county commissioners don � t see it that way .
 The county has been promised as much as $ 66 million , a portion of the fines levied against BP for environmental and economic damage caused by the Deepwater Horizon oil spill .
 None of the money has arrived and there is no concrete indication on when the first checks will be cut , if eve . But organizations and individuals across the county are scrambling to identify projects to spend it , and the county commissioners have proposed a 14 - member advisory council that would recommend projects over which the county commissioners would have final say .
 The county must hold a public workshop to discuss the ordinance to create the RESTORE council before it can be enacted into law . But already , the county is soliciting citizens to serve on the proposed council .
 Pam Shiver , the newly elected school board member set to be sworn in Tuesday , was appointed the school � s representative to the RESTORE committee at the Nov. 8 meeting .
 The cities , though , see things differently , and have invited the county to a Monday meeting to start a legal process to resolve the conflict . The county , based on the opinion of its attorney Michael Shuler , has opted not to become involved in the cities � plan .
 In September , Apalachicola proposed distributing RESTORE funds between the cities and unincorporated areas of the county .
 When the county failed to respond to the proposal , Apalachicola City Attorney Pat Floyd wrote to the county in October asking to enter into negotiations based on Chapter 164 of the Florida Statutes , which provides for creating a governmental conflict resolution procedure to provide an � equitable , expeditious , effective , and inexpensive method � to avoid courtroom squabbles between government entities .
 Shuler replied with a letter stating that no conflict existed between the cities and county because the distribution of RESTORE funds is mandated by federal law .
 The problem of who will allocate RESTORE funds within the counties is the subject of an ongoing debate . At the Oct. 16 county meeting , Commissioner Smokey Parrish , who acted as county liaison in matters related to the oil spill , said he would no longer represent the county in that capacity , after the commission voted 3 - 2 not to join the Gulf Consortium , a board proposed by the Florida Association of Counties ( FAC ) to vet and approve local projects funded by BP fines . Any future involvement by the county in the consortium could impact the decision - making powers of a local council .
 At the same meeting , commissioners voted to form the local council that would vet projects within the county but , under this plan , the county commission has the ultimate say in who receives funding .
 The RESTORE Act does not outline a process for what happens after money reaches Florida � s affected counties , but the FAC has suggested the creation of these RESTORE councils to decide where to spend the local funds , a suggestion echoed by Rep. Steve Southerland during a recent private meeting with some local officials .

If you use the StaticID in your XML file, then when you need to import the new string you would find the shape with the StaticID and change the text to the new string. It should work just fine.

The stage-managed signing of the Trans Pacific Partnership Agreement at a casino in Auckland today highlights the divisions National’s handling of the deal has caused in New Zealand, Opposition Leader Andrew Little says.
“The Government’s whole management of the agreement has been botched, from the total secrecy to ramming it down people’s throats.
“This has caused a deep divide, and inviting international leaders to sign it just two days before Waitangi – our national day – has added salt to that wound.
“Labour is a pro-free trade party but the TPP goes further than other agreements in undermining our democracy. We shouldn’t need a permission slip from foreign corporations to pass our own laws. That’s why Labour cannot support the agreement in its current form.
“Other countries such as Australia and Malaysia are able to ban foreigners from buying their homes. New Zealand cannot under this deal. That’s just not right.
“Open and transparent debate is crucial to a healthy democracy but the TPP process and John Key’s handling of the deal after it was signed has damaged that.
“Today’s protests are a public sign of the deep discomfort many New Zealanders feel about what is happening in this country. The Government must now seek ways to heal that wound,” Andrew Little says.
First the changing of the flag now this? We have many issues in our country that’s getting more problematic as the day goes by. We do not need to add another worry to our country without fixing the ones we have now.

Architect, born at Jakobswalde in Silesia in 1802; died at Cologne in 1861. He studied at Breslau and Berlin, and worked at the latter place under Schinkel. From 1833 he was the architect of the cathedral at Cologne. At Cologne he was next to Statz the most important practical representative of Gothic architecture. From the time it was recognized that the completion of the great cathedral at Cologne was the task which would bring the highest honour to the Gothic style, Schinkel's school was drawn on for men to carry out the work, first Ahlert, and after his death, Zwirner being called to Cologne. Before long more confidence was placed in Zwirner than had been given to his predecessor, because he showed a more perceptive grasp of the work of the old masters. After the work of restoration was finished, he presented his plans for the completion of the structure in 1841 to King Frederick William IV; upon the approval of the plans the work began the next year. However, neither Zwirner, nor his able successor Voigtel, who completed the work, succeeded in uniting the charm of free play of imagination with technical correctness and architectural sequence. There is no doubt that Zwirner was one of the finest judges of the medieval style. What he had learned from his work on the cathedral of Cologne he used in designs of his own with the same fine skill and energy. His best building is probably the church of St. Apollinaris at Remagen, to which, however, the same objection of monotony of plan has been made. He also built a church at Mulheim on the Rhine, and one at Elberfeld. He restored the castle of Argenfels on the Rhine, built the castle of Herdringen in the style of the ancient fortress castles on the Rhine for Count von Fürstenberg, and also the castle of Moyland near Cleves. His last work was the synagogue at Cologne.

Fiction by Brenda Lozano translated from the Spanish by Alice Whitmore.
There are thirty-three mosquito bites on his legs. He scratches each welt, one by one, before his bath. The largest is on his left heel. He and Lola had planned to visit their friends in the country together, but they broke up the day before New Year’s Eve. He decided instead to go up on his own anyway, the long weekend before work went back, just as he’d planned with Lola, just as they’d planned together. His friend is preparing coffee, and he notices that he has no bites. His other friend comes into the kitchen, she has no bites either. He asks if they have something for the itch, some kind of ointment, mosquito repellent, a spray to kill them all in the night. We don’t have anything like that, his friend says. They’ve lived in the country for years, the mosquitos have grown accustomed to them, he thinks, or they’ve grown accustomed to the mosquitos. In any case, it’s been a while since they bought anything like mosquito repellent or insecticide. I’ve been devoured by mosquitos, he tells his friend, showing her the swollen red marks on his forearms.
At breakfast, Juliana and Manuel tell him about the vegetable patch they’d only just begun planning last time he visited. Lola had been with him: he does some counting, it was around his birthday, four years ago. He remembers now, suddenly he remembers it as if Lola were there with him, as if nothing had happened and Manuel were again sketching out on a napkin his plans for the vegetable patch they were now about to admire. He observes the rosemary, the basil, the coriander, the tomatoes, the lettuce. Robust, fresh, crunchy, like young lovers, he think, still unaware of heartbreak, of that troubled weather of thunder and storms and cold gusts of rain. That word, heartbreak: for them, perhaps, it is like a sphere filled with water and blue oil and a cute little floating ship that when you shake it seems to teeter on the surface with no real danger of sinking. The thought of having to start again is overwhelming, he’s decided not to reckon with it just yet. Real, happy lettuces, he thinks. He crouches down, rubs the basil leaves: their delicious perfume surprises him. The morning sun between the basil leaves is also surprising, and exciting: he takes photos. His friends show him the goat pen that was still under construction last time he visited, with Lola. He is surprised by the passing of time. Lola could be here now, with them in the vegetable patch that had grown from a napkin and the goat pen that was no longer just an empty space marked out in chalk. There are six goats: one old goat with a long dirty red beard and five young beardless ones. He takes photos of the goats, he walks toward them and they walk toward him. The old goat mimics his movements. He moves to the left, now to the right; the goat follows him like a shadow. He asks his friends if this is normal. Juliana crosses her arms, smiling.
The house is covered in vines. The windows are the only openings in the wall of foliage, and beside the door are two large pots of lavender. Juliana shows him that in each pot there are two types of lavender: one grey, one purple. Juliana rubs the flowers to release their perfume. He takes photos of his friend with the sprigs of gray and purple lavender.
Enclosed in the bedroom, he sits at his computer. Every now and then he scratches. He discovers a large welt on his knee, and realizes it’s almost as large as the one on his heel. He removes his shoe and sock to compare them. It’s a double bite, he guesses. Maybe even a triple bite. But can a mosquito even bite you three times in the same place? He can’t write. He leaves the bedroom. Manuel is at his computer. Juliana went out to buy flour, he says. Flour? We’re making fresh pasta for dinner. He closes the front door behind him, heads for the goat pen. He crosses his arms, looks. The goats approach the fence. The beard of the old goat is wet and muddy. He enters the pen. The odor is heavy, it smells to him like the goat’s cheese he buys from the supermarket. He strokes the head of the old goat, and the others come over. He kneels, pats the back of the smallest one. With one hand he takes its little hoof, like the paw of a dog, and shakes it. He moves four steps to the right and the goats follow him. A few steps to the left, they follow him. He scratches his knee. He can’t be sure if the little goats are following the old goat or if they’re following him, but he’s sure the old goat with the wet dirty beard is following him for some reason. He discovers a black mark on the back of the smallest goat, photographs it. The goats seem disoriented, as if they’ve lost their place in some choreography. He’s wondering if he’ll ever be able to live the kind of life his friends live when he feels the wet beard of the old goat against his temple.
In the morning he deletes everything he wrote the night before. He goes to the kitchen to eat breakfast with his friends. He shows them a mosquito bite between the index and ring fingers of his left hand. He describes last night’s battle with the mosquitos. He killed three with an old magazine he found in the bathroom. He couldn’t sleep. Manuel sits beside his friend, examines the bite between his fingers. What’s that smell? It’s the moisturizer Lola gave me for Christmas, he says, just before we broke up. No, his friend says, what’s that smell? It’s orange scented moisturizer, I think. Juliana smiles, cutting the bread onto a heavy plate made of volcanic stone, and tells him it would be a good idea to stop using the orange scented moisturizer. The thing she gave him, Lola’s last gift, seems to turn in on itself, to turn against him. A lot like love, he says, without believing too much in the word, as if it were a prop in a play, an empty thing that suddenly falls from a table on the stage.

Panthers fullback Alex Armah saw someone breaking into his car, so he did what any reasonable person would do.
He threw a wrestling move on the dude until the cops got there.
According to Jourdan Rodrigue of the Charlotte Observer, Armah caught a guy going through his car thanks to an alert on his phone, when he sprang into action and confronted the man. Armah walked the man to his apartment’s front office, and after he changed his story in front of the concierge, the would-be thief tried to make a run for it.
“I snatched him up by his shirt,” Armah said. “Eventually I get him on the ground, and I put him in an arm bar.
Panthers fans refer to the 6-foot-2, 255-pound fullback as “Armah-geddon” anyway, and since he plays in the city that used to be one of the country’s pro wrestling capitals, he’s well on his way to a second career.

This article will be reviewing the Contender Fight Sports Heavy Hitter Body Protector. A body protector is a tool for practicing various striking drills involving hits to the body without needing the striker to hold back their power. Do not mistake this body protector for the slimmer and lighter chest protector used in point fighting competitions. The body protector is a larger version of the belly pad used by Muay Thai practitioners and is commonly paired with focus mitts or thai pads.
Physical Appearance: Simple and clean looking body protector. This Contender body protector is only available in the color scheme shown in the featured image.
Padding: Contender’s body protector has thick foam paddings that absorbs and distribute the impacts from each strike thrown during mitt holding sessions. It will protect your abdomen and sternum. Furthermore, this body protector has extra padding extended from the midsection and the sides.
Exterior Material: Synthetic leather covers the front side of the padding. Material used on the backside of the body shield is a soft fabric. This fabric will absorb sweat and is not as easy to clean as the synthetic leather.
Adjustable Straps: The Contender body protector has two straps that will run over your trapezius and crisscrosses behind the back. Another strap runs along your lower back. Each of these straps are made out of heavy nylon.
Strap Buckles: The buckles connecting the waist straps together are made out of plastic. This feature means you can quickly and easily put on the body protector without assistance. In addition to that, you are able to adjust the waist straps tightness after locking the buckles together, as needed.
This video shows an example of how the Contender Body Protector can be integrated into your training sessions.
The ability to adjust the tightness of all the straps is a great feature, since you can alter it to fit different body types, especially if you are taking turns being the pad holder. However, I do not believe the Contender body protector is ideal for slim body types. It does not fit as snug to my body as I would like. After putting the body protector on and adjusting the waist straps as tight as I could, there is still a small gap between my sides and the body protector. That said, the body protector does not really shift too much and stays in place, for the most part, when strikes to the side of the body like hooks and kicks are thrown.
Even though the Contender body protector is large and thick, its foam padding is relatively light. This is beneficial because it allows individuals to use it for long extended period of time without having the body protector feel too overbearing and causing fatigue to their trapeziuses.
The synthetic leather may not be as durable as genuine leather, but its combination with the Contender body protector’s quality construction provides a tough and sturdy training accessory. Furthermore, the straps on my body protector has not shown any sign of wear and tear yet. However, I do notice that threads in different parts of the body protector is coming loose over time. For example, the nylon strap is still solid, but the threads attaching it to the body protector are getting a bit loose in the corners.
I find the plastic buckles for fastening the body protector’s waist straps together to be better than velcro straps used in other body protectors and belly pads. With these buckles, you do not have to worry about the straps coming apart during training or how the velcro’s stickiness may wear out over time.
The thick and dense padding by the body protector can absorb all types of striking techniques, such as punches, knees and kicks. It may not prevent you from feeling strikes being thrown at 100% power by a larger opponent. However, you should be able to take what is left of the power transferring to your body. The protection for the sternum is a nice touch, since it allows you to work on targeting your strikes directly to the sternum and this opportunity does not exist with a belly pad.
I have found the Contender Body Protector to be available for sale in the price range of $50-80, excluding shipping and tax. I would recommend doing a little research to save yourself some money if you are truly interested in this product. A typical body protector range from as low as $30 to well over $200. If you could find the Contender body protector at the lower end of the price range listed initially, then I believe this equipment would be a great investment at a reasonable price for developing and progressing the stand up skills for you and your fellow training partners.

‘Never before have so many people across the planet been on the move’. This kind of general statement frequently pops up in the media as well as in academic texts. As a concept-metaphor, mobility captures the common impression that our life-world is in constant flux, with not only people, but also cultures, objects, capital, businesses, services, diseases, media, images, information and ideas circulating across (and even beyond) the planet. The scholarly literature is replete with metaphorical conceptualizations attempting to describe (perceived) altered spatial and temporal movements. In this talk, I argue that it is important to identify not only various forms of mobility but also the (re)production of socio-culturally shared meanings through diverse discourses as well as practices of movement. Any narrative and experience of mobility is inevitably value-laden. Distinctions are made, which ultimately feed back into the production of the social through culturally inflected notions of what ‘mobility’ means. The currently dominant mobility discourse in Europe, for instance, equates geographical movement with social fluidity, but only for socio-cultural insiders. The recent influx in Europe of ‘outsiders’ is interpreted quite differently. In this talk, then, I illustrate the dialectic relation between ideologies of (im)mobility and actual practices of people ‘on the move’, with examples from various geographic regions and time periods.
