Minister cites bullying in cancelling public meetings on Alberta parks plan
EDMONTON — Alberta’s environment minister has cancelled public information sessions about proposed new parks in a region known as Bighorn Country, citing “bullying” and “abuse” which she says make it impossible to guarantee people’s safety.“I have heard stories of Albertans afraid to attend community events, Albertans berated in public, Albertans followed home, and Albertans feeling intimidated to not speak their mind or participate in this important discussion,” Shannon Phillips said in a news release Saturday.“I call on all of my elected colleagues to denounce the bullying and harassment being faced by Bighorn supporters,” she noted, referring to people who favour the government’s parks plan.The New Democrats in November announced eight new parks covering 4,000 square kilometres along the eastern edges of Banff and Jasper national parks.Fourteen public and invitation-only information sessions were scheduled in five communities between December and Jan. 31.But Phillips said Saturday that upcoming sessions for Drayton Valley, Red Deer, Sundre and Edmonton will be cancelled. She said the government will re-evaluate its engagement plans in order to ensure people in those communities “can participate safely.”Phillips said the government will schedule two telephone town hall sessions for residents of Drayton Valley and Red Deer and that the public engagement period will be extended to Feb. 15.“We will continue to engage with all Albertans in the weeks to come. We believe our proposal for Bighorn Country sets the stage to achieve the right balance of environmental, economic, Indigenous and social values and goals,” Phillips said.Jason Nixon, the United Conservative Party member for the Sundre area, issued a response condemning intimidation — but said he hasn’t personally seen any.“I have personally attended a number of public events regarding the Bighorn, and while attendees were very concerned with the proposal, they were also completely civil,” Nixon said in a statement.Nixon has said that many people remain uncertain about the plan’s impact on industry and land use, and suggested it could take another year to gather input. He said the government has been overly reliant on information from environmental groups and has only recently opened up the process.Nixon repeated on Saturday a previous accusation that the government is trying to ram the plan through before an expected spring election.“It is completely unacceptable for the NDP to arbitrarily cancel in-person consultation. Sadly, it’s increasingly clear that the NDP isn’t interested in listening to those who live and work in the region,” he said. More than three dozen retired biologists, however, have accused Nixon of spreading misinformation. They said in an open letter to Phillips and Premier Rachel Notley that they want the provincial government to stick with the plan to conserve the area.The plan for the new parks calls for a variety of permitted activities and offers $40 million over five years for campsites and other infrastructure. Off-highway vehicles, horse packing and hunting would continue, although with new restrictions. Grazing leases would continue and no existing trails would be closed.Rob Drinkwater, The Canadian Press

The amount of stress, both physical and emotional, that people face is so much more than what it used to be even a few years ago. Stress leads to a myriad of emotions. Some people express or talk about these emotions and thus let them out, many just bottle them up. These negative emotions, such as guilt, anger, jealousy, resentment, insecurity and fear, when not given expression, slowly weigh down on immunity, eventually making the person ill.You cannot leave the mind out of the equation of healing or losing weight and fat. It plays an important role because your thoughts have a direct impact on your cells and health. Let’s do a little exercise. I want you to be angry right now. You can’t, right? You have to have an angry thought to feel anger. Let’s try again. Try to be sad. Again, you can’t, right? You need a sad thought to feel sad. You need to experience an emotion or feeling. How do these feelings and emotions affect our cells? Let me explain with a question. When you feel happy, sad or angry, where do you feel the emotion? You feel it all over, and not just in your heart or mind. Billions of cells in your body vibrate with the emotion or feeling. So, all these cells could be vibrating with a positive or a negative emotion and, if it’s the latter, that you feel continuously or for long periods of time, it can lower your immunity and rob you of energy and health. Observe carefully how you feel in your body and mind the next time you have a negative thought and emotion.Your subconscious has great power. I always ask people to consider the following example. Most people have the memory of tasting a lemon stored in their subconscious. Imagine biting into a lemon. You will most likely start to salivate. Close your eyes and imagine the sourness and taste. You will salivate more. Just talking about this experience brings up a memory that is inactive in the subconscious to the conscious mind, where it is experienced again. Your subconscious mind has collected so many experiences, thoughts and memories from the time you were a child, and it takes just one word, person, situation, sight, picture or smell to bring it ‘back to life’ in our conscious mind, which then transforms into a feeling or an emotion. Therefore, if you bottle up sad and depressed thoughts or keep thinking about them, that’s how you will be and feel. If you keep thinking you can never lose weight and are no good, it’s unlikely that you will lose weight. But if you keep thinking you are healthy, that’s how you will feel. From the time you wake up until you sleep, you are exposed to newspapers, social media, TV shows, radio shows, gossip, etc. And everything you see or hear is absorbed by your mind. If you do not live mindfully, truly aware of your feelings, thoughts, emotions and actions, it can trigger irritability or anger later in the day. This is why you need to meditate, spend some time in silence, pray or visualize your happier self every single day. You manifest what you visualize. The next time you feel negative or angry, take some time out and sit comfortably with your eyes closed and go deeper into the space behind that negative feeling. For example, you may think a person has triggered the emotion. But go deeper still and you may find a deeper connection to that emotion and person, and that’s what you need to be aware of and work with. There used to be a time when a bad day was just a bad day. But now people tend to numb their feelings using alcohol, smoking, socializing, junk food or mindless TV watching. Instead of acknowledging our feelings, we cope by suppressing them, filling our emotional void with habits and lifestyles that work like a Band-Aid, never making us face the root cause. When it comes to weight gain or the inability to lose weight, the most common coping mechanism is to ‘eat oneself out of a problem’. Unfortunately, that never solves the problem and, in fact, makes it worse. Similarly, alcohol, drugs and tobacco tend to distract us from feeling our feelings. There is nothing wrong with indulging in them, but be aware and mindful, because they can sneakily become habits that in the long run don’t address the root cause and eventually depress you. Today, like diets and exercise, spirituality has also become a fad. People jump from chanting to meditation to other spiritual practices just to tick a box. It is not done mindfully and hence people still feel incomplete. They do not let the benefits of their practice slip into the rest of their day. For example, after their 30 minutes of breathing or pranayama, they forget that they should also practise deep breathing or be conscious of their breath during the day. Emotional detoxification is important throughout the day and you need to strive to live in the present moment or at least come back to the present moment when you get caught up in the chaos of the day. The root cause of at least 86 per cent of my breastcancer cases diagnosed over the last two years in India was found to be linked to patients’ emotional issues. At the time of detection of the cancer, the clients mentioned that they were experiencing chronic stress, or something emotional or tragic was going on in their lives. These worrying statistics reinforce the need for you to look within to understand who you are and find that spiritual space and balance that help you make better decisions.

TURKEY FORCED A Syrian passenger plane from Moscow to land in Ankara, reportedly suspecting it was carrying weapons, adding to tensions between the two neighbours and prompting a Russian demand for answers.Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu said Turkey seized “objectionable cargo” from the the plane which it intercepted en route from Moscow to Damascus on Wednesday.Anatolia news agency quoted officials as saying they suspected the aircraft was carrying arms.“There is illegal cargo on the plane that should have been reported” in line with civil aviation regulations, Davutoglu was quoted as saying by Anatolia.“There are elements on board that can be considered objectionable,” he said, adding that Turkey would hold on to the cargo for further investigation but declining to elaborate on the contents.TensionsTensions have been running high between Ankara and Damascus since the eruption of the conflict in Syria and were inflamed after a series of shell strikes from Syria on Turkish soil, including one attack that left five civilians dead last week.Ankara scrambled two jets to force the Airbus A-320 plane to land in Ankara on suspicion that was carrying weapons and ammunition.The confiscated cargo was believed to be missile parts, NTV news channel reported, while state-run TRT speculated it could be communications equipment headed for Damascus.The plane was allowed to leave at 11.30 GMT, nine hours after it was intercepted, with all of its 35 passengers on board, Anatolia said.Seventeen of them were Russian nationals, including children, according to Russia’s Interfax news agency, citing a foreign ministry source.The Russian embassy in Ankara has already contacted the government, demanding an explanation on the circumstances of the forced landing, according to the Interfax source.But Davutoglu said “the incident would not affect Turkish-Russian relations at this point”.SearchesEarlier this month, Iraq stopped and searched a Syria-bound Iranian cargo plane but allowed it to continue as no prohibited items were found.And in June, Britain forced a Russian cargo vessel allegedly carrying attack helicopters and missiles for Syria to turn back.Following the forced landing, Ankara warned Turkish airline companies against using Syrian airspace to avoid a possible retaliation from Damascus, NTV said.The warning briefly interrupted Turkish air traffic, with Turkish planes changing routes to avoid Syrian skies.The Turkish army had warned earlier Wednesday of a stronger response if Syrian shells continued to land on Turkish soil, after parliament agreed to give the government a mandate to authorise cross-border operations where necessary.“We have retaliated (for Syrian shelling) and if it continues, we’ll respond more strongly,” the head of Turkey’s armed forces, General Necdet Ozel, said in Akcakale.Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan has also warned Damascus not to test the patience of the NATO member state and vowed Ankara would not tolerate such acts on its soil.Read: Turkish jets force Syrian plane to land over suspicious cargo>
Boutique shopping in Dublin in the 1960s Source: Four Courts PressIN THE AFTERMATH of The Emergency, neutral Ireland’s experience of World War II, the country experienced a couple of decades’ worth of intense change, no more than the rest of the world.The 1950s and (particularly) the 1960s saw Ireland dragged kicking and screaming into a new, modern era.How the capital evolved in those 20 years is explored, in text and evocative images, in ‘Dublin in the 1950s and 1960s: Cars, Shops and Suburbs’ by UCD geographer and Associate Professor Joe Brady, the latest volume in the Making of Dublin City series. Traffic gridlock on Grafton Street Source: Four Courts Press Source: Four Courts Press Source: Four Courts PressThe evolution of the city has been an interest of Brady’s all his academic life. A native of Fairview on the city’s northside he says: “any good geographer is always interested in the landscape around them.”“The new book looks at what things were like in Dublin in two very contrasting decades,” he says. Sandymount Strand Source: Four Courts Press“The 50s were quite gloomy, but not for everybody. It’s true there was probably a lot of dull and fairly dark things happening in Ireland in the 50s, but for others life went on.”The book is just an attempt to get a flavour for what the city was like.In Brady’s own words, he does so by looking at the bigger picture, and smaller, more personal vignettes, “like the Bowl of Light on O’Connell Bridge”, which was placed there in 1953. The Bowl was the centrepiece of An Tóstal, an annual festival that ran throughout the 1950s. “The row over it went on for nearly 10 years,” laughs Brady. “The population was horrified when they saw it – this bowl with its rotating flames.”So you have a Trinity student who grabs the plastic flames and throws them into the Liffey, and then you have a whole load of cartoons of the Liffey flinging them back! The Bowl of Light was the centrepiece of the “An Tóstal” on O’Connell Bridge in 1953 @LouiseClissold #Dublin pic.twitter.com/vFYH59ROH0— Old DublinTown. com (@OldDublinTown) September 1, 2013 By Cianan Brennan Saturday 18 Mar 2017, 8:50 AM Bigger pictureBut the book also looks at how Dublin came to evolve into its current guise – that means infrastructure, retail therapy, and house-ownership.“The only real difference in the 1950s from the previous era was that car-ownership was on the increase,” says Brady. “And the growth in cars couldn’t be totally accommodated, but you could do so to a certain degree.” O’Donovan Rossa Bridge, with Christchurch in the background Source: Four Courts Press Merrion Square Park Source: Four Courts Press Traffic leading onto O’Connell Street Source: Four Courts PressThis leads to the 40 years of planning that went on up until a decade ago. The idea back then was to build urban motorways that cut right through the city. Fortunately, in the 1950s the money just wasn’t there.This saw Dublin engaging in much “soul-searching” as to what kind of city would be needed by a car-owning population.The other big movement in society, says Brady, was Dublin people’s discovery of the joys of suburban life, and the changing of the relationship between citizens and their city centre. Source: Four Courts Press Tallaght, 1960s Source: Four Courts Press“This is all a product of the 1960s,” he says. “The car is opening out areas that couldn’t previously be used. With that comes new methods of shopping, and suddenly you have alternatives to the city centre.”In the 40s there was only one Dublin city centre. Now there are many focuses for retail sales. So you’ve got shopping centres opening in Stillorgan and Cornelscourt in the late 1960s.So how would he describe the two decades he’s been scrutinising?“The 50s is slow and steady, the 60s is fast and energetic.”In the 60s people were starting to see a bit of money in their pocket. Everyone had rented before but now people are starting to think about owning their own home. They’re thinking about the car and the television, even foreign holidays. http://jrnl.ie/3293405 27,021 Views Mar 18th 2017, 8:50 AM

Kevin De Bruyne has backed Vincent Kompany to recover in time for Belgium ahead of the World Cup and he expects the skipper to play a big part in Russia, even if he misses the first few gamesThe Manchester City playmaker played for Belgium on Wednesday night as they cruised to a convincing 3-0 win over Egypt without Kompany, as he continues his recovery from the injury sustained last week.Despite doubt’s over the 32-year-old’s availability this summer, Roberto Martinez selected Kompany in his final 23-man squad for Belgium and De Bruyne backed the coach’s decision.“He will be fine,” he told Sky Sports.
Opinion: De Bruyne is the best crosser since Beckham Tomás Pavel Ibarra Meda – September 13, 2019 We never thought we would see anything remotely like it, but now we can say that De Bruyne is the best crosser since Beckham.Nobody…“Maybe not for the first few games. I don’t know how he’s going to react to the treatment or how quickly he will progress but hopefully, he will be ready as soon as possible.“We don’t have to take any risks because we should be able to get through the group with the team we have but obviously he if he is fit to play it’s going to really help us.”Belgium have one more friendly with Costa Rica on Monday, before their Group G opener against Panama on 18 June.

About Microsoft Edge’s secret Flash whitelist by Martin Brinkmann on February 21, 2019 in Internet – Last Update: February 21, 2019 – 23 commentsMicrosoft’s Edge web browser users a secret Flash whitelist that allows Flash content to run without click to play protection on included sites.Microsoft Edge, the default browser of Microsoft’s Windows 10 operating system, supports Adobe Flash natively. Flash is set to click-to-play in the browser, and users may disable Flash entirely in the browser’s settings.Microsoft releases Flash updates regularly on the company’s monthly patch day to fix security issues discovered in Flash.It came to light recently that Microsoft implemented a Flash whitelist that allowed Flash content to run on 58 different domains without user interaction. Sites on that list included Deezer, Facebook, the MSN portal, Yahoo, or QQ but also entries that one would not necessarily expect on such a list like a Spanish hair salon.Microsoft limited the list on this month’s Patch Tuesday update to just two Facebook entries and enforced the use of HTTPS for these sites after a Google engineer filed a bug report with the company in late 2018.Microsoft obfuscated the list and the Google engineer had to crack it using a dictionary of known and popular domain names.According to the bug report, Flash content is allowed to load if it is hosted on one of the whitelisted domains or if the Flash element is larger than 398×298 pixels.Attackers could exploit the list to bypass click to play policies entirely or use XSS vulnerabilities on some of the included sites. Microsoft Edge respects Flash click to play policies on all other sites. Users need to allow the execution of Flash content in Microsoft Edge on non-whitelisted sites.It is unclear why Microsoft added the whitelist; it is possible that it did so to improve compatibility on select sites. While that would make sense on major sites like Flashbook that still host Flash content, it is unclear which parameters Microsoft used to create the list.The list features some arcade sites that host Flash games, but does not list equally popular arcade sites that also host Flash games. It is puzzling that some sites are on the list while other are not. It is possible that some sites were addedWe contacted Microsoft for comment but have not heard back yet. We will update the article if additional information comes to light.Closing WordsIt is puzzling that Microsoft would add a Flash whitelist to its Edge browser considering that Microsoft never fails to highlight Edge’s security features. Allowing sites to run Flash content without user permission is highly problematic from a security point of view even on popular sites.Taking away control and not disclosing the fact to users is highly problematic not only from a security point of view but also when it comes to trust.Now You: What is your take on this?SummaryArticle NameAbout Microsoft Edge’s secret Flash whitelistDescriptionMicrosoft’s Edge web browser users a secret Flash whitelist that allows Flash content to run without click to play protection on included sites.Author Martin BrinkmannPublisher Ghacks Technology NewsLogo Advertisement

TIANJIN, China – Here’s a big win for animal rights activists and lovers of four-legged, furry friends: Pizza, the ‘world’s saddest polar bear’, has been removed from a shopping mall aquarium in China and moved to an undisclosed ocean park in North China where she has been reunited with her parents.The three-year-old female bear has become the focus of global attention after a video was posted online by the Hong Kong-based Animal Asia group. In the video, Pizza was seen lying on her side in a glass enclosure in Guangzhou, looking sad and listless. Proving the power of social media, the global outcry has apparently prompted officials to take action and relocate the animal.“Pizza the polar bear will temporarily leave Guangzhou and return to her birthplace,” the Grandview Mall Aquarium said on its account on the social media platform WeChat.According to The Guardian, the move was part of ongoing upgrades and “minor alterations” to the mall. The aquarium will remain open during Pizza’s absence, but did not say when she is expected to return from her temporary stay at the ocean park.More news: Rome enforces ban on sitting on Spanish StepsAnimal rights groups have called for the stay to be permanent, saying that conditions in the mall were unsuitable. .In October, Humane Society International and three Chinese animal rights groups called for the mall to be close, saying Pizza’s pacing and head-swaying behavior were evidence of mental decline. In addition, more than a million people signed a petition calling for Pizza to be removed, reports The Telegraph.
