So there seemed to be not so much of but ‘Who are we voting against?' So there was definitely that strategic voting idea," said Livingstone The Conservative Party's promises to address affordability and other aspects of the economy "What's interesting is to see a younger generation starting to drift towards the Conservatives "But I think that signals to me that the message is getting through to those individuals who are very worried about what jobs they're going to get in the future and how secure those jobs are That is resonating with young people like it's not resonated before … the Conservatives have done a pretty good job speaking to those issues." a perception that the Conservatives didn't sufficiently distance themselves from U.S Republicans was detrimental federally who said the Tories instead seemed to continue to push the policies that had served them well in the election's lead-up The prof suggested that Liberal leader Mark Carney presented himself well during the campaign and may have benefited from exceeding some people's expectations "I think a lot of people thought a guy that [has] lots of other experience and he came across as competent and unflustered," said Livingstone "His experience on the world stage seemed to help … I think people are also evaluating who is best to confront Trump. They were watching the demeanour of these two individuals and I think it seemed to a lot of people that Carney seemed to appear very prime ministerial very quickly." The prof said he couldn't say whether the Greens and NDP siphoned votes from each other, but did note that partway through the campaign the NDP seemingly pivoted to a strategy with messaging stating "Here on the Island we vote NDP to stop the Conservatives," but it wasn't enough they were campaigning on the goal of vote-splitting,” said Livingstone "What's interesting is that it seemed that the people that may have normally voted for the NDP decided to park their vote with the Liberals … so we ended up with gains for the Liberals and gains for the Conservatives and the NDP losing quite a few seats." Voter turnout in Nanaimo-Ladysmith was 72.3 per cent and Livingstone felt high voter turnout had everything to do with the U.S is Trump and rise of this new nationalism in Canada … There was an emotional uplift about Canada [meaning] something and that drove people to be very interested in this election," he said "They could see it as a as a vital election about who's going to take us through this next very difficult few years."

(Source: Bloomberg) Salem Lakes has seen some dramatic changes in the last two years from the spring election of 2023.  Four incumbents were defeated in their bid for re-election the new trustees ushered in the change they promised Numerous employees left for a variety of reasons after improper conduct was discovered.  The new board was forced to take immediate action on a plethora of problems Internal and external investigations took place that brought forth new employees and procedures to safeguard against unfair targeting many changes have taken place that have allowed the village to be modernized and function more effectively during all of the change that was taking place trustee Kelly Sweeting passed away battling cancer she endorsed now Pete Poli to take her place on the board is trying to figure out a new direction for the village Some people are worried about this because with change there is always a step into the unknown Change is however necessary in the pursuit of progress That does not mean change is always productive though a well-informed board and active citizen body is the most effective way to direct that change in a manner in accordance with Salem Lakes’ values That is why you need someone like Trustee Barhyte to be re-elected because he has been a Salem Lakes resident for his entire life it is imperative that someone like Trustee Poli (resident for decades) continues to ask probing questions and challenge staff on the important issues Trustee Barhyte too is not afraid to question where funds are being directed and if the village is operating in a proper manner Those two notably were the board members who have given the most push back by raising significant questions and concerns in the budget workshop Notice where Pete Poli and Bill Barhyte are sitting during budget talks their push back was evident and fostered debate over the proper allocation of village funds but that is definitely not true for the majority of village expenditures The reality is the village needs to operate more frugally where it is feasible to do so Salem Lakes will be asking for a referendum or borrowing money to keep its head above the water Poli and Barhyte are true guardians to taxpayers’ funds They do not just rubber stamp additional expenditures.  Does any voter want their elected officials to just rubber stamp policies and expenditures without asking questions You might as well let unelected bureaucrats make all of the decisions That is why it is imperative Poli and Barhyte are elected to take two out of the three available board seats but we do not know how those candidates would govern they could elect candidates that could worsen the village’s financial situation To fight back against over spending the village needs trustees with a backbone that are willing to push back on unresponsible financial plans Any candidate or board member that says Pete Poli or Bill Barhyte ask too many questions are part of the problem It has become clear that Trustee Hopkins and Trustee Gandt are more willing to trust the villages staff to lead Salem Lakes in the right direction This doesn’t infer that the staff is doing anything wrong it was done in the past that had led to so many problems in the Village  I’ve heard the statement too many times to count “I didn’t know that was going on” This is why you need a board to ask questions not that you don’t trust your employee’s but they may be taking an approach you don’t agree with finding out after the fact ,is sometimes difficult to undo  The board is elected and expected to ask question for their constituents   Without the common-sense approach that Pete Poli and Bill Barhyte seek we could be right back to square one with another crisis  Poli and Barhyte and many other board members have asked for the Agenda by Wednesday before the meeting so that they have time to research the issues.  Currently they receive the agenda at 3.00pm Friday before the meeting on Monday.  This doesn’t allow enough time for members of the board to ask staff about their questions and concerns which has to happen on Monday.  In many cases their question(s) isn’t answered until the board meeting certain members of the board are willing to go with staffs’ recommendation then get upset when other board members have questions  Certain board members like Poli and Barhyte want answers before they vote at the last board meeting Poli and Barhyte wanted questions answered about Flock camera’s yes this is a data collection camera that shares data nationwide.  This is not a camera on somebody’s business this collects and store’s data for law enforcement nationwide and you must trust a private company with your data.  Nobody wants to hinder law enforcement But there are legitimate 4th amendment rights concerns Young and Faber had concerns with and want to look into it further  Now we have two board members saying Poli and Barhyte are Anti Police beyond stupid.  Watch the meeting on March 10th and you decide if a budget amendment was needed to pay more than what was appropriated in the budget the Village was purchasing a special cutter for the excavator which Poli and Barhyte questioned whether this piece equipment was the right piece of equipment for this machine questions about hydraulic flow requirements and safety were asked a few members of the board got upset again because they just want to vote no questions asked.  What I find interesting is that Poli and Barhyte pushed back on this equipment in a previous meeting which forced the Village to get multiple bids that saved the Village about 4 grand on a 25k purchase,” hmm” asking questions saved the Village money.  Going back to asking no questions can’t be the future of this Village  The questions Poli and Barhyte asked at the last meeting upset two board members so much they are actively campaigning against these two board members it not hard to figure out what these members of the board want did a lot of rubber stamping on important issues regarding businesses and residents The old board allowed the employees rule without any real supervision That led to significant issues throughout the village with property owners When the village employees had more control it was just easier to say “no” or to demand unreasonable requirements before moving forward everyone knows this can be a trend in government Trustee Poli and Trustee Barhyte are the opposite of “no.” They want to help create a path towards telling residents and taxpayers “yes” when it is reasonable to do so.  The can of the village’s financial woes cannot be kicked down the road Kicking the can down the road is how we ended up where we are now Now is not the time to change up the board Trustee Barhyte has only served one term and Trustee Poli has only served half a term They have done a good job so far and should be given more time to continue fostering a better future for the village Monumental progress does not happen overnight but re-electing them is a step in the right direction Pete Poli in particular has set additional time aside to help the village avoid a disastrous sewer project that could have cost the citizens an additional $5-10 million For that alone he deserves to win his bid for village trustee Has any other trustee accomplished anything else so monumental If the wrong candidates are elected the progress that has been achieved could be lost With Pete Poli and Bill Barhyte Salem Lakes can know that will not happen Pete Poli in this photo is getting talked down to by an old board member asking why they should listen to him This did not deter his efforts as he pushed back and ultimately was proven right saving the village millions of dollars!  When board members are not open minded to others’ views wasteful spending can occur The village truly owes Trustee Poli a huge thank you Pete Poli and Amanda Nedweski at the village hall Bill Barhyte listening to the facts so he can ask the important questions Something some of the board members think is not necessary does the board really want to go backwards?  Vote Bill Barhyte and protect Salem Lakes Trustee Poli has also taken time to become a member on the newly formed Economic Development Committee or “EDC” for short His vast experience in construction and sewer development will undoubtedly be of great value His only goal is to try and persuade the board on effective changes the citizens want it appears this committee is not currently loved by the village staff The EDC will operate based on what the taxpayers want  Strong leadership will be required and Pete Poli will be up to the task Trustee Poli and Trustee Barhyte will do the right thing for the citizens Those that say they have an agenda are right Their agenda is to protect the taxpayers from unwanted progress and stop tax hikes then by all means vote against Pete Poli and Bill Barhyte then it is common sense to support these strong proven leaders as trustees as they have shown themselves to be for the betterment of Salem Lakes Who is the best choice for the third trustee should be left up to the voters Salem Lakes residents should do their homework and decide for the future of Salem Lakes to be bright it is imperative that Bill Barhyte and Pete Poli are re-elected on April 1st Please remember to vote and tell your friends and family in Salem Lakes to vote as well FOR MORE INFORMATION, PLEASE VISIT   www.keepsalemlakesboard.com   ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Here are the responses I received from Pete Poli and Bill Barhyte: AGE:        52 EDUCATION: College of Lake County – Associate Degree Building Construction Technology and excavating – currently own my own business  PAST/ CURRENT PUBLIC OFFICES HELD: past Chairperson Village of Salem Lakes Zoning Board of Appeals current member of the Village of Salem Lakes Economic Development Committee PROFESSIONAL/ NONPROFIT MEMBERSHIPS: past president Northern Illinois Conservation Club past president of the Racine Kenosha Beekeepers Association  Why am I thebest candidate for Salem Lakes Trustee   I answered the call when the Village was looking for a new Chairperson to lead the Board of Appeals Then I stepped up to serve the remaining term of Kelly Sweeting lead the effort along with the Village president to create a more fair and appropriate property maintenance ordinance and to weed out lawfare/weaponization of the previous version of the property maintenance ordinance I am one of a few board members that have worked hard to attempt to keep spending under control.  Given the opportunity I would be honored to continue to serve my community as Village Trustee I am running for Village Trustee because I believe it is important to be of public service and to represent the citizens with honesty and integrity I have a strong background in public sewer collection These experiences are beneficial in leading the village now and into the future  This experience helped the Village save millions on the Yaws/Valmar project.  I’m glad I was there to serve at the right time for the Village There is no question we need affordable housing and there are potential changes/updates that can be made to the village ordinances which could help make starter homes more affordable to young families.  Young families will hopefully help support our declining school enrollment numbers.  These numbers affect the supported cost from the state there are existing non-conforming lots that have been previously platted in the town that the village could alter the ordinances to make these lots conforming which would potentially encourage new single-family homes to be built on these lots We also can create a Planned Unit Development in given area that will support one area but not the entire village with changes.  I don’t believe in sweeping changes instead I am in favor of more of an individual area approach that the residents will support What is the best way to encourage development in our community?  Because of this question I stepped forward to serve on the Economic Development Committee I hope to offer guidance with my life experiences and skill sets.  I want to protect our community from unwanted development that won’t necessarily make our quality of life any better.  Keeping taxes low is very important to me but our quality of life is also important.  Let’s consider what will be best for Salem Lakes together I’m all ears to what my constituents want and need.  I would encourage all residents and business owners to get involved it’s our community.  I’m very lucky to be serving on a committee that has very similar views as a committee member I will try to bring to fruition our residents requests I intend to put more weight on what our residents are asking for before any outsider.  voting record related to budget control and accountability and my desire to continue to represent the village residents by applying common sense and fiscal responsibility I am the candidate best suited for Salem Lakes Village Trustee Find more out about Peter Poli at http: www.keepsalemlakesboard.com  I have been part of the Salem Lakes Community for my entire life I have been married for 41 years and has four children and five grandchildren I have always given back to his country and community through public service I also have spent 41 years as a Volunteer/Paid-on-Call Fireman at the Trevor/Salem Lakes Fire Department as a Lieutenant I was elected to the Trevor/Wilmot Consolidated School District Board for approximately 25 years I was also on the Salem Township Parks Board for 20 years I serve the Village as a trustee and with your support will continue to support the Village with another term as your Trustee Why am I the best candidate for Salem Lakes Trustee?  I believe I am the best candidate for several reasons.  I have served my country and my community always putting others in front of me at many levels.  Whether my Military service Parks board service and most recently a Trustee board member of the Village of Salem Lakes.  I’m a people person and I’m driven by offering help where I can.  I truly care about my community and want to serve to make my constituent’s lives better.  I clearly have the experience and the knowledge to best serve our community and would be honored to serve another term as your Village trustee.  The change I want is the change residents want I have no agenda; I just want to find common ground and protect our community I will strive to operate as frugal as the Village can and still offer the services they need and hopefully improve residents’ quality of life in our community I’m running again because there is more work to do.  The Village has had many changes in the last two years but we must be very aware of our budget and how it can affect our community.  I want the development you want; I’m not in favor of mass development in our community; I love the country-rural feel I feel this is what makes our community unique and special.  I will be the voice of common sense on all issues I’m very committed to the Fire Department and helping our department members lead effective change  I want to help where I can.  Ems and the Fire Department needs to be respected and admired by residents and other community Fire departments; we can do this again we need to make our Public Works Department be the envy to our community our citizens are happy.  We need to look at ways to fix our roads and do steps to make them last longer they are expensive and really put a big dent in our budget.  This is critical infrastructure we need to be smart about to determine how and when they need resurfacing or replacement  I would be in favor of offering my expertise in the starting some type of Capital committee.  We have some really exceptional people in our community that could offer their expertise in how we spend money on equipment and the best way to reduce cost on our roads I believe with our great employees in public works working with a committee would offer the best chance of operating the public works department in the best way possible.  As we have seen with Pete Poli saving the Village Millions on ONE sewer project I would like to see that expand to other areas of the Village; we owe it to the taxpayer  A lot of money is spent in the Fire Dept we should strive to operate at a level that best serves the community and still maintaining a reasonable budget  I think the new EDC committee is a great idea these committee members have made a commitment to the needs and wants to the residents.  Every one of the committee members have lived in our community for decades and I believe they will protect the Village from unwanted development I would be honor to serve the community for another two years Bill Barhyte    www.keepsalemlakesboard.com – A Kenosha man already facing charges in two pending criminal cases appeared in court again

ST. LUCIE COUNTY — A political newcomer is taking on a two-term incumbent to represent part of the Treasure Coast in the Florida House of Representatives Trabulsy has raised more money and spent more money than Poli, according to campaign finance reports as of Oct Trabulsy has $281,890 in contributions compared to Poli’s $35,670 and Trabulsy has $102,789 in expenditures compared to Poli’s $23,267 Here’s who they are and why they’re running in the Nov. 5 general election decided to run to make a better life for her children they don’t see those opportunities,” Poli said Florida looks unwelcoming and unappealing.” She previously worked in mental health and children’s mental health before a friend recruited her to work for the nonprofit Communities Connected for Kids which covers the Treasure Coast and Okeechobee County as one of 17 agencies in the state providing community-based care in child welfare she said she learned how to maximize every dollar “I’ve always been driven to help people,” Poli said “My whole professional and person life is dedicated to the community I’ve always worked in nonprofits since I graduated college.” She said public service would be the natural next step for her She was registered with no party affiliation until 2022 I see things as logically and financially expedient as possible,” Poli said “If you can do it fiscally responsibly but still look out for people you can appeal to both sides of the aisle.” She said she always was a political junkie. When Donald Trump was elected president in 2016, she joined the League of Women Voters of St. Lucie County She then became president of the organization and served three years Poli said she learned a lot while working candidate forums she decided to pick a side and went with the party that wanted to uphold democracy She was unopposed in the Democratic primary in August She remembered when Florida used to be a welcoming state and said book bans or culture war bills like the “Don’t Say Gay” law aren’t what the state is about She wants to create jobs locally for climate change mitigation to bring young people back to the area after college because younger generations want to give back in their careers Since it’s become unaffordable to live in St her idea is to create starter-home neighborhoods She would help develop a program at the state level to allow local municipalities to establish the neighborhoods made of homes that can’t be rented or bought by corporations she would address homeowners insurance because the cost affects everyone She said the Legislature has written insurance laws in a way that has helped insurance companies but hurt people “The laws that have been written need to be revised so that people have the power to get their claims paid out that the premiums that they pay go down a little bit and that they potentially get insurance in a crisis,” Poli said It’s nearly financially impossible for a homeowner to sue an insurance company for not paying out claims so people could have to pay their own legal fees “Under the circumstances that you can’t afford to rebuild how are you going to afford to pay for the attorneys’ fees on top of it?” Poli said “It makes it cost prohibitive to the vast majority of people which makes it easy for insurance companies to just play the odds.” Trabulsy voted yes for Senate Bill 2A in 2022 as part of “a rubber stamp Legislature” Republican majority that does as it’s told When Trabulsy talks about the money she's brought to area “You have to be incredibly corrupt to get that done in Tallahassee right now,” Poli said you have to agree to sacrifice the rights and welfare and finances of your constituents because you had to agree to vote for all these terrible things that people don’t like.” Poli also cited how Trabulsy voted in favor of both abortions bans, voted yes for a school choice bill that strips money from public education, voted for the bathroom vigilante bill and voted for restrictions on gender-affirming care “Basically everything that people are up in arms about She turned the District 84 seat from blue to red in 2020 and was reelected in 2022 I feel like I have made a positive impact on our community financially,” Trabulsy said “I also feel like personally I’ve run some really great legislation.” Trabulsy was unopposed in the Republican primary after her opponent His decision came after a meeting between the two candidates and I have some things I want to finish before I leave,” Trabulsy said using a similar rate to what state prisons already pay and could become a model for other counties That savings means at least $11 million will be reallocated elsewhere in the county budget year after year “Our taxpayers are still going to have to pay those taxes,” Trabulsy said “but now that money can be spent more responsibly than to inflated medical costs and our inmates will still get the same quality care.” Trabulsy wants to continue her work with children and childhood education She wants to create a system to identify those students and find out why She’s worked on a school safety bill every year after she toured Marjorie Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland She learned simple things like doors weren't being closed and locked She also worked on an adoption bill to protect foster children who used to be exploited with their photos online for people to be able to flip through like they’re shopping for puppies The law required a home study to get a password to view photos of the children Some companies were mad because their views were down “This is just a prescription for human trafficking,” Trabulsy said “If they’re not really prospective parents they shouldn’t be going through the website.” A personal victory was the passage of a bill related to post-exposure HIV medication The drug needed to be taken within 72 hours to be effective The new law allows pharmacists to administer the drug for short-term use and secures $1 million annually for research at the University of Miami Center for AIDS Research She was surprised when it

The former player made it clear that attitudes like Vinícius's can't be allowed in a club like Real Madrid a footballer of Vinícius's caliber must set an example of commitment and effort The Brazilian was one of the offensive protagonists for Real Madrid in the match...but his behavior in actions like the one pointed out by Poli Rincón has sparked a debate among fans and the white club's environment Is Vinícius too weak in pressing and alert to other matters?  The truth is that Poli Rincón's anger reflects the feelings of many Madridists disappointed by the image Vinícius conveyed at certain points The former footballer publicly called for a change in the Brazilian's attitude if he wants to become a true legend of Real Madrid.  Real Madrid hasn't spared any effort in negotiating a new contract with Vinícius Júnior The Brazilian has definitively rejected the proposal from Saudi Arabia and is about to renew his bond with the white club he will surpass Mbappé and have the highest salary on the team Miguel Martín Talavera has assured on SER that "in the salary scale Mbappé neither took it nor knew how to take it and the renewal brings that figure closer to Vinicius." what they are clear about on SER is that Vinícius Júnior will once again be the figure of Real Madrid in the present and future Speaking about leadership in the white team Talavera pointed out: "Kylian Mbappé neither took it nor knew how to take it and the renewal brings that figure closer to Vinícius." ➡️ Real Madrid Georgia Southern University’s Statesboro Campus is a diverse campus with lots of joyous energy Ranging from the students who skate to class to students who participate in intramural sports for fun This amazing campus features students from all walks of life the questions that should be asked are: Do we really know each other Introducing a familiar face among the students of Statesboro is none other than Natassia Mason Natassia is a freshman at GSU on the Statesboro campus majoring in Political Science with a concentration in law in politics George Anne Staff: “Could you go into detail about your major and the focus of concentration in law revolving around politics?” it’s more of a study of behaviors within the government my concentration in law and politics explores more of the judicial branches and then I’m projected to hopefully go to law school So that is kind of the reason behind my concentration.” I am currently part of this program called the “Honors College Global Scholars” and in the spring of 25 we’re going to Wexford Ireland for six weeks Georgia Southern has offered so much potential and it’s just very positive and I feel like I’m learning so much.” George Anne Staff: “As a freshman coming fresh into college do you feel Georgia Southern has met your expectations?” Natassia M.: “100% I feel as though I didn’t have a clear grasp on the college experience you just don’t know what you don’t have and I was really hoping for engagement within other students and professors and I feel like those expectations have really been met Georgia Southern also offered so many different events on campus They really convey their want for participation There’s definitely a blend of people who will come up and approach you first and then people who you have to approach I think there’s a lot of subtle ways that you can open up communicating.” George Anne Staff: “Do you have any pets?” I know what everybody says about Chihuahuas I am very open to exploring future opportunities with orchestra I think it’s very difficult to look into the future and see where you can fit time in different areas I want to continue taking the classes and taking the lessons and then potentially possibly minoring if that is where I feel most strongly towards.” student read news organization at Georgia Southern University As a captain of the Chicago Luvabull dancers in the late 1990s Natalie Poli gasped for air after performing elaborate dances on the basketball court for Chicago Bulls fans Poli had danced her whole life – she started at age 3 her answer to "What do you want to be when you grow up?" was "Dance for the Chicago Bulls."

Privacy Policy Aligned with Boucheron's vision within the Kering group, this initiative champions creativity and responsible innovation while driving positive transformation across the jewelry sector. This new “Kering Generation Award X Jewelry” seeks to recognize visionary talent demonstrating excellence in sustainable design and jewelry-making practices, by building an international community of young students and start-uppers committed to transforming the industry.  Kering, alongside its jewelry brands —Boucheron, Pomellato and Qeelin— and with the scientific coordination of Poli.Design - Politecnico di Milano, will organize an international contest featuring 10 world-renowned universities and academies specializing in jewelry and sustainability, as well as established start-ups in the jewelry sector:  Among all the projects submitted, 4 finalists - 2 for the student’s category and 2 for the start-up category - will be presented to the jury next June 2025 at JCK, one of the world’s largest jewelry industry trade events. Following this bold initiative, the award invites students and start-ups to reimagine waste as a resource, creating jewelry that turns discarded materials into valuable pieces. This initiative challenges the traditional concept of waste by exploring the potential of creative reuse. Participants are encouraged to design a jewel—whether a single piece or a collection—that transforms waste into something valuable, showcasing the intangible power of creativity. a word that carries images both dreamed and tangible to sing — a place where the freedom to gather is expressed in the simplicity of Hauteville-Gondon's planks You'll now receive updates based on what you follow Personalize your stream and start following your favorite authors If you have done all of this and still can't find the email 2025#504 - Amanda Knox on Surviving Prison + Her Injustice + When She Knew Police Decided They Were Targeting Her + Being Conned by a Man She Was Intimate With On this episode of the BobbyCast, Amanda Knox joins Bobby to talk about her experience after being wrongfully accused of murder almost 20 years ago Amanda talked about having to survive prison her injustice and when she knew the police decided they were targeting her Amanda told Bobby how it felt to be conned by a man she was once intimate with Link to her book: FREE: MY SEARCH FOR MEANING by Amanda Knox Follow on Instagram: @TheBobbyCast Follow on TikTok: @TheBobbyCast Watch this Episode on Youtube See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information sounds and insights from industry events and more describe how investors can seize opportunity and mitigate risk in today’s credit market views global credit markets with a mixture of optimism and caution at a time when yields are high but the potential for economic slowdown looms co-portfolio manager of Oaktree Capital Diversified Income Fund describe the opportunity presented by low asset prices in credit markets as well as the importance of being selective and diversified during this time of economic uncertainty Registered in England & Wales with number 01835199 A global entertainment group, ROI Visual appointed Fauna Entertainment to represent its globally renowned brand This collaboration follows Fauna’s dedication to bring global brands to Turkish families while creating new opportunities for businesses to connect with trusted global IPs “Robocar Poli is a brand that embodies universal values of kindness We’re excited to bring these messages to life for Turkish audiences,” said Emre Aksoy “This partnership reflects our commitment to connecting global icons with local families and brands.” added: “We are thrilled to announce our partnership with Fauna We believe Robocar Poli’s unique educational value will positively enrich the daily lives of children in Turkey as evidenced by our experiences in global markets.”
