collection of waste; and reusing or recycling plastic waste The collaboration represented by the MoU has the potential to serve as an example of companies closing the loop and helping to drive the healthy and dynamic development of the plastics industry In addition, under the terms of the MoU, Dow's INNATE™ tenter frame biaxially oriented polyethylene (TF-BOPE) based and all-polyethylene (PE) packaging solution will be applied to other product lines under Liby - expanding the use of fully recyclable packaging applications "We have seen increasing commercial adoption of designing for recyclability as more companies pledge to use recyclable packaging for their products in an effort to be more environmentally sustainable and responsible Brand owners like Liby are leading the industry in taking action towards closing the plastics loop but beyond that retailers and end-consumers - working together to build a circular plastics economy," said Bambang Candra Asia Pacific commercial vice president for Packaging and Specialty Plastics "Not many end-consumers know which plastic packaging can be recycled and how to dispose them responsibly resulting in material entering the wrong waste stream," said Chen Jingye "LOVERE's independently-developed and Internet-connected Smart Sorting/Recycling Machines (SSRMs) is a technological innovation aimed to close the loop Consumers can sort and recycle their plastic waste at disposal simply through their WeChat account We plan to make SSRMs accessible by placing them at various strategic points across the country LOVERE has recycled over 80,000 tons of urban waste and we aim to do more with the signing of the MoU." we are closing the loop in the waste management process and repurposing plastic waste into useful products We are excited to partner Dow and Liby to take a step further in creating awareness of the benefits of recycling; and proper plastic waste disposal so that we can all play a part to reduce packaging waste in the very community we are in." The three companies have also committed to implementing content marketing as a tool in getting more end-consumers to understand the value of recyclable packaging and the concept of a circular economy general manager of Liby Research and Development Center said "Through this partnership with Dow and LOVERE our goal is to build new consumer behaviours around the old adage: reduce reuse and recycle for environmental sustainability plastics need to be viewed not as waste - but as a valuable resource/ material that must be kept in the circular economy loop To catalyze an effective circular plastics economy we have a shared responsibility to rethink plastic packaging; and ensure recyclability of our products' packaging design and utilizing recyclable solutions for plastic packaging we can close the loop and make recycled plastic packaging a norm - while coming up with innovative solutions to empower consumers to reuse and recycle plastic waste together." This MoU follows Liby's recent adoption of fully recyclable laundry packaging for its laundry pods Dow's INNATE™ TF resins were utilized due to its all-PE structure that allows the end-product to be recycled in existing recycle streams strong material properties offering high toughness in order to reduce leakage during e-commerce transportation as well as excellent optics for stand-up shelf appeal and touch and feel Dow's INNATE™ TF-BOPE resins provide converters retailers and brand owners like Liby recyclable packaging solutions - empowering partners to design for recyclability from the start Partners can choose materials with an innovative packaging solution that can achieve desired properties and satisfy needs throughout its lifecycle The signing of the MoU advances Dow's new sustainability target to enable 1 million metric tons of plastic to be collected reused or recycled through its direct actions and partnerships by 2030 and to have 100 percent of its packaging applications to be reusable or recyclable by 2035 About Dow Packaging and Specialty Plastics through its independently-developed and Internet-connected Smart Sorting/Recycling Machine (SSRMs) aim to build a full chain from sorting to treatment to recycling - utilizing technologies like mobile internet internet of things as well as face recognition Its SSRMs are able to sort eight categories of recyclables (paper and subsequently send them to recycling companies LOVERE will continue to promote the idea of 'recycling is the new fashion' and explore new possibilities of high-value use of recycled products and create more brands of recycled products - to build a recycling economy for the sustainable development of our planet a leading global materials science company (Delian Group) signed a memorandum of understanding ..

I wasn’t old enough to drink in public when I lived here two decades ago and Boundary Bay Brewery & Bistro was the only craft brewer in town I sipped Rogue Brewing Company’s Dead Guy Ale and Stone Brewing Company’s Arrogant Bastard clutching my dark brown bombers a little too proudly while my peers crushed cases of Olympia Beer Freed from my repressive upbringing and within a relationship where we could each explore There were games of spin-the-bottle at the queer party house and breathless bathroom encounters; I began rediscovering my more androgynous roots shoving my black lace to the back of the closet and buzzing my hair and as boundaries blurred like the gray horizon washed into the bay Bellingham has managed to grow while retaining most of the positive parts of its small-town culture all while developing a distinct personality co-founder and CEO of Aslan Brewing Company so happy to be itself.” As the tech boom slowly suffocated Seattle that city’s fading alt-culture found new form here; that brooding But one of the biggest and most visible shifts has been in the city’s beer offerings the number of local breweries has jumped from 1 to 14 I found that Bellingham had quietly birthed one of the nation’s most vibrant beer scenes I found each reflected a piece of my own story I stayed for subdued love, but I was always meant to roam. When I first got to Bellingham, I looked into studying abroad. Today, I live as a digital nomad. Naturally, Wander Brewing was one of the breweries that captivated me when I returned last fall.  Husband-and-wife team Chad and Colleen Kuehl are native Midwesterners whose shared love for fermentation and travel shaped their life they planned to start a small winery until a friend introduced them to homebrewing but decided they’d rather leave home than start a business right away Partially inspired by Colleen’s work with international nonprofits the Kuehls began a 17-leg trek across Europe to the Middle East They wrote the business plan for Wander on planes and trains After returning to the States for brewing school Chad and Colleen were ready to open their own place—and after all that wandering “We knew we were in love with Washington,” Chad recalls “Where do we [like] that could use more breweries?” They searched from Walla Walla to the San Juans The couple ended up with a 100-year-old converted warehouse a cathedral-like space with 33-foot ceilings A garage that once accommodated boat repairs now opens to the patio in the summer There is no separation between production and service; the tables wedged between barrels are often full of neighborhood locals and industry folks with the Kuehls’ young girls frequently tottering in-between Their Midwestern earnestness seems to seep into the atmosphere creating a coziness despite the industrial setting What they built is woven from resonant fibers of what they encountered all over the world and one of their goals is creating a space where strangers can get to know each other “We want [to be] that conduit for folks,” Chad says It’s all about the beer and the personal interaction between our staff and customers and customers and each other.” As a result but on Community Tuesdays donate $1 of every pint to a different charity.  Wander was the fourth Bellingham brewery to open It has intentionally stayed small since then only upgrading from 20- to 40-BBL tanks and adding two horizontal lagering tanks What growth the Kuehls did pursue came through opening ROAM a coffee house and beer bar where anyone can order either beverage at any time of day without judgment It’s one of Bellingham’s few double-duty spaces (and pretty much the only coffee shop open past 3 p.m.).  “Everything in here is Washington-made with stainless steel,” Chad says “If we’re gonna challenge people to buy and support local we wanted to get our fabrication done as close to home as we could.”  the couple focused on Belgian styles and California Commons; now and age small-batch sours in red and white wine barrels “We don’t like to put boundaries on what we brew,” Chad says “It’s a balance between what motivates our brewers and what the market will support.” Wander recently released a smoked Helles chocolate-bittersweet Correspondent Export Stout is a multi-award-winner.  My favorite was the Flanders Red: funky and effervescent vinegary in character but with just enough supple sweetness I told them it’s how I want every beer to taste forever We want to drink the same beverage at the same bar The new life I was trying on in college didn’t quite fit and moving towards it was the right answer Change has widened and broadened Bellingham to the new beer businesses and perspectives that have followed in its wake.  There’s a reason Boundary Bay is an institution: It has been around since 1995, and for more than a decade, was the only brewery in town. Bellingham’s second brewery—local legend Chuckanut Brewing, which recently moved to the Skagit Valley—didn’t follow until 2008. Kulshan Brewing Co. the number of local breweries had doubled.  Today’s brewery owners are quick to pay homage to these early founders, and even to tap them as a valuable resource. James Alexander, founder of Structures Brewing they opened a second location in its vacated space.  its tiny space like a ski lodge mashed up with a metal club which also includes head brewer Patrick Langdon and operations head Jonny Wilkerson Alexander’s background is in IPA and Stout; Cardwell’s in Lager.  they were pouring a vertical of their anniversary Imperial Stout; today But it’s those Stouts that first made me swoon for Structures so we open a bottle that’s so good it almost makes me cry It’s velvety-smooth; roasty with alcoholic warmth and notes of molasses; and subtly flavored with Ecuadorian cacao and we put a lot of emphasis on building something that can stand a barrel for at least 16 months,” Alexander says which means high gravity and ample bitterness going into the barrel to pass the test of time The fifth-anniversary beer was billed as a Barleywine and Stout hybrid featuring vanilla We’d never done it before,” Alexander smiles Their inspiration often comes from other foods and beverages like an affogato or chocolate-raspberry bar There are more types of coconut than people realize while vanilla boasts a range of flavors and origins just like chocolate “We get more excitement making interesting things for [customers] than serving our own needs,” Alexander says Their culinary fascination meant adding a restaurant was always part of the dream and the brewery’s new space will feature drive-in-style burgers with house-made potato chips it’s 10 times the size of the original location: seating 250 versus 26 including an expansive patio and yard and an all-ages policy “It will allow us to be a keystone in the community which we’ve always wanted to be,” Alexander says there is a place where you can find your people I know Structures will always have something big and dark for the times when nothing else will do.  The sense memory washes over me when I walk down Railroad Avenue: the sounds in the air the same, as local band Death Cab for Cutie proclaimed; the familiar fragrances of coffee and fresh-baked bread encased in fryer grease like amber; the Bagelry slings the same glutinous pleasures every stick of furniture unchanged; Mallard’s Ice Cream still serves basil ice cream in the summer Yet a city needs new blood. Ponderosa Beer and Books isn’t a brewery plant-filled space on a newly opened portion of the waterfront instantly became one of my favorite haunts It’s a woman-owned taproom that doubles as a beer and fermentation bookstore with a focus on titles from underrepresented authors.  Owner Jessie Polin left a career in classical flute for the beer industry; along with most of her staff she worked at Seattle’s Fremont Brewing Company motivated by the desire to create a unique beer space “I wanted a different aesthetic that was going to be appealing to people who might not otherwise think craft beer was for them,” Polin says and selling them is “a way to stand out while engaging with something I care about a lot.” Other taprooms focus exclusively on local offerings “There are phenomenal breweries here that no matter where I was in the world “But [I also serve] beer you aren’t going to see anywhere else [in town].” there’s always something new and exciting to try I eagerly anticipate each time I blow in with the wind off the Bay to see what’s on the handwritten menu above the bar “Another niche I’m trying to fill is an intentional focus on European beer styles: Lager funkier things like mixed-fermentation,” she says “I was nervous that people were going to be cranky … because there wasn’t enough IPA [People are excited] that there are different things.”   Sometimes I go specifically for a certain beer it’s because I want to linger in the space more like a coffee shop or yoga studio than a bar the Progress Pride flag in the doorway is backed with action; it’s a place where my pronouns are respected and staff are allies for the underrepresented.  but Polin is supported by loyal staff and regulars while representatives of the Pacific Northwest beverage scene always seem to be dropping by from a clothing drive with an Otherlands gravity keg to weekly cribbage and a rollicking tasting night with Finnriver Cider a holiday market packed 16 vendors into every available corner snacks—and even a lush wall of plants.  I wasn’t going to be in Bellingham long enough to nurture a living thing the certified-organic and B-Corporation brewery and restaurant is a Bellingham fixture and Pacific Northwest institution one with exacting standards of quality and sustainability it now employs over 100 people across two local establishments and one Seattle outpost.  Lamb and homebrewer Frank Trosset were trying to find a way to stay in town a common post-college tale that keeps jobs scarce; the only option was to create their own their mission was commensurately idealistic with certification the plan from day one.  “We wanted to make organic cool,” Lamb says; at the time it was the purview of hippies and grandmas Sustainability meant repurposing everything “The tables were made out of the racks our fermenters came on,” Lamb recalls “The subway tiles on the walls were made from old office flooring.”  but the onerous standards for sustainability delayed their opening to May 2014 when demand for quality local beer had reached a fever pitch There was a line around the block from the beginning all the reviews were either five stars or one Some people were almost singularly loyal to Boundary Bay; others saw the sleek aesthetics and wrote them off “People didn’t realize we built this place ourselves,” Lamb says “Frank and Boe were on food stamps.”   Lamb grants the first beers needed work—Trosset had never brewed on a commercial system before—but found the feedback excessively harsh The local paper’s crime writer started moonlighting as its beer writer “He said he’d rather drink the ketchup on the table than Disco Lemonade [Berliner Weisse],” Lamb says Even after that beer advanced to the medal round at GABF In defiance of the IBU arms race and homage to simpler times Trosset made dry beer with no caramel malt The founders invested in a whirlpool for late-addition hops to boost effervescence and aroma and dry-hopped rather than filtered effectively making Bellingham’s first Hazy IPA; Lamb recalls bars calling confused that they’d poured through two pitchers and it was still cloudy but Aslan’s reputation still needed a boost repurposing the old downtown public station into the Aslan Depot bringing not just wine and spirits but beers from the likes of Heater Allen Brewing and Holy Mountain Brewing Co to prove theirs could stand up to the best sometimes handing out samples side by side.  so they invested in a lab that today is one of the state’s biggest buying equipment cheap at university auctions They also invested in people with chemistry backgrounds the only one with brewing experience when hired eight years ago His vision aligned with the founders’ preference for traditional styles with a twist; beer as science and art that comes second to carbon impact scores a collab his team made with North Bend’s Dru Bru: a Cascadian Dark Ale rare and quintessentially Northwest; hoppy yet malty For some producers, says Umbinetti-Hutton, “organic” is just a tick-box exercise. “I want to work with farmers who actually care,” he says, which means organic and salmon-safe a regional certification that promotes water quality and watershed health Aslan works closely with the slowly growing number of organic local hop and malt producers to drive quality and expansion.  Organic compliance is incredibly onerous: ingredients are expensive and limited; they can’t use anti-foaming or binding agents since recipes and packaging must be finalized eight weeks in advance by the state agriculture department “to show people that it is possible to run a sustainable and successful business.” The all-ages taproom is always packed with a cross-section of the town The Depot is a grown-up oasis in the college scene a place to sip natural wine and listen to live jazz and among the state’s most widely distributed.  the ones where you’re always the bad guy; I can relate “I’m just happy to be part of this town,” Lamb says “My goal now is to be in the top 90th percentile when people come to visit Beerland If Bellingham is the mystical city emerging from the woods Otherlands Beer is an enchanted forest with a really good beer garden brought indoors Founders Karolina Lobrow and Ben Howe meant it that way.  “Imagine you’re walking into your favorite novel and you find a magical little pub in the middle of a village,” Lobrow says “You’re cozy and warm; food is served at the table so you’re engaged with the people around you.”  Midnight-blue walls and warm wood paneling surround a glorious bronze-colored bar strung with fairy lights and dotted with mushrooms that peer from walls and under the bar sprouting in the bathroom and dangling from the ceiling; apparently mushroom-shaped tap handles came to the artist in a dream the outdoor patio spills over with greenery and woodland figurines hide among the tables.  you’ll find regulars from the surrounding Sunnyland neighborhood and industrial workers sprinkled with cement powder like fairy dust Otherlands was the only brewery besides Boundary Bay with a full-service kitchen and the vibe is as comfortable as your best friend’s house.  too: Howe did a brewing internship in Franconia Germany at a family-run brewpub where not only was the beer delicious “they sat down and talked with everyone,” Lobrow says and that’s what we want it to feel like when people come here.” The couple met while working at Boston’s Cambridge Beer Company also inspired by that brewery’s familial atmosphere Lobrow had an international nonprofit background; she and Howe also scoured the West Coast for the perfect place to open their European-style microbrewery and café “We talked to brewers and business owners about whether our concept would fit into the tapestry of Bellingham,” Lobrow says It’s important to the couple that the space expresses their values “We think our beer is better represented in glass or growler packaging,” Lobrow says.  Calling it “elevated pub food” might be the closest description There are seasonal house-made quiches; a towering beet Reuben dripping with sauerkraut and mustard the brainchild of head chef Noël Keyes; pillowy pierogies piled with sauteed mushrooms and onion or swimming in a rich yet delicate curry sauce; thick-cut Belgian frites in multiple flavors (curry is my favorite) evoking Lobrow’s ancestry and the couple’s travels in Germany reflected in the small but robust bottle list slow pours into 22oz glass steins that garnish their Lagers They call them “three-pint” beers: balanced and flavorful Howe describes them as “more Impressionism than Realism,” made in the Franconian tradition: big and expressive with strong yeast character “My goal is to coax more flavor out of our hops [and] grain … and make them as three-dimensional as we can I always resonated with the Impressionists who saw the world in quantum weirdness as thousands of molecules vibrating in blurred view; with Cubist figures put together all wrong Those early artists found strength in numbers Howe and Lobrow describe how owners of breweries from Aslan to Wander came to their aid during their opening “It’s also a community that shares knowledge resources,” Lobrow says “trusting that everyone’s going to do something creatively different.”  “Borrowing a piece of equipment from Ben at Otherlands becomes a half-hour conversation about making a beer we’ve both been dreaming of for a decade But growing up has a way of changing things As more people move to Bellingham and the number of breweries multiplies which not every town can say,” Lamb observes … The community is super unique in all the right ways.” Besides “There’s enough outdoors to dissipate everyone [and keep the town feeling] free but “it takes a backseat to our friendships,” Chad says ‘Do you really all get along?’ And we really do.” The original owners set the culture he adds; they’re just reaping the rewards—and are eager to pay it forward to new arrivals.  Some diversity comes through the student body yet history includes dark chapters: seizing the land from the Coast Salish people; an instance where Asian and East Indian cannery and fishery workers were beaten and literally run out of town It will take new faces and proactive effort for the community to even begin to address such wrongs With education a focus—Bellingham’s Sehome High was the Northwest’s first high school; WWU started as a teacher training school—perhaps there is hope.  And maybe we can only truly see who we are in relationship with others and the context of what surrounds us The Buy Local campaign started early here; multiple organizations connect farms but its people truly view themselves as embedded in ecosystems.   The locals like to say that Bellingham will always be here It’s the place I began realizing I wasn’t who I thought I was and that scared me even more than being in love I assumed coming back would remind me of all I had here once and still lacked but sitting in the Aslan Depot behind a line of half-dead soldiers with my friend and photographer sampling styles of beer I didn’t even know existed in 2003 I’ve been longing for a time when I was longing for something else.  and what stays the same is the idea that your happiness lies somewhere outside yourself but you won’t; you’ll always have what was but it’s gone; you’ll always remember who you shared it with Maybe it’s less thrilling than a tumultuous romance but the city of subdued excitement reminds you that you already have everything you need and Publications that’ll drive you to drink Just in time for Valentine’s Day, multi-platinum singer-songwriter Brady Seals, formerly of supergroup Little Texas, releases his re-recorded version of “My Love” to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the smash hit that ascended to No 1 on Billboard’s Hot Country Songs in 1994 Seals co-wrote “My Love” with Tommy Barnes and Porter Howell and sang lead vocals on the original version which became the first No Seals returned to the studio with the song’s original producer Christy DiNapoli to commemorate three decades since the release of the power ballad from Big Time This iconic song propelled the album to sell over two million copies Seals returns to celebrate one of the defining hits of the 90s carries a remarkable musical pedigree as part of the Seals family connected to industry luminaries like Jimmy Seals Seals’ career soared during his six-year tenure with Little Texas 1 hits and earning the ASCAP Triple Play Award His solo journey showcased collaborations with Rodney Crowell and a self-titled CD featuring industry icons like Vince Gill and Ricky Skaggs dubbed “Music City’s Super Group,” Seals achieved the highest-selling debut for a country group in the Neilson SoundScan era garnering millions of streams for his latest singles including “I’d Really Love To See You Tonight.” Copyright © 2013-2025 The Music Universe.

Australia’s own Dance Academy (2010-2013) was frequently mentioned in the responses as a show that even adult viewers “can watch… anytime and feel connected with,” as one respondent put it For those who didn’t keep their old VHS tapes or DVDs it has been the advent of streaming services that has enabled viewers to rediscover their cherished kids’ shows of old Nearly two thirds of adult respondents have revisited Australian children’s shows in recent years most often via online clips and streaming services In our survey, Round the Twist (1989-2001) emerged as the favourite Australian children’s television show to revisit, with Lift Off! (1992-1995), Lockie Leonard (2007-2010) and Play School (1966-) also highly placed While there’s nothing new about adults getting swept up in nostalgia for childhood viewing the streaming era has made it even easier to pass on these family viewing traditions The heightened nostalgic urge to return to old TV shows has also been linked to the COVID-19 lockdowns many of us have recently been through many respondents mentioned the lockdown made them more likely to revisit children’s TV from their youth “in these strange and chaotic COVID-19 times I’ve been really feeding into the nostalgia.” nostalgia is also a type of grieving for a past that has been lost Returning to kids’ TV is a way of both grieving for and celebrating our own past childhood as well as a pre-COVID world we used to enjoy nostalgia is not as simple as we might at first assume Our survey responses indicate families have been uniting across the divide of lockdown restrictions and closed borders to watch old kids’ TV shows together: “In lockdown, it’s provided a connection point for my family” by rewatching Round the Twist and Sky Trackers (1994) and tell jokes about it consistently through messaging services.” Not only parents but also grandparents and babysitters revealed they enjoy sharing beloved shows from their childhood with the next generation. This strategy isn’t always successful given tastes and expectations have changed with today’s kids finding some old shows “bonkers” or describing the special effects as dated I want to show them some of the shows I loved (whether they like it or not!)” Many of our survey participants discussed this shared viewing across generations our participants are finding connections with their own generation on social media through old kids’ shows they still enjoy Even young adults are already feeling nostalgic “I have loved watching on TikTok people recreating some of the iconic scenes” from H2O: Just Add Water (2006-2010) and Blue Water High (2005-2008) “When scrolling through the comments of these videos there’s often hundreds of other young Australians that relate as they had the same fond memories of these shows which I feel unites us.” so perhaps the show is a contemporary vehicle for adult viewers’ nostalgia about growing up in Australia our research indicates that engaging nostalgically with kids’ TV has been an important means of social connection during the pandemic both between adults and within and across different generations Although nostalgia was initially defined as a ‘disease’ today it is combating the division the pandemic has created with locked down audiences using streaming services to reconnect with their favourite kids’ TV and each other Reflections unfolding the 2022 Global Ecumenical Theological Institute theme and its sub-themes Life on earth is characterized by borders in many ways borders have an ambiguous purpose: they separate lands and countries and they define restrictions for action but they can also help for protection and guidance The last definite border to every life is death But the very fact that Christ “trampled down death by death” shows that even this border can be removed and will be removed by the will of God the Global Ecumenical Theological Institute programme with its thematic tracks wants to unfold the different aspects and possibilities for the move and removal of borders in different areas of Christian life in ecumenical perspective One of the most crucial areas for the separations between Christians is history (historic-theological track) which are generally at the same time political borders But it is also true for invisible borders such as cultural differences Most of the differences that divide the churches have their roots in history and in the wounds the churches have inflicted on each other throughout history the removal of borders in this area has substantially to do with reconciliation through the healing of memories The city of Karlsruhe is located at the border between Germany and France – the history of which gives an excellent example for a successful reconciliation between two countries which had been archenemies for ages until the 20th century Global Ecumenical Theological Institute students will also study the case of South Africa after apartheid and discuss the necessity for reconciliation in the case of Ukraine and Russia after a hopefully soon end of the war The healing of memories is not just necessary in view of wounds within societies but also between churches which condemned each other as heretics leading to mutual persecution and war in the past Examples for study are the relations between the Roman Catholic Church and the Lutherans or the Lutherans and the Mennonites.  Going beyond the borders existing between Christians we have also to consider the other existing religions and our relationship with them (intercultural-interreligious track) Religious plurality is a phenomenon in all societies It is related to migration and globalisation especially for churches in societies which have been for a long time a majority in their context as it is the case in many countries in Europe.  Already in the Old Testament a central concern of Jahwe is the care for the poor and marginalised This has been developed further in the New Testament and taken up by Jesus Christ in his healing activities and his standing at the side of persecuted persons the diaconical dimension (practical-diaconical track) was an aspect of the church from its beginning on In a globalised world this includes the removal of borders between rich and poor A very specific area where borders need to be removed is the question of justice and human rights (just-relations track) Gender justice and questions related to racism are just some of the issues to be discussed and studied in this field The location of the Global Ecumenical Theological Institute in Karlsruhe gives the opportunity to discuss related questions with lawyers of the German Supreme Court ‘Oikoumene’ means “the whole inhabited earth.” Therefore the question of reconciliation is not just related to human beings but to the whole creation (eco-theological track) It is almost a truism that it is the anthropocentrism of human beings which is in big parts guilty for the ecological disasters of the last century and the disasters we are and will be facing in this century That this anthropocentrism was nurtured by the Bible and especially the Old Testament history of creation is shameful It is high time for a metanoia: a renewal of the moral vision in view of the ecological crisis is indispensable Dagmar Heller is scientific consultant for

RICA'S LEADING ENGLISH LANGUAGE NEWSPAPER and I am the surrogate father of an orphaned tamandua anteater I am in my senior year of undergrad majoring in Earth Systems I work as an independent researcher at the Toucan Rescue Ranch Release Site I don’t give my child comfort or affection – I give “tough love,” the kind of love a wild animal needs so it stays wild and doesn’t become attached to people; it’s the kind of love she needs to be free I’ve had the great privilege of working at the Toucan Rescue Ranch (TRR) Release Site in Sarapiquí to re-wild an orphaned female juvenile Tamandua mexicana Pebbles’s mother was severely wounded by a passing automobile Pebbles and her mother are not the only victims: Roads are one of the biggest threats to tamanduas according to the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Pebbles was rescued and raised by the kind Pebbles arrived at the TRR Release Site for the final stage of her journey back to the rainforest My job is to help Pebbles learn the behaviors she needs to become independent – to ensure she knows the ecological skills she will need to survive I take her in a kennel to the nearby forest to practice climbing trees and foraging for ants and termites Although I give Pebbles “tough love,” my heart is on an emotional rollercoaster ride during these forest training sessions plunging suddenly into panicked worry if I lose sight of her in the dense forest canopy then soaring high with pride and awe as I watch her wreak devastation on a city of termites like a furry Pebbles will be the fourth tamandua I’ve helped reintroduce into the wild she is the first tamandua I will have the privilege of tracking and observing once released — something I’ve dreamed of doing for years — with the aid of a VHF radio harness custom built by Telonics Inc This would have never been possible without the support of my university Stanford awarded me a Major Grant to re-wild and study the activity patterns and space use of Pebbles as part of my research for my honors thesis in the Earth Systems Program this will be the first radio-tracking reintroduction study of a hand-raised orphaned Tamandua mexicana I’ve recorded Pebbles consuming bromeliad seeds several times –  a feeding behavior which Pebbles surprised us all when she had her first period reaching sexual maturity three months earlier than expected I know that many new exciting discoveries and experiences await Pebbles and me on our journey together Wish me luck as I continue to prepare her for independent life in the wild — Duncan Coleman is a Release

the wild dashes around Luke’s Love Boundless Playground A little boy slides the slide head-first and rushes back for another turn Small hands beat drums and operate noisemakers at the playground’s music station a host of kids have rediscovered Luke’s Love just reopened in West Barnstable after a nearly two-year revamp and relocation The state-of-the-art playground first opened in 2010 and was given to the town of Barnstable by the Luke Vincent Powers Foundation as “a gift for children of ALL abilities.” The foundation was formed by Suzanne and Bill Powers back in 2003 after the death of their infant son the facility was moved about 60 yards from its original location near the ballfield as part of the town’s overhaul of West Barnstable’s Lombard Field recreational area on Route 149 The playground is part of a network of more than 100 certified "Boundless" playgrounds in the United States and Canada whose mission is creating structures that can be used by all children including those with disabilities – with no separation of the play facilities into different areas “Every inch of space is wheelchair-accessible,” said Suzanne Powers an executive board member at the foundation offered an informal tour around the grounds as the bright new play structures were mightily invaded by a horde of energetic kids Powers and Savage explained that the surface underfoot is completely new made of a “poured-in-place safety surface” that has a somewhat “giving” feel Other landscaping and plantings throughout are being designed and overseen by Julia Garden Design in Osterville which has donated its participation in the project The area is enclosed by white picket fencing and new playground fixtures are made of kid-friendly material There has been lots of painting and upgrading Other thoughtful additions include picnic tables (also wheelchair-friendly) and quiet spaces for kids who may not take to a lot of noise and “input.” or perfected their balance jumping on a clever course made of separate "landing places" that looked like a cross between toadstools and flowers Powers noted that the playground has received positive testimonials from doctors and therapists on the Cape who say the facilities have provided important “physical therapy” experiences for a number of children Although the foundation presented the playground to the town in 2010 its supporters have remained actively involved throughout the renovation process and plan to continue hosting events that assist disadvantaged families throughout Cape Cod its supporters were instrumental in raising funds for the then-newly-established Children’s Cove (Cape and Islands Child Advocacy Center) in Barnstable the foundation hosted a yearly visit there by Santa Claus with two of them held at the West Barnstable train station during the playground’s hiatus families brought items to donate to A Baby Center in Hyannis they’ve hosted a free shopping event at a church in Osterville geared to WIC families on Cape Cod – where folks can take all they need of the available clothing toys and necessities on offer – with no cut-off age The foundation also has assisted with programs at Cape Kids Meals and supplements some of the programs at various local schools Powers said the playground may soon be hosting a new perk Working with Whelden Memorial Library down the street the two organizations plan to erect a new Tiny Library near the playground entrance The enclosures are small structures that hold books – free for the taking They’re like similar such structures that dot the

Move the remainder of the Champions League there and we’d be a nailed-on certainty to win it This was an excellent display from Liverpool against opponents that have reached mid-March still in with a decent chance of ending Bayern Munich’s reign of Bundesliga terror While RB Leipzig are persona non grata in their homeland for the morality of their source of funding and business model they have an utterly admirable approach to kicking a ball around a football pitch It was almost intoxicating to go up against opponents that didn’t automatically flood their penalty area and set up with deep-lying blocks but Liverpool’s players seemed to enjoy football on Wednesday evening or at least once a belated way past the one-time Reds goalkeeper Peter Gulacsi had been found Even when at their most profligate, Jurgen Klopp’s side were throwing out compelling shapes with an eclectic collection of ways not to score on offer Recent events have left us nervous to such situations and when Leipzig began to produce chances of their own Liverpool could have been forgiven for going rabbit in the headlights as they performed with a beautifully reassuring lack of foreboding and Liverpool managed to balance themselves in this one better than at virtually any stage since Christmas Fabinho was absolutely loving being reunited with the No while Jota offered a more belligerent option through the middle of the front three it meant we were considerably less predictable than of late Confident from the off, there was a perceptible spring to the Liverpool step, despite Alisson being called into early action With Fabinho mopping up everything in midfield – cutting out through balls aplenty like some sort of super absorbent kitchen roll impressively sponging up a split two-litre bottle of water with Juan sheet – it meant that Phillips and Kabak were gifted simpler jobs than they might have expected We’ve undeniably missed Fabinho in midfield, and he was magnificent on Wednesday night. Between now and the end of the season, he and Wijnaldum must play every game together in midfield, or at least until any projected return of Jordan Henderson While everybody has been transfixed by the shadow puppetry of a revolving-door central defence it is in midfield where the subsidiary reverberations have been felt Often considered the weakest part of Klopp’s Liverpool over the last few seasons, it is only now that the value of the Henderson-Wijnaldum-Fabinho triumvirate can be truly appreciated Without Fabinho and Henderson the balance of the midfield has regularly been lopsided In the absence of Henderson, it leaves us with a need to lean heavily on Wijnaldum and Fabinho if we are to rescue something tangible from what has been a troubled campaign it means a bit of bravery is required in central defence and that we let the partnership between Phillips and Kabak grow There is a lot of responsibility involved for Phillips and Kabak, and while it’s hard to imagine them as a Champions League-winning central defensive partnership, if trust is handed to them, in turn freeing up Fabinho It’s about making your options bigger and flexing what muscles you can If Klopp can improve the psyche of own players then he can turn his attention back to getting under the skin and into the heads of his opponents We were a little more meandering in the second half It was natural that Leipzig would come at us and at our most vulnerable the bar was hit any lingering notions Julian Nagelsmann might have harboured of testing Liverpool’s nerve evaporated and something we can hopefully see more of in the last two months of the season Salah’s goal led to a flurry of changes either side of Mane making it 2-0 One of the most promising images of the night was provided by Mane but more in how disgruntled he looked when being substituted This was a marked difference to how he almost slumped onto the pitch a game or two ago To Wolves we now head on Monday to see if we can translate a good night of European football into an upturn in domestic fortunes armed with a potential framework for brighter days ahead so that's an achievement that won't be missed by us but we know we've got three more games to keep building on that." Is the Queensland boss the right man to lead Australia forward And will Joe Schmidt be tempted to stick around for Rugby World Cup 2027 Young Hurricanes and Maori All Blacks fullback Ruben Love has announced his signing of a new contract with the Hurricanes through to the end of 2025 Love has an impressive resume despite his young career, with sporting pedigree in his blood. His father, Matene Love, was a former M?ori All Black, and following his legacy, Ruben was the first-ever player to be selected in both New Zealand Under-18 M?ori rugby and cricket sides in 2018 he represented the Under-19 New Zealand cricket team and the New Zealand Schools’ Rugby team in 2019 Cricket was an option for Love, but he decided to make the switch to rugby, joining the Wellington Lions in 2020 and scoring a try on debut against Bay of Plenty. Love’s outstanding performances caught the Hurricane’s attention, and he made his debut for them against the Highlanders in 2021 Since then, Ruben Love has continued to impress, thriving in the Hurricanes’ setup. In addition to his call-up to the M?ori All Blacks, the 22-year-old was also selected in the All Blacks XV squad in 2022 All Blacks front-rowers Tyrel Lomax and Dane Coles have formed a formidable connection at both Super Rugby and Test level A groin issue has kept Love sidelined for the 2023 Hurricanes season to date Love remains optimistic and ecstatic about his future with the Hurricanes “I am really excited to re-commit to the Hurricanes until the end of the 2025 season,” said Love “It’s always been a goal of mine and my wh?nau for me to represent the Hurricanes organisation and Te iwi o Te ?tiawa “Being injured this season has put a lot of things into perspective for me and whilst I’ve been rehabbing my groin I have received a lot of ?whina and tautoko from the Hurricanes players “I am more motivated than ever to contribute to this club and I look forward to being back on the field for the ‘Canes in 2024 Eke Panuku Eke Tangaroa is a Maori proverb that acknowledges the unseen energies of the land and sea Hurricanes head coach and soon-to-be All Blacks assistant knows just how high the ceiling of the young fullback is and expressed his excitement at the signing “It’s great to have Ruben recommit for the next two seasons,” Holland said “Ruben is a quality young man who has all the skills “I know he is working hard to get back on the field he’ll add massive value for the Hurricanes.” Join free and tell us what you really think Is the Queensland boss the right man to lead Australia forward Northampton Saints found a way of beating the fabled Jacques Nienaber blitz and inflicting another 'horrific' Champions Cup loss on the Leinster giants Warren Gatland forged a sense of togetherness in his 2013 Lions but faced personal 'vitriol' after leaving out a legend Good work getting some proper analysis out so quickly Nick Their attacking channel of kickoffs and phase play BREAKING: NZ Rugby Launches National "Rebuilding Era" Hotline for Devastated Fans Calls triple after another loss to a Tier 1 nation with a functioning lineout In a bold move aimed at tackling a growing national crisis New Zealand Rugby has unveiled a new 0800-REB-UILD hotline to offer emotional support to fans still trying to cope with the fact that the All Blacks are no longer the indestructible force of yesteryear Following yet another "promising" performance that ended in tears and post-match excuses the hotline will be staffed by former All Blacks who’ll gently whisper “It used to be better” and play reruns of Richie McCaw highlights to soothe callers through the pain From Dynasty to "Developing Nation" the All Blacks have now become the international equivalent of a banana peel — occasionally threatening but mostly stepped over by teams with better coaching and a functioning scrum Rugby pundits are beginning to ask the real questions: Should New Zealand be classified as a Tier 1.5 nation Is “We’re building for 2027” the new national anthem And most importantly: How many more assistant coaches do they need before they stop blaming the weather long used to smugly reminding the world of their World Cup count now find themselves angrily Googling the phrase "how to handle sporting mediocrity." Even the most loyal supporters have been caught muttering the unthinkable: “Maybe South Africa is just better now.” social media has been flooded with support messages like: A Look to the Future (Or Just the Past Again) New Zealand Rugby has reportedly asked Peter Jackson to create a new fantasy trilogy titled "The Return of the Glory Days," with Sam Cane playing Frodo — a brave but slightly out-of-depth hero wandering through the Northern Hemisphere hoping someone still respects him announcing a new strategy based on ancient Maori wisdom: when the canoe is sinking Let’s be clear — the All Blacks can still turn up on their day "on their day" feels more like a national holiday than a regular occurrence and remember — world rugby is more fun when New Zealand isn't always winning Absolutely agree - I have no doubt that they will make a much bigger thing of the end of the league results next year and hopefully have a proper Sevens’ Shield presentation then go to the winner takes all between the top eight teams It also gives smaller teams the possibility of winning the big one the Currie Cup used to be decided on who finished top of the log - then the marketing guys saw the potential in a winner takes all semis/final So in those comps as in the Super Rugby league table you can finish fourth in the round robin and still win the ultimate prize - and that’s where a lot of top sides come short Knock out rugby has a different mindset as is evidenced by Leinster in the 15’s game They swept everything in front of them but took 24 years to win their second WC Now why the heck would you like to see a “fish out water” in the 10 jumper for the AB’s I'd say the shield should be given greater weighting then Sevens is very unique though More like golf where a team can have a storming tournament and then not so much the next tourno The nature of it really means (which is great for the sport) that it's very unpredictable it doesn't feel right that one tournament result defines the sevens season Real winners were Argentina The WHOLE season shouldn't be defined by one tournament This is not one tourno but a SERIES of tournos I just feel that's different to the playoffs of a SR/EPL/URC/Top14 season Good theory SK Super Rugby and the northern comps have different strengths and weaknesses and I'm not saying one is better than the other However the length of the northern season means that you have to either rest your best players a lot or run them into the ground which leads to the issue you've described One of the things I like about SR is that the test players get a longer off/preseason and only have miss a couple of games So they are match hardened without being overworked Agreed but I think he was saying that taking the kick for goal was 50/50 Now that’s a match up that’s way too close to call but Saints absolutely have a great shot at the title here Absolutely smacked of rotation it definitely wasn’t appropriate and they totally underestimated Saints All the commentary beforehand was entirely dismissive of Saints and it was poetic to see things play the way they did RTE describing Saints as a mere “speed bump” Kearney stating Pollock “had a target on his back coming to Dublin” and he would be better served “keeping his head down and learning his trade” Horgan saying Leinster only needed to be at 80% Jeez they even turned down the 3 to level and go again and that’s despite having been taught the same lesson in previous tight CC losses Didn’t you mention something similar in the Irish team attitude about a lax attitude pre France in March what was Einstein’s definition of madness again something about doing the same thing over and over and still getting the same result Ps not sure at all Saints are best side in England and doubt they even win the 24 final without Obano’s 22nd minute red card Ryan hasn’t been starting ahead of McCarthy for a while either for Leinster or Ireland and RG was bought in for these games i know a tech expert who can aid you in recovering any crypto currency,reach her (infocyberrecoveryinc@gmail.com and telegram:marie_consultancy) Current record is 52-40 for the Springboks The old adage holds - test matches are won up front… Interesting article Love certainly had impact at 10 against a very strong Chiefs side goal kicking and general play enabled his team to beat them comfortably If he can continue that form he would be an asset for the ABs so should at least be in the squad Pretty well The wallabies have a good record against the springboks Ther has been some talk of ‘good cop bad cop’ with Joe playing the tough love role A but Joe won’t be there for at least one year esp with Les slated to finish one year after a WC in 2028 I think the choice reflects the current battle for power between Waugh and Dan Herbert and you’re point of comp with Ewen McKenzie may turn out ot be all too accurate It is not a chocie which will lead to unity of purpose in the long run it will simply expose the flaws at the time of making it The next idea to try might be fornting up with the first XV on those tough tours of SA pre-Champions Cup semi Get them battle hardened upstairs for the tests ahead Previous games with Lienster showcased the full range of his abilities though Tim, just have to give him the full 80 not half a bleedin hour. 9 ContributorsTrue Love (Re-Release) LyricsAn early track of Tobias Jesso Jr.’s, “True Love” was not included on his debut LP, Goon, but was later released as a single, backed with an alternate version of Goon track “Without You.”[Verse 1]He's uptight he don't own nothing newBut he ain't cheap he just can't afford toBut she don't mind he's everythingAnything for you[Verse 2]Everyday just trying to get byNo time to cry no he can't afford toAnd she waits through everythingAnything for you[Chorus]That's what you call true love true loveThat's what you call true love true love[Verse 3]Working late cause she never finished schoolShe ain't a fool she just didn't like itBut he don't mind she's his everythingAnything for you[Verse 4]Every time she tries to fightBut she knows he's right she just didn't like toAnd he waits through everythingAnything for youYou might also like[Chorus]That's what you call true love true love[Bridge]She wants to know"Do you do you want me?"He wants to know"Do you do you want me?"She'd love to know"Do you do you love me?"He'd love to know"Do you do you love me?"She needs to know"Do you do you need me?"He needs to know"Do you do you need me?"Like I need you[Chorus]That's what you call true love true love4EmbedCancelHow to Format Lyrics: To learn more, check out our transcription guide or visit our transcribers forum +3ShareQ&AFind answers to frequently asked questions about the song and explore its deeper meaning The upcoming episode will show that Raja tries hard to get back Rani's trust and apologize to her for what all happened Rani is not ready to do friendship with Raja she although forgives Raja for what all he did with her in college Rani is not ready for friendship as she knows that they belongs to two different status and can't be together Rani is hurt as she recalls their childhood love for each other and stands out in rain thinking about her past Raja sees Rani in rain and comes to help her and take her inside recalls their love and hugs each other affectionately Raja and Rani comes closer their childhood romance is reborn amid them let's see will they accept each other back Stay tuned for more exciting updates of the upcoming episodes.  Ek Tha Raja Ek Thi Rani: Jeevan's evil plan against Rani Ek Tha Raja Ek Thi Rani: Rajveer (Sartaj Gill) apologize for..
