In an interview aired last week by EBS’s TV’s Helen Show, an Ethiopian conflict resolution expert, Solomon Telahun stated that he was asked if he was a member of the (ruling) party when he had offered to teach courses in the The Institute for Peace and Security Studies (IPSS) at the Addis Ababa University. However, he did not give details regarding when the incident happened and the name of the official/role that used the pretext of party membership as a requirement and gatekeeping method to deny him service.
Before the coming to power of the Abiy Ahmed-led EPRDF team in April 2018, many members of the Ethiopian Diaspora, had been complaining that the Ethiopian regime’s bureaucracy denied them service or exhorted them based on their political inclinations or ethnicity.

Wheelchair tennis first appeared at the Barcelona 1992 Paralympic Games. Its rules are similar to Olympic doubles tennis, in that the ball is allowed to bounce twice, but at least one bounce must be inside the court.
Athletes who are eligible to compete must have permanent substantial or total loss of function in one or both legs. In the quad division, players must have an impairment in three or more limbs.
Men’s, women’s and quad singles and doubles events are contested at the Paralympic Games.
Who is eligible to compete in wheelchair tennis?
There are two classes in wheelchair tennis – Open and Quad.
A ball is made of two elastic hemispheres joined together and covered by a layer of wool and synthetic threads. Its colour must be yellow or white.
The first tennis rackets were wooden, and strings were made of ewe bowels. Tennis rackets today are made of technologically advanced material like graphite, with strings made of synthetic threads. Players may use a strap to help them hold the racket.
Wheelchair tennis chairs are lighter than most wheelchairs, to increase speed and manoeuvrability.
In singles competition, the court is 23.77m by 8.23m, and in doubles competition, it is 23.77m by 10.97m. The same court can be marked for singles and doubles. It is divided into two halves by a net, which extends at a height of 0.914m at its centre and 1.07m at its sides. There are four types of courts – clay, grass, hard and carpet.

Chico is a place known for its rich history and places to visit, but what about other small towns in California? Luckily there are several historic towns near Chico that can be visited within a day’s drive [especially if you leave by 8am]. Visiting an old historic town doesn’t really require a whole lot of planning. All that’s needed is to pack up the car with some food (in case you don’t want to go out to eat for each meal) and a change of clothes, now you just have to get in the car and go!
Below are a few historic towns that range from just an 1.5 hours to 4 hours away from Chico.
It's one of the easiest day trips to make with it only being an hour and thirty-nine minutes outside of Chico. Enjoy stepping back in time to the California Gold Rush while staring out onto the Sacramento River. Old Sac has everything from shopping, entertainment, dining, and historical attractions one can only experience in the old west.
Located just across the Bay from San Francisco, you’d never feel like you were close to the city. Experience some of the best views of the Golden Gate Bridge along with their famous Richardson Bay houseboat enclaves that were built by artist squatters after World War II. Take the thirty-minute boat ride from San Francisco and take a walk on the waterfront wandering through the shops and restaurants. Make sure you stop by and see the Bay Model, a 3-D representation of the San Francisco Bay built in the late 50’s.
Enjoy a day doing all the outdoor activities you can think of. Take a run, walk, or bike along the paved trail along Lake Tahoe. There are a variety of places to go mountain hiking or if you want to spend the night, places to camp lakeside. You can also spend the day on the lake paddle boarding or relaxing on the beach.
This may be the farthest away from Chico at around four hours, but it's definitely worth it, and if you can, we’d suggest making it into a weekend trip! Enjoy the famous Glass Beach or head on over to the Mendocino Coast Botanical Gardens. You can also take a ride on the Skunk Train which is an old steam train that will take you through the redwood-thick Noyo River Canyon and over the first tracks laid down in 1885.
Just under two hours from Chico lies the Old Historic Town of Auburn, the first place gold was discovered in Placer County. Now it’s a town that has events year-round to celebrate everything from old street fairs, a weekly farmer’s market, fall festivals, country Christmas, and more!
The place to go if you’re looking for picture perfect historic streets and it's only an hour and a half away from Chico! Walk down Broad Street, enjoy yummy baked goods, and visit the Empire Mine State Historic Park. You can also tour all the historic buildings such as the Nevada Theatre, County Courthouse, and Firehouses No. 1 and No. 2.
These may not be historic old towns, but they sure have their draw when it comes to the multitude of things you can do without having to go super far outside of Chico.
Located on the Sacramento River in Redding, you’ll be able to spend your day exploring and learning new things while among nature. You can take a leisurely walk across the Sundial Bridge, spend time roaming the park, or visit for an event or exhibition you think would be interesting. No matter what you decide to do when you get there we promise you won’t be disappointed.
With summer ending and fall just around the corner Apple Hill is the place to go to experience all that fall has to give. With the ability to pick your own apples, veggies, pears, grapes, and pumpkins it can be a family event or a fun activity with friends. You can also experience harvest events, pie contests, jam making, and haunted houses.
Want to spend your day relaxing drinking wine and learning where the grapes come from and the best food to pair it with? Visit one of the wineries close to Chico like New Clairvaux, Gale Vineyards, or Purple Line Urban Winery. For a bigger adventure you can head on down to Napa and go tasting at any one of the amazing wineries they have.
Looking to make more of a plan for your day trip? Try one of these awesome outdoor activities that aren’t too far away from Chico.
Sporting events have been gathering people together for decades. Whether you’re routing for or against the home team it’s always an experience that brings out people’s competitive side. Turn your day trip into a possible afternoon or evening trip and go watch one of the games below.
The Oakland Athletics [Major League Baseball] and the Oakland Raiders [National Football League] play their home games at Oakland Alameda Coliseum.
Once a horse track, Calistoga Speedway is now known nationwide for sprint car races. They have hosted some of the best drivers that later went on to win championships in races such as the United States Auto Club, the Indy Racing League, and NASCAR stock cars. There's still time to see the Louie Vermeil Classic and if you miss it there's always the Wine Country Showdown, check out the dates and tickets here.

What Trans Men See That Women Don’t. What an excellent article. I wish every man could experience something like this, just like I wish that white people could experience what it’s like to be a racial minority, straight people could be treated like a member of the LGBT community, etc. The world would be a much better place if people from majority groups had the chance to experience the less-pleasant parts of being outside the “mainstream” in some way.

One of the major concerns / barriers to people embarking on a university course seems to be an anxiety about being a mature student. Whilst perhaps understandable, I hope in this article to reassure you that your experience of university can be just as valuable and exciting as a mature student as someone going straight from school. Before I start, it is perhaps worth considering what a “mature student” is. Technically this is anyone aged 21 or over. Ok, being 21 or over captures most of us, but I think we can agree that we don’t feel we have much in common with a 21 year old (also, a great way to make us all feel old!). So, what would our experiences as a (much older) mature student be like? Firstly, you might think that you’d be alone going back to university as a mature student but Higher Education Statistics Agency (HESA) data from 2015/16 shows that a substantial proportion of students are aged 30 or over – 6% of full time undergraduates and almost 50% of part time undergraduates studying for their first degree. This increases to 23% and 62% respectively when looking at other undergraduates, and to 23% and 67% respectively when considering postgraduate courses. Ok, 30 is still quite young but I, for one, feel better thinking about mature students as 30+ rather than 21+ (I can at least pretend to be young….!).
Why go back to university?
There are lots of reasons why you might choose to go back to University (or enrol on vocational courses). This might be preparation for a career change or to develop your skills in your existing role to help you along the career path. Success after graduation is generally high with many people finding employment following completion of their degree – the HESA estimates this was at least 75% for undergraduates and 85% for postgraduates in 2014/151. Whatever your reason, I would argue that you need to understand why you have made this decision for yourself. The reason I say this is that university can be hard, especially if you have other commitments (e.g. work, family) and/or are struggling with finances. Holding onto the reasons why you are back in education will help you to overcome any challenges which come your way.
I don’t want to be the voice of doom (although I have several colleagues who will probably argue this is what I spend most of my time doing!), and I do believe university to be a worthwhile venture (I am a lecturer after all so my livelihood depends on me thinking it’s a good idea!). However, as the old proverb goes, to be forewarned is to be forearmed and so it is worth highlighting some of the issues which might come up to help you prepare for taking the plunge.
Mature students face a range of challenges in education. However, these challenges are not unsurmountable and there is a lot of support in place to help you.
Whatever your reasons for going to university as a mature student, this should be a rewarding experience. Do your homework and make sure the institution and course are right for you. Work out your timescales and budgets in advance – for example, you might find a part time course will suit you better in terms of managing both time and money. Remember universities should be well accustomed to catering for the needs of mature students and they have support systems in place for you. However, the quality of this support can vary so I recommend checking what is available when you apply. Also, if possible, have a chat with other mature students already studying at the university you plan to attend – this will help you gain a realistic view of the mature student experience before you sign on the dotted line.

Branching plumes of tiny creamy-white flowers appear in June and July above the deeply cut green foliage. Emerging in spring with a bronze flush the foliage will turn buttery yellow in autumn before it dies back. This is a slowly spreading perennial which will gradually form dense clumps so it makes a very effective groundcover for moist shady beds. For the best results choose a spot that remains reliably moist over summer.
Garden care: Cut back the flowered stems back hard to just above ground-level in autumn and apply a generous mulch of well-rotted garden compost or manure around the base of the plant.

In this episode of Did You Know, Preeti Parikh explains an often confusing subject matter - medical insurance. Dr. Parikh defines deductibles, copays, and coinsurance, in addition to explaining how insurance billing works.
00:04 Jim's a lot like you.
00:05 He's got a family, friends, and a job.
00:09 His job offers him health insurance.
00:12 It's a benefit he knows is important for him and his family.
00:19 Hey, Jim, did you know health insurance doesn't have to be so confusing?
00:25 Jim signed up for a good health insurance plan when he was hired.
00:28 His plan costs $1,000 a month.
00:36 every week $100 is deducted from his paycheck to pay his portion of the costs.
00:43 the receptionist asks him to pay a small fee for the visit.
00:47 This is called a copay.
00:49 Jim pays the same fee every time he or his family goes to the doctor.
00:56 Thankfully, Jim's visit is just for his annual checkup.
01:02 and many routine tests are often called well visits.
01:07 Meaning you visit the doctor to stay well.
01:14 Jim won't be charged anything other than his copay.
01:19 For Jim's wife, well visits include her checkups and tests like mammograms.
01:26 Today Jim is sick and visits the doctor.
01:29 The doctor ran some tests and the good news is, Jim will be okay.
01:35 A few weeks later, Jim gets a $175 bill for the visit.
01:46 tests, minus the copay Jim paid at the office.
01:51 Although Jim has insurance, he has to pay this bill out of his pocket.
01:59 his insurance company starts to pay after he has paid a set amount.
02:03 This is called a deductible.
02:06 Deductibles can vary by plan, but Jim's is $500.
02:13 his insurance company starts to pay his medical bills.
02:22 $500 next year before his insurance starts to pay for his doctor visit.
02:27 Now some insurance plans have something called coinsurance.
02:36 in this case, Jim, even after the deductible has been met.
02:41 For this example, we'll say Jim's coinsurance is 10%.
02:45 Jim gets sick and goes to the doctor again.
02:49 He pays the copay and a few weeks later gets a bill for $17.50.
02:58 Jim's doctor charges $200 for the office visit and tests.
03:03 Jim paid the $25 copay in the office.
03:10 the rest of the bill, minus 10% coinsurance.
03:15 That 10% is $17.50, and is billed for Jim to pay.
03:22 Jim's plan is a standard type of plan.
03:24 But there are other types, some with high deductibles and copays.
03:33 and plans that cost less every month have higher deductibles.
03:38 It's important for you to look at all your options when you're choosing a plan.
03:41 Take into account how often your family might need to visit the doctor.
03:50 so you're not surprised by unexpected bills.

Parksdale web development and Parksdale web design specializes in, or is specifically engaged in, the development of World Wide Web applications, or distributed network applications that are run over HTTP from a web server to a web browser.
Web development in Parksdale is a broad term for the work involved in developing a web site for the Internet (World Wide Web) or an intranet (a private network). Web development can range from developing the simplest static single page of plain text to the most complex web-based internet applications, electronic businesses, and social network services. A more comprehensive list of tasks to which web development commonly refers, may include web design, web content development, client liaison, client-side/server-side scripting, web server and network security configuration, and e-commerce development. Among Parksdale web professionals, “web development” usually refers to the main non-design aspects of building web sites: writing markup and coding. Most recently Parksdale web development has come to mean the creation of content management systems or CMS. These CMS can be made from scratch, proprietary (such as OpenText), or open source (such as Drupal). In broad terms the CMS acts as middleware between the database and the user through the browser. A principle benefit of a CMS is that it allows non-technical people to make changes to their Web site without having technical knowledge.
Web developers in Parksdale are found working in all types of organizations, including large corporations and governments, small and medium – sized companies, or alone as freelancers. Some web developers work for one organization as a permanent full-time employee, while others may work as independent consultants, or as contractors for an employment agency. Parksdale web developers typically handle both server-side and front-end logic. This usually involves implementing all the visual elements that users see and use in the web application, as well as all the web services and APIs that are necessary to power the front-end.
Web applications undergo the same unit, integration and system testing as traditional desktop applications. But because Parksdale web application clients vary so greatly, teams might perform some additional testing.
For larger organizations and businesses, Parksdale web development teams can consist of hundreds of people (web developers) and follow standard methods like Agile methodologies while developing websites. Smaller organizations may only require a single permanent or contracting developer, or secondary assignment to related job positions such as a graphic designer and/or information systems technician. Web development may be a collaborative effort between departments rather than the domain of a designated department.
Since the commercialization of the web, Parksdale web development has been a growing industry. The growth of this industry is being pushed especially by businesses wishing to sell products and services to online customers.
An ever growing set of tools and technologies have helped Parksdale web developers build more dynamic and interactive websites. Further, Parksdale web developers now help to deliver applications as web services which were traditionally only available as applications on a desk-based computer. This has allowed for many opportunities to decentralize information and media distribution. Examples can be seen with the rise of cloud services such as Dropbox, Adobe Creative Cloud and Microsoft’s Office 365. These web services allow users to interact with applications from many locations, instead of being tied to a specific workstation for their application environment.
Examples of dramatic transformation in communication and commerce led by Parksdale web development include e-commerce. Online auction-sites such as eBay have changed the way consumers find and purchase goods and services. Online retailers such as Amazon.com and Buy.com (among many others) have transformed the shopping and bargain-hunting experience for many consumers. Another good example of transformative communication led by web development is the blog. Web applications such as Parksdale WordPress development and Movable Type have created easily implemented blog-environments for individual web sites. The popularity of open-source content management systems such as Joomla!, Drupal, XOOPS, and TYPO3 and enterprise content management systems such as Alfresco and eXo Platform have extended web development’s impact at online interaction and communication.
Parksdale web development has also impacted personal networking and marketing. Parksdale websites are no longer simply tools for work or for commerce, but serve more broadly for communication and social networking. Websites such as Facebook and Twitter provide users with a platform to communicate and organizations with a more personal and interactive way to engage the public.

our fall covergirl chats with us about her office decor style.
Our Fall 2015 cover girl chats with us about maximalism, personal touches at the office, and Sour Patch Kids. Needless to say, we’re listening. Read on to learn more about Mindy, and don’t miss her cover story here!
WHAT DECOR ELEMENT DO YOU LOVE THAT EVERYONE ELSE HATES?
I love bright patterns and colors. All my LA friends are so minimalist, and I’m very maximalist.
WE LOVE SEEING YOUR FASHION-FOCUSED INSTAGRAMS. DO ANY OF YOUR TASTES IN FASHION CARRY OVER INTO YOUR WORKSPACE OR HOME?
I’ve always attempted to have a “less is more” aesthetic, but the problem is, I love stuff. I love layers and embellishments and complication.
WHO IN YOUR LIFE HAS THE BEST SENSE OF INTERIOR DESIGN?
My best friend Brenda Withers has always had the cleanest and most elegant sense of design. In college, sometimes she would have a bare wall and hang a beautiful dress on a hanger on it, as the only piece of “art.” This was when I had, like, a “You’ve Got Mail” poster up, so that was pretty impressive.
HAS SHE EVER HELPED YOU STYLE YOUR HOME OR WORKSPACE?
She could never begin to tame my sprawling tastes.
WHAT DECOR ELEMENTS MAKE YOU FEEL MOST PRODUCTIVE?
IF YOU COULD SPEND THE NIGHT IN ANY RETAIL STORE WHAT STORE WOULD IT BE?
Dylans Candy Bar, of course. By morning I’d be dead of sugar poisoning.
WHAT FRAGRANCE DO YOU KEEP AT THE OFFICE? DO YOU USE SIMILAR SCENTS AT HOME?
I have an aversion to too much scent and have long thought candles were pretentious for some reason. Then my friend Ben Feldman (who played my boyfriend on my show) gave me a Jo Malone English Pear and Freesia candle and I lit it one day out of boredom. It smelled so good and now I’m hooked on candles.
DO YOU BRING ANY DECOR ITEMS FROM HOME OR OFFICE WITH YOU WHEN YOU TRAVEL?
No. I wish I was someone who had a favorite blanket that she brought with her on planes, but I lose all my stuff too much.
ANY ADVICE FOR PROFESSIONALS WHO WANT TO MAKE THEIR OFFICE FEEL A BIT MORE PERSONAL?
Most of my “artwork” is just framed private jokes from friends. Text exchanges and funny drawings. I love that, it always makes me smile when I look at it.
WHAT IS ONE ITEM THAT’S BEEN PRESENT IN EVERY OFFICE YOU’VE EVER HAD?
A cup or dish to hold Sour Patch Kids!

I attended a very interesting lecture today in Normandy. The lecturer, Carlos Pimentel, talked about the origins of pluralism as a political phenomenon. He analysed the birth of bipartisanship in England, and its gradual acceptance. He explained that at first, political parties were denounced as being seditious and they were associated with civil strife. They were condemned because they were seen as threats to the social order, the national consensus, and the unity of the State. He showed how political parties introduced in British politics a dual tension, that of consensus and conflict. I though it would be interesting to apply his analysis to what’s happening in Lebanon.
Following their active participation in the Civil war, and almost systematic transformation into armed militias, the Lebanese political parties were much discredited. New political groups hesitated to call themselves parties in order not to be linked or equated with militias; two of the largest political formations in Lebanon consequently call themselves Tayyar (which means ‘Current’ or ‘Trend’ but is usually translated to ‘Movement’): The Free Patriotic Movement (FPM) and Future Movement (FM).
Similarly to late 17th century England, political polarisation in Lebanon is extreme. But instead of having two opposing parties such as the Whigs and the Tories, Lebanon has two large, heterogeneous and cross-communal coalitions. On one side, we have the parliamentary majority coalition spearheaded by Hariri’s Future Movement [mostly Sunni] and Joumblat’s Progressive Socialist Party (PSP) [quasi exclusively Druze]. On the other, we have the new opposition led by Hassan Nasrallah’s Hezbollah [Shiite based] and Aoun’s Free Patriotic Movement (FPM) [Christian based].
This polarisation has brought about a very intense nation-wide debate over conflict and consensus. Many accusations (and curses) are exchanged by both sides, and the opponent is often perceived and denounced as a foreign agent, a tool used by foreign powers to achieve their aims in Lebanon. This accusation is widespread in cases of extreme polarisation. It shows a crisis in confidence between two opposing parties. The conflicting element overrides the initial consensus admitting that both parties are legitimate players in the political game. In the case of Lebanon, the confessional diversity and the communal polarisation (Sunni and Druze on one side, and Shiite on the other) obviously complicate the matter.
Asile, a French NGO, set up a Franco-Palestinian friendship house in Beddawi, a Palestinian camp situated a couple of miles north of Tripoli. Two days ago, there was trouble in this camp, after the police discovered an arm stash. But this didn’t stop us from going there.
It was the third time this year I entered a Palestinian camp. During this first visit, I started to notice how familiar they had become to me. Architecturally, they didn’t differ much from the neighbouring towns or cities. The only distinctive signs were political, and they were to be found everywhere, on walls, on banners, in street names… All posters, names, graffiti, wall drawings, streamers and flags were political, and they all referred to Palestine.
The Franco-Palestinian friendship house has been operating in Lebanon for several years now. Its main activity takes place in summer when a team of artists, educators, journalists and animators fly in from France to start a three week workshop that is proposed to children living in the camp.
The team that operates the house is entirely Palestinian and quite young and dynamic. They are now proposing academic support lessons to children, and some cultural activities (such as a weekly film projection). I really enjoyed the dynamism in this group and would greatly enjoy working with them. They are all Palestinian francophone. They graduated from the handful of francophone schools UNRWA operates in Lebanon. I wonder if we could associate them in the coming future to a program managed by Peace Initiatives in collaboration with AILES, a Lebanese association proposing similar activities. This could help to bridge the two communities and to increase the outreach of the programs of each association.
What never fails to amaze me is the extent to which the Palestinian accent is preserved in the Palestinian camps, some Lebanese expressions are used, and some Palestinian expressions are dropped, and I’m sure the Palestinian living in the camps no longer share the dialect spoken by those still living in Northern Israel, but they retain inflections, expressions and an accent that is easily identifiable as Palestinian. But those who have been to a Lebanese University to complete their studies also master the Lebanese dialect and can quite aptly switch from one to another. This duality is also to be found during presentations when they decline two geographic identities, that of the village their forefathers left in Palestine, and that of the camp or Lebanese locality they live in.
In 2002, the world was surprised to hear that the suicide bomber that had just exploded himself in a shopping mall in Israel was actually a woman.
Up to then, all suicide bombers had been men. Accordingly, the Palestinian male population that was over 15 and under 70 became suspect. They were seen by Israelis as being potentially suicide bombers. When a young woman exploded herself, almost every Palestinian could be suspected by the Israelis of being a suicide bomber.
Two days ago, a 57 year old woman, Fatma Najar, became the first grandma kamikaze. She was the mother of 9 children and the grand-mother of over 20 kids. In a tape she had recorded before dying, she claimed to have been sent by Hamas on this suicide mission. “I offer myself as a sacrifice to God and to the homeland,” she said.
One of her sons, Fuad (31 y/o), told the press that he was very proud of what his mother did. “God is greatest” (Allahu Akbar), he added.
This attack is unquestionably criminal, even though it is meant as a form of resistance to Israeli occupation. But it is also very tragic because it shows how desperate the Palestinians are today and how worthless and meaningless life has become to many of them.
One cannot help but remember the Palestinian film ‘Paradise Now’ that portrayed the last days of two palestinian suicide bombers.
Samir Chartouni, Pierre Gemayel’s bodyguard shot dead on Tuesday, was brought back to his native village of Chartoun (in the Aley region) for his burial. The convoy that transported him was stopped in Aley by PSP militants, who took his coffin draped in the Kataeb flag, and carried it on their shoulders to Chartoun. The image was quite striking because these two parties had fought each others in 1983 and the war that ensued resulted in ethnic clensing and the expulsion of the Christians of Chartoun by the Druze militia (PSP) that attacked them from Aley.
This image seems to translate the intercommunal reconciliation that Walid Joumblatt mentions so often: Druze and Christians, PSP and Kataeb, comming together, accepting one others, admitting their political differences and uniting nevertheless.
But how does that reconciliation operate? How can one explain that Druze villagers and PSP partisans accept to carry a coffin wrapped in a Kataeb flag, the symbol of their ‘traditionnal ennemy’? Are bygones really bygones? One can only hope that they are, but it seems quite unlikely.
One must keep in mind that the reconciliation process was State funded and Zaïm operated. No tribunal or commission was set up to estimate the damages incured by the ‘displaced’, and the authority that was incharge of the file chose a very personalised manner to conduct the process. Instead of working on indivudual bases, it decided to operate on collective ones, village by village, through a ceremony in which the reconciliation was solemnly declared.

Through this means, the returnees who had been ethnically cleansed out of the region, and their former foes (who had participated in their expulsion, or profited from it).
Through this mean, the populations of the areas that suffered the displacement were not given ownership of the process. This was left in the hands of their political leader. It is true that the two communities are brought together, but through the mediation of a Zaïm in the beginning, and then several. In other words, a distance is kept between the two communities so that the Zaïm could keep on “bridging” them together. But what happens when he decides to break with one community? Would the flock that he controls through varried means keep the ties or follow him?
Since yesterday evening, journalists and politicians alike have been speculating on the identity of the perpetrator. They have been asking themselves the very classical whodunit question: who benefits from the crime. This kind of questionning is not very helpful because instead of revealing the criminal’s motives, it constructs a theory founded on hindsight.
The Syrian regime has argued justly that its opponents in Lebanon have gained the most from Gemayel’s death. It enabled them to mobilise hundreds of thousands of Lebanese in support of the Government at a time when the opposition was preparing for demonstrations. It also tightened the alliance between the Lebanese opponents to the Syrian regime and strengthened the Christian parties within this alliance. Put together, the Kataeb, the Lebanese Forces, the National Bloc, the National Liberal Party, the Democratic Left and the Democratic Renewal party hardly mustered a third of the Christian votes during the 2005 parliamentary elections.
The killing of a Gemayel, an important political symbol for the Christians, triggered a strong emotional wave in the Christian regions that was greatly exploited by several political parties and the media that is linked to them. This wave was directed against Michel Aoun, the leader of the Free Patriotic Movement (FPM), who gathered most of the Christian votes in 2005. His portraits were burnt, the party flags destroyed, his supporters harrassed and blamed as being responsible for the killing.
Amine Gemayel, the father of the assassinated Minister, refused to talk to Michel Aoun and accept his condoleances. And flags of the Kataeb party were raised everywhere.
Pierre Gemayel’s funeral was transformed into a massive political rally and those who participated in it or watched it, felt that they were witnessing the rebirth of the Kataeb, once Lebanon’s largest party.
This exploitation has encouraged supporters of the FPM to claim that the assassination was an inside job done by someone within the governing coalition. In other words, the polarisation within the Christian community is so strong that most people hold very improbable views and elaborate conspiracy theories holding the FPM accountable to the minister’s death, or one of the former minister’s political allies. As one minister said, if they go on with these theories, they will soon be claiming that Pierre Gemayel actually committed suicide.
Pierre Gemayel was Minister of Industry in the present government. At age 34, he was the youngest member of the Council of Ministers in which he represented the Kataeb party. He was the eldest son of the former President of the Republic, Amine Gemayel, and grandson of the founder of the Kataeb Party.
During the last parliamentary election, he ran in the Metn, a constituency that had been dominated politically by the Kataeb for decades. It is in this region that his family, the Gemayels, have their hometown (Bikfaya). They are considered to be one of its important political families alongside twenty or thirty others. The political ascension of the Gemayel family started in the 1930s with the foundation of the Kataeb party (also known as the Phalange party) and its gradual rise to power. From the late sixties until the mid eighties, this party was considered to be Lebanon’s largest in number of MPs, adherents, and socio-political weight (strength in the public administration, local councils, the syndicates and the media). Pierre Gemayel’s grandfather and namesake was one of the party’s founders and became its undisputed and unrivalled leader for over 40 years. He was very often minister and two of his sons, Bachir and Amine made it consecutively to the Presidency in 1982. But after the assassination of Bechir Gemayel, the unpopular presidency of Amine Gemayel, and the natural death of their father, the Gemayel family and the Kataeb party lost ground and started decomposing.
In the 2005 parliamentary elections, the Kataeb was unable to get any of its candidates elected without the support of its allies or opponents. In Baabda-Aley, it owes its success to Muslim and Druze votes, gathering a little more than a third of the expressed Christian votes. In the Metn, which was considered the bastion of the Phalange and where the Gemayels portray themselves and behave as a prominent family of feudal rank, Pierre Gemayel was the only member of the former opposition slate to make it through, with approximately a third of the expressed votes and only because the rival and triumphant slate had left an empty seat for him or his ally, Nassib Lahoud (another member of a political family), to fill.
Withstanding his meagre political score, the “March 14th Alliance” (Hariri’s Future Movement, Joumblatt’s PSP and a cluster of local Christian politicians) chose him as one of the Maronite ministers in Siniora’s government. And since then, this alliance has tried to portray him as a Christian leader (alongside Nayla Moawad, Samir Frangieh, Amine Gemayel and Samir Geagea), with the support of most of the Media and prominent Maronite clerics, to give him the “Christian” credentials and legitimacy that he lacks. Thus, calling him a ‘key politician’, a ‘prominent leader’ or ‘Christian political leader’, as the press has been dubbing him since his death seems to be somewhat of an exageration.
Nevertheless, his name resonates in the Christian community and carries a very strong symbolic weight because of what his grandfather and uncle represented. They came to represent the symbols of Christian political and military power starting in the sixties and culminating during the civil war when they controlled the Christian ‘heartland’.
As a politician, Pierre Gemayel (the younger) was very vocal in his criticism of Syria and Iran, and those that he accused of being their allies: Amal, Hezbollah, the FPM (Free patriotic movement). His political foes called him Pipo-pebble (Pipo being a common pet name given to Pierre, and pebble is a reference to his grandfather who was called the ‘Rock’ a pun derived from the meaning of his Christian name, which signifies ‘stone’ in French). With the help of a very supportive media, the backing of the governing political class and due to his personal human qualities, he seems to have benefited lately from a growing support. Moreover, one can say that he was one of the many Christian politicians used by the governing majority to obtain a cross-communal legitimacy. His greatest strength lay in his name and party affiliation, and what they could echo within the Christian community (though it wasn’t enough to get him elected in a Christian constituency).
For the past week, I have been hearing people question the meaning of celebrating independence day this year, amid the political crisis that’s has been growing, with the resignation of six ministers and the calls for demonstrations and strikes coming from Hezbollah and the FPM.
I couldn’t understand why we shouldn’t be celebrating our recovered independence. Withstanding the interference of a dozen countries in our internal affairs and the presence of a large multinational force in the south of the country, our elected politicians are in control of public affairs and use their links with embassies to further their goal. It’s more of a local exploitation of international ties, than international meddling in local politics.
These debates and discussions seem futile and remote today, after the brutal assassination of Pierre Gemayel by unmasked men in broad daylight.
One thing is for certain, the day was one of sorrow and morning and all celebrations and official gatherings were cancelled.
Pierre Gemayel fell earlier today into a well-coordinated attack: One vehicle cut off his car from the front, another rammed him from behind, then gunmen burst out and sprayed a dozen bullets into his driver-side window, killing him and one of his bodygards, Samir Chartouni.
The young Minister of Industry was driving back from a funeral he had attended in Jdeideh. He had been accomplishing his ‘social duties’ as a any traditionnal lebanese politician by visiting their constituency on socially important occasions (baptism, mariage, funeral, commemoration). Earlier that day, he had attended a wreath-laying ceremony in his hometown, infront of a Mausoleum-like monument built for his Grandfather and namesake by the Kataeb Party, controled by his father, former president Amine Gemayel.
The slaying set off small outbursts of emotions and calls for revenge. Bands of young Christians broke car windows and burned tires and garbage cans in the eastern neighbourhoods of Beirut and its suburbs. The former president, and father of the assassinated politician joined other politicians in their calls for calm. The Lebanese army quickly stopped the unrest and set up checkpoints to prevent urther demonstrations.
On national TV, Lebanese journalists and politicians started analysing the assassination. And having no information yet on the identity of the killers started speculating on their identity and intentions.
It’s actually more of an art than a science, and it consists of transforming dead people into martyrs. The transformation is in truth more of a transfiguration or a transubstantiation. At first the portrayal of the dead person is very noticeably modified, in a very positive and spiritual way, and then his core substance or identity is transfromed, raising it above its human condition and adding an ethereal and saintly quality to it.
This is very visible in the portrayal of some politicians who are representend in many posters alongside religious elements and visual borrowings from religious iconography.
Lately, the political class followed by the media has created a new typology with ‘living martyrs’ besides martyrs. The living martyrs are those who have survived an assassination attempt, and the martyrs are those who were not so lucky. Their death is transformed into a heroic and salvatory act. Here again we notice a religious interpretation, with a lot of reference to the redemptive quality of the blood that they spilt.
Cela fait plus d’un an que votre journal et ses nombreux éditorialistes font campagne, s’inscrivent dans le combat politique de certains politiciens, usent d’un ton partisan et moralisateur. Au départ, cela pouvait être justifié par la théorie des circonstances exceptionnelles. Le Liban vivait un moment important de son histoire, celui de sa libération du joug syrien. Il est possible de comprendre que les journalistes veuillent participer à cet effort, y contribuer avec les moyens à leur disposition. Mais pendant combien de temps peut-on justifier de l’abandon des règles élémentaires du journalisme au nom des circonstances exceptionnelles? A quel moment doit-on prendre conscience que ces pratiques qui perdurent se transforment en mauvais pli, et que la presse libanaise y perd son caractère justement exceptionnel dans l’espace arabophone.
Avez-vous compté dernièrement le nombre d’éditorialistes parmi vos journalistes politiques ? Est-ce que cela ne vous ennuie pas que leurs informations proviennent quasi-exclusivement d’un échange téléphonique, d’un déjeuner ou d’un dîner avec un politicien ou un ambassadeur ? N’avez-vous pas senti une certaine convergence gênante entre eux et leurs sources ? Comment le justifiez-vous ?
On pourrait penser que c’est une sorte de retour du refoulé ; une réaction du journalisme libanais longtemps soumis à un système de censure puis d’autocensure qu’il avait pleinement intégré. N’utilisait-il pas les règles journalistiques comme paravent à cette autocensure durant ces longues années d’influence syrienne, d’abord diffuse au sein de la classe politique puis (malencontreusement pour ses bénéficiaires) centralisée sous les auspices d’une seule autorité ?
Personnellement, je n’arrive pas à comprendre ce mauvais pli et encore moins à l’accepter. Et je remarque une nouvelle tendance qui m’inquiète, un recours progressif dans le discours politique et journalistique à un discours et à des référents religieux. J’en ai noté au moins six dans votre dernier éditorial qui trait d’un ancien chef de milice : Martyrs, lavé du crime, ‘forces du mal’, ‘comme transfiguré’ ‘épris de paix et de sagesse’, enfer.
Comme quoi, en dépit des conflits politiques et des prises de positions divergentes, les politiciens, hommes de religion et journalistes libanais se retrouvent au moins au niveau du vocabulaire.
I talked to an Israeli youth activist today, in private, in public and in front of a camera. I couldn’t understand what all the fuss was about. Why should anyone care if I talked to an Israeli or not? Why does it even interest the media? and why did the other participants refuse to do it or acknowledge it?
I’ve been brought up with the idea that it was prohibited, but is it really? Is there a law against it? Can anyone give me a reference to this law?
Even if this law existed, how come those who talked to a Knesset member who came to Beirut through Syria were not prosecuted? Is it because Azmi Bichara is not jewish? What kind of selective justice is that?
In Nicosia, the flags are used as a language. On one side we see the turkish flag and the northern flag, in the south we see the greek flag and the southern flag. This display doesn’t follow any institutional reason, the southern republic has no institutional ties with Greece and follows no panhellenic program. The only reason the Greek flag is flying is to parallel the Turkish flag that is flying on the other side. It’s dialogic.

YULAI – Capsuleers across the Federation were caught off guard yesterday evening by the appearance of a DED Special Weapons and Tactics unit that originated from their operational headquarters in Genesis.
Headed up by DED SWAT Director Arve Vesren, the task force was part of an ongoing investigation into the integrity of Federal border security in the wake of the Evaulon incident, in which over a quarter of a million Federal citizens lost their lives to a planetary assault orchestrated by the Serpentis Corporation.
Consisting of a trio of Marshal-class battleships, the patrol made its way across Genesis into Federal space, stopping in Luminaire and Algogille before crossing into the Caldari Border Zone system of Kassigainen. After returning and making contact with Federal Tripwire personnel, the DED vessels then carried on to Stacmon before finally coming to rest in Dodixie, the largest trade hub in the Federation, where they were met with verbal hostility from capsuleers.
According to several reports, no in-space aggression was committed against DED forces, and that the three battleships returned to Genesis this morning unmolested after an overnight stay with Federation Navy hospitality. A statement this morning from Director Vesren officially confirmed last night's patrol, and cited the reason for its presence within Federal space as "a part of the ongoing investigation into the reasoning behind several severe breaches in Federal border security in recent months." Director Versren finished her statement with the assurance that "as a result of this investigation, a full report is being prepared for the Federal Intelligence Office that includes recommendations for improvements to Federal border security in Placid, Essence and Verge Vendor."
Thoun Gaterau, Lead Field Agent for the prestigious Villore Division of the Federal Intelligence office this afternoon also released a statement claiming that "the Federation Navy and Federal Intelligence Office were happy to host the Director Vesren and her wingmen for the evening, and will continue to co-operate fully with any reasonable requests that The CONCORD Assembly should have throughout the course of their investigation." When questioned by the press regarding the status of the Federation Navy Tripwire program and discussions between DED and Federal Military personnel, Agent Gaterau declined to comment further.

Learning to Cook After 40: Feeling Lucky Lately!
I hadn't been entering very many sweepstakes and contests for a while, but I recently have started up when I can. I stopped, not because I wasn't winning stuff, but because I was spending too much time on it. Now, when I can, I enter a few (or a few dozen) depending on the amount of time I have. For the most part, I have only been entering blog contests. I choose them because they are easy to enter, and the chances are higher. If there are a lot of entries (posts) I don't bother to enter unless I really want the prize. And, the other difference is I don't enter unless it is something I could really use.
WOW! I just finished assembling this post. Prior to January, my last Win email was in September. Since January, I have won more than a dozen prizes! Over $500 + a prize worth over $1500! That puts my 3 month total at over $2000!

text: The distinction between proper names and common names is that proper names denote a unique entity e.g. London Bridge, while common names are used in a more general sense in reference to a class of objects e.g. bridge. Many proper names are obscure in meaning as they lack any apparent meaning in the way that ordinary words mean, probably for the practical reason that when they consist of Collective nouns, they refer to groups, even when they are inflected for the singular e.g. "committee". Concrete nouns like “cabbage” refer to physical bodies that can be observed by at least one of the senses while abstract nouns, like “love” and ���hate” refer to abstract objects. In English, many abstract nouns are formed by adding noun-forming suffixes ("-ness", "-ity", "-tion") to adjectives or verbs e.g. "happiness", "serenity", “concentration”. Pronouns like "he", "it", "which", and "those" stand in place of nouns in noun phrases.

When young, we had the time to socialize. As an adult, you need to leverage the little time you have to build a social life and make friends as an adult.
If you want to make friends in a new city, don’t expect it to be easy and perfect. Instead, expect it to be a learning experience, and get curious about it.
If you’re an introvert, then socializing and making friends can feel weird and awkward. Maybe you have tried to imitate the ways extroverted people use to socialize and connect with friends… and realized how unnatural and ineffective it is. In this article, I share with you what to do instead.
Do you sometimes wonder how you can “start over” in your social life, and build or join a great circle of friends? In this article, I explain why following typical friendship advice can lead you to nothing but more loneliness, and what to do instead to get a Social Circle.
Did you know that the skill of meeting new people is CRITICAL when it comes to having good friends, and avoiding loneliness?
In fact, it is the skill that makes or breaks your ability to have a social life that you can enjoy.
One the most counter-intuitive things about friendship is that it requires a certain level of trust, from the start. For instance, if you want to make friends with someone, you have to reveal some personal information about yourself.

"This is one of the surprise sleeper wines of the vintage which has more successes than many people suspect in spite of all the rain. The tremendous drainage enjoyed by the Haut Brion vineyard worked in its favor during this wet September harvest. The color is deep plum/ruby with a bit of lightening at the edge. Notes of compost, truffle, earth, spice box, dried herbs, and licorice compete with sweet black cherry and currant fruit. The wine is medium-bodied, with a relatively plump, chewy feel to it. It is certainly one of the top half dozen or so wines of the vintage.
Montrose has been one of Bordeaux's most consistently successful chateaux since 1989. An opaque purple color suggests a wine of considerable intensity. One of the most successful 1994s of the northern Medoc, the wine's closed aromatics offer jammy black fruits, plums, spice, and earth. On the palate, there is impressive extract, purity, and copious amounts of sweet blackcurrant fruit nicely balanced by moderate yet ripe tannin. Medium-bodied, with excellent to outstanding concentration, this impressive Montrose should be close to full maturity with another 4-5 years of cellaring.

As members of the Cascadia bioregion, we all share a similar culture. Our bioregion is special as a result of the unique qualities that makes it Cascadia. The mountain ranges that provide us with fresh water and unique fauna, and the ocean coast that brings us vast sea life provides us with a culture that bonds us through natural resources.
These bonds unite us in ways that laws or politics cannot, and these bonds allow us to foster a close-knit community that works together to protect the environment which shapes our culture.
It is imperative to the health and sustainability of our wondrous bioregion that we rally together with others who love the Cascadia bioregion as much as we do. We all know of the many threats that our environment and community faces. By joining others with similar goals and passions, we can magnify the impact of each person. As a community, creating a new culture of sustainability becomes possible.
We had the chance to talk with Valerie Edwards, a fellow Cascadian who has been demonstrating her passion for cultivating a community who care about a common issue. She has organized a group named Sole Survivors who will be pushing each other through the Federal Way Coalition Against Trafficking – Break the Chains 5K.
Our bioregion and home is very important. Protecting it from environmental threats requires that we work together. “It brings a sense of urgency that there are issues here, close to you, your family that threatens our safety net, not several hundreds miles away,” Valerie said.
“The community can create a sense of non tolerant issues that threaten the community. If education is available, it helps to create a safer path for the community by ways of expectations, which the ending result would be better lifestyle choices,” she continued.
Stay tuned for the fourth principle of bioregional living: Land Use and Wildlife by Mariah Edwards-Heflin.

North Queensland provides a culinary exploration journey to the self-proclaimed food lovers who cannot get enough of its delicious offerings. The tropical region is blessed with an abundance of food and postcard-perfect locales. You can get your hands on a variety of fruits, nuts, native spices and seafood which will make you come back for more. The local markets and restaurants are flooded with people who love to cook and devour sumptuous meals prepared using the fresh local produce.

From family picnics to business luncheons and intimate dinners, people are thronging the eateries to rejoice and relish the food. The traditions have been changing with an increase in the purchasing power of the locals who don’t mind paying money for good food prepared by a celebrated chef.
Although the income of the people has increased, their leisure time has decreased considerably. The working population is stuck in challenging jobs that demand erratic timings and busy schedules. Often couples find it difficult to spend quality time with kids in the highly competitive corporate world. Though the weekend outings are still very much a part of the family time, the weekdays are now utilised to order takeaway food. The shift towards ordering food online or grabbing the food packages has become the latest fad across the country. A long day at work ensures that nobody wants to enter the kitchen and the traffic-filled ride home dashes all hopes of setting out again for dinner. This is the reason why takeaway shops are flourishing and making huge profits. Besides the food industry, cafe for sale in North Queensland are making waves in the industry circles for their profitable output.
All the restaurants have now included the takeaway service to cash in on the latest trend to hit the market. Smartphone apps like UberEats and Deliveroo are stepping up the game by offering the chance to get the food to your house without any delay. Thus the customer doesn’t need to make an effort and the food will get laid out on the table. This business has given entrepreneurs new ways of wooing the consumers and spending less on ambience and service. Many who could not afford to open a full-service restaurant have now jumped at the idea of selling takeaway food. The sector has a big market in the US already and has found a niche in Australia too.

BATON ROUGE, La. – U.S. Rep. Bobby Jindal easily defeated 11 opponents and became the state's first nonwhite governor since Reconstruction, decades after his parents moved to the state from India to pursue the American dream.
Jindal, a 36-year-old Republican, will be the nation's youngest governor. He had 53 percent with 625,036 votes with about 92 percent of the vote tallied. It was more than enough to win Saturday's election outright and avoid a Nov. 17 runoff.
"My mom and dad came to this country in pursuit of the American dream. And guess what happened. They found the American dream to be alive and well right here in Louisiana," he said to cheers and applause at his victory party.
"I'm asking all of our supporters to get behind our new governor," Georges said in a concession speech.
The Oxford-educated Jindal had lost the governor's race four years ago to Gov. Kathleen Blanco. He won a congressional seat in conservative suburban New Orleans a year later but was widely believed to have his eye on the governor's mansion.
Blanco opted not to run for re-election after she was widely blamed for the state's slow response to hurricanes Katrina and Rita in 2005.
"My administration has begun readying for this change and we look forward to helping with a smooth transition," she said in a prepared statement. "I want to thank the people of Louisiana for the past four years, though there is still much work to do in my last few months as your governor."
Jindal, who takes office in January, pledged to fight corruption and rid the state of those "feeding at the public trough," revisiting a campaign theme.
"They can either go quietly or they can go loudly, but either way, they will go," he said, adding that he would call the Legislature into special session to address ethics reform.
Political analysts said Jindal built up support as a sort of "buyer's remorse" from people who voted for Blanco last time and had second thoughts about that decision. Blanco was widely criticized for the state's response to Hurricane Katrina and she announced months ago that she would not seek re-election.
"I think the Jindal camp, almost explicitly, (wanted) to cast it this way: If you were able to revote, who would you vote for?" said Pearson Cross, a University of Louisiana at Lafayette political scientist.
But the two multimillionaires in the race — Boasso, a state senator from St. Bernard Parish, and Georges, a New Orleans-area businessman — poured millions of their own dollars into their campaigns to try to prevent Jindal's victory.
Campbell, a public service commissioner from Bossier Parish, had less money but ran on a singular plan: scrapping the state income tax on businesses and individuals and levying a new tax on oil and gas processed in Louisiana.
The race was one of the highest-spending in Louisiana history. Jindal alone raised $11 million, and Georges poured about $10 million of his personal wealth into his campaign war chest while Boasso plugged in nearly $5 million of his own cash.
In India, Jindal's family members were proud, and were going to celebrate with the traditional Punjabi folk dance called bhangra.
"We're very proud that he has reached such a high position in the United States," said Subhash Jindal, a cousin who runs a pharmacy in the Jindal family's hometown in Maler Kotla in northern Punjab state.

The city of Augusta is located in Georgia near the state's border with South Carolina. It plays host to the Masters Tournament, the most lauded tournament in professional golf. Augusta is known for the Masters, but there are several other fascinating sides to this city. Here are five things you never knew about Augusta, home of the Masters.
Augusta was Georgia’s capital briefly during the American Revolution and then again from 1785 until 1795. In 1788, the Georgia state convention ratified the U.S. Constitution in the city. Georgia was the fourth state to ratify the Constitution and the first in the Deep South. Augusta wasn’t chartered as a city until 1798, so it was actually Georgia’s capital city before officially becoming a city itself.
President Woodrow Wilson, who was in office from 1913 to 1921, was born in Virginia but grew up in Augusta. Born in 1856, Wilson lived in Augusta from 1858 to 1870. His father was the pastor of Augusta’s First Presbyterian Church and his family owned a beautiful manse on Seventh Street. Wilson spent the “formative years of his life” in the city. He lived in Augusta during the Civil War and the Reconstruction before going to college in North Carolina. Today, you can visit his boyhood home, which is a National Historic Landmark and the oldest Presidential residence in the state. Guided tours begin on the hour every Thursday through Saturday.
Augusta has been either the hometown or burial place of 10 Confederate generals — Brig. Gen. Edward P. Alexander, Maj. Gen. Ambrose R. Wright and Gen. Marcellus A. Stovall, among others. “When the South needed generals during the Civil War, it often turned to Augustans,” the Augusta Chronicle says. Today, you can see monuments all over the city that have been dedicated to these men.
The Masters wasn’t always called the Masters; the title didn’t come about until 1939. The tournament began in 1934 and was originally known as the Augusta National Invitational. That name didn’t sound quite prestigious enough, however — so in 1939, the name was changed to the Masters.
The first-in-flight brothers from North Carolina brought their airplanes to Georgia. The Wright Flying School was in business from 1910 to 1916. During that time, it taught 119 people to fly Wright airplanes. The main location of the school was in Alabama and then moved to Ohio. Trying to take advantage of the warm winters in the South, the Wrights also opened a seasonal facility in Augusta in 1911. It was run by Frank Coffyn, an aviator who was a member of the Wright Exhibition Team after the Wright brothers taught him to fly.

The Labour Party has won a decisive victory in Bristol West as the Greens have failed to turn momentum in to votes.
It was billed as one of the closest run contests in the UK, but in the end Jeremy Corbyn’s party has stormed the Bristol West constituency with a huge 37,336 majority – one of the largest in the country.
After weeks of fierce campaigning and ever-tightening polls, Labour’s Thangam Debbonaire said she was “ecstatic” to have held her seat and said that constituency voted for “hope” on Thursday.
The Labour candidate received 47,213 votes compared to her rival, Molly Scott Cato of the Green Party who gained 9,216 votes, who was pushed in to third.
Conservative candidate Annabel Tall was the surprise second place candidate in the constituency and managed to net a healthy 9,877 votes.
Despite a valiant effort, Lib Dem candidate, Stephen Williams was again pushed in to fourth place with behind the Conservatives with 5,201 votes.
Mr Williams, who six weeks ago came third in the West of England’s first Metro Mayor election, served as MP for Bristol West for ten years between 2005 and 2015.
The Lib Dem candidate was a victim of the party’s catastrophic national performance, and despite the promise of a resurgence, Mr Williams has failed to come through.
And Money Free Party Resources Shared Equitably’s Jodian Rodgers – who wanted to end the concept of the resource based economy – came in last place with 101 votes.
Overall turnout for Bristol West was 77.19 per cent, up from 70.4 per cent in 2015.
Speaking after the declaration at City Academy, Ms Debbonaire, thanked the election staff, volunteers, voters and young people who have come out in support of her.
She added: “Yesterday Bristol West voted for progressive politics, loudly and clearly. Whatever the reason, whatever they love the Labour manifesto, Jeremy Corbyn’s leadership, whether it is because they like the things I have been campaigning on, whether it was because they didn’t like the hard Tory brexit and austerity – whatever the reason, people in Bristol West voted for progressive politics and for hope.
Ms Debbonaire said that she is looking forward to continuing to work with Bristol Mayor, Marvin Rees and described housing and opposition to school cuts as two of her main priorities.
The 50-year-old was hailed with cheers and screams as she walked off-stage and a section of the audience started a chant of 'Tories out'.
Labour’s result signifies a massive blow to the Green Party, which was targeting Bristol West as its second parliamentary seat.
The party pulled out all of the stops to put up the high-profile Ms Scott Cato, who already serves as an MEP, and launched a thorough leaflet, door-stop and social media campaign.
The Greens failed to improve on its 2015 performance in the ward when the party received 17,227 votes.
Ms Scott Cato said: “It is terribly disappointing to lose, and very sad to lose to the Conservatives.
“What we have seen in this election is that the country has polarised between the two main parties – people are either going for the Tories or fearing the Tories, and to me that is quite an unhealthy development, because I know from talking with people on the doorstep that they have a range of views and would welcome a more pluralist form of politics.
Speaking ahead of the declaration Mr Stephens said he believes there was a “conspiracy of silence” between Labour and the Conservatives to avoid the topic of Brexit during the election campaign.
Bristol as a whole has turned red, with Conservative Charlotte Leslie losing Bristol North West to Darren Jones, while Kerry McCarthy and Karin Smyth have held Bristol East and Bristol South respectively.

text: Synopsis: Watch Ghost Hunters online free. In Ghost Hunters Putlocker Full Episodes, Ghost Hunters is an American paranormal reality television series that premiered on October 6, 2004, on Syfy. The program features paranormal investigators Jason Hawes and Grant Wilson who investigate places that are reported to be haunted. The two originally worked as plumbers for Roto-Rooter as a day job while investigating locations at night. Since the show's success, the series now takes precedence in their lives, but they are still honorary employees with the company and continue to do jobs for them if time permits. The show is unrelated to the original 1996 Inca Productions show Ghosthunters produced for the Discovery Channel. The format was sold to Pilgrim Films & Television in the United States to become Ghost Hunters. The only link between the two shows is presenter Ian Cashmore who anchored the UK/Europe show. Cashmore piloted the U.S. show, but chose not to remain part of the U.S. venture after he filmed the promos.
