The entire forest area is home to Schedule I animals and the trees have been growing for decades… Real estate may not survive, if local youth are empowered and if they understand the worth of self-employment through integrated farming in a country like ours,” he said. A senior forest official told indianexpress.com that after the public outcry, nobody has pursued the project.

The American Academy of Learned Societies places Buddhist scholars at four cultural institutions, including Tricycle.

Read the interview here. Read about the course here. The talk will be held on June 14–15 under the theme “Buddha Dharma: An Indian Heritage.” “ACLS has a long and successful history of championing early career scholars and publicly engaged humanities,” said ACLS President Joy Connolly in a press release.

Boris Johnson's policy chief has suggested that quangos such as the Passport Office should slash fees charged to taxpayers as part of a "windfall cut" to ...

Not the general pot of taxation that pays for public services, but all of the other fees charged by different levels of government, regulators and quangos. To prune the non-productive part of the economy that is the ‘deadweight’ cost every working family has to carry on its shoulders. Ministers and officials have been tasked with finding "non fiscal" ways to tackle the cost of living crisis.

Thunder Bay residents can weigh in on priorities for economic development in the city at an event on Saturday or an online survey.

“We see a lot of concern about the social and safety issues in Thunder Bay,” he said. “The forest products industry is struggling to fill a number of positions… “There is a huge demand for workers across every single segment of employment in Thunder Bay,” he said.

National leader Christopher Luxon says the Matariki public holiday will cost too much. Damien Grant is an Auckland business owner, a member of the Taxpayers' ...

“Matariki will be a distinctly New Zealand holiday; a time for reflection and celebration,” the Prime Minister boasted when she announced the date last year. Productivity is a measure of how much we produce for a given unit of labour. Ergo, we produce less and consequently we earn less. She is right, in one sense. Oh, and each region has their anniversary day. We compensate, in part, by working more hours; a typical New Zealand worker toils for 34.2 hours per week, as against 31.9 across other OECD countries. For me, and them, there is no such thing as a statutory holiday. Employers are not stupid. Some months the difference between profit and loss are the hours spent alone in the office. And the fact is we need to work longer because we earn less, and we earn less because we produce less. The weather seems pleasant. I run my own little commercial operation.

Sick and injured Australians are paying hundreds of dollars to skip queues at public emergency departments, opting for urgent care in the private system as ...

Private emergency care is not covered by health insurance. X-rays, CT and blood tests can add hundreds more to patients’ bills. The Sydney Morning Herald and The Age have exposed recent tragedies, including a Sydney man who died on an ambulance stretcher after waiting an hour for an ED bed and a Victorian man who died after waiting more than three hours outside a regional hospital.

Without alternatives, these institutions will always lack accountability, and therefore, trust. America is nothing without our unique history of popular ...

Unless we can create a new means of decision-making in public health, we’re doomed to repeat 2020 over and over. We need to unleash the power of competition and empower debate. Because of these facts—which eventually escaped the web of censorship and obfuscation—former Indiana attorney general Curtis Hill convoked the citizen-led project America’s Grand Jury, a controversial attempt to publicize the public health establishment’s legal and scientific malfeasance. When the mRNA vaccines for COVID-19 were made available to the public free of charge, a national conversation began about “vaccine hesitancy”—the phenomenon of Americans choosing not to be vaccinated even when incentivized and, in some cases, coerced. Americans had watched public health experts lie, misdirect, ignore evidence and yield to professional pressure since the beginning of the pandemic. Public health initiatives in the United States are suffering from a crisis of trust.

Artist Wayne Moore leading an initiative that will see large-scale art unveiled at Night of Art in September.

“You can create something really cool that will be hanging at the museum and at the art event,” she said. “Each participant who comes in will have their work be part of it. Beginning June 30 and running every second Thursday over six evenings from 6-8 p.m. until Sept. 8, people can simply drop by the museum at 5810 Ferry St. for free to help work on Moore’s art piece. The finished work, to be entitled Lend a Hand, will be presented at Night of Art on Sept. 22. Artistically inclined people and even folks without a lot of artistic talent have a chance to help create a large-scale public art piece that will be unveiled to the world at the 11th annual Niagara Falls Night of Art at the Niagara Falls History Museum. The museum has teamed up with local artist Wayne Moore for a public art project that will see people help create a massive art piece envisioned by Moore.

One group says a bus service would cost less than $150,000 to run per year. Horizons Regional Council is putting the final touches on its regional public ...

As part of its submission on the plan, Manawatū District Council asked Horizons to investigate a harmonised rate for public transport services, with people outside those rural villages contributing. The survey showed the vast majority of people would use public transport for such trips. * Plan to triple public transport use in and around Manawatū in a decade Neighbourhood Support Manawatū, as part of its submission on the transport plan, conducted a survey of 335 people, with the vast majority saying they would use a rural public transport service.

The study, publishing in the Emerging Infectious Diseases Journal, evaluated the structural and outbreak factors associated with reporting foodborne outbreaks.

According to the study, in 2018, the University of Iowa’s state hygienic laboratory noticed a significant increase in Salmonella in stool samples. The study, led by CDC Health Scientist Bradford Greening, examined the response of a 2018 Salmonella Typhimurium outbreak associated with packaged chicken salad. The high reporting states reported four times more outbreaks than low reporting states.

Exclusive: Debt Justice calls on UK to use power to make private lenders take part in effective relief scheme.

This low level of spending is then expected to be maintained until at least 2025, Debt Justice says. Low-debt countries will increase spending by an average of 14% between 2019 and 2023. Debt repayments to wealthy lenders should not take precedence over people’s needs in a time of multiple crises.”

A lack of public transit in Arizona puts so many limitations on our lives. But $884 million from the new infrastructure law should go a long way.

The reason people with disabilities congregate in cities is because of public transportation accessibility. If we want disabled people to truly be a part of the community, officials across all levels of government must prioritize public transit when making new infrastructure investments. I don’t think able-bodied people understand how powerful it is to be able to move freely and efficiently. Access to reliable daily transportation is life-changing for people with disabilities. When a city centers the infrastructure around cars, it leaves out many people who don’t have access to a car. But once you venture slightly outside of the downtown area, access to public transportation drops drastically.

Taxidermy, huia and the energy of the Tararua Range form the inspiration behind Palmerston North's latest public artwork.

The trust was also behind Numbers on the corner of Coleman Mall, Who’s Afraid outside The Regent, Te Pūatatangi ki Te Ika a Māui across from Wildbase in The Esplanade and many other public artworks in the city. The Head of John Doe was the first sculpture unveiled by the trust since Whaiwhakaaoroaro, a large gnome with a pīwakawaka and pepeketua resting on it, was put in place on Broadway Ave in 2020. Brought to the city by the Palmerston North Public Sculpture Trust, the piece was installed on Main St between Te Manawa and the Palmerston North Conference and Function Centre.

Northland LandSAR volunteer Grant Conaghan, pictured with detective Kim Adamson during an earlier search, says they provide critical support to police to find ...

They have the only specialist cliff and cave teams in Tai Tokerau – covering coast to coast from north of Auckland to Cape Reinga. Just as long as we have 24-hour access to it. As well as the shipping containers the new location would need to be able to house a caravan – the group's mobile search headquarters – and an equipment trailer. "Over the years our group hasn't had a permanent base to work out of and we have relied on the goodwill of many business people and council staff to store our equipment and a venue to operate out of." A search of a different kind is underway for Northland Land Search and Rescue as the group of award-winning volunteers look for a new home base. Northland LandSAR, a not-for-profit volunteer-based group, is calling on the public for help to find either a free or affordable location they can use to operate their rescue operations and host training.
