I joined Fiona Patten MP, upper house representative of the Reason Australia party, and the Friends of the Earth Yes 2 Renewables Team, to celebrate Patten's support for the Victorian Renewable Energy Target (VRET) with a solar-powered beer at the Hawkers micro brewery in Reservoir.
Since installing 190 solar panels on their rooftop, co-founder of Hawkers Beer Mazen Hajjar told us they've saved almost 40% on their electricity bill, showing action on climate change makes good business sense. Hajjar is angry and passionate about the need for #climateaction, and it was so refreshing meeting a business person who gets that it's a #climateemergency, and whose business model is based on reducing grid energy, reducing waste and recycling.
Ms Patten has shown leadership on renewable energy and climate change, and deserves recognition for working with the Daniel Andrews government to secure good oucomes. All parties should support jobs and investment in renewable energy. It's all about innovation in the energy transition under way.
All MPs should follow Patten's lead by voting yes to the VRET when it is debated in the upper house of state parliament.

Two years ago, Palatine citizens voted to save the house and use taxes for a
cultural center, but the Palatine Village Council voted against it. The house was recently put on the National Register.
The three-story Patten mansion was designed in the Victorian "Chateauesque" style in 1898 by architect Julius F. Wegman. It was the first in Palatine to have indoor plumbing. The property was put on the market by Patten's descendents. The price tag is just under a million. Sotehby's is selling it for readaptive use (community or cultural center or bed and breakfast). It is zoned for four buildable lots.

Special Representative of the Secretary-General on Sexual Violence in Conflict Ms. Pramila Patten Concludes Visit to Iraq and Stresses Need to Do More to Protect and Support Victims of Daesh’s Sexual Violence Crimes
(Baghdad/New York, 05 March 2018)
The Special Representative of the United Nations Secretary-General on Sexual Violence in Conflict, Ms. Pramila Patten, concluded an eight-day visit to Iraq during which she heard first-hand the heart wrenching accounts of survivors of Daesh’s sexual violence. She stressed the need to ensure that survivors of conflict-related sexual violence are fully protected and that perpetrators of these horrendous crimes are brought to justice.
Special Representative Patten met with Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi and with other senior Government officials, at federal, regional and provincial levels in Baghdad, Erbil and Mosul. She also engaged directly with survivors, civil society groups and with Christian, Shia, Sunni, Turkmen Shia and Yazidi religious leaders. A strong message from the survivors relating to the plight of women and girls still under captivity as well as their missing family members was taken up with the Government by Special Representative Patten. She enquired about ongoing efforts to locate those missing and urged the authorities to expedite their rescue.
Many of the women who remain displaced expressed serious safety concerns regarding their return to their homes and shared their fear of reprisals. “I call on all religious and tribal leaders to welcome back survivors of sexual violence and their children, and the Government to find legal avenues to recognize their children as Iraqi citizens,” said Ms. Patten. “It is essential for all to work towards shifting the stigma from the victims to the perpetrators. I also urge the Government to ensure that women and girls who were victims of Daesh are not wrongfully perceived as being their ‘affiliates’.”
During discussion with Iraqi Officials on the question of justice and accountability, while acknowledging the efforts of the Government, the Special Representative stressed the importance of ensuring that alleged perpetrators are held accountable not only for the crime of terrorism but for the full extent of the sexual violence crimes perpetrated on Iraqi women and children including abduction, rape, sexual slavery and forced marriages. She noted in this regard that her Office stands ready to work directly with Iraqi judges, investigators and prosecutors together with the new Investigative Team established under UNSCR 2379. Her Team of Experts on the Rule of Law and Sexual Violence also stands ready to provide support in the area of legislative reform in particular to criminalize war crimes, crimes against humanity and genocide in Iraq.
In Mosul, where thousands of Iraqi women and girls were subjected to rape, sexual slavery and other grave forms of sexual violence perpetrated by Daesh, Ms. Patten was joined by Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon, Minister of State at the Foreign and Commonwealth Office and the United Kingdom’s Prime Minister’s Special Representative on Preventing Sexual Violence in Conflict. They both called on the authorities of Ninewa Governorate to address the pressing needs of survivors in ongoing reconstruction efforts, including through the significant scaling-up of medical services, mental health and psychosocial support and economic livelihoods opportunities.
Ms. Patten’s visit from 26 February to 5 March 2018 was at the invitation of the Government, pursuant to the United Nations/Iraq Joint Communiqué to Prevent and Address Conflict-Related Sexual Violence of 2016. Her visit marks the endorsement of the Joint Communiqué’s Implementation Plan featuring specific measures related to justice and accountability, survivor-centered services and engagement with civil society organizations, religious/tribal leaders and the media. “The development of this implementation plan demonstrates the continuous commitment of the Government of Iraq to address the plight of the victims of conflict-related sexual violence,” stressed Special Representative Patten.
“While I congratulate the Government of Iraq for its military defeat of Daesh, I urge the Government to pursue its efforts to rescue those missing, to ensure justice and reparations to all victims of the heinous crimes of sexual violence and to include women in its peacebuilding, reconciliation and reconstruction initiatives,” stated Special Representative Patten.

From left to right, Josh Greiner, Andrew Day, D'Vonte Morris, Grace Davis, Rosa Juan, EAGLES Director Betty Patten, Anna Moates, Sadie Weldon, Luke York and Bradley Basden recently gathered for a celebratory photo shoot on Samford Lawn. Created in 2018, the program today has 19 students and 147 peer mentors, known as WINGS.
And then there were 6. After an extended open registration and then two marathon days of poker, the final 6 of the first US stop of WPT Season IX were in the Fontana Lounge of the Bellagio on the WPT TV Stage. Fan Favorites Phil Ivey and Justin "Boosted J" Smith were there as well as some new faces to the tour. Ivey could not take down his second WPT title, but when he left in 3rd it was with his 30th six figure cash tying him with Phil Hellmuth for the most all time and extending his lead on the all time money list for tournament poker. Justin Smith would make the Cup final table for the second year in a row, but would only finish one better in his back-to-back run as Moritz Kranich, EPT champion and now WPT champion, would walk away with the title and $875,000.
We also stopped in for a few more shots with the WPT's Royal Flush Girl's as well as Mike Sexton and Vince Van Patten.
At a 2022 Chiswick Book Festival event supported by the University of West London in St Michael and All Angels Church, Chris Patten, the last British Governor to Hong Kong, talks to international correspondent Stefanie Bolzen about the explosive revelations Hong Kong Diaries in the diaries he kept during the handover to China in 1992, and the fraught negotiations that took place.
St Margaret Pattens, Eastcheap, City of London
I have a fondness for this little church, which sits pleasingly on the north side of Great Tower Street. The paved area in front gives it rather a provincial air, as if we were in the main shopping street of Norwich or York, and the building itself similarly has no airs and graces. Here, where London bends towards the grim old tower, Wren turned disciplinarian and built one of the simplest, starkest patterns of his career opined Wayland Young in an uncharacteristically purple passage. Yes, it is plain, and the interior is plain too, a simple box-like nave with a north aisle beyond. Plain glass, plain benches, a plain wooded sanctuary - even the reredos is understated. And yet there is a pleasing harmony here. I thought the church well-chosen by the tramp snoring away on one of the back benches - there were no discordant excitements here to keep him awake!
But there is plenty to interest, too. At the back are the churchwardens pews for St Margaret Pattens and St Gabriel Fenchurch, and these are the only surviving examples in the City. The beadle's pew survives too, and there are hat pegs for gentlemen, and perhaps all in all no other City church still has the calm and simplicity of 18th Century London life before the Victorian storm began. Mind you, those 18th Century gentlemen might have raised an eyebrow at the succession of young women carryng large exercise balls up the north aisle on their way to a pilates class in the north gallery, now a conference room.
A patten is a kind of wooden shoe, and a window of 2000 commemorates the Worshipful Company of Pattenmakers. But in fact the dedication was probably not a reference to pattenmakers at all, but to Ranulf Peyton, a Canon of St Pauls who owned the land in this parish.

John McEnroe en vier van z'n tennissende collega's/maten (Craig Wittus, Vince Van Patten, Mel Purcell en Peter Rennert) namen als "Highly Strung" dit plaatje op in Duitsland.
John McEnroe heeft overigens nog meer platen uitgebracht. Samen met Pat Cash heeft hij een LP uitgebracht met de titel "Full Metal Racket", maar die heb ik nog nergens tegengekomen.

John McEnroe has other records to his credit, too. He recorded a LP with Pat Cash and the "Full metal rackets" which I haven't come across yet. Here's a CD single from it.
Went on a walk to visit this forest preserve. The lake is called sterling lake in Lake County, Illinois. Definitely worth a check-out!

History
Bank Hall was built in 1750 for Thomas Patten. The architect was James Gibbs and it is likely that it was the last important building of his design to be completed in his lifetime. It stood in open countryside to the north of the town of Warrington.The Patten family were important merchants in the town. Thomas' father had made the lower River Mersey navigable from Runcorn to Bank Quay, Warrington, and had established a copper smelting factory at Bank Quay. In 1870 John Wilson-Patten, 1st Baron Winmarleigh, sold the hall to Warrington Borough Council for £9000, and 13 acres (0.1 km²) of surrounding land for a further £13,000. Almost all of the land was opened as Warrington's first public park in 1873. When the house was built, it was surrounded by a high wall. In 1895 this was replaced by iron railings and a fine set of gates.
Architecture
External
The hall is built in Palladian style and has three storeys and a hipped slate roof. The front (south) façade has nine bays. The ground floor is in rusticated ashlar, as are the central three bays while the outer three bays on each side are in brick. The central area consists of a portico with four large ¾-attached Composite columns with a pediment bearing the arms of the Patten family. An open two-arm staircase, with a wrought iron balustrade, leads to the main entrance on the first floor. The north side of the hall is entirely of brick and is simpler. The whole house is built on a foundation made of blocks of copper slag from the Patten's smelting works. The detached service wings each have 13 bays and are similar to each other. Their middle three bays have three storeys and are in rusticated ashlar while the lateral bays have two storeys and are in brick.
Interior
The entrance hall is spacious and contains coats of arms of the Patten family, a stone chimney piece and a mosaic floor. The floor replaced a wooden one in 1902 and was laid by Italian workmen. It includes the initials J. W. P. for John Wilson Patten, L. W. for Lionel Whittle, was the town clerk at the time, T. L. for Thomas Longdin, the borough engineer, and Q. V. for Queen Victoria. The former great hall and the music room have been combined to form the council chamber. The former ladies retiring room and the dining room are now committee rooms and the reading room is used as the mayor's parlour. There are two similar staircases with wrought iron handrails. The window frames, which appear to be made of wood, are made from a combination of copper and iron, painted white.
