News - TROY FLEECE/Leader-Post - Family, friends, trained search and rescue, members of the RCMP and other members of First Nations joined in a search effort on Friday to try locate missing Amber Redman on the Standing Buffalo Reserve. Amber's mom Gwenda Yuzicappi was on hand to help organize the search parties for her missing daughter.

Gwenda Yuzicappi has never stopped looking for her missing daughter, Amber Redman, in the hopes that she is still alive.
On Friday, the mother from the Standing Buffalo First Nation will take her story to Stanford University in Palo Alto, Calif., as part of a conference there on murdered and missing women.
The conference, entitled "Feminicide = Sanctioned Murder: Gender, Race & Violence in Global Context", takes a hard look at the large number of disappearances and murders of women in Canada, Mexico and Guatemala.
Yuzicappi has her own reasons for attending the conference.
Ever since Redman, 19, went missing from a Fort Qu'Appelle bar on July 15, 2005, Yuzicappi has led numerous searches for her daughter and has spoken publicly about the painful turn her life has taken.
"To me, doing this, I feel that this is one of my purposes for my daughter and I feel that I'm on the right track," she said. "This is my purpose."
Since Redman disappeared, Yuzicappi has spoken publicly at a number of events across Canada and said she felt honoured to be asked to go to Stanford to represent Canadian First Nations people who are searching for missing loved ones or mourning those who have been found murdered.
Yuzicappi said she has found an affinity with other families who share her experience and hopes she can now begin to connect with families from other countries.
"At (an) event (in Ottawa), I made a statement that I would like nation to nation to come together and support each other, the unity, to bring this issue to the forefront," she said. "When we have more people the strength is stronger and the support is enormous...
"I just believe this is so important and I'm so passionate about this issue that I would go and speak anywhere. If I can let one more person know about my daughter, then I believe that my purpose is met that day."
Yuzicappi will be speaking at Stanford alongside women from Mexico and Guatemala whose daughters have been the victims of violence in their countries.
Yuzicappi said she was touched by a Canadian/British-produced documentary called Killer's Paradise, which tells the story of the brutal murders of women in Guatemala, many of which go uninvestigated and unsolved. That film was to be shown at the conference on Wednesday.
"When I watched that documentary, it upset me but ... when I heard the parents speak on there, I just felt, 'You're going through the same thing that I'm going through,' " she said.
Yuzicappi said she would like to be able to help other families the way she feels she has been helped by bonding with others in Saskatchewan who share her experience.
"When we mention one thing, we all understand that loss that we're facing," she said. "We understand going through shock, going through denial and when we talk about it we have that similarity within the families ...
"But going back to Stanford University and the conference, that's my intent when I go down there. I'm hoping that (through) my words that I'm bringing, my healing and what I'm going through every day, that I'm able to extend that out to other families and vice versa."
Later in May, Yuzicappi will join other family members of missing aboriginal women at an event in Saskatoon. She said she would one day like to help organize a conference in Saskatchewan to host families from around the world who are experiencing the same loss.

Continuing with my Colston Project.
To photograph all mentions and commemorations in Bristol to the slave trader Edward Colston and his influence on Bristol.
A row that has freshly been ignited by the recent decision to rename the Colston Hall, Bristol's comparatively small concert venue to a name that does not honour the transatlantic slave trade.
Sydney Metro opens for business on 26 May 2019 - Chatswood station prepares for the big day.
I spent an hour or so at Chatswood, the interim terminus for Sydney Metro and found the station just about in readiness for the big day next Sunday. Trains continue to be tested .
Signage is under wraps, although the Metro roundels are in evidence and who could miss the Metro PIDs. Some hazy and speed blurred pics follow

On October 12, 2015, St. John Cantius Parish was privileged to host the major relics of the body of St. Maria Goretti- the youngest canonized Saint in the Church. The relics are on tour around the United States as a preparation for the Year of Mercy which, according to the will of Pope Francis, is to begin in December. Thousands came to venerate the relics, hear about the life of this outstanding young Saint who forgave her own murderer and became the reason of his conversion, as well as to take part in the Solemn High Pontifical Latin Mass celebrated by Bishop Joseph Perry in honor of St. Maria Goretti.

The retainer removed in Step 4. is trickier to put back in then to take out. Care must be taken to make sure that it is perfectly straight before screwing it in, otherwise it is easily jammed and may get stuck for good.

As the photographer in the family, I have been given the job of photographing items to be sold on the family business website www.thegeniescave.co.uk or on eBay under the name of the_genies_cave. There is quite a bit of variety (if you think about what might be found in a cave belonging to a genie!) and I quite enjoy doing it.

Fitzgibbons’ Domination Continues at Subaru Pro TSB Bank Women’s Surf Festival
TARANAKI, New Plymouth/New Zealand (Friday, April 28, 2011) – ASP World No. 2 Sally Fitzgibbons (AUS) continued to push the envelope and revealing the depth of her surfing talent by smashing the scoreboard with near perfect scores to charge into the quarterfinals of the ASP Subaru Pro TSB Bank Women’s Surf Festival in New Zealand on Friday April 29, 2011.
Clean half-meter waves at Back Beach, Taranaki saw rounds two and three completed and the eight Quarterfinalists decided.
By far the event’s top performer, Fitzgibbons’ confidence was palpable as she unleashed yet another flawless performance to post 9.75 and 9.25 scores (out of ten) for a combined heat total of 19.00 (out of 20.00), defeating Chelsea Hedges (AUS) and Melanie Bartels (HAW) .
“I guess I just have a lot of confidence right now, I feel like my surfing was improving especially at the start of the year and I really wanted to bring that to my events and try to showcase some of the things I’ve been working on,” Fitzgibbons said. “It’s almost like feedback getting good scores, it means I’m on the right track.”
While high scores and standout performances are not uncharacteristic from Fitzgibbons, it remains to be seen whether her victory at Bells has changed the playing field for the Aussie talent who will be determined to take the podium’s top spot at the weekend’s final.
“Of course it is difficult to keep that momentum going but I think it’s all about trying to pick the eyes out of what you’ve got on the day. These waves are similar to what I surf at home and I’m just trying to surf nice and fast bring something new to the table and get in that excellent scoring range, it’s definitely tricky.”
ASP World Title No. 7 Courtney Conlogue (USA) completed a dream performance during round 3, taking down ASP ratings leader and defending Subaru Pro Champion Carissa Moore (HAW) in dramatic fashion.
“Carissa has been on game this whole year, she’s been performing really well so it was good to get one up on her today,” Conlogue said. “I lost against her in the Quarterfinals at Bells and she ended up getting into the finals so it feels pretty good to know I don’t have to surf again in Round 4.”
Conlogue unleashed her powerful, vertical surfing, sticking to her ‘Carissa Moore game plan’ by opening with an excellent 8.25 and sealing the deal with an 8.75 (both out of ten) to advance into the quarterfinals.
“Anytime you have a heat against Carissa you know you need to get above sevens to win and, even then, you might need nines. This year is really a learning year for me, it would be nice to be top five and it’s a definitely a goal of mine so I’m trying as hard as I can get there.”
Coco Ho (HAW) proved another of the day’s giant killers, joining local favourite Paige Hareb in taking down four times ASP World Champion Stephanie Gilmore (AUS) who placed third.
“It was kinda just one of those heats where you have nothing to lose, that‘s how I always look at it with Steph,” Ho said. “I’ve had all Quarterfinals so far this year so I’m really looking to get past that round and hopefully get a good result.”
ASP World Tour rookie Tyler Wright bounced back from a slow start yesterday, keeping busy in her Round 3 exchange by building on her scores before locking in a 7.25 followed by a 7.75 (both out of 10) to snatch the win off Silvana Lima (BRA) and Rebecca Woods (AUS).
“I kind of sussed it out this morning and that helped a lot through that heat,” Wright said. “I think the main thing for me was to keep busy and just try and build on my scores and that’s what I did.”
The current ASP World No. 3 is a recognized threat on this year’s ASP Women’s World Title Tour and has her target firmly fixed on the current front runners.
“It’s pretty cool to get through that one but Sal and Carissa are still ripping and they’re probably the benchmark at the moment. Sal is surfing unbelievably well and I’m still trying to get there but I’m just going to keep working at it and make sure I have fun along the way.”

We’re continuing to ensure we’re prepared to keep you safe at the thousand-plus large-scale events that we police in Greater Manchester every year with the specialist training of hundreds of our officers.
Our rigorous week-long public order training programme has been nationally-recognised as properly equipping us for a whole variety of events – such as sporting fixtures, festivals, carnivals, and protests – to maintain order in circumstances where there is a risk to ourselves and the public.
Each year we police around 1200 such events in GM that mostly pass without any significant incident; however, we ensure that in the rare instances issues do arise, we have officers specially trained in maintaining order with the tactics and skills to keep the wider public and our officers safe.
As well as putting 500 new officers through their paces every year, we have many more experienced officers who also go through the intensive course to refresh their knowledge and skills so that we have the necessary number of qualified cops to be deployed to such big events.
Chief Inspector Kirsten Buggy, of our Specialist Operational Training, People and Development Branch said: “All our officers will police major events given the nature of serving for one of the largest communities in the country, but we also ensure that a high amount of those officers is trained in using the enhanced tactics that may be needed on some occasions.
“Part of the training our officers do here is very-much a last resort and can seem excessive to some, but we’ve seen in the past how valuably important it is that we can call on such an insurance policy for the rare situations where public order needs to be regained and maintained to keep you safe.
“This is the kind of policing that goes to show just how brave and committed our officers are at being on the front line and doing what they can to keep communities safe from those who may look to cause harm, and year-on-year we’re making sure that more of our officers gain the experience that this vital training can offer to the benefit of us all.”
We’re currently recruiting more officers than ever – fancy joining our team too? Find out how you can here: www.gmp.police.uk/recruitment
As technology continues to evolve and innovate at breakneck speeds, we've seen human behavior upended in a miraculously short span of time. Not only has our manner of communication changed, but the very notion of communication and the communicative abilities available to us are completely different. How people relate to one another professionally, socially and artistically are different than even ten years ago and will likely be much different thirty years from now. This month's Y+30 panel examined these ideas from multiple perspectives, including digital art, policy, social media, human-computer interfaces and more. Featuring:
Josephine Dorado, a virtual worlds and online community consultant, educator, interactive events producer and skydiver.
Hilary Mason, lead scientist at bitly
Carol Parkinson, Executive Director of Harvestworks
Eric Skiff, cofounder of NYC Resistor
David Solomonoff, President of the Internet Society of New York

As part of a continued partnership between University of Iowa Health Care STEM Education programs and Workplace Learning Connection, 10 students from high schools around the area came to the UI Health Science Campus to learn about Child Development. First, the students sat with the Coordinator of Community Outreach and Inquiry Prevention; Manager of Safety and Store/Safe Escape Program. The students learned about injury prevention and career opportunities. Lastly, the high school students learned what is what like to work in a Child Life Program. This program’s staff helps children cope with their medical experiences and feel comfortable in a hospital setting.
University of Iowa Health Care is committed partners with formal and informal educators and community organizations across the state to advance STEM literacy to inspire the next generation of health care professionals and build a foundation for children to understanding their own health. In FY2016, more than 22,000 school age children were engaged in hands on learning provided by 300 faculty, staff and students.
