Today, Thank you for your support for Narragansett Bay. this same long-term commitment is essential in dealing with chronic and complex challenges of polluted runoff, rapid climate change and diminished public investment in environmental protection. At the same time, Save The Bay has repeatedly sounded the alarm on imminent threats to the Bay. Often, these threats come out of the blue, in the form of damaging industrial proposals, misguided legislation, natural disasters or flawed public policy and regulatory initiatives. The year 2016 witnessed two of these emergencies: a poorly vetted proposal to fill 31 acres of the Providence River and a flawed proposal by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers that would fundamentally alter the character of Rhode Island’s southern coast. In both cases, Save The Bay responded immediately and with great effect.

  • Some Puhuu: Belgia Voittaa Euroviisut
    Lehdistötiedote 11.5.2017 Some puhuu: Belgia voittaa Euroviisut Euroviisut ovat täydessä vauhdissa ja huipentuvat finaalitaistoon lauantaina. Sosiaalisen median mukaan voiton kotiin vie Belgian Blanche. Arvio käy ilmi Adoben tuoreesta raportista. Adobe on analysoinut 29 miljoonaa Euroviisuihin liittyvää sosiaalisen median aktiviteettia. Tulosten mukaan Belgian edustaja Blanche on vahvin voittajaehdokas. Näin ollen vedonlyöjien suosikki Italia ei siis tulisi juhlimaan voittoa. Kymmenen kärki sosiaalisen median mukaan 1. 17-vuotias Belgian Blanche nousi suuren yleisön tietoon Belgian Voice-kilpailun kautta. Blanche on yksi Euroviisujen nuorimmista kilpailijoista tänä vuonna ja esittää kappaleen City Lights. 2. Italian Francesco Gabbani esittää kappaleen Occidentali’s Karma. Laulu on saanut paljon inspiraatiota itämaisesta kulttuurista. 3. Ranskan edustaja Alma esittää Requiem-kappaleen. Musiikkia hän alkoi tehdä viisi vuotta sitten. 4. Kreikan Demy esittää kappaleen This Is Love. Edustustehtävän lisäksi hän on kreikkalaisen Mamma Mia -tuotannon pääosassa. 5. Isoa-Britanniaa edustaa Lucie Jones, joka oli maan X Factorin finalisti vuonna 2009. Hän esittää kappaleen Never Give Up On You, jonka kirjoittamiseen on osallistunut vuoden 2013 viisut voittanut Emmelie de Forest. 6. Saksaa edustava Levina aloitti oman musiikin tekemisen jo 12-vuotiaana. Hän esittää kappaleen Perfect Life, jonka tekijä Lindy Robbins on tehnyt hittejä Anastacialle, Backstreet Boysille ja Jason Derulolle. 7. Irlannin Brendan Murray on Hometown-poikabändin jäsen ja edustaa maataan kappaleella Dying to Try. 8. Australian 17-vuotias edustaja Isaiah on kotoisin saarelta, jolla on vain 5 000 asukasta. Se ei ole estänyt maailman valloitusta musiikilla: hänen debyyttikappalettaan on suoratoistettu miljoonia kertoja. Euroviisuissa hän esittää kappaleen Don’t Come Easy. 9. Sveitsiä edustava Timebelle on yksi Euroviisujen monimuotoisimmista bändeistä: Sveitsin lisäksi jäsenillä on juuria Romaniassa, Ruotsissa ja Saksassa.

  • 2014-2015 Annual Report
    2014-2015 ANNUAL REPORT Have the courage to share I Knew this was not normal for me CHANGING THE IMPACT OF CANCER. Yo u r h e a l t h is the most important thing Because who knows you better? A message from our Founder 15-40 Connection’s work to empower the lifesaving advantage of early cancer detection has become part of our DNA. Seeing the reward of lives saved drives us all to want to do more; to reach more people quickly. Early cancer detection is a benefit we all deserve. As an organization we initially focused on teaching teens and young adults because tragically, they are a group who has paid a high price to delayed diagnosis. It is a primary culprit of the fact that their cancer survival rates have barely improved since 1975. Through the work initiated and funded by us all, we quickly saw a broader opportunity and need for earlier cancer detection in all age groups. Cancer does not discriminate. Neither does delayed diagnosis. We often ask people who have had cancer if they noticed symptoms prior to their diagnosis. The answer is frequently no. Then we teach them what a cancer symptom can feel like and their answer changes. They realize that there were signals but they did not know what they meant, so they blamed them on diet, lifestyle or aging. Many bravely share their experiences and insight to illustrate the importance of the lessons we teach. We are moving forward with passion and a clear purpose; to teach all to recognize early warning signs of cancer and to actively collaborate with medical professionals for better health care.

All Mum wants for her 80 birthday is a visit from her son who lives in Australia and a trip to Blackpool to see the lights. Will she get either? 3 PLAY OF THE MONTH “For Services Rendered” by W Somerset Maugham This is one of Somerset Maugham’s last plays before he retired to the south of France. It is also his most controversial, dealing as it does with the effects of the Great War on an ordinary middle class family. His anger about the plight of servicemen, returned from the trenches and left to their own devices, is obvious and didn’t go down too well with the audiences of 1932 when it was first performed. Critics, on the other hand, raved about it. In the prophetic words of the Ardsley’s son, Sydney, “the incompetent fools who ruled the nations....one of these days will muddle us all into another war”.
