Bill No. A7442: An ingredient to end mass incarceration - The Daily Orange

Absence of Light is a project created in collaboration with incarcerated people at Auburn Correctional Facility in Auburn, New York. This is an account from Absence of Light Columnist Clifford Graham, who recently transferred to Mohawk Correctional Facility in Rome, New York.

Civil rights organizations have been fighting a war against mass incarceration for decades. On May 10, at the 244th legislative session, bill No. A7442 was introduced to the New York Assembly by Assembly member David Weprin titled, “Provides for inmates to earn good behavior allowance credits while incarcerated.”

In short, this bill explains how an inmate shall receive an additional month of credit off of their sentence for every month of participation in programs, excluding inmates serving a sentence for a class A-I felony offense. Prisoners are calling it “30 for 30.” Sadly, after studying the bill, I noticed that there was only one individual sponsor, Assembly member Weprin. Also, the bill is still in committee.

Fast forward a month later to June 10, which was in the same legislative session, when bill No. S1144A passed in the Senate and the Assembly. Sen. Brian Benjamin, along with 27 others, sponsored the bill, which was later signed into law. That bill was titled, “Relates to revocation of community supervision.”

In short, this bill explains how a parolee’s community supervision shall be reduced by 30 days for every 30 days that such person does not violate a condition and remains in compliance with all conditions of his or her community supervision. Parolees are calling that a “30 for 30.”

I wondered why Bill No. A7442 was not sponsored by the same number of senators or assembly members, especially since both bills are replicas of one another, in language and in application, only differing in whom each bill applies to. Both bills’ mission or purpose is to encourage good behavior like showing a toddler who’s crying and kicking their favorite candy to persuade them to stop. That is what bill No. A7442 is doing.

Over the years I have heard so many organizations scream in protest against mass incarceration. Organizations like JustLeadershipUSA, VOCAL-NY, Center for Community Alternatives, RAPP, NYCLU, NAACP, Correctional Association of New York, The Legal Aid Society, Appellate Advocates, REFORM Alliance, the Justice Initiatives, The Marshall Project, Incarceration Nations Network and many respectable others have been fighting for change.

Are we serious about ending this system of control or not? Why does Assembly member Weprin stand alone on Bill No. A7442, a bill that has major potential to slice the New York state prison population in half once enacted?

A word to the legislators who endure so much during their terms having to be well-informed so that they can intimately understand the temperament and character for whom they legislate. I overheard an elder prisoner say, “The law to a certain extent should correct national tendencies. It should be loved a little because it is felt to be just, feared a little because it is severe, hated a little because it is to a certain degree out of sympathy with the prevalent temper of the day, and respected because it is felt to be necessary.”

There is so much more to be said and done regarding the law — another time perhaps, but for now, #A7442.

This Irish ingredient will elevate your lasagne to new heights - The Irish Times

I always try to use Irish ingredients both in the restaurant and at home. The ingredients I have chosen for this recipe are easily accessible and will turn a humble dish like a lasagne into something even more delicious.

I love serving game in the restaurant. I always have venison on the menu at this time of the year and use the trimmings to mince and make lasagne. You can get venison in most small butchers. However, you could also use minced beef chuck. The beef doesn’t need to be too fatty.

At Crowe’s Farm in the heart of the Golden Vale in Tipperary, the pigs are reared outdoor on the family farm and butchered on site. Since 1981 John Crowe has been using traditional farming methods to slow rear the pigs ensuring their welfare. I love their streaky bacon and it works really well in sauces and ragout.

For the cheese sauce, I use Hegarty’s Cheese and Glenilen butter, which combined give the sauce a nice thick velvety consistency. In terms of pasta, Rummo do a particularly nice lasagne pasta, also available in a gluten-free option.

Wade Murphy is head chef and owner of 1826 Adare.

Venison lasagne

Serves 4-6

Ingredients

For the ragu:
1.5kg minced venison haunch or minced beef chuck
125g Crowe’s smoked streaky bacon, diced
150ml olive oil
5 carrots, peeled and cut in small dice
2 celery sticks, cut into small dice
2 onions, finely diced
4 cloves garlic, finely chopped
6 juniper berries
1 tbsp tomato puree
350ml passata
3 plum tomatoes, deseeded and diced
175ml red wine
25g plain flour
1.5ltr chicken stock
Sprig thyme

For the cheese sauce:
25g Glenilen farmhouse butter
25g plain flour
375ml milk, warmed in a pan75g Parmesan, grated
75g Hegarthy’s cheddar chese, grated
2 tsp Dijon mustard
Salt
Pepper

You will also need:
Lasagne sheets
Fresh basil leaves
Grated Hegarty’s cheddar to finish

Method

1 Preheat the oven to 190 degrees.

2 Add the olive oil to a large ovenproof pan and place over a medium-high heat. Add the venison mince and fry until the liquid reduces and it starts to dry out, stirring to break up the mince. Remove from the pan and set aside.

3 Add the smoked bacon and diced vegetables to the pan along with the garlic and juniper berries. Season to taste, then allow the vegetables to sweat down for five minutes until softened

4 Stir in the tomato puree, chopped tomatoes and passata and continue to cook for a few more minutes. Add 20g of the plain flour stir to coat the vegetables.

5 Pour in the red wine to deglaze the pan and cook until the liquid has reduced slightly. Return the venison mince to the pan and add the chicken stock. Cover the pan with a round of baking paper or a lid and then transfer to the oven. Cook for 35 minutes. Remove and set aside to cool.

6 To make the cheese sauce, melt the butter in a pan and once melted fold in the flour. Stir on a low heat for a few minutes, then gradually whisk in the warmed milk. Keep whisking until you have a silky, thick sauce. Stir in the cheeses and mustard. Taste and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper

7 Blanch your lasagne sheets in salted boiling water for a couple of minutes and cool in iced water.

8 Preheat your oven to 180 degrees/gas mark 4

9 Assemble the lasagne. Start with a layer of venison ragu, followed by cheese sauce then the pasta. Repeat three times; the final layer should be the cheese sauce. Bake in the oven for 30-40 minutes until golden. Remove from the oven and finish with grated cheese and fresh basil leaves.

Pope Francis: Life's essential ingredient is prayer - The Catholic Telegraph

Catholic News Agency 2021-11-28

by Hannah Brockhaus

Vatican City, Nov 28, 2021 / 06:52 am

On the first Sunday of Advent, Pope Francis reminded Christians that an essential ingredient for living an alert and joyful life is prayer.

“Be awake, guard your heart,” the pope said in his message before the Angelus Nov. 28. “And let’s add an essential ingredient: the secret to being watchful is prayer.”

“In fact, Jesus says: ‘Keep awake at all times praying’ (Luke 21:36). It is prayer that keeps the lamp of the heart burning. Especially when we feel that enthusiasm is cooling, prayer rekindles it, because it brings us back to God, to the center of things,” he added.

The pope also emphasized that “prayer awakens the soul from sleep and focuses it on what matters, on the end of existence.”

“Even on the busiest days, let’s not neglect prayer,” he urged, recommending an easy prayer to say during Advent: “Come, Lord Jesus, come.”

“Let’s repeat this prayer throughout the day, and the soul will remain alert,” he said.

From a window overlooking St. Peter’s Square, Pope Francis delivered his weekly Angelus reflection on the day’s Gospel according to St. Luke, in which Jesus warns his disciples about the end of the world and his second coming.

“The Gospel of today’s liturgy, the first Sunday of Advent, that is, the first Sunday of preparation for Christmas, speaks to us of the coming of the Lord at the end of time,” the pope explained.

“Jesus announces desolating events and tribulations, but precisely at this point he invites us not to be afraid,” Francis continued. “Why? Because will everything be okay? No, but because he will come. Jesus will come back, Jesus will come, he promised it. He says thus: ‘Rise up and lift up your heads, for your deliverance is near.’”

The pope warned people not to become “sleepy Christians,” who let their hearts become lazy and “their spiritual life soften into mediocrity.”

“We need to be vigilant so as not to drag the days into routine, so as not to be burdened – says Jesus – by the troubles of life,” he stated.

Francis said the beginning of Advent is a good time to ask ourselves what is weighing down our hearts and burdening our spirits: “What are the mediocrities that paralyze me, the vices, what are the vices that crush me to the ground and prevent me from raising my head?”

We should also ask ourselves if we are attentive or indifferent to the burdens of our brothers and sisters, he added. “These questions are good for us, because they help guard the heart from acedia.”

Acedia, also called sloth, “is a great enemy of the spiritual life,” he said. “Acedia is that laziness that falls, slips into sadness, which takes away the enjoyment of life and the desire to act.”

According to Francis, this negative spirit “nails the soul down in numbness, robbing its joy.”

He said “precisely in the moments when everything seems over, the Lord comes to save us; await him with joy even in the heart of tribulations, in the crises of life and in the dramas of history. Wait for the Lord.”

“Let us pray to Our Lady: may she, who awaited the Lord with a vigilant heart, accompany us on the journey of Advent,” he stated.

After praying the Angelus in Latin, the pope noted the presence in St. Peter’s Square of a fraternal association of migrants and non-migrants with whom he met Nov. 27.

He reflected on how many lives are lost at the borders, and said he was sad to hear about the migrants, including children, who died recently in the English Channel, in the Mediterranean, and at the border of Belarus: “I have so much pain thinking about them.”

Francis also noted that migrants who are forced to return to their home countries sometimes face capture by human traffickers who sell them into slavery.

“To migrants who find themselves in these situations of crisis, I assure you of my prayers, and also of my heart: know that I am always close to you,” the pope stated.

“Pray and act,” he added. “I thank all the institutions of both the Catholic Church and elsewhere, especially the national Caritas and all those who are committed to alleviating their suffering.”

Francis made an appeal to those in a position to help find a solution to the problems which lead to the death and exploitation of immigration and refugees, “so that understanding and dialogue finally prevail over any kind of exploitation and direct the will and efforts towards solutions that respect the humanity of these people.”

“Let us think of migrants, of their suffering, and pray in silence,” he said, pausing for prayer.

Checking Out the Ingredient Label on Vaccines - Bloomberg

Reading the ingredients 

In this week's edition of the Covid Q&A, we go back to vaccine basics. In hopes of making this confusing time just a little less so, each week Bloomberg Prognosis picks one question sent in by readers and puts it to experts in the field. This week's question comes to us from Katherine. She asks:

What is actually in the vaccines?

Nearly a year into the rollout, when shot talk has become part of daily life, it can be easy to take for granted some of the most basic (and confusing) things about vaccines. Much like reading the ingredients on your favorite candy bar or soda, looking at the fine print can invite more questions than answers. 

“This is a boring way to answer, but I'd refer the reader to this CDC website,” says David Topham, an immunologist at the University of Rochester Medical Center, referring to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

“The vaccines each have a number of components with the two mRNA vaccines being mostly lipid (fat) and mRNA coding for the spike protein of the virus,” says Topham. That’s right — mRNA, or messenger ribonucleic acid, is actually one of the ingredients in both the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines. It’s what tells the body how to create a (harmless) piece of viral protein to build up an immune response against SARS-CoV-2. Otherwise, those vaccines are composed of fats that help the mRNA enter the body’s cells, and sugars and acid stabilizers to help keep the vaccine stable as it’s manufactured and shipped around the world.

“The third vaccine approved in the U.S. is an adenovirus genetically engineered to express the spike protein,” Topham says, referring to the shot produced by Johnson & Johnson. “The adenovirus is based on a virus that causes common colds in people, but it's been significantly weakened.” The harmless version of a virus is unrelated to Covid-19. Much like the mRNA vaccines, it gives the body instructions for how to protect itself against Covid-19. Otherwise, the vaccine is all sugars, salts, acid and acid stabilizers. 

In both types of vaccines, many ingredients are ones you commonly find in foods and other pharmaceutical products, like sodium chloride (you know it as table salt) or citric acid, found naturally in citrus fruits useful for both preserving drugs and making ricotta in your home kitchen. 

It’s also worth noting that the vaccines don’t contain ingredients that sometimes make people squeamish: preservatives such as thimerosal or mercury, antibiotics, tissues of any kind or metals.

Thanks to all of you for writing in this week! Next Sunday, we'll be answering the best question we receive again. So if you have any, we want to hear from you. Write to us at CovidQs@bloomberg.net—Kristen V. Brown  

Track the virus

The U.K. and Singapore are the first places to impose travel restrictions to travelers from South Africa and other countries in the continent, where a new Covid-19 variant is spreading. Cities in these three nations are among the destinations the Bloomberg Covid-19 Travel Tracker is following to determine which places are the most open and easiest to visit.

The 24 Best Dog Foods For Dachshunds - Discover Magazine

This article contains affiliate links to products. We may receive a commission for purchases made through these links.

Dachshunds are some of the most recognizable dogs in the world. Their unique sausage shape has seen them dubbed as “wiener dogs”, and they’re incredibly loyal companions that love their owners. If you’re a dachshund owner, you know that a good diet is important to their health, as dachshunds can easily become overweight. An overweight dachshund, or any dog, for that matter, can end up with serious heart and joint problems. Unfortunately, much of the dog food you find in stores isn’t healthy. 

A lot of dog food is made with additives, preservatives, and meat by-products. Some foods are also loaded with grain as filler, whether it’s brown rice, wheat, or some other substitute. Grain is a necessary component of a dog’s health—or the dietary fiber in the grain is. But that doesn’t mean a dog food loaded with grains is good, either, because grains can make your dachshund gain weight. 

Once your pup gains the weight, it’s difficult to get it off. That’s why it’s so important to pay close attention to what you’re feeding your dog. In this guide, we’ll go over 24 dog foods that are perfect for dachshunds and other small breeds. These foods are made from high-quality, premium, wholesome ingredients for the health of your furry best friend.
