Albania has officially drawn the
line, Sazan 'lsland is being cleared. In an stunning turn of events, Albanian authorities have
launched an active enforcement operation to kick
out foreign developers and private security
personnel occupying Sazan Island. The decisive
action marks a total collapse of the controversial €1.4 billion luxury real estate deal that aimed to turn the protected national marine reserve and
former military base into an exclusive private playground for global elites,
The eviction comes after four consecutive weeks of historic
hundred-thousand-strong protests that completely
shut down the capital city of Tirana, refusing to allow their native coastlines and ecologically sensitive wetlands to be privatized by foreign
investors, the Albanian public unified under a
single, unyielding demand: "Albania is not for sale, the courts faced with a historic political crisis, mounting
domestic fury, and a widening anti-corruption
investigation by special prosecutors (SPAK), the
government was forced to pivot, by deploying state forces to reclaim Sazan lsland, Albania has
sent a clear message to international billionaires
and foreign developers trying to bypass environmental protection laws, This historic victory for citizen-led activism proves that the collective voice of a nation can successfully overpower backroom corporate deals and protect sovereign land.
The people spoke, and the
government had to listen.

This was an ugly project in a beautiful, but high fire risk area. Political shenanigans and a pressure campaign on wildlife agencies. Glad the courts upheld the law. Thx to the groups who fought this!

These faithful partners have proudly served the people of New Orleans, and now they're headed to loving farms on the Northshore to enjoy a well-earned retirement!

This teacher took an idea from The King’s Speech, a 2010 film about Britain’s King George VI learning to manage a serious speaking difficulty, and tried it in a real classroom.

Matthew Burton was teaching at Thornhill Community Academy in Dewsbury, a town in northern England. In 2013, the school was being filmed for Educating Yorkshire, a documentary series shown on Channel 4, a British television broadcaster.

One of Burton’s pupils was Musharaf Asghar, known as Mushy. He had a severe stutter and was preparing for the spoken part of his English exam, taken by teenagers in England before they leave secondary school.

Burton remembered the film scene where the king speaks while sound plays through headphones. He put headphones on Mushy, played music by Ben Howard, and asked him to read a poem by Margaret Atwood.

With the music in his ears, Mushy spoke with far less struggle.

The method helped him complete his speaking exam, and that classroom moment became one of the most remembered scenes from Educating Yorkshire.

@scottwestacre Oh, I have my eyes open. Painting gold on statues, painting blue on a pool bottom - waste of money for a grifter who thinks only of himself. Public lands auctioned off; gutting food assistance for the poor. DHS gets 150 vehicles, GEO gets prisons.

@RWPUSA Saw a great story on the Yellowstone Club. Their goal is to encircle a swath of land that will now be private. The new Epstein Island. The federal land in the swap has lower wildlife and recreation value.
