By the 1930s, his son and grandson, J.D. and Joe Weishar, were working at Central, too. But in 1939, Central went out of business. That could have been the end of the Weishars in glass. Then J.D. Weishar decided on a new approach. He bought Central's mould-making equipment and opened Island Mould & Machine in his aunt's three-car garage on Wheeling Island. In 1947 he moved it to the north side of Wheeling but kept the name, and it operates there today. The Weishar men like to say that mould makers are the unsung heroes of the glass industry. Pieces made from the company's moulds touch every part of daily life. Do you have the iconic Blenko water pitcher? Island Mould made the moulds for both the large and small ones, along with lots of other tableware, barware, and collectibles—and everything from “walk/don't walk” lights to wing tip lenses for airplanes to scientific glassware.

A debate is blooming in Christchurch on whether or not people should be allowed to pick flowers in public parks. It follows some pretty brazen thefts in the Garden City, of not just flowers but entire plants. The local council have even decided to no longer plant tulips in one display because they're disappearing almost overnight. With spring knocking at the door and councils across the motu preparing their flower beds, we thought we'd dig into the story further. Is it ethical to pick a flower, or even allowed? Director of Christchurch's Botanical Gardens Wolfgang Bopp spoke to Anna Thomas.

He didn't give me a topic so what I wanted to do is cover the crazy situation in India where the deputy mayor has just envisioned women only pink parks for all civic wards in Delhi. These 'pink parks' will have toilets, CCTV cameras and gym facilities and graffiti to offer the women a comfortable horticultural space. This is how simpish that country has become. Excluding men from private female spaces. But god forbid that men should have their own spaces too. The men probably have to poo in holes in the ground in the other parks with no toilets. Funny enough I was trying to copy past the article about this from some Indian Online publication and it wouldn't let me. That was the first an only time I've seen something like that online. So why is the deputy mayor of Delhi such a simp? He's trying to buy the female vote which is the biggest one so that he or his party remain in power. That's probably all this is about. Delhi has 250 wards so that means 250 female only parks. Funny enough the article explains everything that's being planned in the first two paragraphs and then repeats the same talking points in different ways another five or six times. I guess they get paid by the word in India. A senior member of government put this proposal forth to the government and another official said this and I quote: "A 'pink park' sounds very good but we, as a civic body, cannot just restrict access to a large segment of the male population, which include elderly people too, who may not agree to a public park being restricted to be used by people of just one gender," he said. "We will work on it as and when we get a request from an area councilor. If there is a demand from the residents and the councillors who represent them make a proposal for such women-only parks, we will take it forward," the official said." Unquote. Of course there's going to be a demand from women. Since when do they give up any of their privleges. Since when do they refuse to accept ne privleges? I'll discuss more in a moment but let me first tell everyone about today's sponsor Moneyline investments:Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/mgtow/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Everyone should live within 10 minutes of a public park. Why? Because public green space improves overall health, strengthens community ties, combats climate change, and - when implemented correctly - reduces inequality. Our guest today is George Dusenbury, Vice President Southern Region and the Georgia State Director at the Trust for Public Land, an organization whose mission is to expand access to the outdoors by creating public parks and protecting public lands. In this episode, we explore exciting TPL initiatives like green schoolyards in New York City and the exciting Chattahoochee RiverLands Project that promises to transform the Atlanta metro area and beyond. We also discuss greenspace as essential infrastructure, the importance of local input,, and the resources available for anyone who wants to expand access to nature in their own communities. Show NotesTrust For Public LandAbout George Dusenbury Chattahoochee RiverLands ProjectThe Land & People LabPolicy & LegislationResource LibrarySCAPE Studio Key Words: Trust For Public Land, Public Parks, Parks & Recreation, Green Space, Climate, Climate Change, Chattahoochee River, Chattahoochee RiverLands Project, Biophilia, Biophilic Design, Nature, Outdoors, Nature Based Solutions

The full post by Shanel Khaliq can be read at https://blog.castac.org/2023/05/violence-freedom-gender-and-the-politics-of-surveillance-in-public-parks/. About the post: Cities all over the world have witnessed a surge in the use of surveillance technologies, such as data-gathering phone apps, facial recognition software, and closed-circuit television (CCTV) cameras among others, to address crime and safety in public spaces. While it may appear that these technologies unequivocally create a safe environment regardless of social identities, unresolved incidents of violence against women and transgender bodies in public spaces suggest otherwise.

Cities in some parts of Canada have launched pilot programs that allow people to legally drink alcohol in public parks. But critics of the idea argue legalizing public consumption of alcohol will lead to irresponsible, and potentially unsafe, behaviour.

Gian-Carlo Carra, Calgary city councillor for Ward 9, explains why his city has expanded an alcohol in parks pilot program that began last year and Stephen Holyday, councillor for Toronto's Ward 2, discusses concerns about the idea from residents in that city; and Dan Malleck, a medical historian and health studies professor at Brock University, shares the history of prohibition in Canada.
