Driven the homeless outreach van up and down the Florida Keys stopping to talk to people looking for help? Done that.

Recognise opportunities for greater collaboration in defence, health, education energy, climate change
External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar and his French counterpart Jean-Yves Le Drian discussed ways to speed up discussions on the long-pending India-EU trade and investment agreement and opportunities for collaboration in other sectors in a bilateral meeting on Tuesday.
“In the context of the changes in a Covid-impacted world, both Ministers recognised the immense opportunities for greater collaboration in diverse sectors such as trade and investments, defence and security, health, education, research and innovation, energy and climate change,” as per an official release circulated by the Ministry of External Affairs following the bilateral talks.
The parks and beaches director position recently roused from the countyâs pre-COVID-19 budget and posted on the countyâs website netted six applicants within the first two weeks.
The request for a countywide director was made by Monroe County Commissioner Mike Forster, who had been lobbied by Tavernier residents concerned with overuse at Harry Harris Park.
âI know the county had posted the job last year before COVID hit and from what I understand they had 84 applicants. The time has come to concentrate on the parks within the county,â Forster said.
The director would work with the countyâs public works department and the administration staff to provide greater oversight of county parks as well as to institute park programming.
In the midst of all the drama surrounding Deshaun Watson, and with the Texans largely rendered irrelevant in the upcoming NFL Draft (the first night of the draft is two weeks from Thursday) because Bill O Brien s crappy trades have left them without a first or second round pick, we sometimes need a reminder that the team HAS actually been making an effort to improve its roster this offseason.
New general manager Nick Caserio has been very, very busy signing seemingly any available C-level free agent to a one- or two-year deal for a modest (by NFL standards) wage. Along the way, the Texans GM may have actually stumbled upon some players who can not only help in 2021, but might be worth keeping around longer than that.
