The big news at the annual fall meeting of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops was the Holy See’s decision that we delay adopting new policies for the discipling of bishops accused of misconduct and the mishandling of cases involving abuse of minors by clergy. The president of our conference informed the body of bishops of this on the morning of Nov. 12; I was given advance notice just before the meeting by Cardinal DiNardo, president of the USCCB. It is not clear whether the Holy See had specific concerns with the proposals being presented. We were told that we should wait until the meeting in February when the Holy Father is gathering all the presidents of the bishops’ conferences to address child protection, so that our decisions can be informed by listening to our brother bishops from around the world. While the request that we delay was disappointing, given the work done in preparation for our meeting, I rose to encourage a pathway forward. As I remarked, there was no reason why the body of bishops could not take up the discussion as scheduled, fine tune the documents and then take a resolution ballot to make clear to our people where we stand, but also to give the president of our conference a clear indication of the mind of the bishops in the United States as he prepares to participate in the February meeting. My final suggestion was that we should meet again in March, or shortly after the February meeting in Rome, to take up our proposals, informed by the input of other bishops’ conferences from around the world, and then adopt new policies that build on the progress we have made since 2002. That progress is substantial and includes full background checks on employees and volunteers, safe-environment training for adults and children, procedures for mandatory reporting to civil authorities, cooperating with law enforcement, transparency in communicating with parishioners and outreach through a victims-assistance team. What was missing in our procedures were clear provisions for disciplining bishops who mishandle cases or abuse minors. That is the work we now will need to complete after the February meeting in Rome. To my mind, in taking this unprecedented action of calling the presidents of the world’s bishops conferences to Rome, the Holy Father is making clear that he recognizes the urgency of this issue and that this is a watershed moment in the life of the church. Time and again, he has shown his resolve to comprehensively address this scourge, by removing bishops who mishandle cases of the abuse of minors and by disciplining cardinals and bishops for misconduct, to the point of laicizing some. Pope Francis is calling for radical reform in the life of the church, for he understands that this crisis is about the abuse of power and a culture of protection and privilege, which have created a climate of secrecy, without accountability for misdeeds. All of that has to end, not only in terms of how it risks the safety of children, but also how the abuse of power by certain leaders undermines the Gospel and injures the faith lives of the people the ordained have been sent to serve. The meeting in February also demonstrates that Pope Francis does not believe that the abuse of minors by clergy is strictly an American or Western problem, but rather he knows that it is a global one for the church. We bishops will have time to prayerfully consider our next steps in January, when we will gather for a retreat at Chicago’s own seminary in Mundelein. The Holy Father has chosen the Capuchin Father Raniero Cantalamessa to lead the retreat. He has served as papal preacher of the papal household since 1980, when St. Pope John Paul II appointed him. I very much need your prayers and ask you to pray for the bishops as they prepare to take action in the weeks and months ahead. I am convinced we will get this right, but only with God’s help and the involvement of all in the church, especially laypeople. That is my prayer. Please make it your own.

While there are many uses for augmented reality in the automotive industry, adoption has been slow. With the plethora of makes and models on the road today and rolling off assembly lines tomorrow, developing and deploying knowledge bases that utilize augmented reality to dealerships and garages can be costly and difficult to scale. Bosch Automotive Service Solutions has proposed an answer with its Common Augmented Reality Platform (CAP), which gives automakers an interface for writing, editing, and publishing AR content for iOS, Android, and Windows. "CAP is a production ready platform that provides the tools to enable a technical author, not a programmer, to develop and manage AR content efficiently. It also provides for an effective management and delivery of large and variable data sets, and includes a highly optimized GUI and runtime client for delivery to the end user," said Rob Butz, the director of business development for the technical information services segment at Bosch Automotive Service Solutions, in an email interview with NextReality. One area where augmented reality can introduce improvements for the auto industry comes in the service arena. Visualizing the complex internals of modern vehicles can help technicians diagnose repairs more quickly and efficiently. As an example, integrating AR with diagnostics will provide the ability to augment the location of connectors and wiring harnesses and associate them with a specific diagnostic trouble code. It would eliminate the need for a technician to search through a manual and then have to transfer that written knowledge to the vehicle. With AR, it's right in front of them, visually. Besides maintenance, AR has several other use-cases for the auto industry, including operator's manuals and product information for customers, and sales and marketing collateral for dealerships. Today, few dealerships have adopted AR outside of proof-of-concepts for specific models, though Bosch expects adoption to increase over the next few years. "As with any new technology, the introduction of AR will take some time to gain full acceptance. There are also more improvements yet to come in the tracking technologies and the hardware," said Butz. How else do you envision AR improving the auto industry? Let us know in the comments.

in my dreams, i live here: palm springs. when i was growing up, every easter break my family headed to palm springs. i got to bring a friend and we stayed in motels like the tropics and gene autrey’s melody ranch (which is now the parker). i loved it there. it was warm and the heat was dry. the architecture, before i ever appreciated such things, was mid-century modern. it was the 60’s and the ambience was very sinatra-esque. i remember going for a drive to see bob hope’s big spaceship looking home in the hills and taking the palm springs tram to the mountain tops where out of the sunny blue skies was snow. weird. so, in my dreams, i sometimes live in palm springs. it’s hot in palm springs, so i’m going to keep things minimal and allow a feeling of space and a lot of light. a lot of great mid-century modern chairs will fill the living area like this eichler home via dwell, and a collection of rarities like verner patton chairs, this rattan chair styled by danielle witte and some 1957 JANINE ABRAHAM / DIRK JAN ROL lemon chairs. the kitchen will be ultra modern white hot like this from the design files and apartment therapy with modern cabinetry and opening shelving to display my ceramic collections like this one from Martín Gómez Arquitectos. same for the dining area with saarinen-like white swivel chairs, modern art and geometic terrariums. and more ceramics like these from white beauties from sara paloma.

Hey Beauties! I think you all know that October is breast cancer awareness month. So I came up with a nail design to support it. This is the design, with dots and pink ribbons :) To create this design you need light pink (from Flormar in shade 32), neon pink (from Wild Mild in shade 006 Pink Mania) and gray nail polish (from L'Oreal Color Riche in shade 617 You Are Worth It). You also need a dotting tool and nail art brush to do ribbons. First I painted two nails with light pink nail polish and three nails with gray nail polish. I made gray dots to the nails that I painted light pink and light pink dots to two of the nails that I painted gray. To the third nail that I painted gray, I'll make pink ribbons with light pink and neon pink nail polish and to do it I'll use a nail art brush. After that I apply top coat to seal in my design, I used Konad top coat this time. Hope you enjoyed this post and see you in my next post :) Thanks for reading! :)

Mildew is a problem that can occur inside a home, outdoors and on any surface that has been exposed to moisture. In the case of plants, however, the appearance of mildew is the cause of a fungal disease. Often referred to as powdery mildew, this fungus is visible on plants as a white, powdery substance on the surface of stems and leaves. This mildew affects everything from vegetable plants to houseplants. The spots of white will appear larger and more widespread as the disease progresses. If not curtailed, powdery mildew will eventually overtake a plant and cause it to die. Use these tips to prevent otherwise healthy plants from succumbing to fungal disease. 1Water plants in the morning. Watering early allows the water to evaporate off of leaves before evening, keeping the plant dry for a longer period. 2Water plants at soil level. Pour water close to the base of the plant and avoid getting too much water on the leaves and stems. 3Remove old plant material from the area where the plant will be contained. Many diseases from earlier plants can be transferred to new plant material, and can linger on old plant debris or roots. 4Clean any planting tools, such as trowels or clippers. Wash all tools thoroughly after each use to prevent the spread of fungal disease. 5Maintain a balanced soil. Over-watered soil allows bacteria to form and leads to fungal disease and powdery mildew. 6Plant clean seeds. Use new seeds that have not previously been placed in the planting area. 7Keep plants separate. Place plants apart from one another so that they are able to take airflow. More air will allow for less moisture buildup. 8Plant closely related vegetables in different parts of your garden. Varieties of vegetable plants that are close in species will spread disease more easily from one plant to another. 9Weed your garden. Remove any weeds that come in close contact with your plants since they can also carry fungal disease. 10Apply solutions to reduce mildew. - Create a mildew spray. Combine 1 gallon (3.78 liters) of water, 1 tbsp. (15 ml) of dishwashing liquid, 1 tbsp. (15 ml) of baking soda and 1 tbsp. (15 ml) of vegetable oil in a spray bottle. Spray the tops and undersides of all leaves with the mixture once per week to prevent further spread of mildew. - Combine 1 part skim milk to 9 parts water in a spray bottle. Spray the leaves of the plant weekly. - Prior to planting a garden or buying houseplants, select disease-resistant, adapted varieties of plants in order to lessen the chance of the development of fungal disease and mildew. Things You'll Need - Dishwashing liquid - Vegetable oil - Baking soda - Skim milk - Spray bottle

India and Nepal seek to turn the page on an acrimonious phase in bilateral ties with new initiatives in connectivity, trade and agriculture between the two neighbours Prime Minister Narendra Modi with Nepalese Prime Minister K.P. Oli as they arrive for a bilateral meeting at Hyderabad house in New Delhi on Saturday. New Delhi: India and Nepal on Saturday sought to turn the page on an acrimonious phase in bilateral ties over the Himalayan nation’s 2015 constitution with new “game-changing” initiatives in connectivity, trade and agriculture between the two neighbours. But evidence of past irritants casting a shadow on ties was clear with the Nepalese Prime Minister K.P Sharma Oli stressing on the need for building mutual trust and seeking a relationship based on friendship, in a speech he gave on Saturday, hours after talks with Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Oli arrived in New Delhi on Friday in keeping with the tradition of India being the first foreign destination of any newly sworn in Nepalese prime minister. During official talks in New Delhi, the two countries agreed to construct a new electrified rail line, with India’s financial support, connecting the border city of Raxaul to Kathmandu in Nepal. This could be seen as an attempt by New Delhi to counter China’s reported moves to build a rail link between Tibet and Kathmandu. Another key decision taken after talks between the visiting Oli and Modi was on the development of inland waterways. This will help “the movement of cargo, within the framework of trade and transit arrangements, providing additional access to sea for Nepal,” an Indian foreign ministry statement said. “This new initiative would enable cost effective and efficient movement of cargo. The Prime Minister of Nepal noted the enormous impact the additional connectivity would have on the growth of business and economy of Nepal,” it said. The two prime ministers also attended the ground breaking ceremony of South Asia’s first transnational petroleum pipeline, that will supply fuel from India to Nepal. The 69km pipeline from Motihari in Bihar to Amlekhganj in Nepal will deliver 2 million tonnes per annum (MTPA) of petroleum products to the fuel-starved country and will be built at a cost of around Rs200 crore. These decisions are significant given that in the past Nepal has been seen as keen to develop alternate routes to end its dependence on India for energy, connectivity, trade and transit due to its landlocked status. It was during Oli’s previous stint as PM in 2016 that Nepal had sought to lessen its dependence on India as a principal supplier of key essential items like energy as well as the route for transit and trade. Oli had visited China soon after a trip to India in February 2016 and signed pacts for the import of fuel and on trade. This came after acrimony between India and Nepal over its 2015 constitution that seemed to marginalise some 51% of the country’s population and bestow extra political rights and privileges on the hill tribes constituting 49% of the population. The bitterness grew as India was seen as supportive of the deprived Tharus, Madhsesis and Janjatis who blocked key supply routes between the two countries, preventing trucks carrying fuel and medicines among other essentials from reaching Nepal. India was also seen as instrumental in triggering the collapse of a fragile coalition government in Nepal, leading to Oli’s resignation as prime minister in August 2016. On Saturday, the emphasis seemed to be to aside the differences of the past and move forward. In his comments after talks with Oli, Modi said India will always stand by Nepal in its quest for all-round growth, adding that deeper cooperation between the neighbours would strengthen democracy in Nepal. Modi also hailed successful conduct of national polls in Nepal under the provisions of the new constitution that has seen Oli’s leftist coalition alliance win a strong three-fourths majority. In provincial polls too, Oli’s alliance performed well, solidifying its presence across the country. On his part, Oli said his government wants to build a strong edifice of “trust-based” relationship between the two nations. “I have come to India with an aim to enhance our relations to newer heights commensurate with the realities of the 21st century,” Oli said. The Nepalese prime minister said his country needs support from its friends adding “relations among neighbours is different from other relations. This is based on mutual respect.” Modi also accepted an invitation from Oli to visit Nepal this year. Nepal is to host the summit of BIMSTEC countries—a bloc that groups together select countries from South and Southeast Asia, something India is keen to promote given that India-Pakistan tensions over cross border terrorism has seen another region grouping in South Asia—SAARC—flounder. Briefing reporters after the talks in New Delhi, foreign secretary Vijay Gokhale described the visit as “satisfactory” for both prime ministers. He described the rail and waterways connectivity initiatives as well as another proposal for India to help Nepal in agriculture as “game changing initiatives.” Emphasis was given to ensuring completion of connectivity projects outlined in the past, he said.

The seven-member group ranges from fourth- to eighth grade. Pope Francis has appointed an order priest born in Haiti as the new pastoral leader for the Diocese of Charleston. Bishop Robert E. Guglielmone made the following assignments for priests in the Diocese of Charleston. Msgr. Ronald R. Cellini and Father Raphael Ghattas, pastor and parochial vicar of St. Gregory the Great Church, ministered the sacrament of the anointing of the sick. Traditionally, February is the month that is dedicated to the Holy Family. Decide what small things you can do often to show appreciation for your spouse. When you join romance with commitment, life really begins anew. Hay libros enteros escritos sobre el tema de “la identidad”. It was the day after our wedding. I remember driving on Interstate 70 East, away from Kansas City. Being raised in the South molds a young adult’s perspective on Black history and Black History Month. The sacrament of marriage brings with it a calling and a vocation to share the Gospel in a special way. A cemetery so overgrown it could be used for a horror film, and the person hired to beautify that chaos "Family life wasn’t very steady ... through it all, we received a lot of support from the Church." We celebrate St. Valentine, however, the Church dedicates the month of February to the Holy Family. As we move into the month of February, the phrase “standing in the breach” and the concept of “breach-menders” keep coming to me. Pope St. John Paul II initiated the celebration of World Day of the Sick to show solidarity with the ill and their caregivers, and to encourage the faithful to pray for them. The Catholic Church has long spoken out against the evil that is the human trafficking industry. Every time I meet a Catholic religious sister what strikes me is the joy they exude.

The Ox-Bow Incident is a Western with a simple plot that takes a critical look at capital punishment, following a posse from a backwater town in Nevada who are hellbent on seeking vengeance for the murder of a local rancher. Our hero is Gil (Henry Fonda), a cowboy who is ambivalent about the ethics of the posse’s brand of justice. The posse forms a motley crew, one of whom is Jenny “Ma” Grier (Jane Darwell), a fat women who is well-liked by the others. She is outside binary gender categories. The town is characterized in the first scene as lacking women; which is both denied and reinforced by her presence and appearance. Her nickname ties her to womanhood, but when the judge balks at her wanting to be part of the posse because of her gender, she and the others laugh at him. She is asked to cook for the men on the trail– despite the fact that most, if not all, of the men in the posse are able to cook a meal over an open campfire– but also volunteers to take an active part in the hanging of the posse’s suspects, “if no one else will.” As she says this, she looks around at the others in the group, wordlessly accusing them of being sissies. In stark contrast to Ma is Gerald (William Eythe). Gerald is coded as queer; his father Major Tetley (Frank Conroy), formerly of the Confederate Army, is the sternly vicious leader of the posse, and demands that Gerald come along in an attempt to “make a man of [him].” Gerald is sickened at the sight of blood, and tries to oppose hanging the suspects without a fair trial. Ma is a great example of the layered politics of representation. She’s a fat, gender nonconforming woman who is respected by the other townspeople, speaks her mind with confidence, and effortlessly laughs off sexist comments. It would be easy enough to join Team Ma based on these components, but paradoxically, the degree to which she blends in with the majority of the posse makes it impossible to admire her. Her seeming ability to overcome marginalization doesn’t excuse the unethical nature of her choices in the film. I saw this film pretty soon after reading Tasha Fierce’s great essay The Revolution Will Not Be Plus-Sized, which describes a real-world parallel: by demanding that mainstream clothing lines offer a greater range of clothing sizes, fat people are making a political goal of (further) assimilation into an industry that thrives on exploitative labor practices and “the cultural push to appear normative.” When we demand respect and representation, does that mean we have to compromise ethical stances in deference to the status quo of the oppressive group in order to get what we need?
(WOMENSENEWS)–The May 31 murder of Dr. George Tiller, the prominent Wichita, Kan., abortion provider, is putting reproductive health clinics on guard and causing pro-choice advocates to measure the depth of their loss. On Tuesday Tiller’s lawyers announced his Kansas abortion clinic–the only one in the state outside Kansas City–would close. In response to the murder–allegedly at the hands of an anti-choice extremist who shot the late-term abortion provider while he was serving as an usher at church–armed federal marshals and private guards are patrolling threatened U.S. clinics. “We have in-depth security measures in place,” says Diane Quest, a spokeswoman for the Washington-based Planned Parenthood Federation of America, the largest U.S. provider of abortion services, with more than 850 health centers. “It would be inappropriate to discuss our security measures in detail. But we are grateful to federal, state and local law enforcement for the way they have responded to this incident.” In 1993, Florida’s Dr. David Gunn was the first identified as murdered by anti-choice extremists. The following year produced a peak of abortion-related violence, when 52 percent of clinics came under some kind of attack, according to a February survey by the Feminist Majority Foundation of Arlington, Va. 1998 Murder in Buffalo, N.Y. The violence of the 1990s included the shocking 1998 murder of Dr. Barnett Slepian, who was shot and killed in front of his wife and four children in Buffalo, N.Y. The murder marked the climax of a series of five sniper attacks in four years in northern New York and Canada. At the time, Slepian was the fourth doctor and seventh person in the United States to be killed because of their involvement with performing abortions. Since the end of the 1990s antiabortion violence has abated from its peak, but has remained intense. In 2008, 20 percent of reproductive healthcare clinics suffered violence, according to the Feminist Majority survey. Most often the violence took the form of blockades, facility invasions and stalking. But it also included bomb threats, death threats and physical attacks. Eleanor Smeal, president of the Feminist Majority Foundation, worries the violence may intensify now that the antiabortion forces have lost President George W. Bush, a key ally in the White House. “We suspect a call was made to escalate harassment and intimidation because of election defeats,” Smeal says. Tiller weathered dramatic adversities: a 1993 gunshot attack, a clinic bombing and 30 months of federal marshal protection before his murder. The battle to save abortion services has also been losing ground on other fronts, says Nancy Keenan, president of the Washington-based NARAL Pro-Choice America. “Over time, there has been a concerted, comprehensive effort to set up obstacles to prevent women from obtaining safe, legal abortions,” says Keenan. “And now, Dr. Tiller’s tragic murder is bringing these issues to the forefront.” The average abortion provider in the United States is more than 50 years old. The number of providers nationwide–1,700–is about half of what it was 30 years ago, reports the Philadelphia-based Medical Students for Choice. Nearly 90 percent of U.S. counties have no abortion services, reports the New York-based Guttmacher Institute. “Providers are daunted by the dramatic increase in state restrictions passed since 1992,” says Louise Melling, director of the reproductive freedom project for the New York-based American Civil Liberties Union. Range of Restrictions Such restrictions include gestational time limits (enforced in 37 states); parental permission in for minors (34 states); waiting periods (24 states) and counseling mandates (17 states). Many restrictions, Melling says, wind up requiring patients to make multiple trips to he doctor. After Bush-supported legislation banned intact dilation and extraction–the procedure used in 85 percent of second-trimester abortions–in 2003, later-term providers such as Tiller became a vanishing breed. “Fewer than 50 providers in the U.S. now offer abortion at up to 24 weeks of pregnancy, or fetal viability,” says Alison Edelman, a spokeswoman for the New York-based Physicians for Reproductive Choice and Health. “And Dr. Tiller was one of only three providers who offered abortion during the last trimester.” Tiller offered abortions to women who learned only in the third trimester that their deformed fetuses had genetic abnormalities and would not survive outside the womb. He also served adolescent girls who were victims of rape or incest and who were not physically developed enough to carry pregnancies to term. “Dr. Tiller was a physician of last resort,” says Susan Yanow, a spokesperson for the Cambridge-based Second Trimester Access Initiative. “Now, the women he served have few resorts left.” Molly M.

John Howard at the presidential lectern in the White House with George W Bush. John Howard at the Pentagon with Donald Rumsfeld. John Howard being praised by Rupert Murdoch at a black tie dinner. John Howard with Tony Blair at 10 Downing Street. John Howard visiting Aussie blast victims in a London hospital. John Howard chatting with John Major in the member's pavillion at Lord's. John Howard with headphones and mike in the CCCP (Central Cricket Commentary Position) live to air on the Beeb. Never more than this week has the Australian prime minister reminded me so much of Woody Allen in "Zelig". Or maybe Forrest Gump. It was such an amazing coincidence for the England and Wales Cricket Board to stage a Lord's Ashes Test in the very same week that JWH should be checking in with the boss in Washington and with the brethren in Mother England. Just another opportunity for the Walter Mitty of Australian politics to act out his fantasy as Bob Menzies' long lost love child. For once, at least some of the British media had advance warning. Marina Hyde's piece is a tad inaccurate in places (President Lagos of Chile completed his state visit to Australia a week before her article was published), but the drift is there. Saturday afternoon, tea-time, and time for the inevitable - John Howard hits the air waves on Test Match Special. (At least they had the good sense not to put him on while play was in progress.) For fifteen minutes a fawning Jon Agnew, ever the post-Johnners tory, talked terrorism with JWH, talked Zimbabwe with JWH, and even talked cricket. We heard of the one and only time he saw Bradman bat, we heard of the merry late night DVD screenings of Steve Waugh's 2003 SCG hundred, we were told that Glenn McGrath is, along with Dennis Lillee and Ray Lindwall, one of Australia's three great fast bowlers. (Run that speed gun past me again.) Howard told us that Ian Chappell was one of Australia's finest captains. An interviewer with more research and more chutzpah could have asked if he thought the same of Chappelli's efforts in opposition to the government's refugee policies. Fifteen minutes are up, the players are back on the field, and the interview is mercifully over. But let's bump into Merv Hughes and have a cackle at the back of the commentary box while CMJ is trying to describe the start of the next session. There's no transcript of the interview online yet, I expect the Prime Ministerial website will have one shortly.
File photo showing a general view of the two chambers of parliament meeting to elect the 100 members of the constituent assembly in Cairo (Photo: Reuters) The Supreme Administrative Court is to rule Tuesday on the constitutionality of Egypt's constituent assembly, which was chosen by the now-dissolved parliament. If the decision is not postponed, the court will decide whether the constitution-drafting body will be dissolved or not. The High Constitutional Court (HCC) ruled on 14 June that the parliamentary election law was unconstitutional and consequently the People's Assembly itself was deemed unconstitutional. The court ruling put the position of the constituent assembly in jeopardy as well. The ruling junta subsequently issued a constitutional addendum stating that if the constitution-drafting body failed to complete its task, the junta would have the right to dissolve it and form a new body. The junta said it had issued the addendum because it thought the constituent assembly might be ruled unconstitutional and thus dissolved. The Muslim Brotherhood, which is the largest party in parliament and whose candidate Mohamed Morsi won recent presidential elections, has stated unofficially that it would not accept the rulings junta's constitutional addendum or the dissolution of the People's Assembly. Several Muslim Brothers have insisted that Morsi will refuse to take oath of office in front of the HCC instead of parliament, implying that it did not recognise the dissolution of parliament. However, other Brotherhood members have said they accept the court verdicts. Such contradictory statements suggest there are still ongoing negotiations between the Brotherhood and the junta over the parliament's future. Prominent political figure Mohamed ElBaradei announced he was mediating between the two parties to avoid escalations.
Gardai and councils need to keep cycle lanes clear for people cycling to use, justice minister Charlie Flanagan has said. “Cycle lanes must be kept clear for cyclists only. Gardai & local authorities must act to enforce the law. I intend convening a meeting with Ministers Ross & @MurphyEoghan to improve matters. This is unacceptable,” Minister Flanagan, said in a Tweet. While making the comment, the minister retweeted an image from Ciarán Ferrie, one of the founders of I Bike Dublin, a group formed a year ago to highlight the issue of parking in cycle lanes. Ferrie tweeted the above image and said: “Just a normal day on the 24 hour mandatory cycle lane on Upper Camden Street – three vehicles in total, several more parked in the bus lane on Lower Camden Street and six vehicles parked in the South Great George’s Street bus lane, but sure who cares, eh? #freethecyclelanes” In reply to the minister, I Bike Dublin said: “, it is the culture in our roads and seen as acceptable by law enforcement. Only proper enforcement and stronger penalties can change this. We are counting on you.” Last year campaigners from I Bike Dublin photograph more illegal parking in a week than Gardai ticket in a year. While agreeing the lane in question was a 24 hour cycle lane, the Dublin Cycling Campaign said: “It could help simplify matters by removing time-plating of cycle lanes (and bus lanes) and making all of them 24/7. The current practice of part-time bike/bus lanes that become a free-for-all outside of operational hours reinforces the notion that they are at drivers’ disposal.” The group added: “…the confusion surrounding time-plating has been put forward as an excuse for lack of enforcement in the past. A common 24/7 policy across a city or local area would, at least, remove such an excuse – pithy as it is.” In a 2013 the vast majority of Dublin City councillor who responded to a survey said that they wanted part-time cycle lanes phased out. Cycle lanes must be kept clear for cyclists only. Gardai & local authorities must act to enforce the law. I intend convening a meeting with Ministers Ross & @MurphyEoghan to improve matters. This is unacceptable. https://t.co/xZo89YPjx0 — Charlie Flanagan (@CharlieFlanagan) June 23, 2018 Hello Reader... IrishCycle.com is a reader-funded journalism publication. Effectively it's an online newspaper covering news and analyses of cycling and related issues, including cycle route designs, legal changes, and pollical and cultural issues. There are examples, big and small, which show that the reader-funded or listener-funding model can work to support journalism -- from the Dublin Inquirer and The Guardian to many podcasts. To make it work for IrishCycle.com, it just needs enough people like you to believe! Monthly subscriptions will give IrishCycle.com's journalism a dependable base of support. But please don't take free access for granted. Last year IrishCycle.com had an average of 15,800 readers per month and we know our readers include people who cycle and those who don't, politicians, officials and campaigners. I know only a small percentage of readers will see the value of keeping this open enough to subscribe, that's the reality of the reader-funded model. But more support is needed to keep this show on the road. The funding drive was started in November 2021 and, as of the start of February, 210 readers have kindly become monthly subscribers -- thank you very much to all that have! But currently, it's only around 1.3% of readers who subscribe. So, if you can, please join them and subscribe today via ko-fi.com/irishcycle/tiers

COVID-19 has dramatically changed the retail landscape with ecommerce being more important than ever. Within online: Marketplaces are becoming the dominant retail channel. Thus, it is not surprising that this trend is on top of the business agenda of consumer goods CEOs. However, management capabilities are strongly lacking, according to our annual benchmarking study where we surveyed over 100 consumer goods company CEOs and C-level executives. The reasons for the growth trajectory of marketplaces are manifold: Development is fueled by a general and COVID-accelerated growth of the online channel, a double-digit growth of marketplace sellers, and a doubling (as well as ongoing diversification) of marketplaces in the last five years. Why are capabilities for companies so far behind executives’ ambitions? The issues and concerns raised are highly diverse and span across all three possible marketplace collaboration models: - How to best manage third party retailers distributing the brands’ products on marketplaces? - How to deal with the marketplace operators which themselves act as retailers? - How to operate own directo-to-consumer activities on online marketplaces? To better understand the pain points and best-practice, we benchmarked the marketplace operations of 104 firms by using our proprietary framework, which focuses on over 60 capabilities across six dimensions. Our analysis suggests that there is a broad spread of capabilities and only few firms set themselves apart. Our interactive chart below includes best-practice examples related to the six dimensions of our framework. If this topic is also on your agenda, feel free to reach out to us. We’re happy to have a more detailed discussion on the findings of our benchmarking exercise, share actionable marketplace best practice, and discuss our outside-in view on your company’s marketplace skills.

Learn how we applied Pindex Tours in Saint-Imier to give the city a new boost of authenticity through a unique tour for its residents. In 2013, the municipality of Saint-Imier publishes « Saint-Imier à pied » (« Saint-Imier on foot » in French), in partnership with Jura bernois Tourisme. This 30-pages paper brochure guides visitors through the watch industry History and Architecture of the city through 2 thematic walks. A map combining the paths and points of interest of both tours shows the route to visitors while texts and images from the official center of documentation and research of the Jura bernois, Mémoires d’Ici, quenches their thirst for knowledge. A few years later, our team offers the municipality to refresh the tours from « Saint-Imier à pied » by creating a digital version of them in a mobile app. An interactive map using geolocation will help visitors find their way more easily and naturally. At the same time, the content will be updatable in real-time, without the need to print and publish new brochures. Last but not least, the app will be free for everyone to use and will enable visitors to visit Saint-Imier more spontaneously by keeping them from getting their paper copy of the map at the local tourism office. The new project is accepted, and the new digitized tours are released just before the Summer break in 2020, slightly later than expected. However, at Pindex, we decide not to communicate about this event. Indeed, even though we fulfilled our mandate, we deem our product only partly appropriate. As a matter of fact, texts are too long and bloat our visitors’ small smartphone screens, and pictures are not enough to compensate for this unfriendly content. Mid-2020, we propose to the city to digitize both tours one step further to better leverage fantastic smartphone capabilities at our disposal: videos, audio files, augmented reality (AR), quizzes, mini-games, and Internet-of-Things (IoT). Again, this new idea seduces the Economics and Tourism Committee in charge of the project. Therefore, we happily and enthusiastically embark on this new adventure. However, our core business and expertise really focus on technology, not touristic content creation. Consequently, we partner with Fluorescence, an association of cultural mediation experts, and an independent graphic designer, Sébastien Gerber. Together, they shape up and articulate new original content from Mémoires d’Ici into a complete and coherent story, embellished with testimonials from city inhabitants created especially for this project. On our side, at Pindex, we provide our technical expertise to the artists and augment our app with new media types designed to make both tours more interactive and pleasant to the visitors in Saint-Imier. In this context, we develop the quiz, letting visitors test their knowledge about sports at the old « Magasin de Sport Rochat.» We also design a buildings detection mechanism allowing them to see the evolution of different building façades at the « Place du Marché,» through original anecdotes by a former city resident, Henri Diener. Among other scenario achievements, we mention original recordings of inhabitants telling their memories and a unique audio recording of a musical piece that a resident wrote more than 100 years ago, from which no single work had ever been transcripted digitally. In June 2021, we release the new tour « Saint-Imier vue par ses habitants » (« Saint-Imier as seen by its residents » in French) during an official launch event receiving significant coverage from the local press. As a result, the municipality can now offer its visitors a new high-quality, original experience that will stay in the spirit of the times for a long time, thanks to its digital nature.

After a very dry summer, it’s thrilling to see water flow like this at Oak Flat. This is a clip of a waterfall in lower Hackberry Canyon. This canyon drains into Ga’an Canyon. This is a very popular rock climbing location. Here is a series of images taken at Oak Flat December 13, 2019. As long as we stop Rio Tinto and BHP from destroying Oak Flat, we and future generations can look forward to water like this. If the Resolution Copper mine is built, you can kiss these places goodbye forever!
Inappropriate jumping is one of the most common problems seen in dogs. Fortunately, it can be very easy to fix with a combination of patience and consistency. First, we must think about why the dog is engaging in this unwanted behavior. The most common answer is that he is jumping up for attention. When a dog’s paws are on your chest, whether you are giving him a hug or pushing him away, for those few seconds he is the center of your attention. This is very rewarding for a dog. To stop the problem jumping, what we need to do is stop rewarding the behavior we don’t want, and start rewarding the behavior we do want. The reward in this case is our attention. So, from now on, whenever the dog begins to jump up, we must immediately take our attention away. The best way to do this is to simply turn your back, cross your arms, and look at the ceiling. Remember, even negative attention (like yelling “off” or pushing the dog away) is still attention and therefore rewarding to your dog. We must behave as if a jumping dog simply does not exist. After a few seconds or minutes, the dog will become confused about why he is not getting the attention he always gets for jumping up. He will stop jumping and either sit or stand still to think about what to do next. The instant this happens, turn around, get down to the dogs level and reward him with attention. If he begins to jump again, immediately stand back up and repeat the process. We want him to learn that jumping up gets ignored, but sitting or at least having four feet on the floor gets loads of love and attention. Once he figures this out, the choice between whether to jump up or to sit to greet becomes obvious. He will choose to perform the behavior that will earn him the reward he is looking for. When you first begin to practice this, it may take a little bit for the dog to really catch on. For awhile, his first instinct will still be jumping up, and the more he has been rewarded for it in the past, the longer it will continue. But, you will find that he begins to offer the desired behavior (sitting, or four-on-the-floor) faster each time. Don’t get discouraged if he doesn’t get it immediately. Remember, jumping up has been rewarding for him for a very long time. He will still want to do it until he learns that it is no longer rewarded at all, and the only way to get your attention is to offer appropriate behavior. The best way to speed this process along is to make sure that you and everyone else the dog greets is 100% consistent in ignoring a jumping dog and rewarding polite greetings. This cannot be stressed enough! If jumping is ignored most of the time, but rewarded every once in awhile, it will never go away. The dog will always jump up first to see if this is one of the times that will be rewarded. Remember, this must be followed by every person, every time in order to be effective! Consistency is the most important part of training the dog not to jump. If you follow these steps and use patience and consistency, you will find your dog offering polite greetings and sitting patiently for attention in no time! © 2008 Tails of Success 585-360-0030 [email protected] www.TailsofSuccessNy.com By Sherri Romig CPDT-KA Share this article!

USDA Adds Additional Flexibilities for Crop Insurance to Support America’s Farmers and Ranchers RMA Authorizes Self-Certification Replant Inspections and Waives Witness Signatures WASHINGTON, April 3, 2020 – USDA’s Risk Management Agency (RMA) is authorizing self-certification on replant inspections and waiving witness signatures in certain situations as part of a broader suite of flexibilities to support producers during the coronavirus pandemic. Specifically, Approved Insurance Providers (AIPs) may allow the use of self-certification replant inspections for certain crops with 100 gross acres (before considering share) per unit in lieu of 50 acres, and they may waive the witness signature requirement for approval of Assignment of Indemnity through July 15, 2020, for applicable crop years. “RMA recognizes the challenges the crop insurance industry and America’s farmers and ranchers face,” RMA Administrator Martin Barbre said. “We will continue to provide flexibility that supports the health and safety of all parties while also ensuring the Federal crop insurance program continues to serve as a vital risk management tool.” Many state and local governments have issued “stay-at-home” orders in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, which may prevent loss adjusters from completing on-the-farm replant inspections and obtaining associated signatures required for replant certification purposes. In the absence of “stay-at-home” orders, loss adjusters and policyholders may also be prevented from meeting in person due to concerns of spreading COVID-19. For the 2020 crop year only, AIPs are authorized to allow self-certification replant inspections for up to 100 gross acres (before considering share) per unit in lieu of 50 acres. Authorized crops for self-certification of up to 100 acres for replant include: barley and wheat not covered by the Winter Coverage Endorsement (both initially planted winter and spring crops), buckwheat, canola and rapeseed, corn, dry beans, flax (spring-seeded only), grain sorghum, mustard, oats (spring-seeded only), popcorn (including popcorn revenue), peanuts, safflowers, soybeans, sugar beets and sunflower seed. Assignment of Indemnity AIPs are authorized to waive the witness signature requirement for approval of Assignments through July 15, 2020. The insured’s and creditor’s signature on the Assignment will be required in a pen and ink signature and in the hand of the person whose signature is required or an acceptable electronic (digital) signature in accordance with the AIPs’ established Electronic Business Implementation Plan and applicable RMA procedures. RMA announced on March 27 other flexibilities, including enabling producers to send notifications and reports electronically, extending the date for production reports and providing additional time and deferring interest on premium and other payments. RMA staff is working with AIPs and other customers by phone, mail and electronically to continue supporting crop insurance coverage for producers. Farmers with crop insurance questions or needs should continue to contact their insurance agents about conducting business remotely (by telephone or email).

Why we wrote it: After sitting in a Pragmatic course taught by David Meerman Scott, I came up with the idea that I just might wanna write something a little more substantial than a blog post. David spent a good deal of effort in his New Rules of Marketing course on the value of an eBook, so I thought that might be a lofty pursuit. I clearly needed some help; so I engaged my personal advisory board for input and volleyed ideas. We centered on brand as a construct in the context of social media adoption, more or less. Sheryl Altschuler was kind enough to offer her experience in launching brands online for this project. Sheryl was critical in simplifying the concepts in the eBook and developing the Social Marketing Contract. Chris Carfi was kind enough to write a foreword and to provide his thoughts on what would be helpful to marketers given the emerging business realities. Clearly interesting things are afoot in the evolving social marketplace. The social impact on brand management and equity represents an opportunity for marketers to re-align their focus against The Social Marketing Construct. Many thanks to those who helped as well as those who take the time to download and take a look. If you find it particularly useful, feel free to let some folks know about it. The concepts in the book are a continuing area of interest for both Sheryl and me, so feedback appreciated.
I am a moderate and, I like to think, progressive faith leader, but there are times when fundamentalism looks rather attractive, even to me. All that certainty can be very appealing. No need to ask questions. No need to change anything. The word is the word of God and the answers do not brook debate. Such an approach must look quite appealing to the Archbishop of Canterbury at the moment as he attempts to hold together the Anglican communion. Much of the time, many faith movements - my own included - get by on fudges, making compromises, avoiding looking in each other's eyes for fear that we might have to acknowledge that some of those compromises would not withstand much scrutiny. But there are times when the fudges have to end, or at least be acknowledged. For Anglicans it is as they seek to come to terms with changing attitudes to women and homosexuality. For the Movement for Reform Judaism it has been the eight-year process of preparing a prayer book for the 21st century - a process I was fortunate enough to manage. A prayer book is a window into the soul of a faith community. Maybe for the most traditional of communities the task is relatively straightforward: change the binding, add a couple of quid to the price and you're done. But for moderates it is a time when we are forced to confront our fudges and decide what we really think, if only because we have to write it down. We need to show that we have taken on board development in science and understanding, as well as spiritual, ethical and moral advances. And we don't get to pick and choose which new truths we acknowledge: faith doesn't work like that. For Reform Jews, fortunately, the gender and sexual orientation issues were settled some years ago. Women and gay rabbis are widely accepted throughout the progressive Jewish movements that make up around a third of British Jewry. They serve in the most senior roles, and the sky hasn't fallen in. So the new prayer book, Forms of Prayer, acknowledges this not-so-new equality by using gender-inclusive language throughout, including that used to refer to God. We list the female "matriarchs" Sarah, Rebecca, Leah and Rachel alongside the "patriarchs" Abraham, Issac and Jacob. But there is far more to modernising a prayer book than issues of gender and sexuality. Maybe the most traditional of worshippers would shy away from mentions of such modern-day concerns as climate change and environmental disaster, caring responsibilities and even pets, but for the progressive, the moderate, we can make up what we may lack in certainty by ensuring relevance. So our prayer book addresses these and many other 21st-century issues. The consumerist iPod generation of believers demand more from worship than the constant repetition of familiar but archaic prayers and services. They expect to take charge by selecting their own liturgy, relevant to them and real-life concerns. Our prayer book seeks to let them do this by being to its predecessors what the iPod is to the album: our users can select their own choices of liturgy to reflect their mood, their degree of radicalism or conservativism, and the issues on which they wish to reflect at any time. Its aim is to pass ownership of daily services from the "authority of the book" to individuals, a principle that the Jewish faith, which does not require a rabbi to lead a service, is comfortable with, and one that may be relevant to other faiths too. It is not for a Jew to lecture the Church of England on how it tackles its own critical dilemmas. At the same time, however, as one moderate to another, I'd say we have found that pretending to certainties we don't feel condemns us to a losing race with the fundamentalists. Instead, we've learned to celebrate diversity and search for ways to let it flourish. To trump certainty we can - if we dare - offer choice and individual responsibility, and that ensures a unique relevance to the modern world. · Rabbi Professor Jonathan Magonet is the editor of the Movement for Reform Judaism's new prayer book, Forms of Prayer, and vice-president of the World Union of Progressive Judaism

Winter is about to hit the thriving city of Florida. This means that it’s time for owners to take some steps in ensuring their Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC) systems work optimally. Replace Air Filter The furnace component in your system requires regular air filter checks. If the filters are too dirty, you may even have to get them replaced. Not doing so will only drive up your energy bills needlessly. It’s better to replace the filter when the cooling season begins and repeat the process at the start of each month. Before you set your thermostat for the winter months, ensure that it has fresh batteries. A cost-cutting tip is to set the thermostat at a cooler temperature during the night or while you’re away from home. Turn it back up when you come home from work. This’ll help you save energy and minimize monthly heating bills. For this purpose, a programmable thermostat is best. It helps set your indoor temperature to the most efficient setting throughout the season. If you think that insulation isn’t part of the HVAC system, you’re wrong. Insulation is actually crucial in improving the overall efficiency of your home. If your home has an attic, ensure that there is adequate insulation added there. Hire Florida Breeze’s friendly HVAC technicians to determine how much insulation your space requires. Cover Outdoor AC Unit If you’ve determined that you won’t be using your AC unit for the rest of the year, consider covering it. Use it again once you have need for an air conditioner. Purchase an inexpensive outdoor unit cover to prevent ice buildup or debris accumulation on the unit. Vacuum Air Vents Vacuuming air vents helps to prevent problems in indoor air quality as well as air vent blockages. It will also help to maintain a comfortable level of temperature in your home. If you notice a significant amount of buildup in the air vents, consider booking professional air duct cleaning. This will remove the grime and grit that’s accumulated inside the ventilation system. Schedule 24/7 Available Inspection Florida Breeze has a team of highly qualified technicians that are available 24/7. It doesn’t matter which HVAC system-related issue you’re facing, we guarantee results in a short time! If you’re in or around Melbourne Beach and Palm Bay, Florida hire our professional HVAC system repair or replacement services by emailing at [email protected] or calling at (321) 951-8767.
My students love to work collaboratively and they are not afraid to tackle big ideas or problems. While they come from diverse backgrounds and have varied levels of language acquisition, mathematics ability, and reading comprehension, what is common among all of my students is a thirst for new ideas and information. They are innovative thinkers, filled with creativity. What my students are lacking however is a platform which builds upon these strengths and allows them to explore their way through our curriculum. They need to apply the information from our lessons in a hands-on format that utilizes their creativity. We have found a vehicle for this endeavor in the Dash Robot by Wonder Workshop. As a true cross-curricular tool, the Dash Robot has unlimited potential in the classroom. We will be able to introduce the design process and coding to our students while reinforcing skills in all the core content areas. Students will have the added benefit of developing spatial and sequential thinking processes, skills that are often unaddressed or underdeveloped in the traditional classroom setting. The robots will be integrated into various activities for the content areas of math, science, social studies and Language Arts. My goal is to enhance our instruction, in a purposeful, student driven way, building upon the natural curiosities and strengths of our learners. Upon receipt of our Dash, students will explore the features of the robots by moving them along simple student created routes. While basic in application, this time will allow them to become comfortable with the operation of the robots and develop processes for working as a team to complete simple nonacademic tasks. As students become more comfortable with basic operation, programming concepts will be introduced through the Wonder app. Students will create traceable paths of code as they direct the robots through simple challenges and tasks via pre-written code that they have assembled. This step in the process will allow the students to become proficient at creating simple codes. By week three, students will be proficient in basic drag and drop coding and the features of the Dash robots. They will have established procedures for collaborative work and have learned processes to solve disagreements within a group. Students will have had the opportunity to fail at a task and will have strategies in place for revising and adapting their approach for a more successful end.

3D-printing is awesome, but it has its limits. For the time being, we mostly get static plastic figures, and while resolution is getting better all the time, we're far from a real replicator future. A new development is bringing us one step closer, however: printable optics. A paper recently published by Disney Research—the folks who brought you the plant-computer interface—describes how certain techniques could lead to 3D-printed objects that respond to touch and manipulation with a lights. The simplest technique basically involves bottom-lighting a figure, and using specially printed "Light Pipes" to direct the light to the surface where you want a display. The resolution leaves a bit to be desired, but hey, this is a new technology. It'll only get better as time goes on. If you want to read more about the tech, you can find the entire research paper here. Suffice it to say, the sooner this stuff catches on, the better. [Disney Research via Core 77]
Model ETF Portfolio: Real Estate Holdings Boost Performance Our model portfolio of exchange-traded fundshas now been in existence for four years—four pretty dramatic years. That it has averaged less than 1% a year return would certainly be a disappointment were it not for the fact that most all of the market as well as the benchmarks have negative returns for the four years. While the Model ETF Portfolio rebounded very well in both of the last two quarters, it has not reached its pre-2008 highs, as can be seen in Figure 1. Strengths and Weaknesses Year-to-date the ETF portfolio is up 8.9% compared to 4.7% for our ETF benchmark. A major difference between the model portfolio and its benchmark is that our Model ETF Portfolio has a 21% real estate component and the benchmark does not.

PROJECTS > KOSHI CANAL PROJECT, BIHAR All of us are familiar with the Bihar Floods. It claimed lives of several people and left thousands roofless. As that wasn't enough the river deposited a thick layer of silt in the adjoining areas turning the fertile agricultural land into a desert. Making life of those left behind, miserable. However, along with the tragedy came the challenge to restore the dam and clear as much silt as possible. It was a monumental task as one can imagine. At Radix, this was a welcome challenge. We were given the opportunity to redevelop and reinforce the Koshi Dam and remove as much silt as possible. We rolled up over sleeves and went to work. Here are the challenges we came face to face with. 1. Extention, renovation and modernisation of Eastern Koshi Canal System 2. The removal of debris and silt in and around the dam area that extends upto 60 Sq.km 3. Embankment and rebuilding of the canal. 4. Off site disposal of the silt THE PROJECT GALLERY - Restoration and Renovation of Koshi Canal Project, - Diversion of Main Nallah at NTPC Rihand Nagar, Sonbhadra, Uttar Pradesh - Raising of Central Ash Dyke at NTPC, Rihand Nagar, Sonbhadra - Area Leveling for Nabinagar Super Thermal Power Project, - Boundary Wall Construction Welspun Solar Power Project, M.P Radix, I must say, is an organisation that under promises and over delivers.

The Internet isn’t the real world. That’s not that hard a concept is it? In training courses I’ve felt a little embarrassed when making a point of this early on in the presentation, as it feels like such an elementary point. But occasionally, due to the nature of some of the mailing lists I’m on, I have to explain this. Some annoyed spam recipient, or a user with new firewall software and mad whois skillz, wants to exact retribution on the dastardly IP address that just attacked him; and I explain how difficult it is to tie received traffic to an IP address, and an IP address to a person. Then I read this: “Real Security Is Threat-Centric” at http://taosecurity.blogspot.com/2009/11/real-security-is-threat-centric.html by Richard Bejtlich. Now if you’re trying to pin down the source of a concentrated attack by many parties, and trying to generally attribute it to a foreign power or a criminal gang, or a concentrated concerted attack, I can see his point about attribution, just, if I squint. However the online equivalents of Bejtlich’s “local residents” are unlikely to come under such an attack, and will more likely be spammed using hacked email accounts or faked sender addresses, compromised through a drive-by download, infected by a worm, simply be some bot, or similar. In those cases attibution is very difficult, if not impossible. To stretch Richard Bejtlich’s example even farther… imagine the situation, two suspects were questioned Friday, but the suspects claimed that their bodies had been compromised and were under the control of malicious ghosts, or that the evidence of the break-ins had been remotely faked by a rival of theirs from Brazil; or the victim’s possessions had only been copied, not removed, so no-one noticed they’d been “stolen” for several months, meaning all the forensic evidence of the break-in had been destroyed. Ridiculous ideas, yes? But their online equivalents are possible because… wait for it… The Internet is not the Real World, don’t expect the same methods to work on here.
We are so glad to be back online and welcome you to our new home in the virtual webworld. The site has had a facelift and we hope it is easier for you to have an entertaining experience. We are honored to be able to offer our musical wares to you. I am still involved with music in my life everyday and in addition to my illustrious musical past, I have new music to offer as the muse continues to run through my veins. It has been many years since the concept of Hillbilly Hollywood was started as a result of Webb Pierce saying, "Nashville IS Hillbilly Hollywood!" back in the 1970s. The music you will find on this website spans several decades and it still rings true like it did when it was first produced. We hope our new music rings true for you too.
Corpus Christi city leaders are working to make sure that the Navy doesn't decide to pull up stakes anytime soon. At stake are the 10,000 jobs that are supported by Naval Air Station Corpus Christi. So a big meeting is coming up, to help ensure that the Navy sticks around. The Navy wants to make sure that its training flights cause as little disruption to our lives as possible. It's a bone of contention in communities across the country, where residents complain about the noise and dangers of the flights. A Navy trainer was flying low overhead as the pilot was practicing touch and go's at Cabaniss Field on Monday afternoon. Navy pilots have been training here in Corpus Christi since May of 1941. Everyone from George H. Bush to Bob Barker has trained here; but nowadays, the Navy is also concerned about reducing potential conflicts between its military installations and the surrounding areas. So on Oct. 3, the City Planning Commission will host what is called a Joint Land Use Study workshop. Basically, it is a way to make sure that new growth in the city will be aligned with the mission of the Navy and its needs. In other words, making sure that, for instance, we don't build single-family residences next to Cabaniss Field in the future. "This is not going to stop development," Councilman Mark Scott said. "This is just going to provide more compatible development to protect the Navy while at the same time letting the landowner develop. It will allow retail, restaurants, stuff like that. We're just trying to eliminate single-family resident developments in those T-6 flight patterns." Right now, the Navy pilots train on the T-44 out at Cabaniss Field, and the T-34 is another trainer, but it's on its way out. NAS-CC has already received two T-6 trainers and will continue to get two or three more of those planes each month for the next two years. The T-6 will fly out of Corpus Christi and do touch and go's at a field in Goliad. All content © Copyright 2000 - 2013 WorldNow and KIII. All Rights Reserved.

L'AQUILA, Italy – US President Barack Obama cranked up pressure on Iran by saying Friday world leaders were "appalled" at post-poll violence and would not stand idly by while Iran builds a nuclear weapon. Welcoming a rare consensus on Iran among the globe's most powerful nations at the L'Aquila summit, Obama told reporters he hoped Tehran would recognize that "world opinion is very clear". The G8 joint declaration expressed "serious concern" over post-election violence in Iran but called for a negotiated resolution to the standoff over Tehran's nuclear programme, giving it until September's G20 summit. "And that's been always our premise, is that we provide that door," said Obama. "But we also say we're not going to just wait indefinitely and allow for the development of the nuclear weapon, the breach of international treaties, and wake up one day and find ourselves in a much worse situation and unable to act. "So my hope is that the Iranian leadership will look at the statement coming out of the G8 and recognize that world opinion is clear." Russia, Iran's closest thing to an ally at the world's most powerful top table, argued that the bloody crackdown on opposition protestors after the June 12 polls was an "internal matter", and Washington failed to find support for its call for tougher sanctions against Tehran. But after his first G8 summit, Obama played down the lack of concrete steps and talked up a united front, particularly since he had avoided a row with Russia. "What we wanted was exactly what we got, which is a statement of unity and strong condemnation about the appalling treatment of peaceful protestors," he said. "And so I think the real story here was consensus in that statement, including Russia. Which, you know, doesn't make statements like that lightly." Obama pronounced himself pleased with the second part of the declaration, "that we will reevaluate Iran's posture towards negotiating the nuclear weapons policy," at the G20, to be held in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, ahead of the United Nations General Assembly. "And I think what that does is it provides a time frame. The international community has said: 'Here's a door, you can walk through. That allows you to lessen tensions and more fully join the international community'." "If Iran chooses not to walk through that door, then you have on record the G8 to begin with, but I think potentially a lot of other countries that are going to say, we need to take further steps." © 2009 Agence France Presse.

September 24, 2010 Ohio State among leaders for Smith-Rivera Follow Noon on Twitter \| Ari on Twitter \| Hare on Twitter It's not often that one school makes such an impression that the prospect visiting is left without one negative to take away from the trip. That very scenario played itself out when D'Vauntes Smith-Rivera and his parents took a trip to Ohio State. His mother, Kelana, was surprised by how much they loved the campus and what the coaching staff had to say. Of the top six school left on Smith-Rivera's list, Ohio State is the only one to have a blank in the 'cons' column. "I don't know if I could pick any one thing," said Kelana Smith-Rivera when describing her impressions of Ohio State. "I kind of left with nothing that we didn't like about them. That was more of what took us all by surprise leaving; we tend to leave a school with an idea of what we don't like. If anyone knows my husband, they know he's not a major talker, he doesn't ask a lot of questions. I tend to ask more questions. D'Vauntes observes and my husband observes. So when we leave a school, what we do is we kind of put it out there what like or what we don't like. Ohio State was actually a school that there wasn't a 'do-not-like' list for them. It was definitely a bonus when you can't see much wrong with a school." Despite the very positive feelings about the Buckeyes, Mrs. Smith-Rivera pointed out that there are currently no leaders and D'Vauntes is still considering a total of six schools, Ohio State, Wake Forest, Xavier, Indiana, Miami, and Georgetown, who has yet to officially offer. The Hoyas are expected to offer as soon as John Thompson III is able to watch Smith-Rivera in person. "I wouldn't say there are any favorites, there are schools with some things that he likes more than others and things like that, as well as myself and my husband. I don't think there are any favorites. There are some [schools] that he does know better than others; he spends more time with them, so he's closer to some staff than he is to others, and there are some schools that he's spent more time on campus than others." "As far as a timeline, I won't say he'll be making a decision before the season or anything like that but if he felt like he was ready to make a decision we wouldn't be opposed to it at this point," she added. Talking specifically about Ohio State, Mrs. Smith-Rivera made it perfectly clear that Ohio State has done a marvelous job of recruiting her son, regardless of their late push. Head Coach Thad Matta and his staff have made a strong enough impression that the Buckeyes have positioned themselves perfectly for the services of one of the top rising juniors. "We decided about a month or so ago to narrow the list of schools that have offered so far and we're down to, of the schools that have offered, five and then we have Georgetown in there as well but they haven't offered yet. So they're [Ohio State] in our top five, they're definitely a school that has really peaked our interest. We really look forward to learning more about the school and about the staff. We hope to make it down this fall for sure, to spend some more time." "Of all the schools left on our list, other than IU, Ohio State is the only big campus school. We were really impressed with them, my husband and D'Vauntes; we really like what they have to offer at Ohio State," she said. Smith-Rivera is currently ranked No. 25 in the 2012 Rivals.com Top 150, and the No. 3 point guard in the class. At 6-foot-4, 220-pounds, he has the frame of your classic Big Ten player, and with that size and skill at the point guard position, he will make it tough on any opposing player to stay in front of him. Mom, Dad, and D'Vauntes couldn't have come away any more enthused about Ohio State and its basketball program. While no timetable on a decision is imminent, Buckeye's fans should feel good about where their program stands with one of the nation's top prospects. ...More...

Take Action Now The History of the We know that the financial impact of the transit benefit is extraordinary. But its impact on our environment may be even more remarkable. Consider these facts: When people make the switch to public transportation for their daily commute, they can reduce their daily carbon emissions by 20 pounds. That's more than 4,800 pounds. Every year. In 2010, transit benefit users reduced their carbon emissions by nearly 2 billion tons. This is the equivalent to the carbon emissions from the electricity used in over 110,000 homes for one year. The use of public transportation has the same environmental impact as recycling 551,000 tons of waste and planting 41 million trees. The transit portion of the commuter benefit is a proven example of an incentive that brings a rare combination of economic and environmental benefits without direct government intervention. If you are concerned about protecting the environment - take action now. Take action now.
Frequently Asked Questions Why are decorated cookies so expensive? Decorated sugar cookies are a luxury item. They take anywhere between 3-5 days to make. It starts with picking a theme, finding the cutters, ordering cutters if needed, planning a design, making the dough, and cutting and baking the cookies. Next we make the royal icing and color each bag of individual icing. Depending on your color scheme and cookie design, this can take anywhere from 1 to 3 hours. Next we flood (base layer of icing on each cookie). Each layer has to dry completely before the next layer can be applied. This can take from 12-24 hours, depending on the humidity level. Next are all the little details. All in all, time spent decorating is typically 8-16 hours. The detailing then has to dry for another 12-24 hours. Last but definitely not least, packaging your cookies. Some of you like them to be individually heat sealed...time spent on this obviously varies with how many dozen cookies are ordered. Your cookies are art. Each order has a piece of a cookiers heart in them. We plan, we bake, we create, we design, we sometimes have to scrape them off and start over, just so they are perfect for you. If we truly charged for our time, sweat, and yes, sometimes tears, no one could ever afford decorated sugar cookies :) We truly love what we do. How do I keep my purchases fresh? When you pick up your order, I will give you instructions on how to store your items. Decorated sugar cookies should never be refrigerated. Some cakes, cupcakes, etc do not need to be refrigerated, while some of them do. Do you offer allergen free items? While we can bake allergen friendly items, our kitchen is NOT allergen free. We cannot guarantee any of our items to be allergen free. If there is an allergy, we highly suggest that you find an allergen free baker. The Pies the Limit Bakery LLC will not be held responsible for any adverse reactions in regard to food allergens. Why do you ask for a time for my pick up? We are a licensed in home caterer.

Okay, no seriously, I am going to be better about writing blog posts. I start today, with my once-annual commentary on unconventional love. (On a side note, anyone who feels Valentine’s Day is a silly holiday solely because you “should focus on loving your significant other every day of the year,” you disgust me. We would never be friends in real life.) Valentine’s Day is a weird day for me. I have harbored resentment towards the holiday for years, perhaps a legacy of my college singledom or my self-important feminist inclinations. Whatever. I used to perceive Valentine’s Day as really, really important to one demographic and one demographic only: teenage girls. But, as time has gone on, I realize, it has a much more extensive reach, and maybe it’s not that bad. Does Valentine’s Day really stand to rub coupledom in the faces of our single brethren? Does it not provide a wonderful excuse for girl’s night out, or takeout, as perhaps you are inclined? These things are both gifts! Regardless, while I do not support the cut flower industry (another post to follow) and I have never possessed the world’s most insatiable sweet tooth, I am excited to leave the office a little early tonight, go home, order Indian take-out (see how I snuck that in there?) and curl up with my lovely boyfriend and dog. It will be a perfect evening. I shall also be rubbing it in Danny’s face that I received a single red rose today. From my dentist. Thank you, Dr. Baumgart, for making a girl feel special on February 14.
A former Florida State regulation professor named Wendi Adelson is in the public highlight as a result of members of her household have been implicated (though up to now uncharged) in hiring a pair of hitmen to kill her ex-husband, a fellow Florida State law professor and outstanding authorized blogger named Daniel Markel. If a mother and father time of possession of a kid ends at the time school resumes and for any purpose the child is just not or won’t be returned to high school, the guardian in possession of the kid shall immediately notify the school and the opposite father or mother that the kid will not be or has not been returned to highschool. Cercone, speaking publically sic for the primary time for the reason that bar examination outcomes had been announced, said he’s confident the legislation faculty will turn the outcomes round. Indigenous peoples, slaves, convicts, merchants, and sailors all scrambled to play a component in reordering the empire and the world past it. But, by means of it all, legal reform targeted on promoting order, not advancing human rights or charting liberalism. Others really feel that the large trend houses would use such a regulation to crush small competitors. By inspecting this relationship in historic contexts from early modernity to the current, this quantity goals to deepen present understandings of the way in which worldwide legal establishments, practices, and narratives have formed particularly imperial concepts about and constructions of world governance.

Proposition 119: Military preservation; land exchanges Legislative Council analysis: In 1910, the United States Congress passed the Arizona-New Mexico Enabling Act, allowing Arizona to become a state. The Enabling Act granted Arizona approximately 10.9 million acres of land, referred to as "state trust land". The state land trust is intended to produce revenue for various public institutions (schools, colleges, prisons, etc.). The state can lease or sell trust land, and the natural products (timber, minerals, etc.) of the land, only to the "highest and best bidder" at public auction. In 1936, Congress amended the Enabling Act to give Arizona more flexibility in managing and disposing of trust land by allowing the state to exchange trust land for other public or private lands. Arizona did not amend its state Constitution to incorporate that authority for land exchanges. The Arizona Supreme Court has determined that without amending the Arizona Constitution, the state cannot conduct land exchanges. Proposition 119 would amend the Arizona Constitution to allow the state to exchange state trust land for other public land in this state if the following requirements are met: 1. The exchange must be in the best interest of the state land trust. 2. The purpose of the exchange must be to either assist in preserving and protecting military facilities in this state from encroaching development or to improve the management of state lands for the purpose of sale or lease, or conversion of state land to public use. 3. There must be two independent appraisals that show that the true value of the land the state receives in the exchange is equal to or greater than the true value of the trust land the state conveys. There also must be two independent analyses that detail the income to the state land trust before and the projected income to the trust after the exchange, the financial impact of the exchange on each county, city, town and school district in which the lands are located, the physical, economic and natural resource impacts of the exchange on the local community and the impacts on local land uses and land use plans. 4. A detailed public notice of a proposed exchange must be given, public hearings must be held and an opportunity for public comment must be given. 5. A proposed exchange is not effective unless it is approved by the voters at a statewide November general election.

Television spots, websites, social media and yard signs--those for and against the Ambassador Hotel project are rolling out their campaigns. They're trying to get the public interested in a February 28th special election. "Hopefully people will understand that we have a city council that made a decision that's probably questionable," project opponent Tom Merrill says. The group campaigning against the plan wants voters to overrule a commitment the city council made to the company renovating the downtown hotel. It's a multi-million dollar commitment that won't raise taxes, but will allow the new hotel to keep 75 percent of the guest tax it generates. That's money which normally helps fund tourism efforts by the Wichita Convention and Visitors Bureau. Supporters say it's a no-brainer. They say the plan will pay off big not only for downtown but for the entire city of Wichita. They say the big challenge is getting the public to understand the facts. "There will a bigger push in the next few weeks," Keith Stevens of the group called Moving Wichita Forward says. The vote yes campaign says much of its money is coming from the hotel's owner--Tulsa developer Paul Coury. The group says the refurbished hotel will generate a quarter million dollars a year in property taxes. As is, the empty building is generating a tenth of that. In addition, they say the hotel will kick in millions more by bringing more conventions to the city, all the while encouraging further downtown development. Moving Wichita Forward has a television spot that is about to hit the air. The opposition group says it doesn't have money for that. But the group is doing speaking engagements and rolled out yard signs last week. Their message is simple. "We just want people to understand that a no vote means that we're trying to make sure that government doesn't pick winners and losers," Merrill says. Opponents say that's the job of voters who get the final say.
The Navy has ramped up its acquisition of unmanned helicopters for counter piracy missions and maritime intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance, Defense News reports. The Navy has ordered eight units of an updated variant of the Northrop Grumman-built MQ-8B Fire Scouts that have been used since 2009 for ISR missions. The new model uses the frame of the Bell 407 helicopter which is 35 feet long, 11 feet longer than the MQ-8B. The $262.3 million contract will provide the Navy with unmanned helicopters that have more range and payload. Senior Chief Petty Officer Stephen Diets, a Navy ground government flight representative said the MQ-8C will provide the Navy with more maritime ISR capabilities than the MQ-8B model. Defense News also reports that Navy officials have requested the doubling of the original MQ-8B Fire Scout flight hours for Afghan special operations forces. The Navy currently flies 300 hours in Afghanistan and has 30 MQ-8B in its arsenal.
from Harold Newman's 1977 book, An Illustrated Dictionary of Glass zanfirico (Italian). The present-day term used in Venice and Murano for vetro a retorti; the spelling used elsewhere in Italy is sanfirico. vetro a retorti (Italian). Literally, glass with twists. A type of glass decorated with twisted threads of glass embedded in clear glass, ... Latticino or latticinio ... Terms that have been often misused ... without regard to the Venetian usage of the terms. ... The two terms latticino and latticinio have been used in Venice and Murano to apply only to clear glass decorated with with embedded threads of glass ...usually white threads. So from that, I deduce that zanfirico is simply (?) a modern term for the older latticino (or latticnio). But, just for info, there is even more confusion on the use of those earlier Italian words when mixed with "filigree" (and "fiigrana" - for coloured threads), as often discussed by paperweight collectors! I have never heard "zanfirico" or "vetro a retorti" used in connection with paperweights but "latticino" (and latticinio) is used often. Filigree and filigrana are also regular terms used in a paperweight context for "grounds", "cushions" etc. made of latticino. In the sense of the definitions above, I suppose we could refer to paperweight usage of embedded white threads (latticino or filigree?) as "zanfirico", but thankfully, I don't think it has been done. :shock:

If you need to make a change to your booking, cancel your flight or buy new tickets then you may have to pay a service fee in addition to any changes to the price of your fare. The amount you pay depends on many different factors, such as which country you are in when you make or change your booking or how flexible your ticket is. If you have a booking already, you may be able to change the date or time of your flight now using Manage My Booking. You can also find out if you can do this for free or if there is a charge. To calculate the service fees that are payable, select your answers to the questions below and then click the "Calculate fees" button. The values displayed are Service Fees only and are to be used as a guide only. Any extra fare penalties would be advised at the time of making your change or refund. These service fees apply when a change is made to a booking, irrespective of where the ticket was originally purchased. For example, if you make a booking through ba.com in the USA and then make a change to your booking through our UK Contact Centre, the service fee applied would be that relevant to our UK Contact Centre, and not the service fee for ba.com in the USA. If you see a price range in your results, like "50 to 150 (USD)", then the fee payable could be dependent on cabin class, fare price and/or local laws. These fees are applied on a per ticket basis. This is opposed to a per booking basis, which may incorporate a number of tickets and travellers. It should also be noted that these service fees do not vary for children or infants. Please be aware that changes to your ticket may incur an additional payment dependent on the terms and conditions at the time of booking. Your refund would also be calculated in accordance with the fare rules and tariffs applicable to your ticket.
Baltimore Ravens WR Torrey Smith has established himself as one of the NFL’s premier deep threats. This season, 43 percent of Smith’s receptions were good for 20-plus yards. The second-year pro averaged 17.4 yards per catch, which ranks fourth in the league among players with at least 30 receptions. Smith will face a San Francisco 49ers defense that does not surrender big plays. According to Andy Benoit of Football Outsiders, Smith’s game-breaking speed may be a non-factor in Super Bowl XLVII. “Torrey Smith and Jacoby Jones are not good against tight man coverage. Neither of them is physically strong, and both have trouble maintaining efficiency in their breaks. Smith showed … in the AFC title game that he can be completely eliminated by an underneath man defender who has safety help over the top. That’s how the Niners will play him this Sunday.” Man coverage with two deep safeties is the scheme of choice for the Niners D. And “man coverage is also what teams have played against the Ravens all season,” Benoit reports. Donte Whitner is one of those safeties who provides help over the top. So how will the 49ers secondary contain a burner with 4.43 40-Yard speed like Smith? “It looks like a blur if you’re not focused on what you’re supposed to be watching,” Whitner says. “You have to know mentally what to focus on, and then focus your eyes on it.” You can bet the physical 49ers secondary will jam Smith at the line of scrimmage in an effort to disrupt his rhythm. And if the Niners stick to their guns with a heavy dose of man coverage, expect a quiet night from Smith and more targets to Ravens WR Anquan Boldin. Check out STACK's continuing coverage of Super Bowl XLVII.

In a culture obsessed with thinness and populated by lithe models and svelte celebrities, most Americans, surveys indicate, tend to have negative attitudes about the obese. They are lazy, slow, unattractive and lacking in motivation and self discipline. Or so the stereotype goes. One would think that the victims of such abuse would have a more positive sense of themselves, but, in fact, they don’t. According to a recent, first-of-its-kind study of 4,286 people, including ones who are underweight, of normal weight, overweight and obese — the heftiest participants actually share the public’s scorn for the corpulent. The survey, reported on in Obesity Research, showed that negative views about excess weight were common to all of the cohorts. Nearly 40 percent of the obese and more than 25 percent of the extremely obese, for instance, equated larger-than-normal figures with laziness. The stigma against super-sized bodies is so pervasive and profound that some participants claimed they would be willing to make dramatic tradeoffs to avoid the condition. Nearly half testified that they would give up 10 or more years of their life; one-third would get a divorce; 20 percent would forgo parenthood; 15 percent would prefer to be severely depressed; and 14 percent would prefer to be alcoholics. Such strong opinions, however, actually hinder efforts to slim down among those who need help the most. Hating yourself is not a good way to motivate yourself to engage in healthier behaviors. It is another hurdle to weight loss. The phenomenon, unfortunately, is not confined to the USA. A report that appeared recently in the Sunday Mail in South Australia — where as many as half of all women are overweight or obese — found that many choose to stay at home, be sedentary and eat more rather than confront rudeness and rejection. Apparently, overweight women are buying into the common perception that they are stupid, sloppy, ugly and self-indulgent. The psychological consequences of such stigmatization are profound. Individuals who are overweight face more than the psychological and emotional risks. Equally high are the physical risks from stroke and heart disease, both of which exact high personal and financial costs. Nationally, the total costs associated with obesity — e.g., medical expenses, lost productivity, etc., are estimated at over $100 billion annually. Unless drastic action is taken, being overweight may overtake smoking as the country’s leading cause of preventable death. Repeat recommendations are to provide children with daily, quality physical education; extend extracurricular, physical activity programs; conduct campaigns to foster public awareness of the health benefits of physical activity; and have employers create incentives for employee participation in physical exercise. The fitness challenge put forth by the Pagosa Springs EMT Association is creating another opportunity locally for more folks to get active and to exercise. This opportunity has been accepted by many who have registered to be a part of a three-month effort to exercise, eat the right foods, and reduce body weight. The goal of this challenge is to motivate participants to not only lose weight, but to create a healthy lifestyle that they can continue after the competition ends. I would like to believe that the growth of this interest group is due in part to the high monetary costs of health insurance, which is forcing many Americans to explore preventive measures. Again, I hope that people are, increasingly thinking that it is their own responsibility to maintain their own health and that the fitness population will keep growing.
After nearly two weeks of being trailed by the pigskin paparazzi, Peyton Manning has picked a team. According to ESPN, Manning has informed teams that he plans to join the Denver Broncos. Unless there is an unexpected snag in negotiations, Manning will be Denver’s starting quarterback in 2012. The 2012 schedule won’t be released until next month, but we do know the Ravens’ opponents for the upcoming season. And at some point, Manning and the Broncos will come to M&T Bank Stadium. Manning, of course, tormented the Ravens when he was the quarterback of the Indianapolis Colts. He was 6-2 in eight regular-seasons starts against the Ravens, completing 65.1 percent of his passes for 17 touchdowns against five interceptions. Manning and the Colts were 2-0 in the playoffs against the Ravens, having defeated them in the AFC divisional round after the 2006 and 2009 seasons. Last season, the Ravens beat the Colts -- who started Dan Orlovsky at quarterback -- for the first time since the 2001 season, which was Manning’s fourth in the NFL. Manning had been Indy's starting QB for 13 straight seasons until a neck injury sidelined him in 2011. The Colts finished 2-14 and earned the No. 1 overall pick, which they will likely use to select Stanford quarterback Andrew Luck. To start a roster overhaul, the Colts released Manning 12 days ago. More than 10 teams reportedly expressed interest in Manning, but the Broncos, San Francisco 49ers and Tennessee Titans were finalists for Manning. Now it appears he is taking his talents to Denver. And at some point in 2012, he will take them to Baltimore.
The union representing UPS pilots asked a federal court on Thursday to review the Department of Transportation’s decision to exempt cargo pilots from tougher new rules aimed at reducing fatigue in airline operations. The Independent Pilots Association filed a petition at the U.S. Court of Appeals in Washington challenging the decision issued a day earlier. Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood said cargo airlines could “opt-in” voluntarily to the flight limits but that the DOT’s cost-benefit analysis led to exempting them from the requirements on pilots at passenger airlines. IPA General Counsel William Trent cited LaHood’s praise of the tighter limits in arguing cargo operations, which would mean mostly UPS and FedEx flights, should be included. "The internal inconsistency of the final rule is remarkable,” he said. … “Two of the very factors that the FAA cites as exacerbating the risk of pilot fatigue—operating at night and crossing multiple time zones are more present in cargo operations than in passenger operations.”
In keeping with its strategy to slowly reveal different components of Windows Live wave 4 over time, Microsoft today unveiled the next version of Windows Live Messenger. The product was officially unveiled during a talk Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer gave in Sao Paulo, Brazil called "Five Dimensions of the Cloud." But you can find out more on the newly-available Windows Live Preview web site. Don't be fooled by the prominent "Download" button, however: It's not available for public consumption quite yet. The New Messenger Windows Live Messenger is the most meaningful way to stay in touch with the people that matter most and has great new ways to connect and share. Consumers Prioritize Their Friends Differently Like most online consumers, you probably accept social networking invitations all the time from friends, family, co-workers and distant acquaintances, steadily expanding your circle of online interaction — and often, you’ll likely accept an invite simply because you feel bad saying no. However, even though you’re “connected” to a vast network of people online, you typically end up communicating regularly with a smaller group of “real friends” — those are the close friends whose profiles you’ll visit, who you’ll send private messages to, who you’ll allow to interrupt you in real time and connect over instant messaging (IM). Moreover, conversations and sharing with those close friends compose a significant amount of the time you spend online. Sharing Is Exploding — in More Ways, on More websites, From More Devices As internet usage continues to explode, consumers everywhere are spending more time across a variety of different websites, communicating and interacting with friends, family, acquaintances and co-workers. In the process, you are likely racking up different credentials on multiple networks and subsequently have to share the same photo or video in multiple places to make sure it reaches those people you care about. This leads to tons of duplication and social overload in trying to stay in touch with your friends. Some online services are trying to solve this by making you do everything on their website and with their network. But we believe that you shouldn’t have to stop using the services you enjoy — someone just needs to make this easier and help you navigate through all that social clutter. What you need are tools that help you prioritize your closest friends and find the social updates, photos, messages and other data from those important people. Consumers Want Control Over Their Privacy As you start communicating and sharing more online, you end up placing personal information, data and content all over the internet. This has resulted in a growing concern about online privacy, with more than 75 percent of consumers today admitting they are worried about their online privacy and more than 50 percent of users saying they are confused about the extent of what’s public, what’s private, what content is viewable and by whom. At Microsoft, our goal is to ensure that you are in control of the privacy. You shouldn’t have to feel like you don’t have control over your privacy and that your data could potentially be made public without your permission. The New Messenger — Transformed to Help You Stay in Touch With the People That Matter The new Windows Live Messenger is designed to address all these challenges, make your conversations more meaningful, and give you the tools to bring together all your social updates and help you connect with the people that matter. We have reinvented Messenger to do four important things: - Deliver the best IM — making common tasks easier and personal interactions more meaningful - Seamlessly integrate into the things you’re already doing on the web and on your phone - Give you the ultimate social dashboard for staying in touch while eliminating the noise - Provide tools that are designed to put you in control and keep your private life private More info soon!

The answer to why children must draw, paint and create can be found in the annual Salad Days exhibition of student art at the Slidell Cultural Center in City Hall. The walls are filled with creative exploration and possibilities as well as personal involvement and introspection. All of this student engagement coupled with parental pride yields a cathartic environment for everyone. There were snippets of insights to the youthful worlds through animals, inviting scenes, garden flowers, faces, sunny or rainy days, and pleasurable activities. For instance, a painting by Teagan Symons, 8, demonstrates the patience of fishing off a wooden dock, and winter trees by Gabrielle Armstrong, 13, shares a snowy winter chill with footprints in snow before leafless trees. Megan Sather, 9, put a pair of glasses on a blue-eyed cat and called it "Nerdy Cat" just to share a laugh, and Danny Gentile skillfully mixed and blended multiple colors to produce "Dreaming," an owl in a psychedelic environment reminiscent of the ’60s. The judge, Adam Sambola, said, "It was great to see so many ideas and artistic visions. I judged each piece on the creativity, use of color, and the feeling I took away from each piece. I know how much heart was put into each entry. Ultimately, certain works kept calling me back again. I hope to see more of their work in the future." The winner of the Blake Kenworthey Memorial Award was Julia Spiess, 6, who created "Sunset on the Lake," featuring a mixed media artwork of a duck floating on blue waves before a pink sky and an orange sunshine. The art was selected by the staff of the Department of Cultural and Public Affairs. Director Kim Bergeron said, "Sometimes there’s one piece that may not have won any awards but still deserves recognition." Bergeron also relayed the sentiments of the parents of the late Blake Kenworthey who said, "We encourage parents to keep their children involved in the arts. This gives them a sense of purpose and a positive direction." Winners were awarded in each of four categories: A, ages 5-8; B, ages 9-11; C, 12-14; and D, ages 15-19. In category A, winners were: First, "Ocean View" by Madison Dunn; second, "Self Portrait" by Heath McArdle; third, "Panda" by Dunn; and honorable mentions, "Far Far Away" by Mallory Gahagan, "Leaves" by Trace Panganiban; "Mr. Killer" by Avery Silva, "Catch of the Day" by Symons, and "Colors of the Rain" by Jason Willis. In category B, winners were: First, "A Single Rose" by Breanna LaBorde; second, "Where I’d Like to Be" by Addison Bauer; third, "Nerdy Cat" by Sather; and, honorable mentions, "A Beautiful Day" and "Fancy Lady" by Bauer and "Drago the Dragonfly" by Hayden Silva. Category C winners were: First, "Serenity" by Shelbe Castro; second, "Footprints" by Gabby Armstrong; third, "Time Past" by Emilie Rogers; and, honorable mentions, "Autumn Quest" and "Rushing Water" by Castro and "Summer Nights" by Megan Fowler. Winning students recognized in Category D were: First, "Spring Drizzle" by Robin Yang; second, "Footsie" by Kendall Moffett; third, "Yellow and Blue Macaw" by Ashton Vidrine; and, honorable mention "The Looking Glass" by Moffett. All participants, and then winners, received their certificates and ribbons from Mayor Freddy Drennan, who appeared joyous in his interactions with the youngsters. First-place winners in each category won not only a ribbon and certificate but also $50. Bergeron said becuase the number of high school art exhibits are conflicting with the Salad Days dates, the Salad Days juried exhibition will be held in January next year. Seeing the exhibit stirred a memory of something that artist Amy Guidry once said about her art, "While some feel that we must accommodate our art for the sake of money, I will never paint just to match someone’s sofa. I must stay true to myself." Each year, the Salad Days exhibit provides striking examples of this kind of truth in art. Gallery hours are Wednesday through Friday, from noon to 4 p.m., and on Saturday, from 9 a.m. to noon. Works will be showing through June 15.

The pools and match schedule for Round One of the HSBC Sevens World Series 2012/13 - the Gold Coast Sevens. For the second year running the tournament will be staged at Skilled Park on the Gold Coast, where hosts Australia have been drawn to face defending champions Fiji on October 13. The Australians will be attempting to win a home Sevens title for the first time since 2002, when they won in Brisbane. Defending Sevens World Series champions New Zealand were placed top of Pool A and will face South Africa and both North American teams in the draw, USA and Canada. Last season's runners-up Fiji are top of Pool B and face matches against tournament hosts Australia as well as Scotland and Oceania's regional qualifier, Tonga. England head Pool C and face three tough matches against 2009/10 World Series champions Samoa, Spain and Kenya, who are now under the guidance of former England coach, Mike Friday. Argentina were drawn top of Pool D and will face matches against three European sides in Wales, France and Portugal. In addition to the draw for the first of the nine rounds, the IRB has also announced a change to the pool draw allocation process for each of the nine rounds. From the start of the new season, the winner of the 3rd/4th 'bronze medal' match at each round of the Series will be placed top of Pool C for the subsequent round. Previously, the only teams to gain automatic placing into pools for the next event were the Cup winner (top of Pool A) and Cup runners-up (top of Pool B). The full details of the bands for the pool draw are as follows: - The Cup winners, runners-up and 3rd-placed team will be placed top of Pools A, B and C respectively. - Teams placed 4th to 8th will be drawn into Band 2, with the first drawn team allocated top of Pool D. - Teams placed 9th to 12th will be drawn into Band 3. - Teams placed 13th, 14th, 15th, together with the one invitational team, will be drawn into Band 4. For Round One of the HSBC Sevens World Series 2012/13, the Gold Coast Sevens teams were placed and banded based on the final standings of the 2011/2012 Series. Tonga, as the 16th team based on their performance at the recent Oceania Sevens, will be placed into Band 4.
Strange, when I talk to project developers and look at cost assessments they indicate otherwise. I work in this field (wind energy), I see the growth figures, I see the profits these companies make, work with the millions they employ (figuratively speaking), and they do not need any feed in tariffs to be profitable. That was true maybe 5 or 10 years ago, but not any more. Sure, some technologies like off shore wind energy are not competitive as of today, but that is a matter of time considering current research efforts (which is not only done by governments).Actually, no alternative can do this right now. No green power source can compete without massive government assistance. No large deployments of off shore wind energy? Do you have any idea how many projects are in the pipeline in Europe? I can tell you that it is a significant number!Solar is not even on the table, it's more than 3 times more expensive than coal in the best case. And it also can't be used for baseload capacity. The only thing that even comes close to being a real alternative is offshore wind power, but so far there were no large deployments to gauge its real-life efficiency. Solar is on the table. Do you now there are competitive concentrated solar power plants for instance in California? http://www.sandia.gov/csp/cspoverview.html And they can provide base load to the grid when combined with some kind of heat storage.
On December 17, 2008, members of the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative (RGGI) conducted their second allowance auction for the cap-and-trade program. The compliance obligations under the RGGI program take effect on January 1, 2009 and apply to carbon dioxide emissions from the power sector in the ten participating New England and Mid-Atlantic states: Connecticut, Delaware, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Rhode Island, and Vermont. Through RGGI, these states will stabilize carbon dioxide emissions levels in the power sector from 2009-2014 and decrease emissions by 2.5 percent per year from 2015-2018. Potomac Economics, the RGGI market monitor, has released an auction report and has confirmed that it took place in a fair, competitive, and transparent manner. Sixty-nine entities submitted bids for 108,709,000 allowances; 31,505,898 were ultimately sold to 46 entities at the clearing price of $3.38. The auction raised $106,500,000, which will be distributed to the states for clean energy and energy efficiency programs. The third auction will take place on March 18, 2009, and future auctions will occur on a quarterly basis. Post-Settlement Auction Report
Among the several metrics that illustrate the relative strength of the Alberta economy, the one that stands head and shoulders above the rest is the tightness of the labour market. This is clearly reflected by the very low job vacancy rate at the end of March in the Wild Rose Province. According to Stats Canada, there were fewer than two (1.8) unemployed persons per vacant job position in the province compared to 5.8 for the country as a whole and 2.8 in neighboring Saskatchewan, the second tightest labour market in the country. This evidence of strong labour demand is also reflected in the province’s very low (4.5%) unemployment rate. In May, the jobless rate in the province fell to a 42-month low of 4.5% compared to the national rate of 7.3%. Based on recent population data, it is clear that Alberta’s very strong appetite for labour is attracting workers from other provinces and also from outside the country. According to Statistics Canada, migration from all sources totaled 22,066 in the first quarter of this year, the largest inflow since Q3/2006. Consistent with the relative strength of labour demand in the province, weekly earnings in Alberta averaged $1057 in March, 19% above the national average of $888. Driven by the strong pattern of population growth, solid gains in weekly earnings and against a background of very low interest rates, retail sales in the province are up 7.8% y/y in April, twice the increase for the country as a whole. At the same time, year-to-date sales of existing homes in the province are ahead by 17.4%, well above the nation-wide year-to-date gain of 7%. By far the major contributor to Alberta’s overall economic health, the energy sector, promises to continue to help fuel the province’s growth through the remainder of 2012 and well into 2013. This prospect is based on the results of the most recent Statistics Canada Survey of Investment Intentions which reported that private and public organizations planned to increase their investment in construction and machinery and equipment by $7.9 billion in 2012. That’s more than twice the amount they planned to increase their spending by at the beginning of 2011. Moreover, the vast majority (85%) of this planned investment is on oil and gas extraction including Dover Operating Corp’s Commercial Project, the third phase of Devon Canada’s Jackfish oil sands project and Cenovus Energy Inc’s Foster Creek oil sands project. Looking forward, during the remainder of 2012 and throughout 2013, the outlook for the Alberta economy is very solid due to sustained growth of business investment, a gradual expansion of consumer spending and housing demand driven by strong job growth and net migration. These factors will also be augmented by a steady expansion of external demand for the province’s resources. Following a gain of 5.2% in 2011, the Alberta economy should exhibit growth in the range of 3.8% to 4.4% in 2012 and 2013. Gross Domestic Product (GDP) Growth - Alberta vs Total Canada
