Desperate times, desperate tenants in Tauranga housing shortfall

The 'No Vacancy' sign has been put up in Tauranga.
The median weekly rent in the city hit a record $525 this April - that's around three-quarters of the median income.
Property managers there estimate the city is short around 1000 rental properties, and the ones that are there are skyrocketing in price.
Housing crisis to worsen despite Government's KiwiBuild policy
'Welcome to the Auckland housing market' - sleepout for rent causes outrage
There is no housing crisis, but rather an accommodation crisis - Mark Richardson
Trade Me's statistics reflect a classic supply and demand issue. In March, listings were down 13 percent and enquiries soared by 75 percent. In April they were down 24 percent while enquiries were up 44 percent.
Tauranga does have plenty of jobs though, thanks to the orchard industry and the ever-expanding port. But Mayor Greg Brownless has a warning: don't move to his city, regardless of what the job is, unless you've got a home locked in.
Because this is an issue no longer affecting only low socio-economic families, but everyone.
Chasing the dream
Tauranga is the heart of the Bay of Plenty, but when it comes to its housing, plenty is not a word anyone is using.
"We're all just trying to chase a place to live," one family told Newshub.
On average 2500 people have moved to Tauranga each year for the past five years, meaning the population's grown by 15,000 people.
And in the next four years Stats NZ projects it could increase by a further 17,000.
Mayor Brownless says the city can't keep up with its own growth, and the rental shortage is only going to get worse as more people move in.
"What are they gonna do, suddenly develop a conscience and not come here? I don't think so," he says.
No pets, no kids, no hope
Carrie Matkovich's landlord was among those to move from Auckland to Tauranga. That left her without a home and forced her back into the rental rat race.
"I went to 103 viewings in 31 days," she says.
The home she finally secured is $200 over her budget and meant moving her children to a new school. It's a common consequence of the rental crunch.
The quantity and quality of applicants mean even the perfect prospective tenant is missing out.
"I've had a mum ring me last week, two kids, she works, good income, good job, good references, and she'll be moving into a car next week if she doesn't find a house," says property manager Genna Short.
Short says landlords are so spoilt for choice they can be extremely picky. Some are requesting not only 'no pets', but 'no children' either.
The 'no kids' policy has locked the Humphry family out of the rental market for a year.
With a baby girl and one on the way, they currently pay $320 a week for a small one bedroom unit.
It's a far cry from the life they lived in Sydney where they had been saving double what they can here.
"Why did we come back, really, we can't afford to get ahead, we're trapped," Kim Humphry says.
Their solution is to move an hour south to Rotorua, but Trade Me listings suggest they're not alone. Listings in Rotorua are down 5 percent while enquiries from prospective tenants are up 47 percent.
"It's Auckland to Tauranga, Tauranga to Rotorua, Rotorua to where?" her partner Zane asks
"It's just gonna keep on going, and never stop."
Renters here are desperate, and now in some cases that desperation is being taken advantage of.
Just this week a woman appeared in Tauranga District Court charged with deception, having allegedly scammed multiple families into paying thousands up front to secure the same rental.
She then allegedly took off with the money, leaving the families out of pocket and without a house.
"When you get the phone call saying it's yours, you get this overwhelming like 'oh my God I've got a house', and then to find out for 10 weeks she's been lying through her teeth," scam victim Toni told Newshub.
Toni says the scam and constant fight to secure a home has left her mental health suffering.
"I'm not the only one, you feel like you are the only one, but you're not. But it's just, how can people do that to you?"
A bleak future
Unfortunately, there's only going to be more competition with Waikato University's new campus opening in central Tauranga.
"There's 600 to 800 new students going in there and we haven't allowed for any accommodation for them," rental agent Dan Lusby says.
The Bay of Plenty's poster city for opportunity is overflowing and overwhelmed.
The Government's answer to the crisis? Just 25 KiwiBuild homes.

Creating pathways to recovery
Repairing paths protects mountains from erosion.
At number 30 on our list of 100 Ways we’re protecting Scotland’s heritage is creating pathways to recovery - we’re taking bold new steps to protect our mountains by repairing the 245 miles of paths at our most mountainous places.
Firmly putting our feet down on our crucial commitment to protect Scotland’s natural environment, we began appealing for donations to the Footpath Fund. This will help maintain some of the country’s most beautiful and popular hiking spots, such as Ben Lawers, Goatfell and Mar Lodge Estate.
Thanks to Scotland’s ever-changing weather and thousands of welcome and well-placed footprints each year, erosion to the path network is one of the largest challenges we face, especially as it could lead to irreversible damage to our magnificent countryside.
Trust President Neil Oliver meets the Footpath Team.
“It’s easy to take our footpaths for granted – people think they have always been here and always will, but it’s quite the contrary. ”
Bob Brown, Footpath Team Manager
Bob continues: ‘There’s been a huge increase in footfall to our wonderful hills, mountains, woodland and coastline as people flock to enjoy the beauty of our landscapes, but this puts huge pressure on the pathways. Public donations can help us care for and love these areas in a sustainable and sensitive way.’
A donation of £25 will allow the team to stabilise the edge of collapsing pathways; £50 will allow a draining solution to be implemented to 4 metres of walkway; and £60 will help restore up to 10 metres of path.
Our footpath team, made up of four people, travels the length and breadth of Scotland year-round, maintaining 245 miles of path network, for the 1 million people who visit every year.
At Ben Lawers alone, there are 187 cross drains, 434 water bars, 944 metres of pitching and 2,974 metres of drains, showing the scale of the work involved at just one site.
To make a donation to our Footpath Fund, visit our Footpath Fund page.
Ben Lawers is a popular walking location.
in which we’re loving and protecting Scotland, for you.

Pope: Fun, not money should rule sports; athletes must be good models

By Carol Glatz
Soccer-fan Pope Francis urged professional athletes to always be sportsmanlike on and off the field because so many people, especially kids, look up to them.
The pope also said he wished all sports could be about celebration, not money and big business, which risk "tainting everything."
The pope made his remarks during an audience May 2 with the top two ranking Italian major league soccer teams and representatives of an Italian soccer federation.
The audience came the day before the two teams -- Fiorentina and Napoli -- were to hit the pitch in Rome and vie for the Italian Cup championship title May 3.
The pope, who has been a lifelong supporter of the San Lorenzo soccer team in Buenos Aires, Argentina, said he has "wonderful memories" of going to the stadium. Watching games with his family members reflected some "joyous moments on Sundays," he recalled.
"I hope that soccer and every other popular sport could recover the sense of celebration.
"Today, soccer, too, is immersed in a world of big business, with advertising, television, etc.," he said.
"But the economic side must not prevail over sports because it risks tainting everything at the international, national and local levels," he said.
People at the top of the sports industry need to be proactive, "restoring dignity" to sporting events, he said.
But soccer players and other pro-athletes have enormous responsibility, too, he said.
"You are at the center of attention and many of your fans are young, very young; keep this in mind, think about how your behavior" both good and bad, speaks volumes and influences others, he said.
"Always be true sportsmen," he added.
The pope explained that sports have important educational value because they contribute to personal growth, highlight the harmony of body and spirit, foster social development and promote the values of "solidarity, loyalty and respect."
"May soccer always develop this potential," he said, adding that he hoped the next day's championship would be "a wonderful celebration."
The delegates visiting the pope gave him soccer balls and team jerseys signed by the players.
One of the players to greet the pope was a former player on the San Lorenzo team who now plays for Fiorentina.
The future pope played basketball when he was young, and was a longtime card-carrying member of the San Lorenzo soccer team.
When he was cardinal of Buenos Aires, he lamented that the fan scene had deteriorated since his youth.
At the worst, "people would yell at the referee that he was a bum, a scoundrel, a sellout ... nothing in comparison to the epithets they use today," he said in a book of interviews titled, "Pope Francis: Conversations with Jorge Bergoglio."

Oops! Britney Spears Accidentally Burned Down Her Home Gym
"One thing led to another and I burned it down."
Britney Spears gave her fans an update from her home gym, casually noting that it was her first time using it in six months because she had accidentally burned it to the ground. No one seems to have been harmed in the fire since Spears could not possibly be more nonchalant about the whole thing. "I had two candles and — yeah,” explains Spears. “One thing lead to another and I burned it down.” Sometimes in life, one thing simply leads to another, which ultimately ends in a home gym fire.
Spears notes that only two pieces of gym equipment and a mirror survived the fire unscathed before launching into an example of her downsized workout routine. It's clearly not that deep, you guys! Spears understands that her good fortune and brings it up in the video's caption: "It could be much worse so I’m grateful." Plus, working out outside is so much more her speed. It's so much easier to outrun Usain Bolt and dance to your once-scorned ex's new song out in the sunshine.
If we're lucky, there will one day be a national movement around the preservation of Spears' absolutely perfect and pure-hearted Instagram archive. Until then, watch the video below.

Bay of Plenty athletes react to postponement of Tokyo Olympic Games

After weeks of speculation, the 2020 Tokyo Olympics have officially been postponed to next year due to the coronavirus pandemic. Sports reporter David Beck spoke to some of Bay of Plenty's Olympic qualifiers and hopefuls about how they are affected.
• Covid 19 coronavirus: New Zealanders make last minute scramble for supplies before Covid-19 lockdown
• Covid-19 coronavirus lockdown: deadline for domestic travel extended so people can get home
• Covid-19 coronavirus: Six-month mortgage holiday will increase loans, but people will keep their homes, Robertson says
• Covid-19 coronavirus: Wellington City Council cancels parking charges
Two weeks ago, Callum Gilbert took a massive step towards achieving a dream.
The Tauranga man, now living in Rotorua, was named alongside fellow Bay of Plenty paddler Luuka Jones to represent New Zealand in canoe slalom at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics in July.
Today, he found out he would have to wait a little longer as the Games were postponed to some time in 2021, not later than summer, to safeguard the health of the athletes, everybody involved in the Olympic Games and the international community.
Gilbert said it had been a strange few weeks with future of the 2020 Olympics up in the air, so it was a relief to have a decision made.
"It's been a really changeable time with lots going on, a lot of my preparation plans had already fallen through or been changed. I'm sort of in this zone of just training but not really knowing when the competitions were going to be or if they were going to be.
"It's nice to have something a bit more definite now and it allows us to make a proper plan again," he said.
While disruptive, more time to prepare is a positive.
"We'll probably do a longer block of base training while we wait to see what other competitions there will be later in the year. Then next year we can really prepare our best for the Olympic Games.
Motivation key for Karpik amid uncertainty

David Beck: It's crucial Covid-19 pandemic isn't followed by a mental health pandemic
From the Editor: Together, we can do this

"There are a lot of things I wanted to get right before the Olympics this year but I think giving myself an extra year I can hopefully be even better by this time next year.
"It's definitely been really fluid but, it's interesting, I haven't felt a lack of motivation. I can see how it would come but I actually got into a really nice zone of the day-to-day routine of training and paddling without such a clear end goal. I was just really happy in the process and what I was doing."

Meanwhile, 31-year-old Luuka Jones, who was set to compete in her fourth Olympic Games, was relieved about the decision to postpone, saying it would have been messy if it had gone ahead this year.
"If they had gone ahead in August, we would've been faced with a moral, ethical decision about whether to go or not. I'm really happy that they've made the decision because up until now we were kind of still training as if the Olympics would go ahead.
"Now, we can reassess training and I think the main thing is that it's not cancelled. I was really hoping it would still go ahead but obviously at a later date."
She said her main goal of "just getting better as an athlete" was more than enough to keep her motivated during these uncertain times.
"We've actually still had a lot of opportunity in New Zealand to train on the white water up to now. My competitors in Europe and Asia have been on lockdown for ages and just won't have access to water so I feel quite fortunate we've been able to train up to now. I think the closest some of the Europeans have is on a Swiss ball with a stick.

"We were about to ramp up the intensity but I think we'll now just go back to training as if it was the off season."
The postponement could be a blessing in disguise for Tauranga's O'Dea brothers - Sam and Ben. The 2018 Commonwealth Games beach volleyball bronze medallists have been sweating on Ben's return from injury.
"It's actually good for us, it's an interesting one. Our plans have been put on hold, I was going to train in Germany for the summer so obviously that won't happen but for us it is good in that it gives Ben more time.
"We had taken the pressure off and stepped back from the Olympics a bit, to take the pressure off Ben to get healthy and to just take it as it comes. But, for it to be postponed a year gives us more of a build-up."
For brothers Ben (left) and Sam O'Dea, the postponement of the 2020 Olympics is a blessing in disguise. Photo / File
O'Dea said the ups and downs of his career so far had made him more resilient and better equipped to deal with unforeseen circumstances.
"Growing up and paying for a long time, you kind of hang your hat on 'I'm only going to be successful if I do this or get this result'. It took me a while to realise that's a really tough way to look at sport and there are things that can happen that are outside of your control - this is definitely one of them and it must be shattering for a lot of athletes.
"If you just focus on training, getting better and the journey, then when things like this happen it just becomes part of that journey."
With the official word from the IOC the @olympics will be postponed to no later than summer 2021. As we all know decisions that impact so many people need to be well thought out and considered. The impact of Covid-19 on our World has meant we have had to make changes to look after each other. As we go into lock down in NZ, I can’t be more proud of our leader @jacindaardern and my country. I will be training as best to my ability over the next month in isolation along with many other athletes. We are now going into a new normal, so please look after everyone, be kind ❤️❤️Lisa
A post shared by Lisa Carrington (@liscarrington) on Mar 24, 2020 at 10:25am PDT
Meanwhile, 30-year-old double Olympic champion Lisa Carrington, of Whakatāne, took to Instagram to share her thoughts.
"As we all know decisions that impact so many people need to be well thought out and considered. The impact of Covid-19 on our world has meant we have had to make changes to look after each other.
"As we go into lockdown in NZ, I can't be more proud of our leader Jacinda Ardern and my country. I will be training as best to my ability over the next month in isolation along with many other athletes. We are now going into a new normal, so please look after everyone, be kind."

Oxford Library of Psychology
Mental health problems impose a staggering worldwide public health burden. Regrettably, whereas many sciences have been progressing for centuries (e.g., biology, chemistry) it is only recently that the strategies of science have been applied to the field of clinical psychology. At this relatively early stage in the science of clinical psychology, the majority of work is ahead of us, and as such the prepared investigator must be familiar with the full portfolio of modern research strategies-a set of 'directions' for getting from 'here' to 'there.' To continue to move the science of clinical psychology forward, investigators benefit when they systematically rely on research strategy "routes" that achieve favorable balances between scientific rigor and clinical relevance. With this need in mind, The Oxford Handbook of Research Strategies for Clinical Psychology has recruited some of the field's foremost experts to explicate the essential research strategies currently used across the modern clinical psychology landscape that maximize both precision and significance. Chapters in this volume address design, measurement, and analytic strategies for clinical psychology, including comprehensive coverage of: - effective laboratory methods in experimental psychopathology, single-case experimental designs, small pilot trials, the randomized controlled trial, adaptive and modular treatment designs, and dissemination methods and models - change measurement, observational coding, measurement of process variables across treatment, structural and functional brain imagining, and experience sampling data collection methods - statistical power, correlation and regression, randomized clinical trial data analysis, conventions in mediation and moderation analysis, structural equation modeling, meta-analytic techniques, item-response theory, and the appropriate handling of missing data. The book concludes with an integrative summary of research strategies addressed across the volume, and guidelines for future directions in research methodology, design, and analysis that will keep our young science moving forward in a manner that maximizes scientific rigor and clinical relevance.

Midland County Search and Rescue hosted a Fundamentals of Search and Rescue course and SARTECH II certification testing at Midland City Forest during two recent weekends that brought in search and rescue personnel from around the state.
Fundamentals of Search and Rescue and SARTECH certifications nationally recognized programs through the National Association of Search and Rescue and was led by Buckeye Emergency Response Training School based in Ohio. Fundamentals of Search and Rescue is a five-day program that trains new and intermediate searchers on techniques and gear for safe search and rescue operations and wilderness survival, including an overnight search exercise. The SARTECH II testing included a written exam and practical tests on land navigation; knots and improvised harnesses; tracking; and area and route searches.
Eight members of the Midland County Search and Rescue team completed the Fundamentals of Search and Rescue course and SARTECH II certification.
“These team members have been training for several months to prepare and excelled over these two weekends. Completing this certification takes dedication and a large time commitment by the members as well as a financial investment made possible by the support of individuals and organizations in the area,” said Midland County Search and Rescue Officer Kevin Barnum.
Midland County Search and Rescue is an all-volunteer organization under the direction of the Midland County sheriff. For more information, visit MidlandSAR.org. New members are always welcome.

Dr. Charles Thomas is just one of OHSU’s radiation oncologists. Our doctors are skilled in all types of radiation therapy and will recommend the most effective treatment for your needs.
We offer you expertise in all types of internal beam radiation therapy. You’ll find:
The latest techniques to safely attack cancer cells while avoiding healthy tissue.
Advanced technology to deliver internal radiation more quickly and with fewer side effects.
Radiation experts who work with the rest of your cancer team to give you the best possible care.
What is internal radiation therapy?
Internal radiation therapy places a source of radioactive material in or near a tumor. It allows your cancer team to safely and effectively deliver a higher dose than with external beam radiation therapy. It can be permanent or temporary depending on your diagnosis and needs.
Your team may consider several kinds of internal radiation therapy. They will recommend the one that’s best for you based on your overall health and the type and stage of your cancer.
What is it? Brachytherapy places tiny radioactive implants in the shape of seeds, capsules or pellets in the tumor (interstitial brachytherapy) or nearby (intracavity brachytherapy).
Treatment can be temporary, with your doctor removing the implants after treatment. Or it can be permanent, with the material staying in place. This is safe because the implants produce less radiation as time passes. Low-level radiation will not harm people around you.
How is it delivered? Brachytherapy can be given in a high-dose rate (HDR) or a low-dose rate (LDR).
HDR: This treatment is temporary and given in repeat sessions. Because it uses powerful radiation, it usually takes less time than LDR brachytherapy. Your doctor will use thin flexible tubes called catheters to precisely place the implants. The implants are removed after a few minutes. You may have one or two HDR sessions in one day, or several in a week.
LDR: This treatment can be temporary or permanent. If temporary, it may take just a few minutes, or it can last several hours or days. You will stay in a room designed for the procedure. Your care team will limit exposure to others. If LDR treatment is permanent, the implants may be placed in your body during surgery. You may stay in the hospital overnight or for a few days to recover. The implants slowly release radiation over a few weeks or months.
What cancers is it used for?
Selective internal radiation therapy (SIRT)
What is it? Also called radioembolization, this therapy targets liver tumors by sending radioactive beads through your blood vessels directly to the cancer. It is used to treat tumors that can’t be removed through surgery.
How is it delivered? Most of the blood supplied to liver tumors comes from a blood vessel called the hepatic artery. Your doctor inserts a thin, flexible tube called a catheter into the artery, then uses it to send radioactive beads to the tumor. Because the beads emit radiation only over a short distance, they affect just the tumor, avoiding damage to the liver and other tissue.
What cancer is it used for?
What is it? Systemic radiation uses medications with radioactive materials to distribute radiation to your whole body. These radiopharmaceuticals travel through your bloodstream and attach themselves to cancer cells. They give off small amounts of radiation that kills the cancer. In some cases, they may be given along with external radiation therapy.
How is it delivered? Radiopharmaceuticals can be taken in pill or liquid form. They also might be given in an IV. Some radioactive material will remain in your system during treatment, so you may stay in a special hospital room for a day or two to protect others from exposure. Everyone’s bodies eliminate radiation at different rates. Your doctor can help you take steps to protect friends and family in the days after you go home.

'Copenhagen' at Palm Beach Dramaworks a compelling drama
Jan Sjostrom | Palm Beach Daily News
How much of what we remember actually occurred as we remember it? That is the question explored in Copenhagen, Michael Frayn's chatty, abstract play about the horrors brilliant minds can create and the unpredictability of memory. Thanks to taut direction by resident director J. Barry Lewis and stellar performances by a dream cast, the production at Palm Beach Dramaworks isn't rambling and dryly intellectual, which, considering the amount of physics expounded, is a hazard. The play's inspiration is a much-disputed 1941 meeting between Werner Heisenberg, a leader in the Nazis' nuclear research program, and Niels Bohr, Heisenberg's Danish, half-Jewish former mentor. Nobel Prize-winning scientists, their theories paved the way for the atom bomb -- which both sides in the war were racing to develop... ...When the scientists reminisce about the heady days of their early discoveries they sound like ordinary guys rehashing a football game. But the bomb was no game. Neither man wants to accept responsibility for the uses to which his work was put. Colin McPhillamy's Bohr is avuncular, but quite capable of shredding Heisenberg's defenses. Elizabeth Dimon as the skeptical Margrethe is a shrewd if hardly unbiased observer. Christopher Oden's Heisenberg is the most fascinating of all -- a waif-like genius at once eager to be welcomed back into the Bohr fold and tortured by his loyalty to his beloved country. The production values are superior, but Todd Wren's haunting lighting design is particularly notable. Most important, Lewis deserves credit for a well-tuned production that overcomes a garrulous script.

OMNITURM
OMNITURM, Frankfurt, Germany
© Peikko
The Sykscraper: A Challenge in every Respect.
OMNITURM Frankfurt by BIG architects.
Frankfurt impresses (once again) with the rapid expansion of its high-rise skyline: During the construction phase of OMNITURM, a total of five skyscrapers are under construction in Frankfurt at the same time: Grand Tower, Henningerturm, Marienturm, OMNITURM and WinX. This is unprecedented in the history of Frankfurt, not even in the early 1990s, when Messeturm, Westend Tower and Trianon were built. Nevertheless, OMNITURM stands out as unique among these giants – both in terms of design and multifunctionality.
When space is scarce, divert into the third dimension
Urbanization is a dynamic process that can contribute to more sustainable land use development. In 2007, the world population reached a turning point: for the first time in human history, more people lived in cities than in rural areas – and the trend is intensifying. In this context, cities with well-designed high-rise buildings are an important part of the solution for future living spaces.
Architects and developers have a great responsibility towards society, the environment and generations to come. Since skyscrapers have an extreme impact on their surroundings, these huge structures must be designed and constructed with great care and consideration. They must be tailored precisely to the needs of the people who live and work there in order to create a healthy urban society in the long term.
Regarding its urban development, Frankfurt combines a typically European, organically grown town with the skyscraper city of a modern metropolis into a vibrant ensemble of buildings. OMNITURM is located in the heart of this architectural mixture of high and low. Its name (Latin: omnis 'all') is an allusion to the coexistence of residential and work life in the high-rise building.
Distinctly designed from the inside outwards
In OMNITURM, spaces with various functions are streamlined and efficiently stacked on top of each other. Variations in the interior spatial concept induce sculptural movements in the exterior shape. On street level, the floor areas are shifted back and forth to create vegetated terraces with a view of the park. Halfway up the silhouette, where the high-rise building transforms to a residential structure, the slabs project in a helical motion, creating outdoor spaces for the residents, before it resumes the rectangular, linear cliché of a tower upwards.
BIG architects have designed a tower that expands at its centre to accommodate the optimum spatial dimensions for each respective function. The OMNITURM incorporates two distinct office environments as well as living and public areas, each shaping the exterior appearance of the tower. The OMNITURM unites its working and living spaces in a logical design with artistic symbolism.
Architectural design as a challenge for structural design
A central feature of the architectural concept is the "hip swing", an alternating cantilevering of the 15th to 22nd floors by up to 5 metres in different directions. This presented several challenges to the structural designers. The high-rise building itself forms a spiral by shifting the storeys along its vertical axis. Above, the tower returns to rationally optimized floor areas and thus completes its rotation to realign with the structure outline beneath. The interior function leaves a visible footprint in the exterior design. The cantilevered slabs form terraces for a total of 8,200 m² of living space in a prime location of Frankfurt's real estate landscape.
Bollinger + Grohmann are forerunners among structural designers when it comes to making extraordinary constructions become reality. After the Danish architectural office around Bjarke Ingels, BIG architects, won the architectural competition, the engineers conducted a feasibility study. The aim was to optimize the geometry of the column strands “in order to minimize inclinations and deflections of the columns. At the same time, the decision not to use corner supports required the development of a support system that can renounce these structural elements.”
The OMNITURM was structurally designed as a high-rise building with main and secondary precast reinforced concrete beams, cast in-situ slabs and a reinforced concrete core. "Building projects with this type of structural design are ideal for precast concrete construction, because only a few connection details need to be developed, which are repeated over and over again," explains Thorsten Heskamp, who supervised the project in Peikko's Customer Engineering.
Precast elements in a high-rise building
Due to the construction method with precast elements and thus eccentric supports, the components are subject to torsion. Therefore, the load must be centered by a tension connection. Peikko HPKM column shoes and anchoring couplers in the precast beams avoid torsional moments on all levels above the second floor – wherever a beam is supported by a concrete corbel or a main beam rests on a secondary beam. The use of HPKM column shoes was dimensioned for horizontal installation by Peikko's technical support team and designed individually for the OMNITURM. Anchoring couplers, designed to be manufactured and threaded in precisely calculated lengths to match the standard formwork, are a vital component of the connection system.
This individual Peikko solution combines the benefits of transferring tension forces through the joints of a cast-in-situ structure with quasi-monolithic behavior with the fast assembly of the precast construction. In addition, the column shoe meets all requirements including the fire resistance of R120 for the load-bearing structure. This requirement is fulfilled by the verification according to ETA-130603 approval and by indenting the component deeper into the precast element.
For high-rise buildings, a precast concrete structure is ideally suited, since it is important to make quick and efficient progress building upwards. Peikko is an expert for connection technology used in precast elements, constantly developing creative solutions for demanding structural situations in cooperation with designers and architects. In the end, the quality of a building with the size and effects of a high-rise building is always better the smoother the cooperation between the people involved in the construction is. The example of OMNITURM illustrates that precast construction is fast, efficient and safe.

Everything You Need to Know About Chrysanthemum Flower Meanings, Symbolism, History, Origins and Cultural Significance
Inspect any florist’s display of potted plants and floral arrangements, and you’ll surely find chrysanthemums in the mix. This lovely and versatile flowering plant is one of the most popular around the world for growing, arranging, and gifting. With tens of thousands of cultivars and symbolic meanings attached to many, chrysanthemums make the perfect floral gift or display for just about any season or special occasion. Here we’ll share everything you need to know about Chrysanthemum meaning, symbolism, their origins, history, colors, and cultural significance around the world.
Chrysanthemum Meaning – The Essentials:
Chrysanthemum flower meaning and symbolism varies depending on the color of the flower’s bloom. Red Chrysanthemum flowers symbolize love and passion; White Chrysanthemum blooms are synonymous with sentiments of condolence, purity, and innocence; Pink Chrysanthemums symbolize affection, attraction, and romance; Yellow Chrysanthemums historically portray meanings of sorrow though today are symbolic of celebration, and happiness; Orange Chrysanthemums symbolize enthusiasm and passion. In addition, Eastern and Western cultures also hold different symbolic meanings of the Chrysanthemum flower (both positive and negative) relating to specific events and occasions.
All About Chrysanthemum Flowers
Chrysanthemums have a rich history and grow in thousands of varieties, each more alluring than the next. Many of the most popular mums have their own symbolic meanings. Depending on the occasion and the culture in which you find yourself, you can use chrysanthemums to send special symbolic sentiments to your loved ones to mark the special occasions in their lives.
Genus and Plant Family
Chrysanthemums – or “mums” for short – belong to the genus chrysanthemum in the daisy (Asteraceae) plant family. Perennial flowering plants, mums have soft, herbaceous stems, pointed leaves with smooth or toothed edges, and generous blossoms that range in shape from round pom-poms to flat discs. With petals that vary from needle-like or spidery to flat or curled, they bloom in just about every color and combination of colors you can imagine.
Origins of Chrysanthemum Flowers
Mums have long been a favorite of botanists and were cultivated in China as early as the 15th century B.C. The original flowers that grow wild feature golden-colored blossoms, but by 1630, more than 500 cultivars had been identified and recorded. Today, it’s estimated that more than 20,000 different chrysanthemum varieties exist, and each is beautiful in its own way.
Uses and Benefits of Chrysanthemum Flowers
While they’re wonderful for arranging, pressing, and drying for display, many chrysanthemum cultivars have uses that stretch beyond looking pretty. White and yellow chrysanthemum flowers for instance are often used to make tea and various flavorings. Their leaves can also be boiled or steamed to be eaten as greens. Mums carry a natural insecticide. Planted in your garden, they’ll ward off pesky bugs and insects. Plus, NASA identified live, potted mums as one of the best plants for cleaning indoor air pollution.
Medicinal Benefits of Chrysanthemum Flowers
Chrysanthemums are also thought to have potential medicinal uses. In natural medicine, the roots are sometimes boiled to treat headaches. Health products containing chrysanthemums also claim to help lower blood sugar.
Additionally, chrysanthemum has been used to treat or aid in the treatment of fever, angina, high blood pressure, prostate cancer, and stomach cancer. Though, there is no solid scientific research backing these claims.
A Florists Favorite
These flowers are native to East Asia and North-Eastern parts of Europe, but thanks to their seemingly endless varieties, colors, uses, and benefits, chrysanthemums have made their way into florists’ hearts and home gardens around the world. Depending on your growing zone, chrysanthemums bloom from late summer through early winter, but you can find them at a local florist’s shop any time of the year.
Chrysanthemum Meaning and Symbolism
With so many types of mums growing all around the world, it should come as no surprise that many varieties have been ascribed special symbolic meanings. These can be used to convey messages and personal sentiments when arranged in a bouquet, corsage, boutonniere, or other floral gifts.
Generally, chrysanthemums symbolize friendship, trust, joy, optimism, longevity, and fidelity. However, the symbolic meaning ascribed to chrysanthemums can differ depending on the color of mum, type of bloom, and the local culture.
White Chrysanthemum Meaning
White chrysanthemums hold many meanings. In some cultures, the flower is strictly reserved for sympathy and remembrance, as white often conveys sentiments of condolences.
However, white chrysanthemums also symbolize purity, innocence, spirituality, loyalty, and honesty. These additional symbolic meanings make them an appropriate addition to bouquets for a variety of recipients and occasions.
Red Chrysanthemum Meaning
Red is the official color of Valentine’s Day for a reason; generally, it symbolizes romantic love, strong feelings, and deep passion. So naturally, red chrysanthemums carry these same sentiments. If you want to give a gift of flowers to the love of your life, but have grown tired of roses, then choose a bouquet of red chrysanthemums or a mixed arrangement containing all kinds of red flowers.
Pink Chrysanthemum Meaning
In Japan, pink chrysanthemums are especially loved because they symbolize the emperor and the Imperial family. Pink chrysanthemums also represent longevity. Pink flowers, in general, carry feelings of gentle affection, attraction, and romance, making them a great choice for a first date or a new love.
Yellow Chrysanthemum Meaning
In Victorian floral traditions, yellow chrysanthemums represented sorrow and neglected love – quite the contradiction to their bright, cheerful hue.
However, in modern times, this isn’t so much the case. In the United States especially, yellow flowers (including chrysanthemums) have gone the way of the yellow smiley face and are usually understood to symbolize happiness, joy, celebration, and high spirits. They’re a good choice for a birthday celebration, congratulatory bouquet, or for cheering up a recovering patient.
Violet Chrysanthemum Meaning
Violet chrysanthemums convey get well wishes to their recipient. They’re a great choice to include in a floral arrangement for a friend who’s ill or recovering from surgery.
Green Chrysanthemum Meaning
Especially popular in their button variety, green chrysanthemums carry a host of positive meaning. They symbolize rebirth, renewal, good fortune, good health, and youthfulness.
Orange Chrysanthemum Meaning
In the language of flowers, the color orange means what you might expect it to mean: brimming, bubbly feelings of excitement, enthusiasm, and passion.
Chrysanthemum Meaning in Culture: What Do Mums Symbolize in Various Traditions?
Symbolic mum meanings not only vary based on their color, but their meanings can also vary between different cultural traditions. Depending on where you are, chrysanthemums might have either a negative or positive symbolic meaning.
In Greek culture, chrysanthemum symbolism comes from the literal meaning of the flower’s name, which is gold (chrysos) flower (anthemon).
In France, Belgium, Austria, Italy, and other European countries, chrysanthemums are viewed exclusively as a symbol of mourning, sympathy, and death. They’re only given as a token of sympathy or grief, and they’re reserved for memorial flowers, funeral wreaths, and cemetery decorations.
In Britain, however, chrysanthemum meaning aligns more closely with the symbolism recognized in the United States: cheerfulness and joy, optimism, and longevity.
In Japan, chrysanthemums also play a role in mourning. White mums are reserved for funerals and graves. Other chrysanthemums are viewed as symbols of perfection, longevity, and rejuvenation. They also represent the Sun and comprise the Imperial Seal of Japan.
In China, chrysanthemums symbolize longevity, nobility, and good luck in the home. They can also symbolize reincarnation, rebirth, and new life.
As they’re commonly called mums, chrysanthemums are the official flower for celebrating Mother’s “Mum’s” Day in Australia.
Victorian Culture
Flower language and meaning were all the rage during the Victorian Era. Chrysanthemums were used to convey well-wishes, good luck, and to express feelings of friendship. The Victorians also relied heavily on the color-coded meanings of floral gifts. So, for example, to a Victorian, a red chrysanthemum might have represented feelings of romantic love for a friend. Yellow and white chrysanthemums respectively represented slighted love and truth.
In addition to all these traditions, different chrysanthemums and their individual meanings have also become popular in floral tattoo art. They’re often chosen as remembrance tattoos intended to honor someone who has passed away.
Chrysanthemum tattoos can also represent rebirth, chosen to commemorate an important time of transformation or a new beginning in one’s life. Chrysanthemum tattoo meanings vary depending on the type of mum, the colors used, and, of course, each individual’s story.

3. Memorials and Funerals
In certain places, chrysanthemums are the quintessential funeral flowers. For instance, in the United States, white chrysanthemums and other white flowers are considered the most appropriate for sending condolences. Give an elegant wreath or arrangement of white chrysanthemums to convey your deepest sympathy to those who have lost a loved one.
4. Falling in Love
In spite of their maudlin reputation in some parts of the world, chrysanthemums generally represent happiness in the U.S. What’s happier than experiencing new love? Show your beau or belle your feelings of attraction, romance, and excitement with a bouquet of pink and orange mums.
5. Autumn and Winter Weddings
Although you can find them year-round, chrysanthemums bloom naturally in the autumn and winter.

Your wedding flowers will not only be less expensive, but they will also be more beautiful since your mums will have freshly blossomed in all their splendor.

7. Holiday Celebrations
Since chrysanthemums bloom in just about every color, you can combine them to create festive bouquets and floral accents for celebrating any holiday. Imagine bouquets of spooky purples, oranges, greens, and yellows for Halloween; white and green for St. Patrick’s Day; red, white, and blue for Independence Day; creamy whites, reds, and maroons for Christmas; snowy white and bright red for New Year’s; autumn hues for Thanksgiving Day; and all sorts of pastels for springtime celebrations!

Pfaff Auto | Blog | Review: BMW X4 M40i
Review: BMW X4 M40i
Blog Oct 24th, 2016
I was not predisposed to like the BMW X4 M40i. The idea of a performance SUV is somewhat puzzling to me; lowness and lightness, two characteristics that few SUVs have, are inherently lacking. Top that with the X4’s further twist of a chopped-down roofline and sloping rear hatch, and you limit the versatility that makes SUVs appealing in the first place. But much to my own surprise, I really fell for this truck in a big way, and it’s all thanks to the way it drives.
Badged as an “M40i,” the hot X4 is sort of a halfway house between the mainstream models and the full-on M vehicles; there isn’t an X4 M like there is an X5 M and X6 M, so for now it’s the most powerful and best-specced X4 you can buy. In that sense, it’s like my own M235i, a 2-series that has some extra speed, big blue-painted brakes, Michelin Pilot Super Sport tires, sporty suspension tuning, and exterior and interior addenda that add some spice to the styling. Unlike the M235i, it has a full-on M engine as well, a 365-hp turbocharged inline-six that also features in the spectacular new M2, one of the year’s hottest and most desirable performance cars.
Even without the dealer-fitted M Performance accessory exhaust, the X4 M40i sounds spectacular, ripping through the gears with an edgy snarl that belies its turbocharged nature. As you’d expect, the turbo torque delivers instant midrange punch no matter what speed you’re going or which of the eight paddle-shifted gears you’re in; what you might not expect is the sharp throttle response and the lack of lag. Unlike the M2, which comes with either a six-speed manual or a seven-speed M DCT dual-clutch box, the X4 M40i is fitted with a ZF eight-speed automatic, but the presence of a torque converter does little to blunt the performance feel.
The rest of the M40i’s controls back up the powertrain’s strength and precision, and all feel good enough to live up to the M badging. The slightly-too-thick steering wheel (a characteristic of all M cars) guides hefty steering that delivers terrific road feel. The brake pedal has a relatively long travel that lets you accurately meter out the monoblock calipers’ stupendous stopping power. Body control in corners and over pavement undulations is sports-car good: the X4 M40i corners fast, flat and true, and there’s none of the heaving sensation you get in aggressive driving that you do in some fast SUVs.
The downside of this M2-like performance is an M2-like ride, which can feel a little brittle in the city; setting up the sport button to engage a more aggressive drivetrain without stiffening up the shocks helps, but not a lot. A bevy of driver-assist systems, including lane departure warning (which vibrates the steering wheel when you stray to the edge of a lane), frontal collision prevention (which flashes an icon in the heads-up display) and pedestrian collision prevention, mean that the driving experience lacks the delicious simplicity of the little coupe – sure, you could turn all the assists off, but then what’s the point?
How does the M40i measure up as an SUV? Better than you might think. While the roofline slopes, rear-seat space is actually quite decent, and the cargo area is large, if a little oddly shaped and with a tiny rear window. Storage bins aplenty litter the interior, and the rear seats split and fold if you need to carry something large or awkward. The seats themselves are terrific – the sporty buckets up front with adjustable side bolsters are broad and comfortable, but can be set up to hug you tightly in corners. And while BMW’s doesn’t build interiors with quite the level of refinement and polish as Audi does, there’s no question that the cabin is solidly constructed out of robust materials.
Like other M-halfway-house vehicles, the X4 M40i comes with a long list of standard equipment. In addition to performance-enhancing features like the 20-inch wheels, fat tires, big brakes, and adjustable suspension, there’s a terrific sound system, iDrive with high-resolution navigation, and more. BMW’s been working at integrating the latest technology into its cars longer than any other manufacturer, and it shows in how well all the systems work together: iDrive is intuitive, seamless, and responsive, but never intrusive; the heads-up display is simple and clear; and you can control all the driver assists with one switch between the air vents.
It’s an impressive package,the X4 M40i – and with a starting price of $60,700, it looks like conspicuously good value, given that an M2 with the same engine and fewer features lists for over $4,000 more. No, the two vehicles don’t address the same buyer, or ultimately, achieve the same goals. But the presence of the M2’s rasping, crackling motor in the X4 M40i gives it a level of excitement and character that you wouldn’t expect, and elevates it above the competition.

RavPower's $15 Solar Power Bank charges your phone with the sun
With a coupon and checkout code you can get this solar-powered charger for less than half price.
If you're going hiking or camping this summer, don't get caught without power for your phone. Today, you can get RavPower's 15,000mAh portable solar charger for $15, the all-time low and way, way down from the usual $34. To get the sale price, click the $10 off coupon on the product page and use the code GRORJGCU at checkout.
This charger features a large solar panel area to suck up the sun and keep the battery topped up. It takes at least a week to go from zero to a full charge using only sunlight, however, because of the battery pack's massive 15,000mAh capacity. That's why it also includes a microUSB port for charging with a 5 volt, 2 amp wall charger. Then you can top up two devices simultaneously using sunlight when you're out in the field.
In addition to acting as a battery pack, this portable charge has a flashligh. It's also splashproof, shockproof, and dustproof. RavPower says this nifty little charger can top up an iPhone 7 4.2 times, an iPhone 7 Plus three times, or a Galaxy S8 2.8 times. Those were new phones when this device was released, but sufficed to say it will keep newer phones charged multiple times.
[Today's deal: RavPower 15,000mAh solar charger for $15 at Amazon.]

RESEARCH: Cost of Advertising Fraud May Be Higher than Suspected, Millennial Parents Receptive to Branded Content
By Gretchen Gardner @gardnergretchen 03/17/2017
Check out our new round up for brand marketers, where you’ll find the most relevant new insights and research published over the last week. If you’re trying to keep up, consider this your one-stop shop.
– A new Google study on Millennials done in partnership with Flamingo and Ipsos Connect revealed interesting insight for marketers: 40 per cent of Millennials are parents; on YouTube, more millennial dads watch parenting-related videos than mothers; and Millennial parents rely on guidance from multiple sources, and are fine accepting advice from companies through branded content.
– Burger King was named Marketer of the Year at the Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity.
– The 2017 North American Camping Report, supported by Kampgrounds of America, Inc. (KOA), found that 45% of Hispanic campers overall and 46% of Hispanic millennials indicating they would increase their camping trips in 2017; and that Millennials comprise 31% of the adult population, yet account for 38% of campers.
– Starbucks released a letter refuting claims that brand perception dropped after the company vowed to hire 10,000 refugees in response to President Trump’s travel ban order.
– Branding firm Vivaldi and the consultancy CMB released a report called “The Power of Social Currency” with insight on quick service restaurants. Subway came out as the top brand, followed by Olive Garden, Wendy’s, Chili’s and Cinnabon.
– In a study with Google’s Art, Copy & Code project, Lyft compared the effectiveness direct response ads to a brand ad using Shaq disguised as a driver. The Shaq ad had 2x the branding lift that the direct response ads did, an 8% higher click rate and a similar conversion rate.
– A new report by The Partnership suggests that the global cost of advertising fraud may have been undervalued: previous estimates were $7.2bn globally each year, but the real cost of ad fraud may have been as high as $12.48bn in 2016.
– Hitwise has revealed that Michael Kors, Ralph Lauren and Coach are the most searched-for luxury brands, receiving 63.5% of the share of online visits to the luxury apparel industry as a whole. Versace, Tom Ford and Yves Saint Laurent are very popular with Millennials.
– Visual IQ announced the results of a Facebook pilot program for telecommunications company O2 and its agency partner Havas: VO2 and Havas’s conversion rates increased from 16% to as high as 123% when Facebook Custom Audience ad placements were used in combination with other digital channels.
– DMA’s Marketer email tracker 2017 revealed that marketers find it increasingly difficult to make their messages interesting or relevant.

Russell’s Sakhir GP incident leads to rule change
Date published: December 18 2020
The FIA have moved to update the rules surrounding tyre usage after George Russell’s unprecedented incident at the Sakhir GP.
A glitch in Mercedes’ messaging system led to Russell being accidentally fitted with team-mate Valtteri Bottas’ tyres during the Sakhir Grand Prix, an issue which the Silver Arrows corrected by boxing Russell again on the next lap.
An incident such as that was grounds for a possible disqualification under the rule which governed the incorrect use of tyres due to its ambiguity, but the stewards accepted that there were mitigating circumstances in the form of the radio error, so instead handed Mercedes a €20,000.
And since there was no incident of this kind before, the stewards requested that the FIA updated the regulation, something which has indeed been done in the latest edition of the F1 Sporting Regulations published by the World Motor Sport Council.
“Any driver who uses a set of tyres of differing specifications or tyres not allocated to him during the race may not cross the line on the track more than twice before returning to the pits and changing them for a set of tyres of the same specification,” the updated regulation reads.
A 10-second stop-go penalty is the punishment for a driver who doesn’t change their incorrect tyres within three laps, as was the case under the old rule.
It was also confirmed that Pirelli will continue to supply teams with the same standard tyre allocation as opposed to the pre-2020 system where teams made their own selections on how many of each compound of tyre they wanted for a race weekend.
That means teams will continue to receive eight sets of soft tyres, three sets of mediums and two hard tyre sets for a race weekend per driver.
Finally, the maximum window of time for a race to be completed in has been reduced.
Previously a grands prix had to be completed within four hours, including red-flag delays, but that will now be reduced to three hours.

Nico ‘gladly accepts Lewis challenge’
Date published: October 4 2012
Nico Rosberg insists he is looking forward to the team-mate battle with Lewis Hamilton at Mercedes next year…
Nico Rosberg insists he is looking forward to the team-mate battle with Lewis Hamilton at Mercedes next year.
The German will team up with long-time karting friend Hamilton at the Brackley-based squad after the latter decided to leave McLaren.
There have been speculation that Hamilton would get the number one status at Merc, but team principal Ross Brawn has already dismissed the reports while Rosberg is ready for any challenge that comes his way.
“No, absolutely not,” he told German newspaper Bild am Sonntag.
“I know the situation. For three years I had Michael, one of the fastest in the world, with me. I have always been comfortable with that.
“Lewis coming here is a challenge and I gladly accept. Lewis is one of the best drivers at the moment but I believe I can measure up.”
As for claims in the press that Hamilton joined Mercedes with the belief that he would be given number one status at the team, Rosberg – and previously Ross Brawn – denied this.
“I have it written in my contract that I will always have the same opportunities as my team-mate – no matter who that is.”
Pressed as to whether he had concerns about his relationship with Hamilton ending up like the Brit’s with Fernando Alonso at McLaren in 2007, Rosberg said: “Both of us are smart enough that it won’t degenerate.”
Asked if he felt any “pity” for Schumacher given that he has lost his race-seat, Rosberg said with a laugh: “No, sorry I don’t.
“He was unsure whether he wanted to continue so Mercedes were forced to choose. Michael has already said himself that he’s not unhappy.”

New cyclonic circulation to brew low pressure in Bay of Bengal
Amaravati, Nov 27: Even before the influence of cyclone Nivar came to a halt, another cyclonic circulation is brewing in the Indian Ocean and the adjoining Andaman Sea, which is likely to intensify into a depression and aggravate further to create low pressure in the Bay of Bengal.
“A cyclonic circulation lies over east Equatorial Indian Ocean and adjoining south Andaman Sea and extends up to 5.8 km above mean sea level,” said a Met department official.
Due to its influence, a low pressure area is very likely to form over southeast Bay of Bengal in the next 48 hours.
“It is likely to concentrate into a depression during the subsequent 24 hours and is likely to intensify further thereafter,” the official said.
By Wednesday, the depression is likely to move westwards and reach Tamil Nadu and Puducherry coasts, not far from Andhra Pradesh.
Meanwhile, the Met department forecast thunderstorms with lightning and isolated heavy rainfall in Guntur and Prakasam districts of Andhra Pradesh on Saturday.
Similarly, thunderstorms accompanied by lightning are likely to occur in parts of north coastal Andhra Pradesh, Yanam and Rayalaseema.
However, there is no rainfall forecast for Sunday and Monday, even as it is set to resume on Tuesday.
On Tuesday, thunderstorms with lightning are likely to occur in Nellore and Chittoor districts, including heavy rainfall in some parts.
Likewise, thunderstorms with lightning are also likely in parts of north coastal Andhra Pradesh and Yanam.

Al Gore’s first film shocked the world, his second film updates the facts.
A decade after An Inconvenient Truth brought climate change into the heart of popular culture comes the follow-up that shows just how close we are to a real energy revolution.
This second film is a fantastic educational tool, for governments, schools, universities and other similar institutions. It presents the facts and a solution without an political bias, which surprised me given Gore’s former political standing. The graphics and images are powerful, Al Gore is a fantastic speaker and while a lot of this content is available elsewhere the editing ensures the message packs a punch.
Overall a powerful film with an important message, I just doubt it’ll reach those who most need to see it.

LOLLIPOPPER’S TOP IN NATIONAL AWARDS
November 30th, 2016 News
Two Leicestershire crossing wardens have been praised for their work towards road safety for schools in the first ever Churchill National Lollipopper Awards.
Carol Stokes from Barwell Infant School and Herbie Lloyd from Battling Brook Primary School in Hinckley were among five winners from across the UK to be awarded for their hard work and commitment as part of National Lollipopper Day.
Launched by Churchill Insurance, the awards welcomed nominations from parents and school children across the country in the four categories of Bravest, Kindest, Most Entertaining and Over and Above, with an overall winner being crowned Lollipopper of the year.

Carole Stokes, who has worked in the job for two and a half years, was awarded the prestigious top prize. She said: “I feel very privileged to have been nominated by the wonderful children and families of Barwell and it’s so touching to have won!”
ITV’s This Morning presenter, Alison Hammond, was joined by pupils of the Barwell Infant School to honour Carol in a surprise presentation. Alison said: “It was so hard to choose the overall Lollipopper of the Year, as there were so many fantastic entries, but Carole stood out as a real star and pillar of the local community.
“The children and I were very excited to be able to reward her and it’s so fantastic to see the love and support she receives from the school and parents.”
Head Teacher, Mrs Sarah Carey, shared her own appreciation for Carole. She said: “Whatever the weather, her love and care for the children and the whole Barwell community shines through.”
The Most Entertaining category was won by Herbie Lloyd, a lollipopper at Battling Brook Primary for over 10 years. He said: “I love being part of the community and being able to bring a little entertainment to the children and parents each day on their school run, whilst keeping them safe.
“It is wonderful to have been recognised for this award, it makes me feel very appreciated and valued.”
Head Teacher, Mr Stewart Marsden, said: “It is so exciting for Herbie to be recognised for his hard work and commitment. He is a key part of the school day for many children and he’s always there to welcome them in the mornings and see them safely home at the end of a busy day of learning.”
The awards are part of the wider Churchill Lollipopper Campaign, which aims to improve safety on school crossings across the UK by deploying more of the iconic safety wardens. The campaign follows research by Road Safety Analysis in 2016, which found that over half of accidental pedestrian casualties occur during the school run.

Is HBO Max available in the UK?

The latest news on HBO Max's international availability as Warner Bros announces its 2021 film slate will stream on the service.
By Thomas Ling
Friday, 4th December 2020 at 10:21 am
Since launching back in May, US streaming service HBO Max has been trailing behind its main competitors Netflix and Disney Plus in terms of subscriber numbers – but that might be about to change.
In December, Warner Bros made the shocking announcement that it would be releasing all of its 2021 movies simultaneously in cinemas and HBO Max, starting with the long-delayed Wonder Woman 1984.
Sci-fi adaptation Dune, creature feature Godzilla vs Kong and DC Comics flick The Suicide Squad are also among the tantalising line-up, which film buffs will be able to enjoy from home with their subscription at no extra cost.
The only catch is that the films will be available to stream for just 31 days and will then revert to being cinema exclusives, so HBO Max customers will have to make sure they prioritise their movie night.
Unfortunately, fans in the UK will miss out on this exciting new development as HBO Max is yet to be made available outside of the United States, meaning cinemas will remain the only way to watch the biggest releases from Warner Bros.
That said, it’s possible that alternative arrangements could be made on our shores – many HBO titles are available to watch on Sky streaming service NOW TV– get your NOW TV entertainment pass right now for £7.99 a month.
Read on for more details and everything you need to know about HBO Max.
Unfortunately, HBO Max is not currently available in the UK.
When will HBO Max launch in the UK?
As it stands, it doesn’t appear HBO Max will launch in the UK in the foreseeable future.
This is because Sky has an exclusivity deal with HBO, meaning HBO TV shows are first broadcast on Sky channels (usually on Sky Atlantic). This deal also means many HBO titles are available to watch on NOW TV (the streaming service from Sky).
In 2019, both HBO and Sky extended their partnership for another five years. It is very unlikely HBO Max will launch in the UK without its core HBO programming during this time.
We’ll keep you updated as we learn more.
Will Warner Bros release movies on streaming in the UK?
As HBO Max is not available in the UK, some film fans may understandably be frustrated that they are missing out on streaming the biggest new releases from the comfort of their home – particularly during this pandemic.
However, it is possible that an alternative solution could be found. According to Variety, Warner Bros is in talks to make Wonder Woman 1984 available on Sky just one month after its cinema release on 16th December.
If this initiative proves successful, similar strategies could be employed for WB’s other 2021 movies, which would bring the UK closer to an HBO Max style home release schedule, albeit not quite as snappy.

What is the HBO Max price in the UK?
As detailed above, HBO Max is not available in the UK, so no pricing information is available.
In the US, the service is available for $15 a month. This is a high price than Disney Plus ($7 a month) and Netflix ($9 a month).
What HBO Max shows are available on the service?
The service launched with a host of original content, including Anna Kendrick rom-com Love Life and On the Record, a documentary delving in the #MeToo movement and record producer Russell Simmons.
Subscribers can also find shows such as Friends, The Big Bang Theory, Rick & Morty, South Park and big-budget HBO dramas such as Game of Thrones and Westworld.
How can I watch HBO Max shows in the UK?
Many HBO titles are available to watch on Sky streaming service NOW TV. Shows such as Westworld are available to watch on the platform – get your NOW TV entertainment pass right now for £7.99 a month.
The service gives users access to 12 live channels and 300 TV series boxsets.

Tag: interview
I’m a terrible self-promoter, so it comes as no surprise to me how there are still so many sex workers, including dommes in my own home city, who have NO IDEA that Remedy exists. Such was the case with SWOPnsw, where I saw a tweet that was asking for “coming out stories.” I replied that my film was such a story, in that I came out under my real name before even launching the crowdfunding campaign for finishing funds.
The resulting review and interview were beautiful and emotional for both me and Fiona Beattie, who wrote the two articles for the hard-copy-only publication The Professional, by and for Australian sex workers. The images here were published with permission of the magazine.
Also, every sex worker should watch that Barney Miller Christmas episode. Seriously.
Yes, I was interviewed by Rolling Stone.
Not about my movie, per se, but about The Movie and The Book that is the primary reason I have way better SEO than I deserve. (Spoken like a true submissive.)
I chugged the book last weekend, and while the movie was pretty darned dreadful, the conversation I had with the reporter was fantastic. We chatted for over two hours, so I did not envy her having to first transcribe everything I rambled about and then distill it to what you see in this article.
Click here to read it!
One thing that didn’t make it in here is my questioning why RS and so many other publications are tapping people from the commercial BDSM industry for their takes on the film rather than asking civilians, who frankly would be far better positioned to critique this film. *I* happen to be kinky at home, but being a pro-domme is not necessarily indicative of personal bedroom preferences. I understand the mainstream misconception. If you want to interview a really good baseball player, you interview a professional baseball player. But this is not analogous in the case of kink. Good top does not mean pro top. Good top might mean pro bottom. Good pro might mean that once you leave work you never want to see a flogger again as long as you live. I hope that a few pubs start tapping just ordinary kinky people, and not necessarily Scene Celebrities either. While the reactions from kinky bloggers are definitely adding to the conversation in a much needed way, it would be nice if journalists realized that the act of interviewing a few of them would do a lot to up kink’s credibility.
I do regret that they had to paint me as an “Expert Domme.” I’m hardly an expert domme. In comparison to many out there, I’m probably hardly a mediocre domme. But I am kinky, and I did make a film about a kinky person who enters a career in commercial BDSM. (That MFA in Video Art & Photography and the BA in Film Theory and Crit probably didn’t hurt either.) So while I don’t believe I deserve the moniker in the sex work sense, I think I make up for it with my other qualifications.
(In other news, I say “like” far too frequently for a woman who’s about to turn 36.)

First of all, you have to prove without a doubt that what was said or written about you is not true. Once you have proved that the statement is, in fact, false you have to prove that the other person said the false statement with the intent of causing you some form of harm.

Home India News Politics TMC counters Nadda's visit with actor Soham's rally; big row over Chaitanya Mahaprabhu
Amid the intense battle between BJP and CM Mamata Banerjee's TMC in poll-bound West Bengal, now the ruling party in the state has attacked BJP chief JP Nadda over 15th century saint Chaitanya Mahaprabhu. The saffron party, with an aim to present themselves close to Bengali culture, is seen enjoying folk music, savouring Bengali cuisine and praising revered Bengali personalities during the campaign. However, the TMC has been prompt to point out the mistakes by the saffron party - which has placed itself as the major Opposition in West Bengal ahead of polls.
After a massive rift over Gurudeb Rabindranath Tagore, and goof-ups on Ishwarchandra Vidyasagar and Birsa Munda, TMC has attacked Nadda after he described a temple in Bardhaman as the site of Chaitanya Mahaprabhu’s diksha (initiation). Nadda had said on Sunday - "Friends, today I went to an old temple of Radha Govind, where Chaitanya Mahaprabhu received initiation (diksha)." The TMC said that the temple in Katwa, which Nadda visited, was built in 1839, however, Mahaprabhu breathed his last at the age of 48 in 1534 and the initiation of Mahaprabhu took place in 1510. Some also claimed that Nadda was probably referring to the centuries-old Gouranga temple where it is believed that Mahaprabhu visited in 1510.
Moreover, as Nadda had lunch in a farmers' house, TMC Youth wing National Vice President and actor Soham Chakraborty pointed out that he had a bottle of mineral water kept beside him, accusing the BJP chief of favouring the corporates even after eating at farmers' homes. He also held a rally in the Bardhaman to counter the BJP roadshow.

Row over Tagore
Ahead of ex-BJP chief Amit Shah's visit to Bolpur, hoardings with his picture of Rabindranath Tagore in the same frame caused outrage and TMC has accused the BJP of insulting Gurudeb. The pictures also caused outrage in neighbouring Santiniketan with a member of Tagore's family calling it "disgusting". TMC took to Twitter and told Amit Shah and BJP to "know the limits." The party said that BJP has once again insulted Tagore, adding that people of Bengal will "NEVER forgive this!" However, BJP leader Anupam Hazra, a picture of whom also figured in the same hoarding, alleged it was the handiwork of Trinamool Congress to embarrass the saffron party ahead of Shah's visit.
Earlier, when Nadda visited Bengal, TMC targeted the BJP chief over his statement on Rabindranath Tagore. Trinamool claimed that Nadda said that Tagore was born in Vishwa Bharti. Terming it as 'lie' and 'false information', Trinamool taunted Nadda by saying that 'foreigners' should learn about the history of Bengal, they also shared a screenshot of BJP's Twitter handle saying the same. However, BJP clarified by posting a video of Nadda's speech and said that what he had meant was that Tagore was born in West Bengal. Nadda had invoked Tagore in his speech and said, "Where the mind is without fear and the head is held high, today the head is down and the people of Bengal are full of fear". Nobel laureate Tagore was born in Jorasanko (now in Bangladesh) in 1861 and he had founded Visva Bharati in 1921.

TMC vs BJP in West Bengal
While the BJP has chalked out a massive plan for the upcoming West Bengal Assembly polls which includes Home Minister Amit Shah visiting the state every month till the elections, Trinamool has already begun its outreach programme highlighting the welfare schemes of the Mamata Banerjee government. The TMC has also roped in former JDU VP and poll strategist Prashant Kishor for Mamata's re-election while the BJP's campaign is being headed by senior leader Kailash Vijayvargiya, under the leadership of BJP chief JP Nadda. Violence has already started in the state ahead of polls, with alleged TMC goons even attacking Nadda while he was on a two-day visit to the state. Earlier, Dilip Ghosh had also asked his BJP cadre to arm themselves with sticks and give it back to the Trinamool cadre if it comes to it. West Bengal assembly with 294 seats will go to polls in April-May 2021, Trinamool holds 222 seats. BJP has made major inroads in the state in the Lok Sabha elections winning 18 seats and establishing itself as the major opposition force in the state.

Change Your Settings Immediately If You Use Any of These 25 Passwords
By Marissa Laliberte, RD.comUpdated: Sep. 28, 2018
If you use these 25 worst passwords of the year, you’ll want to change your settings immediately—or risk having your account hacked.
If you use these 25 passwords, you should change them immediately
With the dozens of passwords you need to keep track of, it’s tempting to find a simple string of letters or numbers to remember and stick with that. If it’s easy for you, though, it’s probably easy for hackers to figure out too.
Software company SplashData analyzed more than 5 million passwords leaked in 2017 to find out which were the easiest for hackers to figure out. For the fourth year in a row, “123456” and “password” topped the list of least secure passwords. They’re likely among the first passwords an identity thief will try, so you’re leaving the door wide open for crooks to steal your information. (Here are 13 Things You Should Know About Online Privacy.)
Don’t think that sneaky letter-to-number trick will save you either. Nineteen on the list was “passw0rd,” using a 0 instead of an O. “Hackers know your tricks, and merely tweaking an easily guessable password does not make it secure,” says SpashData CEO Morgan Slain in a press release.
Using your hobbies and interests could be easy to figure out too. Also on the top 25 worst passwords were “football” (9), “monkey” (13), “starwars” (16), and “dragon” (18). Cutesy sayings also weren’t hard to crack. Some of the most common included “letmein” (7), “iloveyou” (10), “welcome” (12), and the creative “trustno1” (25).
Using an easy-to-guess password makes it easy to steal your data. Reusing those same weak passwords across multiple accounts means if a hacker gets into one account, you leave the door open for him or her to make it into other accounts more easily, too. (Check out these 8 Essential Tips for Safer Online Shopping.)
The best passwords are at least 12 characters long, and use a mix of characters such as capital and lowercase letters, according to SplashData. Using a fresh password for every account also helps, so use a password manager to keep you organized. If the password is so hard that even you can’t remember it, a hacker will have a hard time breaking in, too.
Here are the top 25 worst passwords for online security:
2 password
4 qwerty
7 letmein
9 football
10 iloveyou
11 admin
12 welcome
13 monkey
14 login
15 abc123
16 starwars
18 dragon
19 passw0rd
20 master
21 hello
22 freedom
23 whatever
24 qazwsx
25 trustno1

Election ad sparks new violence in Kyrgyzstan
6 Oct, 2010 17:07
New violence broke out in Kyrgyzstan just days before a parliamentary election.
Twenty people have reportedly stormed the office of the Ata-Jurt nationalist opposition political party in the capital city of Bishkek.
The protest was staged by relatives of those killed in the riots that broke out after the president of the republic was exiled earlier this year.
The protesters broke into the party's headquarters, burning equipment and campaign material.
Their rage was sparked by a recording, recently aired by local media, in which the party's leader said he intended to put the ousted president, Kurmanbek Bakiyev, back into power.
The party's spokesman, however, denied the allegations, saying the tape had been edited.
Ata-Jurt is ranked third in pre-election popularity polls.

International, News, North America
October 1, 2018 by Annan Hepner
Wellington, Fla. – Oct. 1, 2018 – Coming off their double silver at the FEI World Equestrian Games Tryon2018, Olympic bronze medalist Laura Graves on Verdades have now become the first Americans’ to top the FEI Dressage World Rankings. The famous combination has become the first American partnership to be ranked world number 1, as they took home silver in the Grand Prix Special and the Grand Prix competitions, boosting their ranking points to 2714 points, and placing them one point ahead of Germany’s Isabel Werth and Weihegold Old.
Laura Graves and Verdades at the FEI World Equestrian Games Tryon 2018.
Isabel Werth (GER) and Weihegold Old have held the number one position for almost two years, when they took over from fellow German Kristina Bröring-Sprehe in November 2016. This groundbreaking change to the top spot has now pushed them back to second place with a total of 2713 points. Isabel Werth can be found in three more positions in the ranking list, at the third with Emilio 107 (2680 points, previously ranked 2nd), at the fourth with Bella Rose 2 (2586 points, previously ranked 51st) and at the 11th with Don Johnson FRH (2291 points, previously ranked 8).
Germany’s Isabell Werth and Bella Rose
The FEI World Equestrian Games™ were an opportunity for several combinations to move up in the rankings, with Charlotte Dujardin (GBR) and Mount St John Freestyle moving from 10th to 6th place (2416 points), whilst Kasey Perry-Glass (USA) and Goerklintgaards Dublet jumped from the 20th to the 14th position (2267 points).
A number of other well-known combinations have soared into higher ranking positions this month, with Jessica Von Bredow-Werndl (GER) and TSF Dalera BB moving from the 53rd to 22nd position (2148 points) and Great Britain’s Carl Hester and his mount Hawtins Delicato made an enormous leap from the 130th to 23rd spot (2145 points). Hans Peter Minderhoud (NED) with Glock’s Dream Boy N.O.P. previously ranked 211th managed to get to 41st place (1891 points), and Sönke Rothenberger (GER) with Cosmo 59 jumping to 43rd place from 256th (1884 points).
As the FEI Dressage World Cup™ Western European League starts on 17 October in Herning (DEN), the list will see some dramatic changes throughout the season, as these top international Dressage riders give good chase and maintain their world ranking positions.

Powerful Tricks To Make Your YouTube Ad Campaign Unique
/ Online Advertising
It's hard to make a YouTube ad campaign stand out with hundreds of hours of videos uploaded on the platform. It would be best to have extra tricks up your sleeve to compete with successful advertisers on YouTube.
As of May 2019, there are 500 hours of video uploaded to YouTube every minute.
While this stat is a little discouraging for beginners, it proves that there's plenty of advertising opportunities on YouTube. Also, video content is quickly turning into the gold standard of digital advertising. I think 2021 is the perfect year to launch a YouTube ad campaign.
6 Effective YouTube Ad Campaign Tricks You Should Know Now
I know it can be a little overwhelming to launch a YouTube ad campaign. It's a vast battleground. But there are things you can do to be noticed by your target audience. With that said, here are six powerful tricks to create a compelling and successful YouTube ad campaign.
1. Select The Right YouTube Ad Format To Meet Your Goal
Choosing the right ad format is the place to start, especially if you're new to YouTube advertising.
Currently, there are six YouTube ad formats:
Display Ads appear to the feature video's right and above the video suggestions list for mobile devices. For larger players like desktops, this ad may appear below the player.
Overlay Ads are semi-transparent YouTube ads that pop up on the lower 20% portion of a video.
Skippable Video Ads let viewers skip ads after 5 seconds if they prefer. These YouTube ads are inserted before, during, or after the main video.
Non-skippable Video Ads must be watched before a video can be viewed. These YouTube ads can also appear before, during, or after the main video.
Bumper Ads are non-skippable video ads of up to 6 seconds max that must be watched before a video can be viewed.
Sponsored Cards show content relevant to a video, like products featured in the video. Viewers will be shown a teaser for the card for a few seconds. In the top right corner of the video, viewers can also click the icon to browse the cards.
It makes more sense to run an in-stream or discovery ad if you want to increase brand awareness with an engaging video ad.
On the other hand, it makes more sense to use sponsored cards if you want your ad to be more targeted to gain leads to your website that are genuinely interested in your offer.
I recommend experimenting with a few YouTube ad formats and compare performance. Follow the specifications by Google to ensure the dimensions and quality fit. It can also be worthwhile to invest in market research to understand the ad format to help you reach your goals.
2. Separate In-stream And Display Ads Into Different Campaigns
If you've separated Google Ads campaigns into search and display networks before, then this trick shouldn't be a problem anymore.
It's best to do the same for in-stream ads and display ads because they are very different from one another. In-stream ads play before, during, or after Youtube videos. In contrast, Display ads appear next to related videos, as part of search results, or beside other content across the Display Network.
In-stream Ads (Skippable or Non-skippable)
The bottom line is that you should have a different budget and strategy that is easier to control on the campaign level.
3. Use YouTube's Advanced Targeting Options
Advertising platforms like Facebook, Twitter, or LinkedIn have advanced targeting options that will help you pay closer attention to the people consuming your ad messages. YouTube has it too!
According to Statista, the number of YouTube viewers will amount to 1.86 billion in 2021, up from 1.47 billion in 2017.
So why waste ad money on an audience who are unlikely to be interested in your offers with the millions of YouTube videos viewers out there, right?
Here's some excellent news, YouTube allows great flexibility to take control over who sees your ads with its Audience Targeting options.
You can start with demographic targeting, then layer on affinity audiences, custom affinity audiences, and in-market audiences to target users interested in a specific topic.
For example, suppose you're selling digital marketing services in a specific location. In that case, it makes sense to advertise in that region to your typical clients' demographic. They are already interested in digital marketing.
4. Launch A Video Remarketing Campaign
Remarketing is a very effective targeting method because you target people who have already expressed interest in your brand by checking out your website.
Remarketing uses ads or follow-up emails consumers get from businesses after checking out a website but don't necessarily buy. It's an excellent strategy to pursue your site visitors with ads on other platforms like:
Websites via the Display Network.
YouTube to remarket to its viewers, of course.
For example, when a new iPhone kept showing up on your Facebook feed, you finally purchased it. Yes, that was remarketing!
The great thing about remarketing is that once you set it up and configure it, there isn't much you need to do besides tracking your campaign's effectiveness.
5. Create Emotionally-charged Video Ads That Tell Compelling Stories
You need to create high-quality Youtube video content for two main reasons:
There's a massive amount of online video content.
Users are eager to skip over and x-out of most YouTube advertisements.
A high-quality YouTube video ad does not feel like your typical advertisement, as it's not an annoyance or disturbance.
Create compelling stories that trigger emotions like a joke or prank, which includes real people to make a relatable experience that feels natural and native.
6. Use Interactive Elements In Your YouTube Ads
Here are a few elements that you can add to your YouTube ad videos to make it more interactive:
Use YouTube cards to make your videos more interactive. Cards can feature the following:
Cards are unavailable on Youtube videos set as made for kids.
Here's an example of a Youtube video card:
A call-to-action (CTA) is an interactive element that appears over a YouTube ad to help drive clicks to your website. A call-to-action appears when a video starts and then collapses into a thumbnail image after 15 seconds.
Here's a good YouTube ad call-to-action example:
The call-to-action expands when viewers hover over it on desktop browsers. At the same time, it expands when viewers tap the thumbnail image on mobile browsers.
TrueView For Action Campaigns
TrueView for action campaigns, aka "Drive conversions" in Google Ads, allow you to:
Drive sales.
Generate leads.
Boost website traffic.
You can also add a call-to-action button and an end screen to this YouTube ad element. Here's a sample:
Using this interactive element in your YouTube ad, you can encourage customers to:
Explore your product or service.
Share their contact information.
Take other actions valuable to your business.
The call-to-action element can be customized to specific use cases, like "Book now," "Sign up," or "Get a quote."
TrueView For Shopping Campaigns

Nascar Driver Spotlight: Ryan Truex, A Model of Precision, Efficiency, and Skill
If you’re one of the many Ridge Wallet owners who is also a Nascar fan, and you’ve been wondering whether that RIDGE logo on professional driver Ryan Truex’s arm might be the same one on your favorite wallet… well, your eyes are not deceiving you. Ryan Truex not only wears the tag on his arm, but he’s proud to carry his own Ridge around in his pocket, and even brags about it on Facebook.
Being a racecar driver takes precision, knowing your goals, not spending time on what doesn’t matter. That’s why Ryan Truex is the perfect representative of the central philosophy behind the Ridge Wallet, and it’s also what makes him an exceptional athlete.
From an early age, Ryan Truex knew what he wanted to do, and he set out to make it happen. Back in 2009, when he was only 17 years old — an age where most people are still figuring out what they might be good at — Truex was whipping his car around the turns, doing burnouts, and earning applause before a crowd in Dover, Delaware, where he snagged an eighth place win NASCAR Camping World Series East championship, according to the Press of Atlantic City. Of course, having the support of one’s family is a huge marker for success, and Ryan had plenty: both his brother and father were previous driving champions.
It was his rookie year, and even though Ryan had the loving support of his loved ones, he had no idea he was going to win so big, so early. Speaking to the local news, he said, "I really didn't think me as a driver would be able to do this good this quick in my career." Later that year, he scored more big wins at Watkins Glen, Thompson, and Lime Rock Park. Before he was even a legal adult, Ryan had already made himself a big name.
Driving to Victory
Succeeding at one’s goals isn’t about winning every time, though: it’s about weathering the losses, and still pushing ahead, while honing one’s skills. Ryan knew that, even at a young age, and as his driving career continued, his driving got better and better. As his career continued onward, he worked through obstacles such as having to get surgery for a wrist injury, according to NJ.com, an emergency appendectomy reported by Fox Sports, and more recently, ESPN wrote that Truex’s girlfriend was battling ovarian cancer.
Through it all, Truex continued improving his skills, and he’s gone on to regularly place in the top five at many major NASCAR championships.
Why Precision Matters
When you’re driving a racecar, persistence isn’t just a philosophy: it’s a matter of life and death. NASCAR drivers regularly reach speeds of over 200 miles per hour, way faster than the average person cruising at 70 through a 65, and they’re faced with countless distractions and obstacles. They have to make decisions at every microsecond about how to snag the lead without crashing their car.
While not having a precise wallet won’t kill you, it will make your life a lot easier.
When your wallet is overcrowded, bulky, and stuffed full of too many items, you lose precious seconds, minutes— and eventually, hours — trying to find things that should be easily accessible. By cutting back on the clutter, and embracing both minimalism and precision, you’ll be following the same example that Ryan Truex sets for all his fans. Go fast, be precise, and always pay attention.

Rules Joining The City Database Groups
North East West South
OOC Html Testing Advertising Affiliates Staff
OOC Name
The western part of the city is often home to the poorer residents. Here there is a grunginess that permeates the town from the graffiti on the once cleaned brick buildings to the broken and unmaintained architecture. Crime runs high within the western half of town, making it the home of supernatural gangs of illicit activities. Such activities are rarely reported, however, and most residents are distrustful of individual's of authorities, and often let the powerful supernatural beings sort things out amongst themselves. Be careful wandering the Western streets after the sun falls.
Cull & Pistol
Just like any city - Sacrosanct is not without it's deep, dark underbelly. Hidden in the graffiti-ridden streets of the West, behind closed warehouse doors, lies the Black Market. Forever moving, it's nearly impossible to find without knowing someone who knows someone. Anything you desire can be brought for a hefty price within the Black Market - be it drugs, weapons, or lives.
Edge of the Circle
Hidden within the dark alleyways of the Western Ward, Cull & Pistol is a dim, often smoky bar. With a small variety of bottled and craft beers, Cull & Pistol is a quaint little neighborhood joint. With its no-frills moto, the dingy bar offers little more than liquor, music from an old jukebox, and a few frequently occupied pool tables.
Bartender Raylin Chike
Resting upon the harbor, Noah's Ark (known simply as The Ark) is a sleek superyacht known both for its fight rings and recent...renovations, of sorts. Accessible from an entrance hidden in the shadows, The Ark is a veritable Were-playground that specializes in fighting tournaments for all creatures great and small. With both singles and doubles tournaments to compete in, the title of Ark Champion is hotly contested amongst the Were population. If anything illegal is going on in the city it's sure to be happening within the back rooms or behind the ring-side bar. Note: This is a Were only establishment. All other species will be swiftly escorted out.

Within the turbulent industrial district lies this club. The warehouse doesn't look like much on the outside but it provides a memorable experience from the state of the art lighting, offbeat Victorian-inspired artwork, comfortable black leather lounges, and the infamous 'black light' room. There is a wide variety of alcohol that lines the shelves of both of the magical and ordinary variety. It is a common stomping ground for the supernatural who want to let loose and dance the night away to the music that floods the establishment. Humans are most welcome if they dare.

trying to escape but I'm my only enemy
Posted on July 11, 2020 by Alistair Rosenthal
A soft snort left the newly turned Hunter's nose at the sheer idea of utilizing those fines as napkins. If what the rumors of the Ark were to be believed, it was the exact sort of place that might do just that. He could hardly help the small simper upon his features at the notion of it though, for now, he hardly pressed her on the topic of the Ark, her employer's fines, or whatever happened to those pages he had delivered. Alistair, after all, was hardly oblivious of the sarcastic facade she so employed at the very mention of the Ark, as if it's absence still bothered her enough to retreat behind her own internal walls. It was easy to let that conversation shift to their shared living space. He was, admittedly, surprised to find just how close the pair had lived to one another without their paths intersecting and yet, with her explanation, perhaps he shouldn't have been. Alistair, after all, had yet to take up the Hunter mantle, the man instead at least pretending to pick up his once mortal life to the best of his ability. His daily life still largely consisting of being away from his apartment for work before he returned later in the evening to devote himself entirely to those side art projects that crossed his fancy.
It was that very artbook that had seemingly captured Carolina's attention, her inquiry to see it was met with an almost reluctant relinquishing of the treasurer book. He watched, for several moments as Carolina inspected his drawing, though it hardly lasted long before the boy leaned back and into the sand with Carolina at his side. He hardly expected her to want the drawing. After all, it was hardly completed, much less a poor representation of what he was truly capable of. His offer to give it to her was met with a staunch refusal, her reasoning only further served to farmer the entirety of his attention towards her. The depth of her comment had caught the boy of guard and now he regarded her in an almost new light. Alistair watched as Carolina's head tilted to the side, that small simper on her lips hardly went unnoticed. She would have made a lovely portrait, at that very moment. He pushed such thoughts from his mind as his gaze turned towards the ocean in front of him, his eyes tracing the rolling waves. It was easy enough to turn her words against her. She, after all, was the only one who would truly be able to appreciate it in the way it should be. There were several moments of poised silence, his gaze slowly shifting to eye her from his periphery. Vaguely, he was aware of her gaze upon him and yet, eventually, she capitulated. "You're welcome." He uttered softly in response, letting the vibrance of his eyes turn back towards her for a brief moment.
He watched as she flipped further back into the notebook, exploring the depths of those drawings and, to a lesser extent, his mind in turn. A soft breath left his lips, though Alistair remained silent until Carolina inquired after a particular piece she'd found. He shifted to his elbows, glancing over the urbanscape quickly. Effortlessly, he identified the place, Alistair remembering much of the day that had led up to the moment inside the courtyard. His very mention of Yale, however, seemed to intrigue her, much less those degrees under his name. Her glimpse of surprise was hardly new, even if Alistair rarely spoke of his college life. A small smirk crossed his features at her idle comment of those peculiar pairings and briefly, his shoulder lifted in a vague shrug. "Yale was nice....I had some....decent classes and some were a complete waste of my time." It was like that, he was sure, with all degrees and yet that talk of college had Alistair inquiring after her own education.
He watched as she offered him a small simper though even he was aware of that small hint of...something else within the far corners of her features. There was clearly a story there, hidden behind her words but Alistair was not one terribly keen on prying. A soft chuckle left his lips, a rare glimpse of playfulness fluttering upon the man's features. "Carolina, I do think that makes us rivals." He commented lightly, referring to that age old strife between the two universities.

Rick Beasley from USA is best Belron® technician in the World
The countdown is on, the spotlight comes up – it’s showtime! Under extreme pressure and in front of more than 1,500 people including 550 customers, suppliers and colleagues, the 30 best Belron technicians competed to win the title “Best of Belron”. They represented 15,000 highly skilled Belron technicians who carry out 11.7 million vehicle glass repair and replacement jobs a year.
After months of preparation and training, the finalists had to demonstrate perfection in all aspects of their job including a back glass replacement, windscreen repair, body glass replacement and windscreen replacement. They displayed their expertise in vehicle glass repair and replacement, handling new technologies and following quality and safety standards as well as communication with their customers.
A team of judges rated the finalists, not only evaluating their performance for quality, safety and efficiency, but also ensuring fairness and transparency throughout the competition.
Gary Lubner, Belron CEO commented: “This competition is held to recognize and celebrate the excellence of our technicians and it’s so inspiring to see all these talented technicians, putting so much passion and effort into what they do. Our aim is to carry out every job with real care and each of our finalists certainly showed what this means. This event really shows what the Spirit of Belron is all about – it’s more than just repairing and replacing vehicle glass.”
After the competition, the winner was announced by Gary Lubner at a special gala ceremony. The winner received prize money equal to one year’s salary. Rick was overwhelmed: “I’m still in shock – I’ll be in shock for another three days. It’s great to
get a back-to-back win for the USA.” Leo Benz Germany came in second, while the third place went to Ryan Adams from Canada.
Alongside the competition, a conference titled ‘Driving Change’ brought together more than 550 business partners from insurance, fleet, lease and rental industries. Renowned speakers from industry and research including Lyft Inc. COO Jon McNeill, President and COO of Liberty Mutual Insurance James MacPhee and trendspotting futurologist Magnus Lindkvist, offered valuable insights into the challenges that changes in the automotive industry are bringing. Key topics included the constant evolution in vehicle safety and design, changing customer attitudes to their own mobility, and how businesses may need to innovate and change themselves to stay ahead of these developments.
Also, suppliers, partners and Belron showcased their products and services, including the latest developments in vehicle glass and automotive repair technology in a large exhibition.
More information on the competition and the conference can be found at: http://www.belron.com/ourevents/bestofbelron

German States Approve Criminal Law Targeting Dark Web Infrastructure
All Tech News > category news Workspace
Matthew Broersma, March 18, 2019, 12:09 pm

The proposal would hand prison sentences to those whose dark web platforms are used for criminal purposes
Germany’s federal states have voted in favour of a measure to extend criminal sanctions against those providing infrastructure to so-called “dark web” sites used for illegal purposes, such as selling firearms, drugs or illegal content.
The measure, which critics have called overly broad, is the latest sign of a crackdown in Europe and elsewhere on the internet’s perceived harmful social and economic effects.
In the UK, for instance, two separate Parliamentary committees have in recent weeks recommended a new regulatory framework for social media companies, in part due to the way they have been abused to spread illegal content or misinformation.
Germany’s measure is part of a broader crackdown on “dark web” sites that are used to sell contraband, including weapons such as those used in the 2016 shootings in Munich, which were purchased online.
Infrastructure crackdown
Another recent case involved the Elysium child exploitation platform, whose operators received lengthy sentences earlier this month. The operator of the platform that sold the weapons used in Munich was sentenced in December.
While some argue infrastructure providers are covered by existing laws as abettors of crimes, other authorities say tougher laws are needed.
The proposal approved on Friday was put forward by the states of North Rhine-Westphalia and Hesse, and specifically cover darknet services to which “access and availability is limited by special technical measures”.
The proposed law aims to extend liability to infrastructure providers who may have nothing to do with the use to which that infrastructure is put.
It would impose jail terms of up to three years in the case of plaforms used to distribute drugs, weapons or child-abuse material.
Bavaria called for amendments that would have broadened the rules to cover all websites, and not just the dark web, but those amendments failed in the Bundesrat, the Federal Council that represents Germany’s federal states.
Following Friday’s successful vote the measure is to pass to the Bundestag, the Federal Parliament, within the next six weeks, and if approved there it would pass into German federal law.
Human rights criticism
Critics say such measures are overly broad, saying it would apply to companies such as The New York Times or Facebook that offer their services via the Tor anonymisation network.
Networks such as Tor can be used by the likes of journalists and whistleblowers, or to bypass censorship, as well as by illegal marketplaces, critics point out.
Criminal lawyer David Schietinger told Der Spiegel that the measure would restrict human rights by effectively making it too dangerous for anyone to operate dark web services, even those intended for legitimate uses.
He argued the provision’s wording means it could apply to conventional platforms that use measures such as password protection.
“Indirectly, the new measure could have the effect of severely restricting or banning the dark web,” Schietinger said. “That’s not the point.”

Affiliation with Shape: Exhibiting artist in Adam Reynolds Memorial Bursary Shortlist 9 , Artist residence for 'Ilham' exhibition in Qatar supported by Shape. Artist Talk - Juan delGado at Shape Gallery, Westfield.
Based in London, delGado works across a range of media including installation and photography.
Since his graduation from Media Arts at the University of Westminster in 2002, he has produced an extensive body of work that explores themes of displacement, landscapes, disability and gender. It is the experiential rather than the visual which is consistently emphasised through his work.
Through his practice, delGado examines issues and themes on-site, in the location where the "narrative, the content of the project is waiting to be unfolded". The underlying theme to his work is trauma, and specifically how this is experience through violence, abuse and exclusion. The intention in delGado's work is to actively engage the audience, challenging perceptions of what they are experiencing by presenting varying elements of the work in different media that inform each other; often visual and audio.

delGado is also the creative producer of Qisetna:Talking Syria, an on-line platform initiated in 2013 to bring the voices of those internally displaced in their country, on the move crossing borders, to share their stories.
delGado's work offers the public an insight into realities of those who are often under-represented in society. His work has been supported by The British Council, Spanish Ministry of Culture, Artschools Palestine, Arts Council England, The Wellcome Trust amongst others.
His recent work Altered Landscapes is currently on tour across the UK and Internationally.

Your Ultimate Guide to LinkedIn Recruiter Cost
Recruiting is always constrained — either by money, expectations, or competition. But the chief constraint? Usually, it’s time. For most recruitment teams, it’s difficult to get everything done before the deadline, particularly when the labor pool continues to shrink, the skills gap grows, and securing top talent is similar to finding a needle in a haystack.
Social media is a perfect platform for finding potential talent. With over billions of people active on social media, recruiting there may lead to surprising talent that may be hard to find in traditional methods of recruitment. But if you want to just focus on one social media platform, it’s best to go on LinkedIn, the social media platform dedicated to professionals and businesses.
To find the best candidates efficiently, over 50 million companies worldwide use LinkedIn, and many of them rely on LinkedIn Recruiter. LinkedIn Recruiter is a platform for finding and connecting with quality candidates who are most open to hearing from you. It offers many benefits to employers, but like many good things in this world, it’s not for free.
In this article, we’ll guide you through the ins and outs of the platform, outline the cost of LinkedIn Recruiter, and answer that question at the back of your mind: is it worth it?
What is LinkedIn Recruiter?
Before we discuss LinkedIn Recruiter cost, let’s dive a bit more on what LinkedIn Recruiter is all about.
LinkedIn Recruiter is a platform that lets you find, connect with, and manage candidates. It’s equipped with advanced search filters and spotlights that help you define the talent you’re looking for, with smart suggestions such as recommended skill sets, titles, locations, and more. Its unique selling point is that it prioritizes candidates who are ready to act, including those open to hearing from you, past applicants, and contractors.
According to LinkedIn’s latest statistics, over 75% of recruiters said that they were more successful with LinkedIn Recruiter. They also yielded better results when they used LinkedIn Recruiter together with a social media recruitment automation tool.
How Much Does LinkedIn Recruiter Cost?
Of course, there’s a price to pay for faster and more efficient recruitment.
LinkedIn Recruiter cost starts at $8,999 for a year-long subscription. If you want a monthly plan, it costs $825 per month. You’ll have access to all of LinkedIn Recruiter’s features such as Premium search filters, access to full profiles of all LinkedIn members, and 150 InMail messages per month per seat holder. InMails are especially helpful if you want to reach out to LinkedIn members you’re currently not connected to.
If LinkedIn Recruiter costs too much for you, you can also opt for Recruiter Lite, which is considerably more affordable at only $2,399 per year and $119.99 per month.
What’s the difference between LinkedIn Recruiter and Recruiter Lite?
Aside from the differences in the cost of LinkedIn Recruiter and Recruiter Lite, here’s a comprehensive comparison of each recruitment tool.
About: Ideal if you need to fill your pipeline quickly or you’re consistently hiring. The powerful recruiting tool offers unlimited access to over 550 million members, allowing you to recruit candidates on an ongoing basis.
Seats: Multiple seats that share data, allowing seamless collaboration among members of the hiring team.
InMails: Each seat receives 150 InMails every month. You can message up to 25 candidates at once with personalized templates that can be saved for future use.
Search: Over 40 search filters, including candidates more likely to engage and people with similar attributes to your company’s top performers.
Reports: Jobs and InMail reporting, plus insights into your Recruiter pipeline, usage, and performance summaries.
About: Ideal if your hiring needs are limited. The lighter version helps you find, connect, and manage candidates.
Seats: Only one seat per account.
InMails: Reach out to 30 candidates every month in InMail and save your best performing templates for future use.
Search: Access to 20+ time-saving search features. You can also view full profile details for your 1st, 2nd, and 3rd degree LinkedIn connection.
Reports: See reporting for Jobs post and InMail performance.
The items listed above are the major differences between LinkedIn Recruiter and Recruiter Lite. If you want a more in-depth comparison of the tools, LinkedIn has a table that also includes Recruiter Professional Services.
Is LinkedIn Recruiter Worth the Cost?
The cost of LinkedIn Recruiter is a tad expensive, especially for smaller businesses, but is it worth the hefty price tag?
If you have multiple recruiters who need to share projects, InMails, notes, and searches, then LinkedIn Recruiter is definitely worth its cost. Being able to mass message, pipeline, and have access to private accounts is amazing for any recruiter, especially if you’re working with a team.
However, if you’re just an individual recruiter, do very little communication on LinkedIn, or you have an applicant tracking software that’s consistent, then you don’t really need to pay LinkedIn the big bucks. At most, you can subscribe to Recruiter Lite. Yes, it has its limitations but it’s a nice compromise that provides you with many benefits at a fraction of the cost of LinkedIn Recruiter.
If you need a social media recruitment guide now that you’re exploring LinkedIn Recruiter, we have one just for you.
How to Get the Most Out of LinkedIn Recruiter
Still not convinced that the platform is truly worth its price? Well, here are some tips that will help you get your money’s worth once you’ve decided to pay the cost of LinkedIn Recruiter.
Convert your company followers into new hires
Research from LinkedIn shows that 58% of people who follow your Company Page are people who are interested in working for you (the rest are current employees, past employees, or simply those who love your products and services). Your company’s followers are also 95% more likely to accept InMail messages, with 81% likely to respond.
When you run a search to hire someone for an opening in your team, filter the results to capture people who are already following your company. Message those people first because they’ll give you the biggest bang for your buck.
Bonus tip: Keep your company’s followers engaged by sharing company blog posts, recruiting events, or employee videos. You can do all these by using Recruiter’s Talent Updates.
Align your search and pipeline in one place
Have you ever caught yourself in an internal monologue when you’re searching for candidates, with the voice inside your head saying, “This isn’t working! I’ve seen the exact same person five times already. Everyone else searches better than I do.”
Don’t worry, we’ve been there. To avoid these frustrations, you can create a project in Recruiter for each position you need to fill and then search within that project for accurate results. You can seamlessly switch between your pipeline and your search (Talent Pool). With a single click, you can hide candidates who aren’t fit for the roles you need to fill and save your best candidates to the project.
Send effective InMail messages
The total LinkedIn Recruiter cost comes with 150 InMail messages, so use them to your best advantage! In terms of effective messaging, following the three B’s: be bold, be brief, be gone. The best messages are polite and conversational, but also fall under 100 words. Avoid talking about unnecessary things like your company’s history, most candidates will gloss over that. Tell them why you’re reaching out why and why they’re the perfect match for your open position.
Also, don’t forget to practice gratitude. Thank candidates for their time and ask them for an opportunity to hear about their career goals. You can share more about what’s going on in your company in future messages.
If you want more tips on how to write effective InMail messages, Hubspot has a guide to crafting InMails that will help triple your response rate.
Search for new talent based with your company’s top performers as basis
Before you promote someone, make sure you tell them to update their LinkedIn profile. Then, you can leverage that profile to find similar star performers using the Similar Profiles function.
For example, if you’re looking for a project manager, enter the profile of a project manager in your company who recently got promoted. Then, go to the Current or Past Companies Field and delete your organization. Once you’ve done that, you’ll be able to see other project managers with similar backgrounds, skills, and experiences to the person you promoted.
Use Apply Starters to double your talent pool
According to a recent study, 3 out of 4 candidates who start applying for a job never finish their application. That’s a huge pool of talent stuck at the gateway to your company.
LinkedIn Recruiter’s Apply Starter feature allows job seekers to share their LinkedIn profiles with you before they begin applying for your open positions. They only need to click on a button that says “Share your full profile with the job poster when you click apply.” This ultimately allows you to find them using the Past Applicants Spotlight.
They’re already interested, and they want to hear from you. If they haven’t finished their application, reach out to them via an InMail message.
The cost of LinkedIn Recruiter can be pricey, but once you know how to navigate the platform and make the most out of its features, it’s a handy tool that will help you attract and hire the best candidates.
We hope this article has helped you figure out if LinkedIn Recruiter’s cost is worth its weight, and if it’s a good option for your company. Whatever your decision, what’s important is that you have access to tools that will help you achieve better ROI, whether it’s LinkedIn Recruiter, a social media recruitment automation tool, or any other HR applicant tracking systems in the market.

“Economic Decisions” Driving Investments in Women’s Sports

Over the last 90 days, Barclays made the “single largest investment in British women’s sports” (a 3-year deal worth $13 million), Budweiser announced its “first-ever sponsorship of [a] women’s football” club (England’s national team) and AT&T became the 1st non-apparel company to put their logo on a WNBA uniform – evidence that “there is momentum right now around women in sport.”
Howie Long-Short: Barclays, Budweiser and AT&T are among a growing list of companies pumping dollars into women’s sports. Former WNBPA director Pam Wheeler suspects the increased interest on the brand side has to do with the increased visibility of the women’s game over the last few years (think: introduction of OTT services) – as recently as ’14 just “3.2% of all broadcast time” was dedicated to female athletics. Wheeler said “the talent level is there, so once companies start to see the skill-sets that the players have their interest in investing in them grows. It’s logical that brands want to align with elite athletes.” League exposure is about to “nearly double.” The WNBA just announced a new multi-year deal with CBS Sports that will see the cable sports network broadcast 40 regular games/season.
Brands have historically ignored female pro sports teams. In fact, GumGum found that between ’11-’13 just .04% of all sports sponsorship investments made were in women’s sports despite the barrier for entry (see: costs) being far lower. While shockingly low, the figure does make some sense – at least here in the U.S. When Wheeler first joined the WNBPA in ’98 “everybody who was aware of the league was my age or older [so , sponsors didn’t have the ability to reach the desirable 18-34 demo]. My 12-year-old daughter has never lived in a world without professional women’s basketball, so the fan demographics have become far more appealing to an advertiser.” Of course, females aren’t the only individuals who watch women’s sports; according to Nielsen, 84% of all sports fans have an interest in watching the ladies play. It does need to be noted that the number of women’s sponsorship deals has climbed +47% since ’13.
Studies have shown that girls who participate in sports are “less likely to become pregnant, have greater self-confidence and self-esteem” so there is certainly a component of these brands doing well by doing good, but while one can appreciate what female sports brings on a “social level”, Barclays, Budweiser and AT&T are in the business of generating returns for shareholders; and it’s the “big live crowds (see: attendance for female sports in U.K is +38% YoY since ‘13) and viewing figures (see: final of ’18 U.S. Open outdrew the men) [that are] feeding their [investment] interest.” Wheeler says that sponsorship pacts being signed today are being made as the result of “economic decisions, as opposed to emotional connections.” That’s an important differentiator because “in order for women’s sports to succeed, the public (think: fans, sponsors, broadcasters etc.) must recognize them as businesses that require economic support to survive.” It’s worth mentioning that female participation in sport is at an all-time high; 3.3 million girls are playing in U.S.
Fan Marino: While investments have been made in leagues and teams, brands have yet to put big money behind female athletes in team sports. However, looking at the evolution of women’s sports it’s likely that day is not far off. Wheeler believes that within the “next few years” it would be “attainable for a female basketball player to make $1 million without having to play overseas.”

The day after the end of battles in south of Syria
by Amer Al Sabaileh
Amer Al Sabaileh
Director of Security Languages - Senior political and security analyst
Toward an effective de-radicalization strategy
The fighting in the south of Syria has been expected for some time and could be the final chapter of the ongoing crisis there. Jordan continues to face multi-dimensional risks from the refugees to security risks and the danger of continuous military confrontation on its border. Moreover, it is important to realize that Russian achievement of ceasefire deal in south of Syria, has actually helped Jordan avoiding various risky scenarios
Jordan should have anticipated this situation and prepared a strategy to address and minimize these risks as it is facing the consequences and impacts of the situation in Syria alone. The refugees are not the only issue, and closing the borders may be a temporary solution, but with over 380kms of borders it is not a permanent one. The refugee crisis is not solely a humanitarian issue as chaos and lawlessness attracts criminal and terrorist groups
Jordan has many several political mistakes during this crisis, and it is important to distinguish between the military and political response. While the security implications are serious, they also cannot be managed long-term without a political solution. The passive diplomatic approach that has been taken by Jordan is extremely risky, as the future of Syria will be decided by regional and global powers, and Jordan must have a seat at the table to ensure its interests are taken into account. A clear, long-term vision, combined with political determination is the only way to engage regionally and globally in order to manage the very real risks.
Re-opening channels of dialogue with Damascus is not a luxury and must be done independently of other powers. It must be managed bilaterally in order to protect Jordan’s security and political interests as the violence and chaos is heading south towards the border and the power equilibrium has shifted to the Syrian Army. Diplomatic engagement and understanding with Syria and Russia is the key for Jordan to be able to play a role in the stabilization of the border regions..
Jordan needs a pragmatic approach in dealing with these challenges. Building alliances is not easy nor fast in this multi-dimensional, multilateral conflict. However, it is not too late for Jordan to take the necessary steps to secure its borders and play a key role in deciding the permanent solution to the conflict. The first steps for change must begin with Jordan. Those who have increased the tensions with Syria, and those who do not understand the new power balance must be dismissed. A serious revision of policy and approach is necessary in order to successfully navigate the coming challenges and opportunities.
The security and military approach cannot be criticized as it has managed to protect Jordan from the potential negative impacts from the ongoing crisis. However, in order to guarantee that security into the longer term and maintain stability in the region requires a flexible political approach that brings balance and peace to the borders while also creating new economic opportunities to build a new and prosperous future for Jordan.

Manned mission to moon: Indian-American astronaut selected by NASA
43-year-old Raja Jon Vurputoor Chari is a graduate of US Air Force Academy, Massachusetts Institute of Technology and US Naval Test Pilot School
Washington: Raja Jon Vurputoor Chari, an Indian-American US Air Force colonel, is among 18 astronauts -- half of whom are women -- who have been selected by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) for its ambitious manned mission to the moon and beyond.
The modern lunar exploration programme will first land woman and next man on the moon in 2024 and establish a sustainable human lunar presence by the end of the decade, said the American space agency. NASA on Wednesday named the 18 astronauts who will train for its Artemis moon-landing programme.
Raja Chari, 43, is a graduate of the US Air Force Academy, Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and US Naval Test Pilot School, and is the only Indian-American in the list.

— NASA Aeronautics (@NASAaero) December 10, 2020
He was selected by NASA to join the 2017 Astronaut Candidate Class. He reported for duty in August 2017 and has completed the initial astronaut candidate training is now eligible for a mission assignment. "My fellow Americans, I give you the heroes of the future who will carry us back to the Moon and beyond: the Artemis Generation," said Mike Pence, vice president at NASA's Kennedy Space Centre in Florida, on Wednesday.
Pence said in the 8th National Space Council meeting, "It really is amazing to think that the next man and the first woman on the Moon are among the names that we just read… we started today reflecting on a great hero of the past. The Artemis Generation are the heroes of American space exploration in the future."
The astronauts on the Artemis Team come from a diverse range of backgrounds, expertise and experience. Most of the astronauts in the group are in their 30s or 40s. The oldest is 55 and the youngest is 32.
NASA will announce the flight assignments for astronauts later, pulling from the Artemis Team. Additional Artemis Team members, including international partner astronauts, will join this group, as needed.
NASA administrator Jim Bridenstine thanked the President and the Vice President for their constant support towards The Artemis Generation team as well as the bipartisan support for all of NASA's science, aeronautics research, technology development and human exploration goals.
The selected astronauts will help NASA prepare for the coming Artemis missions, which begin next year working with the agency's commercial partners as they develop human landing systems, assisting in the development of training, defining hardware requirements, and consulting on technical development.
They will also engage the public and the industry on NASA's exploration plans.

Yoon Hyun Min Finds Himself In A Sticky Situation With Hwang Jung Eum’s Parents In “To All The Guys Who Loved Me”
by S. Cho
“To All the Guys Who Loved Me” has released new stills ahead of its final two episodes!
In the upcoming August 31 episode of KBS 2TV’s “To All the Guys Who Loved Me,” Hwang Ji Woo (played by Yoon Hyun Min) is on a date with Seo Hyun Joo (Hwang Jung Eum) when they find themselves in an unexpected situation.
On the previous episode of the drama, Seo Hyun Joo had discovered her feelings for Hwang Ji Woo after receiving advice from Park Do Kyum (Seo Ji Hoon). She then quickly headed to Hwang Ji Woo’s home to catch him before he left for the United States. There, Hwang Ji Woo confessed his feelings and gave Seo Hyun Joo the music box he couldn’t give her in their past life, officially continuing their romance in their current lifetime.
Despite this seemingly happy ending, the newly released stills show Hwang Ji Woo in nervous conversation with Seo Hyun Joo’s parents (played by Hwang Young Hee and Seo Hyun Chul). With Hwang Ji Woo’s folded hands, polite posture, pursed lips, and lowered gaze, the new photos raise viewers’ curiosity as to what happened between the trio to create such a tense atmosphere. Questions also arise regarding what kind of impact this situation might have on his blossoming relationship with Seo Hyun Joo.
To find out the answers to these questions, catch the next episode of “To All the Guys Who Loved Me,” which airs on August 31 at 9:30 p.m. KST!
In the meantime, watch last week’s episode below:

Reading for Blue Magnetic Storm
Blue Storm is your Conscious Self - who you are and who you are becoming. Blue Storm is the initiation by fire, the lightning path, the arrival of the thunderbeings who bring the final transformation. To the Maya, Blue Storm represents the storm, the thundercloud full of purifying rain, and the lightning that shatters any false structuring of reality. Blue Storm is the purification of the 'body temple' and the ignition of the light body. In these last years of a twenty-six-thousand-year Mayan grand cycle, Blue Storm comes to help you in the disintegration process that moves you from separation to ascension. This initiation by fire breaks any false containers of self that cannot withstand the flame of transmutation. Only your true identity will live through these fires, for you will be reborn in the heart of All That Is.
Blue Storm provides the water that purifies and quenches your spiritual thirst. In this state of consciousness, you stand willing to surrender everything. You give up what you seem to be in order to become fully what you are. You step into the fires of the unknown, and you are changed forever.
Allow Blue Storm's storm to purify and cleanse you.
Blue Storm catalyzes and prepares your nervous system and circuitry for complete transformation. It is the electromagnetic storm of transmutation, the clearing and quickening of your physical, mental, emotional, and etheric bodies. As you become aligned with the descending energies, and evolve in consciousness, you body's vibration is raised, becoming less 'dense'. Your new alignment ignites the quickening process that transmutes the shadows of the past, including experiences, judgements, thoughtforms, and old patterns that have held you back.
As you move into this new vibration, you may feel off balance. In this transformational shift, you will feel unusual quickenings on every level of your being. You will sense emotional and physical 'imbalances' and restructuring. Your issues will be catalyzed and brought out for you to address. By being present with your old patterns you have a unique opportunity to access the energy of Blue Storm, which is experienced as an inner transformational 'storm', a natural part of the process of vibrational shift and quickening.
Whether you are experiencing these changes consciously or unconsicously, the vibrational change is adjusting your energy pattern to accomodate the flow of the language of light. These new frequencies feed you on every level of your being. As your transformation progresses, you quickly become aware of the unconscious material you still need to process. No longer can you escape the effects of your belief systems. Fears and negative images can all be felt very quickly. The transformation is experienced as if it were happening 'from the inside out'. Things seem to 'cook' inside you.
Remember that you have chosen to take part in this rebirth, both on a planetary and a personal level - the planetary dream, the miracle on Earth, is what brought you here! You are becoming the living model of the new reality. As an emissary of the great change, you are a transformer of the collective myth. Riding the crest of the wave, you are travelling both outward and inward on your journey home - for yourself and for all those who will follow after you.
A simple catalyst for this catapulting force is the integration of duality within. The personal integration of shadow is what will create the miracle! Personal shadow is simply that which is separated from the full light of consciousness. By integrating shadow, you are freed from delusions of right or wrong, good and evil. Shadow provides an opportunity for you to bring in all of your expanded essence.
Consciousness is a structural metaphor that is calling for transformation. As your consciousness becomes crystallized, narrow, and complex, it invites the process of dissipaton to 'unravel' and break it free. As you travel the spiral vortex of light, expanding into ever-widening realms of truth, your crystallized energy breaks down and trasncends form. This process can be very intense, but if you embrace it, you can be transformed into a freed adventurer - a divine actor who can play any part without becoming attached to it.
Blue Storm is also your Higher Self & Guide. (you are guided by your own power doubled)The harmonic wisdom embodied in Cauac is freedom, which can be defined as the state of being unconstrained by fate, karma, necessity, or circumstances in one's choices or actions. Freedom is an open reality wherein you know that you are at choice every moment. This state of being originates from an innate perception of reality. It is the understanding that you are an 'actor', free to play any part at any moment without being attached to it. You work with your life's 'scripts', your attachments and perceptions, in order to free them. From this perspective comes the fullest freedom: learning to live in natural harmony and union with divine will.
In music, this concept is expressed by the term 'a piacere', which means "at the pleasure of the performer." As a divine actor aligned with divine will, you are free at any moment to dance the dance of ecstasy.
The musical descriptor of this harmonic is senza, meaning 'without measure.' This refers to a composition that has the feeling of freedom. Since all limitations and separation are illusory, freedom is without measure.
White Wind is your Subconscious Self and Hidden Helper.White Wind is the galactic wind, the catalyzing current, the Spirit that moves through all things. It is the divine breath that gives life to all creation, the unseen essence of solar energy. White Wind is the breath of inspiration, the fertilizing force of the wind. Its essence is the movement of Spirit as it penetrates into form to enliven, purify and inspire.
Receive the gift of White Wind by simply taking a conscious breath. Amidst the seemign complexity, beathe consciously. Allow your life to be more like the wind, free-flowing and open to Spirit.
Red Moon represents your Challenge and Gift. With maturity and awareness this challenge will turn into a Focus. This is what you desire to learn in this lifetime.One shadow of Red Moon is the tendency to float in the river of forgetfulness, feeling separate from clear awareness and guidance. Due to the influence of the collective trance, you may have unthinkingly accepted the beliefs and values of your culture. Because of the illusion of separation from the Divine, this trance may have deepened your experience of forgetting. Another shadow aspect of Red Moon is the tendency to direct your life primarily on the desires and needs of your ego instead of opening to the guidance of your Essence Self. Choices at your "growth edge" may feel unsure, for they transform your beliefs on your journey toward wholeness. Your intuitive guidance and internal proddings will trigger remembrance of what seems to have been forgotten. Pay attention to any sensory signs, any guidance that gives you strong feelings. In the larger pattern of cosmic communication that is available in each moment, these signs are painted everywhere. Be the translator-beacon. Let Red Moon awaken the interpreter within you who decodes such signs. Let Red Moon assist you in clearly understanding your perceptions.Remembrance is a natural process. Use it naturally, without becoming obsessed with it. Being overly concerned with remembrance can actually hamper your process. Also be aware of any tendency to look to others for information about your remembrance. As fellow journeyers, we catalyze each other; however, you are the one who truly knows. Don't get lost or confused by looking outside yourself.Another shadow of Red Moon is self-deprecation. In this shadow you may feel like hiding your light so that it limits you from being seen as the beacon you truly are. This tendency can stem from your shy or wounded inner child, whose sensitivity may have been suppressed thorugh life experiences. This may create a desire to withdraw or feelings of aloneness and insecurity. On the other side of this shadow, you may be overidentified with being the beacon for others. Such issues show you what is between you and the clear expression of all that you are.Self-criticism may be supported by internal self-talk, which brings to awareness the negative self-judgements that have been separated unconsciously into shadow. You have picked up your internal critic from the judgements of a critical world. Red Moon invites you to heal the inner critic. Take the blinders off. Make a conscious effort to reframe self-talk that is self-diminishing. Be aware of your response to the judgemental and critical remarks of others. Allow relationships with others to support your fullest expression. As you stand in your own light, you will naturally fulfill that which you came here to do.
Yellow Sun is your Compliment - something that comes naturally to you. "I Am that I Am...I Am that I Am...I Am that I Am." This mantra of Yellow Sun is a meditation for accessing the I Am presence that contains great power and universal truth. Yellow Sun is the mystery unveiled, the simplicity of unconditional love and limitless bliss. Known by many names, Yellow Sun is the Solar Lord, the Mind of Light, the Center that is also your center. Yellow Sun is your solar home, the Great Central Sun.
Yellow Sun is a reminder that you are, at every moment, in the center of All That Is. In your journey of remembrance, you are crafting a light body to return to a home in the stars that you never really left. Return as a child of the sacred to the Great Central Sun! You are the crown of creation, infused with the blueprint of solar mind. You are a Godseed, the reflection of cosmic consciousness. You are love made visible!
Discover the simple secret encoded in Yellow Sun's star-glyph: you are unconditional love, the stone of indestructible liberation. Radiate that knowing in all your thoughts and actions. Love all of creation. Join the dance of light, the fundamental constant of nature, and shine forth the clarity of your true essence. There is great power in simply identifying with the light:"As above, so below." You are in God, and God is in you.
As you express unconditional love, you become more than you previously perceived yourself to be. You become illumined, the full manifestation of your divinity. In the embrace of your humanity, accept yourself and others unconditionally. Magnify your full presence. Yellow Sun will come in myriad forms to assist you. Be limitless. Accept and understand the nature of judgement, fear, light and dark within yourself and others. Love and accept yourself and others as you are, freed from previous boundaries. You are the dawning of the solar age.As you move toward your core of light, you will find a clear-light awareness that is innately innocent. In this place, the mind is restored to it's original state of receptivity. Clarity and freedom become expressions of being, and bliss becomes the body. At this core of light, a new reality is born. From the union of the divine masculine and feminine is birthed the solar androgyny of cosmic consciousness.
Now we find ourselves in a great awakening. We have the opportunity to retrace our steps, to return to union with Original Cause. We who have deepened the illusion of seperation are now poised to retrieve what seemed to be lost forever. Through the gift of rebirth and ascension, we are reclaiming our original state of union with God. We are going home.
The process of rebirth and ascension can be viewed simply as the raising of the vibratory rate of the Earth and her children. It is embodied in the state of consciousness that knows the self as divine. The circlet, or crown, is a symbol of recognizing and knowing that divine self. So the crown as a sacred tool is a universal symbol of the completion of a circle of self-empowerment and self-authority. Full ascension is the freedom to take your physical form with you to other planes and dimensions. In preparation for the ascension, there is an opening and clearing of your light seals and chakras. If you choose to walk this path, know that in the embodiment of your "I Am" self, you will learn to accept all things unconditionally, forgiving and releasing all judgements of yourself and others. The activation of solar mind and ascension is already in progress. In divine fusion, you are becoming the one body of the ascension.Open your heart as a flower to the Sun, and become the same love that holds universes together!
Your Tone is Tone 1 - MagneticUnconditional love, the one heart, indivisible essence, core vibration, new beginnings, chalice of the infinite, All That Is.One is the ray of unity with self and Source. Call forth the resonance of your true vibration. Feel the pulse of this ecstatic frequency of the One. You are being offered profound awakenings and the exquisite radiance of unconditional love. This is a time of new beginnings in your life. Be active in your individual expression, committed to the growth of your Essence Self.
You contain the paradox of the "separate" self and unity with the One. You are simultaneously the primal point of beginning and the crowing culmination. You are the initiator. You are the one who opens the way. You may feel alone or separated from Source. If so, stand in the unity of your Essence Self and focus on the reality of the one heart. You are the wisdom you seek!

Childhood illnesses app
about latest health news
Parents and carers can now find advice at their fingertips on common childhood illnesses.
Healthcare professionals in Washington have developed an app aimed at people looking after young children, as well as those about to become parents.
It gives easy-to-understand guidance on common ailments affecting children, as well as advice on when and where to seek further treatment.
The app, which is also available as a 64-page booklet, has been created by the Washington Locality in association with NHS Sunderland Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG).
Download the CCG Common Childhood Illnesses booklet
Jackie Russell, practice manager at Rickleton Medical Centre in Washington, said: “We know that when you are caring for children, especially babies and the very young, you can feel apprehensive when your children become ill.
“You may worry that you do not have the knowledge or skills to deal with the situation, making the correct diagnosis and providing the right treatment. This new app, and the booklet, will give you the confidence to identify the problem and the correct response to make your child better quickly.”
Dr Ian Pattison, Clinical Chair at Sunderland CCG, added: “This is a great app which deals with all common childhood illnesses, and more serious ones, and tells you how you can prevent accidents as well as handle them should they happen.
“It is written in a clear and easy-to-understand style and should be the first place you look for help if your child becomes unwell.
“It can also help you if you are wondering whether or not you need to take your child to your GP, pharmacist or A&E department.
“The majority of common childhood illnesses can safely be dealt with at home but occasionally you may need to get professional help. The app and booklet will tell where you should go for the quickest and best help for your child.”
All parents with children under the age of five can get a copy of the booklet from their GP surgery, health visitor, nursery, walk-in centre or A&E department.

May commits the UK to a future way beyond the EU and no one knows what it means
Posted on September 1 2016
Theresa May has made clear that immigration control is the redline in the UK's negotiation with the EU. She might as well say there is no negotiation to be had: we know the EU is not going to offer a deal of any consequence that does not involve free movement of people.
And we also now know that despite the enormous significance of this decision that she has no intention of consulting parliament on it. With a contempt for the opinion of MPs of which Charles I would have been proud she has declared that thus is an issue on which she can decide alone.
First, it means there is no meaningful negotiation position left with the EU. I feel sorry for all those civil servants being tasked with futile discussions.
Second, the UK really will be outside the single market; it is hard to see any other option.
Third, the rest of the UK's politicians needs to catch up with this reality and quickly. Jeremy Corbyn may well be delighted with this outcome, but we have no clue how he would deal with it, whilst other parties now need to embrace the new certainty and also make clear where they stand.
Nowhere is this more important than in Scotland and Northern Ireland.
But it also means that the LibDems have a role again as the only likely pro EU party other than the Greens in England.
Whikst the role of a fractured UKIP is hard to discern.
The tectonic plates of UK politics are being rewritten extraordinarily rapidly without almost an iota of ideology, let alone a plan, underpinning the change. To describe this situation as dangerous is to serioyaly underestimate the risk, not least because just when we most needed an opposition that's the last thing we will have.
Some serious thinking on how the UK will survive this situation is needed, quickly. I am not too sure how many are even engaging with it though.
September 1 2016 at 9:34 am
Richard, this negotiation has disaster written all over it.
In a normal negotiation the worst outcome (from a sensible rational perspective) is known and appreciated by both parties. This forces the negotiation towards a sensible compromise that avoids the worst case scenario becoming reality. However in this case it seems that the two sides disagree hugely on what the worst outcome is. The worst outcome for the EU is clearly a soft deal on immigration that stokes the exit flames in other countries. For the EU the UK outside the single market looks a price worth paying to quash any support to leave in other member states. The worst sensible rational deal for the UK is clearly anything that gives limited single market access. But worryingly, for the those in the cabinet in charge of Brexit (particularly Liam Fox and David Davis) a hard Brexit is an attractive and maybe the most attractive option. Lack of single market access is seen as a price worth paying for full border control.
The pathway of the negotiation seems clear. The EU refuses to offer the single market without free movement of labour in the belief that the UK will not be so stupid as to opt to leave the single market. The UK refuses to back down on its claim for single market access without free movement of labour in the belief that the EU will not be so stupid as to see one of its major members leave. The result is the worst case scenario and we are heading towards a hard Brexit.
Your conclusion is spot on
sickoftaxdodgers says:
September 1 2016 at 10:02 am
That seems very likely. Economically, this will be a disaster, seeing how much foreign investment into the UK came about through the UK’s membership of the EU. So it would appear that, as with the referendum decision itself, dishonesty and stupidity are the order of the day. I wonder what all those Leave voters promised the earth by the liars of the Leave campaign are going to feel when the car manufacturers leave, and thousands of finance jobs go?
But again, I am totally unsurprised. after all, didn’t May herself say, a long time ago, that the Tory party risked being seen as ‘the nasty, stupid party’?
Ivan Horrocks says:
And meanwhile we have Trump promising to deport ‘millions’ within hours of taking office – if he ever does, of course.
But yes, you’re bang on the nail, Richard. I saw the news and then watched the dire “debate” on this on C4 News all the time wondering what the likes of Nissan, Toyota, Honda, and Mini (BMW), who located here because of access to the single market, might be thinking now their business model is about to be wasted. And there are many, many more companies in the same position of course. Will we now see some clear signs from them of their future intent now that we know the ‘in the single market but not in the EU (or EEA)’ option (which was never a real option anyway) is now well and truly dead?
I think the phoney war may be over soon Ivan
And the result may be uncomfortable
Mike Parr says:
“immigration control is the redline in the UK’s negotiation” “Northern Ireland”
Last time I looked NI shared a common border with Ireland. I’m interested to see how they “square the circle” on this one. Why would the Irish be interested in closing the border? Would we see go-getting Irishmen conveying refugees (this is what it is all about) from the east coast of Ireland to the English/Scottish Mainland. Nobody has thought this through.
“Lack of single market access is seen as a price worth paying for full border control” – given the above (& what happens if/when Scotland exits the UK?) “full border control” is impossible under any circumstances.
What you will end up with is (possibly) NI exit from UK, Scotland exit UK – common and porous border with England – hard Brexit and still no resolution to the “immigration problem”
Look at what David Davies said back in the 1990s, him and Fox inhabit la la land wrt the EU. If you want to cock-up go to labour, if you want a 24 carat disaster – use the Tories – they deliver every time – like the burbons – forgotten nothing – know nothing.
PSR says:
I am absolutely convinced that the Tories do not know what they are doing.
I am also convinced that many of them are so comfortable as to be unconcerned anyway.
Simon C says:
September 1 2016 at 12:07 pm
Imagine two different scenarios.
1: May is determined to make Brexit happen.
2. May realises taking us out of the EU would likely send us into recession and break up the UK which could quite possibly be the end of her career and so she wants to try and stay in the EU.
In these two scenarios, what course of action would she take? The answer for both scenarios is that she would say and do pretty much exactly what she has so far said and done.
If she really does secretly want us to stay in, then she has to give the appearance of really going for it, otherwise the right of her party would make life very difficult for her. If she really does want to stay in, then she might possibly have to use even stronger rhetoric in support of leaving than if she actually did want to leave – “the lady doth protest too much”
First Article 50 was going to be triggered the day after the referendum. Then in September when a new PM was announced. Then not before the end of the year. And so on … ?
So I’m not paying too much attention to what May says, and I’m still not convinced we are going to leave the EU.
September 1 2016 at 2:37 pm
The supposedly “single” market UK will be leaving has not yet been fully realised. Free movement of labour? – up to a point but all countries’ vocational qualifications and licences to practise aren’t yet recognised in all the others (and language proficiency will always be an obstacle), social-security coverage varies…; of goods? – up to a point but non-tariff distortions persist (eg some countries levy a car-tax, VAT rates differ…); of services? not by a long chalk AFAIK (and VAT again); of capital? – I’ve no idea.
The EU’s tariff-barrier will of course increase the price of British imports into the EU all other factors remainining equal. But will they? At least as important is the exchange-rate prevailing over any given period. Since the Brexit vote the £ has depreciated by c. 10% against the €, which augurs well for the competitivity of British export-prices longer-term.
Face it:- we’re going to be leaving, without retaining any special access to EU markets not available to non-EU countries in general. that being so it behoves UK to look for where gains are available to be made from our new situation (and I don’t mean becoming a tax-haven!), and begin availing ourselves of them energetically asap.
Since our imports will from now on be dearer, among the things urgently needing to be looked-at is where import substitution might be the way to go – requiring investment in new plant of course (while generating employment and possibly – who knows – new export opportunities).
Old Codger says:
I think I have said this before but when I was in HM Customs and Excise and the Single Market rules came in in 1993 a whole lot of forms and Customs declarations disappeared – is business really going to be happy for that to be reversed ? In the latter part of my career it was striking how many of the companies I dealt with were the UK subsidiaries of EU businesses, the proportion of truly British owned companies was much smaller, and if those EU businesses decide the UK is no longer worth maintaining a presence in then the consequences for employment could be significant
I agree with all that
And the problem is so few have real experience of these issues
MayP says:
It is interesting that John Redwood thinks that we could give assurances to EU citizens living here and then say no to more EU immigration. And then also say we don’t want anything to change. We’d remain EU members but for that.
http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b07qbcb6
about 17 minutes in.
That certainly keeps it simple! It puts the ball in the EU court to negotiate with the UK rather than the other way round.
It also suggests that immigration is the real reason for his Brexit.
And it also seems to support the idea that Britain has been a Euroland safety valve as the ‘recipient’ of its impoverishment and subsequent emigration.
John Redwood has lived in a land made of his own dreams for many years
His dreams do not come true

EAT allows swimmers to be as competitive as they choose. We encourage competition because it helps swimmers set and achieve goals and encourages team unity. However, it is not mandatory to attend meets. On average, we would like all team members to compete once every three or four weeks. You may also choose to enter only one day of a two day meet.
To participate in swim meets you must be a member of USA Swimming and your account with EAT must be in good standing.
All meets are announced thru our team email system about a month in advance. Each email will include meet information, such as, date, time, location, deadlines and directions on how to register for the meet. If you have questions regarding what events to sign up for, ask your coach. Parents are responsible for registering their swimmers by the deadline. All registration is completed on the team website atwww.eagleaquaticteam.org.
Parents are expected to accompany their swimmer to swim meets and be prepared to volunteer. This usually requires a small range of jobs from selling concessions, gathering and sorting timer slips, and timers. There isn’t much expertise/training needed for any of these assignments although they are very important.
Types of swim meets include:
1. Mini Meets: Usually for swimmers 10 and under. Quick pace meet in which 25 and 50 yard/meter events are contested.
2. Dual Meets: Occasionally, EAT will compete with one other team in a dual meet. These are short meets due to less swimmers signing up so the number of events a swimmer may enter may be limited.
3. Developmental Meets: Each swimmer is usually allowed to enter from 3-5 events per day. They can be two day events. No Times (NT’s) are allowed, meaning that there is not a required qualifying time for that event, all swimmers are allowed to swim.
4. Invitational Meets: These meets have some type of qualification time standard(s) that a swimmer must meet in order to enter the meet. These meets typically have a limited number of teams that are invited to participate in the meet and usually last 2-3 days.
5. State Championships: At the end of each short course (winter) and long course (summer) season, a State Championship meet is sanctioned by Utah Swimming, the governing body of swimming in the state of Utah. Utah swimming sets the qualifying time standards for these championships. Generally, the standards fall between the national "A" and "AA" time standards. There are two championships held each season: the Age Group Championship for swimmers 14-Under and the Senior Championship open to any swimmer in the state who has met the qualifying standards regardless of age.
6. Zone Championships: After the state championships are held in the summer, a swimmer may qualify to participate in the Western Zone Championships by swimming a national "AAA" time. This is an all-star meet where swimmers compete as a member of the Utah Zone team competing against other states from the West. This meet requires traveling out of state.
7. Speedo/USS Junior National Championships: One of the highest levels of achievement EAT swimmers strive for is the participation in the Junior National Championships. United States Swimming sponsors an eastern United States Junior National meet and a western United States Junior National meet each season. This meet requires travellng out of state.

The Research Paper Factory
Free Essay
Submitted By arraco13
Science is the concerted human effort to understand, or to understand better, the history of the natural world and how the natural world works, with observable physical evidence as the basis of that understanding1. It is done through observation of natural phenomena, and/or through experimentation that tries to simulate natural processes under controlled conditions. (There are, of course, more definitions of science.)
Consider some examples. An ecologist observing the territorial behaviors of bluebirds and a geologist examining the distribution of fossils in an outcrop are both scientists making observations in order to find patterns in natural phenomena. They just do it outdoors and thus entertain the general public with their behavior. An astrophysicist photographing distant galaxies and a climatologist sifting data from weather balloons similarly are also scientists making observations, but in more discrete settings.
The examples above are observational science, but there is also experimental science. A chemist observing the rates of one chemical reaction at a variety of temperatures and a nuclear physicist recording the results of bombardment of a particular kind of matter with neutrons are both scientists performing experiments to see what consistent patterns emerge. A biologist observing the reaction of a particular tissue to various stimulants is likewise experimenting to find patterns of behavior. These folks usually do their work in labs and wear impressive white lab coats, which seems to mean they make more money too.
The critical commonality is that all these people are making and recording observations of nature, or of simulations of nature, in order to learn more about how nature, in the broadest sense, works. We'll see below that one of their main goals is to show that old ideas (the ideas of scientists a century ago or perhaps just a year ago) are wrong and that, instead, new ideas may better explain nature.

...The word 'science' is derived from the Latin word 'scientia' which means knowledge. Therefore, science is about gaining knowledge either through observing, studying, experience, or practice. Entire knowledge acquired through science is about discovering truths, finding facts, uncovering phenomenon hidden by the nature. Observations and experimentation, in science, support in describing truth and realities through systematic processes and procedures. For me, science is an intellectual set of activities designed to uncover information about anything related to this world in which we live. The information gathered is organized through scientific methods to form eloquent patterns. In my opinion the primary objective of science is to gather information and to distinguish the order found between facts. What Science Means to Me as an Upcoming Scientist Science exposes several ideas along with significant themes so that I could test them independently and without any bias to arrive at solid conclusion. For this purpose exchange of data and materials is necessary. I am able to generate real and tangible facts supported by reliable evidence. Work of scientist is based on theoretical science. It means, in theoretical science, there is only a sign, just a hint on which discoveries could be made, facts could be found. While studying science I am always working for determining truth, based on my perceptions, judgment, observation, experience, and knowledge collected through several means...

...Chapter 132 - Science and Technology Section SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY Science and technology provide people with the knowledge and tools to understand and address many of the challenges. Students must be provided with opportunities to access, understand, and evaluate current information and tools related to science and technology if they are to be ready to live in a 21st century global society. The study of science and technology includes both processes and bodies of knowledge. Scientific processes are the ways scientists investigate and communicate about the natural world. The scientific body of knowledge includes concepts, principles, facts, laws, and theories about the way the world around us works. Technology includes the technological design process and the body of knowledge related to the study of tools and the effect of technology on society. Science and technology merge in the pursuit of knowledge and solutions to problems that require the application of scientific understanding and product design. Solving technological problems demands scientific knowledge while modern technologies make it possible to discover new scientific knowledge. In a world shaped by science and technology, it is important for students to learn how science and technology connect with the demands of society and the knowledge of all content areas. It is equally important that students are provided with learning experiences that integrate tools, knowledge, and processes of science and......

The Importance Of Science In Science
...Our project specifically focused on the DNA sequence analysis of the genes in duckweed and how those genes fit into bioremediation. As an intimidated and shy freshman with a strong yearning to be part of the science community at my school, decided to join the intensive program with barely any knowledge about biology. It didn't seem like a smart move at the time, but I'm glad that I had persistence because I learned so much about the field through the guidance from the team. Exploring PCR and Restriction Digests, my group and I were able to publish new proteins on the national GenBank. I learned more about biology and how to work/perform in a team. This motivated me to join the Science/Biology Olympiads where we do independent research and come together as a team to compete. I found that these opportunities along with the research in my science classes not only help me learn actual science but provide me with valuable life skills that will help in the...
...1. Describe how fishing has changed at Apo Island, and the direct and indirect effects on people’s lives. Apo Island’s marine preserve allows fishing with hand-held lines, bamboo traps, large mesh nets, spear fishing without SCUBA gear, and hand netting. Fishing with dynamite, cyanide, trawling, and Muro-ami are forbidden. This has increased fish populations and made it easier to catch the fish needed to support a family. The healthy reef community now attracts ecotourists and provides jobs for islanders. 2. What are some basic assumptions of science? 3. Distinguish between a hypothesis and a theory. A hypothesis is the second step from the scientific method that forms an educated guess based off an observation. A theory is the information that was gathered to support the proof of an observation and confirms the hypothesis. 4. Describe the steps in the scientific method. 7. What’s the first step in critical thinking? The first step in critical thinking is 8. Distinguish between utilitarian conservation and biocentric preservation. Name two environmental leaders associated with each of these philosophies. Biocentric preservation emphasizes the fundamental right of living organisms to exist and to pursue their own good. While utilitarian conservation emphasized that resources should be used for the greater good for the greatest number for the longest time. Two environmental leaders associated with the biocentric preservation philosophy are John......
...Blueprint to address Australia’s lack of science strategy unveiled Chief scientist makes series of recommendations to improve the country’s skills in science, technology, engineering and maths Australia’s chief scientist, Ian Chubb, has unveiled a blueprint to address Australia’s lack of a science strategy, with proposals aimed at improving skills, supporting research and linking scientific work to other countries. Chubb has made a series of recommendations to the federal government to increase focus on science, technology, engineering and maths skills. The strategy is partially aimed at addressing the declining number of students taking advanced maths in year 11 and 12, as well as the shortage of qualified maths and science teachers. Chubb said each primary school should have at least one specialist maths and science teacher, a policy currently used in South Australia and Victoria. This would be encouraged by improving incentives, including pay, for teachers. Other recommendations include supporting research potential, improving research collaboration with other countries and doing more to stress the importance of science to businesses and students. Chubb said: “We are the only OECD country without a science or technology strategy. Other countries have realised that such an approach is essential to remaining competitive in a world reliant on science and science-trained people. “Science is infrastructure and it is critical to our future. We must align our scientific......
...Science: A Blessing Or A Curse Everything in the universe has its uses and abuses. The same applies to science. Science has revolutionized human existence and has made it happier and more comfortable. Modern science has many wonders. Electricity is one of its greatest wonders. It is a source of energy. It can run any type of machinery. With the help of electricity, we can light our rooms, run buses and trains and machinery, lift water for irrigation and can accomplish a multitude of other tasks. Much of the progress that mankind has made in different fields right from the stone age to the modern age is due to the progress made in the filed of science. Not only material progress but also the mental outlook of man has been influenced by it. Agriculture, business, transport, communication and medicine to name a few are all highly indebted to the wonders of science. We have become scientifically much more advanced than our ancestors. This is because the world has undergone a tremendous change because of the rapid strides made by science and technology. The discovery and development of a large number of powerful energy sources – coal, petroleum, natural gas, electricity etc. – have enabled humanity to conquer the barriers of nature. All these have facilitated the growth of fast modes of transport and communication, which have metamorphosed the world into a global village. Science has given man the means of travelling to the moon. Science is a great help in the agricultural......
...Blessing of Science Blessings of science are numerous. Science has completely changed the living style of man. Now man is living in a totally 18 century. From home to office, from farm to factory, form village to town, in short everywhere in life now we can see the unlimited blessing of science. At home, we find that science has provided many comforts to the human beings. Whether it is kitchen, lounge, shaker, chopper, toaster and many other appliance have brought a revolution in the working of a kitchen and a housewife. Although it is a fact that science can not fight with fate and it often fails to defeat nature yet it has done a lot to minimize the disastrous effects of nature. Scientists have invented such machines like air conditioner and heater that can give comfort to the man in hot summers and in extreme winters respectively. Now there are such instruments, which can warn man against floods, earthquakes and windstorm. After getting such warnings human beings are able to take preventive measures. Travelling and transportation were very difficult and paining in the past but now the miracles of science have made the travelling a luxury. Now there are variety of means of transportation like buses, cars, trains and aero-planes that have decreased the distances and have made the journey a comfort. Now hundreds of people can travel from own country to the other country in one train or in one aero-plane. The distance that could be covered by the people in the months...
...Advantage Science gives us safe food, free from harmful bacteria, in clean containers or hygienic tins. It also teaches us to eat properly, indicating a diet balanced in protein and carbohydrate and containing vitamins. The results is freedom from disease and prolonged life. In pre-scientific days, food was monotonous and sometimes dangerous; today it is safe and varied. It is varied because through improved sea, land and air transport food can now be freely imported and exported. Science has also improved clothing and made it more appropriate for climatic and working conditions. Man-made fibers and versatile spinning machines, today enable us to dress in clothes both comfortable and smart without being expensive. Home, school and office all bear witness to the progress and application of science. Nowadays, most homes possess electric lighting and cooking, but many also have washing machines, vacuum cleaners and kitchen appliances, all designed to increase comfort and cleanliness and reduce drudgery. Science produces the fan which cools the air, the machinery which makes the furniture and fabrics, and hundred and one other features for good living. The books and papers are at school, and again everything from the piece of chalk to the closed-circuit television of instruction are the direct or indirect results of scientific progress. Learning is therefore easier. And clerical work is made far more speedy and efficient by the office typewriter, quite apart from the hundreds......
...One of the major shortcomings of science supposedly is a lack of communication between scientists and the general public. Many argue that too often, science is only presented in written academic journals that are not so easily obtained by the general public. This is discussed on a daily basis and was argued in the aftermath of the 2011 earthquake and tsunami in Japan, as well as in on-going debate about other scientific theories and ideas. However, people fail to realize a few things. One of the major things is that, in terms of an earthquake or tsunami, you simply cannot predict anything like that. You cannot blame scientists for not being able to predict an earthquake like a meteorologist can predict weather events. Scientists can study things like seismic activity and they can make assumptions as to what may happen should an earthquake of a high magnitude hit and cause something catastrophic like a tsunami. Yet, some fail to realize that some safety measures were taken, and even inspectors that visited the Fukushima Nuclear power plant asked Japanese authorities to increase safety measures further. According to a France24 news article written three months after the catastrophe, “A three-page summary was issued at the end of the 18-member team’s May 24-June 2 inspector mission to Japan. It said the country underestimated the threat from tsunamis to the Fukushima plant and urged sweeping changes to its regulatory system. Japanese authorities have been criticised......
...SCIENCE My second month in Gusa Regional Science High School! Do you want to know what are the activities and what have I learn this month? As we all know this month is “Nutrition Month,” so I am excited what are the activities that would be held in celebrating the nutrition month. Come! and let us know what happened this July. On the first day of July we answer our wortext. We answer page 17, 1-5 in ½ lengthwise. The next day we had a contest about the scientist. We were gouped into two groups, group a and group b. Group a scored 27 while group b scored 31. Group b win with the score of 31, while group a lose with the score of 27. Group a’s punishment is they have to dance. The boys did it but the girls pleaded that they will just sing rather than dance. Teacher Cass agreed, and in the middle of singing “Nasayo Na Ang Lahat,”Teacher Cass gestured to the boys to join the girls singing. The boys didn’t insist in joining the girls. On Thursday, the rain was falling hard so teacher Cass is the one who come to us. We were trapped in Teacher Lory’s classroom. We had another game same us what we did yesterday. This time its boys vs girls. The girls won the game and as expected boys got a punishment. Their punishment was they did a fashion show. ......
...In this essay I will focus on the events surrounding the regulation of Alar (diaminozide) up to and including 1985, as a case-study of knowledge and decision-making amidst uncertainty (418-19). I pick this time period in particular, because it is when the NRDC and other public interest groups began their campaign in protest against the EPA's decision to not ban Alar. My analysis of the events surrounding Alar will take shape around a critique of Michael Fumento's article "Environmental Hysteria: The Alar Scare," in which he paints the NRDC as "fanatics" launching a "smear campaign" not founded in any rational decision-making. This is an important argument to counter, because it has not only been taken up by many to condemn citizen-group action in the case of Alar, but to criticize their activities in many other regulatory processes. The chief framework used to devalue public action in these cases is the technocratic model, wherein it is believed that decisions can be best made by objective, rational experts acting based upon scientific knowledge. In this case, we can see a perfect example of when a decision was decided by scientific experts, in accordance with the technocratic model. Fumento and other supporters of the technocratic mode privilege the scientific knowledge of bodies such as the Scientific Advisory Panel in this case over other forms of knowledge. He denounces NRDC as fanatics based on his claim that they acted in spite of, and in contradiction to......
...Scientific papers are for sharing your own original research work with other scientists or for reviewing the research conducted by others. As such, they are critical to the evolution of modern science, in which the work of one scientist builds upon that of others. To reach their goal, papers must aim to inform, not impress. They must be highly readable — that is, clear, accurate, and concise. They are more likely to be cited by other scientists if they are helpful rather than cryptic or self-centered. Scientific papers typically have two audiences: first, the referees, who help the journal editor decide whether a paper is suitable for publication; and second, the journal readers themselves, who may be more or less knowledgeable about the topic addressed in the paper. To be accepted by referees and cited by readers, papers must do more than simply present a chronological account of the research work. Rather, they must convince their audience that the research presented is important, valid, and relevant to other scientists in the same field. To this end, they must emphasize both the motivation for the work and the outcome of it, and they must include just enough evidence to establish the validity of this outcome. Papers that report experimental work are often structured chronologically in five sections: first, Introduction; then Materials and Methods, Results, and Discussion (together, these three sections make up the paper's body); and finally, Conclusion. The......

People along a swath of southern Asia gazed at the sky in marvel on Thursday at a “ring of fire” solar eclipse.
The so-called annular eclipse, in which a thin outer ring of the sun is still visible, could be seen along a path stretching from India and Pakistan to Thailand and Indonesia.
Authorities in Indonesia provided telescopes and hundreds of special glasses to protect viewers’ eyes. Thousands of people gazed at the sky and cheered and clapped as the sun transformed into a dark orb for more than two minutes, briefly plunging the sky into darkness. Hundreds of others prayed at nearby mosques.
“How amazing to see the ring of fire when the sun disappeared slowly,” said Firman Syahrizal, a resident of Sinabang in Indonesia’s Banda Aceh province who witnessed the eclipse with his family.
The previous annular solar eclipse in February 2017 was also visible over a slice of Indonesia.

New collection table linen Mae Engelgeer x by TextielMuseum
To commemorate the 100th anniversary of Bauhaus, the TextielMuseum is proud to announce a new collaboration with textile designer Mae Engelgeer. Inspired by the museum’s own collection and the Bauhaus movement, she created a modern table linen collection woven on digital looms in the TextielLab. Made for the by TextielMuseum label, the collection features an interplay of strong, graphic lines in subtle colours, woven in a rich structure and is available from 19 October.

Inspired by Bauhaus
One hundred years after the Bauhaus was founded, the modern design principles of the legendary institute remain a source of inspiration for many artists, designers and architects. Mae Engelgeer’s collection is called ERA, as a tribute to the current centenary Bauhaus. The collection consists of a tablecloth in different sizes, a table runner and napkins. The Bauhaus influence can clearly be seen in the tablecloth’s graphic pattern and use of colour, as well as in the innovative yarns and variation in bindings.
The ERA collection consists of tablecloths in three sizes: 160 x 380 cm (€213,-), 160 x 300 cm (€135,-) and 160 x 160 cm (€99,-), a table runner measuring 160 x 60 cm (€45,-) and napkins 38 x 38 cm in two different designs (€13,50 per napkin). The tablecloths, table runner and napkins will be available in the museum’s TextielShop, via by.textielmuseum.nl and in international museum-, design- and interior shops. During the Dutch Design Week 2019, the new table linen collection will be available at the Piet Hein Eek shop.
Modern translation
Mae Engelgeer translated classic Bauhaus principles into a contemporary product, using her own signature palette, contrasting harmonious colour combinations with bright accents. Reflecting Mae’s personal style as well as characteristic Bauhaus textiles is a refined use of lustrous materials, giving rise to subtle lines in the design. While the Bauhaus weaving department was known for incorporating new, glossy yarns such as copper and cellophane, Mae worked with a combination of viscose and polyester, creating a subtle sheen in her ERA table linen.
The design- and production process in the TextielLab
The table linen also features a wide array of structures. This is achieved by incorporating multiple bindings in a single textile, which is technically very challenging.
“I’ve experimented and developed new designs in the TextielLab for years, and in this commission, I wanted to push the boundaries of what a loom can do”
– Mae Engelgeer about the design process in the TextielLab
Designing textiles is Dutch designer Mae Engelgeer’s primary focus. She studied at the Amsterdam Fashion Institute and the Sandberg Institute, before going on to start her own studio in 2013. Working from her fascination with craftsmanship, she explores the possibilities of modern machinery, translating traditional techniques into contemporary textiles. In addition to her own collections, Mae has also worked with international brands such as cc-tapis, Kvadrat, FEST Amsterdam and Auping.
The production process in the TextielLab
by TextielMuseum
As a label, by TextielMuseum brings the rich collection of the museum and the expertise of the TextielLab together in a unique way. With over 100 years of art and design heritage, the museum collection is an important source of inspiration. The development and production of products for the label take place in the TextielLab. Every year, the TextielMuseum invites top designers such as Viktor&Rolf, Scholten & Baijings, Hella Jongerius and Studio Job to create new products for the label. by TextielMuseum products are now available worldwide via museum and design stores.

MWC 2019 Preview: All the New Phones, 5G and More
By Daniel Bean 22 February 2019
Mobile World Congress gets underway Feb. 25 in Barcelona. Here's a look at all the new smartphones coming from LG, Huawei, OnePlus, Nokia and others.
Editors' Note: Updated Feb. 22 with additional information on what to expect for Mobile World Congress.
The end of February always brings a shakeup to the smartphone landscape as Mobile World Congress, the mobile industry’s biggest trade show, introduces us to the latest devices that will capture our attention — at least until the flurry of fall flagship phone news.

And this year’s edition of MWC, which gets underway Monday (Feb. 25) in Barcelona, figures to offer even more phones than usual.
Not only can we expect the usual parade of flagship and midtier mobile devices that always make their debut at MWC, but phone makers have more surprises in store this time around. Folding phones, which have been in development for years, are finally starting to get real, and Mobile World Congress could introduce us to some brand new foldables.
Then there’s 5G. The next-generation networking standard arrives this year, and MWC should give carriers a platform to tell the world more about their launch plans. Meanwhile device makers may let us know when we can expect phones that are compatible with 5G networks and their faster speeds.
MORE: 5G Phones: News and Release Dates
One of the bigger phone releases this month happened before MWC even got underway. Samsung unveiled its Galaxy S10 lineup this week, which included a 5G version of the S10 due out later this spring. Samsung also showed off the Galaxy Fold, a folding phone that's due out at the end of April
(Image credit: Galaxy S10 (Credit: Tom's Guide))
Even with Samsung getting all that news out of the way before MWC, the trade show promises to have a packed agenda, with plenty of phone launches slated for the weekend. Here’s a full rundown of what we expect to see come out of MWC 2019.
LG G8 and LG V50
Like Samsung, LG has often used MWC to unveil its latest G series flagship Android phone. This year looks to be the same and then some, with the Korean phone maker set to host a Feb. 24 press event in Barcelona the day before the mobile show officially gets underway. And LG apparently has multiple phones up its sleeve, with the LG G8 ThinQ and LG V50 ThinQ leading the way MWC.
According to leaks and rumors, the G8 will look a lot like the G7 ThinQ and carry the same 6.1-inch, top-notched screen. LG has already confirmed that the new phone will feature a 3D camera up front, possibly adding a face unlock feature similar to what iPhone users enjoy, and that the phone's screen will double as an audio amplifier. In addition, LG has teased that gesture controls are coming to the G8.
(Image credit: Evan Blass/@evleaks)
As for the V50, the latest edition to LG’s premium line would be arriving ahead of schedule if it shows up in Barcelona — the V40 just came out in October. But LG could speed up the release to flaunt the V50’s 5G capabilities in partnership with Sprint. LG has already promised a phone that’s powered by the Snapdragon 855, uses a Vapor Chamber cooling system and packs a 4,000 mAh battery.
A foldable-screen phone from LG was thought to be in the cards for MWC, but LG president Kwon Bong-seok said in a Korea Times story that it's too early to come out with a folding phone; instead, LG is putting its efforts into 5G devices. In advance of MWC, LG also announced a trio of midrange and budget phones that it will show off in Barcelona.
When: Sunday, Feb. 24; 7:30 p.m. CET/1:30 p.m. ET/10:30 a.m. PT
Huawei's First 5G Phone and Foldable Phone?
MWC might be overloaded with the potential for foldable phone and 5G phone news, but Huawei could still make a splash by covering both categories in one device.
The Chinese phone maker previously announced that it will have a 5G smartphone to show off in Barcelona, and teases since on social media have pointed to that same handset featuring a foldable screen. That’s all we know so far, but that’s enough info to pique interest.
As for whether Huawei will announce the much anticipated P30 Pro, a good old-fashioned flat-screened Android smartphone, don't expect an MWC debut. Huawei has set a March 26 date for that phone's launch in Paris.
When: Sunday, Feb. 24; 2 p.m. CET/8 a.m. ET/5 a.m. PT
Microsoft HoloLens 2
Microsoft may be out of the business of making phones, but it’s still planning on attending Mobile World Congress this year. And augmented reality could be a big reason why.
Microsoft is holding a press event of its own on Feb. 24, where it’s widely expected that the company will show off HoloLens 2, the successor to its mixed reality headset. The new version, which Microsoft has hinted at in a teaser video, is expected to be lighter, offer a wider field of view and cost less than the current HoloLens. This week, Microsoft announced plans to bring HoloLens apps to iOS and Android phones.
When: Sunday, Feb. 24; 5 p.m. CET/11 a.m. ET/8 a.m. PT
The Nokia brand, now managed by HMD Global, was active at last year’s MWC, when we saw five mild-mannered Android and non-Android handsets of varying price and feature ranges. In 2019, however, the one-time king of cell phones is looking to make a bigger splash in Barcelona with the likely unveiling of the oft-leaked and five-lensed Nokia 9 PureView at a Feb. 24 press conference.

What can a camera with that many lenses do? Leaked info on the 9 PureView says it will be able to simultaneously capture 10 pictures of varying light intake and use software to merge them together to create super rich and dynamic snaps. The phone will also reportedly have an in-screen fingerprint reader, 6GB of RAM and 128GB of storage. But if its camera can take pictures that look as good as its rumored circle of five lenses look weird, then that’s the only feature anyone will be concerned with.
Xiaomi already unveiled the Mi 9 earlier this week in China. But we expect to hear more about the Chinese phone maker's global launch plans for the $450 phone, which is highlighted by a Snapdragon 855 chipset, three rear camera setup and 6.39-inch Full HD+ display. (Sadly, those plans are unlikely to include a U.S. launch date, as Xiaomi has yet to bring any of its phones to this country.)

Rumors about Xiaomi's MWC presence include the possibility of a 5G version of its Mi Mix 3 phone. But what we'd really like to see is more of the foldable device that Xiaomi's been teasing online.
When: Sunday, Feb. 24; 10:30 a.m. CET/4:30 a.m. ET/1:30 a.m. PT
Oppo 10x Zoom Phone
Chinese smartphone company Oppo has been teasing its “lossless” 10X zoom smartphone camera technology for a bit. At a Feb. 23 pre-MWC event in Barcelona, the company has promised to show more details of the system, which apparently uses a combination of lenses (a type of optical zoom) to punch in without all the pixelation that comes with the digital zoom most smartphones rely on today.
When: Saturday, Feb. 23; 2 p.m. CET/8 a.m. ET/5 a.m. PT
OnePlus 5G Phone
OnePlus had made no secret that it’s working on a 5G phone. And though there’s no large-scale OnePlus press event slated for MWC, OnePlus is hosting a smaller get-together, where it's apparently going to show off a prototype of the device. That may be the only way U.S. phone shoppers see the 5G phone from OnePlus for a while — CEO Pete Lau says the phone will launch in the U.K. and Finland first.
When: Tuesday, Feb. 26; 8 p.m. CET/2 p.m. ET/11 a.m. PT
Sony holds its MWC press conference on Feb. 25, the opening day for the trade show. Early leaks indicated that the very wide-screened Xperia XZ4 Android phone could be the headliner at Sony’s event, though now, that phone may be going by a different name — the Xperia 1.
The phone’s purported super tall and narrow 21:9 screen is an aspect ratio that’s never before been tried on a smartphone, so it’ll be interesting to see what that feature will be ideal for, besides watching ultra widescreen movies. It's certainly a change from the blocky phones that have come to be associated with Sony over the years.
When: Monday, Feb. 25; 8:30 a.m. CET/2:30 a.m. ET/11:30 p.m PT (Feb. 24)
A week after unveiling a new 5G modem that's going to power 5G devices released in late 2019, Qualcomm will arrive in Barcelona ready to talk up the new networking standard. The chip maker, which builds the processors and modems you're likely to find in many 5G-ready phones, laptops and other devices, plans to showcase real-world use cases for 5G at its Mobile World Congress booth.
Sprint is hosting an event on Monday, Feb. 25 which will include an update of its 5G plans. And we wouldn't be surprised if other U.S. carriers make 5G announcements around the same time to get their own efforts in the headlines.

Office 365 User Adoption Podcast Episode 3 – Cornerstone Academy Trust
SharePoint, Class Notebook and Teams forms the foundation for curriculum delivery at The Cornerstone Academy Trust.
Hearing stories about how other schools and academies are thriving with Office 365 and SharePoint is a great way to feel inspired.
Our new podcast series focuses on real-life user adoption cases and aims to encourage a community resource for those who are interested in how Microsoft can help you, and your pupils, achieve more.
In our third episode, Tony Phillips, Cloud Design Box Founder and Darren Hemming, our Operations Manager, spoke with Jonathan Bishop, CEO of The Cornerstone Academy Trust.
The headteacher – who has been teaching for the past 25 years – offers some real insight into the way Office 365 and SharePoint can be embraced in and outside of the classroom.
“Office 365, SharePoint and – in particular – Class Notebook, has had a huge impact on our Trust. OneNote totally underpins our lesson planning, teaching and student engagement – before, during and after lessons,” Jonathan enthuses.
“It’s the one fundamental tool in Office 365 that supports our whole curriculum delivery.”
The Cornerstone Academy Trust is a multi-academy trust that currently covers Broadclyst Community Primary School, Westclyst Community Primary School and The Cornerstone Teaching School.
Supporting children from the age of two through to 11, the Trust places technology firmly at the helm of the school ethos.
“We have invested in a number of Surface Pro tablets so that our students can access learning resources from wherever they are in the school or at home,” he tells us.
Jonathan describes one typical use of OneNote in the classroom:
“Teachers write on the whiteboard in digital ink, and this immediately syncs to the pupils’ tablets. This content is then used during smaller, targeted group sessions. And, when they get home, students seamlessly pick up what they were doing during the day, further strengthening their learning.”
All learning resources are available at the child’s fingertips, while teachers can work together and prepare valuable learning materials for students.
“We’ve worked with Cloud Design Box to configure each Class Notebook into different zones: one for teacher content, a collaborative zone for on-going projects and a personal area for each child.”
Permissions and roles can be set with ease for each resource. For example, teacher content is read-only and cannot be edited by pupils, while personal pupil areas can only be accessed by the individual and their teacher.
“Parents can also view the content to see what their children are up to in school, whether this is tracking progress or watching a video of their nursery-aged child learn about butterflies.”
More recently, Cloud Design Box has worked with the Trust to integrate Class Notebook with the communications tool Microsoft Teams.
“Teams has built on the strong system we already had in place. It’s added an extra layer of support to our teaching and learning,” Jonathan reveals.
“The ability to chat about work in targeted groups enhances the learner experience and combines the structure of individual assignments with a collaborative team-driven approach – similar to how adults would in the office.”
In fact, Jonathan is very passionate about how digital tools like SharePoint and Office 365 equip pupils with the skills needed for future employment.
Currently, there is a debate about whether or not we are losing traditional skills, such as handwriting and literacy, but Jonathan argues that tablets and technology are complementing education.
“We don’t think of technology as replacing traditional skills, we think of it as allowing a pupil to gain new, 21st century skills that they’ll use in the workplace.”
Some final takeaways from Jonathan:
Digital is enhancing the classroom.
SharePoint is a solid foundation for curriculum delivery.
Collaboration tools empower students to develop skills for their futures.

Sales Increase of 12 Per Cent for Cranswick
Research and innovation Markets Processing Company/Products
9 April 2014, at 7:27am
UK - Underlying sales for Cranswick have increased by 12 per cent in the year ended 31 March 2014.
Total sales for the year were 13 per cent higher after taking into account the contribution from acquisitions. Strong growth was seen across most product categories, particularly fresh pork, bacon and cooked meats.
Pastry sales also continue to grow strongly following the successful launch of several new product ranges during the year. Export sales were well ahead of the levels reported in the previous financial year, reflecting robust demand for pork products in Far Eastern markets.
The Group invested in excess of £20 million in its infrastructure during the year ended 31 March 2014, allowing it to further improve operational efficiencies and to launch new product ranges. The Group’s new gourmet pastry facility at Malton, North Yorkshire, was successfully commissioned earlier in the financial year, albeit with higher than anticipated start-up costs and work is ongoing on the extension to the Milton Keynes cooked meats facility which will add substantial capacity and deliver further efficiency gains.
As previously reported, the record input prices seen during the year impacted operating margins. Despite some recovery as the year progressed, operating margins will, as expected, be slightly below those achieved in the previous financial year.
Notwithstanding the significant capital investment programme and the acquisition of the pig breeding and rearing activities earlier in the year, strong cash generation from operating activities through the final quarter will result in year-end net debt being substantially lower than at the end of quarter three and below the level reported at the last financial year end.
The Group recently extended the term and increased the size of its banking facility, leaving the business in a sound financial position, with committed, unsecured facilities of £120 million which provide generous headroom through to July 2018.
With experienced management at all levels of the Group, a strong range of products, a well invested asset base and a robust financial position, the Board remains confident in the continued long term success and development of the business.
New nursery, new generation grows family farm
Hoffman/Drake Farms began raising weaned pigs on the home farm in 2000 with the construction of two 2,000-head nurseries. This year another nursery and another generation to the family operation was added, EMH Farms.

Posted: February 9, 2018 Filed Under: In a nutshell
It may take an elephantine dose of healthy scepticism to banish the feeling that this essay by the political King of Spin on the topic of Winners is merely a pachyderm-sized ego promotion but there are some key learning points for school leaders in this top seller.
So, too busy to read all of this…
Then read this…
Weighing in at 520 pages and containing a plethora of anecdotal tips from too many to count Winners’ tucked away in the folds and creases of 20 chapters under a grey outer skin made the jumbo analogy an easy one. However, it is not always a ponderous journey and the structure and style does enable the less patient to learn and benefit from a random ‘pick and go’ reading strategy.
The main gist of Campbell’s work, as it says on the tin, is to identify the traits and qualities from the real life stories of winners across the worlds of sport and business. Including, as you would expect from Tony Blair’s communication guru, a fair number of ‘inside’ stories from his political experience.
There may be few “OMG, really?” moments from the vast number of celebrity insights. A quick check of the index startlingly suggests that winners need to be bold, innovative, data-hungry with the right mindset, a clear strategy and the ability to turn setback into advantage (resilience). No way! And some of the ‘lessons’ from the success stories are unsurprisingly banal. Winners work hard apparently, they hate losing, never give up and according to the last line, simply win because they have to but, for this reader there were two important learning points and one big idea essential for all school leaders.
The first comes from the opening section on the ‘Holy Trinity’ of Strategy, Leadership and Teamship with a useful clarity on the differences between Objectives, Strategy and Tactics.
Objectives are the definition of your success – for Dave Brailsford and Team Sky this was to be the first British team to win the Tour de France. Strategy is a succinct statement of how you will achieve your target. For Apple it was quite simply, simplification which Campbell argues as the ultimate in sophisticated strategy and responsible for putting design above engineering that revolutionised the way we look at computers forever. For Sir Clive Woodward and England’s rugby team it was ‘excellence in everything’ that was the driving force for world cup glory in 2003.
But it is essential to avoid confusing this with Tactics which are a series of related actions needed to deliver the Strategy. Here Campbell uses the three time electoral success of the Blair machine to highlight the differences.
Objective: Win
Strategy: New Labour, New Britain
Tactics: Anything and everything that showed the Labour Party had changed including sticking to spending limits, new approach to business and unions etc
Irrespective of your political colour it is difficult not to admire the clarity and brevity of thinking that enabled the consequent ease of communication and understanding. A useful framework for a school improvement strategy?
There are some good quotes on Leadership: “A leader never stops learning, never stops teaching, and never stops looking to the future” (Clinton) though Campbell doesn’t really provide any real analysis of substance here. It is a kind of ‘spray and pray’ approach, hoping that something will land with the reader though there are better ideas following under Teamship (once you get past the indulgent reference to his beloved Burnley FC!)
Brailsford’s thinking on dealing with the energy sappers is certainly one that will chime with many school leaders. He cites the Donald Tosti model, a four quadrant matrix of High/Low Energy v Attitude with a clear, succinct and in some cases, brutal set of tactics for people assigned to each one of the four boxes.
Positive attitude and high energy is where you want people to be through recruitment, management and/or coaching. However find someone in the positive attitude + low energy, labelled a spectator and it is “FIFO” time but unlike Team Sky you are strongly advised by this reader to check in with your HR provider first.
The more enlightened leader will see it as a development model and if there are too many staff in the spectator box or alternatively acting as cynics (high energy + negative attitude) then surely the first tactic for a winning leader should be an honest review of own leadership and communication style.
However, for this reader there are two further learning points.
Firstly, the power in the leader in finding the way to the right question at the right time to find the right solution for success. 2002 and Sir Clive Woodward was struggling to understand why the England rugby team started each game on fire but, despite intense conditioning programmes came out sluggishly for the second half.
Consulting with a top international coach, who knew nothing of rugby Sir Clive was stunned at the question that came back after talking him through the half-time team-talk. “Why don’t they put on new shirts? It might help them to think like they do at the start of the match”
Simple solution arrived at from consulting a top, external’ coach who knew nothing of the sport or the context and the rest, as they say is history with world cup glory a year later.
But it is in the penultimate chapter around the British monarchy as the surprising but enduring winner that the really important messages emerge.
What is it, he muses that enabled a deeply conservative institution to not only survive its ‘annus horribilis’ but go still further to reinvent itself and win the hearts and minds of generations globally?
The starting point, it seems was the key appointment of the business supremo, David Airlie as Lord Chamberlain to overhaul and rebrand the royal household in 1983 bringing a clear sense of purpose within a far more efficient business model. Critically though the strategy was underpinned by reference to long established core values: identity; continuity; recognition of achievement and service.
And this is an important learning point for school leaders to take away.
Whatever the challenge and no matter how tough the times are, always ensure that what you do in every facet of leadership can be referenced back to your core school values. These are the touchstones that define who and what you are and it is not just about how children/young people behave inside the school gates.
However, the one big inspirational idea is almost a throwaway right at the end and seems to have been largely missed by Campbell. An unnamed courtier of King Juan Carlos is credited with recognising the “communism of humanity” in the Queen’s branding. The way that the monarchy reaches out to all stakeholders whatever their race, nationality or beliefs, capturing their aspirations, hopes and fears and bringing them together in a stunning, flag waving, happy experience of loyal connectivity.
And surely it is this that makes the British monarchy the “business school case study in the management technique of rebooting” (Tristram Hunt) and the most important learning point for all school leaders. Going beyond values and bringing people together, giving a sense of belonging and mutually supporting each other without judgement to contribute collectively and individually towards one long term vision and purpose. A common journey.
Now, if Campbell had spent more of the 520 pages on this theme his book for this reader would have been much more of a … well, winner!
Can you describe your objective and strategy for school improvement in clear, simple and brief words?
How do you ensure your core school values underpin everything you do in your school/academy?
How do you reach out and engage with all your stakeholders to ensure a common sense of one clear, connecting vision that enables everyone to make an active, positive contribution to a successful school/academy?

Something is stirring down on Dundee waterfront
Thursday November 09 2017, 12.01am, The Times
The V&A Museum of Design, Dundee is due to open next year, on land jutting out into the River Tay
TIMES PHOTOGRAPHER JAMES GLOSSOP
Kengo Kuma’s remarkable V&A building juts into the silvery Tay as a totem of the self-confidence and regeneration of modern Dundee. Yet the birth of the V&A project, seen initially by some as implausible, tells an important story — of a resilient, self-reliant and often bloody-minded city.
In the spring of 2007 Sir Alan Langlands, principal of the University of Dundee, hosted a dinner. One guest was Mark Jones, director of the V&A in London, who had been visiting Duncan of Jordanstone art college to view its work.
Over dinner, the conversation turned to the role of culture and design in regeneration, and how Frank Gehry’s Guggenheim had transformed Bilbao. Jones was passionate about the subject and listened carefully as Mike Galloway, the local council’s

11 Coolest Products at CES 2017 (Photos)
From laser 4K TVs to an internet-connected shower, the Consumer Electronics Show remains the premier showcase for tech innovation
Matt Pressberg | January 5, 2017 @ 6:32 PM Last Updated: January 6, 2017 @ 1:52 PM
CES, the international tech extravaganza in Las Vegas, is when many of the world's leading manufacturers debut some of their most futuristic products. This year was no different. Check out some of the coolest products from this year's show:
Hisense 4K Laser Cast TVThis smart TV from an fast-growing Chinese manufacturer (which now owns the Sharp brand) features laser projector technology with a robust 2,700 lumens that make it viewable in bright daytime light. The 75 inch model costs $13,000.
Bosch MykieMykie, a voice-operated personal assistant for the kitchen, can inform home cooks just how much longer the roast needs in the oven and if they have all the right ingredients in their (connected) fridge.
Lenovo Phab 2 ProThis augmented reality smartphone, powered by Google's Tango technology, can overlay information and objects when looking through the camera. No need to use your imagination to see if a piece of furniture is a good fit in the living room.
Samsung FlexWash and FlexDryThe South Korean conglomerate's new home laundry system combines two washers or dryers in one appliance, allowing people to wash a pair of jeans in cold water and sheets in hot water at the same time.
NVIDIA ShieldNVIDIA's newest set-top box combines pay-TV, over-the-top streaming services and a 4K video game experience in one device. Users can watch Netflix, play pre-loaded games on the cloud, and even cast PC games to the TV for a much better picture. Oh yeah, the Shield has a built-in Google Assistant that can easily search through content and control a smart home. It is available now for $199.
EvapolarThis portable water-evaporation air conditioner, about the size of a small subwoofer, packs a serious punch that blows away what an electric fan can do. It was backed on crowdfunding platform Indiegogo.
Moen U shower systemThis smart shower connects to an app via wi-fi and allows home bathing enthusiasts to program up to 12 different settings. It also lets you know when the water's hot enough through the app. But its best feature may be the ability to pause the hot water to step out and take a phone call -- and stay that temperature when it's started up again.
Foldimate
FoldimateThe Israeli-made device (which isn't for sale yet) automatically folds laundry into perfect rectangles. Enough said.
PlayDate This smart pet toy is a ball with a two-way video and audio interaction, which allows dog and cat owners to see and talk to their furry friends through an app. It also allows users to move the ball around the room through directional controls in the app, giving the family's most loved member active playtime when his best friend is half a world away. PlayDate was also funded on Indiegogo.
Sony UBP-X800The Japanese conglomerate always makes a splash at CES, and Sony rolled out a suite of shiny new products this year. The most interesting might be its mass-market Ultra HD Blu-ray player with 4K support, which brings a ridiculously sharp picture to home consumers. Pricing hasn't been announced yet.
LG Gram 14 LG continues to develop its line of smart appliances, unveiling new models with a door that becomes transparent with a tap, to avoid the energy-wasting fridge inventory checks. But its new laptop -- which weighs a little more than 2 pounds and has a 21-hour battery life -- might be its most exciting product this year.

Westerville council poised to support 'refugee resettlement' within city
OLIVIA MINNIER THISWEEKNEWS.COM @ThisWeekOlivia
Westerville City Council is expected to vote on a resolution Jan. 7 to support refugee resettlement in the city.
City Manager David Collinsworth said the resolution is a “fairly recent development” based on a presidential executive order President Donald Trump issued in September that provides an opportunity for communities to opt in or out or express concern about refugee resettlement in their area.
“If you are willing to accept refugee resettlement in your community, you need to take some sort of action,” Collinsworth said.
He said if council approves the resolution, it would be sent to the federal government to register that Westerville supports resettlement.
“If we didn’t pass it (the resolution supporting resettlement), the general assumption would be that we don’t,” he said.
Collinsworth said Franklin County has adopted a resolution in support of refugee resettlement.
This action does not require any further involvement or action by the city, according to a staff report connected with the legislation, nor would any city resources be utilized in the enactment of this provision.
The council meeting will be held at 7 p.m. in council chambers, 21 S. State St.

Military Academies in the United States offer an excellent option for students who are interested in serving their country and receiving a quality education at no cost. Students at these institutions typically receive free tuition, room, and board as well as a small stipend for expenses. All five of the undergraduate military academies have selective admissions, and all require at least five years of service upon graduation. These schools are not for everyone, but those with a desire to serve their country will receive an excellent education for free.
United States Air Force Academy - USAFA

The Thrive Approach is grounded in current scientific developments in neuroscience.
Recent advances in neuroscience have informed our understanding of the brain and nervous system, and how these develop during childhood and adolescence.
The Thrive Approach uses the latest insights to focus on the impact these changes can have on behaviour, the opportunities these developments offer to help young people engage with life and learning, and how it is never too late to help make a difference.
The field of neuroscience has undergone rapid advances in recent years, prompted by significant innovations in brain imaging.
These have yielded important insights about how the brain and nervous system function and develop. In particular, scientists have discovered that the neural pathways of the brain and wider nervous system are relatively unformed at birth, undergoing much of their development during the first three years of life in response to relational experiences with primary care-givers.
A key development during this period is the establishment of the body’s stress-regulation system. This lays the foundation for our social and emotional development throughout life, affecting our capacity to relate, love, learn and manage stress in healthy ways.
Research has also revealed the inherent ‘plasticity’ of the brain – its capacity to forge new neuronal connections in response to experience. The fact that the brain retains this property to a greater or lesser degree throughout life means that where brain development has been less than optimal, it remains possible to intervene at a later stage to fill the gaps.
In the Thrive Approach we build on these insights to offer a way of working with children and young people that supports the optimal development of their brains and nervous systems. Furthermore, where the nature of children’s early experiences mean that they have not developed a good enough stress-regulation system and therefore find it difficult to relate or learn, we offer a structured way to provide the missing relational experiences in order to rewire their neural circuitry for more effective functioning.
Neuroscience sheds light on important questions about who we are, how we develop and how we learn.
The findings of neuroscience have significant implications for education, social care and healthcare professionals working with children and young people.
Neuroscience has highlighted the opportunities for professionals to help children and young people overcome adverse experiences and trauma.
Thrive’s approach to understanding and working with children’s social and emotional development has evolved in accordance with current findings in neuroscience.
The Thrive Approach continues to develop as more information becomes available.
While it is important to understand the model behind The Thrive Approach, what really matters is the impact that it can have in practice for the development of an individual child or young person.

Season Pass says no upcoming programmes - but there are!

I had a season pass for "Who Do You Think You Are?" which has been there since the first series.
However it didn't pick up the new series which started this week. It said there were no upcoming programmes, despite it being on the same time, same channel and same day as the first series.
Does anyone know what went wrong? THe other season passes appear to be working okay.

This sounds like it could be an orphaned SP. Basically, instead of using the existing TMSID and thus an existing SP would work, they've given it a new one.
You should report this to Tivo CS and in the Errors Thread.

An Exquisite Holiday Meal in Three Acts
Emblematic Veuve Clicquot champagnes star in holiday celebrations thanks to the passion of Cellar Master Didier Mariotti and the creativity of Chef Jean Imbert. In the appropriately idyllic setting of the Manoir de Verzy in the heart of the Veuve Clicquot estate, the two audacious talents shared their attachment to terroir, savoir-faire, and creativity to conceive a wonderfully festive holiday meal.
Didier Mariotti and Jean Imbert create a sumptuous dialogue between their respective Champagne and Brittany regions in a holiday meal conceived around two emblematic Veuve Clicquot cuvées. To pair with Yellow Label – “the spirit of the Maison” – the chef imagined a scallop carpaccio with citrus and Ponzu sauce. The Chef de Cave was delighted with the match: “This cuvée is full of freshness and has a silky texture that goes perfectly with the sensation of the scallops in your mouth and the energy brought by the citrus.” An ideal first course to awaken the guests’ palates.
For the main course, Jean Imbert drew inspiration from “lobster à l’Américaine” one of his favorite recipes for birthday celebrations. The lobster is flambéed with cognac, simmered in white wine, garnished with squash and carrots, and served with Veuve Clicquot Brut Rosé. This exceptional champagne – which is “tasted first with the eyes”, smiles Didier Mariotti – is especially emblematic since Madame Clicquot herself invented the first blended rosé. Sumptuous and gourmand, it reveals its exquisite subtleties “thanks to the iodine-rich aromas of the lobster,” the Cellar Master adds. Chef Jean Imbert is equally enthusiastic about how the champagne pairs with “the grilled notes of the vegetables”.
Last but not least, the roasted apple flambéed with rhum, cinnamon cream, and crêpes underlines how the elegant simplicity of champagne goes wonderfully with irresistible desserts. Veuve Clicquot Rosé, says Didier Mariotti, is an ideal pairing for this great dessert for winter evenings thanks to its “aromas of red fruit and spices”. The video of this convivial encounter of joyful holiday spirit and shared savoir-faire is posted on the Veuve Clicquot website. The recipes for these haute-cuisine pairings that are easy to make for small groups are also available on the Veuve Clicquot website.

We're in the Endgame Now by Chongwoo Kim
Dread it... run from it... destiny still arrives. The culmination of all 21 MCU movies (12 weeks of TRIP sessions), we have finally reached the endgame (final symposium).
I came into this program expecting to work in an intense lab, administered by intimidating directors, and working with awkward peers. Instead, I found myself hanging out in a thrilling playground, guided by caring mentors, and making genuine friends. Here’s a little synopsis of what went down during the past 12 weeks.
The first six weeks of the program was the typical get to know each other, learn about the basics of flies and the lab, all that basic stuff. Even up to this point I was thinking to myself, “shoot, did I really just drag myself into an extra day of school on a Saturday.” My performance status was extremely poor, handing in assignments at the last minute without a genuine desire to learn. This took quite a bit of a dramatic shift with the start of my independent project. I came across a topic that was very personal and intriguing to me: the vaping epidemic.
When I say that this topic is personal, I mean that I am concerned for the many friends of mine who actively participate in such “badass” activity that supposedly makes them look cool. Since the common defense for “juuling,” as kids my age like to call it, is that it is not actually harmful to the body, I wanted to test how then the nicotine might influence the brain and its tendency to make impulsive decisions.
It took me quite a while to find a way to do this because there wasn’t an assay that we had in our “techniques packet” that specifically measured impulsivity. Enduring the many failures of ideas that I thought would work, I was able to design a new assay that could measure impulsivity. It involved putting a fly in a dark space with a strong light coming down on the middle where an attractant is placed. Normally, the fly would tend to avoid strong light in a dark space and are less likely to move into the center in an open area, but with the attractant in the middle, I could set the lies up to make impulsive decisions to go in the center. Interestingly, my data showed strong evidence that nicotine did, in fact, increase the fly’s tendency to make impulsive decisions, but the dosage of the nicotine did not seem to make a significant change.
Despite my rather poor performance towards the beginning, I was actually able to develop a genuine curiosity and desire to learn, and I would like to think that this showed in the improved quality of work I was able to produce throughout my independent project.
All in all, TRIP was an extremely fulfilling experience that introduced me to a world of science that I had absolutely no sight of, and I can tell that there is so much more to explore in this field. I made great friends and even more amazing mentors. Hopefully, I continue to keep in touch with them even after the end of this amazing program (wink).
Some people move on. But not us. Not us.

BBC Two Renews ‘Defending The Guilty’ For Second Season
By Patrick Munn | October 23, 2019 - 5:52 pm | No Comments
Tags : BBC Two, Big Talk Productions, Defending The Guilty
BBC Two has handed out a second season renewal to legal comedy Defending The Guilty. Six episodes have been ordered for the show’s second season.
The renewal comes shortly after season one wrapped its run on BBC Two. The series premiere has has consolidated across 28 days to amass an audience of 1.5 million viewers and a 9.2 percent audience share. That represents an increase of 31 percent on BBC Two’s Tuesday night slot average.
Defending The Guilty follows Will Packham, an idealistic pupil barrister being shown the ropes by his cynical, worldly-wise pupilmaster Caroline. Mistakenly believing that his role is to serve justice, Will must navigate his way through a criminal justice system seemingly designed to be as opaque and confusing as possible. While also dealing with his fellow pupils, each of them after the same single job at the end of their training and more than happy to stab each other in the back to get it.
Can he succeed and hold on to his principles? Or will the system claim another victim? The comedy series, which was created by Kieron Quirke and Alex McBride, is produced by Big Talk Productions and stars Will Sharpe, Katherine Parkinson, Mark Bonnar, Gwyneth Keyworth, Prasanna Puwanarajah, Hanako Footman and Hugh Coles. The executive producers are Kenton Allen, Saurabh Kakkar, and Kieron Quirke for Big Talk, and Kate Daughton for the BBC. Jim Field Smith is co-executive producer. BBC Studios handles global sales.
“I’m overjoyed to be diving back into the world of 60 Bedford Row Chambers, peopled by one of the best ensemble casts on TV”, said series co-creator and executive producer Kieron Quirke. “Having superlative actors and the backing of the classiest production team in TV comedy really does make script-writing a tolerable thing.”
“We’ve been overwhelmed by the response to the series and are thrilled that the BBC is allowing us to spend more time with our talented gang as Kieron expertly ties their moral fibre in knots”, commented Big Talk Productions’ executive producer Saurabh Kakkar.
While Kate Daughton, Head of BBC Comedy, added: “The BBC Two audience have loved this brilliant first series. We can’t wait to get lost again with Will, Caroline and the gang in the moral maze that is Britain’s Criminal Justice System.”

The trio also welcomed three cargo spacecraft delivering several tons of supplies and research experiments. Rubins was involved in the grapple of Orbital ATK's Cygnus spacecraft to the station in October, and SpaceX's Dragon ninth contracted mission in July. One Russian ISS Progress cargo spacecraft also docked to the station in July.
At the time of undocking, Expedition 50 began aboard the Station under the command of NASA astronaut Shane Kimbrough who, along with his crewmates Sergey Ryzhikov and Andrey Borisenko of Roscosmos, arrived at the Station a week ago. The three-person crew will operate the Station for three weeks until the arrival of three new crew members. Peggy Whitson of NASA, Thomas Pesquet of ESA (European Space Agency) and Oleg Novitsky of Roscosmos are scheduled to launch in November from Baikonur, Kazakhstan.

5 Ways to Get a Global Perspective for Better Career Options
The La Huaylla, Peru Implementation trip, summer of 2017. Travelers painted a mural with the kids at the local school house, which read "Agua es Vida," meaning "Water is Life." (The Peru2018 Travel Team/UC Davis)
By Susan Ebeler on May 30, 2018
We’ve all heard it said: The world is getting smaller.
With cheaper and more efficient modes of transportation and various forms of social media, the movement of people and exchange of ideas is faster and easier than ever before. Globalization brings with it challenges and opportunities to ensure that resources are used sustainably, issues of social and economic justice are considered and addressed, and individual intellectual freedoms are upheld.
Increasingly, employers are looking for students who understand these challenges and embrace the opportunities. So, how can students prepare for professional and personal success in an increasingly interconnected and interdependent world?
Here are five of the many ways to gain a global perspective, open doors to new career options and make friends along the way:
Take a class with a global perspective
Jordan Lara enjoyed "Introduction to Chicanx Studies" so much he decided to combine his animal biology major with a double major in Chicanx studies. (Jordan Lara/UC Davis)
UC Davis offers numerous classes — and even a minor in global and international studies — focused on learning about other cultures, a new language, and/or the links between biological/physical sciences and societal issues.
Classes that provide global perspective
AAS 16 Verbal and Performance Arts in Africa
ARE 165 Emerging Economies and Globalization
ASA 1 Historical Experience of Asian Americans
CHI 50 Chicana and Chicano Culture
CRD 142 Rural Change in the Industrialized World
IAD 160 Agroforestry: Global and Local Perspectives
SAS 2 Feeding the Planet: Influences on the Global Food Supply
Jordan Lara enjoyed “Introduction to Chicanx Studies” so much he decided to combine his animal biology major with a double major in Chicanx studies.
“Learning about Chicanx history and culture really resonated with me,” Lara said. “The topic really guided what I want to do with my career. I am interested in pharmaceutical/drug design, and learning about Chicanx culture helped me to understand how health care and pharmaceutical costs impact communities.”
Participate in a research project that addresses global challenges
Research projects offer experience in your discipline and can have a direct impact on our local and/or global community. Visit the Undergraduate Research Center for options or ask faculty members about research experiences in their laboratories, studios and programs.
Get involved in our diverse campus community
You don’t have to travel around the world to gain a global perspective. Our campus is home to thousands of students, scholars, staff and faculty, who are from more than 110 countries.
There are countless ways to meet new people and engage in diverse cultures:
Attend a cultural night, watch an international film or participate in lectures and discussions at the International House Davis.
Join a student club or organization that helps you deepen your knowledge of your own culture(s) or exposes you to others.
Visit the Cross Cultural Center and learn out about various campus cultural communities and how to be an ally.
Share your experiences or learn about the experiences of others at Global Engagement Mondays and International Cafes hosted by Services for International Students and Scholars in Global Affairs, or become a Global Ambassador.
Attend a performance at the Mondavi Center. Or attend a performance of a UC Davis group, such as Gamelan Ensemble, Hindustani Vocal Ensemble or Samba School.
Participate in a workshop on Chinese calligraphy, learn about tea culture, or take a Chinese cooking class through the Confucius Institute at UC Davis in Global Affairs.
Attend an event or workshop through the Office of Campus Dialog and Deliberation.
Participate in International Education Week, which has been hosted in the fall at UC Davis for 15 years and includes events that celebrate international education and exchange.
Host an international/intercultural potluck and invite friends to bring a food from their culture.

Take on a service learning project
Take your classroom learning to real-world applications and gain an awareness of issues that are facing our communities:
Consider volunteering with community organizations such as the Shifa Community Clinic, a nonprofit, student-run medical facility dedicated to serving the diverse, medically uninsured population of the Greater Sacramento Area.
Explore internships with companies that have a global footprint through the Internship and Career Center.
Apply for funds to do an international or domestic field project with a nongovernmental organization or agency through the Blum Center for Developing Economies in Global Affairs.
Build your own project and team with support from programs such as the CITRIS and Banatao Institute Tech for Social Good.
Explore more ways to get involved through the Center for Leadership Learning and the Center for Student Involvement.
The Peru Travel Team in La Huaylla. (The Peru2018 Travel Team/UC Davis)
At UC Davis, the Engineers without Borders program is working to improve water distribution systems in communities in Peru, Bolivia and Indonesia. Civil engineering major Valerie Yanez, who volunteers with the program, said “I enjoy the opportunity to work on projects that can have a great impact on others around the world.”
“I have learned to really listen to the ideas of others and to work with communities to implement their own solutions. The projects have been a great way for me to improve skills that will be necessary when entering the workforce, including teamwork, project management, leadership, communication, budgeting and much more,” Yanez said.
Explore the world and study abroad
Experience firsthand another country or another part of the United States as it has been shaped by global influences through Study Abroad in Global Affairs. Programs span the academic year, from Quarters Abroad to Summers Abroad, and even shorter 10-day to 3-week Seminars Abroad during summer and winter breaks. Some involve study at another university, while others focus on community-engaged project work.
If you’re thinking about a study away experience, talk with the financial aid office about financial support and make sure to meet with an academic advisor in your major — often you can earn units that will apply to your degree.

Honoring Hope and Courage
Photography by Vince Bucci Photography
Attendees at the 2016 Visionary Ball, held at the Beverly Wilshire Hotel on October 27, 2016, helped raise more than $1.2 million to benefit the Department of Neurosurgery in the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA. Hosted by Emmy Award-winning television personality Larry Wilmore, the event supports the department's crucial research initiatives.
"We are excited to celebrate our amazing honorees and raise funds to advance the most sophisticated neurosurgical treatments in the nation," said Dr. Neil A. Martin, former chair of the UCLA Department of Neurosurgery and W. Eugene Stern Chair in Neurosurgery, who left UCLA at the end of 2016. "Our joint efforts will further our ability to help more patients and their family members with some of the most complicated neurological disorders."
Edie Baskin Bronson and Susan Dolgen, longtime supporters of the Department of Neurosurgery, served as event co-chairs. Mark Burnett and Roma Downey, honored last year with the Visionary Award, returned to serve as honorary co-chairs. Guests enjoyed dinner, award presentations, patient testimonials and a performance by UCLA graduate and contestant on The Voice India Carney.
The Visionary Award went to Michael V. Lewis, CEO and co-founder of RealD. Lewis's leading-edge advances in visual technology have been used for robotic medical procedures and to pilot the Mars Rover and pioneer digital 3-D cinema.
Dr. Linda M. Liau (RES '97, FEL '98), director of the UCLA Brain Tumor Program, vice chair of research and professor and interim chair of the Department of Neurosurgery, was honored with the Medical Visionary Award. Dr. Liau and her research team have developed the first personalized brain-cancer vaccine in the United States, made by isolating a specific immune cell in the patient and combining it with the patient's own tumor tissue.
Writer, producer and director Donald P. Bellisario received the Courage Award. Bellisario created/produced a number of television series, including Magnum P.I. and NCIS, and is the recipient of a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. The Rodney Respect Award went to Emmy Award-winning comedian Jon Lovitz. His television and film credits include The Wedding Singer, Saturday Night Live and The Simpsons.

UK LAWYERS FOR ISRAEL > NEWS > antisemitism > Colombian, Polish and Austrian Ambassadors press for Action at UNESCO Against Belgian Carnival Antisemitism
Colombian, Polish and Austrian Ambassadors press for Action at UNESCO Against Belgian Carnival Antisemitism
antisemitism, Belgium, Carnival, International, NGO
Efforts by UK Lawyers for Israel and the Simon Wiesethal Centre to have the Aalst Festival removed from Unesco’s list have yielded some results.
At the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity Bureau meeting on 21 March 2019, the Bureau Chair Ambassador of Colombia and the Ambassador of Austria lead support for a strong resolution condemning the Belgian Aalst Carnival antisemitic float. Poland supported the Austrian position, while “Palestine” and others added a paragraph to the draft resolution on “racism and Islamophobia.”
Left to right: Dr. Claudia Reinprecht, Austrian Ambassador to UNESCO, Dr. Samuels , Dr. Anna Steiner, European and International Cultural Policy Department of the Austrian Federal Chancellery
UKLFI originally wrote to Unesco on 6 March, two days afer the Aalst festival, asking it to de-list the festival and assisted the International Movement for Peace and Co-existence to prepare a petition urging the de-listing. The petition has now been signed by over 15,500 people. UKLFI then wrote, jointly with the Simon Wiesenthal Centre, to each of the members of the Bureau.
The outrageous float portraying Orthodox Jews, seated on gold coins, among rats, was deemed by the Bureau as ‘pure and simple antisemitism’, according to Shimon Samuels of the Simon Wiesenthal Centre.
The launch of the proceedings to remove something that had been listed as part of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity, sets a precedent in the Committee’s 26 year history.
The six member-state body (Austria, Colombia, “Palestine,” the Philippines, Poland and Zambia), proposed that the Bureau’s resolution be presented at the Intangible Cultural Heritage larger Committee meeting, in Bogotà, Colombia, next December.
Jonathan Turner, Chief Executive of UKLFI welcomed the report of the resolution and commented, “Now responsibility lies with the full committee to de-list the Aalst Carnival.”
Assistant Director-General for Culture, Ernesto Ottone, has publicly condemned the float. The Intangible Heritage Committee Director, Timothy Curtis, also expressed sympathy for the objections to Aalst.
The Ambassador of Belgium indicated that judicial measures are under consideration to penalize the Carnival.

KY: Kentucky Awarded Grant for Appalachian Opportunity Zone Initiative
Kentucky has been named the recipient of a $1.2 million federal grant to establish the Appalachian Opportunity Zone Initiative to identify, develop and market projects in Opportunity Zones across 54 counties within the Appalachian Regional Commission (ARC) region, 37 of which are classified as distressed areas.
“The Appalachian Opportunity Zone Initiative offers a pointed strategy to encourage investment in areas of the commonwealth that need it most,” Gov. Matt Bevin said. “The region boasts incredible untapped economic opportunities, and we’re committed to leveraging every resource to promote those potential projects. This initiative promises to continue our transformative growth in Eastern Kentucky, and we look forward to seeing the exciting results.”
The grant, issued by ARC and administered by the Kentucky Department for Local Government (DLG), is expected to assist with efforts to attract private capital investment from Opportunity Funds.
“Appalachia is America’s best kept investment secret and the next great investment opportunity,” said DLG Commissioner Sandra Dunahoo. “The Appalachian Opportunity Zone Initiative will give our region a competitive advantage, allowing us to develop the necessary prospectuses to showcase and market our assets to a global economy.”
The Kentucky Cabinet for Economic Development will develop, implement and oversee the three-year Appalachian Opportunity Zone Initiative, which will focus on individual counties and projects, as well as a regional development and marketing plan. The program aims to bridge the gap for distressed ARC counties that have great potential to develop projects but lack the necessary resources to develop and market projects at a level competitive with other regions.
As part of this initiative, the cabinet will utilize contracted consultants assigned to specified targeted ARC counties. Consultants will be selected via a competitive RFP process, and responsibilities include working directly with local community and business leaders to identify, develop and create a marketing plan for viable projects in the area. Consultants also will coordinate efforts with the cabinet’s legal, marketing and entrepreneurship staff to ensure all counties have access to the commonwealth’s full range of resources.
“This project is part of a broader effort to encourage investment in Opportunity Zones across Kentucky,” said Jessica Burke, general counsel at the cabinet. “Specifically, this grant will allow us to focus additional efforts on areas most in need of assistance in turning ideas for Opportunity Zone projects into actual investment. The capital needed to make these projects possible is already here in the commonwealth, and the Appalachian Opportunity Zone Initiative could be instrumental in connecting investors with growth opportunities throughout the ARC region.”
The initiative was announced today during a press conference at the Booneville Entertainment Center in Owsley County. Cabinet and DLG representatives were on hand to explain the new program and highlight a community that has already taken action to capitalize on the benefits of Opportunity Zones and breathe new life into a local venue with rich history.
Booneville’s Seale Theater, formerly a cornerstone of the community, closed in 1985 and has since dilapidated to the point it is no longer safe for use. The building was purchased by the Owsley County Alliance for Recreation and Entertainment (OCARE) and, by way of the organization’s Booneville Theater project, local leaders are attempting to revitalize the once prominent location to once again host a variety of events, including pageants, movie screenings and plays. Once complete, the renovated theater could provide job opportunities and serve as an attraction for residents of surrounding counties.
Grant funds also will support production of digital and print materials, including a comprehensive prospectus for each Kentucky county in the ARC region where opportunity zones are located, as well as regional and project-specific materials. Any remaining funds would be used to host investor conferences and other outreach activities throughout the region.

Zweli Mkhize warns of ‘COVID resurgence’ as SA moves to Level 1
It’s our first day of Level 1 lockdown on Monday. As the rules relax even further this week, Health Minister Zweli Mkhize has urged South Africans to avoid complacency, by issuing a stark warning about the possibility of a ‘COVID resurgence’.
South Africa moves to Level 1
His words are precautionary, but in this post-normal world, they need to be taken very seriously. Although infection rates in Mzansi have declined sharply, Mkhize did remind the public that a significant number of people are still contracting coronavirus on a weekly basis – and that’s only counting the people who have actually taken a test.
In the video address, Mkhize also explains that South Africa is pinning its hopes on a working vaccine to help bring the country out of lockdown for good. With parts of Europe already experiencing a second wave, it seems that prolonged periods of tight restrictions cannot eradicate the virus on their own.
Zweli Mkhize warns of ‘COVID resurgence’
At Level 1, curfew hours are shorter, more people can return to work, and international travel resumes. The economy is in its strongest position for six months, after taking an absolute battering from the pandemic. Although the need to get the country back on its feet is urgent, Mkhize insists that this has to be done carefully:
“We’re not out of the woods. We know that, although about 10 000 people per week are getting infected, there will be more out there. We are now searching for the vaccine, but before we get the vaccine, we can’t rest.”
“South Africans must know that Level 1 isn’t like everything is over. Yes, it’s in place to rebuild our economy, but we have to make sure we take precautions. This COVID-19 can still resurge. We must not lose the message and be complacent. The fight continues, so our containment measures still remain in place.”

Tech Review: I Had A Steamy, Weeklong Love Affair With the Microsoft Surface Go
Leah Williams
For a long time, tablets have existed in a nebulous space – not quite as practical as a phone, and not nearly as capable as a laptop. The Microsoft Surface Go exists somewhere in the space between, filling a much needed niche in portable computing.
For just over a week, I had the chance to travel with the Surface Go as it helped me complete a variety of Sisyphean tasks including, somewhat ironically, writing this review. While past experiences with portable Windows laptops had sent me running into the cold and uncaring clutches of the Apple monolith, the Surface Go presented me with something completely new.
The Surface Go was extremely slick, very accessible and powerful enough to serve me in my everyday needs. To say it was love at first sight would be to cheapen the bond that we built.
Alongside the Surface Go, I was provided with a tablet pen and keyboard cover that come as optional accessories for the device (priced at $139.95 and $149.95 respectively). While the Surface Go is able to run completely free of these extras, they do provide an added layer of versatility and protection for the device – for a price.
The whole package is very neat, and with magnetic clips on both accessories, the tablet can easily transform to suit your every whim. While taking hints from Apple’s popular minimalist style, the Surface Go also innovates it, with subtly great design.
The power cable, for example, clips neatly into the side of the device, appearing almost completely flat against it. This rules out much of the wear and tear faced by regular cables and means the tablet can be rested on any side when in use. It’s a minor change, but one extremely appreciated for its versatility.
It’s not just the design that’s versatile either, as it has a range of features and uses that make it a practical and useful machine for those with a busy professional life.
Ostensibly, this is the primary function of the Surface Go, designed mainly for portable and practical use across professional and personal life. Notes can be written directly onto the machine via tablet pen, replicating that long-forgotten feeling on writing notes on actual, real-life paper, or typed in via the keyboard accessory.
Both methods work easily well, with the tablet pen working brilliantly in tandem with the touch screen to make note taking easy, quick and practical.
Given the versatility and ease of use of the tablet pen, the leap between note-taking functionality and drawing capability is not hard to see. As a hobbyist artisté (read: I am terrible at art), the Surface Go was a fun tool to poke around with, and was sensitive enough to fashion rudimentary artworks with. The artworks I created were far too powerful to be perceived by mortal eyes, however, so I’ll save you the pain and torment they would surely bring.
Unfortunately, the Surface Go is not a particularly powerful device. Battery life is fairly standard, with claims of reaching up to 9 hours of untethered battery life semi-mythical. I was never able to obtain more than around 6 hours of continuous use, which sometimes dipped as low as 3 when using the device for gaming.
While it is designed for simple, on-the-go use, it still managed to power through a variety of lower-tier adventure games when required. It sputtered and complained when A Hat in Time and Skyrim were tested, but it was perfectly at ease playing lower spec adventure games like Mysterium and The Secret of Monkey Island.
A significant portion of my Steam library was available to me on the Surface Go, a distinct advantage from other tablets, which are often locked to particular games and apps. While the Surface Go initially booted into Windows 10 S Mode, which prevents third party applications from being installed, this feature is easily overridden, meaning the tablet can run natively in standard Windows 10.
Overall, the Surface Go is a well-designed and practical tablet perfect for every day use. While it can’t be relied on for its power capabilities, its functionality and style shines in other areas. In a busy and fast-paced life, the Surface Go represents the perfect, loving companion, balancing the practical needs of a laptop with all the convenience of a lightweight tablet.
Score: 8.5 out of 10
Highlights: Sleek and stylish design; versatility of use; portability
Lowlights: Battery life; power capabilities; accessory prices
Manufacturer: Microsoft
Price: $839 (128GB)
This steamy affair was conducted with a loaned Surface Go retail unit provided by the publisher.

Jacob Rees-Mogg’s defence of Boris Johnson is utterly indefensible
Fréa Lockley
In an article for the Telegraph on 11 August, Jacob Rees-Mogg said he agrees “entirely” with Boris Johnson’s racist comments about burqa-wearing Muslim women. The former foreign secretary said that women wearing burqas or niqabs as look like “letter boxes” or “bank robbers”.
Some Conservatives – including PM Theresa May and Baroness Sayeeda Warsi – called on Johnson to apologise for his comments. An internal party investigation will examine the Islamophobic content of his remarks. But now Ress-Mogg has added new insult to existing injury.
“Intolerant liberals”
According to Rees-Mogg, attacking Johnson only “helps the opposition”:
Attacking Boris merely helps the opposition. https://t.co/k0RyfCXGrB
— Jacob Rees-Mogg (@Jacob_Rees_Mogg) August 11, 2018
This Martin Luther King Jr. Day, let’s not whitewash what he stood for
Ress-Mogg said that Johnson only:
went beyond the limits of intolerant liberals and criticised the appearance of the burka. He denied that it adds to the wearer’s pulchritude and did so in a typically forthright way.
But Rees-Mogg also used his diatribe to resurface some equally disgusting comments made by other Tories. He referenced Kenneth Clarke who called the burqa “peculiar” and a ‘kind of bag'”. Apparently:
At the time, this would have been the collective view of the government.
And he also dismissed the “howls of outrage” because Johnson was only saying “something that had been said before” and that no one had objected to. According to Rees-Mogg, it’s “absurd” to call Johnson’s comments “either victimising or harassing”.
Sorry, what?
“F***ing letterbox”
The Muslim Council of Great Britain (MCGB) said Johnson’s “words have had a negative and potentially dangerous effect on Muslim women and Muslims generally”. It also reported:
On LBC radio, a Muslim woman recounted her experience of being abused on the street and mocked by being compared to a letterbox. A Muslim woman and her children were abused outside a medical centre. Another Muslim woman was called a “f***ing letterbox” by a lady in Parsons Green. Two pensioners began to loudly mock the niqab as they watched a BBC News interview in the waiting area in front of a Muslim woman wearing the hijab.
Similar reports also emerged on social media:
Boris Johnson burka comments: Muslim Tory peer 'suffered vile racist abuse after complaining about remarks'https://t.co/sGm9Cm6kz2
— Crouching Pochettino (@kerzuah) August 10, 2018
I've just seen a Burka wearing Muslim lady with her kids being abused outside the medical centre, youths were shoving envelopes in her face, and her kids were crying. Police had to be called. This is your doing #BorisJohnson and Rowan Atkinson thinks what you said is funny. 😡
— Amanda Fleiss (@Amanda_Fleiss) August 10, 2018
As Owen Jones noted, Johnson – and now Rees-Mogg – ” are legitimising” hate crimes:
A young mum boarded a bus with her two month old baby – and the bus driver demanded she remove the veil and insinuated she could "bomb the bus". This is the sort of hatred that the likes of Boris Johnson are legitimising. https://t.co/X613l1BDcq
— Owen Jones🌹 (@OwenJones84) August 11, 2018
Just days after Johnson’s comments Fatiha El-Ghorri also shared an account of her mother’s experience:
Me & mum
One day she was walking to our local shop when 3 men URINATED on her
She has a crutch
She froze
She was thankful that they only urinated on her
She said ‘Fatiha,the urine can b washed out so plze dont worry’ as we hugged each other & cried #borisjohnson#islamophobia pic.twitter.com/qjwkcEnZ71
— Fatiha El-Ghorri (@fatihaelghorri) August 8, 2018
Rees-Mogg’s comments only add to concerns about Islamophobia in the Conservative Party and its persistent failure to take action.
MCGB has repeatedly called for an investigation into Islamophobia among Conservatives. Warsi, former Conservative co-chair told Business Insider that Islamophobia is “very widespread” in the party and that:
It exists right from the grassroots, all the way up to the top.
A recent report from Vice also revealed that Islamophobic comments are rife on the Conservative Home website:
comments… compared the burka to ‘SS uniforms’ and talked of the need to discuss ‘how to eradicate the cancer’ of ‘Islam and Middle Eastern cultures’.
No defence
Rees-Moggs comments are utterly indefensible. Although as campaigner and lawyer Peter Stefanovic pointed out, that’s not really a surprise:
What would you expect from Jacob Rees-Mogg, the man who described the disgraceful & abominable go-home vans that Theresa May introduced as Home Secretary as “a lapse of good taste!” https://t.co/9QtIeqH7zf
— Peter Stefanovic (@PeterStefanovi2) August 11, 2018
Rees-Mogg’s ludicrous defence is that he was preventing a “show trial” of Johnson. But both these Tories have actually perpetuated foul and vile racist commentary.
Both Johnson and Rees-Mogg are a disgrace and they need to go: now.
– Read our other articles on Islamophobia.
– Support The Canary if you appreciate the work we do.
– Write to your MP, asking them to demand an official inquiry into Islamophobia in the Conservative Party.

New Zealand’s goal of a carbon-neutral government faces an uphill battle
New Zealand’s goal to have a carbon-neutral public sector by 2025 can only happen if it is backed by additional funding and bold policies instead of relying on carbon offset schemes.
According to reporting by the Thompson Reuters Foundation, New Zealand’s climate goals can only be achieved if they take bold policy positions. This could include targeting New Zealand’s key dairy sector.
In addition to promising a carbon-neutral public sector in five years, Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern declared a climate emergency earlier this week, a move the main opposition party dismissed as "virtue signalling".
"It's an ambitious goal and it's good to see the government committing to lead from the front," Amanda Larsson, senior campaigner at Greenpeace Aotearoa, said on Thursday 3 December.
"But in order to make a dent on emissions, what we really need is government policies to cut pollution from the agriculture and transport sectors."
Climate change was a key issue in October's election, won by Ardern's Labour Party, with many New Zealanders becoming more aware of the threat earlier this year as ash from bushfires in Australia turned its skies red and its glaciers brown.
Proud of being one of the world's most pristine, naturally beautiful countries, New Zealand has introduced climate change into its school curriculum, while parliament approved a bill to cut carbon emissions to net-zero by 2050.
But according to analysis by research coalition Climate Action Tracker, the country's current climate policies are "insufficient" and inconsistent with limiting global warming to the Paris accord's tightest goal of 1.5 degrees Celsius.
Methane from agriculture and waste accounts for more than 40 percent of New Zealand's emissions, it noted.
"We need to see bolder action from the government, a commitment to fully decarbonise the state sector and a clear plan that sets out how they will do it," said Siri Andersen, co-director at climate campaign group 350 Aotearoa.
"Our government has the mandate and the numbers in parliament to lead a rapid, just transition to a low-carbon future, and the community is expecting (it) to take bold action," Anderson told the Thomson Reuters Foundation.
More funding required
The Pacific nation's "School Strike 4 Climate" marches last year put pressure on Ardern to be bolder with her climate policies but her efforts to do so were often hampered by her coalition partners in government, green groups said.
Under the new goal, government agencies will have to measure and report emissions and offset any they can't cut by 2025.
The programme will also be backed by a NZ$200 million ($141 million) fund to finance replacing coal boilers and help buy electric or hybrid vehicles.
"The key challenge is, and always will be, funding," said Elliott Hughes, a spokesman at Generation Zero, a youth-led climate action organisation.
"Without additional funding, it's difficult to imagine organizations already short on cash having the resources to decarbonize effectively."
However, this week's announcement would send a strong signal to households, businesses and investors that climate change is a priority for New Zealand, green groups said.
This needed to be followed with policies, regulations and incentives that make climate-smart choices easier, said Greenpeace's Larsson.
Government agencies will now need to look at replacing their fossil fuel vehicles with greener alternatives - like public transport, cycling or electric vehicles, environmentalists said.
Improvements to public buildings - many of which use coal fired boilers - would also be needed to ensure energy efficiency and to prioritise renewable energy, they added.
In addition, the new pledge should provide incentives for government designers of public housing to consider energy efficiency - vital given the country's chronic housing shortage, said Denys Trussell of Friends of the Earth New Zealand.
But the concern is that meeting the new emissions target will involve offsetting building emissions, which doesn't "green" the sector at all, said Cindy Baxter, a spokeswoman at Coal Action Network Aotearoa, a climate campaign group.
"Buying offsets isn't proper climate action," she said. "We need to see this sector actually cutting fossil fuel use, but there needs to be funding for that."

A judge has halted a law that required voters in Pennsylvania to show ID. While an appeal is possible, the six-month-old law won't be in effect for the presidential election. Republicans say such a law is necessary to avoid fraud, with one top official saying that it may have helped Romney win Pennsylvania. Republicans are currently behind in polls in the state, which holds 20 electoral votes.

Bashing Trump Is Easy. Seeing His Foreign Policy Is Smart Takes Guts
REUTERS/Eric Thayer
By Patrick Smith
Is Donald Trump “dangerous,” as 50 G.O.P. national security “experts” asserted in an open letter—the second this year—published last week? Would he be “the most reckless president in American history,” as they also warned?
Jeffrey Goldberg calls Trump “a de facto agent of Vladimir Putin,” in The Atlantic. Paul Krugman's column in The New York Times is headlined, “Donald Trump, the Siberian Candidate.” And Jackson Diehl in The Washington Post called Trump “as pure an American expression of Putinism as we are likely to see.”
Related: Would Trump Really Be the Most Reckless American President?
Have yesteryear’s policy experts and today’s pundits lost their grip? Are we now treated to a festival of overstatement whenever the topic is Donald Trump?
There are 50 reasons not to support Trump’s Republican candidacy for president. For the record, this columnist is on board for 49 of them.
But the epithets, shouting, and campaign-trail politicking obscure one stance that deserves very serious attention. Among the few things Trump has made clear about his foreign policy thinking is his willingness to negotiate with those Washington considers adversaries in recognition of what legitimate interests they may have.
That’s radically short of a full-dress policy platform, of course. But it puts Trump in curious company—perfectly respectable.
The thought that post–1945 American primacy can’t be sustained in the 21st century is fast achieving the status of a no-brainer. Those who argue otherwise start to resemble Dutch boys with their fingers in dikes, except that they’re not going to prevail against our turbulent seas.
Related: Reeling from a Week in Hell, Trump Forces Try to Push Back
The interesting question now is, “Where do we go from here?” There are lots of answers, but one is for an era of restraint in American foreign policy. And for all Trump’s huffing and puffing, he appears to line up with it.
Barry Posen, an M.I.T. professor, made the case two years ago in Restraint: A New Foundation for American Grand Strategy. It’s a conservative argument—a moral argument, too—against what Posen calls the “liberal hegemony” Washington has assiduously sought since the Cold War. If the phrase summons Hillary Clinton to your mind your mind is in working order.
The libertarians—Rand Paul and a few other elected officials prominent among them—take similar positions to Posen. The Cato Institute held a conference this summer under the banner “The Case for Restraint in U.S. Foreign Policy.” Its invitation stated, “Decades of rigorous military interventions and long-term military alliances have caused more problems than they solved—and a grand strategy of restraint aligns with the fundamental values at the core of our nation’s founding.”
Funny, that’s Trump’s argument, too, but nobody called Cato reckless or dangerous.
Trump evidently enjoys setting fire to the conversation, because he makes his case in inflammatory terms. Putin is a gifted statesman, far superior to President Obama, Trump says. If a NATO partner doesn’t pay its way, why should we come to its defense? If we’re committed to not using nuclear weapons, why do we build them?
Related: Planning the Purge: What Will the GOP Look Like After Trump?
There are legitimate arguments here but better ways to make them. Putin has indeed tied Obama in knots on several occasions—there’s no denying this. But to say so while campaigning is impolitic, to say the least.
In effect, Trump gives his shrillest opponents openings to pounce while obscuring his baseline thinking. We shouldn’t miss this amid all the hubbub: Diplomacy as the first option in dealing with other great powers, military deployment as the last is sound 21st-century policy.
There’s a role-reversal in the 2016 political season we also shouldn’t miss. Clinton’s hawkishly interventionist foreign policy platform, which reads straight out of her record as secretary of state, is one traditionally identified with Republicans. Trump’s preference for “deal-making” is more commonly the Democratic Party’s.
Jeremy Shapiro and Richard Sokolsky, two fellows at The Brookings Institution, published a report Friday, “Why Hillary Clinton Wouldn’t Be a Foreign Policy Hawk as President.” Clinton wants to be a domestic president, they argue. She’s a hawk on the record, “but a prudent hawk.”
Related: Take the Trump Challenge: What Would He Have to Say to Finally Get ‘Fired’?
This is political calculation by any other name. Given the unexpected prominence of foreign policy in the 2016 race, Clinton’s many incautious mistakes on the foreign side have been biting her for months. Enter the “resident scholars.” It doesn’t help that Brookings, a nest of conflicting interests according to the Times’ series last week on its modus operandi, sponsored this piece.
Clinton has a few good things to say and a lot of bad. Trump deserves the same ear for the same reason.
Together they mark the parameters of this nation’s biggest challenge in foreign policy. Our choice isn’t between military engagement and isolation: It’s to remain responsibly active in global affairs while depending less on military superiority.
That’s another thing we ought not to miss.

WASHINGTON — Congressional leaders said Wednesday that they are nearing agreement on a roughly $900 billion economic relief package that would include a second round of stimulus checks and could be completed by the end of this week.
The package emerging is expected to include hundreds of billions of dollars in aid for ailing small businesses and jobless Americans; tens of billions of dollars in aid for other critical needs, such as vaccine distribution and schools; and a one-time check of between $600 and $700 for millions of Americans below a certain income threshold.
The relief bill probably will be coupled with several other major efforts - from legislation to fund federal agencies to a bipartisan effort to rein in surprise medical billing - that lawmakers could then pass into law in a matter of days.
Lawmakers are racing to pass a deal in part because of widespread signs of economic deterioration in the face of the resurgent pandemic, as well as the imminent expiration of several critical federal aid programs by the end of the year. Nearly 8 million Americans have fallen into poverty since this summer, according to a new report, in part because emergency benefit programs expired. More Americans are filing for unemployment benefits, and the pace of hiring has slowed.
To avoid a shutdown of the federal government, Congress must pass a new spending bill by midnight Friday. Aides said lawmakers could pass another short-term extension of government funding to buy negotiators more time to strike a deal.
Tensions over the new package flared in the final stages of negotiations, with Sens. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., and Joe Manchin, D-W.Va., engaging in what aides described as a heated exchange during an internal conference call Wednesday afternoon. Sanders pushed for the package to include bigger aid checks. Manchin has said unemployment benefits are more essential, and he helped lead a bipartisan compromise Sanders has derided as insufficient. Because lawmakers are trying to move the bill quickly, Sanders’s opposition could be enough to blow the whole deal up, infuriating members who are trying to rush the deal into law.
But it is these changing political dynamics that have opened the door for a potential agreement. Congressional Democrats had sought a much larger stimulus package before the election. Many, however, have now softened their position after President-elect Joe Biden’s victory, which could help secure some immediate relief. Leadership negotiations were revived by bipartisan legislation released this week, led by a team including Manchin and Sens. Mark Warner, D-Va., and Mitt Romney, R-Utah. The final bill is expected to closely mirror their initial proposal.
As the bills took shape, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., hosted hours of meetings on Tuesday with the three other most senior congressional leaders - Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., and House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif. Negotiators have described those talks as productive.
“The stimulus package is encouraging. It looks like it’s very, very close,” Biden said in Wilmington, Del., on Wednesday. “It’s a down payment. An important down payment that’s going to have to be done. . . . It’s very important to get done.”
House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer, D-Md., told reporters Wednesday afternoon that he is hoping for a deal “later today or early tomorrow morning.”
Even if negotiators reach a deal Wednesday, clearing it through Congress by the Friday midnight deadline could be a heavy lift. The House could vote as soon as Thursday, waiving its usual three-day rule for the review of legislation. The Senate would then have to secure unanimous consent among its 100 members to skip procedural hurdles and move to a final vote before the deadline. An objection from Sanders or any other senator could cause a brief government shutdown unless lawmakers agree to another short-term funding bill.
The emerging stimulus package is expected to include a new round of funding for the Paycheck Protection Program, which faced criticism for giving government aid to large corporations, as well as targeted relief for other ailing business sectors. It will also include $300 per week in supplemental federal benefits for more than 10 million jobless Americans, according to Sen. John Thune, R-S.D., the number two-ranking Republican senator.
Democrats also secured $25 billion to establish a new program to provide emergency rental assistance, funding that could be used to cover past and future rent payments, as well as other related expenses, Schumer told Senate Democrats on a video call Wednesday, according to a Democratic official familiar with his remarks.
Some key parts of the bill have shifted in the past few days. The initial $908 billion bipartisan proposal, released this week by the group of moderates, would have not authorized another round of stimulus checks. Negotiators had tried to keep the bill’s cost below $1 trillion to maintain Republican support for the effort. The bill would have included money for state and local governments.
But state and local relief funding appeared to fall out of the deal Wednesday because lawmakers were unable to reach a compromise on coronavirus-related liability protections for corporations.
Slashing aid for states and cities from the emerging deal would free up close to $160 billion in funds that could be reapportioned for the direct payments. Using this pool of money, lawmakers have attempted to finance stimulus checks that are roughly half the size of the $1,200 checks approved in March, or $600 per person. Discussions were ongoing on Capitol Hill about the exact size of the payments. Some of the $160 billion could also be used to expand funding for vaccine distribution, people involved in the discussions said.
The potential inclusion of stimulus checks came after a push from Sanders and Sen. Josh Hawley, R-Mo., who threatened the government spending legislation to ensure a vote on a second round of stimulus checks. President Donald Trump has also pushed for another round of stimulus checks to be included in the final package, as have some left-leaning lawmakers in the House. Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin had proposed including $600 stimulus checks in the package last week, but Democrats opposed the measure then because the White House wanted to slash unemployment aid as well.
“I would say that that’s progress. It’s not where I would like it to be,” Hawley told reporters of the bill under development Wednesday.
Sanders also praised the inclusion of $600 checks as a “good start,” but he added: “I’m going to continue to fight for more.”
The addition of the stimulus checks is expected to come in part by reducing the amount of unemployment aid. Congressional leadership has told other lawmakers that they are planning on reducing the number of unemployment benefits by one month from the bipartisan plan, according to two people who spoke on the condition of anonymity to share private remarks. That could mean that the extended benefits would expire at the end of March. Such a timeline could force the incoming Biden administration to move more quickly in its effort to pass a massive stimulus bill early next year. Sen. Ron Wyden, D-Ore., the ranking Democrat on the Senate Finance Committee, panned the cut to unemployment benefits as “robbing Peter to pay Paul.”
Thune also suggested to reporters that lawmakers want to prevent people from receiving a combination of federal unemployment benefits and a direct payment, calling that a potential “double benefit.”
Failure to approve new aid for state and local governments could also come at a perilous time for municipalities across the country. One person familiar with negotiations said the agreement would include “other avenues to deliver aid” to states, cities, territories, and tribes, but the person did not provide specifics. Two other aides said lawmakers have discussed approving $90 billion for the Federal Emergency Management Agency that could then be distributed to states and cities. Thune said many GOP lawmakers would oppose that provision if “it’s simply a way of disguising money for state and local governments.”
The legislative push was expected to include other priorities unrelated to the relief package. Along with the $900 billion legislation, lawmakers are expected to approve $1.4 trillion to fund the federal agencies; tens of billions of dollars in extensions to expiring tax provisions; numerous trade provisions; and a bipartisan energy bill written by Manchin and Sen. Lisa Murkowski, R-Alaska, among other potential measures.
The bipartisan compromise on medical billing that lawmakers are working to include in the bill has been in development for more than a year, pitting insurance companies against private equity firms and doctors’ groups in an expensive public relations and lobbying battle. The legislation requires providers and insurers to negotiate directly, working with independent arbitrators to settle disputes. That approach, favored by the doctors and their financial backers, was chosen instead of a system of “benchmarking” prices to the rates insurers pay to providers already in their networks.

Biden-Harris name key public health voices in Covid-19 advisory board
PT Jyothi Datta Mumbai | Updated on November 09, 2020 Published on November 09, 2020
Co-headed by Indian-American Vivek Murthy, team includes Atul Gawande, Celine Gounder
US President-elect Joe Biden and Vice-President to be Kamala Harris have hit the road running with the announcement of a Covid-19 advisory board, comprising scientific voices and public health experts.
Heading the board are David Kessler, Vivek Murthy, and Marcella Nunez-Smith, a note on the transition team said. Besides Murthy, the other members of Indian-origin on the 13-member Board include public health voice and author Atul Gawande and Celine Gounder.
Giving details on the Board composition, the note said Kessler had been Commissioner of the USFDA(1990-97), appointed by former President George HW Bush and reappointed by President Bill Clinton.
Murthy is former Surgeon General (2014-17). Under the Barack Obama administration, he was vocal on issues like greater gun control, mental health, e-cigarettes and the opioid crisis. As Vice Admiral of the US Public Health Service Commissioned Corps, he commanded a uniformed service of 6,600 public health officers dedicated to public health threats from Ebola and Zika to the Flint water crisis and natural disasters, the note said.
Also co-heading the Board is Marcella Nunez-Smith, an Associate Professor of Internal Medicine, Public Health, and Management at Yale University and the Associate Dean for Health Equity Research at the Yale School of Medicine.
The backdrop to the US Presidential elections was the raging coronavirus pandemic,with the US seeing the highest number of cases and deaths. The Trump-led administration had been criticised by several quarters for its handling of the pandemic. The situation was also made worse with Trump batting for drugs like hydroxychloroquine as a “magic pill” of sorts, and undermining scientific voices like infectious diseases veteran Anthony Fauci.
Marking the transition, Biden said, “Dealing with the coronavirus pandemic is one of the most important battles our administration will face, and I will be informed by science and by experts.” The Advisory Board, he added, “will help shape my approach to managing the surge in reported infections; ensuring vaccines are safe, effective, and distributed efficiently, equitably, and free; and protecting at-risk populations.” New cases are rising in at least 40 states, with more than 9.3 million total infections and more than 2,36,000 deaths, the note said.
More scientific voices
The transition note further pointed out, that Beth Cameron and Rebecca Katz would be advisors to the transition on Covid-19 and work closely with the Advisory Board.
Also on the board are Rick Bright, immunologist, virologist and former public health official, a vocal critic of the Trump administration. Other scientific voices include Luciana Borio, Ezekiel Emanuel, Julie Morita, Michael Osterholm, Loyce Pace, Robert Rodriguez, Eric Goosby.
These leading scientists and public health experts will help tailor a “robust federal response,” consulting with state and local officials to determine the public health and economic steps necessary to get the virus under control, deliver immediate relief to working families, address racial and ethnic disparities, and reopen schools and businesses safely and effectively, the note said.

Feb. 24 (UPI) -- Television actor Jussie Smollett pleaded not guilty Monday on a six-count indictment charging him with falsely reporting that he was the victim of a racist and homophobic attack near his Chicago home.
Smollett, 37, entered the plea in the Chicago courtroom of Judge James Linn after the Cook County Circuit Court judge rejected a plea from Smollett's attorneys to delay the arraignment as they sought to dismiss the charges against him.
Formerly a cast member of the popular television show Empire, Smollett and an entourage entered the court, ignoring questions shouted by reporters.
After entering the not guilty pleas, Linn set bond at $20,000 and released Smollett on his own recognizance, ordering him to return to court March 18. He quickly left the courthouse with his supporters, again without recognizing questions.
RELATED Jussie Smollett indicted on six counts of disorderly conduct
Smollett -- who is black and openly gay -- was indicted this month by a special grand jury that accused him of filing false police reports in connection with a January 2019 incident in which he said he was attacked by two white men who looped a noose around his neck and poured bleach on him after taunting him with racial and homophobic remarks.
In a case that divided the nation along lines of race and sexual orientation, police ultimately said the incident was a hoax and that Smollett staged the assault to bolster his career, and charged him with 16 counts of disorderly conduct. Those charges were dropped a month later in a controversial move by Cook County State's Attorney Kim Foxx.
A Chicago judge subsequently accepted a petition to reopen the case and appointed former U.S. Attorney Dan Webb to lead a new inquiry. Following a six-month investigation, Webb announced the new charges.
RELATED Actor Jussie Smollett countersues police, city of Chicago
Smollett has maintained his innocence and said police have overlooked witnesses who corroborate his story.
Defense attorney Tina Glandian questioned the "integrity of the investigation" and said after the hearing she will file motions to have the case dismissed on grounds of double jeopardy -- being tried twice for the same crime.
Glandian also said the defense will challenge the legality of appointing a special prosecutor.
RELATED Vivica A. Fox on Jussie Smollett: 'He's always going to be family'
Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot said Sunday Smollett needs to take responsibility for damage caused to the city.
"He needs to face the charges," she said. "He committed a crime, and he needs to be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law, and we are going to continue to aggressively make him accountable for the wasted police resources that went into investigating what turned out to be a total hoax."

Nail-ed it.
Nail art aficianado Katy Perry rocked a manicure that looked positively presidential during Barack Obama’s “30 Days to Victory” fundraiser in L.A. Sunday night.
The “Part of Me” singer, 27, took to Twitter to show off her colorful tips, which she donned for her performance at the concert benefitting POTUS’ re-election campaign.
PHOTOS: Katy Perry's many, many hairstyles
“Appropriate nails,” she captioned the image of her patriotic manicure, boasting stars, stripes, and images of Obama’s face on four of her fingers.
Perry wasn’t the only A-list performer at the event Sunday evening; Jennifer Hudson, Jon Bon Jovi and Earth, Wind & Fire also performed, while Stevie Wonder brought the house down with his closing song.
“It was an incredible show,” Obama said in a speech following the concert. “These guys, and everybody here, are incredible professionals and such great friends, and they just perform flawlessly night after night.”
PHOTOS: Katy Perry's zaniest video looks
Referencing his own performance in the debate last Wednesday, Obama joked, “Uhm, I can’t say the same.”
Also on hand to help the President celebrate his big night? One of his biggest celeb supporters, George Clooney, who brought girlfriend Stacy Keibler as his date.

Miss Drake #9
Sarah Drake was born in Skeyton on 24 July 1803, the same area of Norfolk as the London University botanist John Lindley and went to school with Lindley's sister Anne. As a young woman, she went to Paris, where she probably studied painting as was expected of young women of the day. In 1830 "Ducky" (as she became known) moved into the Lindley home at Acton Green in London. She appears to have had a number of roles in the Lindley home, including that of governess, but eventually took up botanical art, gradually taking over from Lindley the illustration of his botanical publications. She created illustrations for his Sertum Orchidaceae, for example, as well as over 1000 illustrations for the horticultural magazine Edwards's Botanical Register, which Lindley edited from 1829 to 1847. More than 300 of these drawings were of orchids and Lindley named the Western Australian orchid genus Drakaea in her honour.

Quantum computing comes to energy with ExxonMobil IBM partnership
18th January 2019 (Last Updated December 23rd, 2019 10:02)
Quantum computing will help the American oil and gas company solve computationally challenging problems.
ExxonMobil has become the first energy company to join IBM to work on using quantum computing.
ExxonMobil has become the first energy company to join IBM to work on using quantum computing in its energy and manufacturing technologies.
The plan is that quantum computing will help the American oil and gas company solve computationally challenging problems such as optimising a country’s power grid.
It could also help in the discovery of new materials for better carbon capture, using better predictive environmental modelling and very accurate quantum chemistry calculations.
By partnering with IBM, ExxonMobil says it intends to develop its collaborative efforts toward new energy technologies, the improvement of energy efficiency and the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions.
Quantum computing surpasses today’s computers
“The scale and complexity of many challenges we face in our business surpass the limits of today’s traditional computers,” said Vijay Swarup, vice president of research and development for ExxonMobil Research and Engineering Company.
“Quantum computing can potentially provide us with capabilities to simulate nature and chemistry that we’ve never had before.
“As we continue our own research and development efforts in the areas of energy and chemical manufacturing, our agreement with IBM will allow us to expand our knowledge base and potentially apply new solutions in computing to further advance those efforts.”
IBM unveils first commercial quantum computer at CES 2019
CERN, which houses the largest particle physics laboratory in the world, also announced it would be working with IBM at CES 2019, to explore how quantum computing can be used to advance scientific understanding of the universe.
It will work with IBM in investigating how to apply quantum machine learning techniques to classify collisions in the Large Hadron Collider.
IBM also unveiled its first integrated universal approximate quantum computing system designed for scientific and commercial use at CES 2019.
But Winfried Hensinger, professor of quantum technologies at the University of Sussex, told The Verge: “It’s more like a stepping stone than a practical quantum computer.”
IBM Q explores the practical applications for quantum
IBM Q is the name of the initiative working on building quantum computers and developing scalable quantum systems and applications for business and science at IBM.
Strategy and ecosystem vice president at IBM Q Bob Sutor said: “As we continue to explore practical applications for quantum computing, it’s critical we partner with businesses and organizations from a variety of industries and disciplines.
“These organisations will work directly with IBM scientists, engineers and consultants to explore quantum computing for specific industries. They will have cloud-based access to IBM Q systems, as they work to discover real-world problems that may be solved faster or more efficiently with a quantum computer versus a classical computer.”
Computers that exploit the laws of quantum mechanics
IBM has brought quantum computing out of academia and into reality, with several quantum computers that need to be kept refrigerated to temperatures cooler than outer space.
Quantum states are fragile and subject to interference, so they need near-zero temperatures to operate.
The quantum computers work by the laws of quantum mechanics to evaluate 100 quadrillion states simultaneously.
In comparison a traditional computer works in binary, seeing only two states.
As an analogy, a quantum computer sees the possibilities of heads or tails while the tossed coin is still spinning in the air, and not just the outcome of how it lands.
Instead of solving problems in sequence like traditional computer chips, quantum computers solve multiple problems in parallel.
This can increase the speed of some processes, such as machine learning, and make artificial intelligence more intelligent.
But quantum computers are still experimental, and will require considerably more development before they will see significant real-world use.

A stretchable system that can harvest energy from human breathing and motion for use in wearable health-monitoring devices may be possible, according to an international team of researchers, led by Huanyu "Larry" Cheng, Dorothy Quiggle Career Development Professor in Penn State's Department of Engineering Science and Mechanics. The research team, with members from Penn State and Minjiang University and Nanjing University, both in China, recently published its results in Nano Energy.
According to Cheng, current versions of batteries and supercapacitors powering wearable and stretchable health-monitoring and diagnostic devices have many shortcomings, including low energy density and limited stretchability. For further information see the IDTechEx report on Supercapacitor Materials and Formats 2020-2040.
"This is something quite different than what we have worked on before, but it is a vital part of the equation," Cheng said, noting that his research group and collaborators tend to focus on developing the sensors in wearable devices. "While working on gas sensors and other wearable devices, we always need to combine these devices with a battery for powering. Using micro-supercapacitors gives us the ability to self-power the sensor without the need for a battery."
An alternative to batteries, micro-supercapacitors are energy storage devices that can complement or replace lithium-ion batteries in wearable devices. Micro-supercapacitors have a small footprint, high power density, and the ability to charge and discharge quickly. However, according to Cheng, when fabricated for wearable devices, conventional micro-supercapacitors have a "sandwich-like" stacked geometry that displays poor flexibility, long ion diffusion distances and a complex integration process when combined with wearable electronics.
This led Cheng and his team to explore alternative device architectures and integration processes to advance the use of micro-supercapacitors in wearable devices. They found that arranging micro-supercapacitor cells in a serpentine, island-bridge layout allows the configuration to stretch and bend at the bridges, while reducing deformation of the micro-supercapacitors — the islands. When combined, the structure becomes what the researchers refer to as "micro-supercapacitors arrays."
"By using an island-bridge design when connecting cells, the micro-supercapacitor arrays displayed increased stretchability and allowed for adjustable voltage outputs," Cheng said. "This allows the system to be reversibly stretched up to 100%."
By using non-layered, ultrathin zinc-phosphorus nanosheets and 3D laser-induced graphene foam — a highly porous, self-heating nanomaterial — to construct the island-bridge design of the cells, Cheng and his team saw drastic improvements in electric conductivity and the number of absorbed charged ions. This proved that these micro-supercapacitor arrays can charge and discharge efficiently and store the energy needed to power a wearable device.
The researchers also integrated the system with a triboelectric nanogenerator, an emerging technology that converts mechanical movement to electrical energy. This combination created a self-powered system.
"When we have this wireless charging module that's based on the triboelectric nanogenerator, we can harvest energy based on motion, such as bending your elbow or breathing and speaking," Cheng said. "We are able to use these everyday human motions to charge the micro-supercapacitors."
By combining this integrated system with a graphene-based strain sensor, the energy-storing micro-supercapacitor arrays — charged by the triboelectric nanogenerators — are able to power the sensor, Cheng said, showing the potential for this system to power wearable, stretchable devices.
