BkiUdSk4eIZijb56Ijjh | The IHS Markit manufacturing Purchasing Managers' Index (PMI) edged up to 53.9 points in August from July's 53.5 points. The index thus moved further above the critical 50-point threshold that separates expansion from contraction in business conditions in the manufacturing sector, where it has been for 15 months.
Stronger output growth and an acceleration in new orders were chiefly behind August's improvement. Both domestic and foreign client demand remained solid, while the rate of job creation picked up from the previous month. Meanwhile, backlogs fell slightly in August. Lastly, inflationary pressures softened to a three-month low in August, despite higher raw material prices.

BkiUd2Y4eIOjRwMTjRdy | Foreign Languages Major, B.A. (German Concentration)
Department of Literature and Language
Web Address: www.etsu.edu/cas/litlang
The Department of Literature and Language offers courses in French, German, Japanese, and Spanish designed to give the student a working knowledge of a language in the areas of reading, writing, listening and speaking, and to help create in students an appreciation and understanding of languages and cultures other than their own. In addition to the cultural objective and personal satisfaction, the student will find that foreign language study is an aid in scientific study, business, foreign trade, travel, and international politics.
Several programs of study leading to the B.A. in foreign languages are available. The traditional major, with concentrations in French, German, or Spanish, emphasizes the liberal arts training needed in a variety of jobs. These include library or museum work, general business, and teaching. These curricula are designed to help prepare students for employment in fields where knowledge of a foreign language is of particular advantage. In addition to the General Education Core Requirements, there are degree requirements in the College of Arts and Sciences outlined in the earlier pages of this section.
Placement: Placement in the appropriate level of foreign language, for those students with prior language experience entering ETSU, will be determined pursuant to the published policy statement of the Department of Literature and Language at ETSU. The statement is available on the departmental web site as well as from university offices such as the Advisement Resources Career Center.
Department of Literature and Language Students with no experience in a foreign language are encouraged to register in 1010. For students with prior experience in a foreign language, please follow the guidelines below:
1) French, German or Spanish: You must take the WebCAPE Foreign Language Placement Exam, available in the Testing Center of Sherrod Library. To schedule an exam, visit www.etsu.edu/students/cfaa/testing/
2) All other languages: See the instructor of that language for placement
* Note: The Foreign Language Placement Exam is for placement purposes only. Students do not receive college credit for Foreign Language courses they may place out of. In addition, students must complete a Foreign Language course at the 2020 level or higher in order to graduate with a B.A. Students pursuing a B.A. who are placed at a level higher than 2020 must still enroll in a 3000 level Foreign Language course to fulfill the requirement.
A minimum grade of C- (70%) is required in 1010, 1020, 2010, and 2020 to be able to take the next level of class in any foreign language. A student who gets any grade from D+ (69%) to F (59% and below) will have to retake that particular course in order to advance to the next level.
Laboratory Requirements: As part of the requirements for course credit for the 1000 and 2000 levels of foreign language study, students must complete online language laboratory work as assigned by instructor.
Foreign Students: International students whose native language is not English and whose admission to ETSU requires them to take a standardized test of English as a foreign language (e.g., TOEFL) may substitute scores that meet the admissions requirements for the foreign language requirement. Transfer Students-Students transferring to ETSU and wishing to receive a major or a minor in a foreign language must complete at least 12 credits of upper division courses for the major or nine credits of upper division courses for the minor at ETSU.
Students with 0-59 earned credits:

This will ensure that the student's previous work will be coordinated efficiently with ETSU requirements.

German Concentration
Web address: https://www.etsu.edu/cas/litlang/programs/german.php
Requirements for the different programs are as follows:
Traditional major in foreign languages, with concentrations in French, German, or Spanish - A minimum of 33 credits above the 1000 level, in the language of the concentration.
Coursework should be planned in consultation with the major advisor. Exit requirements for the major include only an exit exam.

BkiUeOXxK7IAE_K9yTLd | Minnesota Football: Thoughts on the Gophers' revised 2022 conference schedule
Minnesota's shuffled conference slate charts an intriguing path

The Big Ten announced revisions to the 2022 football schedule Monday morning, and the changes to the Golden Gophers' conference slate charted a new path that Minnesota will have to navigate if they hope to bring home the program's first Big Ten West division title.
The Gophers hit the road early in conference play
Minnesota fans were less enthused about a September date with the Hawkeyes, as that is a game that is won or lost in the trenches every year and would have been an early test for the Gophers' new-look offensive and defensive lines. Well, the Iowa game has been pushed back to November, but this may be a case of be careful what you wish for.
Instead, the Gophers open up conference play on the road at Michigan State, followed by a home game against Purdue. After a bye week, Minnesota will make back-to-back road trips to Illinois and Penn State. After their home game against the Boilermakers on October 1, the Gophers won't be back at Huntington Bank Stadium until October 29.
Originally, Minnesota would have opened the season with five consecutive home games, finishing out the year on the road for five of their final seven regular season games.
Michigan State and Purdue are tough early tests
Michigan State would seem to be a tough draw for the Gophers' Big Ten opener after head coach Mel Tucker served notice last season that the Spartans are back, finishing with a 11-2 record and earning a 10-year, $95 million contract extension. The Spartans were also 6-0 at home.
That said, Doak Walker Award-winning running back Kenneth Walker III is off to the NFL, as is wide receiver Jalen Nailor. Michigan State will also need to replace tight end Connor Heyward and three starters on the offensive line. Defensively, the Spartans only lose two starters. They'll present a stiff challenge for the Gophers right out of the gate in Big Ten play.
Purdue, even without wide receiver David Bell and defensive end George Karlaftis, will no doubt be a trendy pick to win the Big Ten West. They are coming off the program's first nine-win season since 2003, spurred by upset wins over No. 2-ranked Iowa and No. 3-ranked Michigan State. The emergence of quarterback Aidan O'Connell, a former walk-on, was one of the driving forces behind their success, as the Boilermakers boasted the 5th-ranked passing offense in the country. Most of the offense will return next season intact, including running back King Doerue, three starting offensive linemen, and four of Purdue's six top pass catchers.
It'll be a test for what is shaping up to be a veteran secondary for Minnesota next season, led by safeties Jordan Howden and Tyler Nubin. Justin Walley has locked down a starting cornerback spot after a breakout freshman season and he'll be joined by Abilene Christian cornerback and Western Kentucky slot corner Beanie Bishop. Getting pressure on O'Connell will be critical, and the Gophers will have to hope a defensive line sans Boye Mafe is up to the task.
November is sponsored by the Quadrangle of Hate
One thing is for certain: Minnesota will have a chance to win the Big Ten West in November or, at the very least, play the role of spoiler. Gone are road trips to Michigan State and Penn State. Those two dates have been replaced by a road game against Nebraska (Nov. 5) and a home game against Iowa (Nov. 19). The Gophers round out the month of November by hosting Northwestern (Nov. 12) and paying a visit to Wisconsin (Nov. 26).
Iowa and Wisconsin will be preseason contenders for the division crown. Nebraska is making a last-ditch effort to salvage Scott Frost's tenure, hoping last season's impressive 3-9 campaign and an overhauled offensive coaching staff can serve as a springboard to contention in the Big Ten West. I have my doubts about the state of Northwestern's program at the moment. But it's an even year, so count them out of the conversation at your own peril.
Personally, I didn't have a preference as to when Minnesota should play Iowa, but something feels right about finishing the regular season with back-to-back rivalry games. | commoncrawl | 5 | 1 | 5 | 2 |
BkiUf63xK1Thg98UiqTp | (1R)-1-[(4R,4aR,8aS)-2,6-bis(3,4-dimethylphenyl)tetrahydro[1,3]dioxino[5,4-d][1,3]dioxin-4-yl]ethane-1,2-diol
Based on measurements made for physical chemistry properties and qualitative observations for systemic toxicology, the test substance is considered to have only a low potential for absorption and bioaccumulation.
Bioaccumulation potential:
low bioaccumulation potential
The low water solubility of the substance (0.0476 mg/l), its relatively high molecular weight (414.49) and moderate water/octanol partition coefficient (Log Kow 2.78-3.5) indicates that, on balance, the test substance has a potential for low bioavailability.
The low potential for absorption via the gastro-intestinal tract is supported by the mild systemic effects apparent at high dosages in sub-acute and sub-chronic oral toxicity studies in rats.(Section 5.6.3) and the complete absence of effects following acute oral exposure (Section 5.2.3). A limited uptake via the lymphatic system cannot be excluded.
The test substance is a dimethyl benzylidene derivative of sorbitol, .The four ether bonds would be expected to be relatively stable, so the primary metabolic pathway would probably be via the oxidation of the sorbitol carbon chain to give diols, dicarboxylic acids or a combination of the two. . The residual benzylidine moiety, alcohols and carboxylic acids could be conjugated with glucuronic acid to give hydrophilic metabolites that would be readily excreted. None of the metabolites formed by these processes would be considered to have any genotoxic potential.
There is no toxicological evidence of distribution to the central nervous system, but the moderate water/octanol partition coefficient would indicate slight potential for tissue accumulation.
The absence of systemic effects following acute dermal exposure to the test material (Section 5.2.3) indicates that no significant absorption occurs through the skin, and the very low vapour pressure and modest particle size (median diameter 14µm) suggests that the air concentration of the substance available for absorption via the lungs would be low. | commoncrawl | 4 | 5 | 5 | 5 |
BkiUe0rxK3YB9i3RMzvE | As I have always said, I am a huge online shopper. Although most of the time, all I do is window shop. :p Anyway, let me share to you the latest product that I acquired online. This one's from Tmart.com, an online shop which offers a wide range of products from makeup sets, accessories, and bags to gadgets and consumer electronics. They literally have everything in their shop!
The product that I'll be reviewing is the Black PU Leather Handbag. I personally chose this product because I love classy and spacious handbags that never go out of style. They go well with any outfit – from casual to business. They can also carry everything you'll need for everyday.
Dimensions: 12.60" x 5.12" x 9.25"
My first impression about this product is that the PU leather material looks very nice. It does not look cheap at all considering that the product costs only around $11. The bag is very roomy too for all the things I usually put inside my bag such as my umbrella, glasses case, vanity kit, etc. I love too how the handle is very thick because I think bags with thin handles tend to deteriorate faster. It is also amazing how the bag keeps its box shape despite the weight of the contents.
Personally, I prefer bags that do not have zipper as an opening because it's too much hassle to open bags for security inspection at the mall or at the MRT or LRT, especially when I have books with me. This one is perfect for me because the main opening only has magnetic locks but it has two zipper enclosures in the middle and the side of the bag for my valuables. Moreover, it also has two pockets inside for cellular phones (although I do not recommend using it for that unless you're willing to give away your phone :p).
If there is anything I did not really love about the bag, it would probably be the lining inside. The fabric is not just very appealing to me. Aside from such fact, this product is very great considering that it is very affordable. Tmart also has tons of bags that would definitely suit everyone's taste. Check out the rest of their huge collection at Tmart.com!
looks beautiful. don't like the inside lining too! | c4 | 3 | 1 | 4 | 1 |
BkiUdow4eIZjwV-u5_hr | Gum disease is one of the most dangerous oral health conditions because it presents a slippery slope. Gingivitis is an early stage of gum disease, characterized by inflammation and swelling around the gum line. You may feel chronic discomfort and see acute redness around areas of your gum line. While this condition can be annoying and painful, it's only the beginning of your problems. Untreated gingivitis can eventually lead to periodontitis. This condition is irreversible and means a lifetime of management. Left unchecked, periodontitis leads to a deterioration of the jaw bone, and eventually, tooth loss.
How Do You Develop Gum Disease Initially?
The best way to avoid the problems that come with gingivitis is by stifling gum disease entirely. You may develop gum disease the same way you would develop a cavity. The bacterial film (plaque) that develops on the surfaces of your teeth can aggregate around your gum line. When the bacteria congregate beneath your gums, the infection develops and the inflammation begins to show up. Brushing and flossing around your gum line are vital practices that help you prevent gum disease from developing.
If you do develop gingivitis (or you need to manage your periodontitis), you have a treatment option to help. Scaling and root planing allows your dentist to access the area beneath the gum line and remove bacteria buildup. Your dentist will then smooth out the surfaces of your tooth roots (planing), which have likely suffered some degree of decay from the bacteria. While avoiding gum disease altogether is preferrable, know that the fight is not lost when you develop gingivitis.
If you have noticed inflammation around your gum line, you should seek help from a dentist as soon as possible. Regular checkups also allow your dentist to check for issues like gingivitis. Dr. Roberts and the Greenhaven team provide scaling and root planing treatment to help fight off gum disease and keep your mouth healthy.

BkiUdws5qX_BrrvEBo9a | Wonders of Nature and Miracles of Medicine
Presented by the History and Philosophy of Science and Technology Section
From its inception in 1936 until 1972 when it died as a weekly magazine, LIFE was one of the most potent single forces in shaping Americans" visual images of themselves and the world at large. Before television, only LIFE provided the general public with images that became so familiar they took on the status of icons. While people did see cheerleaders or nurses or doctors in their own lives or in their local newspapers, it was LIFE photography that created in the public"s eye such archetypes as The Cheerleader, The Army Nurse, or The Country Doctor. Ordinary Americans came to picture things around them as posed and framed by the photographers and editors of LIFE who somehow made their images seem more real than reality itself. And for people and things not readily observed in everyday life, LIFE"s photos were even more powerful in creating common images, whether of a celebrity like Marilyn Monroe or of a promising new device like the huge 2,000,000-volt linear accelerator hovering over a patient and touted as "fresh hope on cancer." This slide presentation draws upon Professor Hansen"s research on the media coverage of medical breakthroughs since the 1880s. One of the themes in this narrative is that the presentation of science in LIFE partook of a humane, yet materialistic outlook in which natural wonders and medical miracles prompted viewers" awe, but with no suggestion of mystery, purpose, or spirituality. Another point is that LIFE"s pioneering efforts to present contemporary science to a very broad public audience spurred the revival of Scientific American magazine and shaped its modus operandi.

BkiUdtk5qX_BxlWi8Q8B | I came to the interview with a prepared list of questions. You know, the typical ones. Tell us a little about the film. Share some funny moments with us. How is this film different, if at all? When I reached the venue where I was meeting the cast of Dobara Phir Se, I had to wait a bit. Actually, I had to wait an hour, and in that one hour, I saw the cast go through the same routine. Reporters walking in, asking questions, taking pictures against the same backdrop. It was 5 pm and I couldn't help but think that every possible question on the planet must have been asked by now. What was left to discuss?
Slowly and gradually, everyone – that would be Sanam, Hareem, Ali, Tooba and Adeel – returned to the interview room from their smoke break and settled in their seats. I gave them the good news: I wouldn't be asking about the film at all. I'd wait to see it. What I was interested in knowing was what the actors go through during film promotions. "We go through hell," said Hareem rather ominously. To which the gang suddenly started stirring in their seats. "First of all, mujhe barri khushi hui yeh sun ke. Yeh pehli bar kisi ne poocha hai, but please go ahead," said a very happy looking Ali Kazmi.
I asked them how many interviews they had done in the day? 6? Maybe 8. And another 8 the day before. Since these interviews spanned over a course of two days, which required them to sit from 12 pm till 6/7pm in an office, meeting blogger after blogger, journalist after journalist, I couldn't imagine how they were still sitting upright in their seats.
Here are some questions that had annoyed them, with replies that we assume they would have loved to respond with. Not that they did!
Q: What is the film about? A: Go watch the trailer man! It's a standard question but why would anyone give away the story?
Q: Share some funny moments from the shoot. A: We've shared the same three moments with over 17 people!
Q: What genre does the film fall in? A: Do your homework!
What are people most curious about?
"I think people want to know more about us, our personal lives and the chemistry between us," Tooba offered and we have to agree.
"People don't even want to see pictures of us on the set. I get more likes on photos at cafes or with my friends," said Ali, who also felt that when there are ensemble casts in a film, the curiosity increases further. He continued, "It doesn't happen very often so people want to know how well we get along, I mean we're of similar ages…" He was cut off by Hareem, who objected to being thrown in the same age bracket as everyone else. I don't know who's the youngest but Adeel, at almost 39, is probably the oldest.
Do the female actors reveal their age?
Of course this is a natural query for me because being a woman myself, I feel no need in hiding my age and have difficulty understanding those who do. "Contemporary artists don't do that anymore," said Ali while Sanam said that she is always open about her age, even though people ask her why.
"I got away with playing a college student in Ho Mann Jahaan and I'm almost 39 years old!" Adeel offered truthfully. Ladies and gentlemen, yes, Adeel is almost 39 years old.
Everyone will agree that the promotional tour for each film release actually has a huge role to play in its success. There are interviews, sessions, morning shows, radio shows, school and college tours and more.
Speaking of which, how many selfies do the artists have to take per event? 200 – 300 pictures a day? Everyone unanimously agreed on this number.
"You can't win with the selfie. If this was a good idea then some painter would have painted himself from this angle. But it's replacing the autograph now," said Adeel, who is perhaps the most philosophical person in the group. Normal people only take so many pictures on their wedding day and that process is actually physically exhausting. Don't these guys get tired of smiling for so many hours and looking their best?
"If you notice, I don't smile in my selfies," said Adeel.
I asked them if that was why they weren't smiling in their film's promotional poster, jokingly of course, and then I asked why Ali was the only smiling in this. "So was I! We had people write to us saying, matlab what's going on with Ali," Ali tried clarifying the confusion around this picture. "There were other pictures too but I guess this is the one they chose," concluded Tooba.
This is the film poster in question.
The conversation didn't end there but this story does. Keep following this space to read more fun anecdotes because eventually, the cast did share some personal details of their life with us. | c4 | 4 | 2 | 5 | 1 |
BkiUbag5qoYDgceei9vE | Hi, anyone out there have a Switch E6 in 5m size (one strut) & could offer an opinion on this kite for foiling please.
Also interested in this kites weight ?
Mmmmm, not much info around about this kite, got an approx weight from Switch - 1.7kg.
I'm a newbie foiler & my other/only kite is an 8m Drifter, I have had only about 5 foil sessions so far & have been overpowered everytime (when up on the foil) - wind was about 18-30 knots.
@ 73kg what wind range could be expected - foiling with a 5m kite please ?
I have a 4.8m strutless and in my 1 season experience should be ok subject to your kite skills.
At 30kn even smaller would be better.
Others may wish to advise their experience on the Switch kite.
Don't know the switch at all but an average 3 strut 5m kite for 73kg I'd say 16-24knots.
I'm 80kg and ride my Cloud 3.5 from 18-28. Don't be afraid to go small.
10.4m -7/ 8 kn to 12 kn 32m race lines can go higher but sweet spot.
4.8m 16kn to 24kn Apx as so far only done to about 20kn wind.
True range would be a little more but for me this is the sweet spot.
While range seems narrow I try for smallest kite for the session.
I think others would push the kites for a bigger range.
Hi Airsail, I haven't ridden the Ds yet, but follow much of the chatter of those who have. Power preferences vary quite a bit but I'd say 6.2. 8 if you like lots of power, possibly 4.8 if you're smooth on the foil.
Thanks guys, sounds like the 6.2 is the size. Been playing around modifying elements 1's to single strut and strutless and the advantages for foiling are clear. The elements aren't the best to start with as they are a bit overbuilt but they have been a good proving ground.
Without the struts they spin like a cloud and will relaunch ok as long as they are pumped up really hard.
Think it is time to buy a real one.
This may help as a guide - from Cloud website.
I had a 12m C2 a few years back & couldn't relaunch it (even in knee deep water), I wasn't foiling back then. How is the D_0 for relaunch, when you get water over the canopy ?
I'm thinking to get something with at least one strut to learn to foil on, could get a D_1 but they are out of my price range atm.
The D's are better for re-launch than C2's.
And D1's re-launch better the D0's.
But there is still a bit of trick to re-launching the 13.4 and 10.4 after the canopy is covered.
The 8's and below have no dramas.
Warwick has a D1 and loves it.
Not much difference is weight between his 8 D1 and my 8 D0.
But the D1 launches more easily than the D0 off the water. | c4 | 1 | 3 | 2 | 2 |

Bishop Castle is an incredible feat of one man's desire to singlehandedly build a fortress in the midst of the San Ysabel National Forest. Jim Bishop purchased the land in 1959 and began building his castle after he got married in 1967. He wanted to build a simple stone cabin for himself and his bride, but he never stopped building, and now the castle is a huge masterwork of turrets, crenellations, arches, and an enormous steam-producing dragon built from stainless steel plates.

BkiUeVzxK0zjCxh74XOQ | For John Simmons, it all started in the '60s
By Iris Schneider | March 27, 2016 11:45 PM
Democratic Convention, Chicago 1968. Photographs by John Simmons except portrait by Iris Schneider.
These days there is much that seems to divide us. But John Simmons, 65, a cinematographer by trade, has spent the past 50 years photographing the black community, and in the process has opened a window into daily life that makes those divisions melt away. Showing a broad swath of community life, the photographs provide a moving look at the moments shared between friends, lovers and family. The exhibit, It Started in the 60's, will be on view until April 10 at The Perfect Exposure gallery in Koreatown.
Growing up in Chicago, Simmons had dropped out of high school and was trying to make his way as a painter. Influenced by "The Sweet Flypaper of Life" by Langston Hughes, he was trying to capture daily life through painting, but putting all that he saw and felt on canvas was a struggle. A friend and mentor, Robert Sengstacke, who owned the newspaper The Chicago Daily Defender, put a camera in his hand and sent him out on the street. Suddenly, he found a medium that already had a frame built in. "I was able to be the artist I wanted to be," he said.
He came back and showed Sengstacke his images. "He said, 'Dang, buddy, You've got an eye,'" and Simmons was off and running. With images of black photographer Roy De Carava dancing in his head, he was determined to document life of and on the streets of Chicago. "Growing up in Chicago, two things can happen: the environment can force itself on you, or you can force yourself on the environment," Simmons said the other day. "I wanted to have a greater effect on the environment than the environment had on me." His photography got him a scholarship at Fisk University in Nashville where he stayed for 4 years. He then moved on to USC, where he studied cinematography.
But photography has stayed with him over the years. The images on display present the beauty and poetry of daily life, a glimpse out a window, the swagger on the street, an embrace in the shadows. He has photographed Nina Simone, Rahssan Roland Kirk, Archie Shepp and other musicians, as well as ordinary people, now all frozen in time.
Photographers "can't help but put a frame around the world we see," Simmons says. "We are continually composing...I feel that my pictures tell a story, each one has its own spirit and soul...I have an affinity in general for people, just looking not disturbing...For me, our paths converged for one brief second and whatever I shared with them at that moment will last forever."
His work is a moving tribute to the people he's encountered over the years, most living their lives in anonymity, up until this moment.

BkiUdog5qoYAxftPVlNs | Q: Regex to match character unless it is preceded by an odd number of another specific character Another way to state my problem is to match a character always when it is preceded by an even number (0, 2, 4, ...) of another specific character.
In my case I want to match all ' characters in string unless it is preceded by an odd number (1, 3, 5 ...) of ?
example:
- ?' => shouldn't match (preceded by one ?)
- ??' => Should match (preceded by 2 ?)
- ?????' => Shouldn't match (preceded by 5 ?)
Lets consider this scenario:
We have this string : ' ??' ????' ?' ??????' then the regex should match all ' characters in this case except for the 4th one, so for example if I want to use String.split(regex) the result would be ['', '??', '????', ?' '??????']
Currently I was using this regex: (?<!\?)', but the problem is that it matches only if there is no ? before '
A: You may use this regex with a lookbehind condition:
(?<=([^?]|^)(?:\?\?)*)'
RegEx Demo
RegEx Explanation
*
*(?<=: Start lookbehind condition
*
*([^?]|^): Match a non-? character or start
*(?:\?\?)*: Match 0 or more pairs of ?
*): End lookbehind condition
*': Match a '
A: You can use
/(?<=(?<!\?)(?:\?\?)*)'/g
See the regex demo. Details:
*
*(?<=(?<!\?)(?:\?\?)*) - a positive lookbehind that matches a location that is preceded with any zero or more occurrences of double ? not immediately preceded with another ?
*' - a ' char.
Sample code:
const texts = ["The ?' should not match","The ??' should match","?????' => The ?????' should not match"];
const rx = /(?<=(?<!\?)(?:\?\?)*)'/g
for (var text of texts) {
console.log(text, '=>', rx.test(text));
}
If you need replacing, it is possible with
const texts = ["The ?' should not match","The ??' should match","?????' => The ?????' should not match"];
const rx = /(?<=(?<!\?)(?:\?\?)*)'/g
for (var text of texts) {
console.log(text, '=>', text.replace(rx, '<MATCH>$&</MATCH>'));
}

BkiUeF44ubnjopEPv_p7 | Just wanted you give ya a heads up that this creamy bowl of spicy-sweet soup-y goodness is sponsored by my friends over at Better Body Foods!
It's FINALLY winter squash season!
If you follow me on Instagram, you would know that I am HIGHLY obsessed with squash. Kabocha squash actually. And "obsessed" as in I literally drove miles and miles to find somewhere that carries it year 'round, and I've been ordering it BY THE CASE all year.
I can't only eat my favorite food during ONE SEASON. That would be a travesty with a capital SAD.
We're actually not talking about kabocha squash today. Although we COULD talk about Kabocha squash soup in the slow cooker.
Mostly because I love it so much that I want to eat it the same way every day: roasted kabocha squash with peanut sauce (if you click that link, I apologize for the REALLY OLD PHOTOS.) Aaaand, I don't want to risk messing up my favorite food by blending it.
Whichhh is where my 2nd favorite sweet, winter squash friend comes in: acorn squash.
Don't get me wrong or anything peeps. Roasted acorn squash by itself? ALSO tastes very good in my mouth. But, when you give it a healthy hug of superfood coconut oil, roast it to tender, creamy perfection and then blend it all up with zesty onion and SUPER flavorful roasted garlic into velvety-smooth soup? THAT'S THE GOOD STUFF.
Same goes with butternut squash. Pass me a bowl of paleo vegan butternut squash soup ALL DAY.
We didn't even talk about the smoky-spicy-sweet combination of flavors that are layering themselves throughout this entire pot of fall-food-goodness that is going to make your house smell, LIIIIIKE, SO amazing.
I know that we had Moroccan cauliflower soup last year, which was followed by Moroccan instant pot hearty vegetable beef soup….aaaaaand Moroccan style paleo pork chops, a Moroccan chicken skillet AND paleo grilled Moroccan chicken bowls. There is just SOMETHING about mixing together a pinch of smoky paprika, spicy cumin, warm ginger and (my favorite flavor ever) cinnamon that makes EVERYTHING better, and I won't apologize for being obsessed with deliciousness.
I obsess like it's MY JOB.
In other news: LIQUID coconut oil. As in coconut oil that isn't ALWAYS annoyingly hard that ONE time that you actually want it to be smooth and runny. As in, SUCH a brilliant food invention from Better Body Foods that's gonna make you say YAAAAAAAAAS.
But, there IS such a thing as TOO much goin' on inside my mouth. This leads to taste buds confusion.
I don't even need to tell you this is a VRY VRY bad thing indeed.
In other news (the sequel) DATES. Like, boiled until they're UBER soft, and blended INSIDE the soup.
And you thought dates were only for boring old energy bites.
Your NEWEST favorite addition to soup everrrrrr.
Your least favorite addition to soup everrrrr, due to weird chewy, chunky, not-so-smooth pieces of dates in your teeth. Blech.
I am EXTREMELY happy to report that option 1 was the winner. Dates (naturally!) amp up the sweetness of the acorn squash, play RLY nice with the spicy-warm-sensation that shimmies down the back of your throat, AND gives this sauce a thick, full-bodied creaminess that is about to make your cozy-dinner-loving self VERY happy right now.
Pssst: it's also a feel-good, good-for-you soup that is WHOLE30 compliant.
This easy, roasted acorn squash soup is bursting with spicy, Moroccan flavor and is sweetened with dates! It's a healthy, whole30 compliant, paleo and vegan friendly meal for only 200 calories!
Preheat your oven to 400 degrees and line a large baking sheet with tin foil.
Cut the squash in half and scrape out the seeds. Place it cut side up on the baking sheet. Try to make sure that the cut sides stay facing straight up, and the squash doesn't fall onto its side.
Chop the onion in half lengthwise. Slice off one of the ends so that you loosen the papery outside coating, and peel it off. Do not cut the other end of the onion off, or it won't hold together. Place it cut-side up on the baking sheet.
Drizzle 1 Tbsp of the coconut oil over the squash (so 1/2 Tbsp of oil per each side) and rub in. Then, drizzle 1 tsp of the oil over the onion (1/2 tsp per each side of the onion) and rub in.
In a small bowl, combine the cumin, cinnamon, salt, smoked paprika and allspice. Divide it evenly between both halves of the squash and onion, rubbing in gently. Make sure you get ALL the spice mixture on the vegetables.
Place two layers of tin foil on top of each other (shiny side in!) Cut the top of the garlic head off and place it in the center of the tinfoil. Drizzle the remaining 1 tsp of coconut oil on the garlic, rub it in and then fold the tinfoil around it to create a packet. Place onto the baking sheet.
Bake until the squash and onion are fork tender, about 50 mins to an hour.
While the vegetables roast, place the vegetable broth and chopped dates into a medium pot and bring to a boil on high heat.
Once boiling, boil for 1 minute. Then, reduce the heat to medium and simmer until the dates are very soft, about 10 minutes. Remove from heat and let sit until the vegetables are done.
Scrape the flesh of the roasted squash into a high-powered blender (don't get the skin in there) and then add in the whole onion. Peel the tinfoil off the garlic head and squeeze the softened garlic out of the cloves into the blender as well.
Add the ginger, along with the softened dates and vegetable broth into the blender. Blend until smooth and and creamy, scraping down the sides as necessary. Taste and adjust ginger and salt if necessary.
Pour into bowls, garnish with cilantro and pepitas and DEVOUR.
*I really like ginger, and so does Mr. FFF. We thought 2 tsp was perfect, but a FEW of this co-workers thought it was just a touch strong. I suggest adding 1 1/2 tsp, tasting and adding more if needed.

I want a big bowl of this right now!! So cozy and scrumptious!
I am so excited to get to the market when I finally get home tonight! I need to get the squash love gong in my house, like this delicious soup!
YES! The squash love is REAL! Thanks lady! Miss you!
This soup looks so good, and it's so cold here right now I wish I could snuggle up with a bowl for lunch!
I wish that I could send you some! Thank you Sarah!
This looks so good! Perfect for fall!
Ooooo what a cool idea for soup! Love the Moroccan spices!
Thank you Alia! It's my favorite flavors!
Looks and sounds perfect for the fall, if we ever get it here in CA??
Haha RIGHT? It's 82 degrees in Seattle and I'm like WHAT!
Ok I need to make fall soup this year! Last year I was too scared off by the hot weather, but this year I'm doing it! And this one looks like perfection!
YES! I didn't really do soup last year either, and so regretted it! DO IT.
Liquid coconut oil??? Yes!!!! What a great idea. I can't wait to give this a try. Such a wonderful way to use it. The acorn squash looks nothing short of dreamy!
Isn't it brilliant?! Thanks Julie!
I love a good creamy soup! The best part about squash is that it doesn't need "cream" to be creamy! Love that coconut oil…It's always frustrating in the winter to have to melt it.
Right!? That's my favorite too!!
I know! This solves that problem in the best way!
I don't know what to rave over more, this recipe or your photos! They are absolutely stunning.
You are so sweet! Thank you Maria!!
Squash soup is one of my favorite things ever! I usually use butternut, but acorn is a great idea too! Love the spices in there!
Mine too! I love it so! Thanks Jenn!
I haven't had acorn squash YET this fall… Granted it's been fall for like 3 days – haha!
Oh no! 🙁 That is SO sad!!! I hope you still get a chance to try this!
This soup looks amazing! I just made a root vegetable soup the other day! Perfect for the changing weather!
Yes! I LOVE me some root veggies! Thanks!
I love cooking with acorn squash in the Fall & Winter but I've never made a soup with it! And I love your use of dates- so creative!
You SO need to try it in a soup AND using dates! I think you'll love! 🙂 Thaks!
Squash with all of those warm spices is one of my favorite things about fall!!
You and me both Brenda! Thanks!
My kabocha obsession is UNREAL. No, my sweet potato obsession is UNREAL! LOL! How about both?? Oddly enough, I don't find acorn squash nearly as appealing, but hopefully this soup would help me think otherwise!
This is one of the BEST soups I have ever made! I never remake recipes but this is one that I going to have to make over and over again. So fantastic and healthy! Thank you.
That's great Rebekah! So glad you are enjoying this soup!
I made this last night. I love the flavor combination but it was way too sweet. I actually couldn't serve it and plan on making a second batch tonight without the dates and mixing the two batches together.
I'm sorry! everyone's taste buds are so different – I've had many people who love it!
I was so excited to try this and I followed the recipe to a T…but it was WAY over-spiced. I didn't even finish using all of the spice mix I made because the veggies had so much spice on them already. It was rendered inedible unfortunately. Did i miss something? I wanted to love this!
Hi Danielle! Either we just have very different taste buds (which is totally normal!) or maybe you didn't use a big enough acorn squash/onion so the flavors were more concentrated? Either way, I'm sorry you didn't like it! You might prefer it with half the spices! | c4 | 1 | 1 | 3 | 1 |
BkiUceA4ubnjop7FEoGI | New government legislation aims to increase protection for landlords and tenants from rogue agents. The amendment to the Enterprise and Regulatory Reform Bill hopes to bring more letting agents in line.
All lettings agents must soon be registered with a redress scheme approved by the government. The scheme provides landlord advice, compensatory awards and a new complaints procedure. Most agents are perfectly credible; it is the rogue agents who are giving the industry a bad name. Any protection offered to landlords against rogue agents is undoubtedly a step in the right direction.
Rogue lettings agents engage in some extremely unprofessional practices and have a tendency to completely overcharge landlords, creating huge problems for tenants. It is crucial that landlords do their research before entering into any kind of business with a lettings agent. Despite the legal changes, no formal schemes will be in place for a few months, so it is worth checking that letting agents are members of an ombudsman scheme. When the legislation comes into force all reputable lettings agents should commit to a scheme.
Landlords should beware of any agents who aren't members of a redress scheme. Doing business with an unregulated agent means that landlords will not be able to seek redress. It is also advisable to seek landlord advice on money protection and indemnity insurance, as the latest legislation is not currently far reaching enough to cover these areas in the lettings industry.
It may be some time before the industry is regulated to an extent that it will protect landlords completely from rogue agents. Until then, it is important that landlords protect themselves from unscrupulous lettings agents. Seeking landlord advice from colleagues and recommendations from those in the industry with experience of lettings agents may help you avoid problems.
It is worth reiterating that landlords should always find out whether an agent has voluntarily chosen to become a member of a regulatory scheme or if they are completely self-regulated. It usually becomes apparent that a lettings agent is a safe bet when you make some enquiries about their credibility and professional commitment. If they offer direct answers and show their professional affiliations and a high degree of transparency, then this is usually a good sign. Most lettings agents are true professionals, landlords just need to be aware of the ones who slip through the net. | c4 | 5 | 1 | 5 | 2 |
BkiUbbvxK0zjCxh71o0D | Clinique All About Eyes is a lightweight cream/gel that is designed to reduce fine lines, puffiness and dark circles. This cream is to be used morning and evening daily.
Apparently it should also help makeup around the eyes last longer, as it acts a little like a foundation primer.
Clinique don't go into much detail about this cream/gel, it just says what it does, but not how it actually does it. There is no scientific explanation, or nothing!
Cyclomethicone polysilicone-11, purified water, isostearyl palmitate, polyethylene, butylene glycol, cyclomethicone, ethylene/acrylic acid copolymer, saxifraga sarmentosa extract, grape extract, shey protein, mulberry root extract, caffeine, phytosphingosine, wheat sphingolipids, scutellaria baiccalensis extract, green olive extract, green tea extract, cholesterol, linoleic acid, tocopheryl acetate, magnesium ascorbyl phosphate, pyridoxine diplamitate, sucrose, glyceryl laurate, lactose, dimethicone xopolyol, quaternium-18 bentonite, petrolatum, cetyl dimethicone copolyol, propylene carbonate, sodium chloride, disodium edta, iron oxides.
When using eye creams put a small amount on finger tips and gently tap around, from the inner corner of the eye around to just underneath the eye brow. Using this gentle moment stops pulling on the skin, hopefully preventing the appearance of fine lines.
Most users really like this eye cream because it is moisturizing and reduced their dark circles.
However, there are a few people who think it is expensive for $28.50 (0.5 oz), they would prefer a eye cream that contains an SPF.
This eye cream could be worth a try as most users found it to be effective.
Clinique Quick Corrector is a concealer is designed to give a natural medium coverage to any imperfections.
What sets this apart from other concealers is that it is a liquid formula and comes in a lip gloss like vial with a sponge tip applicator.
As it is a liquid it should make it easier to blend and make it less likely to crease, unlike some of the cream concealers.
I think Clinique is a reasonably good brand, although from personal experience I wouldn't go singing its praises. I have only tried a couple of products but didn't work for me.
It can be a little over priced, but I know Clinique works for a lot of people who won't use anything else.
I cannot find a complete list of ingredients for this product.
According to most users this liquid concealer covers blemishes, blends well and is quick and easy to use. A lot of ladies like to keep this in their handbag for quick touch ups while they're out and about.
A few users complained that it is too orangey for their skin tone.
It is hard to pick a concealer that matches your skin tone because a lot of the products out their seem to have a yellow/orange undertone, which is not suited for people who have a more pinkish undertone.
A porcelain colored concealer is usually better suited for people with a pink undertone.
The price is very acceptable at $14, making this concealer one of the cheapest ones I have reviewed so far!
Clinique Dramatically Different Moisturizing Gel is a lightweight daily facial moisturizer. Amazon customers have praised the moisturizer for being an excellent gel to control those unsightly breakouts we all hate.
Clinique has labeled it for use on all skin types but everyone's skin is different. Some users with dry skin said that it wasn't moisturizing enough for them and in some cases dried their skin out. It does contain alcohol which can cause a drying affect.
This moisturizing gel is oil free, that's one reason why it is a good choice for skin prone to break-outs. More oil will just block pores and encourage pimples and black heads.
Some of you will be glad to hear that it is fragrance free. It also has a delightful pump dispenser which stops the build up of bacteria.
The down side is that Clinique has not added an SPF to this gel, so it won't provide any sun protection.
Several users have said that the gel is light, non-sticky and absorbs quickly, that's good because I hate it when you have that sticky feeling after applying moisturizer. Also a little goes a long way so gentle pumping ladies!
This product contains a lot of synthetic chemical ingredients, so not ideal for those who are eco-friendly or drawn towards natural products.
It comes in at a very reasonable $14.50-$28 (1.7oz/4.2oz) a pop, so it won't break the bank.

BkiUfRDxK7FjYEB4XYQY | Kansas State Releases Infamous Halftime Show Blueprint: Yikes, It's Even Worse
Rick Chandler 07:32 pm, September 08th, 2015
Kansas State has fined itself $5,000, and its marching band director has been suspended, for a halftime show in which some perceived the Kansas Jayhawk giving the Starship Enterprise a blowjob. That's the main fault with American education: all the fictional space sex acts. But with diligence, we'll get through this.
The theme was supposed to be "Outer Space", but somehow a badly-formed spaceship was looking a lot like a penis and heading directly into the mouth of the Kansas Jayhaws mascot, in this case a chicken.
Kansas State immediately offered an apology, even though band director Frank Tracz says that it was an innocent mistake. Many on Twitter also contend that dirty-minded people read too much into the performance, and that the band should be criticized for nothing more than a sloppy formation.
Tracz even released the plans of the show, proving, he says, their innocence. But, um, as you see above, that blueprint isn't helping. Mascot porn!
Anyway, K-State self-imposed the fine, and the suspension -- Tracz will not attend the game against Kansas on Nov. 28.
We pleaded with the Wildcats to use Lucasfilm on this, but apparently it wasn't in the budget.
Let's break down the blueprint action.
-- The Enterprise, looking sleek and impressive in a Commodore dot-matrix printer sort of way, has exhausted its phasers and photon torpedoes and so it's RAMMING TIME.
-- The Kansas Jayjawk, alias giant space chicken, roars its disapproval.
-- The main action is centered on the right hashmark, per NCAA rules. If this were an NFL space mascot halftime show, the attack could take place in the middle of the field.
-- Auxillary band members are stationed on the sideline (bottom left and right) in case others drop out, faint, or flee.
-- Suddenly, porn music blares through the loudspeakers.
-- The sudden, unexpected forbidden love between a poorly-organized spaceship formation and giant space poultry is on display for all to see.
-- Mothers cover children's eyes and hurry, slumped over, toward exits.
-- More band members rush onto the field to "scramble" the image, just like the cable sex channels on your TV when you were a kid.
-- The University of South Dakota wonders how it got involved in any of this. | commoncrawl | 4 | 1 | 4 | 2 |

Kodak Black Pleads Guilty In Gun Case
by Joseph Leveston
Greetings and salutations, family. Call the aunties because it seems as though Kodak Black will be, in fact facing charges in a federal weapons case in which he stood trial over. Sources report that in May of this year, Kodak was charged with falsifying information for the purchase of three firearms. Within that same month, a U.S. District Court judge labeled him as a "danger to the community" and was detained until trial. To this day, he remains in custody. Kodak initially entered a plea of innocent, even though he entered a guilty plea during a hearing in Miami court Thursday.
Prosecutors have also speculated that one of the guns found on the scene of a shooting occurring in March was purchased by Kodak with the aforementioned falsified applications. His sentencing has been set for Nov. 13th. It has been suggested that racial profiling was at the epicenter of Kodak's arrest, as assumed by his team. According to attorney Bradford Cohen in an interview with TMZ, the police looked into his client's record without a warrant. Cohen also reported that there was an undercover detective in the store the same day that Kodak purchased his firearms but why? What probable cause could there have been for an undercover detective to have been there the same day that Kodak purchased his firearms. It definitely alludes to foul play.
Kodak was arrested at the Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens May 11th, moments before he was slated to perform at Rolling Loud. He's facing being charged for making a false statement in connection with the acquisition of a firearm, the max penalty being 10 years with three years of supervised release although prosecutors have stayed that they'll push for a lighter sentence than the maximum based on Kodak's cooperation thus far. Let me just say this: even after it has been proven time and time again that the Black community isn't an overall danger as Kodak has been labeled, here he is being threatened with the maximum penalty for what "anyone else" would have received a slap on the wrist for. Will Kodak serve 10 years in prison? Absolutely not because it's been proven time and time again that money can and will get you out of any real trouble.
Let's think about the flip side, though. What if he weren't famous? What if he didn't have access to the money that he has? I think we all know the answer to these questions. If he's proven to have actually falsified these documents, then he should be held accountable. HOWEVER <comma> we all know that because of the melanin in which his skin possesses, he'll be judged in a harsher manner because since the beginning of American civilization, anyone darker than khaki was and is still believed to be a threat to those in power. Kodak Black, you have my prayers because in all honesty, this shouldn't even be a story.
With all that's going on in the world that actually threatens and continuously tears at the already tattered fabric of American society, how is Kodak Black allegedly falsifying documents to buy firearms even measure up to that when we literally have government officials lying to our faces? The person that most of white America elected to run the country (I'm not calling him the President, I just simply refuse) has lied the entire time he's been in office, has been proven to have lied and yet he's still there sending us to hell in a hand basket. With all of that currently happening, Kodak Black somehow is being given this type of attention.
I know the Hoteps are notorious for saying that we're being distracted but this is one of the few times that I actually agree with them because, no shade, Kodak Black isn't famous enough for this to even matter but anything to take attention from the bigger picture, I suppose. I'm not even going to say "stay woke" because that phrase is meaningless at this point but what I will say is be ye not so easily swayed from those things that threaten our peace. Blessings...

When it comes to investing everyone starts at the same place. $1. Without the first dollar invested compound interest is only a theory. Most people begin investing when it does not make good financial sense. Typically in the form of a 401k or some other type of qualified retirement plan and usually this is shortly after obtaining their first job in the "real world". The point in time when adult responsibilities are piling up faster than you can spell R-E-T-I-R-E-M-E_N-T. However, as those that prolong this decision eventually find out, there is no good time to start investing because those responsibilities only increase as the days, weeks, months, years and decades pass.
In reality, the best time to start investing is now – regardless of your responsibilities. However, the investment is not with the first dollar but with prayer. Unlike the stock market, when we don't invest in prayer we can still lose. And the price is more than losing every invested dollar ever put into every retirement plan in the world.
Praying is not nearly as complicated as investing in the stock market. The words do not matter, but the heart does. If you do not know how to pray don't worry about it. God will listen intently anyway. He isn't worried about how elegant you are. He simply wants a relationship with you. But as with any relationship, you only get out of it what you are willing to put in.
God promises to give us a future and hope. So do not wait to start investing in your future. Start now by lifting a prayer to God. And once you start, do not stop. Just as investing in the stock market, it may take a while to see the returns, but they are worth it. I promise the return is more profitable than any other investment.

Ford announces that all of its vehicles on sale in Europe will be electric by the year 2030
Global manufacturers seek to develop zero-emission vehicles as looming emissions target enforcements and bans are on the horizon
published on February 18, 2021 Go To Comments
Ford Motor Company is an American multinational automaker that has its main headquarters in Dearborn, Michigan, a suburb of Detroit. It was founded by Henry Ford and incorporated on June 16, 1903. The company sells automobiles and commercial vehicles under the Ford brand and most luxury cars under the Lincoln brand.
Ford has joined the on-going all-electric race by announcing that all its vehicles in Europe will be electric by 2030.
Every vehicle will feature an electric or plug-in hybrid powertrain by 2026, ahead of the company switching its entire range of vehicles to fully electric four years after.
The Detroit giant plans to invest at least USD 22 Billion in electrification through 2025, which is close to twice what the company had previously planned.
Ford also plans to have its entire commercial range 100% zero-emissions capable, all-electric or plug-in hybrid by 2024.
This includes a USD 1 Billion cash boost to modernize its vehicle-assembly facility in Cologne, Germany, with its first European-built, volume all-electric passenger vehicle to be produced at the site from 2023.
This is the latest move by the world's biggest auto manufacturers to set out plans to move away from polluting internal combustion engines before looming bans on fossil-fuel vehicles across the world.
GM already announced plans to have an entirely zero-emission lineup by 2035 and Jaguar also plans for its cars to be electric-only by 2025.

BkiUd0M5qWTD6hUhkqPf | Free Synthetic Aperture Radar data can be some of the hardest to find, but it is out there if you look hard enough. These products are often provided in CEOS or other formats and there are a variety of tools available for working with the data.
The most common way to receive SAR data, is a sensor on a satellite. The family of satellites that have carried, are carrying, or will be carrying SAR sensors for commercial applications are presented below (Figure 1).
All satellites equipped with SAR sensors orbit the Earth on a near-polar orbit at an altitude ranging from 500 to 800km above the Earth's surface, depending on the satellite platform hosting the SAR sensor. The time taken for a satellite to re-pass over the same area is called the 'revisiting time'.
The angle between true north-south and the satellite orbit varies slightly, depending on the satellite, but in general lies in the range of 10 degrees. The circumpolar orbits of all SAR satellites mean that for half of their trajectory they are traveling from the north pole towards the south pole. This direction is referred to as a descending orbit. Conversely, when the satellite is traveling from the south pole towards the north pole, it is said to be in an ascending orbit (Figure 2).
AIRMOSS – North American SAR coverage (via plane). There are 2-3 campaigns per year (depending on the length of the site's growing season). During each site campaign, AirMOSS will collect data at least three times over a 10-15 day period to quantify evaporative and transpiration processes occurring at finer time scales over the study areas.
AIRSAR – contains a wide range of data, covering different parts of the Earth (via plane). The first mission started at 1990 year, and finished in 2003. So, the ASF API provides access to this historical data, which not updating.
ALOS – Japan satellite ALOS was launched in 2006. The satellite contained three sensors that were used for cartography and disaster monitoring of Asia and the Pacific (PRISM, AVNIR-2, PALSAR). In April 2011, the satellite was found to have switched itself into power-saving mode due to deterioration of its solar arrays. Its successor (ALOS-2) – was successfully launched in 2014, ALOS-2/CIRC data available here, all rasters have resolution 2m - 10m.
ERS (ERS-1, ERS-2) – ERS-1 and ERS–2, were launched into the same orbit in 1991 and 1995 respectively with spatial resolution 30m. Both satellite deorbited. The similar to these satellites, ENVISAT, finished mission in 2012, due to losing connection.
JERS-1 – was launched in 1992 from Tanegashima Space Center, and deorbited in 1998 due to techincal problems, had 30m resolution.
RADARSAT-1 – a Canadian satellite, now it is inactive.
SEASAT – Seasat was the first satellite designed for remote sensing of the Earth's oceans with synthetic aperture radar. Its mission started and finished in 1978.
UAVSAR – Similar plain mission to AIRMOSS and AIRSAR.
This briefly analysis shows that ASF API provides really old or hardly refreshable data. The description of some products was not found, but it was found that this sources are old and can be used for historical research only.
PAZ/TerraSAR-X – The German TerraSAR-X satellite was launched in 2007 and reliably delivers high-resolution radar data for versatile applications to customers around the world. PAZ is the first Spanish radar satellite designed as a dual-use mission to meet operational requirements, mainly of a defence and security nature, but also high-resolution civil applications. The data is not available for free, though it it possible to observe, order or to request necessary data, also it is possible to become a commercial partner.
COSMO-SkyMed – data is not available for public access, but it is possible to order products.
SENTINEL-1/SENTINEL-2 – all products are availble in the Sentinel Scientific Data Hub.
RADARSAT-2 – it is possible to order data.
These satellites have the spatial resolution up to 1m.
What is in the end? ASF API is a sort of SAR data sources aggregation. The only public actual data (free and in public sources, found during this small research) is provided by ALOS-2 satellite, but, there are no sources (or were not found) providing the daily whole earth coverage.
NOTE: it is possible that not all available sources are mentioned here, comments below the post are highly appreciated.

BkiUdsnxK7IAG1E_0Jpz | 2014 Year in Review: July
A frustrating loss to the Whitecaps and a blowout loss to the Galaxy sandwiched a pair of satisfying wins over the Timbers and a heart-warming friendly.
By Jeremiah Oshan@JeremiahOshan Dec 15, 2014, 9:00am PST
Share All sharing options for: 2014 Year in Review: July
Steven Bisig-USA TODAY Sports
In most of the soccer world, July is a month reserved for international competition. That was especially true this year when there was that little tournament being played in Brazil. Sure, there were only 16 of the 32 teams still playing by that time, but they were big, big games being played. Probably the biggest games in the soccer world this year, if you want to get all hyperbolic about it.
Well, the Sounders -- and the rest of MLS -- had some games of their own to play. The results were decidedly mixed.
The Sounders opened the month with an absolute dud against the Vancouver Whitecaps. They closed it with that craptastic 3-0 loss at home to the LA Galaxy. But in between ... oh, man, there were some good times. It wasn't just eliminating the Portland Timbers from the U.S. Open Cup -- in glorious fashion, but we'll get to that later -- or that they followed it up a few days later with another win over their most hated rivals, but this was also the month of Xander Bailey's heart-warming appearance.
July 5: Whitecaps 1, Sounders 0
Obafemi Martins was out, Osvaldo Alonso was out, DeAndre Yedlin was out, Gonzalo Pineda was out, Clint Dempsey was out. There were a lot of very good players out for the Sounders. Sebastien Fernandez scored in the 12th minute on an absolute rocket, Stefan Frei came up with a couple big saves and the Sounders didn't look particularly dangerous. If I'm being completely honest, even after watching these highlights, I barely remember this game. Let's just call it forgettable.
July 9: Sounders 3, Timbers (AET)
Nothing quite salve the wound of a loss to a rival than beating your other big rival in an elimination tournament. You may remember, though, that the Sounders didn't just win this game, they ripped the Timbers' hearts out, showed it to them, took a big wide bite, put it back in and ripped it out again. It was glorious.
To recap, Alonso opened the scoring with a flying-ninja kick goal. It was awesome. Let's watch it:
Then the lights went out. Seriously, the lights went out. But the two sides played on and the Sounders were, admittedly a bit on the ropes. Just before the final whistle, Darlington Nagbe grabbed the equalizer and sent the game into extra time. Momentum seemed to be on the side of the Timbers.
But then Diego Chara committed a stupid foul, got red-carded and the Sounders scored a couple goals to win rather handily. It was, in fact, better than winning in a blowout. What made it better was Caleb Porter's delusional reaction.
July 13: Sounders 2, Timbers 0
Even better? The Sounders only needed to wait four days before handing the Timbers another loss. It wasn't quite as "rip out their heart, show it, eat it, put it back and rip it again"-y, but it was still pretty satisfying. Clint Dempsey, back from World Cup duty, got the winner when Will Johnson fell asleep and kept him onside and Marco Pappa sealed it with his second goal of the week. Pappa's goal, provided this memorable moment:
July 19: Sounders 3, Tottenham 3
I wouldn't normally include a friendly in this recap, but this was too good to ignore. The entire Xander Bailey story was really heartwarming. The way he signed with the team earlier in the week, trained with them and even started the game were all great touches. But what really brought the entire thing together was Sounders fans who went out of their way to make Bailey feel special. From the tifo to the cheers, it was a day Bailey will surely never forget.
This game was not without actual highlights, though. Alonso's 35-yard blast really deserves to be seen again.
July 28: Sounders 0, Galaxy 3
Ugh. Not sure what else to say here. It was 3-0 at halftime and the Sounders were never really in this game. It was the first time that I think a lot of Sounders fans started to have serious concerns about what this team was capable of doing and it was when questions started to arise about another collapse. Considering what had all the positivity over the previous three weeks, it was a gut punch and the first real test the Sounders would face.
Other notes from the month
The United States only got to play one game in July, the 2-1 overtime loss to Belgium in the World Cup Round of 16. One of the few bright spots from that game, though, was supplied by Yedlin. After subbing on for an injured Fabian Johnson, Yedlin held his own against Eden Hazard and even got the best of the Belgian dynamo a few times. This video recaps it nicely:
DeAndre Yedlin vs. Belgium from Rob Usry on Vimeo.
I don't know what the numbers said, but I feel like this was when Pappa started to come into his own. The two goals against the Timbers were both great and he was asserting himself more and more in the offense. As frustrating as it was to be without Dempsey and Martins for a time, their absence also allowed Pappa to shoulder more of the offense and he reacted well.

BkiUbuvxaL3SuhOomRn- | @elia re: opal-cannonbol, no errors, all tests pass. Its just seems like it is deliverying the code differently than say opal-jquery. opal-jquery comes down to the browser as a separate request, but opal-cannonbol seems to be bundled up inside the main app.
@elia, Its NOT messing up! I just don't understand how it works. I see no dfference between a gem that runs the code on the server and a gem that runs the code in opal! The only differences I see is that opal is required in the gemspec (makes sense) and the rake file has this extra "dist" task.
So how can the gem release process "know" to do the right thing with the code??
nah I don't get it at all.
so for a static build, or non rails environment, we just need a manual Opal.load('application') which does the bootstrapping?
@elia, yes understood... that is the same code in my gem (stolen from this file in fact.) Understand that it includes different things depending... Just did not quite believe the magic that lets opal get the files compiled etc. just because they are there... I guess I would like to understand better!
@catmando whoa, what time exactly?
right, so when I do a require 'opal-cannonbol' in a .js.rb file in my assets folder, that is running with RUBY_ENGINE=='opal' correct?
So is it possible to create a gem that will run both on the server and in opal?
@elia, thanks for all the help... In the end it was sooo easy.
Do you think it makes sense to create a section on the opalrb.org docs at the end called "Configuring gems to run in opal" ?
Okay will do... it should just be a quick page or so. | c4 | 1 | 4 | 2 | 2 |

BkiUd9o4eIZjwV-u6Xwn | The drug, which is a £1.60-a-day diluted version of the prescription-only drug Xenical, works by reducing the body's ability to process fat by about 25 per cent.
The undigested fat passes straight through the body, creating what is described as "an urgent need to go to the bathroom".
Yikes! Well, I suppose that's one way to lose some weight.
What I found interesting about the article is how doctors were saying these pills were no replacement for lifestyle changes. You don't seem to hear that too much here in the U.S., except on the Biggest Loser.
If there's one takeaway I got from watching the Biggest Loser finale last night, it's that being the right weight makes you better looking.
Note that I wrote being the right weight. Not being thin per se.
One thing that happens sometimes on the Biggest Loser is that contestants go way overboard sometimes in an effort to win the big prize. Contestants may dehydrate or starve themselves to the point of looking emaciated, not healthy. We saw a little bit of this last year when Helen won, looking more scarecrow-like than healthy.
This latest season fortunately did not reward someone who looked skeletal - Danny, the winner, looked like the right weight for his height. And he looked fabulous! His face had changed so much he said people didn't recognize him. He looked 10-20 years younger.
The Biggest Loser: How Much is Too Much Weight to Lose?
I watched the Biggest Loser finale last night and was disappointed that my favorite, the cutie Mike Morelli, lost to the less wholesome Helen Phillips by a mere 5 pounds. Mike, who lost more than he weighs now, has hit a healthy weight of approximately 180 pounds, whereas Helen slimmed herself down to a scary 117.
While both Mike and Tara looked fabulous, Helen did not look healthy with her scrawny arms and emaciated look. She did not seem to have built up much in the way of lean muscle (judging from the shape of her arms, which were way too noticeable with their loose skin in her sleeveless dress).
Now people all over the Internet are speculating about Helen's health and methods for achieving this weight loss, and anorexia is the word being bantered about.

I somehow stumbled across this site called "Big Fat Facts" this morning that claims that it's not unhealthy to be fat. It seems, as a backlash to the campaign against obesity and our national obsession with thin, some fat activists are trying to put forth the message that it is perfectly OK to be fat (if not totally obese).
It's mind boggling to me, however, that anyone could claim with a serious face that it's perfectly good for your health to be obese.
No, I'm sorry, it is not. It is not good to be obese. It's bad for you. You only need to watch the documentary Supersize Me to see how adding just some fat can have an immediate and awful impact on your health.
And yes, we do have an obesity epidemic on our hands. | c4 | 4 | 1 | 4 | 2 |

Units boast excessive ceilings, ample closet area, a laundry room and the echoes of a spooky previous.
Two giant raven statues mark the doorway of the constructing together with a plaque memorializing Poe.
So, when you're napping on West 84th Street and all of a sudden there comes a tapping, somebody gently rapping at your chamber door, it will not be the supply man however "this grim, ungainly, ghastly, gaunt and ominous bird of yore."
'Facts' of life
Mesmerizing: Poe penned "The Facts in the Case of M. Valdemar" at this West third Street tackle.
Like any good New Yorker, after the uptown stint, Poe headed again downtown in 1845 to 85 W. Third St., the place he wrote "The Facts in the Case of M. Valdemar," a story a couple of mesmerist who places a person right into a hypnotic state moments earlier than dying.
While the unique constructing is "nevermore," NYU, which now runs the executive a part of its legislation program out of that tackle, recreated the unique façade of Poe's house and marked the doorway with a placard that explains the historical past.
It's an ideal historic match if you consider it — what could possibly be extra ghastly than legislation college?
Poe lived in further areas in what's now thought of Greenwich Village, together with on the nook of Waverly Place and Sixth Avenue. While the constructing he lived in is now not there, throughout the road on the nook of Waverly Place and Christopher Street there stays the Northern Dispensary, a medical clinic and pharmacy that opened in 1827 at what was then the northernmost level in Manhattan, which Poe frequented.
The authentic signal nonetheless marks the constructing, which was not in use for 3 many years till earlier this month when it was introduced that God's Love We Deliver would flip it into housing for low-income denizens with AIDS.
Writer's lair
The former Ann Street house of the Evening Mirror — the primary newspaper to run "The Raven" — is now lovingly referred to as the Edgar House.
When he wasn't penning nightmarish prose, Poe labored as a journalist for papers just like the Evening Mirror, the newspaper that first printed "The Raven."
The paper was headquartered at 25 Ann St. within the Financial District and Poe spent vital time writing there.
In a uncommon twist, the constructing by some means survived. It was transformed into flats in 1925 after which into condos in 2000.
Today, the constructing has been renamed the Edgar House in a nod to its historical past, with a tributary plaque on the entrance.
Its 9 luxurious lofts provide 11-foot home windows, polished concrete flooring, walk-in closets and a few even have fireplaces. Nothing is at the moment on the market there, however a three-bedroom, two-bath unit with 2,200 sq. ft lately offered for $2.5 million.
Funeral house
Poe and his spouse Virginia Eliza Clemm Poe (inset) moved to 2640 Grand Concourse in The Bronx in 1846. She died of tuberculosis quickly after.

The final place Poe lived together with his spouse was a white clapboard cottage relationship again to 1812 located on 3 acres of land at what's now 2640 Grand Concourse in The Bronx, right now aptly named, "Poe Park" and "The Poe Cottage."
Poe moved into the cottage in 1846 at a rate of $100 a year in lease in what was then Westchester in efforts to present his ailing spouse but extra contemporary air.
His efforts had been valiant however in useless and Virginia died there in 1847. Poe wrote the poem
"Annabel Lee" right here, which tells a chilling story in regards to the dying of lovely girl.
Today, it's the oldest Poe Museum within the United States and the final everlasting house of the author, in keeping with Roger McCormack, Director of Education, Bronx County Historical Society. It's open to the general public and boasts creepy points of interest like his spouse's deathbed and rocking chair.
When requested if he would ever prefer to dwell in Poe's previous Cottage, McCormack, unbothered (possibly even enamored?) by all of the creepiness stated: "All of the existing Poe houses exude a gothic charm, and would be wonderful to live in!"
Favorite hang-out
This fabled constructing at 47 Bond has housed Poe, P. T. Barnum and a brothel.
Poe went again downtown to 47 Bond St. after his spouse died. He lived on the second ground and drowned his sorrows within the tavern on the primary ground. The constructing, which later housed P. T. Barnum after which a brothel, is now a 4.4 Yelp-rated Mediterranean-Italian restaurant, Il Boco.
Perhaps Poe's most emotionally charged residence, ghost sightings have been reported through the years. There is a duplex that take up the second and third flooring above the restaurant and the fourth and fifth flooring are every single-condo items. The final sale within the constructing closed 15 years in the past for $950,000.
"Poe's writing in New York was intensely shaped by his environment. He was in the middle of a dense and dynamic scene with cut-throat journalists and critics."
John Tresch, a professor on the UK's Warburg Institute
Poe died in 1849, two years after his spouse, in a hospital in Baltimore. His dying stays a thriller, maybe one better than any he painted in his tales. A health care provider dominated his dying "congestion of the brain" however many historians speculate that he was a sufferer of "cooping" — election fraud by way of kidnapping, disguising and forcing a sufferer to vote a number of instances by way of extreme beatings — as he was discovered carrying a stranger's garments. Of course, alcoholism would possibly simply as effectively have performed him in.
Although Poe finally left New York, the town at all times held a particular attract for him.
"Poe's writing in New York was intensely shaped by his environment," stated John Tresch, a professor on the UK's Warburg Institute, who has printed a number of papers on Poe. "He was in the middle of a dense and dynamic scene with cut-throat journalists and critics."
Poe by no means did obtain sufficient fame to earn fortune in his lifetime and all the locations he lived had been dives. But it's nearly poetic that he lived like so many New York writers do right now: floating between low cost walk-ups on the fringes of city. | commoncrawl | 5 | 2 | 5 | 2 |
BkiUdrTxaKPQos1WZy3s | Social Indicators: The EU and Social Inclusion
Tony Atkinson, Bea Cantillon, Eric Marlier, Brian Nolan
OUP Oxford, 07.03.2002 - 256 Seiten
Social indicators are an important tool for evaluating a country's level of social development and for assessing the impact of policy. Such indicators are already in use in investigating poverty and social exclusion in several European countries and have begun to play a significant role in advancing the social dimension of the European Union as a whole. The purpose of this book is to make a scientific contribution to the development of social indicators for the purposes of European policy-making. It considers the principles underlying the construction of policy-relevant indicators, the definition of indicators, and the issues that arise in their implementation, including that of the statistical data required. It seeks to bring together theoretical and methodological methods in the measurement of poverty/social exclusion with the empirical practice of social policy. The experience of Member States is reviewed, including an assessment of the National Action Plans on Social Inclusion submitted for the first time in June 2001 by the fifteen EU governments. The key areas covered by the book are poverty, including its intensity and persistence, income inequality, non-monetary deprivation, low educational attainment, unemployment, joblessness, poor health, poor housing and homelessness, functional illiteracy and innumeracy, and restricted social participation. In each case, the book assesses the strengths and weaknesses of different indicators relevant to social inclusion in the European Union, and makes recommendations for the indicators to be employed. Indicators for Social Inclusion in the European Union is being published at a critical stage in the evolution of the social agenda of the European Union. It is hoped that the report will play a role in widening public debate about the social dimension of Europe and that it will be of value to the social partners, to non-governmental and grass roots organizations, and to those living in poverty and social exclusion. It seeks to provide both a constructive background document at a crucial juncture in the evolution of the social dimension of the European Union and a reference work of continuing value.

BkiUdxvxK6EuNCwyvtD- | Researchers Determine Best Way To Preserve Antioxidant Anthocyanins During Baking
U.S. researchers have developed a way to bake blue corn (maize)-based cookies that preserves the colorful water-soluble anthocyanin pigments that are rich in antioxidants. The best ratio of whole-grain blue corn flour to wheat pastry flour ratio was found to be 80:20. The cookie dough was tested using added acidulants citric acid, lactic acid and glucono-δ-lactone (GDL). Cookies were backed in three oven types having different heat transfer coefficients. Cookies baked with citric acid in a convection oven at 182° C for four minutes had the highest total anthocyanin content (TAC) after baking. "By baking rapidly at lower temperatures and adding acidulants, it may be possible to increase residual natural source antioxidants in baked foods," the researchers concluded.

BkiUcA3xK4sA-9zR_cHY | Are You My Mother?: A Comic Drama
by Alison Bechdel
Are You My Mother?:
A Comic Drama
THIS EVENT IS NOW SOLD OUT.
Brattle Theatre
40 Brattle St., Cambridge, MA 02138
SOLD OUT. View our Sold Out Event FAQ.
Harvard Book Store is excited to welcome acclaimed memoirist and cartoonist ALISON BECHDEL for a discussion of her new memoir, Are You My Mother?: A Comic Drama.
Alison Bechdel's Fun Home was a pop culture and literary phenomenon. Now, a second thrilling tale of filial sleuthery, this time about her mother: voracious reader, music lover, passionate amateur actor. Also a woman, unhappily married to a closeted gay man, whose artistic aspirations simmered under the surface of Bechdel's childhood . . . and who stopped touching or kissing her daughter good night, forever, when she was seven.
Poignantly, hilariously, Bechdel embarks on a quest for answers concerning the mother-daughter gulf. It's a richly layered search that leads readers from the fascinating life and work of the iconic twentieth-century psychoanalyst Donald Winnicott, to one explosively illuminating Dr. Seuss illustration, to Bechdel's own (serially monogamous) adult love life. And, finally, back to Mother—to a truce, fragile and real-time, that will move and astonish all adult children of gifted mothers.
"Are You My Mother is a work of the most humane kind of genius, bravely going right to the heart of things: why we are who we are. It's also incredibly funny. And visually stunning. And page-turningly addictive. And heartbreaking."—Jonathan Safran Foer, author of Everything is Illuminated
"Many of us are living out the unlived lives of our mothers. Alison Bechdel has written a graphic novel about this; sort of like a comic book by Virginia Woolf. You won't believe it until you read it—and you must!"—Gloria Steinem
Alison Bechdel began keeping a journal at the age of ten, and has been assiduously archiving her own life and times with words and pictures ever since. For twenty-five years she wrote and drew the comic strip Dykes to Watch Out For. She is also the author of the best-selling Fun Home: A Family Tragicomic, which won an Eisner Award and was a National Book Critics Circle Award Finalist. Fun Home and Dykes to Watch Out For have been translated into many languages. Bechdel has drawn comics for Slate, McSweeney's, Entertainment Weekly, The New York Times Book Review, and Granta, among other places.
$5 tickets are also coupons good for $5 off a purchase at events or at Harvard Book Store.

BkiUbTu6NNjgBpvH_qKo | Learning and exploring Linux and open source technologies requires lot of free time in hand.
The best way to get free time is to eliminate unnecessary things from your life, and try to organize your life.
Even if you adapt handful of ideas from this list, you've taken a huge step towards organizing your life and being productive.
Organize your schedule using Google Calendar. Add only the things that you have to absolutely do at a certain time in the calendar. Calendar is not a place to organize your to-do list.
Organize your tasks using a To-Do List Manager.
For your bigger projects that contains several dependent tasks, use a free project management software.
When you focus on getting things done, turn-off everything else. Put your phone in silent mode, disconnect internet, log-out of IM. While getting things done, your focus should only be on that action, and nothing else. Be present in everything you do. This is true whether you are working on a critical project, or playing with your kids.
Throw away all the junk foods from your refrigerator. Go to grocery store and purchase fresh and healthy food. Learn how to read the Nutrition Facts Label effectively.
Exercise regularly. Don't exercise because you have to, do it because it is fun to do. If you hate to go to gym, run outside, or pick a sport that you enjoy and play regularly.
Create routines for everything. Try to do the chores exactly at the same day and time every week. For example, laundry routine, house cleaning routine, digital clean-up routine, etc. Add these routines to your calender to commit yourself to do it at that time.
Organize all your digital pictures and videos online. Most of you might be taking 100's of pictures every month, and might not even go back and view it later. I recommend that you have two sets of pictures and videos. The first is a big set contains all the pictures and videos you take. The second is a small set that contains only the pictures and videos that you like the most. I usually do this every month. So, I have the pictures and videos organized by month in two sets.
Use dual monitors. Once you start using two monitors, you'll never go back to using single monitor ever again.
Automate all your bill payments. Enroll for online bill pay with your banking. If your credit card company (or anybody who sends you a statement) have a automatic payment option, where they can take money directly from your bank account, enroll for that.
Identify and eliminate conflicts within yourself. To be productive it is important to make peace with yourself. If you decide not to organize certain aspects of your life, it is fine, but should not feel bad when you think about it. It should naturally feel Ok for you not to do certain things. Identifying the inner conflicts is the hard part, as for most part, it is not obvious. A simple and critical example is your work. If your current employer/job doesn't match what you think as a job that you should be doing, you have a conflict here. Unless you resolve this, it is hard to be productive and organize your life.
To be productive (in both personal life and work life), you should do what you love, and love what you do. This is true on big things like working on a multi-million dollar project, or on small things like cleaning-up your closet.
Define a clear outcome for everything you do. Don't do anything without having a clear idea on what you expect out of it. You need to know the outcome you expect even before you perform the task.
To be productive in front of the computer, you need to learn the keyboard shortcuts of your most frequently used applications.
Donate things that you don't use to a charity organization of your choice. You also get tax benefit from this.
Take some time to think about how you can make some of your chores easy to perform. Do you have the most efficient tools to clean your floor, tiles, etc. If not, research on those and buy appropriate tools and accessories that are required to make these jobs easier.
Create a list of the best restaurants in your area that you want to try out. Later when you feel like eating out, don't go to the same restaurant you go every time. Instead, pick one from the list you created.
Go digital. Scan all your papers and covert them to PDF. Use a high speed bulk double-side scanner. I use Fujitsu ScanSnap S1500 Instant PDF Sheet-Fed Scanner for PC and I love it.
For those documents that still need to be kept as paper (for example, legal documents), use a good filling cabinet to organize them in folders that are labeled by alphabets. I recommend any HON filling cabinets, they are well made and worth the money you spend on it. I have the HON 510 Series Drawer Full-Suspension Letter File and I highly recommended it.
If there are items that you keep purchasing at a certain interval, use the Amazon Subscribe and Save service that will automatically deliver the items that you choose on an on-going basis at regular intervals. As an added bonus, you'll also get additional savings on these items.
Every item in your home needs to have its own place. Take time to assign a place for every item in your home. If you see things scatter around in your house, don't just pick it up and stuff it somewhere, instead assign a place for it, and tell everybody in your family that this item needs to go to that specific location. This way everybody in your family knows where to look for that specific item when they are searching for it.
Doing nothing and just relaxing is extremely productive. You need to unwind frequently to be productive. Watching TV doesn't belong in this category.
Stop watching TV! If that is not possible, at least plan to reduce your TV watching time. List out your favorites shows and record them to DVR, and watch them later, by skipping the commercials.
During the weekends, take time to plan for next week, review your calendar appointments, review your goal list, and create appropriate tasks for next week. This is also a good time to organize the cloths and shoes that you are planning to wear next week, and make sure they are nicely folded or hanged and ready to go when want it fast next week.
Your wallet is not the place to dump everything. Clean-up your wallet and keep only the things you need in it. I have only three items in my slim wallet–driver license, one credit card, and a 20 dollar bill.
Don't run around in the last minute trying to figure out what gifts to get for your loved ones for their birthday. Take time to think about this now. Once you finalize it, and add it to your calendar with the specific item name that you want to purchase. When the time comes, you just have to order it for their birthday.
Learn and educate yourself constantly. Create an Amazon Wish List and add the books that you want to read at some point.
Ask yourself this question: "If I had only one year to live, how would I use the next 365 days?". If you take time to give this a deep thought, you'll absolutely be productive and do only the most important thing in your life every minute of your day.
Pick one room (or closet) at a time, and clean it up. The best and productive way to clean-up a mess is: 1) Empty everything from the room/closet to the floor 2) Group the items into three categories–Need it, Don't need it, May be. 3) Organize the items from "Need it" group back in the room/closet 4) Put the items from "Don't need it" group in a box and donate it. 5) Put the items from "May be" group in a box and store it in the garage. If you don't open the "May be" box in the next 6 months, donate it.
Get a big inbox (or a heavy duty wall hanger) and mount it on the inside of your front door (or next to the front door). When you come inside your home, hang your bags, keys, cellphones, etc in this inbox/hanger. Also, if you have to take something when you to go office tomorrow, and don't want to forget it, hang it immediately in this inbox/hanger next to the front door. This way when you leave, you'll always check this and don't forget to take the things you need.
Schedule an appointment for your annual health checkup, dental checkup and vision checkup. Add this to your calendar so that you don't forget to do this every year.
More organizing tools: Get rid of physical receipts and business cards using shoeboxed, Pageonce – organize online accounts, Zefty – Manage kids allowances (virtual, no money involved), evite – For party planning and invitations.
Play around with these tools and choose only the things that fits your need: Gurulib – organize your home library, Bookbump, Tune-up – organize your music collections.
Take time to think about how you like to manage your finance. Make it a point to save at least 25% of your monthly income into a dedicated retirement savings account.
If you have valuable things that you don't need it anymore, sell it online on craigslist or ebay.
Project Gutenberg has over 36,000 free ebooks that can be downloaded to your PC, or mobile devices. Browse their top 100 ebooks list.
Browse the diy network and bookmark the projects that you are interested in doing it yourself, and do those later.
Don't multitask. There is a misunderstanding that doing multiple tasks at once is very productive. This is not true. When you muti-task, there is no focus. For example, when you try to do three things at once, it might take 30 mins to complete all those three tasks. If you do those three tasks one-by-one, it might still take the same 30 mins to complete all of them. But, there is a big difference. The quality of the work when you multi-task is not the same as the quality of the work when you just focus on one task at a time.
Eliminate paper statements. Are you still getting your cell phone statements (and other statements) in postal mail? Pretty much every consumer businesses offers estatements. But you have to sign-up for those. Anytime you get a paper statement in paper mail, go to their website and sign-up for estatement.
Organize all your bookmarks online using delicious.
Schedule an automatic backup of your system. Use windows backup software, or linux backup solutions accordingly.
Backup your critical documents online. Dropbox offers 2GB of free online storage. Once you drop a file in dropbox, you can work on them like a local file from Windows, Linux, Mac, iPad, iPhone, Android and Blackberry.
Take baby steps. If you've never organized your life before, it will be overwhelming to even start. All you have to do is take one baby step towards organizing and being productive. Pick the one small thing that you want to organize today. It may just be cleaning up and organizing the items on your desk. Even when you start small, have a system in place, so that next time when your desk gets messed-up, you can clean it up in seconds without even thinking about it. This is the fundamental of kaizen philosophy. Read the "One small step can change your life, The Kaizen Way book" to understand how to apply this philosophy in your day to day activities.
Create a dedicated emergency backpack. When there is an emergency you won't have time to collect all the necessary document and rush to hospital. So, take time now to assign a backpack dedicated for emergency purpose. Create a emergency info sheet that contains your SSN number, name, dob, age, birthdate, medical issue list, etc, for each and every one of your family member. Take a copy of your license, insurance, and related documents that might be required for emergency hospital visit and keep that in the backpack. Put anything else that you think is necessary for emergency in this backpack. I even have a cellphone charger in this backpack which I never take it out for day-to-day use.
There are lot of ways to get free book, or swap your existing books for something you like. Explore services like Bookmooch, Paper Back Swap.
Even if you don't feel like doing any of the items in this list, don't just browse random funny videos online. Watch educational and inspiring videos at TED talks. One of these videos might give you the inspiration to do meaningful work that will keep you productive.
If you want to be productive and organize your life, you should focus on identifying the time wasters in your life and eliminate it. This is an ongoing process for me, but I've got very good at this. Not watching TV was the biggest improvement I've made in my life. It just gave me so much free time that I can productively use on things that makes my life better. Some other typical time wasters that you should reduce or eliminate are: Internet surfing, chatting online with friends, social media websites, email, shopping, useless long water-cooler discussions, etc.
Focus only on the essentials. We have way too many projects at work and home. Some of them are essential and critical that will have a big impact. But most of them are useless and we just do it thinking those are critical. If you want to be productive, you should focus only on the high impact essential projects that will enhance your life (and the life of everybody around you). You should focus on simplifying your life. Once you pair it down to the essentials, you'll love life and every body around you, and you'll be extremely productive and happy in both work and personal life.
You sound like my wife !!
Do not use DROPBOX !!!
DROPBOX is easy to use but they alse put all your files on their server for 30days after deleting them so you can take it back… How long did they let them on ?
I am not sure if I can follow all these 50 points.
Let me try at least a dozen from this week.
Thanks for these wondeful piece of information.
Great suggestion, I was browsing internet for linux command and ended reading your 50 Productive tips for life.
Good one, I will share this post with my friends.
As for organizing tools, I have been using Emacs org mode for a few months. In fact, I'm only using it with a Vim plugin and thus have limited features. Still, I'm absolutely amazed. The idea is to keep your calendar, todo list, and much more in a single text file (can be edited by any editor in case of emergency). The format of the text file is absolutely human readable, but the Emacs/Vim plugin or smartphone apps convert it into a full-featured organizer, with folding rules very much following how human mind works. Plus plenty of extras in terms of todos, dates, links to other files, or even tables or document processing under Emacs. Then, that single text file governing your whole life can be synchronized among your boxes / smartphones using Dropbox / rsync, etc. 🙂 Making notes of complex projects is also very effective with org mode.
Very good tips, thank you for share them.
Good post… Pleasant surprise from the usual stuff (which are also very good!).
The list is good, but I think it has scope to be reduced in size. There are couple of repetitions. Once condensed, it would be very useful.
Thanks for this , But very hard to adopt these thing in daily life , After spending 12 hour on job . i dont think you have spare time left to do these thing. but still i have to say Very nice and different article .
Couple of minor quibbles. Item number 45 Take baby steps should be the very first item in the list. Next, your point about picking at least one thing to do as you say in item 48 should be second on the list. I'd suggest that people do one from the list and then when they have that under control and do it automatically, add one more.
Next, your suggestion about Dropbox, while based on the good idea of making your data available everywhere, is a potential disaster in the making as Dropbox is not secure. See the criticism section of: https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/Dropbox_%28service%29.
Beware of any cloud service that offers deduplication if you have PHI or PII data as that service requires their system to be able to read your files, a clear violation of HIPAA and many US state laws.
Except for these points, a most excellent list to pick and chose from.
Very good article Ramesh. I'm surprised that nothing was mentioned about getting off FaceBook. I believe it can be worse or even more addicting than T.V.
Great tips Ramesh, one one most practical and relevant lists on organisation/ productivity I have seen, keep up the good work!
Thanks for the article very insightful for someone like me who's semi organized.
All of these tips sound wonderful. But not for a perfectionist. Because you're going to burn out. You need to relax and turn your brain off; watch TV sometimes even. I think I burn out once a week at least.
I don't really agree with eliminating time wasters or cutting back on things such as chatting with friends or water cooler discussions.
Thank you! This is a very useful article. | c4 | 4 | 2 | 3 | 1 |

BkiUbZDxK7Tt522WYrRK | Q: Check if a file exists, if not create one, Javascript I know this question have already been asked. BUT NONE of this,this, this,this,this or this solutions worked for me. I'm only using HTML / CSS / JS for the moment on my website. Later this should run on an apache or IIS server.
Situation :
On my website I wish user to access different servers. I got a html select with a lot of choice. Once they made their choice and click on connection button I check the choice they made and open it (it's a web interface like 127.0.0.1) in a new tab the link.
Problem : Some of the servers should not being accesssed if one is already used.
Example : If 127.0.0.1 is used by someone, no one should access 128.0.0.1 or 129.0.0.1
The solution I found was creating a file when someone access 127.0.0.1. So when someone want to access 128.0.0.1 or 129.0.0.1, I check if the file exists.
If it does exists I don't open the link and show an alert, if it does not exist I create it and open the link in new tab.
Another problem : How can I know when the tab will be closed in order to delete the file ?
Have you got another solution to this problem ?
Thx in advance for helping me, I'm just a beginner in web. No solutions worked for me so far ...
A: This code help you to detect when user close a tab.

BkiUeII4dbghezubFtBd | Our ambition is to create a local economy worth £50 billion by 2040. Ensuring our businesses have the skilled workforce they need now and in the future, is paramount to achieving this.
Apprenticeships are one way to combine on the job training, studying for a qualification and access to real life work experience. They also help to support businesses to shape and influence the skilled workforce they need to increase economic growth.
Our Skills and Education Plan has an ambition to stimulate employer demand for Apprenticeships in Cheshire across a range of sectors, in particular those priority sectors which are seen as having a vital role in the future growth of Cheshire and Warrington's economy.
We will support businesses to have greater ownership and influence over the skills system. It will work with businesses and providers to identify skills priorities and ensure effective alignment of provision. This includes ensuring a quality Apprenticeship offer relevant to business needs.
Expanding the provision of Higher Level Apprenticeships is key to widening participation into Higher Education and retaining talented young people, whilst increasing the economic prosperity of our businesses.
An Apprenticeship is a job with training. Being an apprentice means that you have a job that includes gaining recognised qualifications and essential skills whilst you are working and earning a wage. Apprenticeships are designed around the needs of employers.
Apprentices can be new or existing employees (if their job role is changing/expanding) and combine working whilst studying for a work based qualification from GCSE to degree level. You could get funding or a Grant to employ an apprentice.
The Apprenticeship Training Agency (ATA) offers a unique approach to the recruitment of apprentices. The ATA model is intended to support the delivery of a high quality Apprenticeship programme with a focus on small employers who wish to use the services of an ATA to source, arrange and host their Apprenticeships.
The distinctive feature of the ATA model is that it is the ATA which acts as the apprentice's employer and which places them with a host employer. | c4 | 5 | 2 | 5 | 2 |
BkiUbZc4uzqh_LjbqQ3k | Fancy mixing a spot of golf with some sun? Belek in Turkey is proving to be a great hit for golfing holidays.
Enjoying the advantage of a short transfer time from the Antalya International Airport, Belek is a selected region that has carefully been designed for taking the full advantaage of Nature, Beach, Congress, Football, Tennis and Golf Tourism.
The increase in the number of foreign visitors visiting this fabulous holiday resort is making this an investment zone with very high potentials for holiday makers and investors alike. This past year the numbers get even higher by many discovering Europeans.
Over the past few years, this glowing star of a holiday resort has pushed harder and harder to be placed 1st amongst all other selected holiday regions. Today the stars shine its brightest by Belek earning a name brand with its popularity and presents a new face to the of Turkish Golf Tourism in Turkey. The Ministry of Tourism has declared Belek as the 'Tourism Center for the next 1,000 years' due to its unmatchable natural surrounding and beauties along wit hthe touristic facilities that are of the finest quaity and are available for each visitor's personal convenience.
Belek is a fast and highly developing holiday and golf resort that has doubled commercial investments, public amenities and residential zones in a very short period of time. When people think of Belek, they only think of Belek. But in actual fact, the Belek region consists of the towns of Kadriye and Serik. serik is the main district for the towns of Kadriye and Belek. The locations of the Golf courses and hotels are split between the towns of Kadriye and Belek, and not just Belek alone. But for tourism purposes, the government has chosen to introduce this region as Belek. The booming real estate industry has set off a building explosion amongst the twin towns of Kadriye and Belek. These towns were once quaint little villages practicing mainly agriculture as a major source of income. It was also a place where Turkish people could travel from other cities, to spend their vacations along the luxuiant coastline. today this is an elite area conveniently situated as the first and closest holiday and beach resort from Antalya and the Antalya International Airport.
Belek offers everything you could imagine, compared to other holiday regions, but also offers awide range of golfing and convention tourism thus making the area unique when compared to similar areas. This is one of the rare places on earth where you can enjoy wonderful sunshine 300 days in a year along with the wonders of Turkey. The region consists of a beach of about 29.5 km between River Aksu on the west and the River Sarisu on the east. The Belek region is very rich in flora and fauna as it hosts various habitats with different characteristics such as forest, river, stream, agricultural areas, aquatic habitats and sand dunes. While five-star tourism establishments, summerhouses and arbors occupy an important portion of the beach; there is no construction in one part. For the most part, the region is under protection regulations such as "Belek Specialy Protected Area" and "First Degree Natural Site". Number of nests determined during the last two years, have revealed that fact that t he Belek region is the second largest known nesting area for sea turtles after the Zakynthos Island of Greece. This result puts forward the strong need of paying more attention to the conservation studies in the region in order to preserve the sea turtles as one of Turkey's important biological riches as well as to fulfill the responsibilities that have been overtaken in terms of signing international conventions.
The year 2007 leads Belek Tourism Centre to function as Antalya's new tourism 'hub' connecting a new phase inter-district shoreline routes, whereby connecting 60 km from the west coast beaches of Kundu, Lara, and Antalya City through to the Konyaalti Beach, and another 160 km from the east coast to Manavgat, Side and Alanya, thus changing the old road map. This estimated billion dollar project will inevitably bring a vast change in the area while linking the most popular southern beaches and resorts through Belek. This is a project that will bridge over dozens of new communities providing the highest yields of property gains.
It's a great time to invest, ' before you miss the boat' and right place if you intend to invest to a near prosperous future.
The high volume traffic of Antalya International Airport last summer hosted more than 50,000 visitors daily, breaking new records of nearly 600 flights per day; never seen before. The second International Terminal that opened last summer and offerred service added to this amazing flow of people flooding the area. Moreover a third and fourth terminal will add to this astonishing increase. Nearly 70% of this airport traffic is expected to shift to the upcoming inter-link coastal route, dependant on the Belek holiday and golf resorts forcefully reaching out to the highest popularity in a short span of time and as a result implementing more unforeseen projects that the future leads the area to.
The heart of the region, Kadriye is a newly developing and fast growing town with palm lined streets and a population of 13,000 people. The charming town of Belek is 3 km east of Kadriye and has a population of 9,000 people. This highly developing town is surrounded by newly built arches made in a historical style offering a similar attractiveness to that of Kadriye. The designing of the town gives its visitors a sense of history and the ancient past with the convenience of modernity. Both the towns offer a large variety of shops, restaurants and entertainment with festivals held periodically al the year round and more events and activities. The town public transportation is a convenient, cheap and popular way to get around for those who enjoy scenic views along the main road surrounded by forests. The area is also wonderful for bikers who can peddle down the roads while breathing in the fresh mountain, sea and forest air.
Since last year both Municipalities of Kadriye and Belek have worked hard to add finer touches to the area. Similarly hard work carries on; ensuring security and public conveniences. Today works still continue at a steady pace, extending more new streets and upgrading the infrastructure at the same time. All this work creates a lot of possibilities for fast growing residential areas.
A new project development along the Acisu river between Kadriye and Belek has started. The Acisu River main road is planned to be the 2nd main road, within the area, starting off at the entrance of the town of Kadriye and following along the river all the way to Belek. This new and exciting tourism and lifestyle project will offer scenic boat tours overlooking the spectacular Taurus Mountains. A separate road alongside the river bank will be built for pedestrians strolling to enjoy the peaceful views, joggers, and cyclists. Fine restaurants, bars parks and recreation centres and much more will be coming in the near future.
Ever since the project to beautify the region has been approved and supported by the Turkish Government, it has been a trend amongst foreigners to buy riverside property consisting of attractive holiday villas and apartments or build custom homes along this area.
Nationals of Britain, Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Belgium and Netherlands are among the most popular nationalities, to purchase real estate here. Last year alone this increase was well over 40% compared to the year before. A lot of daily property purchases of villas, apartments, golf land and custom build villas has been never been so before.
From an investment point of view, looking back 10 to 12 years ago, all you could find in Belek and Kadriye were the occasional Turkish cooperative holiday homes, more so on the Kadriye side. These villas were built as affordable summer homes for the Turkish vacationers, who would come to spend time during their summer vacations, from big cities such as Istanbul and Ankara. Other than that it was not very populated. Then 4 to 5 years later, a golf course was built; The National Golf Club. soon after the news of a new golf course being built was heard, the hotel chains began investing and building. Subsequently, the town slowly began developing and more cooperative homes were constructed. Since this time, over 38 five star hotels and resorts have surfaced, with another 6 more arising. Land that was once considered of not much value is now very hard to find at what was once know as "cheap" although it is still considerably reasonable than most places in and around Europe.
At the start of 2005, the 2 or 3 bedroom cooperative villas that could once be purchased at 5,000 €, 10-15 years ago, became valued at as low as 40,000 €, and within a year, now carry a higher market value of 85,000 €. The building boom for new residential and commercial projects also began, in order to supply the large demand of foreign investment. Luxurious golf villas began to surface at starting prices of 150,000 €, reaching prices of up to 50,000 €. There are currently over 30 residential projects alone between Belek and Kadriye, and more in the planning stages. If this isn't a property boom, what is?
It is fair to state that this advantageous rise in property value is very good for another 3 or so more years. But the general business of investment and the development of the region will still be strong for another 5 to 10 years. Needless to say, it is a great time to consider investing in a rapidly developing golfing region. The prices have been escalating at a 30 to 40 per cent increase per annum since 2003.
Some of the features of the resort are the 5 championship Golf Clubs (3 – 27 hole and 3 – 18 hole), 38 five star hotels and holiday villages consisting of a 35,000 bed capacity. During summers the area hosts a population of 70,000 visitors, ranking #1 well over many other towns around. Some of the new golf course projects planned in the region are expected to be completed by the end of year 2007. There are presently 5 golf clubs available in the Belek region and 6 more under new development. The area will eventually be enriched with a total of 18 different golf clubs. The $130 million 7 Star Rixos hotel grand opening happened this past summer. The second-up project is $40 million, exclusive to a 18-hole golf course, Rixos plans to open next year. It will have the signature of Bernhard Langer, Europe Team Captain in the last years Ryder Cup and one of the best players in the world. The Belek region offers fresh clean air, 300 days of sunshine, low humidity and low crime.
During early in March 2005, a pleasant attraction in the Kadriye district called 'Religious Gardens' the first in Turkey, and the second in the world, was opened with a grand ceremony. The purpose of this placement was to embrace 3 religions consisting of a Synagogue, a Mosque and a Church that nearly invites 500 daily visitors to this brotherhood like area. The entrance is free of charge and open all around the year to everyone wishing to practice their religion away from home. Couples prefer this wonderfully historic area for weddings.
The Belek region offers fresh clean air, blue flag beaches, 300 days of sunshine, beautiful nature with unique flora and fauna, low humidity and no visual polution. Swimmers and sunbathers alike enjoy the sandy beaches of Uckumtepesi, Tasliburun, Iskele, Ileribasi and Acisu covering a total of 30 km of the superior Meditteranean shoreline surrounded by the finest hotels, holiday villages and golf clubs within the lush pine forests of Belek thus providing a pleasant environment all year round and attracting a large audience.
More natural surroundings that make the Belek area unmatchabe and unique are the national park by the Besgoz and Aksu rivers near Kadriye. 574 different plant species are present, where 29 are endemic and live in this unequalled atmosphere. A nearby bird sanctuary, home of 109 different bird species is where you can see the camouflaged owl can be traced all year round. During fall the coasts of the region welcome the Caretta Caretta turtles to their nesting grounds, one of 17 privileged areas along Antalya's Mediterranean coast.
15-20 minutes distance from Belek are several historical places worth visiting like the Perge ancient city, and the Aspendos Theatre. The Aspendos is the best preserved theatre of antiquity that seats 15,000 spectators, and still used today for the annual Aspendos Opera and Ballet festival and various concerts. The Sillyon ancient city and the Koprulu Canyon are photogenic landmarks testifying the architectural success of the well preserved area.
Golf can be played in Belek all year round and other various sporting activities are parasailing, jet skiing, horseback riding, cycling, paintball, soccer, tennis, volleyball, scuba diving, sailing, yachting, basketball and much more. For those who like to gear up high, can also ride on microlites in Belek.
On a final note, Belek is truly a heaven with its beautiful nature and constantly expanding touristic and residential facilities. Why not own a piece of this Mediterranean sun, sea, sand and nature! | c4 | 4 | 2 | 5 | 1 |

BkiUasvxK0iCl7UGVIUQ | Former Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis speaking to media in Bagdograi, West Bengal on Tuesday.
CAA is for helping those who faced religious persecution: Fadnavis
ANI | Updated: Dec 24, 2019 17:27 IST
Bagdogra (West Bengal) [India], Dec 24 (ANI): Former Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis on Tuesday said that Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) is for helping those who have faced religious persecution and some parties have spread rumours and incite people against it.
Speaking to media here, Fadnavis said, "I have come here in support of CAA. Politics is going regarding this act in which some parties are inciting people and creating instability in the country. Today most people feel that this act must be supported and in the same voice, we have combined those who are supporting it. This law is not against anyone and it is for helping those who have faced religious persecution and this act is supported by the whole country."
"I came here because West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee has taken a stand that states CAA is against the persecuted people," Fadnavis said.
BJP leader Dilip Ghosh welcomed the direction given by the Calcutta High Court to the West Bengal government to stop all its advertisements that say National Register of Citizens (NRC) and CAA will not be implemented in the state.
Ghosh said, "The court passed the order on petitions filed by various individuals. The West Bengal Governor himself said and we have also agitated that the use of public money by the state government to protest against the CAA is illegal. The court has now directed the government to stop doing this and we welcome this decision."
The Calcutta High Court on Monday directed the West Bengal government to stop all its advertisements that say the National Register of Citizens (NRC) and Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) will not be implemented in the state.
The court passed the order on petitions filed by various individuals. It also directed the withdrawal of advertisements from websites and other places. (ANI)

BkiUdyI5qYVBgGxQ8M1Y | India's economy will pick up steam in the fiscal year beginning in April, but not by as much as analysts thought just a few months ago due to disappointment over a delayed revival in investment, a Reuters poll found.
Tumbling oil prices and easier credit conditions are likely to boost consumption, but implementing reforms will also be key to sustaining that momentum.
According to ING Vysya economist Upasana Bharadwaj, the outlook for the economy is still good, but the delay in strong investments in India means that forecasts for next year have been pegged back slightly.
The poll of 19 analysts forecast Asia's third largest economy to grow 6.2 percent next fiscal year, a slight downgrade from the October survey's forecast of 6.4 percent, but it would still be the first time that growth has exceeded 6.0 percent since FY 2011/2012.
The poll also showed that the economy will grow 5.5 percent the current fiscal year ending in March, unchanged from the previous poll result.
India suffered its slowest phase of economic growth for a quarter century during the previous two years when it clocked consecutive growth rates of sub-5 percent. The economy is still growing far too slowly to generate enough jobs for the increasing number of people entering the labour force.
Hopes of some acceleration in the growth rate stemmed partly from last week's surprise interest rate cut by the Reserve Bank of India and a clear signal it would ease policy through 2015 if inflation continued to cool and the government kept its finances healthy.
Median forecasts showed the economy expanding 5.8 percent this quarter and 6.0 percent next.
"A looser policy should help growth accelerate over the next 18 months or so. On top of this, there is the boon from the drop in oil prices and what that means for spending," said Shilan Shah, India economist at Capital Economics.
A spectacular fall in global crude oil prices, roughly 60 percent in the last six months, has sent inflation tumbling, reduced India's import bill, will make it easier for the government to cut costly fuel subsidies, and has freed up more disposable income for India's middle classes to spend on other goods and services.
The latest poll saw consumer prices rising 6.5 percent this fiscal year and 6.0 percent in the following year, sharply down from the 7.5 percent and 7.0 percent forecasts in October's poll.
RBI Governor Rajan said last week more policy easing would take place if data continued to confirm disinflationary pressures and economists took that as a sign that further easing is certain.
All economists surveyed predicted a cut in the repo rate, currently 7.75 percent, before July while 9 of 20 forecast a cut as early as policy review meeting on Feb.3.
But India requires reforms, and while many have been promised by the government few have been implemented.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi's government has sought to push reforms on foreign investment and manufacturing, but is facing rigid labour markets, poor infrastructure and political obstruction, despite holding a strong majority in the lower house of parliament.
Next year's budget will be unveiled on Feb. 28 and should give an indication of what reforms can be expected.
"We are on the slightly more cautious side in terms of hopes of reform and we've seen the political roadblocks come into play over the past month or so and it's going to constrain the reform agenda," said Shah. | c4 | 5 | 3 | 5 | 3 |

BkiUbDjxK7Tt6AlxBxai | She found a way to put a few tiny homes together and make a community.
There are a lot of people in America's economy right now looking at simpler, cheaper, easier ways to live.
They don't want to sacrifice quality of life to get it either. One solution that becomes more popular by the month is a tiny house: small, shed sized cottages with custom, quality construction built for full time living.
This community of tiny houses shares an oversized lot with a traditional home.
A few have managed to make the transition smoothly, without needing to move out of city limits, or into a mobile home park.
Municipalities don't have anything like this in their building and zoning codes and many of them are afraid of the drop in property values they fear will happen if they allow it.
It's rare when a group not only manages to find a home for a tiny house in town, but builds an entire community of them.
The outside of Lina's charming tiny house.
Lina Menard is a pioneer. No, she doesn't have a covered wagon, but she is challenging the frontier of what is commonly thought of as the proper way to live.
From the time she was fourteen, she has been interested in a movement known as "cohousing" that allows resources to be shared between individuals or families, such as gardens, storage units and yards.
The kitchen in Lina's tiny house, including her cat's favorite hiding spot.
It was not much of a surprise that she became part of a group that managed to find and purchase a piece of property that already had an existing home and plenty of room for multiple tiny houses.
This is not a "tiny house in a backyard" situation or an "upscale RV park" for tinies.
The community gives plenty of space for activities together, or alone.
So, how does it work? The big house on the property houses bathroom facilities, kitchen, dining and living areas, as well as a community guest room.
There are also four tiny houses on the property that serve as detached bedrooms. Residents decrease their living expenses radically, while still having full amenities available for their use as needed.

BkiUaXfxK2li-LJstQsF | In collaboration with top hospitals and Harvard, we conduct several clinical trials exploring objective methods for assessing depression and its severity.
Current methods to assess depression and then ultimately select appropriate treatment have many limitations. They are usually based on having a clinician rate scales, which were developed in the 1960s. Their main drawbacks are lack of objectivity, being symptom-based and not preventative, and requiring accurate communication.
This work explores new technology to assess depression, including its increase or decrease, in an automatic, more objective, pre-symptomatic, and cost-effective way using wearable sensors and smart phones for 24/7 monitoring of different personal parameters such as physiological data, voice characteristics, sleep, and social interaction.
We aim to enable early diagnosis of depression, prevention of depression, assessment of depression for people who cannot communicate, better assignment of a treatment, early detection of treatment remission and response, and anticipation of post-treatment relapse or recovery.
This collaboration between MIT, Harvard and Massachusetts General Hospital examines: (1) the natural occurrence of suicidal thoughts using smart-phone based self-report assessments; (2) novel behavioral predictors of suicidal thoughts; (3) affective predictors of suicidal thoughts; (4) the physiological and behavioral predictors of suicidal thoughts.
What suicidal thoughts look like in nature (i.e., How long do they last? How frequent, intense, and persistent are they among those who have them)?
What cognitive, affective/physiological, behavioral, and social factors trigger their occurrence?
The reason for this lack of information is that historically researchers have used retrospective selfreport to measure suicidal thoughts and have lacked the tools to measure them as they naturally occur outside the lab.

Python framework for ubiquitous sensor networks enabling a higher interoperability and ease of reprogramming.
In recent years Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) have been deployed in wide range of applications from the health and environment monitoring to building and industrial control. However, the pace of prevalence of WSN is slower than anticipated by the research community due to several reasons including required embedded systems expertise for developing and deploying WSNs; use of proprietary protocols; and limits in scalability and reliability.
In this project we developed PyFUNS (Python-based Framework for Ubiquitous Networked Sensors) to address these challenges. PyFUNS handles low level and networking functionalities, using the services provided by Contiki, and leaves to the user only the task of application development in the form of Python scripts.
This approach reduces required expertise in embedded systems to develop WSN based applications. PyFUNS also uses 6LoWPAN and CoAP standard protocols to enable interoperability and ease of integration with other systems, pursuing the Internet of Things vision. Through a real implementation of PyFUNS in two constrained platforms we proved its feasibility in mote devices, as well as its performance in terms of control delay, energy consumption and network traffic in several network topologies. As it is possible with PyFUNS to easily compare performance of different deployments of distributed application, PyFUNS can be used to identify optimal design of distributed application.
A new solution for visually programming WSN applications and for discovering the smart home devices and available distributed services provided by wireless sensors and actuators.
Most of the currently deployed integrated home management products require an experienced technician to install and configure the system.
In this project, we build upon the Internet of Things (IoT) paradigm, with the aim of delivering networked solutions that enable multi-node wireless sensor networks (WSNs) to connect to the Internet in a secure, simple and efficient way. We also describe the design and implementation of a smart-home management system.
The system is composed of a lightweight tool with an intuitive user interface for commissioning of IP-enabled WSNs. The solution includes a visual programming interface with a common framework for discovering smart home services on the WSN, and a code analysis and translation engine to generate Python code. This engine analyses the application rules defined with the graphical user interface and translates them into distributed application scripts. The system also includes modules to plan the optimization of the deployment, and deploy and start the generated code. The solution has been implemented and demonstrated on a platform with several smart home applications.
Recently, wearable devices have allowed for long term, ambulatory measurement of electrodermal activity (EDA). Despite the fact that ambulatory recording can be noisy, and recording artifacts can easily be mistaken for a physiological response during analysis, to date there is no automatic method for detecting artifacts.
In this project we developed a machine learning algorithm for automatically detecting EDA artifacts. We have encoded our results into a freely available web-based tool for artifact and peak detection.
Cooja is a very popular sensor network simulator for Contiki operating system, but it lacks support for modelling sensing coverage, focusing instead on network connectivity and protocol performance. However, in practice it is the ability of a sensor network to provide a satisfactory level of coverage that defines its ultimate utility for end-users.
In this project we developed a Cooja-based tool for coverage and network lifetime evaluation in an in-building sensor network. To extend the network lifetime but still maintain the required quality of coverage, the tool finds coverage redundant nodes, puts them to sleep, and automatically turns them on when active nodes fail and coverage quality decreases.
Crosslateral, bilateral and lateral correlation of electrodermal activity measured on calves and forearms during different stressor tasks.
In this project we examine electrodermal activity measured simultaneously from the left and right forearm and left and right calf locations on the bodies of healthy adult volunteers (n=32), sites that support long-term wear.
The growing need for ambulatory measurement of sympathetic nervous system arousal makes it important to find an unobtrusive alternative to the palmar site for long-term measurement of electrodermal activity (EDA), where sensors may need to be worn for a month or longer.
While prior studies have shown EDA measured on the palmar and forearm sites to be highly correlated, in this work we examine EDA measured simultaneously from the left and right forearm and left and right calf locations on the bodies of healthy adult volunteers (n=32) while each participant experiences three types of stressors: physical, cognitive, and emotional, preceded and followed by four rest periods.
Separately, we also examine the lag of EDA response times in the physical task (stair-climbing).
An European project with 9 partners and a goal of ensuring the cybersecurity and resilience of smart grids.

SPARKS developed procedural and technical countermeasures, and provided cost assessments of the developed technologies. A goal is to make recommendations to standardization bodies.
and novel hardware security technologies for smart metering applications.
An European project which delivered a novel architecture, services, and engineering methodologies for robust, adaptive, self-organising, and cooperating monitoring and control systems to address the current problems of heterogeneity and interoperability, installation and commissioning complexity, and adaptability and robustness in the building monitoring and control space.
Large scale embedded Monitoring and Control (M&C) systems in energy management, transportation, security and safety often co-exist alongside each other with little cooperation within and among heterogeneous systems which hampers the increasing demand to operate the whole system optimally. A good example is building management, a market worth in excess of $36 billion annually by 2015, where a wide range of vendor specific, heterogeneous M&C systems for HVAC, access control, fire and safety, etc. are in use. This "stove pipe" system approach limits optimal solutions to energy-efficiency, occupant comfort, or fire safety, especially as most systems need to evolve over time and have to deal with unexpected or unpredictable dynamics such as fire.
SCUBA will create a novel architecture, services, and engineering methodologies for robust, adaptive, self-organising, and cooperating monitoring and control systems to address the current problems of heterogeneity and interoperability, installation and commissioning complexity, and adaptability and robustness in the building monitoring and control space. SCUBA will develop semantic models for devices, systems and building management applications and will contribute to their standardisation to improve interoperability. SCUBA will provide a proof of concept of this approach by demonstrating how self-organisation will lead to simpler engineering, commissioning, and maintenance and how cooperation among heterogeneous, multi-vendor building monitoring and control systems will make the system more adaptive and robust in real building management applications.
SCUBA addresses the challenges of the call including development of systems capable of dealing with complex, distributed and/or uncertain dynamics, development of self-organising, monitoring and control systems, providing methods for adjusting to/ recovering from failures, and standardisation of configuration interfaces and exchange platforms.
I was responsible for design, implementation and testing of the WSN service platform which enabled the horizontal integration of services provided by heterogeneous Sensor Networks. This test bed is based on IMS standard and I developed it in Java.
To demonstrate the platform to the product development and business teams I implemented several applications (in the area of smart office and office booking management) using WSN services. The user applications were developed in Java with Swing GUI and I implemented sensor services on Sun SPOTs programmed in embedded Java.
My PhD dissertation was focused on the cross-layer optimization of routing protocols in WSN. A common time reference across nodes is required in most Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) applications. It is needed, for example, to time-stamp sensor samples and for long-term duty cycling of nodes. Also many routing protocols require that nodes communicate according to some predefined schedule for reasons of energy efficiency. However, independent distribution of the time information, without considering the routing algorithm schedule or network topology, may lead to a failure of the synchronisation protocol. This was confirmed empirically, and was shown to result in loss of connectivity. This can be avoided by integrating the synchronization service into the network layer with a so-called cross-layer approach.
This approach introduces interactions among the layers of a conventional layered network stack, so that the routing layer may share information with other layers.
I explore whether energy efficiency can be enhanced through the use of cross-layer optimisations and present two novel cross-layer routing algorithms. The first protocol, designed for hierarchical, cluster-based networks and called Cross-Layer Efficient Architecture for Routing (CLEAR), uses the routing algorithm to distribute time information which can be used for efficient duty cycling of nodes. The second method – called Routing Integrated Synchronisation Service (RISS) – integrates time synchronisation into the network layer and is designed to work well in flat, non-hierarchical network topologies.
I implemented and tested the performance of these solutions in simulations and also deployed these routing techniques on sensor nodes using TinyOS. I compared the average power consumption of the nodes and the precision of time synchronisation with the corresponding parameters of a number of existing algorithms. All proposed schemes extend the network lifetime and due to their lightweight architecture they are very efficient on WSN nodes with constrained resources. Hence, it is recommended that a cross-layer approach should be a feature of any routing algorithm for WSNs.
A new method for quality monitoring of end-user services based on a service modeling and data mining to estimate the Quality of Service and Service Level Agreement status.
Quality of Service (QoS) monitoring of end-user services is an integral and indispensable part of service management. However in large, heterogeneous and complex networks where there are many services, many types of end-user devices, and huge numbers of subscribers, it is not trivial to monitor QoS and estimate the status of Service Level Agreements (SLAs). Furthermore, the overwhelming majority of end-terminals do not provide precise information about QoS which aggravates the difficulty of keeping track of SLAs.
In this project, we developed a solution that combines a number of techniques in a novel and unique way to overcome the complexity and difficulty of QoS monitoring.
Our solution uses a model driven approach to service modeling, data mining techniques on small sample sets of terminal QoS reports (from "smarter" end-user devices), and network level key performance indicators (N-KPIs) from probes to address this problem.
Service modeling techniques empowered with a modeling engine and a purpose-built language hide the complexity of SLA status monitoring. The data mining technique uses its own engine and learnt data models to estimate QoS values based on N-KPIs, and feeds the estimated values to the modeling engine to calculate SLAs.
A new method of automatic feature compatibility assessment in mobile networks. This method enables easier and faster deployment of a new network or an upgrade of an already existing telecom network.
Deployment and upgrade of a mobile network have always been challenging tasks. Very often they require human intervention because telecom networks are complex systems composed of different nodes that need to be compatible in order to communicate and provide network services. Therefore in current telecommunication systems a network expert must check all the requirements and compatibilities of the network prior to activation of a new service. Automation of the assessment of network compatibility is one of the key enablers for Autonomic Management of telecom networks.
In this project we developed a new method for automatic end-to-end assessment of compatibility between network features in a telecom network.
The method enables fast, easy and accurate decision making regarding the planning of new feature deployment or the upgrade of already existing features. We built a prototype that demonstrates the described method. It shows that our method is not bound to any type of telecom network and could be used to automate deployment or upgrade of a multiple-domain network. | c4 | 5 | 5 | 5 | 5 |

SLAVERY | Benjamin LUNDY
"ONE OF THE MOST VIGOROUS OF THE WRITINGS TO APPEAR IN THAT CONTROVERSY": LUNDY'S ANTI-SLAVERY, ANTI-TEXAS PAMPHLET, THE WAR IN TEXAS, SCARCE 1836 FIRST EDITION
(TEXAS) (SLAVERY) [LUNDY, Benjamin]. The War in Texas; a Review of Facts and Circumstances, Showing that this Contest is a Crusade Against Mexico… Philadelphia: for the Author, by Merrihew and Gunn, 1836. Slim octavo, later green buckram; pp. 56, [1].
First edition of Quaker abolitionist Benjamin Lundy's spirited anti-slavery argument protesting Texas' aggression against Mexico, "showing that this contest is a crusade against Mexico set on foot and supported by slaveholders, land speculators, etc., in order to re-establish, extend and perpetuate the system of slavery and the slave trade."
Lundy was "a pioneer in the organization of anti-slavery societies and in the publication of an anti-slavery newspaper [Genius of Universal Emancipation], and was the most active figure in the whole movement during the 20s" (ANB). Lundy spent years seeking a place for freed slaves to settle, including areas of Texas then under control of Mexico. With President Andrew Jackson viewing Texas annexation as "an essential element of American expansion" (Wilentz, Rise of American Democracy, 435), Lundy led the opposition. War in Texas, "fortified with careful personal observations gleaned from three trips to Texas in 1832, 1833, and 1834… was one of the most vigorous of the writings to appear in that controversy" (Eberstadt). Certain the annexation cause was led by pro-slavery forces, Lundy "doubtless supplied John Quincy Adams with much of the information concerning the Texas situation which he used so effectively in his speeches to Congress" (Raines, 141). The "first to ascribe this war to a slave-holding conspiracy" (Howes), abolitionists, who were "riveted by Lundy's account of the Texas revolution as a slaveholders' uprising, saw annexation as the latest southern subterfuge to augment slavery's control of the federal government" (Wilentz, 560). While Howes calls this an "enlarged edition" of Lundy's pamphlet The Origin and True Causes of the Texas Insurrection, also published in 1836, that 32-page pamphlet was a reprinting of eight articles written by Lundy under the pseudonym Columbus and published in the Philadelphia National Gazette. This 56-page pamphlet, while similar in its aims, is a different text. (A second edition of The War in Texas, enlarged to 64 pages, appeared in 1837.). Sabin 95134. Streeter Texas 1217. Howes L569. Eberstadt 162:504. Bookplate of New Hampshire Historical Society; accession number in blank upper margin of first text leaf.
Errata leaf at rear trimmed along the outer margin, affecting a letter or two on each line. Text clean, binding fine. An exceptionally good copy of this scarce first edition.

BkiUbWDxK7Dgs_aSTCmN | The Sutherland Shire Council is proposing the demolition of properties along 40-44 Kingsway Cronulla, the properties that take the corner of Wilbar Avenue are Pro Dive, Cronulla Beach Backpackers, El Sol and Space 44. The $12.7 million plans outline a six-storey mixed commercial and residential development including 4 commercial stores on the ground floor, 18 residential apartments above, a rooftop communal area and 34 basement parking spaces to accommodate with access via the rear on Wilbar Lane. It can be assumed that the parking is residential parking only.
Traffic to/from Wilbar Ave to the Kingsway is already an issue, increasing traffic flow onto Wilbar Lane in order to access a carpark will increase congestion at this already troubled intersection. This will affect how you get to and from the main town area!
The removal of two culturally significant venues for music and art will limit creative performers in Cronulla. This will decrease Cronulla's diversity and capacity to support young artists. Create more unique venues if you are to remove some.
The removal of Cronulla's only backpackers will decrease revenue created by tourism and remove Cronulla from the travellers map.
The percentage of trimming of the heritage protected Fig Tree on the corner of Wilbar Ave/Kingsway required to make way for development is still yet to be determined. It is confirmed that at least one supporting root of the tree is to be severed for the development.
"Enhance the arrival experience at Kingsway and the Railway Station"
"Investigate options to improve parking and local traffic"
"Explore local history and stories past and present"
- It cannot be denied that El Sol, Space 44, Pro Dive (Since 1969) and our backpackers are rich with stories past and present. Stories of everyone coming together over music and art, backpackers experiencing the life we're lucky to have in Cronulla and of people braving there first dive for almost 50 years!
"Create a diverse safe night time experience"
- The removal of two culturally significant venues for music and art will limit creative performers in Cronulla. This will decrease Cronulla's diversity and capacity to support young artists.
Ensure Cronulla is a "unique and memorable place" not "trying to be somewhere else"
Please sign this petition so we can show Lauren Franks (of the Sutherland Shire Council) we care about our Cronulla, we care about our culture, live music and unique places that set us aside from other seaside towns.
Zoe Catterall needs your help with "Lauren Franks: Stop the development of 40-44 Kingsway and the inevitable overdevelopment of Cronulla". Join Zoe and 3,047 supporters today. | c4 | 4 | 2 | 4 | 4 |
BkiUa0_xaKPQoktPflFQ | Lord Acton, the British historian wrote - "Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely. Great men are almost always bad man."
A corruption charge against any minister who has turned hostile towards the ruling party is not a new phenomenon. YS Jagan Mohan Reddy, former MP of Congress and son of Late YSR Reddy (Ex Chief Minister of A.P.) was charged under prevention of corruption act for his assets amounting approximately Rs. 365 crore. He left Congress in 2010 because Congress had given another candidate's name for the seat of Chief Minister instead of Jagan's name. This made Jagan furious who was one of the most deserving candidates for the Chief Minister's seat in Andhra Pradesh. There were also hopes among the people that the son of Late YSR Reddy would be the new successor after he died under mysterious circumstances in a plane crash. The injustice made Jagan launch another party named YSR Congress (after his dead father). But, this did not go well with the Congress party. They used every trick in the book to curb his growing power in the state. They launched a monumental, devastating and permanent injury to his reputation by misusing the CBI and naming him in a disproportionate assets case.
CBI which has often been dubbed as 'Congress Bachao Institution' (Save Congress Institution) is known to have misused its power when it has to save the government or teach a lesson to the erring ministers. It makes one ponder on the question – Why were such allegations made against Jagan Mohan Reddy only when he left the Congress party?
Many cases where Congress ministers have come under the scanner have been in limelight only because they have been Supreme Court monitored cases. For eg. 2G, CWG (where the Shunglu Panel investigated the scam), Adarsh Scam,etc. How ironical is it that only when Supreme Court monitors cases where there has been involvement by the Congress ministers, we see Congress ministers coming under limelight and not when CBI independently investigates.
Every government has been accused of misusing the CBI for their own interest. That is why the government in power often allows its ministers to go unpunished. We saw that it was a major demand in the Jan Lokpal Bill to make the CBI independent and remove its functioning from the clutches of the government.
This is a prima facie case where Jagan Mohan has to pay the price for going against the ruling party. Till the time he was in Congress, he wasn't accused of having illegitimate money to the tune of 360 crores. Now, when he left the ruling party, the Congress sends CBI after Jagan to howl him. The issue to be debated here is not whether Jagan is an honest man or a corrupt man. The issue that comes to the forefront is that why is CBI misused by the Congress to such an extent. Kalmadi still hasn't got any punishment even after the Shunglu panel accused him of gross corruption. He still walks in and out of the CBI office as if it is just another day at work. He has been not behind the bars only because of his loyalty to the ruling party.
Patriotic Indians should question such gross abuse of power by the ruling party and not let the innocent get punished. | c4 | 4 | 2 | 5 | 3 |

How Long Will the Global Dominance of the English Language Last?
English is the dominant inter-language of the world and it is used and spoken by vastly more people than those who have it as their first or family language. How long will this last?

David Bellos: The situation today with respect to the diversity of language in the world is probably rather special. It's probably not got any real historical precedent. English is the dominant inter-language of the world and it is used and spoken by vastly more people than those who have it as their first or family language. Maybe up to a billion people speak English in the world who are not English speakers, if you see what I mean, to some level of proficiency. It's got nothing to do with the intrinsic qualities of the English language itself. English is no more simple, no more complicated, no more accurate and no more fuzzy than any other language in the world.
Although Latin performed a similar functional role for a thousand years between the Roman Empire and the 15th, 16th century as the language of science and as the language of theology and so forth in intercultural communication at a high level, I think English has spread much further both in the sense of the planet, but also much further down in terms of its usages.
This has one obviously negative consequence and that is that the relatively small number of people who speak English as their native tongue, as their dominant tongue and no other are becoming unique. They are going to be very soon the only monolingual people in the world, lacking that double dimension that having another language always gives you. So that's the negative consequence.
I don't personally believe that the dominance of English as a global communication device is going to have any impact on the diversity of human languages. People are going to go on speaking Chinese and French and Arabic and everything else. Some of those smaller languages will die out, but other dialects and forms of speech will arise. I don't think there is going to be a kind of planetary unification of all forms of speech. It's not at all likely and nothing to be frightened of because it's not going to happen.
It produces a sense of inferiority and irritation and annoyance and a degree of anti-Americanism amongst the speakers of those languages that in past centuries held the role of global inter-language, notably French, which was of course the international language for a couple of hundred years, but then so was Latin and so was Greek and so was Syriac and so was Arabic and so was Chinese. I mean many languages have had this role and they've lost it. After all Sumerian, remained a written language for a large part of the Middle East of the Assyrian sphere of influence for many centuries and the last uses of Sumerian for ceremonial and religious purposes date from the third century Common Era. It had a run of 3,000 years. Now English as a global language has had a run of, I don't know, less than 50 years really, so we're early days yet and I don't know what's going to happen in the future, but the one thing I'm sure of is that nothing lasts forever.

Why law enforcement is essential to stopping illegal wildlife trade
SIMON ROBERTSON ON THU, 07/27/2017
Image ©Steve Slater
Have you ever seen a rhino walking into the African sunset? It's an unbelievable sight. Now let me ask you this- have you ever seen a carcass of a dead adult rhino with its horn sawn off and the body lying on the dusty ground? It is an unforgettable and tragic sight.
The world's wildlife is under a grave threat of either being slaughtered or captured alive. The wildlife commodities — whether an ivory tusk, a rhino horn, live birds or reptiles — are illegally moved through well-organized transnational supply chains and sold in international markets where consumers are willing to pay a high price.
Over the years, reports have valued the illegal wildlife trade to be a multibillion dollar industry (UNEP INTERPOL 2016). The opportunity to make huge profits with relatively low risk of punishment has given rise to the involvement of organized crime groups taking advantage of gaps in legislation, and weak law enforcement and criminal justice systems. Using sophisticated schemes they can quickly adapt to changing conditions to keep the supply going. Employing a complex web of poachers, illegal loggers, middlemen, networks of traffickers, transporters, and traders, these criminal groups stay one step ahead of the law. However, the illegal trade is not limited to organized groups as often it is small scale and country based, satisfying local demand or personal needs. The UNODC World Wildlife Crime Report 2016 goes into detail about the extent of the problem and explains how networks operate.
Because of this criminal activity, our ecosystems are being damaged beyond repair and some species of wildlife are being pushed to the brink of extinction. This is contrary to the aim of the Convention on Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES) a binding agreement concerning the trade in wildlife signed by 183 parties to safeguard many species from over-exploitation. Today, it accords varying degrees of protection to approximately 5,600 species of wildlife and 30,000 species of plants from a total ban in trade to trade under controlled conditions.
How do we strengthen law enforcement response to the illegal wildlife trade? Ideally, poaching should be stopped at the site level. This requires effective patrolling by dedicated law enforcement personnel i.e. park rangers with resources and equipment to face well-armed poachers. This is essential for deterrence, interception and in the worst-case scenario having to secure a crime scene. To complement these efforts, park rangers need to work alongside local communities who are the eyes and ears on the ground and can provide valuable information for investigations. The role of communities in law enforcement is essential since there are many small-scale, opportunistic poachers who are easily recognizable. Thus, incentivizing communities and raising local awareness helps law enforcement efforts.
Enforcement agencies need to think like criminals, but act within the law. They need to understand how a criminal group operates and respond quickly to information received. Data is crucial for investigators who seek out crime perpetrators and aim to bringing them to justice under national wildlife laws or the CITES agreement. There are many challenges during this phase since laws are weak, sentences for wildlife crimes are not tough, corruption can lead to the case being dropped, and lack of capacity could lead to the case being overlooked due to technicalities. Furthermore, there needs to be a judicial process that is not hindered by political interference.
Data is also key for intelligence officials who work proactively, building on information to develop intelligence packages on networks and routes. Such intelligence-led operations should lead to disruption, intervention and arrests to prevent crimes from being committed.
To make this all work, it is essential that a robust wildlife crime legal framework exists that allows law enforcement officials to work effectively and efficiently. This requires strong political will and it is the role of government to enact the laws. Additionally, there needs to be careful investment in capacity building, data collection, investigative techniques, intelligence training and judicial training. The Global Wildlife Program, led by the World Bank and funded by the Global Environment Facility is facilitating elements of law enforcement capacity building across 19 countries in Asia and Africa.
If the wildlife commodity is in transit, intercepting it requires understanding the transit routes (whether through air or ship) and knowing which containers/packages are most likely to contain contraband. The map below represents the flights used to traffic rhino horn products through the air transport sector. This includes instances where the product did not actually enter a country because it was seized earlier in the routes. Each line represents one flight and the bubbles represent the total number of flights to and from each city.
Source: Flying under the Radar, Wildlife Trafficking in the Air Transport Sector, Mary Utermohlen & Patrick Baine, (2017). TRAFFIC. Cambridge, UK
Depending upon the type of commodity, routes change, the mode of transportation changes and the method of concealment differs. For investigators and custom officials who want to intercept and seize the contraband, there are tools and databases that are available to assist in this process.
A recent analysis on international funding going towards Asia and Africa to combat wildlife trade amounted to US $1.3 billion from January 2010 to June 2016. Of this, 46% went towards protected area management to help prevent poaching, 19% to law enforcement, 8% for policy and legislation, and less than 6% went to communication and awareness.
Source: Analysis of International Funding to Tackle Illegal Wildlife Trade, World Bank (2016)
For law enforcement efforts to succeed, there needs to be better coordination and targeted investments. This will help ensure that enforcement agencies have the training to use resources such as forensic science, scanning systems, electronic databases to effectively develop intelligence packages to implicate the offenders and make wildlife trade a risky, high capital cost business, rendering it futile to anyone who wants to get involved.

BkiUfbw4eIZjf-0DqgV5 | Will we address the unincorporated problem?
The Chron proposes an agenda item for the Lege.
The challenges of unincorporated Harris County are nothing new. For decades neighborhoods have sprouted up in the vast prairie west of Houston without any formal municipal governmental structure. Special districts have provided basic needs, such as neighborhood streets and water. The county government picked up the rest — notably law enforcement and roads. No mayors. No city halls. No local sales taxes.
This model is becoming unsustainable. If grouped into a single city, the total population of unincorporated Harris County would be the fifth largest in the United States. Issues like infrastructure costs and upkeep, law enforcement and the basic duties of government are piling up, and commissioners court lacks both the funds and the statutory authority to deal with it all.
Meanwhile, obscure rules written in Austin prohibit these neighborhoods from forming their own cities, which could levy sales taxes and pass ordinances. Already existing cities are hesitant to annex special districts, which often have long-term debt.
So why would the Legislature finally address this big-picture issue after ignoring it for so long?
Formal studies, notably from the Kinder Institute, are being published about the problems in these areas — and potential solutions.
The status quo in the unincorporated county can't go on forever, and only Austin can change it.
I basically agree with the premise, but I seriously doubt anything will happen this session. This wasn't a theme that Judge Lina Hidalgo campaigned on, and I expect she's got her hands (and the county's lobbyists' hands) full right now. More to the point, it's not clear what kind of legislation would be proposed to remedy the problems. Something like this needs to have a vetting period, with opportunities for public input, since any change would affect how current residents of unincorporated Harris County would be affected.
There's an analogy here to the oft-lamented-by-the-Chron system of partisan judicial elections. What we have now is flawed, and it's easy to say there must be a better way, but it's all vaporware until something specific gets proposed and advocated. My suggestion would be to lobby Commissioners Court to put together a committee to study the options and propose something that can be turned into a bill one of our legislators can author for 2021. Something concrete has a chance to be enacted, so start with that and maybe we can actually make a change happen. | c4 | 5 | 3 | 5 | 5 |

Covid-19: Top Lawyers React to Presidential Decision on Lockdown
Home » News & Articles » Coronavirus · COVID-19 · Lex Community News · News · Nigeria · Presidential broadcast » Covid-19: Top Lawyers React to Presidential…
Yesterday, Sunday, 29th March 2020, the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria addressed the nation on the measures taken to fight the coronavirus pandemic. To some, his speech addressed virtually all the issues that ought to be addressed and that the lock down of Abuja, Lagos State and Ogun State is very sensible.
According to a statement by Ebun-olu Adegboruwa, SAN, a Lagos based Legal Practitioner, the President has no powers to restrict the movement of persons without recourse to the National Assembly.
He said that the President has not invoked his powers under the Constitution to declare any state of emergency, which must be approved by the National Assembly.
He further stated that "We are running a constitutional democracy and it is illegal for the President to take over the affairs of any State of the Federation without the express consent of the people of that State through their elected representatives. It is only the Governor of the State through the House of Assembly of the State that can make any declaration concerning the people of that State. Little wonder that the President could not cite any law that he relied upon for his declaration. I support every measure taken to contain the Coronavirus pandemic but such must be in accordance with law. If we allow this to stay, then tomorrow the President may just impose total restriction on all States of the Federation for whatever reason."
Mr Adegboruwa SAN urged the President to reverse the restrictions and work with the States concerned in accordance with the laws of our land. Also, there must be measures put in place to address the financial consequences of the proposed shutdown, especially for small scale businesses, those who depend on daily earnings and the needy and vulnerable members of the societies to be affected.
According to an Abuja based lawyer and human rights activist, Frank Tietie, the President has the powers to place a curfew, impose restriction of movement, including a lock down according to the provisions of the Quarantine Act.
The Quarantine Act is reproduced below:
This Act may be cited as the Quarantine Act.
In this Act, unless the context otherwise requires—
" dangerous infectious disease " means cholera, plague, yellow fever, smallpox and typhus, and includes any disease of an infectious or contagious nature which the President may, by notice, declare to be a dangerous infectious disease within the meaning of this Act;[1929 No. 7.]
" local area " means a well-defined area, such as a local government area, a department, a canton, an island, a commune, a town, a quarter of a town, a village, a port, an agglomeration, whatever may be the extent and population of such areas.
3. Power to declare any place an infected local area
The President may, by notice, declare any place whether within or without Nigeria to be an infected local area, and thereupon such place shall be an infected local area within the meaning of this Act. [1929 No. 7.]
4. Regulations
The President may make regulations for all or any of the following purposes;
(a) prescribing the steps to be taken within Nigeria upon any place, whether within or without Nigeria, being declared to be an infected local area;
(b) prescribing the introduction of any dangerous infectious disease into Nigeria or any part thereof from any place without Nigeria, whether such place is an infected local area or not;
(c) preventing the spread of any dangerous infectious disease from any place within Nigeria, whether an infected local area or not, to any other place within Nigeria;
(d) preventing the transmission of any dangerous infectious disease from Nigeria or from any place within Nigeria, whether an infected local area or not, to any place without Nigeria;
(e) prescribing the powers and duties of such officers as may be charged with carrying out such regulations;
(f) fixing the fees and charges to be paid
Mr Tietie said that the President didn't need to cite the law in his address. His speech writers ought to have realized that it would have been more appropriate to cite the law as the legal basis for his directive. We are a country governed by law.

BkiUdDs5qsBDEK-qIlhn | A few days ago my husband came across something called the Master Cleanse, a 10-day detox diet that supposedly does wonders to the body. The diet consists of lemon juice, maple syrup & cayenne pepper. Apparently, lots of people (Beyonce included) have tried it and loved it. My initial reaction to the cleanse was skeptical. Call me crazy, but 10 whole days of filling my body with nothing but a concoction that causes nausea, fatigue, and crazy bowel movements does NOT sound like a fun process to me. I'd much rather continue on my merry way, in denial of the multitudes of toxins festering inside me. | c4 | 3 | 1 | 5 | 1 |
