Tierney sings the road,
By Adri� Guinart "Adri�" (Barcelona, Spain) - See all my reviews
This review is from: American Road (Audio CD)
Tierney Sutton is an amazing jazz vocalist, her last release, called American Road, which collect some re-visitations of the american standards, is nearly a perfect recording. This collaboration between the vocalist and her ensemble has been granted, once more, with two Grammy nominations. In the last recording, you can listen to songs like Wayfaring Stranger, On Broadway, Summertime... everything with one of the best jazz vocalist. If you listen to this record, however, don't expect to find amazing vocals, or complicated arrangements. The music made by this ensemble is classy, and elegant, to an extend that cut's the breath and transport you to the bone of the jazz music itself, no needing of additions or arabesque, or baroque vocals singing, or the music just as a landscape for the virtuosity of the lead vocalist. What is important here is the music by itself. And the journey though some of the american classic standards unveils what jazz music should be.

5.0 out of 5 stars
This review is from: American Road (Audio CD)
Five ENJOYABLE Stars! Outstanding performances by the triple Grammy-nominated Tierney Sutton Band who give us fresh, personal, jazzy renditions of some American music classics that cut a sonic swath through history, folk, faith, Broadway, jazz, and the Great American Songbook. Proving once again that she can sing any song into beautiful submission and bend it to her jazzy will, jazz singer Tierney Sutton is marvelous throughout singing and scatting, while getting the usual superb solos and support from the rest of this long-running band that she is so well integrated into: pianist Christian Jacob, bassists Trey Henry and Kevin Axt, and drummer Ray Brinker. A haunting "Wayfaring Stranger" is delivered over a driving Brinker beat with Tierney soaring above with fresh nuances. The combination of "Shenandoah/The Water is Wide" works beautifully as Tierney weaves these two classics into one mesmerizing tale. While the George Benson version of "On Broadway" is still the best, Tierney and the band convincingly rock hard on this classic, with a great Jacob solo and nice arrangement subtleties. The band takes three great bites out of the Gershwin "Porgy and Bess" apple: "My Man's Gone Now" with a tricky extra beat on the intro and closing, a plaintively lovely and off-kilter "Summertime", and perhaps, best of all, a sensational version of "It Ain't Necessarily So" that got replayed 3 times on my first pass thru and immediately was added to my crowded iPod. Bernstein/Sondheim's "West Side Story" is tapped for "Somewhere" and "Something's Coming/Cool": both very attractive, hip versions. The duo of Tierney and Christian take a dreamy "America the Beautiful" into 'goose bump' territory. Over a decade and a half into a great career, the Tierney Sutton Band deals up another wonderful recording, full of great performances, that is a must for old fans and those new to the uniqueness of this band, where Tierney can always say I'm With the Band. My Highest Recommendation. Five MARVELOUS Stars! (This review is based on my Amazon.com mp3 Cloud upload purchase: 12 tracks: time ~61:10.)

What Gen Z Stars Mean For Advertising
by Mallory Russell on Aug 28, 2:19 PM
The use of celebrities is one of the most effective creative approaches that a brand can take in branded video, television or print. But what happens when the definition of celebrity drastically changes? That's a challenge brands will face as Generation Z becomes a prime consumer market. A recent study from Variety found that American teenagers are more enthralled with YouTube stars than they are the biggest names in the more established entertainment industry.

Next in Cross-Screen Marketing: Attribution, Please
by Daisy Whitney on Aug 27, 3:50 PM
Marketers are keen to move deeper into cross-channel marketing, but they also want more from their campaigns. Namely, they want to better understand the impact of each medium and the path to purchase, according to a report from eMarketer drawing on a survey by the National Advertisers and Forrester Consulting of U.S advertisers. The report also stated that cross-device marketing is the topic that marketers are most eager to learn more about this year.

Video Programmatic Advertising: More Risky Than You Think?
by Jen Sargent on Aug 26, 3:25 PM
Programmatic advertising has gotten a lot of press recently. Many companies in the category are getting funded by VCs, and one has even become publicly traded. There are aspects of programmatic buying that are compelling, but many pitfalls exist, especially when it involves video programmatic buying in open exchanges.

How To Develop Online Video Strategies
by Bill Drolet on Aug 25, 3:34 PM
It's often said that content is king and distribution is queen, but platitudes are a "moral without a fable." That's because relevance is actually king. Consider that there are now over 188 million unique monthly viewers for online video in the U.S. alone. Not every viewer is appropriate for your brand, and your message isn't relevant to everyone. It's important to define your audience, position ads accordingly, and to plan an effective distribution strategy.

Next-Gen Enthused About Video, Research Jobs
by Jed Meyer on Aug 22, 2:52 PM
Everybody knows that you can learn as much from young people as you can teach them, and these days, maybe even more. That's often true at least in my field, which is audience research. I'll give you an example: You read everywhere about the growth of online video. But hearing directly from recent college graduates about their perspective on how they want to consume video content is priceless.

Foot Locker Finds Branded Video Success Going Back To School
by Mallory Russell on Aug 21, 5:17 PM
While not as flashy as the Super Bowl, World Cup, or Holiday, the back-to-school season is important for many brands. And one of the most prolific advertisers during the back-to-school season is Foot Locker. Last year, Foot Locker released six campaigns in August to capitalize on back-to-school shopping. This month alone, it has already released three campaigns with multiple assets, and it doesn't look like it's slowing down.

Going Beyond 'Click-To-Play' For Mobile Video Ads
by John R. Osborn on Aug 20, 10:00 AM
Buyers and sellers of online video advertising have been expanding the scope of T/V (Television/Video) ad messaging from the "click-to-play" constraints of pre-roll and mid-roll "instream" formats to "outstream" formats that run within non-video environments in either an "auto-play" or "view-to-play" manner. Things have been changing rapidly in the mobile video sector as mobile publishers and tech providers look to bring these newer online video formats into the mobile ecosystem.

What You Should Know About Gen Z And Branded Video
by Mallory Russell on Aug 14, 3:11 PM
Marketers are starting to look ahead to Generation Z, a young generation almost the nothing like the one that came before it. Gen Z includes those born after 1995 (some say 2000s), which accounts for 2 billion people worldwide. They grew up in a post-9/11 world, which has made them less optimistic than Millennials. Also, they grew up amid a recession, which has made them more frugal and conservative than Millennials. Gen Z is very socially aware and vocal about its ambition to change the world now, through volunteering -- and in the future, through their jobs.

Marketers Aren't Making Brand Video A Priority, Study Says
by Daisy Whitney on Aug 13, 4:10 PM
Many consumers visit brand Web sites on the hunt for videos, but brands don't often offer enough video content to satisfy the demand. Consumers want video to help make purchase decisions, and 59% of consumers specifically say they're "likely to watch video when visiting a brand web site," according to a study of more than 1.000 consumers and more than 500 marketers from Levels Beyond, a video software company and content inventory platform.

W. Virginia trying to change its hillbilly image
In the next few weeks he will announce a"Come Home to West Virginia" spokesperson—the face of a new campaign to cast the state as a destination for families, entrepreneurs and young leaders. The larger initiative includes temporarily revamping the state slogan (out:"Wild and Wonderful"; in:"Open for Business!"), plowing money into state universities and pushing through tax breaks to encourage in-state filmmaking. Last year the state also launched a $5.5 million wave of splashy national advertisements—appearing on CNN Airport Network, the Golf Channel and in magazines like Fortune and BusinessWeek—touting the international companies that operate locally and flagging the state's economic health. (The unemployment rate is among the lowest in the country, and exports grew 41 percent last year, more than three times the national average.)

Gehenna at Acheron, Aug 2012 (more by Fred Pessaro // BBG)
Good news/bad news situation here. Bad news? Radiation Blackbody has dropped off the previously discussed Catharsis show at Acheron on January 19. The good news? They've been replaced...... by GEHENNA. That's right, the infamous ones will team with their old split-mates to bring their nihilistic black-metal-induced hardcore back to NYC. The band will join Deathcycle (reunion) and Withdrawal for a whopper of a show that will follow ANOTHER whopper of a show the same day, the previously-mentioned late matinee with Vile Gash, Society Nurse, Slices (who released one of my favorite LPs of last year, this is their final NYC appearance!) and Believer/Law. Tickets are on sale for Catharsis/Gehenna, Vile Gash, or both together.
Of course Gehenna is on the East Coast to play A389 in Baltimore that weekend. Though advance tickets for the shows are sold-out, most of the bands will ALSO play pre-shows/matinees that have tickets at the door.
Catharsis's dates have grown since we last spoke, blossoming into an East Coast tour. All Catharsis dates and Gehenna video are listed below.
Gehenna - Brooklyn, Acheron 10 Aug 2012 from (((unartig))) on Vimeo.
January 17, Raleigh, NC at KINGS BARCADE w/ Dead in the Dirt, Man Will Destroy Himself, Gut Feeling (a new ex-Catharsis, ex-Undying band!)
January 18, Baltimore, MD at OTTO BAR (SOLD OUT!)
January 19, Brooklyn, NY at ACHERON w/ Deathcycle, Gehenna, Withdrawal
January 20, Washington D.C. at WAREHOUSE w/ Magrudergrind, Trophy
Wife, Dead in the Dirt, Los Gatos Negros

Book News for Friday, November 20, 2009
Posted by Brockman, November 20, 2009 12:18 pm 1 Comment Filed under: Book News.Today's Bits: oprah calls it quits. new moon rises. lost in february. and more.
- Au Revoir, Oprah: In news that's guaranteed to send publishers into convulsions of horror, Oprah Winfrey is announcing on today's episode that she is folding up her talk show.
Wipe away those tears, Oprah fans: she's turning her attention toward an entire cable network.
The show will end on September 9, 2011, as its 25th season draws to a close....In 2008, Winfrey announced that beginning in 2009, the Discovery Health Channel would be named OWN: The Oprah Winfrey Network. The network is "a multi-platform media company designed to entertain, inform and inspire people to live their best lives," according to Oprah.com. Harpo Productions has also grown to include Harpo Films.
Still, there's no telling what impact this could have on the book industry, which has relied on Oprah's Book Club to launch sometimes-unknown titles into the bestselling stratosphere. Will an entire network of Oprah mean more viewers (and sales), or will fewer people tune in when they can get all-Oprah, all-the-time?
- Moon River: Today is opening day for New Moon, the second film in the Twilight saga. About a year and a half ago, posting the trailer for Twilight on this very website, I scoffed at how terrible and cheesy it looked, and postulated that the film would soon be on its way to DVD.
Which it was — but only after the entire world backed a dumptruck full of money to its front gate.
The trailer for the second film looks every bit as awful to me. But there's no deterring the mega-fans who are mesmerized by unspeakably bad dialogue and skinny, vapid actors casting blank stares of
starvationlonging (and also half-naked pasty English boys and half-naked buff Native American boys). I won't say "teen and pre-teen girls," since I know plenty of adults who will be there — hey, maybe we can get Martha drunk and send her for another hilarious report! (And it's not as if teen and pre-teen boys watch anything better.)Even if their opinions fall mostly on deaf ears, the critics are weighing in, with the film receiving a Metacritic score of 45 (just below average). Some critical bites:
"May be one of the most fun-free, angst-ridden teens we've seen on the big screen in a long time." — St. Louis Post-Dispatch (yes, that's a favorable review)
"Despite melodrama that, at times, is enough to induce diabetes, there's enough wolf whistle in this sexy, scary romp to please anyone." — Washington Post
"More solidly crafted and insults its audience quite a bit less than its predecessor, and it sets up several nice emotionally complicated cliffhangers for the next installment. I hope its target audience has a blast." — The Oregonian
"Let's just say it: It's great there's a movie that makes teenage girls scream. Half the movies Hollywood makes are designed to make teenage boys scream, and those boy movies are just as ridiculous and a lot nastier than New Moon." — San Francisco Chronicle
"It's a cheap, shoddy piece of work, one that banks on moviegoers' anticipation without even bothering to craft a satisfying experience for them. Its pandering is an insult." — Salon.com
"Chaste, oddly bloodless, and nearly plotless saga." — Village Voice
"The Twilight Saga: New Moon takes the tepid achievement of Twilight (1988), guts it, and leaves it for undead." — Roger Ebert
I almost forgot this movie is supposed to be about werewolves and vampires. Who would have imagined there would ever be a series of books and films that would make Anne Rice's swoony vamps look bad-ass by comparison?
- Eating His Words: In the New York Times, Michiko Kakutani takes a huge, meaty chomp out of Jonathan Safran Foer's new book about veganism, Eating Animals.
Because "Eating Animals" remains heavily indebted to Mr. Pollan's book [The Omnivore's Dilemma], along with Peter Singer's Animal Liberation and the work of various reporters, Mr. Foer's chief contribution to the subject seems to lie in the use of his literary gifts...to give the reader some very visceral, very gruesome descriptions of factory farming and the slaughterhouse.
[...] An earnest if clumsy chronicle of the author's own evolving thinking about animals and vegetarianism, this uneven volume meanders all over the place, mixing reportage and research with stream-of-consciousness musings and asides.
However, the Christian Science Monitor has a far kinder reaction:
Throughout, one is struck by Foer's eloquence. As a novelist, he has turned his formidable powers of expression to the seemingly infinite problem of animal suffering. Yet "Eating Animals" is not "a straightforward case for vegetarianism."... "Eating Animals" makes the plaintive case that if history and tradition are not exactly trumped by animal suffering, they certainly ought to be informed by it. After all, nothing enhances fellowship like a little moral ambition.
It is interesting to note, I think, that the book maintains what shall henceforth be known as "the J. S. Foer cover design." You could set Eating Animals, Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close, and Everything Is Illuminated side-by-side on a bookshelf and feel a keen sense of deja vu.

- Land of the Lost: ABC has announced that the next — and final — season of Lost will begin airing on February 2nd, 2010.
I wish we could be as confident that we'll have J. Wood back to blog for us, but we just don't know yet. If not, expect much frustrated head-scratching among fans.
Book News Round-up:
- Well, you can't say HarperCollins wasted its money on Sarah Palin — at least, in economic terms. According to the Daily Beast, her memoir, Going Rogue sold more than 300,000 copies in its first week.
- In the wake of the gigantic success of Stephenie Meyer's Twilight books and their film versions (see above), you can't blame publishers for seeking out the next Twilight series. (Look how well that worked for things like "the next Harry Potter" and "the next Dan Brown.") The Daily Beast has some candidates.
- NPR looks back on 21 years of The Onion. Check out the new book Our Front Pages for a hilariously big (literally — it's about a foot tall) retrospect.
- Choosing an E-Book Reader for Christmas. For Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, and non-denominational holidays, I guess plain old books will do.

Tracy -
#1 - Great focus and conversion! I agree with the other CC on this one.
#2 - I too like the mood, and agree about liking the b&w better.
#3 - Yeah, I'm not sure exactly how to change the color. Maybe a paint bucket? Select the same yellow color, and fill it?
#4 - Very nice! Like the edit on it. The only thing is that I wish that bright spot in the bg wasn't there. It's catching my eye a little too much.
Okay, I don't have anything besides vacation shots for any CC. I was REALLY frustrated with my camera the entire trip. And the only nice lens I have is my 50mm, which is way too tight in small spaces to use, so that didn't help with getting light in only using my kit 18-55mm. I HATE using my flash, even in snaps, so I got mad at my camera quite often when we were in restaurants and such and I needed to use it I'm taking all my birthday money and putting it toward my new camera fund. I'm about $600 in, and still a LONG ways off from the 6D that I want. I'm hoping that Drew gets a nice bonus this year LOL!
Anyway, I didn't get as many shots around the World as I would have liked because of how busy it was. I did manage a few though. I am by no means a landscape photographer, so I'd love some feedback on these. I struggle so much with comp on landscapes. I just can't "feel" it, if that makes any sense. I can look at a scene and think it's beautiful, but I can never figure out how to capture it in my camera.
1/1000 f/5.6 ISO 200 55mm (If I would have been thinking, I probably should have closed up my AP and adjusted accordingly...)
IMG_5134-2web by Stephanie.Miller, on Flickr
1/500 f/5 ISO 100 44mm
Not super happy with this one. Probably my AP. And I may have oversaturated in PP. But I loved the fall decorations.
IMG_5060-2web by Stephanie.Miller, on Flickr
1/320 f/11 ISO 200 55mm
I'm the most happy with this one. I took my time, since I had it, while waiting on Drew and Carson to finish up a ride Jackson was too small for. Just wish I was there at golden hour instead of mid-day.
IMG_5499-2 by Stephanie.Miller, on Flickr
Steph, I think you did a great job with these. It can be really, really tough to capture things like this well, and you did an awesome job!
#1 is beautifully composed and exposed. I definitely would close down the ap more, but at least at this size, you can't see any real softness anywhere, so it still works.
#2 is so great of the castle, against that awesome blue sky. I would've liked to see the castle more in the line of thirds on the left, so that we could've seen more of the fall decorations; but maybe that wasn't very possible?
#3 would've been much better at golden hour, I agree. It's nicely composed and well done, just a bit flat. (But since I take most of my landscapes in mid-day because that's when I'm out and about with the kids, that happens to me ALL the time, too!)

Micah born Jan. 20, 2009
Yes, I wish I would have been paying attention a little better in #2. I have several shots, but I was walking and shooting at the same time, trying to book it to the rides before the park closed (it was closing at 7 that night for the Halloween party).
Steph, walking and shooting makes it hard, for sure! You did a great job.
I don't have a lot from this past week. Brutal cold and house guests. But here's a couple of shots I'm debating between for a "yellow" challenge. Which is better?
#1. No settings handy, but I could look them if you'd like.
#2. f10, SS 1/40, ISO 1250
#3. And I also have this one from a couple of weeks ago. Hard to see at this size, but there's just the tiniest sliver of the moon in the sky. I don't have settings immediately handy for this.

Nora born Feb. 14th, 2007
Micah born Jan. 20, 2009
1. This one is probably my fave. I love what you captured here.
2. This might be me but I feel like this would be stronger if you were crouched down and shot whole bodies it would be better.does that make sense?
3. Again...might be me but I can't tell whats going on. I wish it was a closer crop with less trees on the left.
Tracy- To be honest, I would go with #1- love the sky here! I think it goes more with yellow. #3 is my next (LOVE THIS ONE!) but I feel like yellow is the last color noticed.
Tracy, I agree #1 but what about with a slightly crop??
#1 I like it. Colour is good, composition is pleasing. I love the contrast in the different textures and your whites are white without being blown. Good work.
#2 I know what these places are like, so it probably wasn't possible, but it might have been better if you could have changed your angle slightly so that the buildings created more of a line to the castle. I'm not keen on the colour but that castle is beautiful.
#3 Quite nice. I agree with Tracy that it is a little flat. If you had shot from a little lower down it might have had more of a 'wow' factor too, I think.
Ack!! I haven't been on the computer in a few days. My fily ce for a visit, and I have people staying in my house right now, making it hard. I'll see what I can do.
On that last one, it was taken from a bridge. It was the only place with that view unfortunately. Bit I totally get what you're saying. Man, I am still wishing that it wasn't so busy
Wow! Just noticed that auto correct really butchered that last post of mine! LOL!
I feel like the color is off in #1 just slightly. Maybe a little too blueish? But between this and #2 I like this one better.
#2 isn't a favorite of yours that I've seen. It's not bad. It's just not capturing me for some reason. I can't quite put my finger on it though.
#3 is gorgeous! LOVE the colors and the little sliver of moon!

LOS ANGELES, CA - NOVEMBER 06: Goaltender Pekka Rinne of the Nashville Predators looks on prior to being replaced in the second period during the NHL game against the Los Angeles Kings at Staples Center on November 6, 2010 in Los Angeles, California. The Kings scored four goals against Rinne before he was replaced by back-up goaltender Anders Lindback . The Kings defeated the Predators 4-1. (Photo by Victor Decolongon/Getty Images)
Tampa Bay Lightning general manager Steve Yzerman was true to his word. Rather than allocate big bucks for a veteran goaltender like Roberto Luongo, he acquired a younger player capable of growing with his team.And rather than pay a big price for a Cory Schneider of the Vancouver Canucks or Jonathan Bernier of the Los Angeles Kings, he got his next goaltender at a more moderate cost.Anders Lindback arrived from Nashville with depth forward Kyle Wilson and a seventh-round pick for two second-round picks in the coming draft (Nos. 37 and 50), a third-round pick in 2013 and the rights to goaltender Sebastien Caron -- who spent the bulk of last season playing Germany.Lindback was stuck behind Predators star Pekka Rinne, one of the top few NHL goaltenders and a real workhorse. Lindback has played just 38 NHL games, but he showed enough in limited duty (16-13-2, 2.53, .914 save percentage) to convince Yzerman than he could graduate into a No. 1 role."We've watched a lot of his games," Yzer...

Follow My Fork – On Set
by Secretary Confidential in View All Posts, View Video Only, May 15th, 2009Above is my second installment of Follow My Fork. If you did not catch the first vlog, check it out here.
Today, my nose and fork led me to the set of spirited, bright-haired Anne Burrell's Secrets of a Restaurant Chef. There, I tracked down intern Ian, resident expert on everything edible – like Kabocha (a Japanese squash). He let me nibble on some Squash Bread Pudding (who knew squash could be so worldly!). Also, I got to try some delicious skate, a fish- a not so nice name but a tasty treat. You'll be able to see this fare when it airs on Anne's show this fall.
Until next week. Here's to Eating Well!
Yours Truly,

Can a lack of training in the Care Industry result in inadequate care?
After the horrendous documentary on Tuesday evening on BBC1,that highlighted the 'torture' of patients in a hospital for people with Learning & Behavioural Difficulties, it can only emphasise the need for staff to have good and adequate training, which is monitored and reviewed.
Unfortunately as highlighted in subsequent news reports this cannot be an isolated incident. Bad practices are being carried out across the country and are not acted upon, however most are not systematic abuse of this nature, but abuse because of the lack of effective training and monitoring of staff.
The CQC can only observe what is going on at the time of visits and whistle blowing is the most efficient way of addressing bad practices and acting on them. (Although the CQC did not act in this instance, even when a Trained Nurse Whistleblew.) However a lot of staff employed in the care industry are not even given the basic induction training and are therefore unaware of safe practices and who to report concerns to, allowing bad practices develop.
At MJ Training we can train, support / care staff in all aspects of mandatory training, from Induction, to formal First Aid, Food Safety, Health & Safety, Safeguarding of Vulnerable Adults, Child Protection and more. We work with candidates and employers to offer a support and advice service for all our candidates to discuss matters that relate to training they have had, or believe they will benefit from.
As an employer or an employee can you afford not to ensure that you and your staff are adequately trained and supported? Let us help you to ensure your training is safe and effective. Contact us for more information.

Green growth presents a new approach to economic growth - putting well-being at the centre of development while ensuring that natural assets continue to provide the resources and environmental services to support sustainable development. The OECD works with a network of development co-operation agencies, countries and other development partners to share experience, facilitate lesson-learning and to promote good practice in integration of green growth objectives into development planning and policy. The core aim is to ensure that development co-operation activities successfully support country-led development policies and planning to deliver economic growth that is both green and inclusive. |
Green Growth, Developing Countries and Development Policy - Biodiversity and Development Co-operation -
Tools for Green Growth
1. Green Growth, Developing Countries and Development Policy |
Rapidly accelerating growth in low- and medium-income developing countries raises the stakes for investments in development but also the opportunities to choose how to develop. Green models for development offer an alternative that relies on and values natural assets, and that promotes the well-being and livelihoods of people in developing countries.
Towards Green Growth in Southeast Asia (2014) This publication provides evidence that, with the right policies and institutions, Southeast Asia can pursue green growth and thus sustain the natural capital and environmental services, including a stable climate, on which prosperity depends. |
OECD Post-2015: Global and local environmental sustainability, development and growth (2014) This is Element 4, Paper 1 of the OECD Reflection papers on the Post-2015 Development Agenda. For more information, see here. |
Putting Green Growth at the Heart of Development (2013) This publication explains why green growth is vital to secure a more sustainable future for developing countries. Covering 74 policies and measures from 37 countries and 5 regional initiatives, this publication outlines an action-oriented twin-track agenda to guide national and international policies and practices to successfully tackle green growth. |
Green Growth and Poverty Reduction: Policy Coherence for pro-Poor Growth (2013) This paper explores the policy coherence for development dimensions of green growth strategies pursued by OECD member states. |
Making Growth Green and Inclusive: The Case of Cambodia (2013) This report presents a case study on Cambodia that is designed to answer the following questions: Can developing countries strike a balance between economic growth, societal well-being and environmental protection? Can inclusive, green growth be a way forward? |
Making Growth Green and Inclusive: The Case of Ethiopia (2013) This report showcases the holistic approach to growth that the Ethiopian Government has recently developed, which aims to tackle the issues inherent in growth paths that produce environmental problems, and to realise potentials from investing in Ethiopia's natural assets. |
Key OECD documents on Green Growth
This website draws together key OECD documents on green growth from across the whole organisation. This includes the Green Growth Studies series, the Green Growth Papers series, and the OECD Green Growth Strategy Package.
The objective of this Workshop was to share experience, identify lessons and promote good practice among development partners on how to advance country-led inclusive green growth through in-country development planning and policy processes.
The 2013 Forum discussed how governments can improve their investment policy framework to reduce the risk and attract long-term private finance in support of green growth.
This Workshop expanded the G20 Development Working Group's (DWG) dialogue with representatives from developing countries on the lessons learned from their own experiences in designing and implementing inclusive green growth strategies.
National Scoping Workshop on Inclusive Green Growth in Zambia, Chisamba, Zambia, 4-5 July 2013
This event was organised by the government of Zambia, with support from the OECD, the African Development Bank (AfDB) and the International Institute for Environment and Development (IIED) to improve the knowledge base to help the government engage with local stakeholders to plan a transition towards an inclusive green economy. The Workshop report is available here.
The Government of Zambia hosted two back-to-back workshops in January 2013 under the theme "Green Growth in Africa: Concepts, Tools and Strategies for Building Greener Economies and a Sustainable Future" in partnership with the African Development Bank, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Finland, and the OECD. The workshops presented conceptual issues and policy tool kits on implementing green growth policy measures and strategic environmental assessments.

2. Biodiversity and Development Co-operation |
To facilitate green growth and sustainable development in partner countries, development co-operation agencies aim to support countries to integrate local and global environmental concerns into their development policies. In a new project, the OECD is examining how development co-operation partners are advancing biodiversity and development objectives in practice, the challenges and opportunities and the lessons learnt to date.
A scoping paper aiming to understand the state-of-play of development co-operation support in promoting the integration of biodiversity into development is currently under preparation, and will:
(i) review key statistics and characteristics of Official Development Assistance (ODA) to biodiversity in partner developing countries;
(ii) examine the frameworks, strategies and mechanisms that donor agencies use to mainstream biodiversity into development co-operation and development planning at country level;
(ii) explore how partner countries are managing the synergies and trade-offs involved in the development-biodiversity nexus, and to monitor and evaluate the impacts of their biodiversity projects and programmes; and
(iv) review how donors are aligning with the needs and priorities of partner countries, and how they are harmonising their activities.
The scoping paper will showcase examples of good practice, as well as challenges and bottlenecks.
Flyers with present and past OECD DAC statistics and analysis on Aid to Biodiversity is available on the Rio markers website.
The Environment Directorate of the OECD has also done extensive work on Economics and Policies for Biodiversity.
For more information, contact Jan Corfee-Morlot (firstname.lastname@example.com) or
Anna Drutschinin (firstname.lastname@example.com)
3. Tools for Green Growth |
Strategic environmental assessment (SEA) and enhancing capacity for environmental management and governance are important tools for green growth, both for developing countries pursuing green models of development, and for development co-operation agencies that are supporting green growth and integrating the environment into their development co-operation activities.
Strategic environmental assessment (SEA) consists of a range of analytical and participatory approaches that aim to integrate environmental considerations into policies, plans and programmes and evaluate the inter-linkages with economic and social considerations. Our involvement in the Strategic Environmental Assessment Network has enabled us to produce guidance notes to promote a more harmonised, effective approach to SEA, working alongside key donor and development agencies. | |
Enhancing Capacity for Environmental Management and Governance is relevant both to environment and development co-operation officials in providing development assistance, and to officials in developing countries themselves. This OECD policy guidance outlines steps to be considered when building capacity for greening national development planning, national budgetary processes and key economic sector strategies. It identifies the key actors to be engaged in the decision making processes, possible institutional capacity needs and suggests how these can be addressed. |

Kelley Williams-Bolar made national headlines back in January when she was caught sending her two daughters across district lines from the woeful Akron Public Schools to the plusher Copley-Fairlawn School District. In the name of her cause, pitchforks were raised, battle trumpets were sounded, and petitions were signed?no fewer than eight ?Save Kelley? Facebook pages were created.
And the same predictable tempest has already begun to brew around the case of Tonya McDowell, a Connecticut mother now fined over $15,000 for sending her son to a neighboring, out-of-bounds school district. Probably rightfully so. Both cases offer school-choice advocates clear examples of students and parents hurt by onerous and antiquated districting systems. They both offer a Rosa Parks-like poster child to prove how decent people are being hurt. Williams-Bolar was a student-teacher, working to become licensed in Ohio educator, clearly dedicated to K-12 education. And McDowell is homeless.
Where they diverge, and what is most interesting about McDowell's situation, is in the last word of the previous sentence: homeless.
Per the McKinney-Vento Act (really, it's just 185 pages of NCLB), homeless students must be allowed access to their ?school of origin for the duration of their homelessness.? Details about McDowell's situation have yet to surface, but out of the fog we learn a few key facts: McDowell and her son are homeless, splitting their time between a homeless shelter and a friend's apartment in Bridgeport, CT. To attain access to the Norwalk Public Schools, McDowell...
Detroit, with its embarrassingly low NAEP scores, seems to have tried it all: They've gone from an elected school board to one that is mayorally appointed and back again. They've fallen under state control and been assigned an emergency financial manager. They've closed schools, renegotiated teacher contracts, and, most recently, pledged to convert over 30 percent of its schools into charters.
These are all reasonable, actionable initiatives. But none are what DPS needs. The district needs to break the glass and hit the reset button. It needs more than minor tweaks to the collective-bargaining agreement and promises that a few charters will be the kryptonite to the chronic failure that has plagued Motown schools.
As famed Recovery School District leader Paul Vallas frankly put it:
I think what Detroit has to do?they have to right-size themselves. Or the budget spiral is going to continue.? Converting schools that you were thinking of closing to charters, that's not getting at the end-of-the-line financial problems that plague the district.
Golly, that's a smart man.
?Daniela Fairchild...
Following Diane Ravitch on Twitter is sort of like giving a six-year-old a kazoo on a long car trip. You know that by doing so, there's a very strong probability that it will result in near constant aggravation or annoyance. But you do it anyway, because somewhere deep in your troubled psyche you thrive on provocation.
Being provocative isn't always a bad thing ? and Ravitch does it well. Her latest charge to Twitter followers is pretty pointless, though. She suggests a naming contest for charter school names (#charterschoolnames) and then retweets suggestions from followers that range from mildly funny to offensive, especially to the poor, mostly minority families who flee their traditional school for an alternative and who certainly wouldn't categorize themselves as ?privileged.? Here are some of the worst:
Wow. This ridiculous Twitter anti-charter rant is more like giving the child a drum set. Ohio Gadfly suggests other charter school names that are probably more accurate, at least from the perspective of the families and kids who utilize such options, like ?Kids who would otherwise not have a shot in hell because their current school is failing ACADEMY.?
Flypaper readers, please weigh in with other suggestions...
As you probably know by now, the President and Congress came to a budget agreement late last night that will keep the government operating through the end of the fiscal year. The deal apparently includes a five-year reauthorization of the DC Opportunity Scholarship Program, a popular voucher program for kids in the District:
The D.C. Opportunity Scholarship Program ? which provides low-income District students with federal money to attend private schools ? is a top priority of Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio). The program was closed to new entrants by Democrats in 2009, but Boehner has sought to revive and expand the program. The House passed a Boehner-authored bill last month -- the SOAR Act -- to reauthorize the program for five more years, and that bill will be included in the final spending deal and signed into law by Obama.
The SOAR Act includes the so-called "three sector" payments, meaning that DCPS and public charter schools will also benefit from the program. I worked in the charter financing office in DC last summer and saw how much good those funds have done for the charter sector in the city. This seems like a big win for school choice and all kids in DC.
?Chris Tessone...
Ohio is in the midst of its biennial budget debate and there has been much angst and ink spilled about a proposal in the budget bill (HB 153) to create a ???parent trigger??? for the state's truly woeful schools. The proposal has triggered front page new stories, strongly worded editorials against the idea, and public testimony in House hearings on the budget dismissing the idea as another assault on public schools.
The bill would allow parents to petition a school district to force reforms in a school that, for at least three consecutive years, has been ranked in the lowest 5 percent of all district-operated schools statewide based on its performance index score (which is a measure of student achievement across all grades and subjects). Parents would be allowed to file a petition requesting the district to do one of the following:
This is strong medicine for sure, and for truly atrocious schools necessary. Now, the part of the story that has been missed by almost everyone is how few schools this law would actually impact. The bar for triggering...

Reigning Olympic champions in the K-2 500 Nina Gopova-Trofimova and Galina Alekseyeva were in attendance at the 1980 Summer Olympics in a bid to defend their crown and were also representing the reigning World Champions. They were certain to encounter a challenge from East Germany, winners of the 1977 and 1978 World Championships, who sent Carsta Genäuß and Martina Bischof to the Games. Romania, meanwhile, had medaled at each of the last three World Championships (silver in 1977, bronze in 1978 and 1979) with Agafia Buhaev and Nastasia Nichitov, but the latter was not present in Moscow and thus Buhaev was partnered with Elisabeta Băbeanu instead.
The Soviet Union bested Romania in the opening round, but it was East Germany who posted the fastest time. In the final Genäuß and Bischof were far and away the best crew on the water and the won gold by a margin of over three seconds ahead of the Soviets, who lost their title and were forced to settle for silver. Hungary's Éva Rakusz and Mária Zakariás, meanwhile, snuck ahead of the Romanians and captured silver by a margin of only 0.09 seconds.
