11/11 Corfu
We left the ship late and spent some time using the Port's free wifi. We were heading to the bus stop to take a bus into town when we ran into an enterprising taxi driver. He was waiting at the bus stop instead of in the line of taxis looking for €100 fares to tour the island. He offered us a €10 trip to the historic district and the same back. We found ...

11/02 Boarding Princess
Somehow stuff was more difficult to get into the suitcases than to get out, but we were already to go by 11am. The owner of the B&B had to let us off in the parking lot and we took a bus to Princess. We had to yell at the driver to stop as he went whizzing by, but were grateful that he didn't leave us there and zoom off with out luggage. The Ocean Princess is a former Renaissance ship and is very classic and ...
Corfu - Another day in Greece

We headed out of town to Achilleion Palace, the retreat for the Empress Elizabeth of Austria. We had learned about her life when we were in Vienna last year. She built this house in Corfu in late 19th century style and decorated it with Gods of Ancient Greece, primarily Achilles for which the palace is named. We spent a couple of very interesting hours in both the house and the gardens and admiring the spectacular views. Did I mention that ...

Neuma doors
I'm replacing doors in my home and need fiberglass because of high moisture problems. Has anyone heard of or had experience with Neuma doors.
I've sold quite a few Neuma doors. Here in Houston, they're popular because of the moisture issues. Neuma's doors are solid and well made.
The only problem I've had with them is customer service when there's a problem - they are slow to respond, and do not communicate well.
I have been calling around companies here in Houston, and two of them are highly suggesting Neuma Doors. HOwever, based on older reviews, I have read quite negative reviews on their warranty and customer service.
Does anybody have any updated experience in terms of their qualities and warranty/cust service?
The doors I am planning to get is a Hinged Double Door (only 1 door active), in swing.
Any input is greatly appreciated.
Thank You!
My research in Florida confirms Ultrawindows' experience.
Here is a link that might be useful: BBB Neuma doors
Hi Flaamy:
That's what I'm afraid of. Seems like so many people have warned off about their warranty/customer service. But the two companies that quoted me said they "never" have any problem with their cs. So now I know.
Can you suggest another brand of door that is about the same price range as Neuma. I really wanted the Provia, but it's so hard to find one in Houston, and I'm not sure what their price range is for a regular size double door in swing 72x80.
If you can offer your suggestion, I would really appreciate it.
Perhaps ultrawindows could offer suggestions.
As you know from my other posts, I purchased Simington Reflections 5500 and am quite satisfied. I too wanted to look at Provia doors, but they were not in my area. Although I am not in a hurricane zone, I found the patio door market to be regional and subject to local regulations. Good luck with your search. Luckily, this site has a wealth of information.
ProVia is available here in Houston through Norandex, but I've never sold them.You might give the local Norandex office a call and ask for a referral.
We have gone to having a local company build a hybrid Thermatru fiberglass door with a frame saver jamb. They will install either Emtek or Hoppe multipoint locking hardware on them for us.
Hi Ultrawindows:
I called Norandex and they said they are a wholesaler and they don't sell to public.
Where can I buy that hybrid Thermatru fiberglass door with the multipoint locking system?
I need a regular size 72 x 80 double in swing french door.
You're not going to be able to purchase the door I'm referring to either, without a contractor. That's why I recommended calling Norandex and asking for a referral. They can give you the names of a few contractors who sell their doors and the contractor can give you an estimate.

... Horrible at cheesy pick up lines... Sorry
Hi All Where to start.... Family is by far the most important part of my life. Whether its having tea parties with my daughter or taking ceramics classes with my mother, my life revolves around my family. A quick timeline of my life: - Born in Colombia -Grew up in Boston -Went to school in Denver -moved to a tinny town in Colorado to be an Archaeologist - Moved southern Spain to enjoy daily siestas, olives and play rugby - Moved back to Boston... and now on match.... On another note i am an owner o a consulting firm based out of Cambridge. Thankfully the hard work has paid off and through work I have had experiences I thought were impossible. Whether breaking bread with Chara, having a beer with Matty in the morning, chilling the OG Dj Stretch Armstrong and Dj Clark Kent, or running across the Rockies with Dean Karnazes, I have been blessed with amazing opportunities. I have a nerdy side as well but you have to bring it out. I have a huge passion for cultural anthropology. I have been lucky enough to be a member of the Anthropology Honors Society. Exploring culture is a huge part of my life and I have had the opportunity to live on three continents and have been on two archeological excavations. A little disclaimer: My daughter lives with me Friday morning through Tuesday morning every week. Her mom and i were never married and now have an amazing friendship that lets us be the best parents possible for our daughter.... don't worry there isn't any heavy baggage that comes with me having a daughter.

Seventeen delightfully twisted pieces of murder and mayhem are presented in this collection that includes two new short stories which revisit Peter Decker and Rina Lazarus. "Mummy and Jack" is the darkly humorous result of a collaboration between Kellerman and her son Jesse that will leave readers hoping for more such endeavors. When a young woman realizes her handsome husband is really a toad in disguise, she finds herself having to adapt in some surprising ways as she turns the tables on more then one unsavory character in "The Stalker."
"Open House" opens with an unsuspecting realtor showing a house to a group of prospective buyers. When one of them opens a stuck closet and discovers a dead woman inside, Peter Decker begins an investigation that will turn up a shaken lawyer and a vindictive spouse. The parents and daughter in "Bonding" are some seriously sick puppies and that proves to be as entertaining as it is disturbing. "The Back Page" is for anyone who has ever seen the TV footage of Lucile Ball claiming to pick up radio transmissions from her fillings because some urban legends are simply too good to pass up. Speaking of urban legends, everyone knows the secrecy surrounding the Coca-Cola formula. Kellerman builds upon that premise in "Holy Water" which follows the kidnapping adventures of a Rabbi who may have the key to saving a corporation.
Crime fiction buffs and Kellerman fans alike will want to add this anthology to their collection, for those unfamiliar with her work this is a great place to get acquainted. Many of the stories have a vein of twisted humor about them, all are well drawn with strong characters and satisfying conclusions.

Parents, Don't Wait to Talk to Your Kids About Money Why Early Money Lessons Matter in the Financial Future Business Wire OMAHA, Neb. -- April 18, 2013 Talking to children about money isn't always easy for parents, but Financial Literacy month is a great opportunity to initiate those conversations. And, parents, you'll be doing your kids a big favor. Children whose parents spoke extensively to them about saving money are significantly more likely to think saving is important (80% vs. 69%) and more likely to be good budgeters (82% vs. 71%) than other children, according to a survey from TD Ameritrade Holding Corporation (NYSE:AMTD). And while parents may think their children will learn financial education in school, nearly half (46%) of children report that their parents are still the number one source for learning about financial responsibilities and money management (only 17% said school). "Parents can take advantage of the influence they have on their children to teach them some basic financial skills and ultimately help them establish good saving habits," says Carrie Braxdale, managing director, investor services TD Ameritrade, Inc. ("TD Ameritrade"), a broker dealer subsidiary of TD Ameritrade Holding Corporation. "Research shows that parents who work with their children early to develop a financial plan and clearly set financial expectations can help better prepare them for financial success later in life." TD Ameritrade offers these suggestions to help parents get the conversation started: Establish good savings habits early on *Encourage your kids to start saving early and regularly and teach them how to establish a good budget. Explain how to identify expenses and income as well as the difference between "needs" and "wants." This will show what they can realistically afford and help them avoid getting into debt. Teach money lessons by doing, not telling *If your child asks for spending money, rather than just saying yes or no, establish a lending arrangement so they can live through the process – the experience will teach them better than just telling them what they should be doing. *Rather than just telling them, ask children to study up and report back on what they learned. Tell them to teach you about what an IRA or a 529 savings plan is for example. Put a carrot to it and reward them for a job well done. Discuss trade-offs *Take opportunities to illustrate what it means to make sacrifices for things they want. For example, if they want to buy a tablet, outline the cost, how much they have saved and how much they need, i.e. it costs $500, they have $200 saved and they still need to save $300 more to get it. What will they need to give up in order to earn the additional $300 to purchase the tablet? Share from your experience *Did you rack up too much credit card debt as a college student? Are you still paying off your student loans? Did you start saving for retirement too late? These are all valuable teaching opportunities for your kids. Think about the mistakes you made, the lessons you learned, and how you can use those experiences to teach them a better way. "One of the things we see with financial planning is that the 'how' is really important," Braxdale continued. "The more we can teach our children the methodology and cost-benefits analysis when they are young, the more these lessons become muscle memory that they can use when they become adults and need to make important money decisions."

The 2,001 survey respondents sample was drawn from major regions in proportion to the U.S. Census – New England (5%); Mid-Atlantic (16%), South (25%), Midwest (22%), Southwest (12%) and West (20%). In each region, approximately half of the respondents were male and half were female. The two primary groups included were: Gen Z = 1,001 (born 1990 to 1999) and Parents of Gen Z = 1,000 (has a child in their household aged 13 to 22). The statistical margin of error in this survey is ±3.1%. This means that in 19 cases out of 20, overall survey results for primary groups in the study (i.e., Parents of Gen Z vs. Gen Z) will differ by no more than 3.1% in either direction from what would have been obtained by measuring the opinions of all target group members born in the U.S. Head Research conducted this survey on behalf of TD Ameritrade Holding Corporation.

Like all good marketing campaigns, the cloud is more of a concept than a reality
Chris Bronk is a research fellow at Rice University's Baker Institute for Public Policy and an adjunct instructor of computer science at Rice.
Information technology's biggest buzz item — excluding the iPad — remains cloud computing. For a couple years now, we have heard industry and government talk about the cloud and how it's going to change everything. That's mostly — but by no means entirely — hype.
We've been drawing clouds between network nodes to symbolize the Internet's wherever-the-data-needs-to-go routing pattern for almost 20 years now and have scads of slide decks to prove it. So here are three things worth remembering when someone says, "Hey, gang, let's take it to the cloud."
1. There would be no cloud without virtual machines.
Each server provides some sort of service. That's why we call them servers. Some are busy, some are not so busy, and some are busy only some of the time. When a server gets too busy and fails, that is wasteful. When a server runs at 10 percent of its potential capacity because it has little to do, that, too, is wasteful. The answer to that efficiency problem has been virtualization, in which each server is divided into multiple virtual machines. As demand for a service rises, the data center manager can dial up additional processing capability — what computer scientists call cycles — and then ramp it back down when demand falls. That approach is useful, for instance, on the days that everyone in the organization logs on to the human resources service to review their pay stubs. Cloud providers use that concept but on a much larger scale.
2. The cloud is about the Internet, and the Internet is about Web browsers.
3. The cloud needs pipes.
And now the downside: the tubes. Old-school enterprise computing was all about mainframes and terminals. Post-PC, post-Internet computing challenged the client/server model. Programs ran on our machines, but we might also use an application installed on another machine connected via the network to a server with a database, or we might store a document on another server. The genius of cloud applications is that you don't need to load applications on PCs. Travel to Japan, visit a cyber café, load your Google Docs on some random PC, and go! However, the reality of cloud computing is that if you aren't connected, the cloud is closed. There are some slick ways to synchronize content off-line, but that means you have to truck around a device with all that off-line content, so you can't ditch the PC just yet.
Those things, among others, make the cloud go. Like all good marketing campaigns, the cloud is more of a concept than a reality. It just took a while for the marketing guys to work with that cloud thing that's been on our slide decks for years.

3D printed humanoid – tightening the wire connecting knee and servo (Video)Here's a robot video that I found interesting:
We tightened the fishing wire a bit too much. The servo is rated for 12kg pull at 1cm distance from axis. so by creating a permanent pull of over 10kg, it means that any additional external torque will be added to the 10 permanent. which means it creates needless excessive side force on the shaft.. it also caused the pulleys to touch but this is because the 3D printed pulley internal hole radius was too big compared to the metal axis in the knee. conclusion- the clamping and tightening of the wire should be as small as possible while ensuring there is not flex in the cord.

I was originally put off staying at this hotel because of the medical facilities I didn't want it to be like a hospital! Nothing could be further from the truth. The hotel is marvellous for everyone who chooses to stay here. It does have great facilities for people with disabilities, I really loved the ajustable beds even though I am fit and healthy! Staff friendly and helpful rooms spotlessly clean and linen changed after 3 days. Also enjoyed the tea & coffee making facility in the room. We had breakfast which was really nice and included hot food and because it finished late the dining room was never that busy. We did not sample the dinner, but there is a lovely Indoniesian takeaway 2 minutes along from the hotel which served us fab food and 5 minutes along the road to the right of the hotel are two large supermarkets and also a hot food van which sells burgers, chips ect so you won't go hungry!! And of course Alkmaar town centre itself, is only a 10 to 15 minute walk away with all the cafes situated there. All in all a marvellous stay, only point I would make a shelf of some sort to store toiletries in the bathroom would be appriciated!

Perhaps the term introvert doesn't necessarily apply to you: You fare well when talking to others one on one and aren't completely backward when it comes to social matters. But, for many, one thing stops them dead in their tracks: public speaking.
Palms get sweaty, stomachs start to hurt, and bright red begins to creep up necks. Many have been there, and while some may have outgrown the outright fear, plenty still clam up in front of any sort of group.
Enter the Toastmasters, a local group that formed in 2004 and has since helped members allay public-speaking fears and turn what was once a fear into an art.
When she went back to school at Misericordia, Jennifer Domzalski of Nanticoke was called upon to do a lot of presentations, forcing her to start coming out of her shell.
I was always shy when it came to speaking in public, the Toastmasters member said. I started to get a little better with the school presentations, and I just decided that I didn't want to lose that and instead build upon it, so I joined the club.
Five years later and Domzalski has not only attended many a Toastmaster conference at which she's spoken in front of hundreds, but she's also done extracurricular things, such as reading to children in the community, and has found she just feels more confident on the whole.
Fear is the biggest thing anyone walking into a Toastmasters meeting has to overcome.
It'll take someone between five to six speeches until that really starts to go away, Bruce Spencer of Forty Fort, a club member since 2005, said.
It's all about being comfortable in one's skin and learning the basics of public speaking to achieve that.
Members receive a manual that includes 10 speeches. While members get to choose whatever topic they would like for each speech, they must incorporate whatever skill is set forth for that particular speech, which could mean body language, how to close or open a speech, or vocal variety.
Several roles must be filled during a Toastmasters meeting, from speakers and their evaluators to the Ah-Master (who catches those pesky um and ah pauses) and Grammarian. Each member is ensured some sort of speaking role during a meeting, whether for a five- to seven-minute speech or 30 seconds of explaining what the day's topic is, Spencer said.
Though it might sound very structured (which it is), don't take that to mean all work and no play.
There is definitely work involved, but many people think this is like a classroom setting, and it's not, Domzalski said. You don't get a book and sit down and read from it. It's fun.
What all members come out with from the experience is a different perspective on public speaking.
It's not even that you don't see the people in the audience; it's that they're not looking through you anymore, Spencer said. You realize they're looking for what you're going to say so you're not up there worried as much about what you look like but rather what you're speaking about.

Attorney Kim Taylor appointed UChicago's vice president, general counsel
Printer-friendly versionPDF version
Kimberly P. Taylor, a partner of Hilton & Bishop P.C. in Falmouth, Mass., will become the University of Chicago's vice president and general counsel effective Aug. 1, President Robert J. Zimmer announced May 15.
Taylor succeeds Beth A. Harris, who is developing and leading a new practice area in the Office of Legal Counsel to better support and coordinate the legal aspects of the University's increasingly complex and growing number of existing and new institutional affiliations and partnerships.
Taylor has specialized in mergers and acquisitions, equity investments, financings and partnership matters. Her accomplishments at Hilton & Bishop have included representing the Marine Biological Laboratory at Woods Hole during the negotiations that led to its affiliation last year with the University of Chicago.
"Kim is a widely recognized and accomplished attorney, who will bring these capabilities to bear for the University in an increasingly complex environment," Zimmer said. "Her demonstrated capacity for judgment, leadership, collaboration and analysis will make her an excellent member of the University's administrative leadership team."
Taylor said that she was thrilled to join the University. "I have been impressed with each and every member of President Zimmer's team. I look forward to working with the outstanding faculty and becoming a part of the Hyde Park community," she said.
In January 2011, Taylor made the cover of The American Lawyer magazine, which featured her in a special report, "45 Under 45," as one of the best of the best young women lawyers in the top 200 U.S. law firms. In 2009, The Deal Magazine named Taylor as one of eight "smart, young and talented" private equity specialists.
Taylor became a partner of Hilton & Bishop in 2012, after moving to Cape Cod with her family. Previously she had been an equity partner of Kirkland & Ellis, based in the firm's New York office. In 18 years at Kirkland, she served as lead counsel to large buyout funds and private and public companies in a wide variety of transactions. These included leveraged buyouts, mergers, stock and asset acquisitions, recapitalizations and private equity investments.
While at Kirkland, Taylor was the hiring partner for the New York office, a member of the Associate Review Committee, a member of the management committee of the New York Office and a co-founder of Kirkland's Women's Leadership Initiative.
Taylor received her bachelor's degree in history from the University of California at Berkeley, and her JD, with honors, from the University of California Hastings College of Law.

Mac OS X Lion Has a Browser-Only Mode 231
from the meme-gets-around-quick dept.
We've improved Slashdot's video section; now you can view our video interviews, product close-ups and site visits with all the usual Slashdot options to comment, share, etc. No more walled garden! It's a work in progress -- we hope you'll check it out (Learn more about the recent updates).
My homebuilt Windows 7 machine has been a far smoother experience than my store-built iMac. The latter was pretty smooth on Tiger, to be sure, but Leopard onward was glitchy. I'm really not sure that Apple do too much testing on their previous generation hardware.
And I'd rather have 14 years of reasonable support - thank you, XP - than 2-3 years of slightly better.
Sounds like she needs an iPad and an external keyboard.
Been there, aunt is happy.
When I originally read about this, it was mentioned that this feature was in fact a honeypot to encourage a thief to plug the machine into the internet. After all, for many people all they want to do is get online anyway. Thief plugs it in, the Find My Mac stuff is able to connect and send information back to the owner who can contact the authorities. Farther evidence of this was that it's a guest account, you're not able to enable it for your own user account (I haven't personally used it, so I can't confirm).
It was also mentioned that this browser would throw out realistic looking errors for some sites, even if the site was actually fine.
To err is human -- to blame it on a computer is even more so.

A new study from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention found that nearly one in four first-born babies, or 22 percent, are born to unmarried couples living together. The numbers jumped dramatically from 12 percent in 2002.
"More people are cohabitating and more people cohabitating are likely to have children," Gladys Martinez, lead author of the study, told ABCNews.com. "We were surprised by the numbers because it was quite a jump from such a short time, just 10 years ago."
The findings were based on data from more than 23,000 face-to-face interviews with American men and women ages 15 to 44. Men and women with lower education levels were more likely to have more children than people who attended college. Hispanic women were more likely to give birth at an earlier age and have more children than other races, as well.
Experts say a cultural acceptance of having children out-of-wedlock, along with the economic downturn, contribute to the dramatic jump in children born to unmarried couples who live together.

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Marchers defer to St. Nick
Winnipeg's Santa Claus parade put the city out of step with a series of global marches set to show solidarity for Syria's war victims.
Peace marches around the globe were organized to draw attention to the children and civilians caught in the brutal civil war.
But organizers for Walk 4 the Children of Syria decided to give way to Santa Claus, Walk 4 the Children, Dima Alsayed said.
"Because of the Winnipeg Santa Claus parade we decided to do it (today)," Alsayed said.
Some 60,000 Winnipeggers crowded downtown to see the Spirit of Christmas resplendent in red velveteen.
The event, with floats and and block parties the length of the parade route on Portage Avenue, kicked off the holiday season.
Peace marches can't compete with Santa's fame, organizers said.
Today, about 60 people are expected to turn out at the legislature at 2 p.m. for the Syrian march, a day later than anywhere else but with just as much fervour, Alsayed said.
Around the world Saturday, thousands marched through the world's capitals in simultaneous events organized by a Washington D.C. based non-profit group called the Syrian American Alliance.
The walk went global after the success of a similar walk in American cities in September. Events were organized for most American and Canadian cities as well as in Australia, Brazil, Europe and the Middle East.
Alsayed said she was born in Syria and moved to Canada 10 years ago as a teenager.
Her daughter, 7, helped make some of the placards to be used today.
"She's Canadian but we have so many relatives living there who have lost their homes and children who have lost their parents. So I asked her to imagine what she would say: She wrote a couple of them. They say things like 'I lost my home. I lost my father,' " Alsayed said.
Winnipeg's Syrian community has grown from three families to about 50 people since the brutal war erupted.
The route will move north on Memorial Boulevard, east on York Avenue, south on Garry Street and west on Broadway back to the Legislature.

Climate change is the current crisis the world is experiencing today. It is an international issue that concerns all fields of research and expertise including politics and economics.
A number of conferences and negotiations have been organized globally concerning this anthropogenic phenomenon and one of its active supporters is the Philippines. As a contribution to its awareness campaign, the Institute of International and Legal Studies of the University of the Philippines (U.P.) College of Law conducted a whole-day "experts dialogue" entitled Philippine Climate Change Policy: Mitigation and Adaptation Measures last July 31, 2008.
Invited speakers were: Atty. Rommel J. Casis, Professorial Lecturer at the U.P. College of Law, and Program Director of the International Environmental Law Research Program; Atty. Antonio G.M. La Viña, Dean of the Ateneo School of Government, and Professorial Lecturer at the U.P. College of Law; Mr. Mark Richard Evidente, Master's Candidate at the School of Forestry and Environmental Studies, Yale University; Ms. Ma. Gerarda Asuncion Merilo, Senior Environmental Management Specialist at the Environmental Management Bureau, Inter-Agency Committee on Climate Change; and Atty. Marvic M.V.F. Leonen, Dean of the U.P. College of Law.
Understanding Climate Change
Atty. Casis cited the definition of climate change by the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC): "a change of climate which is attributed directly or indirectly to human activity that alters the composition of the global atmosphere and which is in addition to the natural climate variability observed over comparable time periods." A major evidence of climate change today is global warming. Global warming is the accumulation of greenhouse gases (GHG)—carbon dioxide, methane and nitrous oxides in the atmosphere; these trap the sun's heat energy thus resulting in increases in the average global temperature. It is caused by GHG-emitting human activities such as excessive burning of fossil fuels, deforestation, and growing waste dumps. Other effects of climate change are increase in sea levels, increase in temperature and acidity of oceans, melting of ice caps, spread of climate-related diseases such as malaria, higher incidence of hurricane and forest fires, and destruction of crops. In the Philippines, according to Atty. Casis, the most affected sectors of climate change are agriculture, food security, and health.
Global Actions Enforced
Mitigation and adaptation are the main objectives of UNFCCC and the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). By limiting the GHG emissions, enhancing sinks or processes that remove greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, and learning to adapt to changes in the environment, we can survive the negative effects of climate change.
The UNFCCC was established on March 21, 1994 to set an overall framework that will address issues on climate change. The convention aims to gather information on GHG emissions and national policies. It also intends to initiate strategies that will encourage GHG emission reduction and to contribute to the preparation for adaptation to the adverse effects of climate change. The UNFCCC classified countries into three categories: Annex I includes developing countries that are members of OECD (Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development) and countries with economies in transition (EIT); Annex II includes member countries of OECD in Annex I only; and Non-Annex I mostly includes developing countries. Developed countries are considered the major contributors to the currently high level of GHG in the atmosphere due to excessive industrial activities. Thus, a number of nations approved the addition of a legally binding measure called the Kyoto Protocol.
The Kyoto protocol, which was put in force on February 16, 2005, is an international agreement that sets a target reduction of GHG emissions for 37 industrialized countries and European communities starting from 2008 to 2012. Specifically, it requires an average reduction of five percent from the GHG emission recorded in 1990. To aid the countries in achieving their targets, the Kyoto Protocol allows "emissions trading" or the selling of excess allowable emission of carbon dioxide of a country to another country that is still behind its target reduction of GHG emission. The protocol also offers the Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) which allows Annex I countries to meet their targets by implementing emission-reduction projects in Non-Annex I countries. These projects can earn saleable credit emission reduction (CER) credits where each credit is equivalent to 1 ton of CO2 that can be accounted in attaining the Kyoto target. Through CDM, Annex I countries are able to not only meet their emission reduction target but also assist Non-Annex I countries in attaining sustainable development through partial profit from CER. Another mechanism implemented by the Kyoto Protocol is Joint Implementation where an Annex I country can earn emission reduction units (ERU), each unit equivalent to 1 ton of CO2, from emission reduction projects of another member country of Annex I. However, according to Atty. La Viña, the Kyoto Protocol is not a complete success because some of the member countries have failed to meet the agreed targets.
A number of negotiations addressing climate change are on-going. The most recent plan presented was the Bali Road Map, which consists of decisions and future measures against climate change. The Bali Road Map includes the creation of the Ad Hoc Working Group on Long-term Cooperative Action, the long-term goal of emission reduction, mitigation actions, and adaptation funding and cooperations.
The Philippines' Response to the Problem of Climate Change
As a manifestation of the country's commitment to engage in multilateral efforts aiming to address the global problem of climate change and achieve sustainable development, the Philippines has participated in the discussions and negotiations leading to the ratification of various international agreements. These international agreements are geared towards the mitigation of the effects of climate change and the strategic adaptation to the conditions. The most important outcomes of these negotiations include the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) ratified on August 2, 1994 and the Kyoto Protocol, which was ratified on November 20, 2003. At the national level, the Medium Term Philippine Development Plan of 2004-2010 (MTDP) underscored the need to manage the environment more effectively in order for the country to address the problem of poverty particularly in the rural areas.
As one of the first countries to sign the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change in 1992, the Philippines expressed adherence to the principles of sustainable development and environmental preservation based on the notion of equity and the unique capabilities of the participating countries. More specifically, Article 3 of the UNFCC states that countries who have aligned themselves with the mandates set forth by the Convention "should protect the climate system for the benefit of present and future generations of humankind, on the basis of equity and in accordance with their common but differentiated responsibilities and respective capabilities."
In 2000, the Philippines forwarded to the UNFCCC its Initial National Communication, the milestones of the country insofar as accomplishing the objectives of the Convention are concerned. More specifically, this report presented the gains made in the fields of greenhouse gas abatement and inventory. Also noted were gains significantly achieved in strengthening institutions and processes in relation to the mitigation, prevention and adaptation initiatives in the country. A lot of work still needs to be done though. Recommendations of the report include the institutionalization of the process of greenhouse inventory, particularly among the government agencies concerned and greater involvement of the academe through related studies. More studies on adaptation and vulnerability under climate change conditions are also suggested.
Under the Kyoto Protocol, developing countries such as the Philippines are called to pass and implement national measures that shall advance the international community's agenda pertaining to environmental preservation through the reduction of greenhouse emissions (GHGs) in the atmosphere. Pursuant to the provisions in this treaty, the Philippines passed national legislations to uphold the agreements embedded in the Kyoto Protocol. The Clean Air Act of 1999, otherwise known as Republic Act 8749, was enacted in order to arrive at an effective air quality management program that will mitigate the worsening problem of air pollution in the country. Reinforcing the country's drive towards a healthier environment was the enactment of the Solid Waste Management Act of 2000 (RA 9003) that aimed at providing a comprehensive solution to the country's garbage problem.
At the institutional level, the Philippines was one of the earliest countries to recognize the importance of a systematic institutional response to the problem of climate change. Prior to the signing and ratification of the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change, the creation of the Inter-Agency Committee on Climate Change (IACC) in May 8, 1991 under the Environmental Management Bureau of the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) was a concrete manifestation of the Philippines' attempt to promptly address the issue of climate change. Composed of representatives from government agencies as well as NGO representatives, IACC was created by virtue of Presidential Order No. 220 with the secretary of the DENR sitting as chair and the secretary of the DOST as co-chair. The ultimate aim of the committee is to harness and synergize the various activities being undertaken by the national government and civil society in response to the crisis posed by growing problem on climate change.
The essential mandate of the IACC is to perform various coordinative, development and monitoring functions with respect to activities related to climate change in the county. As an organization that is at the forefront in advancing the government's climate change agenda, the IACC likewise formulates policy actions and recommendations while at the same time assumes a very significant role in terms of shaping the Philippines' national positions in the various international negotiations that aim to mitigate the effects of global climate change and prevent the worse possible consequences of this. The IACC therefore ensures the Philippines' faithful compliance to the mandates and principles contained in the UNFCCC and the Kyoto Protocol and sees to it that adequate public awareness campaign and initiatives are held to bring the issue to all the sectors of the country.

In cooperation with project partners, the research institute from Hannover, Germany, has developed a sensor system which continuously monitors the condition of the marine gearbox, thus preventing breakdowns. Special feature: the monitoring system works wirelessly and energy-autonomously. The required electrical power is generated where it is needed – directly at the sensor.
As well as cars need to be certified regularly (in Germany by the TÜV – Technical Inspection Association), ships need to be inspected – if the powertrain stops...
When an earthquake hits, the faster first responders can get to an impacted area, the more likely infrastructure--and lives--can be saved.
The Atlantic overturning is one of Earth's most important heat transport systems, pumping warm water northwards and cold water southwards. Also known as the Gulf Stream system, it is responsible for the mild climate in northwestern Europe.
Scientists now found evidence for a slowdown of the overturning – multiple lines of observation suggest that in recent decades, the current system has been...
Because they are regularly subjected to heavy vehicle traffic, emissions, moisture and salt, above- and underground parking garages, as well as bridges, frequently experience large areas of corrosion. Most inspection systems to date have only been capable of inspecting smaller surface areas.
From April 13 to April 17 at the Hannover Messe (hall 2, exhibit booth C16), engineers from the Fraunhofer Institute for Nondestructive Testing IZFP will be...
