Who decides and how
Project applications are evaluated by the EYF according to content and quality, as well as adherence to criteria and priorities.
Tip: COMMUNICATE via our new system! …and take into account the suggestions made at the planning stage of your projects.
A recommendation for each application is provided to the Programming Committee on Youth.
Info: The Programming Committee on Youth (PC) consists of 8 government representatives and 8 non-governmental youth organisations; it establishes and monitors the programme of the European Youth Foundation and the European Youth Centres (Strasbourg and Budapest). The PC meets in June and December. For more information on the decision-making process and structures more...
The Programming Committee on Youth reviews the EYF's recommendations and decides which project applications will be supported and the amount of the grant, if any.
Applicants are contacted by the EYF as soon as possible after the meetings and informed of the decision. The list of supported projects for the year is available online. Exceptions: Decision for pilot activities are taken every 2 – 3 months.
If a project is accepted 80% of the grant awarded will be transferred approximately 10 weeks before the start of the project. The decision to support a project will be withdrawn if it becomes apparent that it was based on false information or if the organisation does not acknowledge receipt and acceptance of the decision and its conditions.
The remaining 20% is paid upon assessment of the satisfactory activity and financial report. The EYF may give further feedback at this stage.
The beneficiary reports back on the activity within 2 months of the end of the project. The beneficiary must justify the use of the grant given by providing:
- a clear and complete activity and financial report;
- a final budget showing the total REAL costs of the activity;
- all proofs of expenditure related to the costs.
This will help us assess whether the contribution made has been spent in an appropriate manner.
The EYF reserves the right to suspend, cancel or withdraw from the activity or activities and their financing if substantial errors, irregularities or fraud of any kind have been discovered at any stage of the execution or if the beneficiary has failed to take all appropriate measures to remedy the situation. The beneficiary will have to reimburse in full or in part, the grant. Sanctions will apply in the case of fraud.

POTSDAM Pier Marzocca has his eyes on the sky.
Mr. Marzocca, a Clarkson University associate professor of mechanical and aeronautical engineering, was given the Forest R. McFarland Award by the Society of Automotive Engineers for gathering and profligating information on unmanned aircraft, or drones.
This year, we have organized about 13 sessions about the systems. There will be a number of presentations where we have leading figures from industry, government and academia getting together to discuss current and future problems related to unmanned aerial systems, he said. We talk about the problems in security, safety, specification, FAA regulations and approval for the use in national airspace. These are things we need to discuss now as usage increases.
Though drones are most known for their military applications, they have a number of peaceful uses, Mr. Marzocca said.
We are looking forward to seeing growing usage, not only as it has been done historically in military, but there are so many other applications in industry, like law enforcement, monitoring cornfields and pipelines, he said. There are a number of businesses interested in seeing this technology open up.
Clarkson University is using an unmanned aircraft for some of its research.
We have partnered with the U.S. Department of Energy, he said. We have used an unmanned vehicle for monitoring and measuring wind profiles in the vicinity of wind farms. There is a lack of knowledge about how the wind goes by the wind farm. Possibly we can take the knowledge we gain to design a better wind farm and we can use the turbines in a way that produces more power.
Mr. Marzocca is chairman of the societys Unmanned Aerial Systems Technical Committee.
There isnt much information about them, he said. It isnt well distributed, and because of their military applications, they are perceived as dangerous.
The McFarland award recognizes individuals for contributions to developing, collecting and distributing technical information of value to society.

ADAMS Nearly two weeks into the closure of a section of Route 11, businesses owners say the construction project has damaged their bottom lines.
Its been affected dramatically, said Robin S. McDermott, owner of McDermotts Midtown Deli. Its affected everybody on this road.
The culvert replacement project at Hart Brook, between Michael Road and Spook Hill Road, cuts the primary link between the village of Adams and the hamlet of Adams Center.
Traffic is being detoured along routes 177 and 178 and Interstate 81, and away from businesses closer to the work zone.
State Department of Transportation spokesman Michael R. Flick said that crews placed the first of several large precast culvert pieces on Friday, and that if the pieces werent fully installed by the end of the day, work would wrap up Monday. However, more work at the culvert is necessary before the road could be re-opened.
He added that the timetable of early September for completing the project was the contractual deadline, and that the work could end sooner. The full closure was done so the work could be completed in time for the start of school.
Were moving as quickly as possible to get this done as soon as possible, Mr. Flick said.
Michael W. Behling, owner of the Behlings Spookhill Farms store at 12139 Route 11, said Friday afternoon that he was told the work could be done around Aug. 21 or 22, a potential reprieve for businesses.
Since the start of the closure on July 29, Ms. McDermott said the revenues for her business, at 10412 Route 11, have been slashed in half. She said many customers with 30-minute lunch breaks cant navigate through the restricted road areas in time to get to her restaurant and get back to work.
Other businesses also facing the impact of the closure are Fuccillos Auto Mall, Tops Friendly Supermarkets, Subway, Ace Hardware and Stewarts Shoppe.
Ms. McDermott said the road closure has also created confusion for her suppliers and added costly time to her delivery runs.
No matter which way Im going, its out of my way now, she said.
Mr. Behling said the closure led to the loss of about half of his normal business. However, with additional advertising and outreach, he was able to get his sales to about three-fourths of regular levels.
Its nice to be able to do something a little better, he said. Yeah, it does hurt some, but were going to get through.
Overall, he said the closure has already cost him a few thousand dollars. To help deal with the decline, he said he has reduced hours and laid off three to four part-time employees. Mr. Behling said he hoped to bring them back if business improved following the reopening of the road.
In the meantime, he said hes had to work hard to keep his loyal customers happy.
People tell me its a pain in the rear to come in, Mr. Behling said. I say thank you for coming in anyway.

EVANSDALE, IOWA - At a press conference Thursday afternoon, authorities in Evansdale County said they still can't officially identify the two bodies found on Wednesday, but say that evidence indicates it is cousins Eliabeth Collins and Lyric Cook. Authorities say they are waiting for the official forensic autopsy reports to be completed.
However, in an emotional message on her Facebook page Wednesday night, Heather Collins, the mother of Elizabeth Collins, confirmed the bodies found Wednesday afternoon were those of her daughter and niece.
Here is Collins' message, posted late Wednesday night:
"We have been so blessed by the (outpouring) of all the prayers and support tonight with the gut wrenching news that my beautiful daughter and niece's bodies were found by hunters today. This was (not) the outcome we wanted but we know that they are up in Heaven with our Savior and our nightmare of where they are and what is happening to them has been answered. Lord, we know that you have them in your loving arms and we are so blessed (for) that."
Authorities held a late Wednesday afternoon press conference to announce that hunters had found the bodies in a wooded area of Bremer County around 12:45pm.
Few details were released, but Black Hawk County Sheriff's Department Chief Deputy Rick Abben told reporters the bodies had been sent to the State Medical Examiner's Office in Ankeny for autopsies and official confirmation of the identities.
"The Cook and Collins families have been notified of the discovery," Abben said. "It's definitely not the outcome we wanted, obviously."
Captain Abben would not say where the bodies were discovered, but several sources told KWWL they were found in a wooded area of the 7 Bridges Park in rural Bremer County. The park is located about 22 miles north of Evansdale.
Elizabeth Collins, then 8, and Lyric Cook, then 10, cousins from Evansdale, vanished July 13 while on a bike ride on the recreational trail in Evansdale. Their bicycles were found abandoned near Meyers Lake.
With the criminal investigation ongoing, investigators continue to ask anyone with information, or anyone who thinks they might have seen the girls on July 13 between noon and 6 p.m. in Evansdale, to call the tipline -- 319-232-6682 or 1-800- 346-5507. Tips can also be emailed to firstname.lastname@example.com.

Face Cleanser Daily Treatment with FAB Antioxidant Booster
This is a fairly gentle, pearlescent foaming facial cleanser that's best for normal to combination skin that's slightly dry.
Ultra Repair Instant Oatmeal Mask
Finally, a worthwhile moisturizing mask for normal to dry skin!

First Aid Beauty At-A-Glance
Strengths: Several fragrance-free products; relatively reasonable pricing; sunscreen provides broad-spectrum protection; wonderful fragrance-free body wash.
Weaknesses: AHA pads contain a low amount of glycolic and lactic acids; some products contain fragrant plant extracts; every product contains feverfew extract, which has benefits, but also can be an irritant; jar packaging; for a line meant for sensitive skin, their use of common irritants is disappointing.
With a name like First Aid Beauty (FAB for short), it's obvious this line is meant to rescue your skin from distress, and, indeed, these products are targeted toward those who have sensitive, easily irritated skin, but who still want an elegant, department-store flair. Ironically, FAB falls short on both ends of the spectrum.
Despite the company's claims of providing "therapeutic action" for "tough skin conditions," some of the products contain irritating ingredients that are extremely problematic for any skin type, especially for those with sensitive or compromised skin. It was disappointing to see known irritants like sulfur, balsam resin, and witch hazel in products claiming to calm your skin and reduce redness. "What were they thinking?" was a question that came up more than once while reviewing this line!
On the bright side, First Aid Beauty does have a very good fragrance-free body wash. There are also a few products that omit the fragrance, which is a definite must for sensitive skin, although, in fact, all skin types do best with fragrance-free products. Unfortunately, the fragrance-free formulas in this line come up short on important ingredients, like antioxidants and skin-repairing ingredients.
It is best to avoid their Ultra Repair Cream, the SPF 30 sunscreen, Detox Eye Roller, Blemish Eraser, and the Anti-Redness Serum because they all contain enough irritating ingredients to make conditions like acne, redness, and sensitivity worse.

Castelli Trasparente Due Wind Jersey £145.00
Very good autumn/spring-weight jersey with stretchy windproofing and a fitted cut
Weight 316g Contact www.saddleback.co.uk
Previous Review
Next Review
The Castelli Trasparente Due Wind Jersey is a winner for autumn and spring riding – it has performed superbly over the past few weeks.
The Trasparente is actually one of those tops that splits the difference between a jersey and a jacket. I'll get that in early so you don't write it off as a too expensive jersey. That would be a mistake.
It's made from three different fabrics, the most notable of which is Windstopper X-Lite Plus. This is the same windproof (obviously) and highly water resistant soft shell material that Castelli use for their Gabba Rain Jersey and Aero Rain Lite jersey.
This four-way stretch fabric makes up the whole of the front, the neck, the shoulders and down the top of the arms to the elbows. It also makes an appearance on the central pocket at the back – you know, where you get that line of road spray from your rear wheel if you don't use mudguards. The other two fabrics aren't windproof: one is a roubaix-type material and the other is a little thinner.
What's so good about the Trasparente? For a start, the Windstopper fabric does its job by stopping cold air while also being impressively breathable so you don't get sweaty in there. It's a bit like wearing a jersey with a windproof gilet over the top, but in a single garment. I'd rather the windproofing extended the whole length of the arms rather than stopping at the elbow, but that's a personal preference.
Another thing I really like about the Trasparente is that it's a good, slim cut – and I likes a good, slim cut, me. The stretchy materials mean that it can fit closely without feeling tight, and no cold air comes wafting in as soon as you hit 25mph. The neck is high and close fitting too so you can keep the outside world from getting in there.
The camlock front zip is from YKK and the large puller is easy to grab with gloved hands. Around the back an elastic waist gripper holds the hem in place and you get three pockets, the middle of which will take a waterproof shell easily enough. There's another zipped pocket on the chest that'll hold a mobile phone or a fiver for a mid-ride stop.
Reflective piping on the shoulders and tabs on the back will help you get seen, and the Transparente is available in colours other than black too.
Castelli give the Trasparente a temperature range of 10-18°C. I'm a cold-blooded reptile and even I wouldn't wear it at 18. I'd say 10-16°C, or something like that. That's with just a base layer underneath. You could obviously wear another layer under there and get some more use out of it in lower temperatures.
Very good autumn/spring-weight jersey with stretchy windproofing and a fitted cut
road.cc test report
Make and model: Castelli Trasparente Due Wind Jersey
Size tested: Large, black
Tell us what the product is for, and who it's aimed at. What do the manufacturers say about it? How does that compare to your own feelings about it?
Castelli say, "The Trasparente has become our favorite autumn and spring piece, and we find ourselves wearing it on winter days with the temperature below the stated comfort range. It's lightweight and fits like a jersey, yet keeps the wind off the front, with its Windstopper. X-Lite Plus fabric giving it a an extremely wide temperature range. The second-generation Trasparente now features splash protection on the back, improved fit, and better wind protection on the arms.
Windstopper® X-Lite PLUS stretch fabric on front is windproof and splash resistant
Warmer fabric on back for high breathability
Full-length YKK® Camlock zipper
Embossed tone-on-tone logo on shoulders
Elastic gripper on waist to limit ride-up
3 rear pockets
Reflective piping on front and Rear reflective tabs keep you visible in low-light conditions"
Tell us some more about the technical aspects of the product?
The Windstopper X-Lite Plus fabric is a soft shell fabric that's lightweight and breathable. It's also water resistant - certainly splashproof.
It can go through the washing machine and tumble dryer without any trouble.
It's not cheap, but bear in mind that this is a halfway house between a jersey and a jacket, and it has a performance similar to that of a jersey and a gilet. Plus, that Windstopper X-Lite Plus fabric is excellent.
Tell us how the product performed overall when used for its designed purpose
Does a great job in a variety of autumn/spring conditions. You'll get a lot of use out of this.
Tell us what you particularly liked about the product
The stretchy Windstopper fabric and the slim cut.

Dear Castelli, please stop bringing out these wet weather jersey/jacket things. I've got the Gabba short sleeve one and the Aero lite long sleeve one and they work well. I simply can't have any more!

Got the new Gabba convertible long sleeve top the other week and its seeing plenty of use. I have the old Transparente too and it's really good for spring, autumn and most of the summer! My best Castelli tip is to buy from European dealers who don't charge rip-off UK prices and actually stock the full range of sizes and colours.
Make mine an Italian with Campagnolo on the side

On advice I purchased an XL and the fit is perfect. I would normally consider myself a large.
Used it with a baselayer on a 65 mile November sportive in the Yorkshire dales. Temperature was circa 5-8 deg deg and road conditions were wet. Several tough climbs and fast descents. If it had been a longer ride I probably would have stashed a gillet as back up.
Its always a balance between being too hot and then too cold. Thats why you need to be prepared to spend the money on good kit. This is good kit!

I have just bought this jacket . I'm a slim build 179cm 70kg 37inch chest and small was just too small . Medium seems about right ( on the bike) . I got it because my endura windchill wore out . Why oh why didn't I get another windchill? The funny thing is, the endura jacket is actually better designed, better built , has a better zip, extra pockets and it actually fits better all round ( I took a small in endura). The worst thing about the castelli is that unlike the endura it doesn't have a 2 inch 'skirt' or Lycra below the bottom of the back pockets. Therefore as soon as you stuff the rear pockets , the elastic strip below the pockets has no contact with your back! It's seems minor but very annoying when you can see endura have designed this feature for just this reason. Ahhhghhhh common castelli get it together please!

PsyG Concentrations
The MA in Psychology and Education provides students in the General Track with the ability to concentrate their credits in a particular area of study. These concentrations are designed to accommodate the special interests and strengths of students by allowing them to focus on a particular are of sub-specialty. In order to qualify for one of these areas of concentration, you must be enrolled in the General Track (PsyG).
There are SEVEN areas of concentration being offered: a) Research Methods; b) Child & Family; c) Spirituality & Contemplative Practices; d) Training in Underserved Populations; e) Psychotherapy and Psychoanalytic Perspectives; f) Global Mental Health & Trauma; g) Sexuality, Women, & Gender. The total requirement for a concentration is 12 credits.
A) Research Methods: This area of focus prepares students for in-depth understanding of quantitative procedures in psychological research. Courses will focus on the methods of research design and statistical inference/mathematical modeling. This concentration helps students to work as highly competent researchers. The ONE requirement is CCPX 5533 plus THREE additional courses from the list below. Total = 4 courses/12 credits. Dr. Randall Richardson is the head of this concentration.
B) Child & Family: This area of focus prepares students for in-depth understanding of children, families, and developmental processes. This concentration has two fundamental areas of emphasis: i) child development; ii) the family in context. This concentration orients students to the challenges of working with children and their families. The ONE requirement is CCPX 5034 plus THREE additional courses from the list below. Tota l = 4 courses/12 credits. Dr. Susan Bodnar is the interim head of this concentration.
C) Spirituality Mind Body: This area of focus prepares students for in-depth understanding of the role of spirituality and contemplative practices (e.g., meditation) as contributors to mental health and well-being. This concentration fosters competency in exploring the essential spiritual principles and practices of human experience within the context of illness and healing. The ONE requirement is CCPX 5045 plus THREE additional courses from the list below. Total = 4 courses/12 credits. Dr. Lisa Miller is the head of this concentration.
A Master's Degree in General Psychology

D) Community Psychology & Integrative Health Services: Formerly known as "Training in Underserved Populations" this area of focus has been reenvisioned to prepare students to improve services for underserved populations within their specialized contexts. This concentration enables students to seek out work settings that serve the growing numbers of patients facing barriers to mental health treatment due to aging, illness/disabilities, incarceration, addiction, poverty, globalization, etc. The ONE requirement is CCPX 4010 plus THREE additional courses from the list below. Total = 4 courses/12 credits. Dr. Dinelia Rosa is the head of this concentration.
E) Psychotherapy & Psychoanalytic Perspectives: This area of focus prepares students to deepen their understanding of the various psychotherapeutic perspectives and their styles of intervention. Students will sample theories of contemporary and classical therapeutic orientations so they may one-day train to become psychotherapists or psychoanalysts. Upon graduation, students may pursue this training within doctoral programs (e.g., Ph.D. and Psy.D. programs), psychoanalytic institutes (many now have licensure tracks ), or another LMHP Licensure track Masters (Licensed Mental Health Practitioner). This concentration is for those who wish to one-day focus on direct patient contact and the treatment of individuals through psychotherapy and counseling theories and techniques. The ONE requirement is CCPX 4038 plus THREE additional courses from the list below. Total = 4 courses/12 credits. Dr. Barry Farber is the head of this concentration.
F) Global Mental Health & Trauma: This concentration provides coursework in two closely associated fields: global mental health and trauma. Courses offer exposure to the topics below. There are TWO requirements for this concentration: CCPX 5010 AND CCPX 4060. Please choose TWO additional courses from the list below. Total = 4 courses/12 credits. Drs. Helen Verdeli and George Bonanno are the heads of this concentration.
- Longitudinal and prospective studies: of individuals' reactions to adversity and their cross-sectional context; risk and protective factors for various forms of resilient outcomes; basic research in cognitive and emotional processes that inform adjustment
- Assessment: of local idioms of distress, mental health needs and attitudes towards illness and treatment in regions around the world; Development and psychometrics of new and validation of existing symptom and functioning scales; Definition and development of metrics of individual and community-level resilience
- Intervention: training in principles and strategies of evidence-based psychotherapies relevant to GMH and trauma exposure for prevention, treatment, implementation/dissemination; Adaptation for cultural relevance and manualization of psychosocial interventions; Design and implementation of clinical trials and program evaluations; Ethical conduct of cross-cultural research with vulnerable populations; Development of e-tools and knowledge management for quality improvement
- Policy: Country-wide mental health situational analysis; Partnering with government and non-government stakeholders to develop and implement mental health policy
G) Sexuality, Women, & Gender: This area of focus prepares students to envision and implement the next wave of theories and practices to improve well-being of persons with the above identities. Students will sample and apply women, gender, and sexuality theories to better understand the psychological and social lives of understudied groups such as women, LGB and Transgendered persons. This concentration is also relevant to the study of the human development of gender differences and roles ("masculinities/feminities"), sex and intimacy, reproductive and maternal mental health, and violence against women (VAW), among others. The ONE requirement is CCPX 4125 OR CCPJ 4180. Please choose THREE additional courses from the list below. Total = 4 courses/12 credits. Dr. Aurelie Athan is the head of this concentration.
If you are satisfied with the concentration, other departments throughout TC and Columbia University are likely to have related coursework. You are free to continue to build upon your area of interest as long as you are on track to fulfill the PSY-G track or PSY-G concentration requirements. It is also recommended to secure a fieldwork placement and to focus your Special Project in the selected area of concentration.
The combination of coursework, research/fieldwork, and writing experience allows students to acquire the necessary background to prepare them for longer-term career opportunities consistent with their chosen sub-specialty. Choosing a concentration can assist students to find well-matched opportunities upon graduation.

SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) — Neel Kashkari is not a household name for most Americans, probably not for most Californians either.
But in his mercurial career, he has probably had more influence on our lives than we're aware.
Between 2006 and 2009, Kashkari was an aide and assistant U.S. Treasury secretary under Henry Paulson, his former boss at Goldman Sachs Group Inc. GS, -1.04% Kashkari was chiefly responsible for running the Troubled Asset Relief Program. That's better known as TARP, the $700 billion bank-bailout program.
Even if you don't know what TARP is, you know about the popularity of bank bailouts.
So you may find it surprising that the 41-year-old Kashkari is now the Republican nominee to unseat popular Gov. Jerry Brown in this fall's election in California.
That either makes him the unluckiest guy in California or a glutton for punishment. Probably both.
I don't want to say Kashkari doesn't have a chance, but given the Golden State's rising economic fortunes, its budget surplus and Brown's formidable political machine, a Republican former Wall Street banker has about the same chance as a homeowner did of getting a mortgage-payment reduction under Kashkari's program.
That said, Kashkari is giving it a try — with all of the sensitivity you'd expect from a former Goldman Sachs banker.
To show his concern, and perhaps, to gain a better understanding for the impoverished, Kashkari spent a week at the end of July "homeless" on the streets of Fresno. He boarded a bus, brought a toothbrush and with $40 in his pocket, tried to find a job. He was just like any other homeless person with a campaign camera crew following him. He slept on the streets and said he couldn't even find a "help wanted" sign.
Then, it was revealed that Kashkari actually did pretty well during his homeless-in-Fresno experience. His campaign coffers more than tripled to $430,000. He also got a $27,000 check from Paulson.
Not bad for a week's work, or lack of it.
Democrats seized on Kashkari's Fresno fact-finding mission as evidence that the Republican doesn't have a plan for California. After all, what exactly was Kashkari's point? That ex-Treasury officials don't make good baristas? That the state needs a lower, or higher minimum wage? Job training programs are inadequate? That Fresno sucks?

Global Temperatures, Volcanic Eruptions, and Trees that Didn't Bark
Interestingly, the long-term variations indicated by the model simulations compared remarkably well with those documented by the tree-ring reconstruction, showing no obvious sign of the potential biases in the estimated low-frequency temperature variations that have been the focus of much previous work (see e.g. this previous RealClimate review). Instead, the one glaring inconsistency was in the high-frequency variations, specifically, the cooling response to the largest few tropical eruptions, AD 1258/1259, 1452/1453 and the 1809+1815 double pulse of eruptions, which is sharpy reduced in the reconstruction relative to the model predictions. Indeed, this was found to be true for any of several different published volcanic forcing series for the past millennium, regardless of the precise geometric scaling used to estimate radiative forcing from volcanic optical depth, and regardless of the precise climate sensitivity assumed.
Following the AD 1258 eruption, the climate model simulations predict a drop of 2C, but the tree ring-based reconstruction shows only about a 0.5C cooling. Equally vexing, the cooling in the reconstruction occurs several years late relative to what is predicted by the model. The other large eruptions showed similar discrepancies. An analysis using synthetic proxy data with spatial sampling density and proxy signal-to-noise ratios equivalent to those of the D'Arrigo et al (2006) tree-ring network suggest that these discrepancies cannot be explained in terms of either the spatial sampling/extent or the intrinsic "noisiness" of the network of proxy records.
However, using a tree growth model that accounts for the temperature growth thresholding effects discussed above, combined with the complicating effects of chronological errors due to potential missing growth rings, explains the observed features remarkably well.
Show in the above figure (Figure 2d from the article) is the D'Arrigo et al tree-ring based NH reconstruction (blue) along with the climate model (NCAR CSM 1.4) simulated NH mean temperatures (red) and the "simulated tree-ring" NH temperature series based on driving the biological growth model with the climate model simulated temperatures (green). The two insets focus on the response to the AD 1258 and AD 1809+1815 volcanic eruption sequences. The attenuation of the response is produced primarily by the loss of sensitivity to further cooling for eruptions that place growing season temperatures close to the lower threshold for growth. The smearing and delay of the cooling, however, arises from another effect: when growing season lengths approach zero, we assume that no growth ring will be detectable for that year. That means that an age model error of 1 year will be introduced in the chronology counting back in time. As multiple large eruptions are encountered further back in time, these age model errors accumulate. This factor would lead to a precise chronological error, rather than smearing of the chronology, if all treeline sites experienced the same cooling. However, stochastic weather variations will lead to differing amounts of cooling for synoptically distinct regions. That means that in any given year, some regions might fall below the "no ring" threshold, while other regions do not. That means that different chronological errors accumulate in synoptically-distinct regions of the Northern Hemisphere. In forming a hemispheric composite, these errors thus lead to a smearing out of the signal back in time as slightly different age model errors accumulate in the different regions contributing to the composite.

The Poodle Bites
Recently, I was in Romania for an aikido seminar. That was my first visit to the country, and a delightful one. Something that I found odd was the great number of stray dogs in the streets, running free and somehow finding their way to survive and reproduce.
Dogs have been companions of mankind for many thousands of years, maybe about 15,000. Before that they were wolves. According to Wikipedia, there are 400 million of them in the world, all of them living in sort of a symbiosis with our species.
But that can change. If we don't do our part of the age old agreement, they have no choice but to become wolves again. I could see tendencies of that in Romania. Not in the daytime, when their behavior was quite yielding, going about their business in a fashion showing respect for the creatures that seized the planet. But at night, the attitude of the stray dogs changed.
They became aggressive, standing their ground, challenging people as to remind us of what party broke the contract. They moved in packs and turned any place where they happened to be into their own territory.
Dogs, like humans, are flock animals. When they form a flock they feel the strength of it and cease to yield. So they did. So do we.
When dogs get this confident and don't depend on humans for their meals, it's not too hard to guess what will happen. It already does, to some extent. Just in Bucharest, the capital, there are 11,000 annual bite victims. Romanians are aware of the hazard and treat it with caution. Not unlike the wariness needed to manage in city areas harassed by gangs – human gangs. Dogs have gangs, too. It's the flock thing.
So, animosity increases, and will keep on doing so as long as the dogs are stray, still finding ways to survive and reproduce. Dogs are good at that, whether domesticated or not. And in the city their only bane would be the humans.
The people of Romania are struggling with the issue. The dogs are being sterilized, as well as can be managed with limited resources. This seems to be what animal rights groups advocate, as if it would be a pleasant alternative for the dogs. Actually, it's what racial biology and its political supporters suggested for "inferior" ethnic groups of people less than a hundred years ago.
I don't know. The alternative is to shoot the stray dogs. That's regarded as monstrous. Inhumane. As if nature worked any differently.
When the government took initiatives in this direction, the 1960's movie star Brigitte Bardot reacted. She is devoted to animal protection. My Romanian hosts told me that she took a plane to Romania and agitated strongly against the idea. Romania is not that used to visits from the jet set crowd, no matter how withered their cause for fame might be, so the officials gave up the idea, and the dogs continue to run free.
I really dislike the wiseacre attitude Bardot demonstrated. What does she know about the local situation? She's lived a charmed life since her movie debut in 1952, when she was only 18 years old. What right does she have to put any demands on how Romania should act on its own problems?
It's not that she offered to solve them. She just insisted that they should do it by sterilization, regardless of how difficult and inefficient that solution might have proven to be. Then she went home, proud as a peacock of her manifestation for animal rights. I don't think she brought any of the dogs with her.
A lot of celebrity activism is the same. Between gulps of Dom Pérignon, they protest one thing or another in politics, without the least concern for how complicated a lot of situations can be in real life. They live in a dream world, as if there were no reality outside of the silver screen and the tabloids.
For example, I saw on the Internet that Hollywood actor Matt Damon isn't pleased with Barack Obama's performance as the US President. Well, does he have any idea of how difficult that job is? Especially in the present economic situation. Obama inherited a nation on the brink of bankruptcy. What would Damon do?
People who have success tend to be cocky to the same extent. They should work on their modesty. Fame comes and goes. So does popularity. While these people have their fifteen minutes in the spotlight, there are thousands of others continuing with the tedious work of keeping society from collapsing.

I doubt these are your ideas about dogs in Romania, Mr. Stenudd.ReplyDelete
Anonymous 7:06, please elaborate.ReplyDelete
Instead of using "flock", it is better in English to use the term "herd". Humans are herd animals. Cows and sheep are herd animals. Dogs are herd animals.ReplyDelete
Have you noticed that all the animals that man has domesticated, all are herd animals except the domestic cat. Isn't that interesting? Is not Nature teaching us something there? I think so.
Political correctness is designed to destroy this aspect of human behavior that is necessary for race. B. Jowett in his translation of Plato's Republic uses the proverb "Birds of feather flock together" in reference to humans gathering by like. The original Greek is "Like to Like". Jowett captures the essence perfectly.
I'm with you the dogs need to be shot. Sad. But that is reality.
WLW, I do believe that dogs - like humans - are flock animals by nature. Herds are significantly greater groups.ReplyDelete
Of course, modern society forces humans to live in what can be described as herds - groups so big that we don't even know most of them personally. That might be the reason we have such a hard time adapting comfortably to society.
I like that you are not limited at one interest and even dogs are included. Looking at your site, I am smiling that your interests are so diverse. I like that you smoke despite the atrocious non-smoking campaign - good sign of no hypocrisy - so, you made me stop and read. I do not do this usually, but I was born in Romania and everything bad I hear or see hurts. There is no decent solution in Romania without funds and they will not spend money to care about dogs when old people have no food. The way we treat animals and old people is a sign of civilization.ReplyDelete
After 1990, Romania became a free country but as all freedoms, this one has a price: the poverty of the poor and the richness of the rich. Nothing spectacular here. The strange is that this people had nothing for a long time, the socialism took everything they had including self-respect. The new achieved freedom did not bring it back at all on the contrary it erased the common sense too. We can see very expensive, big, shinny cars, while old people have nothing to eat or wear in winter and beg for a few pennies on streets. In this kind of situation who can think about a solution, humane and decent for dogs? You are perfectly right about Bardot, no clue of what life is in poverty. If we expect a solution form the "money people", it will not come. That is why the dogs in Romania are on streets, they are everyone's dogs, they share the same poverty with the old beggars and nobody cares.
Simon, I like the way you put it: "they share the same poverty" - indeed. Something Bardot knows nothing about.ReplyDelete
Yes, for sure! In socialism they had a company who collected an killed them. Today they are free. What is better?ReplyDelete
I think that humans are not gathering in herds nor in flocks. I always believed that we gather in groups. A herd of humans? :))ReplyDelete

MORRISTOWN The former United Methodist Church building, 504 Gouverneur St., may be purchased by the Catholic Church.
The Morristown Central School District previously had expressed an interest in the building, advertised for $130,000, as a space for after-school and community events.
The district uses the churchs parking lot for faculty and staff and some members of the board of education were concerned that their ability to continue using the spaces could be jeopardized if the building is sold.
However, because of the cost of the building and fears that it would be prohibitively expensive to renovate, the district backed out of negotiations last month.
But St. John the Evangelist Catholic Church, 506 Gouverneur St., may take ownership of the building.
The Rev. Jay W. Seymour, pastor of the church, said, Were looking at the cost of renovating that.
Although he acknowledged the church is interested in the property, Father Seymour said, Its kind of premature at this point. We dont have enough information now to move forward.
He said the church is considering using the former Methodist church as a parish center alternative.
St. Johns has a parish center at Morris and Ann streets that has a defunct gymnasium on the back.
Father Seymour said compared with the current parish center, the Methodist church would be more suitable for large parish gatherings.
The building also could be used as a youth center, he said, and would be ideal for religious classes.
Father Seymour said the church would speak with the school district about parking if it took further steps to secure the building. We have made no offer on the building yet, he said.
The Rev. Thomas A. Clemow, property management consultant for the United Methodist Church, said in an email that the property is being actively marketed but would not comment on negotiations with the Catholic Church.
The Methodist Church vacated the building in August.

ROCKVILLE, Md. (WUSA9) Three and a half years after the Affordable Care Act was signed into law glitches marred the roll-out of enrollment into the program in Maryland Tuesday.
Maryland's websitehttp://www.marylandhealthconnection.gov/was not functioning until after noon Tuesday and remained balky into the afternoon.
A message on the website blamed "a high volume of users" and apologized for the delay.
The federal portal which connects to state websites, http://www.healthcare.gov, was also running slowly Tuesday.
In Maryland's DC suburbs, local health departments in Prince George's and Montgomery Counties are prepared to assist people trying to enroll in person for affordable health insurance with 80 counselors who are called "navigators".
Even so, at Rockville's Mansfield Kasemen Health Clinic, which serves uninsured residents of Montgomery County, the waiting room was empty and the navigator on duty had not enrolled anyone as of 11 a.m.
Health officials dismissed the balky roll-out as growing pains that will be quickly overcome.
"Despite the naysayers, we are going to move forward," said Montgomery County Executive Ike Leggett.
Local officials estimate at least 53,000 people are uninsured in Montgomery County alone.
Information on where to connect with a local navigator in Maryland's DC suburbs for in-person counselling on enrollment in the program can be found at http://capitalhealthconnection.org/
Maryland residents who are uninsured must obtain health insurance on their own or enroll for affordable health insurance through the state's health exchange by March 30, 2014 or pay a $95 penalty on their income taxes.
The cost of insurance offered on the exchange depends on the income level of the applicant and the amount of coverage that is purchased. In many cases, tax subsidies or an expansion of Medicaid coverage will make the insurance free.
The following websites can be used to begin the enrollment process in Maryland:

By KEVIN SCANNELLSun Advocate reporter
While the recent rainfall has been a welcome sight for an area grappling with drought conditions, that same rain helping saturate the soil is also unearthing an eyesore of weeds in yards and in every crack and crevice along city streets.
Along some streets in Price City, passersby can see weeds - some as high as six feet tall - breaking through the smallest of openings in the street. As the monsoon season nears its end this month, city officials are hoping that residents will help do their part in quelling the problems with weeds.
Gary Sonntag, Price City Public Works director, said the city would like to help out as much as possible with clearing away weeds. However, the city is not responsible for clearing out weeds in areas that are a property owner's responsibility, including the front of a property and on the property itself, Sonntag explained.
"The city cannot get out to every location and clear out weeds," said Sonntag. "People (homeowners) have a responsibility to take care of weeds along their properties."
Sonntag said he has seen weeds that have grown out of control since the start of the summer season. Some weeds, he explained, could be mistaken for something else.
"In some places, the weeds are starting to look like trees," he said.
City workers with the Streets Department have worked on trying to cut down the problems with weeds, especially along ditches, street corners and in areas around street signs. Sonntag said the city wants to make sure that street signs are clearly visible to motorists as well as pedestrians walking along streets in the within the city.
According to chapter 17.13.4 within the Price City land use and development management code, "all premises and exterior property shall be maintained free from weeds or plant growth in excess of 12 inches in height". The code also goes on to say that weeds are "defined as grasses, annual plants and vegetation other than trees or shrubs...(but) shall not include cultivated flowers and gardens".
While there may be a problem with a property owner not clearing away weeds on their property or areas along the property that they are responsible for, the city does not look to give out tickets immediately.
"Usually the city will post a notice letting the homeowner know some weeds need to be cleared away within a set period of time," said Nick Tatton, Price City community director. Should the problem not be resolved within the allotted time, then a ticket may be an option, Tatton explained.
The problems with weeds are not just limited to the city, businesses and homeowners, other entities including Utah Department of Transportation and Union Pacific are responsible for clearing away weeds and debris that fall in line with their rights of way. Sonntag said he has been in contact with both entities on clearing away the weed growth in areas they are responsible for. However, despite the recent growth of weeds in those areas, Sonntag said the city cannot just go in and do the work for them.
While taking care of a property can be a time consuming task, keeping areas cleared from weeds can help improve the look of the city, especially to the eyes of people not from the area, Sonntag said.
Tips for clearing out weeds include using weed repellant spray on affected areas more than once during the late spring and summer seasons and watching areas along a property where any cracks or crevices are located where weeds may sprout from.
"Residents need to try their best at controlling the weeds in advance," said Sonntag.
If residents have questions about areas they may or may not be responsible for cleaning, they can contact Price City Public Works at 637-5010.
