Nudges: The new black in environmental policy?
Keystone actors shape marine ecosystems
Österblom, H., Jouffray, J-B., Folke, C., Crona, B., Troell, M., Merrie, A., and Rockström, J. 2015. Transnational corporations as 'keystone actors' in marine ecosystems. PLOS ONE, http://dx.plos.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0127533
Beijer Institute research visualised in art-science exhibition
Pressrelease 2015-04-14
"The biosphere is the thin outer layer of this planet in which life exists. We humans are part of the biosphere and completely dependent on the air, the oceans, the forests and all other ecological systems in order to survive and thrive." So begins the text interpreted by artist Jesper Waldersten in the exhibition Patterns of the Biosphere at the classical Swedish design company Svenskt Tenn. It is also the exhibition's overarching message and the basis for all research at the Beijer Institute.
-Regardless of whether one likes nature or not, we are all totally dependent on the biosphere for our own welfare, says Carl Folke, Director of the Beijer Institute. Environmental concern is today seen by many as an obstacle to development, but the conflict between economic development and ecological sustainability is really just a mental construct.
The Swedish interior design company Svenskt Tenn's profit goes via the Kjell and Märta Beijer Foundation to the support of research conducted at the Beijer Institute. In an exhibition opening 15 April, the institute's research on the interaction between man and the biosphere is visualised.
"Virtually all human activity has effects on the biosphere one way or the other. We want to help widen this knowledge and its importance for our future and the future of the planet, and also clarify the fact that all Svenskt Tenn's customers are contributing to important research in this field," says Maria Veerasamy, CEO of Svenskt Tenn.
Research at the Beijer Institute include developing new models of thinking and a terminology suited to our times. The Institute has been part of introducing and establishing the concepts "natural capital", "ecosystem services" and "ecological footprint". The results of the Institute's research are being picked up and put into practice at different levels throughout the world, for example in UN documents, EU decisions and national measures in different countries, but also at the local level in municipalities and companies.
A new approach to nature, the biosphere we live in, is the key to a more sustainable society. One way to accomplish this is to explain the world from a transdisciplinary holistic approach, applied by the Beijer Institute.
- Previously, both science and policy focused on one thing at a time. It is only now we begin to grasp the whole picture and understand the scale of the challenges. No place on Earth is unaffected by man and there is no human being that does not depend on the biosphere, says Carl Folke. He continues:
- The meeting between art and science makes it possible to reach people on a more emotional level than scientists normally have access to. We are very happy to have the opportunity to create this exhibition in collaboration with Svenskt Tenn and that it can be displayed in this unique environment.
The exhibition is free of charge and runs from April 15 through to June 15, 2015 in the Svenskt Tenn store in Stockholm.

Film launch on Urban Green Commons
A new film series has been launched picturing the growing movement of urban gardening.
During the last three years Beijer Institute researcher Johan Colding and his research colleagues from Stockholm Resilience Centre and Royal Technical College (KTH) collaborated with the filmmakers Seven Frames Production to document a number of urban farming projects in both Berlin and Stockholm, as part of a research project.
The film series is called Urban Green Commons: Berlin-Stockholm and draws ultimately on the notion that common property initiatives can offer important alternatives to privatization of land in cities. The film series consists of four films that each deals with different aspects of urban gardening and farming.
"It has been truly fascinating to see what can happen when local residents themselves get a chance to dig into the soil, work with their hands, and together with others get the opportunity to take care of and manage green areas in cities," says Pehr Arte, one of the film makers.
Common spaces with different purposes These urban gardens have been created by citizens often on what was old waste land, such as an abandoned train track in Stockholm, but they vary in management form and theme. In Stockholm one of the gardens "Folkodlarna i Kärrtorp" focus on spreading knowledge of organic gardening and producing local food. Meanwhile, the "Ökogarten Bushgraben" in Berlin is more spritually oriented and aim with its activities to be restorative for persons that are mentally fatigue or disabled.
The gardens are examples of what Johan Colding and his colleagues have labelled "Urban Green Commons", green city spaces that are collectively organized and managed by the residents themselves. They represent a particular type of property right systems, which are different from those that are in the hands of private actors or the state and local governments.
"There is an increasing scientific interest in urban gardening and urban common property systems. The film series supports and complements several findings from the scientific literature," explains Johan Colding.
Science and film combined in project
Much of the new insights featured in the films have been derived from scientific studies on Urban Green Commons and similar gardening projects in cities and the films are part of the research project SUPER (Sustainable Urban Planning for Ecosystem services and Resilience). This project intends to develop knowledge on how urban planning processes can better integrate ecosystem services to nurture local resilience building in urban landscapes. It also strives to lay a foundation for social innovations about inclusive forms of ecosystem stewardship, something that both the film-makers and the researchers have found to be vital for transitions into more sustainable cities.
"In the long-term, we in the SUPER project hope to be able to generate new knowledge and innovations of immediate concern to urban residents, policy makers, and urban planners," says Johan Colding.
The films have been produced by Seven Frames with the support of Formas (Swedish Research Council for Environment, Agricultural Sciences and Spatial Planning) and the Beijer Institute/Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences. Johan Colding is responsible for the original idea and has been the scientific project manager.

Hawaiian reefs through the resilience lens
But people matter too
Avoiding regime shifts in coral reefs is important because coral reefs are among the most biologically diverse ecosystems on earth and harbour approximately 25% of all marine species. They provide a wide range of ecosystem goods and services that are crucial for economic and societal development, such as food, coastal protection and income from tourism.

By Steve Graham for Networx
A strong wind gust and attractive rebates may not add up to a good deal on residential wind power. Several factors affect the amount of power generated by a home wind turbine. Homeowners should avoid general ratings and carefully study the potential power-generating capacity of a wind turbine on a specific site.
Power Ratings
Most turbines have a power rating in kilowatts (kW). The rating is somewhat like a car's horsepower figure. It shows which engine or turbine is bigger, but isn't a direct measure of the machine's full energy output. The number of "horses under the hood" doesn't indicate the fuel efficiency or top speed without vehicle weight, driving conditions and other stats. At least most car buyers have already owned a car, so they have a rough idea how to translate horsepower figures. However, homeowners are typically buying their first turbine, so they have nothing for comparison.
Utility bills are measured in kilowatt-hours (kWh) — power usage multiplied by time. For example, a 100-watt light bulb left on for 10 hours uses one kWh. Many companies and industry groups say a 10 kW system will generate about 10,000 kWh per year (equaling the average power usage in a U.S. home), but the real output will be higher or significantly lower. The turbine puts out a maximum of 10 kW under perfect conditions, so it could theoretically generate 10 kW for 24 hours a day 365 days a year, or 87,600 kW per year. With soft breezes, it will generate just a handful of watts.
Calculating the real power output of a wind turbine in watts involves multiplying the mechanical efficiency by the wind speed, air density, and rotor blade length.
Wind Speed
Wind speeds and other weather factors make a bigger difference to power output than a turbine's parts. This U.S. Department of Energy map shows annual average wind speeds at 50 meters above the ground. Residential wind turbines have been installed in most U.S. states, but many areas do not have enough wind to spin turbines. No matter what the installer or manufacturer says, you won't generate significant power at speeds below 10 miles per hour.

Not for one second will the Liverpool ice hockey team mind being at Shove Park Friday night, facing undefeated West Genesee in the Section III Division I semifinals.
The Warriors had used a late-season push to get into the sectional playoffs, then traveled to Auburn's Casey Park Tuedsay night for a "play-in" game and prevailed 3-1 over the Maroons to earn a shot at the 20-0 Wildcats.
Liverpool and Auburn had split their regular-season meetings, the Warriors winning 4-3 on Jan. 8, the Maroons answering with an 8-2 romp on Feb. 5, a mere 11 days before the tie-breaker would decide both teams' fates.
Going all-out from the start, the Warriors achieved a series of odd-man rushes on Auburn's eighth-grade goaltender, Jeff Gardner.
It didn't work right away -- but in a telling moment just 4.9 seconds before the period ended, Gardner could not put a firm hold on Brad Capone's shot, allowing Matt McCaffrey to swoop in and put home the rebound.
Now up 1-0 going to the second period, Liverpool kept attacking. Off an Auburn turnover, McCaffrey broke in on yet another two-on-one break. Though his initial shot got stopped, McCaffrey grabbed the rebound and converted, making it 2-0.
Auburn cut it to 2-1 on Nick Herlhy's goal, but the Warriors reverted to a defensive strategy in the third period and kept the Maroons from pulling even. Capone would put home the insurance goal.
All game long, Liverpool's defense had to work hard to prevent Auburn from catching up, and goaltender Mike Sportelli was superb, stopping 30 of the 31 shots he faced.

Hey, I'm Narada!
Well, besides my shared love of travel, I also want to live out my experience in my destinations. Being totally new to this concept, I'm sick of the boring old hotel rooms which are not only impersonal, but bars myself from the local experiences and culture. Besides a bed to sleep on or a toilet to freshen up, a friend who can guide me and share stories is a dream come true for avid travellers like me. I'm young yet mature and would love to meet you and share different perspectives.
What I can't live without: a book, music, airplanes, the Internet and God
How it will be like to have me as your guest: although I am more of an introspective person alone, with people I can't stop talking (unless you want me to). I'm very hospitable and won't bother you much unless I really need something or if you really need me. In that way I'm flexible and built to please. I speak English, Indonesian and some French and LOVE to discuss culture, travel and philosophy. I dont smoke, have pets (but love them), eat meat, drink caffeine, do drugs, drink alcohol or sleep around.

Neil Mason | September 5, 2013 | Comments
As people get more excited by big data, I get excited by small data. It may be small but it's powerful.
You have all this so-called big data, but just how valuable is it? Is the data you collect, particularly in the digital world, all that useful? Are some data points far more valuable than others? These are some of the questions I see organizations wrestling with and I think they're interesting ones because sometimes there's an underlying assumption in these days of the big data hyperbole that more is better. I'm not convinced and here's why.
For digital marketers and analysts, probably their biggest data source in terms of volumes of data they use on a regular basis is their web analytics system. By conventional definitions web analytics data is pretty "big," volumes are large, and velocity is high. But a lot of web analytics data at any one point in time is froth and generates very little value at all, and here's why.
I'll use a very simple segmentation to make the point. If you look at the visitors who visit your websites or use your apps then they'll fall into one of three groups:
Anonymous visitors. These are visitors (or to be precise, device users) about whom you know very little. They have probably only visited once, or maybe twice. There's not a lot to know about them as there isn't enough data to make any sense from. There will be limited information on which channel they came in on, for example, and what they looked at, but not much necessarily to give you a full picture.
Observed visitors. These visitors have visited more frequently, so there's more data and more history, and potentially more to learn. Even though you don't know who these people are, you can begin to build up some kind of profile in terms of patterns of behavior and content consumption. When do they tend to visit? What do they tend to do when they arrive? Sometimes this data can be useful to understand general patterns and trends at an aggregated or macro level.
Known visitors. These are the visitors who you really care about because you have some kind of relationship with them. That relationship might be quite tenuous because all you have is an email address, or it could be quite deep because they're gold card carrying loyalty members. It's likely that you have had multiple touch points with them probably over multiple devices and multiples channels. From the data you've gathered you can build up a deep insight into their behaviors and preferences and leverage that insight to provide deeper, richer, and more relevant experiences. This is valuable stuff!
So, as a visitor migrates through these segments on her customer lifecycle, the data on her gets richer and more valuable. However, the number of visitors in each of these segments gets smaller. By far and away the biggest segment is the anonymous visitors. Depending on the type of business or organization you are this segment could account for between 50 percent and 80 percent of all your visitors, meaning that the vast majority of the data that's collected, processed, stored, and reported on represents a poor return on investment. It's just numbers making up the numbers, so to speak. The real valuable data is on the relatively small numbers of visitors who are meaningful to you. This is the data you can do something with. It doesn't just tell you how many of them there are but who they are, where they are, and what they are like.
As people get more excited by big data, I get excited by small data. It may be small but it's powerful. To use the old analogy, if analysis is like mining for nuggets of gold in your data, then a lot of big data is the ore you have to dig through to find them.

Dick Wilson is up long before most of Kansas City is.

Dick Wilson is up long before most of Kansas City is.
"There are times when I leave on Noland Road in the morning when I'm the only car there, and that's a religious experience," he says.
It comes with the job. He's the morning voice of KMCO, the oldies station at 94.9 FM, from 5 a.m. to 10 a.m. Monday through Friday. He been a familiar voice on the radio in the area for 42 years.
Last Friday, however, Wilson, an Independence resident, was honored for his other work in the community.
"Dick Wilson has been part of our scenery for a long time in Independence," Independence Mayor Don Reimal said during ceremonies at the Truman Library. "Whenever we've called, he's been there."
The ceremony was for the presentation of the annual Truman Public Service Award, this year presented to Adm. Mike Mullen, former chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.
In addition, a special recognition was given to Wilson.
"It was quite an honor," he said.
Wilson has been active with the Child Abuse Prevention Association and for years has been president of the board at the Music Arts Institute. Both groups are in Independence.
He's also called upon to emcee many events.
"I guess what my talent might be is talk loud to get people to quiet down before an event," he joked.
At Friday's event, Congressman Emanuel Cleaver II, who is a Methodist pastor, also took note of the distinctive Wilson sound.
"Over the years, I've wanted his voice," Cleaver joked. "... He has one of the most powerful voices in the community ... and he has used it for community service."
Wilson said that's the key: Find your talent, and put it to use.
"There's a lot of things that you can do that help out the city. ... Say yes when someone asks you," he said.
Wilson said he still enjoys morning on the radio and plans to go "as long as the voice holds out and people still want me around."

Philadelphia (July 27, 2009) DLX5, a gene crucial for embryonic development, promotes cancer by activating the expression of the known oncogene, MYC, according to researchers from Fox Chase Cancer Center. Since the DLX5 gene is inactive in normal adults, it may be an ideal target for future anti-cancer drugs, they reason. Their findings are published in the July 31 edition of the Journal of Biological Chemistry, available online now.
Previously the researchers found that a chromosomal inversion a genetic misalignment, where part of the chromosome containing the DLX5 gene gets flipped around during cell division cooperates with another known oncogene, AKT2, to drive cancer in mice. In the current paper, the researchers discover that DLX5 binds to and actively promotes the activity of a gene known as MYC, which evidence has demonstrated is a potent factor in numerous cancers, including lymphoma, lung and pancreatic cancer. Their studies were performed in mouse cancer models and in human cell cultures.
"While MYC has a definite role in cancer, MYC also has an important place in the normal functioning of cells, so it may be difficult to target without killing healthy cells," says Joseph Testa, PhD, a Fox Chase professor and co-author of the study. "DLX5, however, is not generally active in healthy adult cells, so it represents a much more 'druggable' target for cancer inhibition."
According to Testa, DLX5 is a member of the homeobox family of genes, which direct the timing of events in the physical development of a growing fetus, such as when to sprout a limb, for example. In adults, such genes are almost entirely inactive.
After their previous studies demonstrated that expression of the protein encoded by the DLX5 gene correlated with that of the MYC gene, Testa and Jinfei Xu, PhD, a research associate in the laboratory, used a luciferase assay developed from the luciferase enzyme fireflies use to make light to see e

Family business: Couples should talk more about their finances
Never assume your mate has the same philosophies about handling money as you do. Marriages can be strained when financial discussions don't happen and issues relating to budgeting are swept under the carpet.
The best and most profitable businesses have financial strategies that include detailed budgets for expenditures. Most households simply cannot have a proper reference point without planning, and planning cannot occur without proper input. How should the data gathering process begin? What information is important to document? How should it be documented, and what to do with it once documented? All are good questions.
Start first with income sources. Record all areas of direct income you have coming into the household, including net pay, Social Security, pensions, rents, installment sales, and other unearned sources. Be sure to separate principal and income from installment or amortized payments.
Expenses are an interesting topic. Ask most people what they spend, and they can perhaps take an educated guess. Ask most couples the cost to live in a home they may have in mind, and, unfortunately, they cannot tell you. Mention "expenses" and most people think "budgets" and a "painful" experience. This should not be the case.
Documenting expenses does not have to be a negative experience. Having information outlined for your review can lead to intelligent decisions. You do not need a complicated computer program; a pad and pencil will work.
Start by listing categories. The following items may help: 1. Liabilities, including mortgage or rent, real estate taxes, notes payable interest, personal loans and charge accounts; 2. Federal and state income taxes, paid through estimated payments; 3. Transportation costs, including gas, oil, repairs, maintenance, and parking expenses; 4. Contributions to nonprofit organizations; 5. Support payments to care for a child, parent, or other family member; 6. Insurance costs, including health, medical supplement plans, long-term care, disability, automobile, homeowners, and life insurance; 7. Household expenses broken down into food and groceries, clothing and personal items, doctors and prescriptions, utilities and lawn care, association dues, educational expenses, vacation and travel, recreation/entertainment, gifts, home furnishings and miscellaneous. Try to limit use of the miscellaneous category. If a regular and significant expense is not categorized above, create a customized category.
Once completed, total your categories and look for one-time expenses or missed items. Review at least a 12-month history. From here, you can project the next 12 months. Applying your income figure to your expense detail should give an accurate read of the amount you have applied to savings and investments. Review your expenses for items that are out of line and need adjustment or further attention.
Spend time talking about the details of your cash flow picture. Once on target with good conversation, you can begin to set realistically attainable and measurable goals. Consider working with an adviser who can help you gain a perspective on handling your finances.

Banksy Donates Latest Piece To HIV/AIDS Charity, NYC's Housing Works Thrift Shop
Banksy's whirlwind of a residency month on the streets of New York City is about to come to an end, but not before the renowned street artist has had a chance to really make a difference in the community. Unbeknownst to Housing Works, a chain of New York thrift shops with a mission of ending "AIDS through relentless advocacy, the provision of lifesaving services, and entrepreneurial businesses that sustain our efforts," Banksy's installation for Tuesday, October 29 ended up in their E. 23rd Street Chelsea location.
Titled "The Banality of the Banality of Evil," Banksy unveiled the piece on his website with a hint to its whereabouts (this one more obvious than his prior NYC work). Folks quickly descended upon the Chelsea Housing Works to see the oil painting—featuring Hitler staring into a lakeside landscape—front and center in the store's glass sidewalk display.
Thanks to Gothamist, we know that "someone" bought the painting from the Housing Works location a few weeks ago for $50, and it "just showed up" there this morning, with Banksy's little addition. An anonymous donor apparently phoned the thrift shop to let them know about the piece and suggested displaying it in the front case. Housing Works is now auctioning the Banksy piece with a starting bid at $74,000. The auction ends Thursday, October 31.

Bush Says U.S. Military Will Defend Israel From Iran
U.S. president also reiterates desire to resolve dispute over Iran's nuclear program diplomatically.
U.S. President George W. Bush said Monday he would use military force to protect Israel from Iranian threats, but also restated his desire to resolve the dispute over Iran's nuclear program diplomatically.
Bush, in a speech in Cleveland, Ohio, cited comments by Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad last year calling for Israel to be wiped off the map.
Iran's "stated objective" to destroy Israel is a "serious threat," Bush said as he marked three years since the start of the war in Iraq.
"But now that I'm on Iran, the threat to Iran, of course - the threat from Iran is, of course, their stated objective to destroy our strong ally Israel. That's a threat, a serious threat. It's a threat to world peace; it's a threat, in essence, to a strong alliance. I made it clear, I'll make it clear again, that we will use military might to protect our ally, Israel," Bush said.
Bush's comments come as the UN Security Council contemplates steps to address Iran's nuclear activities and after Iran accepted a months-old U.S. proposal for direct talks on Iraq.
The United States is concerned that the Iranians have allowed weapons into Iraq that have supported anti-U.S. insurgents and contributed to instability in the country. Iran is also believed to exercise influence on Iraq's majority Shiite population.
Bush said the purpose of any talks with Iran would be to raise U.S. concerns about developments in Iraq. His administration has ruled out negotiations over the nuclear dispute.
