Full SubmissionExpectations for the Outcome of RIO+20 Conference Georgia views the UN Conference on Sustainable Development (Rio+20) as a milestone event that will mark the beginning of a profound, world-wide transition towards a Green economy, that will enhance the level of integration and coherence between the social, environmental and economic dimensions of sustainable development and contribute to poverty eradication. Over the past twenty years environmental challenges on the global agenda in some areas have been solved, but considerable implementation gaps and challenges still remain. Rio+20 can address these implementation gaps and emerging challenges through the introduction of the needed reforms for sustainable development governance. Georgia sees the Conference as a significant platform to help secure renewed political commitment for sustainable development. To operationalize the transition towards the Green economy, the agreement on the elaboration of a Green economy roadmap as a 21st century development model could be a valuable deliverable of the Conference. Green economy roadmap will serve as a tool to identify measurable goals, objectives and actions at international and national levels as we move towards a Green economy. In this regard, sharing and incorporation of guidelines that offer diverse and applicable approaches for various stakeholders will be essential. A vast array of existing, well-studied concepts, related to cleaner production, corporate social responsibility, environmental management system etc, could significantly contribute to the implementation and promotion of a Green economy. Promotion of initiatives/innovations (scientific, business and private sector) in a Green economy in the context of sustainable development and poverty eradication is essential. Sustainable energy constitutes one of the key elements of sustainable development. The role of renewable energy in contribution to a Green economy should be further strengthened through innovative instruments and technology transfers. Georgia supports the Sustainable Energy for All initiative launched by the Secretary General and believes that the implementation of sustainable energy goals - universal access to a basic minimum level of modern energy services by 2030, doubling the share of renewable energy in the global energy mix by 2030 and doubling the energy efficiency improvement rate by 2030, as proposed by the Secretary General, would significantly contribute to the process of transition towards a Green economy. Meeting sustainable energy goals may be a challenging process, especially for the low and middle-income countries. In order to achieve necessary large reductions in GHG emissions, major restructuring will be required in numerous industries, including electricity production. Hence, the elaboration of various instruments to ensure the sharing of recommendations on how to develop renewable energy services may serve as an important tool. Water is another key priority area for the Government of Georgia. Progress in ensuring access to sanitation and safe water for all (MDG7) is essential. As a country with rich hydro resources, Georgia stands ready to promote and participate in international initiatives and partnerships to better address the ?water/energy/food security? nexus. Another key priority area for Georgia is the biodiversity protection. Georgia strongly supports the implementation of the Pan-European Biological and Landscape Diversity Strategy. It is important to recognize the unique role of biodiversity in supporting sustainable social and economic development and to draw attention to the global economic benefits of biodiversity in highlighting the growing costs of biodiversity loss and ecosystem degradation. Georgia recognizes Environmental Education (EE) and awareness-raising campaigns at various levels as one of the major instruments for achieving the Sustainable Development goals. The crucial role of efficient, goal-oriented, broad-based environmental education and awareness-raising campaigns is obvious. Illustration of economic losses that countries suffer when they are neglecting the principles of sustainable development and its inclusion in EE and awareness raising campaigns at all levels is one of the main tools of demonstrating the importance of pursuing sustainable development policies. Strong governmental institutions and their coordinated actions are crucial to promote a Green economy and to ensure the protection of nature and wise use of natural resources. Nevertheless, the private sector also has an important role to play. The involvement of the private sector in the promotion of sustainable development and Green economy objectives is currently still too weak. Rio+20 should boost discussions on active involvement of the private sector in the process of sustainability in all three pillars. The Conference should encourage countries to create an enabling environment for the private sector?s active participation in all three pillars of sustainable development at national levels. Successful implementation of global, legally binding documents and political commitments require the introduction of effective, transparent, flexible and adequate institutions and financial mechanisms and this should be taken into account by the global conventions and IFIs as well. It is welcomed that the UNFCCC follows this example through establishment of the Green Climate Fund. RIO+20 offers an opportunity to reinforce the architecture for sustainable development governance. Improving the coordination and coherence between the UN organizations responsible for all three pillars of sustainable development is important. National Experience Georgia remains committed to the Millennium Development Goals. Great strides have been made in fighting poverty; providing education, employment and shelter; improving maternal and child health, fighting HIV/AIDS; reforming the pension system and expanding the social safety net for pensioners and other socially vulnerable groups. The number of persons living beneath the poverty line has substantially decreased. However, improvements are still needed in this direction. Georgia has undertaken specific steps in combating climate change and introducing Green economy pathways. The backbone of a ?greener? economy is the hydro power potential of the country. Georgia is currently using approximately 20% of its potential, and is a net exporter of electricity. Hydro Energy generation is one of the fastest growing sectors in Georgia. At this time, over 93% of all of the electricity generated in Georgia comes from this source. In the next few years, as the new HPP?s construction is completed, Georgia is committed to shifting to 100% clean electricity consumption, as well as providing exports to foreign markets. It is important to note that the creation of a favorable investment environment has been a large determinate in the positive growth in the field of renewable energy. The growth includes promotion of Greenfield Projects based on the Build-Own-Operate principle. Special conditions were set for small capacity power plants. The minimum number of licenses for the power production activity could be obtained on a one-stop-shop principle. These measures were part of a broader anti-corruption strategy that was aimed at an efficient and corruption-free public sector and a competitive and corruption-free private sector. The primary focus was on the creation of a favorable investment climate based on efficiency, transparency, and the rule of law. Furthermore, the concept of Low Emission Development Strategy in Georgia (LEDS) has been endorsed by the Government of Georgia. Tbilisi and Rustavi?s joint initiative for the EU Covenant of Mayors has resulted in the development of the Sustainable Energy Action Plan for Tbilisi, 2011- 2020. The Plan covers actions for the transport and street lighting sectors; energy efficiency in buildings; municipal landfills, waste water treatment, and green space. Steps are also underway towards sustainable development including reducing of CO2 emissions in the capital city via various initiatives (e.g. Covenant of Mayors, Sustainable Energy Plan, etc.) and the introduction of electric vehicles. As a first step, government car fleets will be replaced by EVs.

Bought a 308 tactical a few years ago at a gunshow.do they do well?

Bought a 308 tactical a few years ago at a gunshow.do they do well?
I bought one of the Axis 06's to haul around in the boat and on the 4 wheeler sense it is something I don't have to worry about scratching up and I just can't believe how well that damn thing shoots for a 300 buck rifle. I think I got the Axis for 279 on sale at Dicks a couple years ago, and for the way that thing shoots,,what a bargain. I think I'm going to put one of the Accu-Trigger groups on it though, the one they come with isn't that great.
I've probably had 10 Savages, or more, over the years and I've never had one that didn't shoot great, they really are great guns for the buck. Not stylish or fancy like lots of others are, but there job is to get a round on target, and on that count,, they get it done very very well.
I'd almost be willing to bet that the Savages are the best shooting guns off the rack as anything else on the market right now unless you get into the big buck guns, and the Savage,,any Savage,,, would give even them a run for there money.
I had a 110 FP in .308. ( their tactical model at the time) It actually shot 1/2" 5 shot groups at 100 yds. I paid about $260 for it about 15 years ago. I really like the way Savage mounts and headspaces their barrels too.
there is a trigger for the axis/edge --the standard accutrigger is a no go for the axis/edge.
my edge has a pretty decent trigger bone stock-- somewhere on the interwebbs there is a how too mod for tuning up the stock set up for $0--
Hey,, thanks for that info, j427x. I hadn't even looked at the trigger group yet, I had no clue about the accu trigger not fitting the Axis.
I'll check the web universe for tuning tips. Hell now you got me thinking trigger stuff, tomorrow after the festivities might be a good time to take the stock off and see what we got under there,,,,, just for shits and giggles.
maybe even do some fussing around,,ya never know with me.
I polished the internals and the trigger is good to go just waiting on one of my kids to help me sight in.
Even though I cleaned up the trigger on my savage tactical I was wondering if the accu trigger will bolt right in? Didn't know if they sold them really. Thanks!
i thought all the tacs had accutriggers ??
the AXIS/EDGE is the only ones that a accutrigger don't fit that i know of.
I think mine was made in the late 90's before the accu trigger was introduced.thanks for your input tho!

Rated 4.8 out of 5 by 6 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by ramcc Basket is lovely I first ordered and received a Hibiscus woven basket. It was too large. I gave it to a friend. And then, I saw this one and ordered it. I am so happy with this one. It is just the right size. I wish they had had another Hibiscus basket in the right (slightly smaller) size. If, I see it I will also buy it. September 6, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by GeorgieRose Very well made & Useful! I bought 2 of these and wish I woulda nought 2 more at the time. I bought a couple carts and threw these in on a whim. I use them for laundry. They are very sturdy and just the right size to carry up and down the stairs. Right now I am using one to keep my many throw blankets rolled up in and have it by the couch. I recently bought the laundry hamper in this collection and can't wait to get it in the mail. January 1, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by amesmn LOVE these baskets for laundry! We purchased 4 of these baskets to spiff up our bedroom closet. They work perfect for us all lined up along the bottom of the closet floor and are the perfect height and size. We have one basket each for whites, neutrals, bright colors and darks, and once one gets full, we take it downstairs to put it in the wash. I can't tell you how much easier it makes our laundry load. No more sorting piles of dirty laundry when it's time to do a load. I'd highly recommend this basket! June 12, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by palmal Just as described online Accurate in color and size, it fits right in with any decor. Great for storage of just about anything. Very good product for the price. April 23, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Mom with too many toys around! Great deal! Amazing! I was so prepared to spend twice as much for similar baskets! What a deal! I bought two and would love to get more, but my local store was sold out! March 3, 2010
Rated 4 out of 5 by PCTCeanothus Great for mixed recyclables in kitchen I recently purchased this product to have a decorative bin for mixed recyclables in the kitchen. I use a reusable plastic grocery tote as a liner, which fits the basket reasonably well. It's much more decorative than the old plastic bin it replaced, yet is still easy to carry and toss things into. It's sturdy, not tippy, and is ridgid, unlike some baskets of this design. The handles are wired, giving them structural stability as well. While this basket might not last forever, it's an outstanding value at [$] February 18, 2010

When I first started out in the music industry, I was most concerned with freedom. Freedom to produce, freedom to play all the instruments on my records, freedom to say anything I wanted to, and after much negotiation Warner Brothers Records granted me that freedom and I thank them. Without any real spiritual mentors other than artists ... whose records I admired ... Larry Graham being one of them ... I embarked on a journey more fascinating than I could ever have imagined. But a word to the wise. Without real spiritual mentoring, too much freedom can lead to the soul's decay. And a word to the young artists ... a real friend or mentor is not on your table. A real friend and mentor cares for your soul as much as they do the other one. This world and its wicked systems becomes harder and harder to deal with without a real friend or mentor. And I wish all of you the best."

Advanced Ethics: Beyond the Basics
3 CEUs
Whether acting as a therapist, a community organizer, policy or legal advocate, social workers have a responsibility to make decisions that are informed by thoughtful and thorough ethical reasoning. Often called the conscience of society, social workers are intimately involved with the details of clients' lives, practicing at the highly charged intersection of ethical, moral and legal issues. Balancing a need to be sensitive to differences in culture and having a responsibility to confront oppression requires a finely nuanced ability to identify ethical dilemmas and provide sensitive leadership to resolve conflicting points of view. Assuming a basic understanding of ethics, this seminar reviews the framework of an "ethical work-up" to understand and strategize ethical dilemmas. Using the theoretical framework of how to engage people in difficult conversations, complex case examples are employed to explore the challenge of leading patients, families and colleagues through resolving complex ethical dilemmas. Upon completion of this workshop, participants are able to: 1) articulate the challenges to maintaining an ethical practice in the social work field; 2) demonstrate the ability to complete an "ethical work-up" of a complex situation, separating out ethical issues from other practice and logistical aspects; 3) delineate strategies for engaging colleagues and administrators in identifying and exploring ethical dilemmas; and 4) articulate strategies for assessing ethical dilemmas for diverse clientele.
Jennifer Campbell, PhD, MSW, has a consulting practice working with non-profit agencies providing program development, program evaluation, strategic planning, training and grantswriting. She also teaches Ethics at the Bryn Mawr Graduate School of Social Work and Social Research, and coordinates events for the Enhanced Educational Opportunities (EEO) in policy at the school.
Restorative Practices for Social Workers
6 CEUs
$125 (see Registration Information for discount information)
"Restorative Practices" is an emerging field of study that enables people to restore and build community in an increasingly disconnected world. The fundamental unifying hypothesis of restorative practices is disarmingly simply: that human beings are happier, more cooperative and productive, and more likely to make positive changes in their behavior when those in positions of authority do things with them and, rather than to them or for them." (Wachtel, 2004). This workshop will focus on how restorative practices can be implemented into social work practice with individuals, groups and families. Diversity and the need for equitable treatment of individuals, families and groups will be addressed in discussions of different cultures, beliefs and communication styles. Upon completion of this course, participants will have learned: 1) the basic premises of the theory of restorative practices; 2) how to use affective statements and affective questions; 3) how to use restorative circles; and 4) how to make use of family group decision making. This workshop is appropriate for all levels of post-master's practitioners. Social workers who provide direct service to individuals, groups and/or families will find these techniques useful.

Sex Addiction: Assessment and Treatment
6 CEUs
$125 (see Registration Information for discount information)
Out-of-control sexual behavior has received considerable attention in literature and the media in recent years. Clinicians report concern about its definition, diagnostic assessment, and treatment modalities. If it is discovered that habitual out-of-control sexual behavior has the characteristics of other addictions, various theoretical and clinical benefits could follow. If, however, habitual sexual behavior only resembles an addiction superficially, then there are dangers associated with loosely describing the activity in this way. Should repetitive sexual activity resemble impulsive or compulsive disorders, then the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention would be remarkably different. This workshop explores and differentiates similar behaviors which take on different functions and meanings. The field of sexual addiction is relatively young and research and treatment has focused on understanding of the disorder from those who present themselves clinically, primarily heterosexual white men. This workshop speculates about diversity by including religion, gender, age, sexual orientation, and cultural issues. More significantly, the diagnosis of sexual addiction challenges what constitutes "normal" sexuality as reflected in social and psychological theory and in diagnosis. Recognizing the cultural relativity and the historical attitudes about sexuality sheds light on the difficulties of establishing "sexual addiction as a diagnosable mental illness." Upon completion of this workshop, participants 1) begin to compare theoretical models of excessive sexual behavior from psychodynamic and cognitive/behavioral theories to traditional addiction models; 2) have an understanding of how cultural attitudes about sexuality affect concepts of sexual normalcy and sexual control; 3) have an historical overview of how sexual disorders in the DSM have changed over time; and 4) enter the debate regarding the current attitudes about sexuality and the formulation of sexual addiction as a mental illness. This workshop is appropriate for post-master's level practitioners with two or more years of direct practice experience in clinically-focused settings, such as private practice, and D&A and human sexuality counseling.

I have a indoor photography to be done.. A social work. And I am very new for DSLR. I have Canon 600D with 18-55 mm IS II kit lens. I can use auto modes. But thought to use this opportunity as a learning purpose as well. So I would like to know what should be the settings I have to apply if I do this on manual mode. The environment is inside a room, white back ground, light condition is not much good. (Just ceiling lights) . Thanks and appreciate your suggestions.
Please don't be afraid of higher ISO settings. While it's true that ISO 6400 is a bit much for the 600D (and ISO 12800 is for emergencies only, like surveillance or "get the shot or else" photojournalism), ISO 1600 is perfectly OK on the 600D and ISO 3200 will clean up acceptably.
Remember: look at the picture, not at the pixels. It will make you a much happier photographer, and probably a much better one. With a lens having image stabilization and IS turned on, you ought to be able to hand-hold your camera (with practice) in most indoor conditions at ISO 1600 or 3200, and most human subjects (well, most grown-up human subjects, at least) should be able to keep still for the expected 1/8 to 1/30 shutter speed with a kit lens set to its maximum (lowest f-number) aperture if they try. Trying to use a lower ISO will mean that you need to use a tripod, and that you'd have to "freeze" your subjects long enough that even their small, involuntary movements are going to show up as image blur. A quarter of a second doesn't sound like much time, but it's hard to keep a person really still that long.
Set your camera on aperture priority, and use the widest aperture you can. Don't switch to a lower ISO unless the camera tells you that the shutter speed it's going to use is faster than 1/60s. Grain (noise) is a pain, but a faster shutter speed and the resulting sharper picture will result in a much better picture than something that is virtually noise-free but blurry. If you're hand-holding, don't close down your aperture unless you can do that while maintaining a high enough shutter speed (and, depending on the shot, you may want to close down the aperture before you even think about lowering the ISO so that you can get more of the scene in focus).
If you can bring more light, do it. Even a cheap LED "camping lantern", strategically placed, can make a huge difference (without affecting anyone's power usage). The light it produces will probably be very blue compared to the existing light, but you can either filter it (if proper photographic filters aren't available easily, you can use amber-coloured cellophane gift wrapping) or use the blue to artisic advantage. A plug-in work or utility lamp may be useful too if the electricity it uses isn't going to cause anyone financial hardship. A DSLR is a sensitive instrument, so you don't need anything like the truckload of location lighting we used to need in the film days; a 23-watt compact fluorescent bulb added to the light that's already there can make a huge difference to the picture.
It sounds like you are pretty new to photography so I'll keep this as easy as I can:
IF your subject is not moving (as I saw in the comments) then the things are simpler:
Shot more shoots and experiment with the ISO/Av values correlated with the output.
Good luck!
This will be a bit tricky for low light condition. You have to balance things. Set your ISO high enough, but not too high to avoid grains on your images. 800 maybe will do. If you can do lower it would be much better. But not low enough. Keep your aperture wide open so you can get more light. That should do the job.
If not then you have to open your shutter long enough to gain light. In this case you need make sure subject very steady to avoid blur.
Tip: Be artistic, blur will not be to bad. Experiment with slow shutter and you'll surprise of the result.
Your kit lens is slow, as was the 28-135 on my 50D. The best thing you can do use a flash. See http://strobist.blogspot.com/ for tons of information and lessons on using inexpensive flashes.
If the subject is not moving, you have a good tripod and you don't want to use flash, then use long exposures. Set aperture according to your depth of field requirements (how much of the subject is in focus, bigger the f-stop number the more area is in focus, but the exposure time gets longer) and use Av (or manual) setting on camera. Remote shutter cable can be quite useful to avoid camera shaking when pressing trigger button.
Big iso setting like something over 800 will give you quite a bit of noise.
Consider fiddling with white balance settings to get the colors right.

The only defense witness for convicted child abuser, Timothy Foxworth, is now facing his own charges.
John Lloyd surrendered to Bay County Sheriff's Deputies this weekend on a perjury charge.
Authorities said Lloyd lied about being an expert, when he testified in the case of Foxworth earlier this month.
"During the trial we started to get suspicious of things that were said by Lloyd, certifications he claimed and testimony he gave," said Albert Willis, a criminal investigator with BCSO.
Lloyd is a member of the Juris Pro Expert Witness Dictionary, a service for attorney's looking for experts in particular fields.
He claimed to be a professor of medicine at the University of South Florida, and has testified in other cases, involving brain injury and shaken baby syndrome.
But, investigators said he is not on the faculty at South Florida.
They also said they do not buy his testimony, supporting Foxworth's story that the brain injuries his 10-week old son received, could have happened in an accidental 2 ½ to 3 foot fall.
Authorities believe Lloyd's testimony may have helped convinced jurors to find Foxworth guilty of child abuse, which carries a 5 year sentence, instead of aggravated child abuse, which carries 30 years.
"Absolutely, it did affect the length of time he was likely sentenced to," said Willis.
"There is no way to know exactly what the jury found without evidence. Who considered it trustworthy and reliable," said Jennifer Hawkins, the assistant state attorney. "We think it did obviously have an impact on the outcome of the trial."
If convicted of perjury, Lloyd could face up to five years in prison.

Chief executive on new partnership
Margaret Byrne reflects on agreement with Tanzania.
Sunderland's chief executive, Margaret Byrne, has hailed the club's partnership with Tanzania as a big step forward.
The Black Cats have partnered with global energy giants Symbion Power to build a ground-breaking new football academy in the Tanzanian capital, Dar es Salaam.
The Tanzanian President, His Excellency Dk. Jakaya Mrisho Kikwete, led a delegation on Wearside recently to officially kick off the new project.
"It's a momentous day for the club and the city," Byrne said of the visit, which attracted media attention from around the world.
"To have His Excellency visit us while he is here to talk to world leaders attending the G8 summit is a really big commitment from him and his ministers.
"It is wonderful for us."
Initial plans for the Academy were unveiled at Sunday's event, which was also attended by Sunderland chairman Ellis Short.
The project will bring football facilities to thousands of local youngsters in Dar es Salaam, with an elite-level facility also planned to help Tanzania's ascent on the world footballing stage.
Sunderland will play a key role by providing both building expertise and coaching support.
"The first stage involves us working with Symbion Power to build a community-type academy, allowing many children to come and enjoy playing the game," Byrne explained.
"They will be able to play under floodlights and realise their dream of playing on football pitches.
"The second stage involves us working together and Symbion and possibly other conglomerates to build an elite academy.
"We will assist with the various models we use here at the Academy of Light and also with the knowledge we've gained from the EPPP (Elite Player Performance Plan) project too.
"This is a very proud moment for everyone; to be able to lift all of our knowledge and bring it over to Dar Es Salaam is very special."
The new project is the latest tie-up between Sunderland and the continent of Africa – a relationship Byrne says is bearing fruit.
"Our sponsorship deal with Invest In Africa really catapulted the club onto the continent," she explained.
"Now we have a partnership with Bidvest, a major South African conglomerate, Bidvest Wits Football Club and also Asante Kotoko in Ghana.
"We're taking baby steps. We want to make sure any work we are doing is proper and that we're getting our hands dirty and really getting involved."

- Submission Document: Download
UNOPS Inputs Rio + 20 ?for Compilation Document
UNOPS (the United Nations Office for Project Services) input to the Compilation Document of the United Nations Conference on Sustainable Development (Rio+20) is based on its mandate as a ?central resource for the United Nations system in procurement and contracts management as well as in civil works and physical infrastructure development, including the related capacity development activities.?
Question A of guidance note: ?What are the expectations for the outcome of Rio+20, and what are the concrete proposals in this regard, including views on a possible structure of the Outcome document? ?
The unprecedented surge of popular movements around the world initiated by a lack of confidence in political leadership is at an all-time high. For the Rio+20 summit to be viewed as credible, it has to strike the right chord in diverse communities around the world by demonstrating that leaders are taking responsibility for meaningful change, linking ?greening? with economic recovery, and making investments that are tangible to people.
As the most critical global challenge of the 21st century, climate change threatens man-made infrastructure, and ecosystems. It has already led to severe, even catastrophic effects, especially to the most vulnerable communities in developing countries. It will lead to even more erratic and extreme weather conditions for decades to come, including floods, droughts, sea-level rise and more.
Therefore, the following should be considered as methods to reinforce the three pillars of sustainable development: social, economic, and environmental.
1. Addressing the critical nexus Climate Change ? Infrastructure ? Community Development for the advancement of sustainable development goals is becoming urgent. This should include the implementation of initiatives to climate proof productive and social infrastructure, and increase the resilience for natural disasters all with a focus on community involvement.
The achievement of sustainable development goals will require both structural and non-structural policy/project work related to the climate change ? infrastructure ? community development nexus in various sectors requiring physical infrastructure and procurement, including: urban and rural planning; construction of residential and communal facilities; water supply, sanitation and Health; transport; energy; agriculture...etc.
Sound infrastructural design is essential for the prevention and management of natural disasters induced by climate change including increasing the resilience of communities and local and national assets. Introducing international best practices in disaster prevention during construction could be useful when implementing any construction project.
Enhancing people?s well-being while addressing global environmental issues should be a major concern for the outcome of Rio+20. One of the most successful and proven examples in this context is the Small Grants Programme (SGP) funded by the Global Environment Facility (GEF). This programme, implemented by UNDP, and executed by UNOPS in over 120 countries, in all continents, embodies the very essence of sustainable development with a community approach. Established after the Rio Earth Summit in 1992, it is an experience that Rio+20 should capitalize on, learning lessons from it for scaling and replication.
Public procurement plays an instrumental role in public policy and provides a cornerstone for good governance. There is a need to consider how to make better use of resources through clear and simple procurement policies and practices, setting sustainability objectives and balancing economic, social and environmental outcomes of public procurement practices and decisions. For this reason, ?sustainable procurement? is an increasingly important policy tool in the achievement of sustainable development. Governments and other stakeholders must engage in sustainable procurement to create frameworks for good governance and green economies.
1. There is a need to deal with the increasing evidence on the connection between climate change and conflicts, and the extra burden posed by natural disasters on vulnerable groups including their safety. In addition, addressing Health risks associated with climate change and natural disasters is imperative.
Question C of guidance note: ?What are the views on implementation and on how to close the implementation gap, which relevant actors are envisaged as being involved (Governments, specific Major Groups, UN system, IFIs, etc.);
1. Given the three key themes for Rio+20 on integration, coherence and implementation, noteworthy achievements have been obtained on policy formulation since the Rio summit of 1992, but implementation has been lagging behind in terms of concrete activities on the ground to address the increasing deterioration of living conditions of local communities and ecosystems. Rio+20 must ?translate policies into concrete action and increase the level of implementation?. Rio+20 must give implementation a real boost.
In addition to the necessary political commitment, the main ingredients needed to increase the level of implementation are a) financing and b) implementation capacity. Therefore, Rio+20 should focus on facilitating simple financing mechanisms and capacity building for the design and implementation of policies, and, even more urgently, the design and implementation of projects for action at community level. There must be renewed commitment ? building on Rome, Paris, Accra and Busan ? towards national implementation. This presents an opportunity instead of a challenge, for all stakeholders of the sustainable development process ? namely developing countries and their people as well as private and public sector partners including organizations that can retool as capacity builders and implementation advisors. UNOPS, as part of the goal of ?UN Delivering as One? is ready to contribute to strengthening project implementation capacities of countries for sustainable procurement and sustainable infrastructure development, among other methods.

News item from 2012
The Heritage Lottery Fund Gives Lead Support To The Ashmolean's Campaign To Save Manet's Portrait Of Mademoiselle Claus
The Heritage Lottery Fund (HLF) has announced its lead support of the Ashmolean Museum's campaign to save Edouard Manet's Portrait of Mademoiselle Claus, 1868, for the public with a major grant of £5.9 million. Since launching the campaign in February, the Ashmolean has also been awarded a significant grant from The Art Fund of £750,000, along with £200,000 of gifts from individuals and The Friends of the Ashmolean.
The painting has been sold to a foreign buyer for £28.35 million but, under a private treaty sale, with tax remission it can be purchased by an approved UK public collection at the greatly reduced price of £7.83 million. The Ashmolean has until 7 August 2012, before the export bar ends, to raise the remaining £980,000 to acquire the painting. The portrait is a preparatory study for Le Balcon (1868–9) now in the Musée d'Orsay - one of the key images of the Impressionist movement. Having previously been exhibited only once since it was painted, it is currently on display in the Museum's Impressionist Gallery.
Carole Souter, Chief Executive of the Heritage Lottery Fund, said, "This study of a young woman in repose is extraordinary: luminous, beautiful, a real masterclass in brushstroke technique. The Heritage Lottery Fund is pleased to be playing a significant role in helping the Ashmolean secure Manet's Portrait of Mademoiselle Claus, particularly as it is unlikely that a work of this calibre will become available again at such a competitive price. We hope the Museum succeeds in its campaign to keep the painting in this country and look forward to seeing it used to help more people learn about the Impressionist movement."
Stephen Deuchar, Director of the Art Fund, said, "Manet's Mlle Claus is a beautiful, beguiling and exceptionally important painting: it really must remain in this country and on public view. So we're delighted to be supporting the Ashmolean Museum's public appeal with a major Art Fund grant – indeed one of our largest ever – and would urge other individuals and institutions to follow suit if they possibly can."
Manet was one of the greatest painters of the 19th century and his influence on the art world continues today. John Singer Sargent, who bought Portrait of Mademoiselle Claus at Manet's studio sale in 1884, was described as a disciple of Manet, and without his example, Sargent's portraits would have been very different. From the 1880s until World War I, most progressive portrait painters were strongly influenced by Manet's work: Wilson Steer, Walter Sickert, Henry Tonks, Sir John Lavery, Sir William Orpen. Roger Fry's exhibition of 'Manet and the Post-Impressionists' (1911) firmly established Manet's reputation as the painter of modern life. Fry emphasised the purely pictorial qualities of Manet's art, but the social and psychological aspects were equally important to later artists such as Stanley Spencer and Lucian Freud.
Artist, Jenny Saville, said, "Manet is one of those Greats, like Leonardo, Rubens, Picasso, and latterly Freud, whose work is a reference point to which you continually refer or have in the back of your mind, when painting. For me, it is his ability to capture the spirit behind the face and his radiant use of paint, as mostly demonstrated with the colour white, that has had such an effect on my figurative work."
The Ashmolean is the country's most visited museum outside London, with over 1 million people visiting per year. If acquired by the Museum, Portrait of Mademoiselle Claus will be the focus of a broad range of public events and activities, as well as a special touring exhibition to museums across the UK, attracting a greater and more diverse audience to see the painting and to learn more about its wider cultural and historical significance.
Dr Christopher Brown CBE, Director of the Ashmolean, said, "We are extremely grateful to the HLF for their lead support and to The Art Fund and individual donors for their generosity. We are delighted with the remarkable amount of public support, which the campaign has received so far. Since it has been on display, we have organised a series of workshops with schools, curator-led talks and lectures, which have been most popular with all age groups. This has helped us to develop a number of exciting plans for the future that include touring the painting and placing it at the heart of our learning programme. If you have not already seen it I urge you to do so. This is a unique opportunity for a British museum to acquire this important work. If we are successful, it will transform the Ashmolean's holdings of Impressionist and Post-Impressionist art, making Oxford one of the leading centres for the study of 19th-century French painting, for students, scholars and the wider public."
Culture Minister, Ed Vaizey, said: "The Ashmolean is now tantalisingly close to being able to acquire this exceptional painting thanks to the generosity of the many people who have contributed directly, or through the Heritage Lottery Fund and The Art Fund. The Museum has also been able to take advantage of tax breaks that will help them buy the painting at a greatly reduced price. I would like to offer my wholehearted support for the public appeal; if anyone is in a position to contribute, they will be helping to enrich the lives of visitors to the Ashmolean for countless generations to come."
Heritage Lottery Fund (HLF)
Using money raised through the National Lottery, the Heritage Lottery Fund (HLF) sustains and transforms a wide range of heritage for present and future generations to take part in, learn from and enjoy. From museums, parks and historic places to archaeology, natural environment and cultural traditions, we invest in every part of our diverse heritage. HLF has supported more than 30,000 projects allocating £4.9billion across the UK.
The Art Fund
The Art Fund is the national charity which helps museums and galleries to buy, show and share art for the enjoyment of all. Over the past five years, the Art Fund has given over £24 million towards art of all kinds, from Old Masters to new media, and supported a range of programmes which share and show art to wider audiences, including the national tour of ARTIST ROOMS, the Art Fund Prize for Museums and Galleries, and Art Guide, a pioneering smartphone app offering the most comprehensive guide to seeing art in the UK. The Art Fund is independently funded and the majority of its income comes from 90,000 supporters who purchase a National Art Pass, costing from £50, which gives free entry to over 200 museums, galleries and historic houses across the country as well as 50% off many major exhibitions.

Edouard Manet (1832-1883)
Portrait of Mademoiselle Claus
Oil on canvas, 111 x 70 cm
Provenance: Manet's studio sale, 4-5 February 1884, lot 19, bought by John Singer Sargent; and by descent in the family of his sister
Exhibited: Manet at Work, National Gallery, London, 1983, no. 11
The portrait is a preparatory study for Le Balcon (1868–9) now in the Musée d'Orsay - one of the key images of the Impressionist movement. Initially inspired by the sight of people on a balcony, during a summer spent in Boulogne-sur-Mer with his family in 1868, Le Balcon famously draws on Goya's Majas on a Balcony painted around 1810. It is also an important example of Manet's work from the late 1860s onwards when he began to focus his attention on his family and close friends. The portrait's subject is Fanny Claus (1846–77), the closest friend of Manet's wife Suzanne Leenhoff. A concert violinist and member of the first all-women string quartet, Fanny was one of Manet's favourite sitters and a member of a close-knit group of friends who also provided the artist with models. She married the artist Pierre Prins (1838–1913), another friend of Manet's, in 1869, but died of tuberculosis just eight years later at the age of 30.

The Export Bar
On the 8 December 2011the Culture Minister Ed Vaizey placed an export bar on Portrait of Mademoiselle Claus. The ruling follows the recommendation of the Reviewing Committee on the Export of Works of Art and Objects of Cultural Interest, administered by Arts Council England. The Committee has recommended that the export decision be deferred on the grounds that the portrait was of outstanding aesthetic importance and of outstanding significance for the study of French painting of the second half of the nineteenth century and in particular the work of Manet, one of the leading Impressionist painters of the period. For more information visit http://www.culture.gov.uk/news/news_stories/8685.aspx
Private Treaty Sales
Items which have been granted conditional exemption from capital taxation (Inheritance Tax ("IHT"), Estate Duty (ED) or Capital Gains Tax ("CGT") can be purchased by private treaty by a body listed in Schedule 3 of the Inheritance Tax Act 1984: (which includes most public museums, galleries and archives in the United Kingdom) at a price which is beneficial to the public purchaser. For more information visit: http://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/1984/51. Such a sale will not give rise to a charge to IHT, ED or CGT. In this case, as the principle is that the owner should not be financially disadvantaged by the Export Control procedures, all of the benefit will apply to the Schedule 3 purchaser. HM Revenue & Customs will forgo all of the tax that would be payable if the painting is sold abroad.
Modern Art Oxford will present a major exhibition by Jenny Saville, 23 June - 16 September 2012, the first solo exhibition of her work in a UK public gallery.
European art at the Ashmolean
The Ashmolean's collections include European paintings, sculpture and applied arts, and one of the finest collections of drawings and prints in the world. Highlights include well-known masterpieces such as Paolo Uccello's Hunt in the Forest and Claude Lorrain's Ascanius shooting the Stag of Sylvia are on view in the galleries. There are important displays of Renaissance Italian art, Flemish and Dutch 17th-century paintings (including the Daisy Linda Ward Collection of still-life paintings), the Pre-Raphaelites (mainly from the Combe Bequest of 1895) and the work of Camille Pissarro and his family (thanks to several gifts from the Pissarro family). The Ashmolean holds the following works by Manet: two beautiful unfinished oils, A Garden Urn and A Basket of Pears, both formerly owned by the German Impressionist, Max Liebermann; as well as an early landscape, a watercolour of one of Manet's most famous compositions, Le Déjeuner sur l'herbe, and a number of other drawings.

Sirius XM radio host Frank DeCaro longs for the days of Christmas movies and specials past. "There was an inherent glamour back then, combined with a homespun quality," he says of the images he watched in the '60s and '70s. "Dinner was wonderful, snow fell at the right moment, then someone broke out in song. Those stars knew what they were doing."
DeCaro's new book, Christmas in Tinseltown: Celebrity Recipes and Hollywood Memories from Six Feet Under the Mistletoe, combines inside glimpses of seasonal classics like White Christmas (starring Bing Crosby, left) with instructions for making such holiday hits as Judy Garland's Ham Casserole with Sherry.
Did Judy really tie on a reindeer apron? "I hope the recipes are genuine," DeCaro says of the collection he compiled from vintage cookbooks, magazines and supermarket flyers. "I like to believe the stars cooked them—or had someone prepare them."

Terrain Board, Helicopter
A terrain board is a detailed scale model of a piece of terrain, which is used in flight simulators to train pilots. A television camera, with a long depth-of-field and coupled to the motions of the simulator, "flies" along the board in response to the pilot's actions. The television image is displayed in the simulator cockpit, giving the trainee a view of what he or she would see if flying an actual craft.
This board, manufactured by the Singer-Link Aviation Company, was used to train helicopter pilots, and was intricately detailed to provide a realistic view at low simulated altitudes. With the advent of digital computers with high-resolution graphics displays, these boards became obsolete.
Donated by the Singer-Link Aviation Company to the Museum in 1986.

Bruce Young
Position: Assistant Football Coach - Running Backs
Phone: 785.594.8474
Bruce Young brings over 40 years of football coaching experience to the Baker University staff. The central Iowa native and four-year football lettermen at Northwest Missouri State University, Young spent 28 years as a head high school coach in Missouri. Voted as a member of the Missouri High School Coaches Hall of Fame in 1999, Young amassed nearly 200 wins in his long term high school career.
At Norborne, his team of 20 players advanced to the semi-final game. At Young's next stop with Marceline High School, they played in the first ever "Show Me Bowl" games played in St. Louis' Busch stadium, where all 6 classes of teams came together for the state championships. Young helped build the foundation for one of the most tradition rich high school programs in the KC Metro area at Ray-Pec. While coaching there in the 1980's and 90's, the Panthers sent over a dozen football players to play for the Baker Wildcats.
Retiring from high school in 2000, Young came to Baker University for his first stop with the Wildcats. While at BU they played in 2 bowl games, with Young coaching the running backs and special teams.
Leaving in 2004, Coach Young headed to Avila University where he was the head coach for five years. During his tenure with the Eagles, team grade point averages improved, they had 6 Academic All-Americans, and boosted a 90% graduation rate. In his final season, Avila posted one of their best records ever, plus winning their first bowl game in the schools history, the First Down Classic win over Doane College.
After stepping down from Avila in 2009, Coach Grossner recruited Young back to Baker, returning to coach the running backs and help in the special teams area. Since returning, Young has helped in the development of some of the Wildcats best young prospects in the backfield. Long known for his "old school" coaching style, using hard work, fundamentals and playing with great intensity, Young has quickly gained the respect of Wildcat players. Assisting with recruiting efforts, Young has expanded Baker's reach into the state of Missouri.
Coach Young and his wife, Dwyla have three grown daughters, Julie, Lindy and Kara.

Second Half Marist Rally Enough to Hand Women's Basketball 56-45 Loss
A second half Marist rally was too much to overcome for the Princeton women's basketball team, as the Tigers fell 56-45 to the Red Foxes in Poughkeepsie, N.Y. Saturday evening. With the loss, Princeton falls to 1-1 on the young season, while Marist improves to 2-1.
The Tigers will look to get back into the win column at home versus Rider on Tuesday, Nov. 20 at 7 p.m., before jetting out to the West Coast for a pair of contests. Princeton opens its post-Thanksgiving weekend with a Friday, Nov. 23 game at UC Riverside at 10 p.m. ET, before wrapping up the weekend two days later with UCLA in a 4 p.m. ET meeting with the Bruins.
Princeton jumped out to the initial advantage, taking an 11-4 lead off a Megan Bowen jumper at 15:45. Despite their immediate offensive run, the Tigers were unable to preserve their double figure advantage for long.
Marist began to claw its way back into the game heading inside the 10-minute mark. The Red Foxes' persistence paid off, as the home side managed to come from behind and take a one-point lead, 16-15, at 5:44 off an Elizabeth Beynnon jumper.
Before the conclusion of the first half, Princeton went on an 8-4 run to hold a 23-20 differential heading into halftime.
Following intermission, Princeton preserved its lead until the 10:12-minute mark, when Marist's Leanne Ockenden put in a layin to lift the Red Foxes to a 35-34 advantage.
From that point forward the Tigers were forced to play catch up, unable to find a final surge to retake the lead for the fourth time in the game. Marist outscored Princeton 36-22 in the second half to hand the Tigers their first loss of the year.
Bowen led the offense with 12 points going 6-for-9 from the field, while Niveen Rasheed was the team's rebounding leader with 10. Rasheed and Mariah Smith each had seven points apiece, with Smith going 5-for-6 from the stripe.
In the game, Marist shot 37.8 percent (17-for-45) to Princeton's 26.2 percent (16-for-61) from the field. The Tigers did outrebound the Red Foxes 45-27, but committed 21 turnovers to Marist's 16.

Rated 5 out of 5 by 2 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Jeepjunky Dimensions----Lucky57 On most of the wall art and wall tapestry they give the dimensions at the bottom of the page. This one happens to be 38" by 53". Not big for a wall tapestry over the ones that I have seen which were 4' x 6" and up to 6' x 8'. The larger ones I have seen usually resemble Persian rugs or are of European design that resembles the customary symbols of the country of origin...i.e. Denmark or Holland...Windmills, France....Eiffel Tower, India...Taj Mahal or Shiva, etc. December 15, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by ArleneC Even more majestic in person I had my eye on is tapestry for 2 years, and finally grabbed it when there was a one-day only sale on wall art. It was worth the wait, and my expectations have been exceeded! Excellent quality construction, easy to hang, stunningly beautiful to look at. And my favorite part, made in the U.S.A.!!!!!

The American Football Coaches Association (AFCA) will make available National Child Identification kits at Saturday night's Arizona-UTEP football game.
Through this program, the AFCA provides free child identification fingerprinting kits to families across the country. The inkless kit allows parents to take and store their child's fingerprints in their own home. If the identification card is ever needed, it will be able to give authorities vital information to assist them in their efforts to locate a missing child.
The kits will be handed out following the conclusion of the game at each of Arizona Stadium's exits.

Allen Lim on Personal Identity
Submitted by Kris Thompson on
Allen Lim of Boulder shares with us the journey he took on as he started a new business selling his break through product The Secret Mix. For those not familiar with the name, Allen is a master mind training coach and has worked with many of the great American cyclists over recent years that is until he attempted to start a new business. As someone who too is trying to create a small businesses I can relate to Kim's story a lot. This isn't really a story about cycling but more about how sometimes we use our passions like cycling to discover and rediscover who we really are. Enjoy!

The Mount Rogers Health District is reminding the public that rabies is an ever-present threat and that everyone should be careful to protect the community by getting rabies vaccinations for their pets.
So far this year, 15 animals have tested positive for rabies in the district: one raccoon in Galax; three raccoons, one red fox, one gray fox, and one skunk in Carroll County; one raccoon in Bland County; one cow in Washington County; one cat and one bat in Wythe County; and two raccoons, one gray fox, and one skunk in Smyth County.
Backpack Buddies will, for the second year, begin serving children at Galax Elementary, Galax Middle and Galax High on Sept. 3.
Last year, Backpack Buddies, a program designed to feed children over the weekend that may go hungry, served 172 Galax children throughout the school year.
Backpack Buddies is a new, national, community-based program with about 150 organizations in the country that help provide nutritious, non-perishable meals and healthy snacks to children in need.
HILLSVILLE — Twin County Humane Society will hold this year's dog walk from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Sept. 18 at The Carroll Wellness Center in Hillsville.
"Walk for the Animals" will be held rain or shine to raise money for spay/neuter assistance and other animal welfare programs.
Walkers must raise $25 to participate. Those who raise a minimum $50 and pre-register by Aug. 30 will receive a free event t-shirt.
A wide variety of classes are available this fall through Chestnut Creek School of the Arts in Galax.
Class sizes are limited. Deposit required to hold spot.
Some classes are suitable for teens and children.
Some of the class themes are: beginner lap dulcimer, guitar, flatpicking, intermediate fiddle, hammer dulcimer, writing basics for novel/memoir, acrylics, pastel painting, drawing for kids, watercolors, digital photography, drawing, painting of oil portraits and figures in Classic style, youth printmaking, youth watercolor.
The Jeff Matthews Museum in Galax is collecting Galax High School yearbooks, and local historian John Nunn is hoping alumni will bring some forward to add to that collection.
So far, the museum has collected four yearbooks — years 1947 through 1950 — that were found at a local antique shop. Nunn's sister purchased the yearbooks with the thought of starting a collection at the Jeff Matthews Museum.
The 6th Annual Carroll County Fair begins Wednesday at the Southwest Virginia Farmers' Market, at the intersection of U.S. 58 and Interstate 77. Gate admission is $5 for adults, $3 for children ages 7-12 and free for children ages 6 and younger.

• Melco Amusements

HILLSVILLE –– It is, for all intents and purposes, a scrimmage. A final chance to see what still could use some work before the real games start – things like ball security inside the red zone, and prevent pass coverage in the final minute.
And it was a good thing that kinks in those aspects of the game haven't been completely ironed out. Otherwise a huge crowd would have been robbed of a thrilling finish in Carroll County's 21-19 benefit game win Friday over Galax at Tommy Thompson Field.
In the past three months that the Galax Visitors' Center has been opened, it has served 2,500 tourists from across the nation and around the world, center director Ray Kohl told Galax City Council last Monday.
Visitors to Galax have came from England, France, Canada, Australia, Austria, New Zealand, the Netherlands, Spain, Switzerland, Germany, Mexico, Ireland, Scotland, Brazil and Cuba and Puerto Rico.
HILLSVILLE — Because the U.S. 58 bypass project south of Hillsville plowed under and paved over wetlands, the Virginia Department of Transportation must replace those habitats.
The requirement set down by the Clean Water Act means that VDOT officials had to seek out places to mitigate the five-mile bypass project's environmental impact.
Grayson Highlands School opened Aug. 16, but it was without a playground or ball field — and that worries at least one parent and some school board members.
Grayson County School Board Vice Chairman Shannon Holdaway said during a meeting Aug. 9 that the school system needs to grade and level land at the school for a ball field.

Gardening Articles: Flowers :: Perennials
Drying Flowers for Everlasting Beauty (page 5 of 5)
by Braddock Bull
How to Store Dried Flowers
Once dried, store your flowers in a covered wicker box or similar container that allows air circulation. Never use plastic. Cardboard boxes are suitable, but cut several holes in the sides and top. Fragile, shatter-prone flowers such as larkspur, hydrangea, or sweet Annie can be made more durable by using a spray-on fixer. The fixers don't dry the flowers. However, they coat and strengthen brittle stems and blooms, and dried flower arrangers recommend them. Several brands are available at craft stores; however, ordinary hair spray reportedly works equally well.
After the spray treatment, wrap each bunch loosely in tissue paper or newspaper, and lay it flat in the container. Put heavy flowers on the bottom, and don't pack the box too tightly. Keep your storage boxes in the same cool, dry areas you used for drying.
Warning! Drying flowers can be addictive! Before long, wreaths will adorn all your doors, and swags will hang from every wall. And they'll all have come from your own garden. Talk about an extended season!
Braddock Bull is a writer and gardener who lives in Richmond, Vermont.

Letter contains errors
Published: Saturday, September 7, 2013 at 12:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Friday, September 6, 2013 at 9:28 a.m.
Editor: I just read a letter by Boyd W. Thomas ("Sue to stop Obamacare") and wanted to offer my congratulations on his attempt at fiction. I admire when a writer uses imagination to entertain readers but believe it does not belong in the letters to the editor section. I realized that the only accurate part in the opening of Mr. Thomas' letter was with the salutation, "editor." What follows are the inaccuracies contained in the first paragraph.
"Many people worry about Obamacare." FACT: Although Mr. Thomas has serious worries about Obamacare, a recent poll by the Morning Consult group shows that only 6 percent of all registered voters (and only 7 percent of Republican voters) are in favor of defunding or delaying this program.
"Obamacare has gone from a 2,500-page into over a 12,000-page law, but nobody shows the will to fight against it." FACT AND FACT: The law, as enacted, is 906-pages long. Certain politicians came up with ridiculously inflated figures by combining related web search documents into a false grand total. As far as Mr. Thomas' statement that nobody shows the will to fight against Obamacare, that is exactly what he is doing (along with the 40 failed attempts by Congress to "fight against it").
"The Supreme Court said it overturned California's same-sex marriage because more people fought to show they wanted same-sex marriage, and nobody showed they supported the ban." FACT: The Supreme Court of the United States actually declined to hear the case (June) regarding California's same-sex marriage ban law (aka Proposition 8) State Court ruling, citing the supporters of this ban did not have standing.
"The ACLU and NAACP are filing lawsuits in the Supreme Court daily." FACT: The majority of cases that the Supreme Court of the United States accepts are brought by filing a petition to be heard regarding a decision already handed down by a lower court. Although the two organizations Mr. Thomas named have litigious histories to enforce constitutional civil rights, they (nor anyone else) files lawsuits "in the Supreme Court daily."
I would point out other inaccuracies throughout his letter but space does not allow. I strongly suggest that if Mr. Thomas wants to dabble in fiction, he identify his writing as such. If he wants to be taken seriously and hold an ounce of credibility when submitting letters to the editor, he should begin by educating himself about the material.
Misinformation performs a disservice to our community. Personally, I would be upset if I sided with an issue only to find my opinion was formed by what might have been invalid information. We, as readers, must question everything so our opinions are based on fact. We must use Internet searches to check facts from reputable sources. If you don't have access to Internet and/or do not know how to use it, your local library (and librarian) will be happy to help.
