Is there a particular neighborhood or district in around Teheran that a Westen expat with no Farsi language skills may be better suited initially (family likely included)? And if these neighborhoods are predominately populated by Westerner expats is it then too difficult to meet locals?

Many problems boil down to separating signal from noise, though what is "signal" and what is "noise" depends on context. One person's signal is another person's noise.
Noise might be something like random static, but it could also simply be something you're not interested in at the time. Maybe you'd like to pick out the bass line from a recording, and in that moment you'd consider the piano to be noise. No offense to the person on piano.
Or maybe you're trying to determine the impact of an advertising campaign on sales. Your sales may go up and down for many reasons, but you're trying to tease out the effect of one particular factor when there are other, maybe larger, factors in play. When two things go up and down together, time series analysis may be able to infer whether one causes the other or whether both depend on something else.
Maybe the noise itself is what you're interested in because you want to control it. You might want to reduce it, or if that's not possible, you might want to shift some of its spectrum to where it is less noticeable. Or rather than filter out noise, you might want to add noise into a system that doesn't have enough noise because, counter-intuitively, noise can sometimes make a system more reliable.
I can help you separate your signal from your noise by using powerful tools from digital signal processing and time series analysis. You can read more about my background here.

If you had plans to travel West to Alberta via the Trans-Canada Highway, you'll have to add an hours-long detour through the United States to get to your destination.
The Nipigon River Bridge on Highway 11/17 has experienced what experts are calling a mechanical failure.
Trans Canada Hwy 17 closed indefinitely at Nipigon Bridge. NO detour. pic.twitter.com/jtY1LIFQBu— chris cartwright (@CCartwright1971) January 10, 2016
On Sunday, the west side of the bridge actually pulled away from the abutment/section joining it to the river bank, and it now sits 60 centimetres higher.
Dorion, Ontario resident tells media that she witnessed the gust of wind that drifted underneath the bridge and lifted it up.
The Ontario municipality of Greenstone has declared a state of emergency.
Ontario's Ministry of Transportation and Nipigon Mayor Richard Harvey indicate that the bridge will be closed for at least a few days, meaning that the only real route between Canada's two halves has been severed.
The bridge is still undergoing a $106-million rebuild, and was originally slated to be completed in 2017.
For a few hours after the accident, police were detouring traffic – through the United States! That will pose a problem for Canadian drivers with some past criminal experiences on their personal record.
UPDATE: Officials have reopened one lane across the bridge Monday. An expansion joint failed thanks to extreme cold.

Los Explosivos
(Slovenly Recordings)
US: 12 Aug 2008
UK: 12 Aug 2008
If you've ever wanted to know what the Sonics would have sounded like had they come from Mexico City rather than Tacoma, Los Explosivos are the band for you. Seemingly conceived in a backyard lab to be the ultimate support act the next time the Hives rock South America, Los Explosivos make filthy, unreconstructed proto-punk noises and squelches. Lest anyone be unsure where the band comes from, the quartet bites down on a cover of "Louie, Louie" in Spanish and kicks the tempo up a notch. The band's own songs rock just as hard, specifically the thrilling opener "Se Apago", which sets the tone and does not let up. There are no ballads, just fuzzy blasts full of well timed "aw yeahs" punctuating the record like station identifications. If that's not doing it for you, three members of the band sport unruly afros and the other is a singing drummer. Esta chevre!

Joe Biden: 'Black Helicopter™ crowd is really upset'
**Written by Doug Powers
At first you might think Shotgun Joe is referring to reaction about his "new world order" comments the other day. However, this one instead features Biden either projecting or mocking, maybe a little of both ("projocking"?), about people who have the audacity to be concerned about their Second Amendment rights:
"Kinda scary man, the black helicopter crowd is really upset," Biden said, criticizing the National Rifle Association for promoting a "misinformation campaign" on background checks.
Biden insisted that there would be no central registry for background checks allowing government to keep records on gun owners.
"No way that Uncle Sam can go find out whether you own a gun because we're about to really take away all your rights and you're not going to be able to defend yourself and we're going to swoop down with Special Forces folks and gather up every gun in America," Biden added mockingly. "It's bizarre. But that's what's being sold out there."
Biden's ridiculing the opposition (rule #5 for those keeping score at home) because obviously only a small fringe of kook wackos disagree with the administration's position on this issue:

text: Cocktail | A Reason To Chill 2013 | Karachi Posted by FCPK Editor on Nov 02, 2013 Summers are just round the corner and the unforgiving sun is already shining brighter than before which means the heat waves will be our next obstacle. A season when people tend to relax and look out for the best hangout spots to calm their nerves and have a chilly drink or two. Luckily for all of us the search is over as a new café/restaurant spot has risen up after much hard work and devotion by the name of Cocktail café/restaurant at main Khayaban-e-Nishat, Phase 6, DHA.A new name with a different meaning, the Cocktail café/restaurant opened its doors with a red carpet event welcoming everyone to its launch ceremony on the 22nd of March. The café and the fine-dine restaurant are placed side by side and yearns to cater all kind of food lovers. The separate spot for the café and the fine-dine makes it easier for the people to choose between the two according to their moods. Capacity of people in the café is about 20 and for the fine-dine around 50. The ambience of the café is merely lively and subtle, with comfortable U-shaped sofas, couches and nice tables to go with. It bears a funky vibe, nonetheless, but does contain the requisites of a proper café we desire to hangout at. On the other hand, the fine-dine restaurant looks more like a family oriented zone where the ambience and the color scheme does match with the café i.e., orange and green but in a very dim way.The quietness and the smell of tasty food being served at this fine-dine is still new and wonderful, while the noisy gags and laughter is enjoyed at the café right next to it. Projectors and L.C.D's are also present at both the spots as a source of entertainment for the guests. The cuisines served at the fine-dine is Barbeque, Lebanese, Continental, Mexican and Italian. The management has deeply focused on the quality and the quantity of the food as it stands out in terms of taste, satisfaction and gratification.Amongst the servings were strawberry, lime and orange lemonade along with canapés with salsa sauce, mini burgers, bread with cheese canapés, pineapple and olives. Only a handful of people joined the launch event of cocktail, mostly close relatives but it was conducted smoothly and with ease.The cocktail is certainly newly born, but it has the potential and the motivation to go forth with its increasing number of customers and brilliant feedback regarding the entire setup of this halcyon joint. And what's more, the students and facebook members will be granted special discounts for their hospitality and commitment towards this café- cum- restaurant as well.We wish all the best for their future endeavors. Following are the quotations of the management of Cocktail:-Mr. Sajid (Left) (General Manager). "I am very pleased to finally make this dream project into a reality and much obliged with everything we have achieved so far"Mr. Osama (2nd from Left) (Architect of Cocktail). "This has been educational for me in a way that I never had a chance to actually design the layout of a restaurant before. I am satisfied and happy the way it has come out"Mr. Farooq (Managing partner). "Cocktail is by far the best project I have been a part of and I welcome and greet everyone to step in our café/restaurant and experience something great and wonderful".

Has this happened to anyone? What did you do?
Has this happened to anyone? What did you do?
Bank valuations are more conservative, and generally don't reflect "market value".
It hasn't happened to me, but when I did a lot of conveyancing, I did see sellers reduce their price to meet a shortfall in buyer's finance.
I would get some independent advice as to value if I was you, ie. could you find another buyer who will not have this problem with their bank or is the sale price a bit too high. Your own agent will have a vested interest to push the current sale through, as they get their commission quicker that way.
In Queensland, you can get a registered value to give you a written value for (from memory) around $500, depending on location. I imagine it's much the same in other states.
It's very common in NSW - especially at auction. Banks are far more conservative when valuing properties. It's more of a problem when you are borrowing above 80% of the purchase price.
It happens to us all the time, you can definitely ask the bank to re-value ( especially if they didn't see inside) how much was the difference? Just ask your agent to get comparable settled sales to give them, $11k is nothing!!! I've had valuers go up another $50k no problem , definitely talk to the bank!
Also ask to see the copy of the valuation ( it could be buyers being sneaky!) I've had vals come in $10-15 k short before and you just ask the buyers to pay the difference

The use of solid wastes as a way to produce energy and chemicals is one of the frontiers in chemistry. One of these methods is the biomass gasification. In this thermal treatment the biomass is heated in a partially oxidising environment using different process conditions. The variability of both biomass composition and process conditions can lead the thermal treatment to several different results. In order to find a methodology for the classification of all the involved data a dataset containing biomass characterization, gasification process conditions and obtained syngas properties have been gathered from the literature. This dataset has been analysed through multivariate analysis. Principal component analysis (PCA) and a partial least square analysis (PLS) have been performed. Several correlations among different biomass and their gasification products have been found among input parameters, such as biomass properties and process conditions, and output variables like products composition and properties. © 2011 The Institution of Chemical Engineers.

The vaporization of sulfur containing samples in graphite vaporizers for atomic absorption spectrometry is accompanied by modification of sulfur by carbon and, respectively, appearance at high temperature of structured molecular absorption in 200-210 nm wavelength range. It has been proposed to employ the spectrum for direct determination of sulfur in coal; soundness of the suggestion is evaluated by analysis of coal slurry using low resolution CCD spectrometer with continuum light source coupled to platform or filter furnace vaporizers. For coal in platform furnace losses of the analyte at low temperature and strong spectral background from the coal matrix hinder the determination. Both negative effects are significantly reduced in filter furnace, in which sample vapor efficiently interacts with carbon when transferred through the heated graphite filter. The method is verified by analysis of coals with sulfur content within 0.13-1.5% (m/m) range. The use of coal certified reference material for sulfur analyte addition to coal slurry permitted determination with random error 5-12%. Absolute and relative detection limits for sulfur in coal are 0.16 μg and 0.02 mass%, respectively. © 2010 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved. Source
Effects of 30% v/v biodiesel/diesel fuel blend on regulated and unregulated pollutant emissions from diesel engines

Two Euro 3 commercial trucks fuelled with a 30% v/v biodiesel/diesel fuel blend (B30) and pure diesel fuel were tested in laboratory under the standard driving conditions (UDC and EUDC driving cycles) and the CADC " URBAN" test cycle, in order to evaluate the fuel consumption, regulated (CO, HC, NO. x, PM) and unregulated emissions (aldehydes and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons).After substitution of diesel fuel with B30 the following results were observed.The fuel economy increased proportionally to the deficit of the fuel heating value; so the average efficiency of the engine can be considered almost unchanged.In partial disagreement with the literature data, CO and HC emissions showed a slight increase, whereas NO. x emissions did not vary. It must be noted that these variations did not pass the statistical significance test.On the contrary, PM, soot fraction and particle number showed a significant reduction; furthermore, nearly 90% of the emitted particles had an aerodynamic diameter less than 0.1 μm.The formaldehyde emission markedly increased for both vehicles, whereas acetaldehyde emissions showed ambiguous trends. Since the remaining aldehydes were under the instrumental detection limit, the ozone formation potential analysis with B30 showed a raise almost proportional to the formaldehyde emission increase.Moreover the lightest and most abundant PAHs species (3-4 benzene rings) showed high increases even if to different extent for the two vehicles. The species with 4-5 rings (such as benzo(a)pyrene) showed a net reduction, often under the instrumental limit. Finally, the carcinogenic risk evaluation of PAHs exhibited a clear toxicity reduction, specially in the cold start cycle, when the catalytic converter's efficiency was not fully reached. © 2011 Elsevier Ltd.

The policies of curbing CO2 emissions have worked poorly on a global scale and an economically sound proposal of bringing electric power to Europe from an Algerian solar hub has just been dismissed. With reference to the Algerian - European relationships, we analyze the broad context where an environmental policy benefitting both developing and developed countries can be put in place. We then discuss the connection between anthropogenic CO2 emissions and acidification of Oceans along with a geo-engineering proposal aimed at solving these pressing problems with large-scale solar-powered chloralkali plants. While the cost of sequestering a ton of CO2 with dedicated chloralkali plants is unacceptably high, it is economically and environmentally sound to replace an existing European Cl2 plant (consuming fossils) with a solar-powered plant in Algeria. If the Algerian plant uses a new, more efficient chloralkali process, it will be competitive with existing European plants even at the current low market value of the carbon emission credits. We finally explore the possibility of coupling Cl2 production with CO2 reuse and syngas production through a novel electrochemical process. © 2014 Elsevier Ltd. Source

Journal of Hazardous Materials | Year: 2011
Fast and exothermic discontinuous emulsion polymerization processes are particularly difficult to optimize from both safety and productivity point of view because of the occurrence of side undesired reactions (e.g. chain transfer to monomer, backbiting, propagation of tertiary radicals, termination by disproportion, etc.) and the hazards of boiling phenomena and stable foam formation under atmospheric pressure. Moreover, the relevant number of loading, heating and cooling steps, required before starting the monomer addition (that is, the desired reaction), makes a strict product quality reproducibility very difficult to obtain. Under these operating conditions, it is necessary to employ a suitable combined theoretical and experimental procedure able to detect the optimum process dosing time at both the laboratory and the industrial scale. In this work, it is shown how to use the topological criterion theory together with proper adiabatic calorimeter and RC1 experimental data to safely optimize the synthesis of polyvinyl acetate through the radical emulsion polymerization of vinyl acetate by the means of an indirectly cooled isoperibolic semibatch reactor. © 2011 Elsevier B.V.

Buoyant and Rambling
Franks & Deans • punk rock, rock 'n' roll • Shrewd • Punctured Muffler • Silent Crush • metal
By August March
At some point during the progression of meta-ultra-postmodernism, it was only natural that a band covering Rat Pack tunes revisioned as rambling ska paeans or blisteringly buoyant punk anthems based on the imbibing and love-making habits of dudes like Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin would rise from the rocanrol cauldron. Well it's 2017 and such has indeed come to pass. The name of the band is Franks & Deans. They've succeeded by inflecting the sweepingly romantic, sometimes melancholy and nearly always self-referential ditties of these post-war, pre-rock vocal heroes with good-natured rhythms and danceable guitar leads—as well as an updated fashion sense that seems to borrow more from ZZ Top's summer style guide than from Robin and the 7 Hoods—that adds affable nuance to legendary, mid-century American popular music. Band members Rob DeTie, Mike "Pip" Ullemeyer, Hoss and Sampson await your indulgence at Low Spirits on Thursday, Feb. 23, and the admission price of $5 sure as heck beats dropping "Three Coins in the Fountain."

It stems from pastoralism, which holds urbanism and development to be breeding grounds for corruption, crime, and needless complexity while less developed areas are thought to be paradises of purity, rejuvenation, and beautiful simplicity. And it also stems from the conservative attitude of wanting to be "left alone" from the onslaught of modern evils.
Besides the fact that none of this is substantiated, it's neither realistic nor fair to blame NIMBYism on individualism and conservativism, when I see so much of it in liberal, collectivist communities. I think that this article could be shortened by maybe one-third without losing useful, encyclopedic content. Unless anyone objects, I'll have a go at it. Thanks much.

- I've taken a stab at editing the article to remove the POV and mind-reading tricks, provide non-straw-man arguments for and against NIMBYism, and substantiate some of the points raised, as well as to clean up the style a bit. Doctor Whom 19:04, 10 September 2005 (UTC)

I think this page really needs a list of cities and towns with a particularly strong reputation for NIMBY behavor.
I realize that there is a pejorative negativity about NIMBY's, however it is important to note that not all NIMBY's are obstructionists to a future that works, and sometimes they represent the common good. I think that this is an important part of this discussion. For instance, it is often factual that low income communities bear an inequitable burden regarding industrial development, pollution, and a wide variety of community character issues decisions that are, shall we say, driven by developers. Often the developers promoting the inappropriate activities are somewhat empowered, politically, and economically, and have easier access to media.
NIMBY's in these cases can and do become community hero's and should be recognized as such.
Jay Burney
A follow on point: it is one of the paradoxes of urban sustainability that individuals who live in the densest cities produce less pollution, and consume less energy, than their brethren who live in sparser settlments, however they breath more polluted air and have to make do with a poorer quality of environment. NIMBYism tends to be about protecting the individual's quality of life against the processes which would reduce the whole population's impact on the planet.

The photograph of an airport is NOT a good example of NIMBY. New airports are rare, and most airport vs. neighbor problems are due to encrouching development around a pre-existing airport. Maybe a better photograph would be of a prison, power plant, or a waste-water treatment facility? Charles Oppermann 05:23, 30 October 2007 (UTC)
I suggest that considering the term NIMBY as pejorative (an inherently subjective term) violates NPOV. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Pkilmart (talk • contribs) 05:10, 6 February 2009 (UTC)
I'm quite surprised that the original article didn't mention the NIMBY issues surrounding essential infrastructure such as power plants. The first time I heard if NIMBY was in relation to power plants, as part of the reading for my Cambridge A-level Physics and I've tried to add some of the issues surrounding infrastructure although perhaps I haven't done that good a job. Nil Einne 14:01, 4 January 2006 (UTC)
I've read this article several times now, and apart from the first sentence it seems to completely miss the main point. NIMBY's don't oppose a development per say, they often agree it's needed somwhere, "but not in my back yard". Most of the article seems to miss this, portraying NIMBYs that oppose all development, which is not correct. NIMBY's aren't those that say "no". NIMBY's are those that say "yes, but not here" MartinRe 00:18, 10 January 2006 (UTC)
You're describing a "BANANA" -- Build Absolutely Nothing Anywhere Near Anything. 18.104.22.168 05:49, 9 November 2006 (UTC)
Origin of the phrase[edit]
I am surprised that nobody has mentioned where this phrase originated from. It was first used by a planning minister in Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher's government in Britain. It must have been in the Eighties, or perhaps the late seventies. He refused planning permission for a development near his home in the countryside, and used the phrase "Not in my back yard". Dont remember what his name was, or if he was the same minister who famously walked out of a live tv interview when he didnt like the questioning. Ah, Thatcher's Britain - still remembered with a shiver. fred
- The term was in use long before the Iron Bitch blasted Britain; I'd say mid-1960s or so. --Orange Mike 02:46, 23 March 2007 (UTC)
Split "Debate of propriety of land development"[edit]
I believe that I included every point in the reorganization that I just completed. I wanted to address the relevance of the content, not change the content itself. Much of the content is, in fact, on the topic of whether land development is appropriate, and not on NIMBY specifically, which is a topic of quite limited scope and arguably naught but a definition. If this content is suitable for Wikipedia, which may in turn be subject to debate, it must be identified as what it is: part of the debate on development. ENeville 02:17, 12 September 2006 (UTC)

- Against, for the first-cited reason, and as per the duration of the merge tag without sufficient support, I will remove it now. Ingolfson (talk) 10:20, 29 March 2008 (UTC)
- Against, on the general principle that people who merge articles on Wikipedia almost never clean up all the resulting degraded links from other articles to the formerly distinct article which became a redirect. The result is a bunch of confusing and irritatingly incoherent links that don't do what the reader expects. Instead they bounce the reader to an article with a different title than the reader expects from the link text, and this breaks the reader's flow. In other words, people who downgrade articles to redirects usually seem to be focusing exclusively on only one small part of the big picture on Wikipedia, and when they "fix" the one isolated "problem" they perceive, they don't go around and fix all the other damage they caused. This is a manifestation of the Law of unintended consequences. --Teratornis (talk) 23:59, 14 December 2008 (UTC)

Incorrectly stated cost[edit]
"residents objected to the conversion of a large, £1.7 residential property" <-- this seems a little too cheap to me! Andrew Moylan 02:34, 29 September 2007 (UTC)
Nuclear facilities[edit]
I'm not sure why wind farms have been singled out for a mention in the lead section. NIMBY opposition to nuclear facilities is far more common...
Take the USA. There has been local opposition across the country to nuclear power plants (see Anti-nuclear movement in the United States). There has also been much local opposition to nuclear waste dumps (see Nuclear Nebraska). And also local opposition to nuclear weapons facilities (see [1], [2]). Johnfos (talk) 23:02, 30 January 2008 (UTC)
- The addition of wind farms was by another contributor, I merely added a reference for it. I suspect the opposition for various types of power source depends on the geography of the country in question. The case here is that have an island (the United Kingdom) which does have (proportionally) rather a lot of windy coast line. —Sladen (talk) 12:34, 2 February 2008 (UTC)
- Some wind farms have been the target for some NIMBY opposition. There are some Web sites dedicated to this, although they look to me like a kind of fringe-element activity, with lots of quasi-factual arguments that had nothing to do with the intial objection, which was purely the fact that some people had a negative emotional reaction to wind farms when they first learned about them. The fact that a few eccentrics might object loudly to wind farms doesn't change the fact that the majority of people in an area may be either neutral or welcoming to them. Very few things are 100% welcomed anywhere - different people have amazingly diverse opinions. Objections to wind farms seem to be more common in areas where (some) people live quasi-rural exurban lifestyles. This is more common in the eastern United States where suitable wind farm sites are fewer, and are often in relatively undeveloped areas near enough to cities to allow some people to burn large amounts of petroleum on daily commutes, to get the aesthetic benefits of a kind of country living along with the economic benefits of city life. It is quite natural for a person who lives this kind of lifestyle to object to any sort of noticeable development in the bucolic bedroom area. In honestly rural areas where most people actually make their livings from ranching and farming, and often struggle economically from the ups and downs of agriculture, wind power tends to be welcomed as a reliable source of supplementary income requiring no investment from the landowner. In short, NIMBY is often a function of whether developers pay the people who have to live with the development. Obviously a person will tend to view a gigantic wind turbine more favorably if it reminds him or her of the several thousand dollars he or she gets for doing nothing besides allowing it to be there. In this sense, when NIMBYism occurs it is a manifestation of an unpaid external cost, just as a pleasant view of land that one does not own is a similarly unpaid external benefit. If the peak oil doomers turn out to be correct, the petroleum-fueled exurban lifestyle will turn out to have been a short-term unsustainable aberration, and this could quiet objections to future wind farm expansion once people begin to realize wind farms are essential to maintaining modern comforts in a world where fossil fuels become increasingly scarce. --Teratornis (talk) 23:52, 14 December 2008 (UTC)
Point of View[edit]
Basically, around 70% of the references on this page refer to pejorative or derogatory terms for NIMBYs. NIMBYs are just people with a point of view. This article ought not to be so heavily biased towards one point of view. There is no problem with having an opinion, but keep it to blogs and forums. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Dez82 (talk • contribs) 09:22, 8 February 2008 (UTC)
- I disagree with the claim "there is no problem with having an opinion." Opinions have led to all sorts of problems throughout history. For example, groups of people with different opinions have fought religious wars, and any opinion which happens to be factually incorrect and produces real-world consequences could readily lead to problems. Opinions are one of the biggest sources of problems for humans. In my opinion. --Teratornis (talk) 23:31, 14 December 2008 (UTC)

Hi. Following discussion at Talk:BANANA#Merge_or_redirect I've merged the content here.
After I did that, I noticed the threads above at #BANANA merge into NIABY section. I didn't mean to edit against consensus, and now I'm hoping that this can possibly be seen as a case of WP:Consensus can change or somesuch. The BANANA article-stub had no real potential of growth, and is clearly at least a related term to NIABY (and hence NIMBY).
The three possibilities I can think of are:
- Leave the content as merged
- Instead, change the page BANANA to a softredirect to wikt:BANANA (which doesn't really help readers who want contextual details and references)
- Either retitle this article to encompass all the terms, or create a new glossary/list page for all the related terms: There are quite a few stubs (with little growth potential) in the See also section here, as well as sections already within this article, eg. NIABY, NAMBI, BANANA, CAVE People, Drawbridge mentality, Locally unwanted land use, YIMBY.
Personally, I'm currently inclined towards option #1 or #3. Your thoughts welcome. -- Quiddity (talk) 19:24, 26 June 2010 (UTC)
- I support merging all of the closely related stubs into one, so that readers can get a better overview and more precisely identify the differences between the terms. This should also make the process be more about "the idea that local residents don't want something here" rather than "the specific word used to describe it". WhatamIdoing (talk) 19:34, 26 June 2010 (UTC)
- Do you mean: Merge the other terms into this article, under the "Variations" section (possibly retitling that section), or, move&merge the non-NIMBY terms to a new list article (any title suggestions? perhaps something like "Land use activism terminology"?), or other? Thanks :) -- Quiddity (talk) 19:52, 26 June 2010 (UTC)
- I'd been thinking about merging everything here, but the list (with lots of redirects) may the best idea, since it could be a bit more expansive. I don't have any good ideas for a title. WhatamIdoing (talk) 05:31, 31 August 2010 (UTC)
Combine primary/secondary for/against, enhance against[edit]
I've reorganized this section for purposes of NPOV and clarity. I have:
- combine primary and secondary for clarity
- DELETE: "that public services are demanded without regard to how government will pay for them" -- How is this an issue here?
- change "loss of property value" to "loss of residential property value, and thus municipal income from property taxes"
- added "toxic pollution of land, air, and water, light pollution, noise pollution, visual blight, and other quality of life losses," -- this is because simply "environmental depredation" simply doesn't cover all of the harmful effects.
- Delete "new residents" from "disproportionate benefit to non-locals or new residents" unless someone can give an example of how a new resident can benefit
- I've also added a new statement at the intro of the "against development" section about local sovereignty, because this had been entirely absent.
-- Bill Huston (talk) 00:30, 31 August 2010 (UTC)
- About #3: Don't you suppose that declining commercial and agricultural property values would have the same negative effect on property tax revenues? And might those taxes be paid to more than merely municipalities? WhatamIdoing (talk) 05:34, 31 August 2010 (UTC)
Adding POV-check tag[edit]
After making edits to the issues section, I still find this article has multiple POV/bias problems. The preamble mentions that NIMBY is chiefly used in a pejorative sense, then the article uses it this way in many instances. An example is the caption on the first image:
- An airport is a typical example of a development that can cause a NIMBY reaction
"NIMBY reaction" uses the term in the pejorative sense, and is thus not NPOV. There are good reasons why local residents may oppose development. This article makes it seem like "NIMBY reaction" is a psychological pathology, and like any good Public Relations neologism, it slides by certain premises, i.e., that foreign development should never be opposed, and masks any legitimate concerns local residents may have to oppose such. -- Bill Huston (talk) 02:21, 1 September 2010 (UTC)
NIMBYism and racism?[edit]
If a well-off white person could support the views of the political left (i.e. the Labour party in the UK) as long as ethnic minorities were concentrated in poorer areas and sent their children to a fee-paying school where there were less ethnic minorities, wouldn't this be a form of NIMBYism?--X sprainpraxisL (talk) 13:26, 9 May 2011 (UTC)
- "as long as ethnic minorities were concentrated in poorer areas" - I would call it blatent racism over NIMBYism. I certainly wouldn't consider it to be the views of someone who supported the political left. BulbaThor (talk) 19:18, 4 October 2011 (UTC)

One of our examples of a NIMBYism appears to be a condiment. Unless we have some concrete example of people opposing this hot sauce, I'd suggest we remove this. 126.96.36.199 (talk) 22:20, 2 January 2014 (UTC)
And now also a picture of some kind of nut... 188.8.131.52 (talk) 16:53, 7 July 2015 (UTC) Roy
There actually was a well reported NIMBY action against the Sriracha plant which residents claimed was emitting noxious vapors of chili which they claimed burned their noses. Mycosys (talk) 03:40, 26 September 2015 (UTC)
Petone, Wellington?[edit]
I would say that the entry about Petone, Wellington, New Zealand, is very unencyclopaedic, and adds nothing relevant to the page. Quite possibly some of the other examples for other countries/regions are poor too, but I haven't read those in depth. The article appears inflammatory, and or written by a person with a distinct bias against a people group and/or geographic area. I'd say the whole section should be tidied up, but in the first instance the Petone writings should be removed. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 22.214.171.124 (talk) 00:20, 26 January 2015 (UTC)
Buai pekpek[edit]
Honestly, I think that buai pekpek deserves its own Wikipedia article because it's a major problem on sidewalks across the world. On Yik Yak I saw a lot of posts during commencement season from Students Against Buai Pekpek saying how we should ban betelnut vendors from selling buai during the ceremony because people graduating should be able to celebrate their four years of college on a campus where they don't have to worry about stepping in buai pekpek. Chewing and selling betelnuts was banned in Port Moresby partly over the mess made from buai pekpek because Pom Town deserves better than buai pekpek and other pipia (Tok Pisin for litter). But one controversy over the activism by Students Against Buai Pekpek in college towns is that the activism (including promoting an outright ban on betelnuts on some campuses) is NIMBY activism. If buai vendors aren't able to sell betelnuts on or near campuses, they will sell them in the rest of the college towns and college students seeking a buzz from the arecoline in betelnut will go off campus into town for their buai, increasing the number of people buying, and chewing, betelnut, ultimately spitting buai pekpek, in the local community. However, Students Against Buai Pekpek has responded to being accused of NIMBY activism by pointing out that in addition to pushing to change university policies to keep betelnuts from being sold on campus, they are pushing to support different measures, such as getting more rubbish bins onto the campus and spit cups in the dining halls so that people chewing betelnuts at least spit the pekpek there rather than on the sidewalk. There have also been slogans for trying to make it cool to not chew betelnut, like "Who chews buai? Not this guy!", "Betelnut? More like betelYUCK!", and "Show your town respect, keep it free of buai pekpek." So this controversy is very relevant to NIMBY.

- OK. Try writing one - the content on NIMBY is way out of balance with the rest of the article. Velella Velella Talk 17:56, 17 July 2015 (UTC)
The buai pekpek example[edit]
Okay, so I see there was too much about buai pekpek in the article. But I do think that betelnut vendors are a prime example of something that provokes a NIMBY response. Buai pekpek is one of the reasons why betelnuts were banned in Port Moresby even though buai is very popular in Pom Town, and it is part of why Students Against Buai Pekpek campaigns to keep betelnut vendors from selling their betelnuts on and near campus. And I can see why the pro-buai crowd is considering this activism NIMBY. So can the picture of the buai pekpek stay if I don't put in the rest of the edits and I refer to buai pekpek by its English name?
2600:1:E540:28D2:55FA:E835:5FBC:C2FB (talk) 17:49, 21 July 2015 (UTC)🐓🐓🐓🐓🐓
- Maybe if you put it in the examples section (with a new subsection for Papua New Guinea) and a reference for it being considered NIMBY. Although, is it really NIMBY? I assume the anti-buai crowd is more NIABY (Not In Anyone's Backyard).
- It might be good to take a look at removing trimming some of the examples in the lead section. A bunch of them seem to be more NIABY than NIMBY. It's a mix of 1) developments that most people would see as neccessary (as long as not near their homes) and 2) undesirable and nonessential businesses. I know it's got a citation, but abortion clinics is a terrible example. People opposed to abortion clinics aren't opposed to them in their backyards, they are opposed to them everywhere. Per the citation, they are using local laws (governing their "backyards") to restrict the ability of abortion clinics to operate. Plantdrew (talk) 20:49, 21 July 2015 (UTC)
- Indeed, litter is different to the cited/understanding of NIMBY, which is something of general benefit (public amenity)—but which would be "nice" if it was built next to somebody else's house/garden: motorways, railway stations, airports, prisons, shopping centres, schools—things that would normally be classes as a public amenity because they generally are useful and beneficial to a majority of the community in the long-run. Litter/graffiti/sick/spit isn't a long-term public amenity; when cleaned up the next day it will have vanished. —Sladen (talk) 21:15, 21 July 2015 (UTC)
- Wait a minute this actually caused a legitimate conversation? Dam that's actually pretty kewl. No hard feelings on you guys reverting my edits on the pekpek (at least from my side, I kno I was being a doosh to you guys there by keeping on putting stuff in there). As for the pekpek example, I think it still is a relevant example. While buai pekpek is very skeavy and no one wants to look at it (hence, the social media campaign by Students Against Buai Pekpek, #MopUpBuaiPekpek2015), in Port Moresby the ban on buai I think is relevant because it moved the sale of betelnuts, which are popular across much of PNG, was met with controversy because what was approved of wasn't buai pekpek but rather the sale of betelnuts. Because buai are so popular in Pom Town and the rest of PNG, banning buai just in Moresby and the reaction of many in Moresby opposing the ban or even trying to evade the ban (recently in Hanuabada there was a large police raid of betelnuts), while many supporters of the ban see this as helping to make Pom Town a better city, makes this someyhing that could be seen as a NIMBY controversy. 2600:1:E540:2818:1174:E742:237:8366 (talk) 14:27, 27 July 2015 (UTC)🐓🐓🐓🐓🐓
- 2600:1:E540:2818:1174:E742:237:8366: Consider a parallel example: Chewing gum; that article has a subsection Chewing gum#Detrimental effects on the environment covering the used/discarded/spat-out recreational product. This might be a good model to follow, for example suggesting/creating an areca nut#Detrimental effects on the environment section. The lack of citation material suggests that neither chewing gum nor areca nuts have much (or anything) to do with NIMBY concepts. —Sladen (talk) 14:43, 27 July 2015 (UTC)
- Okay I see what you mean. I'll keep buai pekpek off this page as an example. Tho don't you guys go chewing betelnut or spitting buai pekpek on the sidewalk cuz it's carcinogenic and skeavy so #MopUpBuaiPekpek2015 ^_^.

The 48th Union World Conference on Lung Health
The 48th Union World Conference on Lung Health will convene in Guadalajara, Mexico, on 11 to 14 October 2017. It will unite researchers, global advocates, civil society, scientists, healthcare professionals and students working on all aspects of lung health, under the theme 'Accelerating Toward Elimination'.
The conference theme will build on the momentum from the conference in Liverpool, drawing together 4000 delegates from 100 countries to achieve the ambitious goals that have been set for the global lung health agenda. It will focus on how to accelerate toward elimination on multiple fronts including tuberculosis (TB) and co-infections, improving tobacco control and reducing air pollution
The annual Union World Conference is a four-day scientific programme and a vital meeting place for all those working on every aspect of lung health, including TB. It will create a forum to share our knowledge and unify our commitment to those actions that will make the greatest improvements to public health.
As a nation that embodies triumphs and challenges in the field of lung health, Mexico is a fitting backdrop for the conference. It is also representative of the need to find new and more effective ways to beat TB. While Mexico has made significant progress in lung health policies in recent years through important advancements in tobacco control and against air pollution, it is not yet free of the burden of TB – over twenty thousand TB cases were recorded last year.
The country is moving at great pace towards elimination. Through our collective efforts, we can accelerate this, in Mexico, and the world.
Join us in 2017.
