CCCA has a broad base of knowledge and expertise. The Consortium's members and associated partners, complemented by their respective international networks, cover a wide spectrum of disciplines and sectors related to climate change adaptation.
The width of the Consortium's knowledge base can be illustrated by a diagram representing eight thematic areas and cross-cutting issues:
Thematic areas
1. Agrifood, infrastructure, urban deltas and rivers
More frequent and more intense precipitation, rising sea levels and land subsidence conspire to pose serious challenges to sea coasts and river deltas, many of which are urbanizing at a fast rate. Challenges include more frequent and more widespread flooding; salt water intrusion; damage to buildings, infrastructures and agriculture. A broad range of ideas for adaptive measures need to be integrated for the purpose of planning and design of buildings, infrastructures, urban zones, cities and even entire delta areas.
2: Global, regional and local water systems
Climate change will have impacts on fresh water cycles at many levels. Droughts and rising temperatures may lead to (drinking) water shortages, crop failures, groundwater depletion, increase of water salinity, erosion, permafrost melting, coastal ecosystem loss. Ultimately, these challenges could force human migrations at massive scales. There is a need for integrated measures that take all aspects of these problems on board.
3: Climate Change and Public Health
Both climate change and certain adaptation measures (such as increased water storage capacity) can affect public health. Air quality may worsen, water quality and availability and sanitation standards may diminish, heat may affect health and work productivity, warmer and/or wetter weather may increase risks of infectious diseases, and extreme natural events may have severe impacts on human health as well. There is a need to assess and shape public health effects of combinations of all these potential impacts.
4: Extreme weather events and natural hazards
Climate change will increase the frequency and intensity of extreme weather events such as storms, heavy rainfall, heat waves and droughts. More often than today, such extreme weather will result in natural disasters such as hurricanes and tornadoes, floods, landslides, avalanches, wildfires and dust storms. Adaptation measures must take into account reliable forecasts of changing patterns of extreme weather and major calamities.
Cross-cutting issues
1. Modelling, monitoring and risk assessment
Climate change affects many variables in complex systems. Apart from 'simple' effects on temperatures, water cycles and atmosphere, large ecosystems and even socio-economic, cultural and political systems undergo complex changes as well. There is great potential for integrated, multisectoral tools that can model, monitor and map the far-reaching (potential) effects of both climate change and climate change adaptations. They require appropriate sets of sensing technologies, databases, integrated numerical models, and computing facilities, but they also require new methodologies and proper quality standards and benchmarks.
2: Governance and Law
Climate change adaptation planning and measures need effective governance and compliance with (inter)national treaties and regulations, if only because of the growing potential for water-, food- and migration-related conflict. Governments, companies and NGOs around the world require practical, hands-on knowledge of law, effective institutions, and best practices in planning, governance and policy-making at local, regional, national and global levels. Effective climate change adaptation demands action-oriented, place-based climate services that engage, enable and empower communities, knowledge brokers and scientists locally.
3: Finance, investment and climate economics
Climate change will have profound effects on economies and financial systems globally. Understanding those effects at local, regional, national and international levels is essential, not just for fully understanding the impact of climate change but for designing effective climate adaptation strategies as well. Risk insurance mechanisms need to incorporate and influence physical risks to buildings and infrastructures. Adaptation strategies need to take local financial and economic realities into account. Funders will need tools and criteria for proper funding procedures. Investors will need ways to transform climate adaptation into bankable projects.
4: Capacity building and education
For climate change adaptation to be effective, people with appropriate knowledge and skills are needed in nations, cities and villages around the world. At present, many low- and middle-income countries lack the capacity to fully embrace, develop and implement adaptation measures. Building this capacity is essential to any global climate adaptation strategy. Skills in demand include disseminating knowledge to relevant stakeholders, providing effective professional education (including online), developing effective curricula, and building learning societies.

Angry investors lambasted Toshiba executives at a shareholder meeting Thursday after it warned annual losses could balloon to more than $9.0 billion but agreed to the sale of its memory chip unit, the jewel in the firm's crown.
The heated meeting held just outside Tokyo comes a day after the huge conglomerate said its troubled atomic reactor maker Westinghouse Electric had filed for bankruptcy protection in the United States.
Toshiba, one of the pillars of corporate Japan, also warned Wednesday its annual losses mainly tied to Westinghouse could blow out to 1.01 trillion yen ($9.07 billion), compared with an earlier projected shortfall of 390 billion yen.
The company has delayed formally reporting its earnings over the problems at Westinghouse, including whistleblower claims about accounting misconduct by senior executives at the unit.
Thursday's meeting was held to get shareholder approval to spin-off Toshiba's prized memory chip business, seen as key for the cash-strapped company to turn itself around. The motion was approved.
"It's unforgivable that they could book a trillion yen loss -- management should quit," a 75-year-old investor, who identified himself only as Tomari, told AFP before the meeting started.
President Satoshi Tsunakawa apologised for the crisis Thursday, which comes less than two years after Toshiba's reputation was badly damaged by separate revelations that top executives had pressured underlings to cover up weak results for years after the 2008 global financial meltdown.
That scandal laid bare serious problems with Toshiba's internal controls and governance.
"We apologise to all stakeholders, including shareholders, for causing this trouble and worry over our nuclear business," Tsunakawa said.
Shigenori Shiga, who once headed Westinghouse and stepped down as Toshiba's chairman in February, was not at Thursday's meeting.
"Why is Mr Shiga not here today?" asked one angry shareholder. "The people who were in charge aren't even here today."
Toshiba cited "health issues" for the absence of Shiga, who is still with the company.
"Toshiba is now a laughing stock around the world," said one shareholder. "You're all incompetent managers. Do you even know what's going on?"
Toshiba shares picked up Thursday morning, but they have lost more than half their value since late December when it warned of huge losses and the probe at Westinghouse.
Japanese financial regulators have given the company until April 11 to publish results for the October-December quarter, which were originally due in mid-February.
The firm is at risk of an embarrassing delisting from Tokyo's stock exchange.
"I'm watching the share price everyday," a 70-year-old investor said.
"The value of my small investment depends on them" she added, referring to Toshiba executives.
Westinghouse, acquired by Toshiba a decade ago, was once hailed as a future growth driver after the 2011 Fukushima nuclear accident brought new business in Japan to a halt.
But the US firm has been hit by the project delays and cost overruns at plants in two states while weakening prospects for the nuclear power industry globally have also weighed on its fortunes.

The 7 Chakras
The study of 7 chakras originates in Eastern spiritual traditions that consider the seven primary chakras the basis of our human existence. Similarly, today's Western approaches place en emphasis on the seven chakras as representations of different aspects of our life and describe their function in various terms encompassing the psychological, physical, energetic and spiritual.
7 Major Chakras Overview
The basic human chakra system, as it is commonly accepted, consists of seven chakras stretching from the base of the spine to the crown of the head. Their names, locations and corresponding chakra colors are:
- Root chakra — base of the spine — red
- Sacral chakra — just below the navel — orange
- Solar Plexus chakra — stomach area — yellow
- Heart chakra — center of the chest — green
- Throat chakra — base of the throat — blue
- Third Eye chakra — forehead, just above area between the eyes — indigo
- Crown chakra — top of the head — violet
- "Muladhara"
- "Svadhishthana"
- "Manipura"
- "Anahata"
- "Vishuddha"
- "Ajna"
- "Sahasrara"
Make every cell in your body awaken and rejoice!
Most of us have energetic blocks and imbalances as well as energy-sabotaging habits that prevent us from accessing our full vitality, which leads us to feel exhausted, scattered, dull… even ill.
The good news is that doesn't have to continue! Bestselling author and world-renowned expert on chakras, Anodea Judith, will reveal the secret to optimizing your energy system, during a free virtual event hosted by The Shift Network: Supercharge Your Chakra Practice: How to Heal Your Energy Centers & Unleash the Full Power of Your Life Force.
We hope to "see" you there! It's FREE to attend and you will receive a recording if you can't listen live. >> SUPERCHARGE YOUR CHAKRAS NOW.
The Seven Chakras in the Human Body
The seven chakras are commonly associated with the following parts of the body:
- The first one to the perineum, in the coccyx area
- The second one to the lower belly, seen a few inches below the navel
- The third one to the solar plexus
- The fourth one to the center of the chest, slightly to the left of the physical heart
- The fifth one to the throat, at the carotid plexus
- The sixth one to the point between the eyebrows or "third eye"
- The seventh one to the top of the cranium
It's important to remember that the location of the seven chakras varies slightly depending on the traditions or school of thoughts. Some may place the second one slightly to the left of the body, at the level of the spleen, while others will place it lower at the level of the gonads.
Even though the 7 chakras are associated with specific parts of the body, they are not "physical" entities per se, but belong to the realm of "subtle energy". They can be described at the crossroad of the material and the immaterial, the biological and the spiritual, and pertain to the body, mind, and spirit all together.
The 7 Chakra System Explained
The 7 chakras are part of the most commonly known chakra system made of seven energy centers located along the spine and ending in the brain, from the perineum area to the top of the head.
The mainstream chakra system is based on a Hindu chakra system that recognizes seven distinct "wheels" or "centers" of energy that are perpetually in motion along the human body's spinal column. Each possessing its own color and vibrational frequency, these wheels are the catalysts of consciousness and human function. They govern various emotional issues, from our survival instincts and self-esteem to our ability to communicate and experience love.
What Is Chakra Balancing?
A large part of getting to know how to work with your chakras involves chakra balancing. A chakra blockage and imbalance in one or several of 7 chakras can initiate mental, emotional, physical and/or spiritual ailments. Regardless of whether you use chakra stones, crystals, reiki, or another form of vibrational healing to restore chakra balance, being well-versed about chakra systems, their function, and the areas they govern can be invaluable.
Balancing chakras and healing with the chakra energy system requires a working knowledge of chakras and their functions. While a basic chakra chart illustrates the foundational seven chakras, did you know there are additional chakras to consider?
Need help balancing all of your chakras? The 7 Chakra Balancing Meditation is a relaxing meditation that will help you to activate and balance all 7 chakras. Your guide Céline Remy will lead you through a relaxing meditation combining Visualizations, Hand Movements and Affirmations. Allow Céline's relaxing voice along with beautiful music to guide you through this powerful rebalancing practice. Start your day in balance and/or re-balance after a busy day. This meditation can be performed everyday or whenever you need a tune-up. >>> Start Meditating Today!
Beyond The Seven Chakra System
It is important to understand we are all made of pure energy and we share it with the Earth — which gives and sustains life. That being said, the more intricate 12 chakra system illustrates just how closely we are "tied" to the planet. Stretching from an estimated three feet below the earth's surface to deep into space is a cord of energy that links each and every human being to the planet and the universe.
Learn more about the 12 chakras with a brief explanation of the additional five chakras, including their names, function, and color.

Very interesting and I want more knowledge about chacras.
What a joke
The third chakra is said to be at the solarplexus. However this chakra is linked to willpower. Ok that is easy to test. Take a car with the brake off and try to push it for a few yards. Now focus on your solarplexus and push it for a few yards. Did this go very much more easy?
Now focus on the point 2 fingers below your navel. Push the car for a few yards where you get your power from this point. How did you do? I can guarantee this went much more easy. This is the point linked to your second chakra and that is linked to sexuality. But is sexuality is that not better linked with the reproductive organs and not with willpower. So in that case the seccond chakra would, logically, be located near the reproductive organs (for women the point 2 fingers below the navel is a erogen point and so cofused with sexuality. For males however this point has no real meaning towards sexuality. Woman have 9 erogen points and males only 3. The chakra system for males and females is the same, some polarities differ, but the chakra's are at the same positions ore very very near to the same positions). Hey but the first chakra is located there. But the first chakra is linked with the earth. Would it not be logical that the first chakra is located at the base of the spine?
If you have awakend your kundalini energy and you can let it flow upward this will happen: It starts at the base of the spine and will move up to your reproductive organs, there it accumulates until it moves to the next chakra under the navel. And again it will accumulate then it moves upwards and does not stop for a while until it reaches the heart chakra. There it will accumulate again until it moves upward agian to the throat.
Hmm no stop at the solar plexus. There is a little chakra at the solarplexus but not the main one. The main chakra's are connected to the kundalini channel. the first is at the base of the spine, the seccond at the reproductive organs (it is very close to eachother and because of that and taboo skipped) the third one is located two fingers below the navel. The fourth at the height of the heart in the spine. The fifth in the throat. The sixth at the third eye and the seventh a little abouve your head.
just who (truthfuly) discover the 3rd eye?
the Hindus in India!
How do I begin, I have my stones now do I meditate or what do I do to begin.?
Meditation is food of the chakra.
Meditation is the key to break all the chakars.
But if that seems to be hard, you can even start bylistening to hymns and praises of god also reciting the praises in your mind all the time.
Doing so will give you a base to begin meditation.
join isha foundation of sadhguru. You need a proper guru or teacher for such accomplishment.
I want to know which chakra is need to awakens first. Can i start with ajna chakra.Because i daily meditat with ajna chakra
the lower chakras support the upper ones.
This means if you have good root chakra it will strengthen the sacral chakra immediatley.
They are connected through the astral-spine.
You need to be grounded and stable (root chakra) to be able to fully feel (sacral chakra).
Feeling your body and emotions gives you a sense of (your)self. You know what you want. (solar plexus chakra)
When these conditions are met it should be a lot of easier to open your heart chakra than if your lower chakrs were deficient or blocked. You become not only aware of your own feelings but of those around you as well.
Dear sir,
Every person at his birth time the chakra and initiation of mind by divine bliss energy is done so you need to activate the particular chakra and then after doing meditation or concntrating on that chakra in a relaxed free way where your body and mind co-operates with each other .You can move to the higher intellectual form of birth.
Where did chakra clearing come from? The one where your hand moves counterclockwise and then clockwise until the crown where its clockwise to start(for men) and counterclockwise to start(for women). Can one use this method along with Reconnection and MAtrix ENergetics to be very healthy so they never go to hospital or ER and keep all their faculties in old age and dont need a nursing home?THank you Please email back Thank you
Please explain that last statement of you'll never have to go to the hospital, ER,or Nursing home.Im not discounting and I dont believe your talking about going to Er's for like car accidents.
Im very much truly interested in the healing powers mentally physically & spiritually.Please any offer of understanding will be helpful.
Thank You,
Michael Love

To the editor,
We are writing as the Chair and Co-chair, respectively, of the Country Club of Woodbridge (CCW) Ad Hoc Committee appointed by our First Selectman, Ellen Scalettar. We were among the facilitators at two Community Conversations convened by Ellen to hear the views of Woodbridge residents about the CCW property. Based on public input at those and other meetings, the Town crafted and sent out a Request for Proposals (RFP) to solicit private sector interest in the property. Two responses to the RFP were submitted and we led the group of seven town residents who reviewed the proposals and made recommendations to the Board of Selectmen.
Our unanimous recommendation was that the Board of Selectmen consider the Toll Brothers proposal. We believe it meets the needs of all Town residents because it:
- generates, when completed (6-7 years) $2,000,000 in new tax revenue which allows us to control future tax increases;
- is a cash Sale of $7,500,000;
- allows us to pay off the entire CCW debt of $5,900,000;
- provides for 170 units of over 55 housing for our aging population;
- removes the existing club house and replaces it with a new pool house;
- provides for a 9 hole golf course or walking trails at the option of the Town;
- includes refurbishing the pool and tennis courts for recreation to be enjoyed by all Woodbridge residents;
- provides for the Town to retain ownership of approximately ½ of the property (75 acres); and
- requires that Toll Brothers be responsible for infrastructure costs (roads, sewers, gas lines, etc.) and maintenance would become the responsibility of the homeowners association.
The Ad Hoc Committee's report and recommendations can be found on the Town of Woodbridge website at: www.woodbridgect.org.
We are aware that neither the First Selectman nor any of the Board of Selectmen members has made a decision about whether or not they will recommend the Toll proposal, in its current form or after negotiations, to the residents of Woodbridge. The plan is to hold community forums for all Town residents, as well as to have relevant Town Boards and Commissions weigh in from their particular vantage point. We encourage Town residents to take advantage of the informational meetings to educate themselves since we all will vote on the future of the property.
We believe strongly that First Selectman Ellen Scalettar and all members of the Board of Selectmen are serving the best interests of our Town by not rejecting the proposal out of hand and trusting the townspeople to decide.
Carolyn Wolff, Chair
Andy Esposito, Vice-chair
CCW Ad Hoc Committee

Partially by chance I was in Vancouver on game 7 night and wasn't about to miss the action so I joined the crowd at Georgia and Hamilton an hour before the game started. I wasn't expecting that much action.
The tension was building early and there was an aggressive edge on by the second period. On my immediate left (like, the guy whose back I was pressed into) guys were threatening to knife each other because of some comment of Boston fandom, and one fight had broken out a little farther away. On my right, guys were readying themselves for when the bunch on my left started to fight for real, and I was exactly where I didn't want to be, between the two, and couldn't move. Where I was standing the crowd was as tight as the last Nirvana concert I was at; a guy near me joked that having raised an arm, he couldn't get it back down to his side.
Trouble started before the game was even over. At the end of the second period there was an outflux of older people, children, and others unable to take the crush of the crowd.
Immediately after the empty net goal, attention whipped around to our right, where we could see people climbing a tree, and white smoke beginning. Someone was spraying a fire extinguisher. My first video (terrible, unwatchable videos) shows the massive surge of the crowd fleeing from the source of the bangs and screaming. My next video, after the majority of people have fled, shows the people left over moving the other direction, inbound with curiosity towards the smoke.
I circled the crowd, crossing the street and moving away from the big screen that was being hastily removed, watching more than taking pictures. The garbage blanketing the street was obscene. Many fans were reeling from the game, sitting and staring, crying, hugging each other. Most people were smiling nervously, eyes wide and standing as tall as they could to see what was happening. Girls were crying and screaming and running, and everyone was on their cell phones, trying to locate others or else shrieking, "It's a riot! It's a riot!"
It wasn't then, not yet. Two cars had just been set on fire.
Police in pairs were plucking young men out of the melee and hustling them, handcuffed in zap straps, down the curved entrance of library square. A helicopter was aloft and men on the roof of the Canada Post building were clearly communicating with the ground to pick out perpetrators. The air was hazy with the sooty tar smell of burning tires.
I started taking pictures of guys jumping towards the cars, into the heat for a moment, to stick out tongues and fingers for a souvenir pic on their iPhones. I thought they were insane, but it turned out that those were the ubiquitous pics of the night, these gleeful self portraits with riot:
the I'm in Vegas/on a mountaintop/wasted at Burning Man poses, the we're-here-and-you're-not-and-it's-so-awesome pics, the we're-kinda-drunk-but-we-just-have-to-remember-this-forever-and-I'm-totally-posting-this-on-FB pictures, only in front of burning cars and black smoke and garbage. Why?
It was surreal, the juxtaposition of casual interactions and chaos. In front of me, a woman passed a total stranger her DSLR and walked several feet away for her self portrait. Seconds later, a boy dragged his girlfriend who had been maced in the eyes past. Tried to help her but no one had water. I started chatting with another observer about photography as a few overzealous boys were extinguishing their garbage fire by piling the astroturf strip onto it prematurely.
There was opposition. Shouting matches and worse started between outraged watchers and kids starting fires, tipping port-o-potties, blue fences, and newspaper boxes, smashing and kicking in windows. Those I saw resisting the vandalism were scary angry! Furious, loud, and livid. But the younger people quietly carried on lighting fires and running away. I was upset about garbage cans lit on fire under a tree, but they were tied to the tree, so I couldn't kick them away, and the melted plastic folded like fabric.
The vast majority of people on the street were like me, lurking, observing and taking pictures from the middle distance. There were very few people actually taking action, and they were young guys, just like the mayor said.
I was amazed at the numbers of tiny young women darting around in mini skirts and heels. Not nearly that vulnerable, I got jostled plenty, and had my feet stepped on so many times.
I felt very calm, carefully watching my escape routes, ready to duck quickly behind solid objects and big guys and generally trying to remain invisible. But then, I was stone cold sober.
The crowd was not very thick, and the real risks were utterly random- glass bottles sailing through the air, and sudden rushes of people stampeding from police or explosions.
I watched one swaggering young man pick up a 2×6 and hurl it over the crowd into the police line. That could have killed someone, as it barely cleared the backs of unsuspecting heads.
The police seemed to move very slowly. A thin line of officers in riot garb advanced down Georgia 10 feet at a time, setting off 3 smoke grenades and then taking a few strides, beating anyone who didn't instantly run. No one resisted them; anyone left standing in front of them scattered in the smoke and ran. They slowly gained Georgia to Hamilton, and then held that intersection for a long time, while more squads arrived, mounted police arrived, and dog handlers.
I was surprised at the horses, because I think of horses as vulnerable in that sort of environment, but I suppose cavalry has had a place in war for as long as we've been horseback.
I was scared for a moment when one cop released his dog near me. That animal was a beautiful machine! So large, and so powerful, gorgeously fierce and primal, lunging open mouth with spit flying at the limit of his long leash. That cleared people in a hurry! I ran down to Cambie then, where a crowd was just surging the police cars in the parking lot.
There was a different quality to the night once darkness fell. The choppers droned circles in the smoky haze, their spotlights flickering on the ground. The police loudspeakers droned a recording over and over "…chemical agents will be deployed". People were jumping both ways over the fences, to join the fray or to avoid it. It was dreamlike, and people lined the fences, staring, the car fires as mesmerizing as campfires.
There were numerous philosophical discussions around the edges. Countless people came up to me and started conversations. Maybe because I was alone, and not talking on my phone. Most commented on the sadness/shame/stupidity/waste of it. What was mentioned less was the fascination. We were all there, after all, riveted.
Where there's fear, there's excitement, and this was some of the most real, visceral experience most of the people present have ever been in, I'm sure, all the more thrilling because it was so uncontrolled. I think it's what we aim for with sports events, action movies, and high risk adventures: those peak, excessive emotions, minus the property damage.
The take home, for me- if it really were a political uprising, the police would not have a prayer. Here, the mob was not mobilized; the mob was drifting along, wide eyed and curious.
A very few people were sneakily causing shit in advance of the police progress, and rarely, half-heartedly, engaging the police. IF, in the event of a mass of people like that, truly angry and united with a political will, the mob WAS mobilized against a police force, the police as they appeared would have been swiftly overwhelmed.
I was exhausted, on my feet for seven hours. Shortly after a rumour passed through that a Boston fan had been killed by being thrown from the viaduct, I left. Clearly I missed the really bad stuff, the looting and fighting with police that I saw later on tv.
It's really interesting to me now, afterwards, to see the masses of pictures and recognize guys that I saw earlier and elsewhere during the night, and the series of car pictures. For all the thousands of pictures, there still seems to be so much undocumented.

Since the beginning of the current session of Jammu and Kashmir Assembly, the state government has been left red-faced on several occasions, facing protests by the legislators of the ruling parties. Most of the lawmakers who have openly come out in protest against the government were dropped from the Council of Ministers by the new government.
Jammu and Kashmir has a coalition government of PDP and BJP since Mehbooba Mufti took oath as the first female Chief Minister of the state on 4 April. Several ministers from the cabinet of previous PDP-BJP government led by late Mufti Mohammad Sayeed were dropped by the Mehbooba Mufti either for going against the party or due to the low performance card in their previous tenure as ministers.
From a senior minister, such as Sajjad Lone, refusing to join office of "insignificant ministry" to the verbal duels between the PDP MLAs in the Assembly, it looks like that CM Mehbooba is struggling to maintain the consensus among the members of the government. During a discussion in the Lower House of the Assembly on 28 May on the implementation of controversial National Food Security Act (NFSA) in the state, the Consumer Affairs and Public Distribution (CA and PD) Minister, Choudhary Zulfikar Ali, was cornered by the fellow PDP lawmakers — Ashraf Mir, Javaid Mustafa Mir and Yawar Dilwar Mir — over the poor implementation of the act.
Another member of coalition partner, BJP, RS Pathania, while trying to interrupt the CA and PD Minster castigated him for making misleading statements on NFSA. When MLA Yawar Mir supported opposition leader Ali Mohammad Sagar for questioning the food law, the government found itself in an embarrassing situation. While the trio accused CA and PD Minister of adopting a flawed scheme, the Opposition members shouted "shame, shame" while thumping the benches.
The CA and PD Minister while replying in a sarcastic tone to the fellow agitating party members said: "nayi, nayi ministry gayi hai". Both Ashraf Mir and Javaid Mustafa Mir were dropped from the Council of Minister in the Mehbooba-led government. The angry legislators were pacified only after the intervention of other fellow MLAs.
On 28 May, Javaid Mir, former Revenue Minister, trained guns on army for interfering in the life of the people of Leh and not paying the rent of the government land used by army for garrisons in the division. Meanwhile, the fellow BJP legislators, who are very vocal when it comes to support forces, remained tightlipped on their seats in the Assembly.
The ruckus continued in the Jammu and Kashmir Assembly on Friday over the controversial SRO-105 which allows non-state subjects to participate in the bidding for mineral excavation in the state. Amid din by the Opposition over the implementation of SRO-105, the senior PDP legislator, Altaf Bukhari, former R and B Mininster and Khalil Bandh, and other BJP lawmakers too joined the protest against the government over the implementation of SRO-105.
The PDP lawmakers said the government move will be a violation of Article 370 and will have impact on the livelihood of the locals workers. On facing the protest, the speaker announced setting up of a committee to look into the its implementation and the House had to be adjourned amid ruckus.
The open rebellion of the ruling party legislators particularly of PDP against the State Government is a worrying sign for Mehbooba Mufti who is already battling to run a government with an ideologically opposite, BJP and united separatists. Mehbooba needs to make some bold efforts to bring all the members of the party on board for effective and strong government before the opportunity slips out of her hands and the cracks become more wider.

Camp said Romney sought his help.
By Stuart Frohm
U.S. Rep. Dave Camp of Midland has two prominent roles in Mitt Romneys presidential exploratory campaign.
Romney former Massachusetts governor announced that Camp will be:
the committees Michigan co-chair and
one of the committees three congressional liaisons.
Camp said Romney sought his help. "He called me a few days ago," Camp said.
Camp is "excited and honored to be involved" and this is probably the earliest hes been involved in a presidential campaign, he said.
He expects to help coordinate Michigan appearances and fundraising and to help information and ideas flow between Congress and the campaign.
Camp recalled getting involved early with the campaign of the first President Bush George Herbert Walker Bush.
Camp explained that Romneys executive experience and his role in turning around Massachusetts economy are two key reasons why he is backing Romney,
Before Romney became governor of what Camp called " an overwhelmingly Democratic state," Romney turned around the 2002 Winter Olympics, which was "in a mess" before Romney signed on, and also turned businesses around, Camp said.
Romney is "very articulate" and "personable," Camp added.
Michigan roots are a plus for Romneys campaign in the state, but werent decisive in Camps decision, Camp said.
Romney, who will be 60 on March 12, is a son of former Michigan Gov. George Romney and former U.S. Senate candidate Lenore Romney. Some conservatives have questioned and criticized parts of Romneys record.
Camp said that as governor, Romney stood up "for the sanctity of marriage as well as the sanctity of life," and that people "will understand the record he has."
On Jan. 10, Romney said hed been wrong on some issues in 1994. In a tape of a Senate campaign debate that year with Sen. Edward M. Kennedy, Romney defended a womans right to abortion, said he supported allowing gays in the Boy Scouts and noted he was a registered independent during Ronald Reagans presidency.
Romney recently told conservative activists, "Now, I wasnt always a Ronald Reagan conservative. Neither was Ronald Reagan, by the way."
Camp said Reagan was criticized before his election as "not sufficiently pro-life" and as a former Democrat.
Reagan "turned out to be one of our greatest presidents," Camp said.
As a congressional liaison, Camp will serve with chief liaison Rep. Jim McCrery of Louisiana and Rep. Howard "Buck" McKeon of Virginia.
Camp and McCrey are past chairmen of the House Ways and Means Committees subcommittee on select revenue.

Urban science must inform policymaking — here's how
As the euphoria from last year's Habitat III conference on sustainable urbanization dissipates and global attentions turn to other pressing matters, it is urgent that the urban communities — of policy, practice and research — not lose the momentum and messaging that cities are essential to a sustainable future.
However, there are dangerous signs that the groundswell of support for cities in global policymaking may already be stalling. For instance, there is still no consensus on the interface between the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and other multilateral agreements dealing with cities and territorial systems, including the New Urban Agenda that was endorsed at Habitat III.
Likewise, we still do not have an established "science-policy interface" that gives a formal platform for urban scholars to engage formal policy processes like those elsewhere across the United Nations. For instance, the climate community has an Intergovernmental Panel for Climate Change (IPCC), biodiversity has its analogue (IPBES), and key interdisciplinary U. N. themes such as water or energy even have their own linchpin inter-agency bodies (UN-Water and UN-Energy).
What these structures allow, in various forms, is a formal role for science and interface with policy creating a channel for scholarly knowledge in multilateral affairs. Cities, on the contrary, lack not only a clear global agency but also any dedicated mechanism with which to engage the United Nations.
[See: Habitat III loses proposed Multi-Stakeholder Panel — for now]
Finally, the proposed monitoring mechanisms for the SDGs — including SDG 11, the landmark goal on cities — and other parts of the global urban policy agenda are inadequate. Academia is now mobilizing to provide authoritative commentary on the urban intricacies of implementing and assessing progress on these global goals.
Fostering urban leadership
At Habitat III, which took place in October in Quito, Ecuador, many conceded that "urban science", as a catchall reference for all types of inquiry into cities, remained "disparate, marginalized and ill-prepared to interact effectively with global policy". But that admission came with a call for improved evidence-based policymaking and a commitment to forge a more effective role for urban experts and their scholarship in shaping the future of cities.
"It is urgent that the urban communities — of policy, practice and research — not lose the momentum and messaging that cities are essential to a sustainable future."
Now is the time to start to deliver on this latter point. Nobody suggests that creating a coherent community of global urban scholars will be easy. Indeed, it will be particularly complicated by the fact that new knowledge will need to be forged collaboratively, engaging multiple regions, disciplines, professions and even ideologies. But it will be critical work nonetheless.
[See: Platform needed to provide scientific input on New Urban Agenda implementation, researchers say]
Of course, the work done for Habitat III and for the establishment of SDG 11 is far from wasted. Indeed, established research communities do exist around specific topics — such as climate change and cities, urban safety, ecosystems and cities — and many of these already interact with each other.
These links in many case predate 2016 and have established track records, but the Habitat III process helped coalesce disparate urban concerns in a framework that fed themes into the New Urban Agenda negotiations. Moreover, some of the more established sub-communities (for instance, on climate or urban safety), further benefited from the Habitat III platforms to advance integration of science and policy in their specific domains.
[See: We're entering a 'new era' for cities and science]
Now, these nascent networks of scholars provide critical foundations for broader efforts around global urban science. But much more needs to be done, including accelerating our efforts to cross-fertilize between academic disciplines, geographic areas, and urban policy sectors. Some such links are already there, but connections are tentative, fragile and at times brittle — so much work is needed to foster urban leadership.
Over the next six months, a new expert panel will explore how urban science can interact more effectively with policy and ultimately have an impact on policy decisions. That process is kicking off this week.
Expert panel
To galvanize the intellectual and political energies that enabled the endorsement of an urban SDG and provided impetus to the New Urban Agenda, Nature Sustainability journal and the City Leadership Lab at University College London (UCL), along with ICSU and the Prince of Wales' ISU, have joined forces to start a groundbreaking process on the urban science-policy interface for global sustainability.
"Over the next six months, the expert panel will review the state of the art of the interface between urban science and policy, and assess the viability of forging a more cohesive body of urban expertise."
This initiative builds on and expands expertise developed around the SDGs and Habitat III and includes other leading global urban experts to ensure an interdisciplinary scholarship. The aim of the Nature Sustainability Expert Panel is to advance the development of a more-integrated, cross-disciplinary and policy-engaged research on cities and urbanization. Over the next six months, this commission, of 30 eminent international scholars, will consider how urban science interacts with and influences policy.
[See: Meet the Edmonton official leading next year's landmark conference on climate and cities]
The tasks of the panel are clear. First, these 30 experts will seek to understand the role of science in forging a more sustainable future for cities. Second, they will work to make legible "science-policy interfaces" among different actors and at multiple scales. The final goal will be to offer tangible recommendations to the United Nations and beyond as to what can be done to bring together the knowledge and expertise from across the global urban science community in an effective interface to influence the sustainable development agenda.
Research from the UCL City Leadership Lab in the lead-up to Habitat III identified important themes for the 30 experts to consider as they seek to advise on how to open up practical and effective avenues to better mobilize the global urban research-policy connection. These themes include:
Communication and cooperation: Multi-level, multi-stakeholder and cross-sectoral approaches are needed. This is increasingly occurring, as illustrated by the proliferation of inter-municipal cooperation platforms such as city networks, but there is still much scope for improvement.
Participation: Even though progress was made to ensure wider participation, some actors reported having been sidelined during the process leading up to the adoption of the New Urban Agenda, including civil society, trade unions and the private sector. Inclusive participation from a wide and diverse range of constituents is essential for identifying and realizing opportunities.
Data quality and curation: There is a lack of comparable data sets, not only across geographies but also methodological and processing capacity asymmetries in the focus of data available. Access to data is often uneven, as numerous non-governmental actors — including universities, the private sector and NGOs — become repositories and drivers in the production of urban data.
Skills: There is a need to build further capacity in terms of understanding how to analyze and use data effectively, understanding the limitations of that data (including the scope of questions that can be addressed), acting beyond policy silos and balancing capabilities in the Global North and South.
[See: Science has a key part to play in planning the future of cities]
Building on these and many other key issues, the expert panel will review the state of the art of the interface between urban science and policy, and assess the viability of forging a more cohesive body of urban expertise. In November it will release a panel report with recommendations for the U. N. system and the academic world, followed by a comment in Nature Sustainability in January, as part of the lead-up to the World Urban Forum in Kuala Lumpur the following month.
Work is underway already — this week, the panel convenes in person for the first time.

Manchester City boss Manuel Pellegrini declared he wants to see his side dominate English football for the next 10 years, after clinching the Premier League title on Sunday, reports the Daily Star.
City wrapped up the title with a 2-0 win over West Ham at the Etihad, pipping Liverpool by two points.
The title was Pellegrini's first in Europe, and one he hopes is the first of many.
"Big teams cannot be satisfied with one title," said the Chilean, who became the first non-European manager to win the Premier League.
"It's very important – this club and players deserve more titles.
"We try to continue improving. In the future we will try to continue winning."
Captain Vincent Kompany, who scored to seal the club's second title in three years, said: "As a kid, you grow up and dream of lifting trophies, I feel like I am living that dream when I do this.
"Next year we need to be even better. If you want to be a big club then this must be one of so many."

Acne is a common inflammatory condition of the (big word alert) pilosebaceous glands, commonly known as blackheads, whiteheads, pimples, zits and purulent cysts. Acne can be found in any age from newborn babies to menopausal women. The most common cause of acne has been associated with hormone imbalance, improper food intake( peanuts, chocolate, fried foods etc..), inadequate sleep, and the misuse of cosmetic products. Other causes linked to acne also include constipation, smoking, drug use, menses and digestive problems. Zits or pimples are caused by pores which are blocked by oils or debris on the skin. Blackheads are open pores filled with dark, dried oil and dead skin cells. The standard treatment options include proper cleansing of the skin, food therapy(decrease the intake of greasy, sweet and fatty foods), and antibiotics.
I thought this was an interesting statistic: Records on acne treatment dates back the the Qin dynasty from 221B.C. to 9 A.D. So the problem has been around awhile. History shows acupuncture and herbs have been used to help heal the skin. Acne has also been linked to an overproduction of the hormone, testosterone. Chinese herbs such as Wen Chuan Zhou, Mu Dan Pi, Ban Zhi Lian, and other herbs are mixed in together to form Acne Formula. Most herbal pharmacies Americanize these formulas so you don't have to know the actual herb name. Acupuncture points are used to help increase the blood flow to the troubled areas. Cupping technique is also used. Ear acupuncture points are also recommended to be massaged by the patient 5 to 7 times per day. Ear pellets are placed on the lung, stomach, spleen, large intestine, san jiao, face, adrenals and endocrine points.
It is highly recommended to avoid squeezing the acne with the unclean fingers to avoid contamination with germs. Avoid spicy foods, greasy foods (fries, deep fat fried foods), cigarette smoking, alcohol and ice cream. It is important to maintain regular daily bowel movements. Use only warm water without soap to wash the face several times per day, especially if the skin is oily. Acne can worsen with excessive washing with soap as the pores can become overstimulated and the natural oil from the skin is stripped away. Stop using foundations as they clog up the pores. Stress is also a strong cause of a acne flare-up. Sleep is important as the body regenerates new cells. The most important time for sleep is between 10 p.m. and 12 a.m. — this is the most active time for cellular regeneration. Make sure to use fresh towels and washcloths each day. Change the pillowcases every other day so the oil from the hair does not come into contact with the face. Sunscreens and tanning lotions will plug up the pores.
There are various herbal facial mask/scrubs that can be useful on a daily basis. If you can apply Bai Ji Li and Zhi Zi mixed in with a little vinegar and apply at night, it can be very effective for new scars. The physical scars result in a psychological burden which can influence self esteem. Just remember zits have been around a long time and there is help.
I just want to thank all of our troops and veterans for your service. I am very proud of you all. If there is anything I can do to help you, please call my office. God bless America! Yours in good health.

While the Wall Street Journal – yes, that Wall Street Journal – rhapsodizes over the adoption of sportswear as fashionable day wear for men, the icon of NYC upper class attitude completely missed the boat about men's shirts. The recent article about men's sportswear was titled "From Treadmill to Runway: Men's Sportswear Smartens Up," but it lacked any mention whatsoever of one men's fashion staple – the men's fashion button down shirt.
In fact, men's button down shirts are often regarded as "part of the uniform" – dull foils meant to be worn under a jacket and, at best, serve as a good background for a necktie. But American men are starting to wake up to a whole world of men's button down shirt styles, styles in bright colors and patterns, with contrast stitching and design details that European and South American men have long taken for granted. And despite the fact that American men are a bit late to the party in adopting the fashionable men's shirt looks, they're definitely turning up everywhere, from the floor of the club to hot A-list Hollywood parties.
At Michael & David, our LA menswear design house offers a line of men's designer shirts that combine continental style sensibility with the comfort and quality American men expect. In fact, our company website features photos of celebrities hobnobbing with fans, performing and just generally hanging out wearing our designer signature Michael & David men's designer shirts. They feature bold colors, distinctive patterns and what we like to call an "American slim" fit. This style of shirt is cut close to fit the masculine body, but not so tight it binds in the wrong places. These are shirts designed for style and comfort, the hallmark of the very finest in menswear design.
Men's Button Down Shirt Style
In the world of men's shirts, button down shirts are a step above jerseys and pullovers on the formality scale. Even plaid flannel shirts and the ever-popular men's shirt in blue chambray are just a touch dressier than a tee or sweater. So it's no surprise that men's button downs are more welcome at the club than a golf shirt or sweats – even if the Wall Street Journal seems to think that silk sweats are a more fashionable alternative to a suit with a button down shirt. The WSJ has never been known as an arbiter of fashion, men's or otherwise, though they're not entirely wrong on this one. After all, no one wants to hit the dance floor in a suit and tie.
What they do want is a men's shirt that looks fabulous, feels comfortable and wears like iron. Our Michael & David design line ticks all the boxes. Not only are they fashionable and attractive, these shirts feature high quality construction details, like double-stitched seams, meticulous tailoring and exquisite style. Our men's designer shirt imports are cut to fit comfortably without being sloppy, and crafted of 100% natural Turkish cotton, which is generally acknowledged to be among the most luxurious fabrics in the world. The luxurious fabric and quality construction guarantee that the shirts will look as good after dozens of washes as they do right out of the package.
Men's button down shirts may not be walking down the fashion runways this summer, but they're definitely be putting in appearances at clubs, weddings and other occasions and events all over the country. Perhaps the Wall Street Journal should stick to reporting financial news.

Good day my lovely readers and my friends…
Saturday, as usual is my "Mentua Day"! Which means, we would spent the whole day at my parent in law house.
Last Saturday, as we arrived at their house, we were greeted by this cutie Aiesya – Amani's little cousin. My mother in law was babysitting her while her mama was on course that day.
These girls really had fun together. Amani playing like a big sister while Aiesya is very clingy to her. They are growing so fast. I am sure they will laugh looking at these photos when they are big girls. 😍

Reading Staircase
Only months after releasing Foster + Partner's plans for the controversial renovation of its Main Branch on Fifth Avenue, the New York Public Library (NYPL) has unveiled TEN Arquitectos' design for the 53rd Street Library, which will stand on the former site of the much beloved Donnell Library.
In the last few years, scarce funding coupled with substantial operating costs has compelled the NYPL to rejigger its branches. In some cases, this has meant closing, downsizing, or merging locations. But beyond financial constraints, the Library faces a greater and even pricklier challenge that puts into question the role of the institution: how to best serve the public at a time when demands and needs are changing. In an attempt to function both as a traditional resource for scholarly endeavors as well as a venue for community events, the NYPL is trying to adapt and re-imagine the spaces these libraries inhabit.
"Libraries are evolving, or need to, into something else," said Andrea Steele, managing partner at TEN Arquitectos. "We realized first and foremost that it had to be a public civic space."
It has been five years since the Donnell Library closed its doors. In 2008, NYPL sold the property to Orient Express Hotels, which had planned to build a hotel along with space for the new library, but then abandoned the project when the economic crisis hit. Now Tribeca Associates and Starwood Capital own the property and have committed to carving out room for the library at the base of a 50-story hotel and residential development.
The new $20 million, 28,000-square-foot branch—a significantly smaller space than the original Donnell Library—will take up three levels, two of which will be underground, and house a number of flexible communal spaces, along with a children's area, an auditorium, a computer lab, and an audio-video collection. The downsizing accounts for the reshuffling of several collections, such as the Centralized Children's Room and the World Languages Collection, which were previously located at Donnell and have since been moved to other branches.
"The librarians' approach was to move some of the collections originally at the Donnell, which didn't fit together in the first place, to locations which would be more convenient for the users of those collections," said Dave Offensend, Chief Operating Officer of NYPL.
Library-goers can currently find the Media Collection at the Library for the Performing Arts and the World Languages at the Mid-Manhattan Library, which will eventually be merged with the flagship branch.
With most of the library located on subterranean levels, TEN Arquitectos set out to create what Steele describes as a "light and airy experience" that assuaged "everyone's concern that their cultural institution had been relegated to a mall, and worse, a basement of a mall." The firm accomplished this by creating a glass frontage through which light filters into an open terraced seating area that will be used for a variety of activities, such as special events, reading, or gathering.
"The stepped landscape and open plan will create a gradation of public and private spaces for reading and studying," said Steele. "The light and sound will intuitively tell you how to behave."
The space will be a mix of concrete and glass, featuring minimal touches such as perforated metal panels cladding the walls. "All the materials are very modest in their actuality, but we wanted them to be experientially rich."

Dialectical Behavior Therapy
What Is DBT?
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) was developed to treat interpersonal chaos, intense emotional swings, impulsiveness, confusion about self-identity, and suicidal behavior. It was developed at the University of Washington by Marsha M. Linehan, Ph.D., ABPP, and is based on the theory that problems develop from the interaction of biological and environmental factors, which together create difficulty managing emotions.
DBT is appropriate for a range of problems that relate to emotion dysregulation, including substance use, eating disordered behavior, and anger-related issues. Research shows that DBT appears as effective or more effective than other psychotherapies for these kinds of problems.
The ultimate goal of DBT is to create a life worth living. To achieve this, the therapy balances empathy and warm acceptance with an unwavering focus on changing problem behavior (problem solving). Through this balance, DBT aims to help change the behavioral, emotional, and thinking patterns associated with problems in living, while promoting the development of and reliance on inner wisdom.
For more information please email: email@example.com
DBT has been found to be the most helpful for problems related to the following:
- Rapidly shifting emotions that are difficult to manage
- Extreme emotional states that interfere with daily activities
- Impulsive behavior associated with emotional extremes including self-harm and suicidal behavior
- Difficulty managing and expressing anger
- Lack of a sense of self or identity
- Feelings of emptiness
- Difficulty in interpersonal relationships
There are two main elements of DBT:
Dialectics: DBT is based on the idea that opposites can coexist and be synthesized. This means weighing out various points of view in any situation and constantly working on balancing an effort to change things with accepting things as they are.
Behavior Therapy: Behavior therapy is based on the study of how things are learned. It focuses on helping people change ineffective ways of coping by learning new ways of coping and getting things done. It focuses on specific goals that can realistically be attained. For the most part, it is a "doing" therapy rather than a "talking" therapy.
Weekly individual psychotherapy:
- Areas of desired change are identified
- An understanding of what contributes to the problems and interferes with change is developed
- New and more effective alternatives are learned
- Individual sessions are approximately 50-minutes and meet once per week for one year
Skills training classes:
- Specific skills that are essential for managing emotional distress are learned
- Skills classes are two hours long and meet weekly for one year
Between-session coaching with therapist:
- This provides an opportunity for "real-life" coaching for using the skills being learned
Program Director and Supervisor
Jamie Bedics, Ph.D., ABPP, is the clinical supervisor and director of the dialectical behavior therapy training program at Cal Lutheran. He completed a clinical fellowship at the DBT Center of Seattle where he was trained by the leading experts and trainers in DBT. Over the past several years he has worked with the developer of DBT, Marsha Linehan, Ph.D., ABPP, on research examining the role of the therapeutic relationship in DBT. His current research interest involves the implementation and assessment of evidence-based psychotherapy training at the pre-doctoral level.

Ideological Litmus Test 101
Are you more or less likely to buy a book that boasts, on its cover: "Preface by Mumia Abu Jamal, Foreword by Ward Churchill"?
Eugene Volokh does not find the credibility of the author of "Islamophobia: The Ideological Campaign Against Muslims"—who happens to be a professor at the University of South Carolina—enhanced by those associations. (In his post, he focuses mostly on the conclusion of an academic committee that Churchill falsified scholarly evidence and plagiarized.)
I would just add that the author's (or publisher's?) move seems tactically unsound, as it assumes that the universe of people interested in a sympathetic depiction of American Muslims coincides with those who admire Jamal and Churchill. That's hardly self-evident.

Iron(II) sulfate (British English: iron(II) sulphate) or ferrous sulfate denotes a range of salts with the formula FeSO4·xH2O. These compounds exist most commonly as the heptahydrate (x = 7) but are known for several values of x. The hydrated form is used medically to treat iron deficiency, and also for industrial applications. Known since ancient times as copperas and as green vitriol (vitriol is an archaic name for sulfate), the blue-green heptahydrate (hydrate with 7 molecules of water) is the most common form of this material. All the iron(II) sulfates dissolve in water to give the same aquo complex [Fe(H2O)6]2+, which has octahedral molecular geometry and is paramagnetic. The name copperas dates from times when the copper(II) sulfate was known as blue copperas, and perhaps in analogy, iron(II) and zinc sulfate were known respectively as green and white copperas.[15]
It is on the World Health Organization's List of Essential Medicines, the most important medications needed in a basic health system.[16]
Industrially, ferrous sulfate is mainly used as a precursor to other iron compounds. It is a reducing agent, and as such is useful for the reduction of chromate in cement to less toxic Cr(III) compounds. Historically ferrous sulfate was used in the textile industry for centuries as a dye fixative. It is used historically to blacken leather and as a constituent of ink.[17] The preparation of sulfuric acid ('oil of vitriol') by the distillation of green vitriol (Iron(II) sulfate) has been known for at least 700 years.
Medical use
Together with other iron compounds, ferrous sulfate is used to fortify foods and to treat and prevent iron deficiency anemia. Constipation is a frequent and uncomfortable side effect associated with the administration of oral iron supplements. Stool softeners often are prescribed to prevent constipation.
Ferrous sulfate was used in the manufacture of inks, most notably iron gall ink, which was used from the middle ages until the end of the eighteenth century. Chemical tests made on the Lachish letters (c.588–586 BCE) showed the possible presence of iron.[18] It is thought that oak galls and copperas may have been used in making the ink on those letters.[19] It also finds use in wool dyeing as a mordant. Harewood, a material used in marquetry and parquetry since the 17th century, is also made using ferrous sulfate.
Two different methods for the direct application of indigo dye were developed in England in the eighteenth century and remained in use well into the nineteenth century. One of these, known as china blue, involved iron(II) sulfate. After printing an insoluble form of indigo onto the fabric, the indigo was reduced to leuco-indigo in a sequence of baths of ferrous sulfate (with reoxidation to indigo in air between immersions). The china blue process could make sharp designs, but it could not produce the dark hues of other methods.
Sometimes, it is included in canned black olives as an artificial colorant.
Ferrous sulfate can also be used to stain concrete and some limestones and sandstones a yellowish rust color.[20]
Woodworkers use ferrous sulfate solutions to color maple wood a silvery hue.
Plant growth
Iron (II) sulfate is sold as ferrous sulfate, a soil amendment[21] for lowering the pH of a high alkaline soil so that plants can access the soil's nutrients.[22]
In horticulture it is used for treating iron chlorosis.[23] Although not as rapid-acting as ferric EDTA, its effects are longer-lasting. It can be mixed with compost and dug into the soil to create a store which can last for years.[24] It is also used as a lawn conditioner,[24] and moss killer.
Other uses
In the second half of the 1850s ferrous sulfate was used as a photographic developer for collodion process images.[25]
Ferrous sulfate is sometimes added to the cooling water flowing through the brass tubes of turbine condensers to form a corrosion-resistant protective coating.
It is used in gold refining to precipitate metallic gold from auric chloride solutions (gold dissolved in solution with aqua regia).
It has been used in the purification of water by flocculation and for phosphate removal in municipal and industrial sewage treatment plants to prevent eutrophication of surface water bodies.[citation needed]
It is used as a traditional method of treating wood panelling[clarification needed] on houses, either alone, dissolved in water, or as a component of water-based paint.[citation needed]
Green vitriol is also a useful reagent in the identification of mushrooms.[26]
It is used as the iron catalyst component of Fenton's reagent.
In the early 19th century, chemist Friedrich Accum discovered that in England the dark beer porter often contained Iron(II) sulfate as a frothing agent.[27]
Iron(II) sulfate can be found in various states of hydration, and several of these forms exist in nature.
- FeSO4·H2O (mineral: Szomolnokite,[7] relatively rare)
- FeSO4·4H2O (mineral: Rozenite,[8] white, relatively common, may be dehydratation product of melanterite)
- FeSO4·5H2O (mineral: Siderotil,[1] relatively rare)
- FeSO4·6H2O (mineral: Ferrohexahydrite,[2] relatively rare)
- FeSO4·7H2O (mineral: Melanterite,[9] blue-green, relatively common)
The tetrahydrate is stabilized when the temperature of aqueous solutions reaches 56.6 °C (133.9 °F). At 64.8 °C (148.6 °F) these solutions form both the tetrahydrate and monohydrate.[4]
All mentioned mineral forms are connected with oxidation zones of iron-bearing ore beds (pyrite, marcasite, chalcopyrite, etc.) and related environments (like coal fire sites). Many undergo rapid dehydration and sometimes oxidation.
Production and reactions
In the finishing of steel prior to plating or coating, the steel sheet or rod is passed through pickling baths of sulfuric acid. This treatment produces large quantities of iron(II) sulfate as a by-product.[28]
- Fe + H2SO4 → FeSO4 + H2
Another source of large amounts results from the production of titanium dioxide from ilmenite via the sulfate process.
Ferrous sulfate is also prepared commercially by oxidation of pyrite:
- 2 FeS2 + 7 O2 + 2 H2O → 2 FeSO4 + 2 H2SO4
Upon dissolving in water, ferrous sulfates form the metal aquo complex [Fe(H2O)6]2+, which is an almost colorless, paramagnetic ion.
On heating, iron(II) sulfate first loses its water of crystallization and the original green crystals are converted into a white colored anhydrous solid. When further heated, the anhydrous material releases sulfur dioxide and white fumes of sulfur trioxide, leaving a reddish-brown iron(III) oxide. Decomposition of iron(II) sulfate begins at about 680 °C (1,256 °F).
- 2 FeSO4 → Fe2O3 + SO2 + SO3
Like all iron(II) salts, iron(II) sulfate is a reducing agent. For example, it reduces nitric acid to nitrogen monoxide and chlorine to chloride:
- 6 FeSO4 + 3 H2SO4 + 2 HNO3 → 3 Fe2(SO4)3 + 4 H2O + 2 NO
- 6 FeSO4 + 3 Cl2 → 2 Fe2(SO4)3 + 2 FeCl3
Upon exposure to air, it oxidizes to form a corrosive brown-yellow coating of "basic ferric sulfate", which is an adduct of iron(III) oxide and iron(III) sulfate:
- 12 FeSO4 + 3 O2 → 4 Fe2(SO4)3 + 2 Fe2O3

Autofill Probe Fiber Gasket
Paper composite 17 x 13 x 2 mm.
|Teknofluor Srl
The hiss of a broken gasket alerted me to the need for replacement of my LM Linea autofill steam boiler sensor gasket. Espresso parts diagram blowout identified part and I ordered an autofill probe fiber gasket. Cleaned out remains of old gasket with warm water and a brush. Installed new item, perfect fit and reassembled operation. Steam leak gone and boiler autofill working correctly. Thanks EspressoParts, you couldnt have made it any easier.
My La Marzocco Linea single only makes a few espresso daily in my home. I perform all maintenance myself and heard a steam leak from the steam boiler fill sensor. Replacement was simple using the Autofill Probe Fiber Gasket and an adjustable wrench. Original lasted twelve years, so I bought two. I purchase all my repair and maintenance parts from Espresso Parts.

Ethiopia sells off seven state firms, to offer more
(HornTrade) - * Eyes privatisation of another 40 firms
* Rules out airlines, telecoms and banks
Ethiopia has accepted bids worth 2.1 billion birr ($121 million) for seven state-owned firms, part of a plan to privatise dozens of corporations in the next three years, it said on Thursday.
The Horn of Africa nation, whose state-dominated economy ranks among the fastest growing in the world, aims to sell around 40 enterprises, including several large farms, a winery and a big hotel.
The Privatisation and Public Enterprise Supervising Agency accepted an 860 million birr bid from MIDROC Ethiopia for one of the country's biggest farms, Upper Awash Agro-Industry Enterprise, said agency spokesman Wondafrash Asefa.
MIDROC Ethiopia is owned by Saudi-Ethiopian billionaire Mohammed Al Amoudi, who is one of the world's richest men according to Forbes magazine.

I'm not anti-vaccine by any means, but I do believe in being informed about what is going into my kids' bodies and why. I followed a modified vaccine schedule, spreading shots out a bit even if it meant more needles, because I didn't like the idea of overwhelming their little immune systems with multiple vaccines all at once. By the time Kenyon was born, giving newborns vitamin D supplements was standard practice. I declined, because really, it would be an effort to not get enough vitamin D in Denver, with its more than 300 days of sparkly bright sunshine.
In preparation for our trip, a phone appointment with our insurance's Travel Clinic informed me that Sam and I would need Tetanus/Whooping Cough and Hepatitis A vaccines, and both older boys would just need the Hepatitis A vaccine (Kenyon had already had it, as it was standard by the time he came into the world).
|Jackson, at 3 years old
The doors opened and we stepped out into the parking garage elevator lobby, where Jackson's legs buckled, body collapsed, and he lay there totally unresponsive on the ground.
|Jackson, at 5 years old
Time stopped for me there, with my son lying limp on the tile floor. With no one around to help and me unable to lift him, I had to drag his seemingly lifeless body into the elevator to get back up to the main lobby. Alex was awesome; I'm sure he was totally freaked out inside but he stayed calm and I didn't notice it at the time but he swiftly picked up all the stuff that I had dropped and rode in the elevator with me.
|Jackson, at 7 years old
Turns out he just fainted; they said it's fairly common for boys to hold their breath while they get a shot and then it catches up to them a few minutes later when they're on their feet.
He was completely back to normal a short time later, but me? I am ready to either spend some time locked away in a mental institution or at a spa. Given our finances, an institution seems far more likely.
Who finagled me into this having-children-that-you-love-more-than-life-itself business? I could be sipping Mai Tais on a beach with my biggest worry being deciding between the conch fritters or the lobster tail for dinner instead of trying to make peace with the terrible predicament of a mother desperately loving three human beings and not being able to protect them from life's dangers. What worries me most is that in the grand scheme of things, this fainting incident was super minor, and it almost took me down for good.
There's no way I'm going to survive parenthood.

Ohio Gov. John Kasich, mirroring the moves of other newly elected Republicans, proposed a two-year budget Tuesday that would close an $8 billion gap by selling prisons, reshaping Medicaid and sharply cutting aid to cities.
Mr. Kasich said his proposal would help local governments offset their loss of state contributions by making it easier for them to share services and by erasing a requirement that they pay prevailing union wages on construction projects.
Pending legislation that would curtail public-employee bargaining rights also would help local governments deal with the cuts, he said. That bill, which passed the state Senate and is expected to pass the House, sparked weeks of protests from tens of thousands of union members and their supporters.
