Webcast Recap
"Collectively, the impact of humanity on the way the planet works is enormous and headed in disturbing directions," said George Mason University professor Thomas Lovejoy in January at the first in a monthly series, "Managing the Planet," led jointly by George Mason University and the Woodrow Wilson Center. The series will focus on how to take "environmental management to the scale of the entire planet," as climate change, increasing energy consumption, and population growth place increasing stress on natural resources. We need to "chart a better course for the human future," said Lovejoy.
Joining Lovejoy at the kickoff meeting were Dennis Dimick, executive environment editor at National Geographic, and Professor Molly Jahn of the University of Wisconsin-Madison.
Signs From Earth
"The entire human enterprise is based on the assumption of a stable climate," said Lovejoy. The "most dramatic part of the story" in recent decades has been the melting of ice in the Arctic and in the mountain ranges of tropical zones. At current rates, tropical glaciers will completely disappear within the next 15 years. Though scientists predicted it would last until at least 2015, Bolivia's Chacaltaya glacier – once renowned as the world's highest elevation ski area – was reduced to a "few lumps of ice" in 2009, according to the BBC.
Glacial melt has raised water temperatures, altered species migrations, and threatened water supplies, coastal ecosystems, and the communities that depend on them, said Lovejoy. Higher ocean temperatures also cause the "fundamental partnership" between coral reefs and algae to break down, and "the Technicolor world essentially goes black and white," he said.
Ocean acidification, fresh water shortages, melting glaciers, pollution, forest fires, and a "vast whipsaw" of temperature and weather extremes are just some of the effects human consumption has had on the planet, said Dimick. "It's a sign from the Earth. It is telling us, 'not all is well.'"
Finding Balance
As the world's population nears seven billion this year, "we have one planet, yet we live like we live on four," said Dimick. National Geographic's new series "Population 7 Billion" seeks to answer the questions, he said, of "how do we find balance? How do we find ways to lower the intensity of our demands on an Earth that is telling us it is strained?"
Finding solutions to these challenges will require us to "look forward and confront the future," said Dimick. "We need to rethink our whole global energy system," he said, and "rethink our basic premise about what we need, as opposed to what we want."
The global emissions limit of 450 parts per million (ppm) of carbon – the level needed to achieve the two-degree warming limit agreed upon at Cancun and Copenhagen – "is probably too high," said Lovejoy. Most scientists agree that 350 ppm is a safer level; however, the world is already at "390 and climbing," he noted, and global temperatures are projected to rise two degrees Celsius by 2035. If we want global warming to stop at two degrees, carbon emissions will need to stop growing by 2016, he said.
Figuring Out "Plan B"
"We have a problem that is presenting itself in a whole host of ways, with urgency that cannot be denied or dismissed," said Jahn. "The way we do agriculture is a very significant contributor" to that problem, she said. Today, in the United States, "we waste 40 percent of the food we grow," she said.
"Plan A…was about maximizing productivity at all costs," said Jahn. "It looks like we may need another plan." But figuring out "Plan B" will require steps by both policy and science communities. "We still have enormous gaps in our understanding towards even the basic science platform upon which these very important decisions about ways forward lie," she said.
Managing the planet must begin with managing data so that we can "transition between data, information, and knowledge, and march this information out to…those making decisions that matter," said Jahn. The information management structure that developed in the medical sciences and led to the creation of the National Library of Medicine is a useful model for managing the planet, she argued. "Personalized medicine" for the planet would allow people to use data to make better decisions about who should be doing what and where.
Using and expanding the knowledge base is a crucial step towards bringing together the science and policy communities on an international scale in search of solutions to managing the planet. "If we work together, we can change the world," said Dimick.

About Die Sterne
Die Sterne are one of the more influential bands to arise from the Hamburger Schule (i.e., Hamburg school) of German rock. Like most of their peers, they're hard to pin down stylistically, as they draw from post-punk, new wave, and funk as well as contemporary indie sounds (primarily pop, rock, and electronica). They're perhaps best differentiated by their attitude, which is upbeat and quirky, with an inclination toward colorful expression. There's also a funky and slightly danceable undertow to the band's style of rock music that makes it especially inviting. Consequently, their music is fun and broadly appealing -- creative enough for critical appreciation, if not accessible enough for pop crossover. Die Sterne reached their commercial apex in the late '90s; Wo Ist Hier (1999) was the band's highest-charting album, peaking at number 27 on the German album chart, though Posen (1996) and Von Allen Gedanken Schätze Ich Doch am Meisten die Interessanten (1997) tend to be more generally revered in hindsight. Die Sterne slowed their output after the turn of the century, switching distribution from Epic/Sony to V2/EMI and losing some of their commercial clout in the process, partly because of their decreased level of activity and partly because of their stylistic experimentation. Back catalog reissues such as Wichtig + Fickt das System (2004) and Die Interessanten: Singles 1992-2004 (2004) kept pace with new album releases during this period. Though Die Sterne didn't debut in their present form until 1992, singer/guitarist Frank Spilker had been active in the Hamburg rock scene for years as a solo artist, affiliated with the seminal label Fast Weltweit in the mid-'80s, during which time he coined the band name for himself and released a couple 7" singles as such (Ein Verregneter Sommer [1987], In Einer Nacht Wie Dieser [1988]). Songs from these singles were featured on a pair of 1988 Fast Weltweit compilations, Der Rote Cassetten-Sampler and Der Blaue Cassetten-Sampler, alongside music from Jetzt! (Michael Girke), Der Fremde (Achim Knorr), Die Bienenjäger (Jochen Distelmeyer, Thomas Wenzel), Die Time Twisters (Andreas Henning, Jürgen Jahn, Frank Jacobs), and Bernadette Hengst (Bernadette La Hengst). Following the dissolution of Fast Weltweit in the wake of the aforementioned cassette samplers, Spilker assembled a band to accompany him in Die Sterne. Besides himself on vocals and guitar, the band included Thomas Wenzel (bass, vocals), Frank Will (keyboards), and Christoph Leich (drums). A 12" EP, Fickt das System (1992), marked the band's debut, released by the influential independent Hamburg-based label L'Age d'Or (aka Lado). A full-length album, Wichtig (1993), followed, commencing a steady stream of full-lengths throughout the remainder of the decade: In Echt (1994), Posen (1996), Von Allen Gedanken Schätze Ich Doch am Meisten die Interessanten (1997), and Wo Ist Hier (1999). Moreover, each of these albums was accompanied by numerous maxi-singles well stocked with versions and remixes. In terms of compilations, Stell die Verbindung Her (1998), an album comprised of cherry-picked songs from Posen and Von Allen Gedanken, was released internationally, and Unter Geiern (1995) was a two-fer comprised of Wichtig and In Echt. During the mid- to late '90s, Die Sterne grew steadily in popularity. They charted better with each album release and eventually reached number 27 on the German album chart with Wo Ist Hier in 1999. This rise in popularity was partly on account of a major-label distribution deal with Epic/Sony from 1996 to 1999, beginning with Posen. It was also partly on account of the band's concert performances, which notably included a North American tour in 1998 sponsored by Das Goethe-Institut, an international German language school. Such popularity gave the bandmembers license to experiment. Will and Wenzel contributed music to the soundtrack of the film Der Strand von Trouville, while Spilker and Leich contributed to the film Dunckel. Plus, Wo Ist Hier, the band's final album with Sony, was a major stylistic departure from previous releases, showcasing a willingness to experiment freely with electronics -- to the dismay of some fans who felt the band had outgrown its roots.
In the early 2000s Die Sterne took a rest, releasing nothing whatsoever in 2000 or 2001, not even a maxi-single. Keyboardist Frank Will left the band during this period and was replaced by Richard von der Schulenburg, who also maintained a semi-regular solo career. Upon signing a distribution deal with V2/EMI, Die Sterne then mounted a return to the marketplace in 2002, releasing first the Nur Flug EP, followed by the Irres Licht album. A concert tour accompanied the album release, and Live im Westwerk (2003) captured one of the band's performances from this tour for posterity. In 2004 Die Sterne returned with another EP and album, In Diesem Sinn and Das Weltall Ist zu Weit, respectively. Also in 2004 the band, in conjunction with Rough Trade, reissued its debut album and EP as Wichtig + Fickt das System and issued the CD/DVD compilation Die Interessanten: Singles 1992-2004. Die Sterne then returned to the studio in time and recorded Räuber und Gedärm (2006), which was warmly greeted by fans and critics and was more commercially successful than their previous effort. ~ Jason Birchmeier

Probably the most frantic day so far, but very enjoyable!
John Sexton and I based ourselves for the day in Lockerbie PS as part of the Build-a-space event. Several folk appeared with their interesting requests but, perhaps the most striking request was from 4 young men from S6 in Lockerbie Academy who were looking for an online space for one of their projects.
They are supporting the transition of local learners from various P7 classes to S1. Their clever idea is to film various aspects of school life and make the videos available to P7 learners online. Before the end of the discussion, we had also added a conversation tool, a #helpmelearn system and a flavour of school events.
Over the day we developed a demo site and, if you have a Glow username and password, you'll see it being tested over the next wee while here at #movingonla. Once we're happy, this could be a template that is reusable for other clusters to use.
As every day this week, a great part of my day is to check up on the stories. Oh and somewhere along the way, John and I found time to tune into the Brydekirk LearnMeet on Glow TV.
Finally, Education Scotland Film Unit (aka Iain Fyfe) and Lorna Purdie of DGC hot-footed it from filming St Michael's learners and joined us in the library for interviews with P4 learners who started the #meandglow conversation. Our aim is to have a presentation ready for the next meeting of the National Digital Learning Forum!


text: How To Email & Messaging When to Use 'Reply All' in Email Group Messages Do you really need to reply to everyone in a group message? Share Pin Email Print Roy Hsu/Photographer's Choice RF/Getty Images Email & Messaging Tips & Tricks Gmail Tips & Tricks Yahoo Tips & Tricks Outlook Tips & Tricks Basics Guides & Tutorials Installing & Upgrading Key Concepts VoIP by Heinz Tschabitscher A former freelance contributor who has reviewed hundreds of email programs and services since 1997. Updated November 12, 2018 153 153 people found this article helpful If it's good to reply, it should be even better to reply to all. Right? Not always. If the reply is really important to all the recipients, then a "Reply All" should be used. Some reply all scenarios are due to mishaps where one recipient doesn't realize they clicked or tapped that option. Most, however, are likely due to the fact that the person doesn't realize when to send Reply All messages. Either way, it's generally annoying to the other people involved in the group message. Using proper email etiquette, whether in the workplace or socially, is incredibly important. This is why it's best to use Reply All cautiously. When to Reply All Use your email program's Reply All feature only when your reply will be necessary to know for the original sender and all people in the original email's To: and Cc: fields. Do not reply to all when: Only the original sender needs to know your reply,Your comments will be crucial to know for the original sender and a few other recipients.Do a normal reply in this case, and then add the select other recipients manually. You can copy their addresses from the original email if that helps.Your message is simple like "Thanks!" or "Me too."Thank you notices might be just fine to send, but don't send them to every other recipient. Only the sender really needs to be aware of how you feel about the message, not every other person in the group. Reply all should be reserved for special cases only. It should only be used if you need to send the same message to every single recipient in the group. Otherwise, if you don't need to do that, you should reply to only the relevant individuals. This may be just replying to the sender or using the Cc: or Bcc: fields for multiple, specific recipients. As an example, consider getting an email asking if you'd like to come to a retirement party this weekend. Pretend it was sent to 30 other people and you're asked not only if you're going but if you can bring some food or help out in some other way. It's not usually appropriate in this situation to send a reply to everyone else and explain that you can't go because you have to work this weekend and that your child is sick anyway, so it's not a good weekend for you. Those details are relevant to the sender but probably not to everyone else that was invited. There are, however, times when you should reply to all and when you're expected to reply to all. Maybe it involves a group discussion about a work project or something else that directly involves the other recipients. No matter the case, you should always think it through before sending a mass email out to others. It's even worse when a few people are sending reply all messages one after the other, and you get a dozen emails in the span of a minute or two. Those are not only hard to keep track of but also annoying if you have no need to read them. Continue Reading

Are you called to be a Deacon?
If you are in the process of discerning God's call to serve the Church in the ministries of Charity, Word and the Eucharist as an ordained deacon in the Diocese of Camden, you are invited to contact the Office of the Diaconate for more information about the Inquiry Stage. Our telephone number is 856-583-2858.
The Inquiry Stage is designed to help you and your wife (if married) to discern whether this call is to the Diaconate or perhaps to another important and holy role within the Church. As is the case with any vocation, the Church must also verify this call through a process of discernment. Because God speaks in quiet and subtle ways, we all enter into this process with open and prayerful hearts trusting that the Holy Spirit will lead us.
Any man interested in applying to the Diaconate Formation Program in the Diocese of Camden is strongly encouraged to attend one of the Information Sessions. The Information Sessions will provide those interested in the admissions and formation process with information and discussion about the Diaconate and the integration of ministry into family life. If you are between the ages of 30-55 and interested in applying to the Diaconate Program call 856-583-2858.
The Application Process
The Diaconate Office welcomes applications from men of all communities and backgrounds. In order for the Good News to be incarnate, it is necessary for the Church to have ordained ministers in all of the various communities. The presence and witness of deacons from all communities will assist in identifying community needs and advance the response of Christian service.
The man discerning a vocation to be a deacon for the Diocese of Camden should:
- Attend an Information Session
- Complete and submit the Confidential Questionnaire, which will be distributed during the Information Session
- Complete and submit the Formal Application and required documentation. This application is more extensive and detailed.
- Attend an interview with a member of the Admissions Board. Interviews are conducted for the applicant and his wife, if married.
Please note: Applicants must be aware that the participation in the admissions process does not guarantee that someone is automatically accepted into the first stage of formation which is Aspirancy.

So, how will the tech ecosystem in Ireland be affected by the loss of Web Summit? The FT reporter asked me on the phone last Thursday morning. I digested the question a moment as I paced the floor of my office. Will there be less funding for startups because Web Summit has moved away? Will our companies lose customers or their competitive edge? Will multinationals move their R&D teams out of Ireland? Nope, I thought. I couldn't see any of these things happening. "The ecosystem won't be affected at all" came my black and white answer, but already my brain was seeing color.
The Web Summit announcement was not a surprise to many of us. What surprised me was the public outcry and sense of loss that came with it. You'd think our best companies like Teamwork, Intercom, Movidius and CarTrawler were forsaking us for Lisbon, but they're not. They're staying right here in Ireland, despite a tax system that does little to support them. Ah. If only we could drum up a similar level of public outcry about taxes for indigenous tech companies!
Web Summit is a 3 day conference that gave us 5 great years, lets say all in all 20 great days, as the city at the center of the tech universe. Would I like 20 more days? Sure. But do we need that once a year global conference to keep our own tech economy moving forward and keep us focused on building great companies out of Ireland? No we don't. We already have what it takes to attract investors, media and others here all year long, so lets just get at it.
When this time last year someone suggested to me that Web Summit was the "Hail Mary" I needed to kick start my work in Dublin I was confused by the comment and remain so today. It's a terrible thing if we're relying on a conference to safeguard the reputation of our industry.
Whether they've attended Web Summit or not, most VCs and serial entrepreneurs in the US, for one, still think Ireland is a tax haven for multinationals and little else. Now, that's the kind of reputation we need to spend lots of time and money changing.
So please, lets wish Web Summit well and get back to focusing on the priorities. We're already working hard, sharing a positive attitude and creating thousands of great startups out of Dublin. Lets focus on that and how to secure Dublin's future as a global tech hub, year in and year out. Things like a strong angel investor community, unique collaborations between our multinationals and our startups, a tax system that supports our growing entrepreneurial culture, a recognition of the value of failure, and a belief in our ability to grow global companies. With these core elements in place, the rest becomes icing on the cake.
There are already multiple plans afoot to "fill the void" left by Web Summit. I recognize the importance of a conference of its size to the local economy and will be very supportive of these initiatives. But my real focus is on a complimentary and different set of priorities.
By the way, it looks like the only direct flights from the US to Lisbon are through Newark, NJ and Miami so we could still invite attendees to a meeting or two en route in Dublin.

West Palm Beach has acted to combat crime, poverty and homelessness, while moving to improve neighborhoods, attract business and create jobs, Mayor Jeri Muoio said Friday in her annual State of the City Address.
In her 20-minute speech at the Palm Beach County Convention Center, the mayor said her administration is countering many of the city's well-publicized difficulties over the past year and taking advantage of a strong economy to prepare for West Palm's inexorable growth. More than $2.3 billion of development projects are in the pipeline, she said.
"So where is West Palm Beach today?" she asked. "Business ready, economically strong, nationally and internationally recognized, with happy residents and a great team."
Roughly 900 people attended the breakfast event, including city and county officials, business and community leaders.

- An executive order that requires employers with federal contracts above $100,000 in value to post a notice in the workplace informing their employees of their rights under the National Labor Relations Act (NLRA), including the right to join a union. This repealed "Beck" orders that President Bush has put in place.
- A second order applies to federal contractors who provide services to government buildings. Under this new executive order, when a federal agency changes contractors, the new contractor will be required to offer jobs to the non-supervisory employees of its predecessor. This order is designed to try to ensure that when a unionized contractor is replaced, its successor will be obliged under existing labor laws to bargain with the original contractor's labor union.
- A third order prevents federal contractors from being reimbursed in federal funds for money spent to oppose (or support) union organizing efforts among their employees.
- A fourth executive order, dealing with what are called Project Labor Agreements, requires basically that all covered contractors with contracts of $25 million or more for federal construction contracts (defined as work involving construction, rehabilitation, alteration, conversion, extension, repair or improvement of builds, highways or other real property) use union labor.
All these orders are effective immediately.
So there you have it. Making sure the unions get some payback. And you thought it was all going to be through EFCA and RESPECT. I am suprised the ARRA ("stimulus bill" for you uninformed) does not require that everyone that is going to get a tax cut, tax break, unemployment, workers' comp or any other assistance or money become a union member. MMM.. maybe I should not speak too soon, afterall has anyone really had time to read the 1000+ pages???

A sailboat caught in Hurricane Julio more than 400 miles off the coast of Hawaii was accompanied by a surveillance aircraft early Monday, according to Coast Guard officials. The 42-foot Walkabout got stuck in Hurricane Julio's 115 mph winds and 30-foot sea-swells Sunday morning. Three people were aboard the vessel, which had taken on water and lost its life raft to the heavy winds, the Coast Guard said in a statement. An HC-130 Hercules airplane was deployed to deliver a replacement life raft and de-watering equipment, but the drop was hindered by the storm's forces and the plane had to turn around due to low fuel, the Coast Guard said. A second Hercules airplane crew arrived at the scene at 7 p.m. (1 a.m. ET) and will remain there until a 661-foot container ship arrives.
Julio was downgraded to a category 1 hurricane on Sunday night and is passing well north of the Hawaii, but the Islands' coasts would see heavy surf as a result of the passing system, according to the National Weather Service. The Big Island was still recovering from Tropical Storm Iselle, which knocked down trees and took out power lines on Friday.

ARGOMENTI: Seminars
Martedì 8 Aprile 2014, alle ore 16:00 in aula 1A150, Camillo De Lellis ( http://user.math.uzh.ch/delellis/ ) terrà una conferenza della serie Colloquia Patavina dal titolo "From Nash to Onsager: funny coincidences across differential geometry and the theory of turbulence".
The incompressible Euler equations were derived more than 250 years ago by Euler to describe the motion of an inviscid incompressible fluid. It is known since the pioneering works of Scheffer and Shnirelman that there are nontrivial distributional solutions to these equations which are compactly supported in space and time. If they were to model the motion of a real fluid, we would see it suddenly start moving after staying at rest for a while, without any action by an external force. A celebrated theorem by Nash and Kuiper shows the existence of C^1 isometric embeddings of a fixed flat rectangle in arbitrarily small balls of the threedimensional space. You should therefore be able to put a fairly large piece of paper in a pocket of your jacket without folding it or crumpling it. In a first joint work with Laszlo Szekelyhidi we pointed out that these two counterintuitive facts share many similarities. This has become even more apparent in some recent results of ours, which prove the existence of Hoelder continuous solutions that dissipate the kinetic energy. Our theorem might be regarded as a first step towards a conjecture of Lars Onsager, which in his 1949 paper about the theory of turbulence asserted the existence of such solutions for any Hoelder exponent up to 1/3. Currently the best result in this direction reaches the threshold 1/5.

Every Sunday we gather to worship Jesus. Will you join us? We would love to have you–no need to get super dressed up. Just come as you are! We start our services with a time of worship, and then you'll hear a message from our senior pastor, Kevin Schutt, that is sure to be relevant to your life today.
We offer kids' ministry for infants and toddlers, and kids pre-k through 5th grade are invited to kids' church, where they'll do an activity and hear a lesson that's geared to their learning level.
We'd love to meet you and hope to see you at church this Sunday!

IL-2 Sturmovik sequel in development
European publisher 1C has teamed up with flight specialists 777 Studios to create a new entry in the IL-2 Sturmovik series.
The first product of the new team will be IL-2 Sturmovik: Battle of Stalingrad. It will feature both single- and multiplayer content and is expected in early 2014, apparently exclusively on PC, where flight combat sim fans gather most thickly.
The initial client release will be followed by additional Stalingrad content and later other theatres of war built on the same technology, suggesting an almost episodic release plan.
777 has been brought on board thanks to its award-winning efforts with 2009's Rise of Flight: The First Great Air War.
1C vice president Nikolay Baryshnikov called 777 "one of the best flight-simulation developers in the world", and said it has "proven that their attention to detail and product quality speaks volumes about their talent and dedication".
Because no 1C press release is complete without an adorable declaration, he also said he hopes the new partnership will bring about a "new era of development and spirit of enjoyment" in "the combat flight-simulation community". Bless.
1C and 777 have dubbed their joint development team 1C Game Studios; the team will be led by managers from 777. 777 staff not involved in IL-2's development will continue to support the Rise of Flight series.

How the Monos May Give the Economy Mono
Most Americans don't know the difference between "monoline" and "mononucleosis."
Suddenly we're told the fate of capitalism rests on saving teetering monoline bond insurers from losing their AAA credit ratings. Today I report on how this all relates to you.
How They Make Money
The bond insurers protect payments to bondholders for things like a city's municipal bond to build a school, or a corporate bond backed by mortgages. They give these bonds the insurers' own AAA rating, even if the actual bond itself is worth, say, a single A. The difference between AAA and A is worth something, so the bond insurer charges issuers a portion of what that "spread" is worth. That's how it makes money.
Most of the bonds that insurers back are municipal bonds, which almost never ever default, so it's free money.
But the insurers wanted to make better money. So they began insuring corporate bonds backed by subprime mortgages--often charging higher premiums--assuming these, too, would almost never default. Now some of those bonds are looking shaky, since some of the mortgages aren't being paid, so the bond insurer has to cover those losses.
Now, the truth is, the insurers haven't actually had to pay that much in claims. The problem is, they're having to set aside billions of dollars JUST IN CASE a lot of claims come in. That means they don't have as much cash, and when you're an insurer, you only get a AAA rating if you have plenty of cash.
So now these monoline insurers are being threatened with the WORST THING THAT COULD HAPPEN: they lose their fantastic credit rating.
