Getting to Know Chicago's Neighborhoods
When I moved to Chicago in August 2012, I heard it everywhere: "Nothing beats a Chicago summer!" It was 85 degrees, and sunshine practically swept people into the streets and parks, and onto the beach. The energy was electrifying. Smiles enveloped every face I biked past.
Then, four months later, when Winter's cold heart exposed itself, I realized, yes, that claim was true! Nothing beats a Chicago summer…when compared to its winter!
So, in celebration for all that locals consider great about the Windy City, let's consider a warm-month visit and soak it all up!
Chicago is split into neighborhoods that bleed one into the other. Each has its own feel–it's undeniable. We're going to hop around some of the most popular, which includes some of my favorites, and tour the town together.
Where to Stay
There are hundreds of hotels from which to choose in Chicago. And it's all about personal preference. Some love the glamour of Michigan Avenue, some prefer the neighborhood charm of Old Town. Here are a few suggestions:
- Chicago Athletic Hotel — off Michigan Avenue across from Millennium/Grant Park. Boasts a renovated, Titanic-like decor.
- Hotel Lincoln — off Clark Street, across from the park, just on the border of Lincoln Park and Old Town. Great rooftop bar overlooking the lake and park.
- The Drake Hotel — off the Magnificent Mile, on the edge of the Gold Coast, one block from Lake Shore Drive Bike Path.
How to Get Around
- Rent a bike. You can either visit a bike shop to rent by the day or week, or rent a Divvy city bike (Chicago's rental program). Make sure to dock your bike at various ports around town every 30 minutes or you'll get charged extra.
- Walk, walk, walk!
- Drive, though parking is infamously difficult in Chicago.
- Uber.
- But really, just bike!
- Explore Millennium and Grant Parks, between Lake Shore Drive and Michigan Avenue. This is where the annual music festival Lollapalooza is held. Go for a run; take a stroll; grab a bite to eat at the cafe next to the water exhibit; stand under The Bean and photograph your reflection.
- Walk up and around the bridges that cross the Chicago River, even consider going on the architectural boat tour.
- Stop into the Art Institute of Chicago. Don't forget to look up and marvel at the intricacies of the design and structure.
- Bike up and down Lake Shore Drive by the marina.
- Some favorite, healthy downtown restaurants include:
- Protein Bar, with various locations downtown, is an ideal option for a fast, super healthy meal.
- Lyfe Kitchen, just north of the river, offers vegetarian, vegan options.
- Green Zebra, for vegan fare.
- Some favorite social hangouts downtown include:
- Hub51, off Hubbard Street, is a hotspot for socializing. Day, evening, nighttime, it's always busy.
Old Town
Between Lincoln Park and the Gold Coast, this charming neighborhood draws a ton of young professionals and families. Delicious restaurants, popular (but not clubby) bars, hilarious comedy shows, and boutique as well as mainstream shops.
- For a butt-kicking workout, check out SproigSport or GoCycle.
- Grab breakfast at Nookie's in Old Town off Wells Street. Their breakfast foods are traditional and consistent, and it's a true neighborhood favorite.
- Walk or bike to North Avenue Beach for some volleyball, people watching, a dip in Lake Michigan. Stop into Castaways (the huge boat-like structure on the beach) for a drink or a snack.
- Head back to Wells Street to people watch and catch a comedy show at the famous Second City or Zanies (2 drink minimum). (The shows sell out quickly; consider buying tickets earlier in the day.)
- Dine at Old Town Pour House (gorgeous decor) or Kamehachi.
- And then cap the evening off with a drink at Old Town Social off North Ave.
Lincoln Park
The hub of DePaul University, Lincoln Park is known for its college-town appeal, the free, walkable zoo, its proximity to the lake, and sports bar. However, even if way past that college stage of life, don't fret, here's where and what to do to avoid that:
- Sweat it out at Yoga Six or any of the other dozen studios in the area.
- Sit outside at Dunlays on Clark for brunch. Omelettes, salads, sandwiches, perfection!
- Bike or stroll around the neighborhood streets, especially the street on Fullerton Ave between Clark and Lincoln. Stunning!
- Burwood Tap off Wrightwood, Gaslight Bar and Grille, and D.O.C Wine Bar are a few local favorites.
Wicker Park/Bucktown
To the west of Lincoln Park, Wicker Park/Bucktown is a booming neighborhood, drawing hipsters, creatives, and young professionals and families alike.
- Hop into an OrangeTheory class off North Ave. just west of the highway. You'll thank me after.
- Enjoy a taco brunch at Big Star and stay for a drink and/or the people watching.
- There are a few small parks in the area so, while you walk around and explore, stop into one or two to sunbathe in the grass.
- You can also bike on the 606 trail that used to be a railroad.
- Dine at Peace Pizza for a slice and a salad and a beer, or Native Foods Cafe off Milwaukee for a health-filled vegetarian meal.
- Be a local and hang at Bucktown Pub for a bit that evening.
Lakeview: Wrigleyville/Boystown
Just north of Lincoln Park, Lakeview is filled with serene, quaint streets, as well as craziness from the ballpark and the local gay scene. There's something for everyone.
- Stop into the Lakeview Athletic Club for a weight workout or a fitness class, or walk across the street to the UFC fight gym for a challenging, punch-throwing workout.
- For some delicious, health-conscious food, stop into Chicago Diner, a vegetarian restaurant even the meatest of meat eaters enjoy.
- Or, visit Cozy Noodles 'n' Rice for Asian cuisine or Pick Me Up Cafe for an extensive menu for all taste buds and dietary preferences.
- Then head north a bit toward Montrose Beach for a run in the sand, some volleyball, or another dip in the lake. From there, start moving inland and a bit south again toward Wrigleyville/Boystown.
- Head toward the Cubs stadium. Don't let its partying/drinking/frat-boy reputation deter you from exploring Wrigleyville. Restaurants and bars line the streets, inviting locals and tourists to stay for a game. Scalp a ticket a few minutes after the game has started, or watch a game at the Cubby Bear or any of the other dozen bars up and down Clark and Addison Streets.
Lincoln Square
An area of town filled with families, it's growing more popular and it's main drag is adorable.
- For the CrossFit lover, check out CrossFit Defined off Lawrence.
- Seattle Sutton's Healthy Eating is a healthy meal planning service. Visit the location off Damen.
- Stroll the square, stopping into coffeeshops off Lincoln Avenue, maybe see a movie at the theater, and then at night, though not in Lincoln Square, head a bit southeast toward Uptown to the Green Mill, a Chicago staple for its historic music scene.
What is missing from these lists are the long-awaited neighborhood street festivals that enliven the streets in various parts of town during the summer weekends. Check the schedule here and book it there. Food, music, drinking, socializing–you'll find it all.

Simple gifts?
Light at the end of the tunnel? Or a train coming the other way?
Something rather more chewy here.

The middle section sounded like a rather curious mixture of "All Creatures of Our God and King" and "Lord of the Dance". Do either of these tunes have any particular siginificance for Barack H. Obama? Or maybe they weren't in fact the tunes they sounded like?

Pliable, I can't tell if you're being sarcastic or not. Very cryptic though. As for the John Williams piece, I rather liked it. I was fearing the worst, but I thought it was quite good.
And Andrew, it sounds like you're not familiar with "Simple Gifts" or Copland. It has the same melody as "Lord of the Dance." It's a nice tune and ever since Copland used it in Appalachian Spring it has always had a special place in Americana.

Urg urg urg, Simple Gifts was a SHAKER HYMN written by Joseph Brackett. All the other versions are arrangements or appropriations.
It's possibly one of the most American pieces of music there is -- something written by an American, for Americans.
It was a perfect and appropriate tune to arrange for the occasion. The text is as follows:
'Tis the gift to be simple, 'tis the gift to be free,
'Tis the gift to come down where we ought to be,
And when we find ourselves in the place just right,
'Twill be in the valley of love and delight.
When true simplicity is gain'd,
To bow and to bend we shan't be asham'd,
To turn, turn will be our delight
'Till by turning, turning we come round right.

Aaaaaaaaaaand because I can't shut up on this topic, and missed my calling as a musicologist -- Simple Gifts is also, in a way, a distillation of American music and American music history.
Our musical tradition was built and developed around religious music -- Puritan hymns, Shaker hymns, shaped Note hymn singing, spirituals, etc. There is a certain American "sound" or style that is embodied in Copland, and it is the direct influence of the music on which the US was built.
While there are many Big Names in the classical music tradition from the US, the true representatives of our musical culture are composers like Alice Parker, Moses Hogan, H.T. Burleigh, Samuel Coleridge-Taylor and yes, Copland.

Email received:
Am I alone in being disturbed by how similar Williams's treatment of Simple Gifts to that of Copland? The first appearance of the tune in the clarinet in the same register; the lightly bustling accompaniment...

Thank you Kyle, Pliable, and others, for the enlightenment here and in the post above. I'm not familiar enough with Copland, and my familiarity with Shaker musical tradition is limited to the adaptation of "Simple Gifts" by Sydney Carter in his hymn "Lord of the Dance". It is interesting that the opening of "Simple Gifts" is almost identical to the opening of the hymn tune "Lasst uns erfreuen" to which the hymn "All creatures of our God and King" is usually sung. A shared musical path in the distant past, perhaps?

And now we learn the musicians were miming to a recording. I would not have planned to feature instruments that can't be played effectively in cold weather as part of an outdoor event in January.

Federal officials are investigating allegations that Uber is systematically paying women less than men in a new discrimination investigation.
Spearheaded by the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, the investigation into the company's practices, which includes whether they discriminated against women during the hiring process, began nearly a year ago in August 2017, reports The New York Times.
The ride share service appears to be stalling in the public eye in its attempts to reroute after last year's news of a toxic workplace culture including allegations of harassment, retaliation, and discrimination. Uber's new CEO, Dara Khosrowshahi, has apologized for this predecessor's mistakes and told Fortune he takes "sole responsibility."
When reached for comment, Uber's spokesperson told Refinery 29: "We are continually improving as a company and have proactively made a lot of changes in the last 18 months, including implementing a new salary and equity structure based on the market, overhauling our performance review process, publishing Diversity & Inclusion reports, and rolling out diversity and leadership trainings to thousands of employees globally."
News of sexism and sexual harassment at Uber is far from breaking. A former engineer at the company, Susan Fowler, made headlines at the start of last year with her brutally honest blog post highlighting the shortcomings of the company which spurred on an internal investigation looking into company culture. Earlier this month, Uber's head of HR, Liane Hornsey, who was originally tasked with turning around internal issues, resigned.
The time frame for the allegations has not been disclosed, so whether the complaints have continued after Uber's attempts at improvement is unclear. What is clear is that Uber has a long road ahead as it attempts to recoup from yet another dent in it's public image.

I have a Frenzy and love it. It is great for surf use. I have no problems flipping off and climbing back on it.
Prior to this I had a sit in that I would surf in. Unless you are real good at rolling, it gets real old real fast swimming it to shore and draining it.
I am not familar with the other ones you posted, but I would make sure it has a nice pointy front, rather than a blunt nose. I had rented a sit on top that had a less pointy tip. It was not as good at slicing through the surf when paddling out.

Dyson vacuums are a popular choice for home cleaning devices, but do a quick online search and you'll discover there are more models from this brand on the market than you can probably name.
If you need a little help deciphering all those numbers and letters and deciding which vacuum model to buy, check out our side-by-side comparison of two upright models: the Dyson Ball Compact Animal (formerly DC50 Animal) and the Dyson Ball Multi Floor (formerly DC65 Multi Floor).
Dyson Ball Compact Animal (formerly DC50 Animal)
- Price: $449.99 retail price
- Weight: 11.6 pounds
- Cord Length: 25 feet
- Accessories: Tangle-free turbine tool, combination tool, stair tool
NerdWallet takes you shopping: With a regular retail price of $449.99, the Dyson Ball Compact Animal (formerly the DC50 Animal) is the more expensive of the two vacuums in our comparison.
But before you decide this model is sucking up too much of your money, take a look at some of its features. Capable of cleaning carpets and hard floors alike, this Dyson boasts ball technology for efficient steering, two tiers of cyclones for powerful suction and a tangle-free turbine tool for convenient removal of pet fur. Additionally, its 11.6-pound weight makes this device easy to transport.
One possible drawback? The maximum reach of this model is just 28 feet — compare that to the 51-foot reach of the DC65.
Also important to note: This model is no longer sold directly from Dyson's website. It can still be purchased from third-party sellers, often for less than its regular price.
Good fit for: Pet owners who want a powerful and lightweight tool for cleaning up Fido's hair.
» MORE: Dyson Ball Multi Floor review
Dyson Ball Multi Floor (formerly DC65 Multi Floor)
- Price: $399.99 from Dyson
- Weight: 17.3 pounds
- Cord Length: 35 feet
- Accessories: Combination tool, stair tool
Let us help you find the best deals.
NerdWallet takes you shopping: Similar to the preceding model, the DC65 Multi Floor boasts a washable lifetime filter, self-adjusting cleaner head and ball technology, among other features. Despite these shared components, the two devices are easily distinguishable, and the differences between them extend beyond just their appearance (the DC65's accents are bright yellow, while the DC50's are purple).
For example, the multi floor vacuum — touted by Dyson for its strong suction — has a 35-foot-long cord, giving users 10 more feet of access for large rooms than the DC50. Perhaps most appealing of all is the DC65's price. It's $50 less than the DC50.
However, there are some downsides as well. Weighing in at 17.3 pounds, this model is nearly 6 pounds heavier than the preceding one (something residents of two-story homes may want to keep in mind). Additionally, this Dyson lacks the tangle-free turbine tool that's designed for pet hair removal.
Good fit for: Consumers who want a reliable vacuum from a trusted brand that can seamlessly transition from carpets to floors.
Still not sure if either of these vacuums is the right one for you? Head over to our Vacuum Buying Guide for more tips on what to look for in a Dyson or any other type of vacuum cleaner.

For some of us.
And many of us don't have many beats left.
But me, and Huey and the band, we still got some life left in us. Some Heart and Soul
The night I first met Huey I was unashamedably, intolerably bored
And made sure everyone was thoroughly aware of it.
We hadn't even been able to get into the show that night. We had arrived late to see Aerosmith and had our first run in with what would come to be known as the Aerocops. We were accustomed to the old days when bad behavior was rampant among the band and crew,we knew each and every one and had for years, but it had become completely out of control. We had no doubt no matter when we arrived we would be given superstar treatment.
But that was not at all the case.
All the clowns in the car had been given the boot and replaced by a crack team of big burly intimidating and invincible security force whose entire job was to keep girls like us and people from the past (when the band was dirty messy messed up bad boys and the crew and the crew even worse) as far from the backstage as was humanly or mechanically possible. So we headed for the only hotel in town to wait for the party to come to us, when it was clear all we were shit out of luck.
I was in the bar, sulking and sighing, deep heavy shoulder shrugging sighs as only a young beautiful teenager can get away with, especially when surrounded by willing men only in town for one night, sucking down white Russians, supplied by a crew member from the warm –up band, a group I had never heard of, somebody –something and the News.
Frankly just from the name I concluded they wouldn't be out-of-place when my mom forced the car radio knob out of my fist and turned it to the (shudder) fifties station. "You see that guy over there? " the crew guy says. " I looked at a figure slumped over the bar looking, if possible, even more dejected than I had flaunted, hunched over , eyes downcast as if he wanted nothing more than to get sucked into and vanish inside his pint of beer. That's Huey. What's hooey? I rolled my eyes. I was so over this evening before it had even gotten started. The other half of The Infamous Sherry fairies was charming a baby-faced black-haired pretty boy about 12 and doing rather well at it which was even more annoying to me, especially when I saw the aero cops hustle the band and the crew straight through the lobby like prisoners to be kept under guard all night safe in their rooms.. "Huey," pretty boy smiled," is a singer, and has pretty well-known, I'm in his band the news. And has also a brilliant songwriter too. He wrote that song on Dave Edmund's album 'Bad is Bad'"
I sat up as if my bar stool was on fire. Now, I am the world's biggest Rockpile fan. If its got anything to do with Nick and Dave I am ALL IN! and as for Terry… well those are all another story for another day. But he drums like lightning pulsing up from the ground and shooting to the heavens though his sticks… Billy aint bad either. I LOVE THAT BAND.
Immediately I went from miserable pop tart to tiny fan girl and flew across the room as fast as my wings could carry all 97 pounds of me. I grabbed hooey around the waist and practically lifted him off the stool gushing over meeting the guy who wrote my all-time fav songs of the moment. He lit up like a fuse on fire. He was so gosh darned pleased that somebody, anybody, to be thrilled to see him those days. Opening for Aerosmith had been a nightmare. Certainly one of the world's worst band pairings in rock and roll history. The band fans hated them and their fans hated Aerosmith.
And that was the start of t hirty plus years of friendship… he's a total gentleman, a wonderful human being and truly a class act all the way around.
One thing with Huey he does have a type LOL but always a well behaved boy! No dirt to throw here! He's one of the best of the bunch.

Diary Boxed Set
This is the first English translation of his Diary, the most Polish and the most universal of Witold Gombrowicz's work. Gombrowicz (1904-1969), who left Poland at age thirty-five and never returned, whose writings were banned in his own country, has had an impact on Polish literature unlike any of his contemporaries. But he changed more than the image of Polish letters. If literature cannot influence national character, it can at least influence the national image, its understanding and evaluation of itself. That is what Gombrowicz changed: the image and stereotype of the Pole.
"I am absolutely sure that this translation will be considered a great event in American intellectual life." --Stanislaw Baranczak
"Having this book in my hands, I felt a joy at the thought that strong personalities like that of Gombrowicz, sooner or later find recognition thanks to the sheer intensity of their existence." --Czeslaw Milosz, New York Review of Books

Take your server to the cloud and reclaim your office space while eliminating management and hardware expenses.
Everybody has heard of 'the cloud,' but many businesses are unaware of the many benefits that cloud hosting can offer.
By hosting your server and other mission-critical equipment in a reliable, properly managed data center, your business will have less hardware to maintain. This means more space, reduced electricity consumption, and less overhead. Best of all, a hosted infrastructure can be managed by our IT experts to ensure constant reliability, stability, and uptime. We ensure that your data is always redundantly backed up, and antivirus and security protection is handled in-house.
Revolutionize your IT
Stop purchasing expensive hardware only to pay to administer, maintain, and manage it.
A cloud based data center provides secure, reliable access to your servers. Forget about security patches, software updates, and hardware management. The cloud environment is very scalable, giving you the resources your business requires.
Business Computing
Easily access files and applications from anywhere—flexible, mobile, and always on.

Access applications like Microsoft Office, Outlook/Exchange, and the software applications you use to run your business such as your accounting suite and CRM tools. In other words, it's your IT environment hosted in a data center. You won't lose functionality, but your business would benefit from drastically reduced overhead and increased cost-savings.

« Cigarette Use Drops As Teens Getting Hookah-ed on Smoking | Main | Court Upholds $1M Award in N.Y. School Race-Harassment Case »
Parent's Guide to Drug Prevention Updated
From guest blogger Michele Molnar
Today's adolescents and teens face a much different drug landscape than did those raised in the late 1990s, which is one reason the U.S. Department of Education and the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) updated an in-depth guide for parents.
"Growing Up Drug-Free: A Parent's Guide to Prevention (2012)" is a 55-page booklet covering an array of topics to educate parents and caregivers about how to address this issue with their children.
Originally published in 1998, the revised publication gives parents ideas about how to talk with their children about drugs, and what to do if families believe their children are using illicit drugs and alcohol.
Among the parental myths the booklet aims to dispel are these:
- My child isn't exposed to drugs and wouldn't do them anyway.
- It's normal for kids to experiment with drugs.
- I can't change my child's future.
- My kids don't care what I think.
- It's okay for me to use because I'm an adult.
- I don't want to alienate my child by being too strict.
The publication gives parents an idea of what substances kids use, from the usual suspects—tobacco, alcohol, and marijuana—to the less anticipated, like inhalants accessed via household products, anabolic steroids, and synthetic stimulants called "bath salts."
Reading the newest version of this publication, with its real stories of drug use and abuse, is sobering for any parent who reads it in the soberest of states.
Pictures in the booklet will help parents and caregivers identify unfamiliar drugs and paraphernalia they might find in their homes.
The Education Department and DEA are clearly hitting a nerve with their target audience. As my colleague Ross Brenneman wrote here recently, Los Angeles parents' enthusiasm for a drug testing program has motivated the district to expand it.
Parents who don't know what to do about drugs and alcohol will clearly get new ideas from this updated, free resource, which was released in October.

The Writers Guild of America West and East have sent out a "Wish List" summation of their goals for the upcoming negotiations with the major studios. Here is the missive sent to membership:
To Our Fellow Members,
Approval of a Pattern of Demands is a constitutionally-required step as we prepare to negotiate a new Minimum Basic Agreement (the current contract expires on May 1, 2011). The Pattern does not detail specific proposals that will be made during negotiations but is designed to inform the memberships of our two Guilds of the general objectives we will pursue.
We are writing to ask for your support in the form of a YES vote in favor of the enclosed Pattern of Demands. This Pattern comes to you unanimously recommended by our Negotiating Committee and is presented for membership approval by the WGA West's Board and the WGA East's Council.
Your sacrifices during the last negotiation and the WGA's 100-day strike led to historic advances in the areas of new media residuals and jurisdiction over writing for new media. While there is no such single galvanizing issue in the current negotiation cycle, this does not mean there is a lack of important objectives to be achieved in the upcoming negotiations. The new MBA must address the long term financial stability of the WGA Pension Plan and Health Fund, provide increases in our wages and improve working conditions. These objectives, and a number of others, are reflected in the enclosed Pattern.
The Pattern of Demands is the result of a continuing dialogue with our members conducted over the past three years. As a result of this process, we are confident that this Pattern will meet with your approval.
Please submit your ballot before January 24, 2010. Outreach meetings, e-mails, website postings and other communications will continue in the months ahead to further engage and mobilize writers.
Thank you for your attention to this first step in our negotiating process.
John Wells
President, WGA West
Michael Winship
President, WGA East
2011 Pattern of demands
Increase minimum compensation in all areas.
Substantially increase upset price.
Add CW as a network.
Increase residuals for made for pay and made for basic cable programs.
Further address reuse in new media.
Increase home video residuals.
Increase funding for MBA compliance programs.
Increase contributions to Pension Plan and Health Fund.
Address problems in the employment process, such as "prewrites," sweepstakes pitching and one-step deals.
Limit option periods for renewal of employment on episodic series.
Improve the communication process between the network/studio and writers in episodic television.
Amend definition of "professional writer" to include writing for new media.
Create and fund a Screenwriter Training Program.
Increase funding for the Showrunner Training Program.
Provide that separated rights include the use of a principal character in a musical or stage production.
Expand Guild coverage in other areas where WGA members can be employed, including motion capture, animation and videogames.
Establish minimums for certain ancillary uses of Appendix A programs.
Strengthen the requirements regarding employment guarantees for daytime writers.
Require unique project identifying codes, e.g., ISAn number, to be listed on notices of Tentative Writing Credits.
Expand arbitrator lists for grievance and arbitration.
Modify requirements for work lists and other information submitted by Companies.
Add credits schedule for theatrical documentaries.

Access to Justice
Access to justice
Content of the Convention
Access to Justice
The third pillar of the Convention (article 9) aims to provide access to justice in three contexts:
- review procedures with respect to information requests
- review procedures with respect to specific (project-type) decisions which are subject to public participation requirements, and
- challenges to breaches of environmental law in general.
Thus the inclusion of an 'access to justice' pillar not only underpins the first two pillars; it also points the way to empowering citizens and NGOs to assist in the enforcement of the law.
Access to information appeals: A person whose request for information has not been dealt with to their satisfaction must be provided with access to a review procedure before a court of law or another independent and impartial body established by law (the latter option being included to accommodate those countries which have a well-functioning office of Ombudsperson).
The Convention attempts to ensure a low threshhold for such appeals by requiring that where review before a court of law is provided for (which can involve high costs), there is also access to an expeditious review procedure which is free of charge or inexpensive. Final decisions must be binding on the public authority holding the information, and the reasons must be stated in writing where information is refused.
Public participation appeals: The Convention provides for a right to seek a review in connection with decision-making on projects or activities covered by article 6. The review may address either the substantive or the procedural legality of a decision, of both.
The scope of persons entitled to pursue such an appeal is similar to, but slightly narrower than, the 'public concerned', involving a requirement to have a 'sufficient interest' or maintain impairment of a right (though the text also states that these requirements are to be interpreted in a manner which is. consistent with 'the objective of giving the public concerned wide access to justice').
General violations of environmental law: The Convention requires Parties to provide access to administrative or judicial procedures to challenge acts and omissions by private persons and public authorities which breach laws relating to the environment. Such access is to be provided to members of the public 'where they meet the criteria, if any, laid down in national law' - in other words, the issue of standing is primarily to be determined at national level, as is the question of whether the procedures are judicial or administrative.
Other access to justice requirements: The procedures in each of the three contexts referred to above are required to be 'fair, equitable, timely and not prohibitively expensive'.
Decisions must be given or recorded in writing, and in the case court decisions, made publicly accessible. Assistance mechanisms to remove or reduce financial and other barriers to access to justice are to be considered.
For more on the content of the Aarhus Convention, please refer to the Implementation Guide.

The flu, and it really sucks.
Well, hello old friend.
It had been a long time since the last update. Why I hear you ask? Well, first of all I moved house. The Meinohama place had to be vacated, so I spent a quick few weeks with friends looking for somewhere to live and paying an extortionate amount of money just to walk into the place, of which I get bugger all back.
And I've still been trying to get on top of full time work. I now really understand people who live for the weekend. It's the oasis between working days. I've had a little respite today 'cause I've had the flu. But I think I should go to work tomorrow and infect everyone I possibly can, starting with the boss.
I've been back to Australia, had a 23 hour stop over in Shanghai, been snowed on while cycling around the back streets of Fukuoka lost looking for anything the guide me home and generally discovered the importance of keeping the poo stains out of the toilet.
I don't really have the brain power to keep this going today. I feel like adding some more things to the site, like what book I'm currently reading and so on. I tend to tear through them at breakneck speed, which is a shame because I tend to have no recollection of what it was about. Also things like what music I'm listening too and so on.
For the nerds out there, I'm on a 40Mb ADSL connection. But the ADSL modem acts as a firewall, and I don't have any access codes to get into it yet. And all the pages about it are in Japanese ;-) so I think it'll be a 5 minute cron job to upload the information as needed. I've also undergone two crashes on lump. One involving a full reinstall of debian (thankfully my personal data, email and music survived) and another with windows. I didn't lose anything with the windows crash except time.

Section Five: Chapters 16-18 Summary
Mark and Jonas are shipped to Achnacarry Castle in Edinburgh, Scotland for training for their mission. Brigadier Smith advises them they are to be called Mr. Butler and Mr. Wilkes before he sees them out on their train. The men arrive at the castle at nearly the same time, though Jonas is not as winded as Mark. Sergeant McShane shows the men to their room and advises them to always wear the toggles they are provided. The next day they are taken on a tour of the grounds and assessed by the instructors. Stern excels in many of the exercises, while Mark proves proficient with a rifle. At the mess hall, other trainees take offense to Stern's German accent and they wind up in a fight. Later, Jonas is called into the commander's office alone where he...

Sunita's gyan to kids: Listen to your mother, shun drugs
American astronaut of Indian origin, Sunita Williams on Thursday charmed the students of Mumbai, who had gathered at the Nehru Science Centre to listen to her experiences in space travel.
Even as students were jostling for space to get a view of their 'space icon', Sunita Williams appealed to Indian children to take more interest in space exploration.
"I am really looking forward to India's participation in the space programme in a big way," she said. The NASA astronaut said, "space programme entails a lot of creativity and requires great imagination. Follow your dreams to realise your creative potential."
Speaking about the International Space Station, Williams said "it is a collaborative venture, where different countries are actively participating. It has brought the world together."

Sunita's gyan to kids: Listen to your mother, shun drugs
During her interactive lecture, she made a video presentation on her latest -- Expedition 33, which was launched from Biakonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan on July 15, 2012.
The video, which began with narrating the preparatory drill for a space travel, also showed the working environment inside the space station, nature of experiments conducted, performance of space walk, etc.
Later, Williams, who was greeted by a municipal school student from Byculla, was asked who were her role models.
"My parents are on the top of the list of my role models," she said, adding, "I also know a lot about Mahatma Gandhi and also heard about Mother Teresa".
Williams appeared enthusiastic about the "space tourism" concept, saying it would provide more people the chance to experience the thrills of space.
She also advised students to shun drugs and alcohol.

These are great father/son pictures! In the photo where Evan is walking with his Dad, Evan's expression says it all. "Look at Dad and me! We are having fun!"
Lots of love from Grandma Barby and Grandpa Bob
Great photos–such a range of expressions. I agree with Barbara and Bob–particularly liked the walking photo–it captures so much. Nice one in advance of Father's Day! Love, Grandma Hill

The final eclipse of the year, is opening a portal within and without, letting the deep healing, cleansing waves of Neptune into the depths of our soul.
After the burning and purification on the last New Moon Solar Eclipse 1st September, Neptunes healing and spiritual waves of love will heal, soothe and nourish our very soul. The Moon represents our emotional needs and who we are at a deep down soul level. We are remembering who we really are.
Our inner Shaman is once again being activated in us all. The part of you that connects directly to the true source of the universe. Who teaches us how to stop living from the ego, and start loving your true, authentic self. Who, intuitively knows where our mind, body and spirit needs healing and which path to take, that will take us to the next evolutionary level of our development. Helping us to reclaim our lost power to heal, see the truth, and fulfil our purpose in life.
Within you is a greater, wiser self that knows no fears, worries, but is infinite and boundless.
An eclipse opens a portal, releasing waves of energy that is available to us all, giving us a rare opportunity to get in touch with and listen to the inner voice of our intuition, our inner knowing and wisdom, our inner compass. Together with Mercury retrograde, we have a rare opportunity at this eclipse to look into the depths of our soul and to access the inner wisdom knowing and healing powers. Ultimately helping to elevate us to a higher and evolved state of being and existence. Neptune, the ruler of Pisces, is in her own sign and invites us to let its energy wash over us helping us to gain insights and heightened awareness, enabling a huge shift in consciousness.
This is heart opening energy.
We are at a deeply significant turning point on our life path. So that we can start anew, following our new life path towards our true life purpose.
Your inner knowing will show you the right path for you, based on your spiritual wisdom at a soul level. We each came to this world with an inner knowledge and purpose imprinted upon our soul. The door to this deep inner wisdom will be opened illuminating our soul's plan and wisdom.
We need to let go and trust the flow and our inner voice. The universe has a higher plan, but may not align with our egos plan. Yet we know with hindsight, often when things went wrong, we were actually being redirected to something much better.
We need to go where the love is.
Many are feeling the call to become healers now.
"The plain fact is that the planet does not need more successful people. But it does desperately need more peacemakers, healers, restorers, storytellers, and lovers of every kind. It needs people who live well in their places. It needs people of moral courage willing to join the fight to make the world habitable and humane. And these qualities have little to do with success as we have defined it."
The time has come now. It's time to regain our faith in ourselves and humanity. We are now and will continue to get, better equipped than ever before, to live and practice happier and more successful relationships in our lives.
Let the real love in.

Well, well, well, here we are again. I swear, I feel like I am in that movie, "Groundhog Day". If Ned Ryerson repeatedly stops me on the street and does the whistling belly-button trick like he did at the High School reunion, well, let's just say I won't be surprised. As you may have already heard, Shane Victorino is hurt...again. Thankfully it is not as severe as last year, but it does appear that we are going to be without the Flyin' Hawaiian in the lineup, as least through the weekend.
Victorino was scheduled for an off-day Thursday as he apparently tweaked his right hamstring while trying to steal second base in the Red Sox game against Tampa Bay Wednesday night. The Red Sox will take it easy with Vic since he is no stranger to hamstring issues, not to mention he is still recovering from his back surgery last July. "It's frustrating. I was feeling good, feeling great and it's basically more of the same. You work hard and you feel so good out there, you're doing everything, and they you go and steal a base and you feel it. You're like, 'What? Where did this come from?'"
With 16 games into the season and Victorino already experiencing hammy issues in the same area as last season, it is leaving the whole of Red Sox Nation wondering, "Is is time to start looking for fresher legs in Right Field?" It may be too soon to tell, but we would all be lying to ourselves if we said we weren't concerned.
One can't help but love this guy. Victorino plays hard. He beats himself up game after game (remember his crash into the wall Monday while trying to rope in the Caleb Joesph homer in the series against the Orioles?). He takes hits that would've put ol' Jacoby DL'sbury in a body cast for a year. But at 34 years old, coming off back surgery, and dealing with continually pesky hammies, can Victorino's body continue to handle his level of play?
Vic has played in 12 of the Sox's 16 games this season and is currently batting .143 (5-35) with no home runs and 2 RBI's. It's a slow and rocky start for the Flyin' Hawaiian, and we can't help but wonder what the rest of the season will hold. In the meantime, it looks like Daniel Nava will get the nod in right until Vic's return sometime this weekend.

Liverpool fans have been left furious with the decision to stage their visit to Norwich at 12pm on Easter Sunday.
The Reds face a trip to the Canaries this weekend as they look to edge ever closer to their first league title since 1990.
The game is set to be televised by Sky Sports, but the broadcast company have decided to show all three Premier League games that day, meaning Liverpool fans are left with a 256-mile trip on Easter Sunday for an extra-early kick-off.
Hull City host Arsenal in a 2.05pm start, while Manchester United face a trip to Everton later that afternoon.
Sunday's first train from Liverpool Lime Street into Norwich does not arrive until nearly two hours AFTER the final whistle has blown at Carrow Road, leaving many supporters with a logistical nightmare to negotiate.
Season-ticket holder Anthony Devereux is planning to travel to Carrow Road via car, but was critical of the decision not to swap the time of the game with local rivals Everton who host United at 4pm.
"There's five of us in one car, and four in another," he told Mirror Online.
"We're leaving about 5am, but there is the Everton and Manchester United game that is kicking off 4pm.
"I know there isn't as big a rivalry as there is with Liverpool and United, but it's still there, especially with David Moyes going back [to Goodison Park].
"The reason they have the early kick-offs between rival teams is to stop people drinking early, so why couldn't they have swapped those two games?
"It's Easter weekend, so hotels are going to be more expensive, train fares go up, so you could have spent £200 before you've even got to the game."
A popular Liverpool fans forum was also littered with naysayers of the move, with one user named Brizzle reflecting: "12.00 is just a ridiculous time to hold a match of teams who aren't located near each other.
"I bet roads will be rammed and car parks over flowing on the day too."
Another user under the pseudonym of FoxForceFive fumed: "It's a complete joke, but until they replace the entire FA with an organisation that understands geography & basics of logistics it won't change."
Brendan Rodgers' side are four wins from their first league title in 24 years, although Manchester City's 2-2 draw with Sunderland on Wednesday means three wins and a draw at home to Chelsea will be enough for the Reds.

At first, the Washington Post ran with a sensationalist headline about how Russian hackers had penetrated the U.S. power grid.
Then, it was revealed that nothing had been penetrated – that there was malware found on a Vermont utility company employee's laptop. And the laptop wasn't connected to the grid.
Now, it's being reported that the malware was a very common malware, and it wasn't even necessarily associated with anyone from Russia.
I'm surprised Snopes hasn't weighed in to issue their verdict as to the veracity of the story – particularly how it was initially reported. By the mainstream media's definition, this was pure fake news. But I guess since Snopes and the Post are on the same team, there's no need to fact check them. Here's what the Post is now reporting:
Trending: Obama Forgot He is No Longer President, Shows Up at G20 Summit
U.S. officials are continuing to investigate the laptop. In the course of their investigation, though, they have found on the device a package of software tools commonly used by online criminals to deliver malware. The package, known as Neutrino, does not appear to be connected with Grizzly Steppe, which U.S. officials have identified as the Russian hacking operation. The FBI, which declined to comment, is continuing to investigate how the malware got onto the laptop.
Initially, company officials publicly said they had detected code that had been linked by the Department of Homeland Security to Grizzly Steppe.
Over the weekend, the company issued a statement, saying only that it had "detected suspicious Internet traffic" on the computer in question.
Experts also said that because Yahoo's mail servers are visited by millions of people each day, the fact that a Burlington Electric employee checking email touched off an alert is not an indication that the Russian government was targeting the utility.
So, they've gone from telling their readers that the Russians had penetrated the nation's power grid, to saying that there was malware on someone's laptop, and that it's probably nothing.

The federal budget has two practical purposes. One, the budget provides a financial record of federal revenue and expenditures. Two, the budget articulates the nation's priorities by allocating limited discretionary funds to various federal programs, such as funding for the National Science Foundation, U.S. Geological Survey, Environmental Protection Agency, and so forth.
Each spring, the Administration begins to work with federal agencies to prepare the budget requests for the following fiscal year. For example, federal agencies were working to develop their fiscal year (FY) 2021 budget during late 2019 to early 2020. The federal fiscal year runs from 1 October through 30 September.
The President sends a budget request to Congress each year on the first Monday of February. It is important to remember that the President's budget request is only a spending plan. It is not uncommon for Congress to make adjustments to a President's budget, particularly if the Congress and White House are controlled by different political parties with significant policy differences.
The congressional budget process begins with the receipt of the President's budget. Through the House and Senate Budget Committees, Congress determines the overall budget amount. Both chambers of Congress convene hearings to receive testimony from Administration officials, non-governmental policy experts, and other stakeholders. The outcome of these deliberations is a budget resolution (ultimately, a Concurrent Resolution when adopted by both chambers of Congress). Concurrent resolutions are non-binding (lack the force of law) and are not sent to the President.
Following adoption of the budget resolution, the appropriations process originates in the House Appropriations Committee. Subcommittees "mark-up" the 12 separate appropriations bills, each providing funds for specific federal departments and programs. Once approved by the Appropriations Committee, the appropriations legislation is sent to the full House of Representatives for consideration and subsequently the passed version is sent to the Senate. The process then repeats itself in the Senate, with the Senate Appropriations Committee drafting its own version of each of the 12 appropriations bills.
The House and Senate versions are rarely the same. Thus, a "conference" process is established in which leaders from both chambers work to reconcile differences in the legislation. Once a reconciled version of the legislation is approved by the House and Senate, the measure is sent to the President to be signed into law or vetoed.
The AIBS Public Policy Office (PPO) provides members of the biological sciences community with timely information about developments in the federal budget and appropriations process. Additionally, AIBS policy staff work to ensure that federal lawmakers understand how their actions relative to federal spending for scientific research impact biological sciences research and education. To this end, AIBS routinely provides formal and informal testimony to decision-makers in Congress and the Administration.
Testimony submitted by AIBS to Congress from 2005-present

Shannon Szabados recorded the shutout and seven different Canadian players scored in a 10-0 win over Switzerland at a pre-Olympics exhibition game on Sunday.
Blayre Turnbull (Stellarton, N.S./Calgary, CWHL), Natalie Spooner (Scarborough, Ont./Toronto, CWHL) and Brigette Lacquette (Mallard, Man./Calgary, CWHL) scored two goals each.

"I think at the end of the day the reason why my line was successful is because we stuck to the game plan," said Turnbull. " We knew going into the game we wanted to get pucks deep and below the dots in the other teams end and we were rewarded for that."
Spooner and Lacquette finished with three points each, while Laura Fortino (Hamilton, Ont./Markham, CWHL) and Mélodie Daoust (Valleyfield, Que./Montreal, CWHL) had a goal and an assist apiece. Meghan Agosta (Ruthann, Ont./Hockey Canada), Marie-Philip Poulin (Beauceville, Que./Montreal, CWHL) and Jennifer Wakefield (Pickering, Ont./Linkoping HC, Swe) added a pair of helpers.
The only goal came quick in the first frame, with Fortino scoring 65 seconds into the game. By the end of the second period, Canada held a 6-0 lead and a 19-5 advantage in shots on goal peppering Swiss netminder Florence Schelling.
Canada continued their push in the second, which included a goal from Renata Fast (Burlington, Ont./Toronto, CWHL) — her first in international play.
Switzerland plays in Group B at the Olympics with Sweden South Korea and Japan. Canada will face Group A teams in the preliminary round including Finland, Olympic Athletes from Russia and the U.S.
It is Canada's first time playing female teams since they defeated the U.S. 2-1 in Edmonton on Dec. 17. Canada won five of the six games in the pre-Olympic exhibition series against the U.S., losing only the opening match by a score of 5-1. The Canadian women's national team had otherwise playing against Alberta midget boys teams throughout the season, their last game on Jan. 21.
Spooner said it didn't take much to get back to playing against female teams.
"It took us a little bit of time to adjust but it felt great out there and just getting some momentum moving into our first game in the Olympics," she said.
Team Canada landed in South Korea earlier this week and have been practicing, getting use to the time change and having some fun on the ice.
WHAT ARE THOSE!!!!! eyes🤷♀joyWhen your skates need a quick sharpen & @bayo291 comes to the rescue with these?? Just out for a rip & a laugh! @HC_Women #wheninSouthKorea #noedges #goodtimes pic.twitter.com/FfhY8BRyDW— Natalie Spooner (@natspooner5) February 4, 2018
The women's national team also played the Kwangwoon University men's team in Incheon, South Korea. Canada won 4-0, with Poulin, Bailey Bram, Renata Fast and Haley Irwin netting the goals.
While the exhibition matches, serve as good preparation, Spooner said the reality of getting to play again in the Olympics will sink in soon.
"I think just getting to the village. We go (Monday) and then I am looking forward to the opening Ceremonies, that was definitely a highlight at the last Olympics just walking in with a bigger Team Canada than just your own team."
Canada officially moves in to the Olympic village on Monday, Feb. 5 and their first preliminary competition takes place on Feb. 11 at 7:10 a.m. (EST) against the Olympic Athletes from Russia. They will then face Finland on Feb. 13 at 2:40 a.m. (EST) and finish out preliminary play against the U.S. on Feb. 14 10:10 p.m. (EST).
The U.S. women's team held their first day of practice at the Kwandong Hockey Centre on Feb. 3 as they prepare to fight for the gold medal, having last won the top prize when the sport introduced at the Nagano 1998 Olympic Winter Games.
The U.S. will face Finland in their first preliminary game on Feb. 11, then take on the Olympic Athletes from Russia on Feb. 13 before playing Canada on Feb. 14.

Homework helps students to understand material more deeply. However, some people believe that homework does not bring any benefits. Personally, I think that this issue has some advantages and disadvantages. In this essay first I will focus on the reasons why I support this idea about daily homework and then I will move on to analyzing its disadvantages.
From the one side, daily homework brings many benefits. As I already mentioned, it helps students understand subjects more deeply. Also, young people learn how to arrange their time to have all things done on time. In addition to those practical benefits daily homework teaches students how to make their own research if something is not clear. Curiosity is one of the main reasons that leads a person to a success. Students learn to make their research, work with different kinds of informational resources such as an Internet, books, magazines, journals and newspapers. I think it is a great experience and it is very good for a long run.
From the other side, daily homework can bring many disadvantages. For instance, if a person has no interest in biology, but has a huge interest in music he has to spend his precious time doing his homework and reading uninteresting books instead of spending this time practicing new melodies. Another important aspect of this that a student can have no time for his physical activities. So, basically, doing daily homework will not keep him in a good shape.
To sum up, I think that an intermediate position can be taken. For example, a student will have to do his daily homework if he is going to specialize in this field in the future.

In my country, so many children have to study from 7am to 9pm. I think it just makes them feel stress, but parents think that is good for their kids. And I thought that other countries, especially in Europe, there were not homework for students, they just did it in class. Hmm.
In your case: If you can not avoid it, you should accept it with a positive thinking.
Relax before and between doing homework.
Manage your time, I'd like to introduce a website: Study Guides & Stragies
