The Dead Hour by Denise Mina
It's a shame Mina gets marketed as crime fiction -- she's a wonderful, close observer of character and class, with a sharp eye and tongue, this time setting down in 1984 Glasgow, with an Irish-Catholic take on the decline of the Scottish city.

Kafka: The Early Years by Reiner Stach
Kafka's surreal "otherworldly" style is seen hatching in turn of the century Prague, where, as a Jew, he struggled with linguistic, nationalistic and religious ghetto-ization as a native Czech.
I didn't know he was so fond of swimming, too.

Lady Prada sure knows how to create a spectacle.
During her years as a designer, she's played around with both plastics and metallis, monochromatic and kaleidoscopic colour palettes and has conjured up some of fashion's most eclectic and iconic sunglasses.
While they're not cheap, you could console yourself under a pair of her statement sunnies to act as a concealer, facelift, outfit-maker, no-night's-sleep-coverup and conversation-starter all in one! Not bad huh?
The right ones can not only hide a multitude of sins, but also transform the boring to the bizarre and the dowdy to the delightful, so it is worth hunting down the perfect pair.
Luckily, there is no need to look far, I've selected a few to peruse below, so take your pick for your dose of sunglasses pizazz this summer.
The first three are Prada; select from punky studs, a tortoiseshell cat-eye or even echo Jackie O with some iconic circular frames. Alternatively, shape up with some geometric shapes, obtain a perspex perspective or round off in the third pair, by Miu Miu.

The faces of 2019 Darling Downs road toll
AS TOOWOOMBA residents take to the roads in droves for the summer holiday, they are urged to exercise caution so everyone gets to their destination safely.
This year 55 people have died on southern Queensland roads, from Gatton through to Charleville and Kingaroy to Goondiwindi.
The current 2019 total is two less than the road toll for 2018.
Inattention and using a mobile phone while driving were the leading causes of fatal traffic crashes in the past five years.
About 42 per cent of fatal crashes were caused by a distracted driver.
Speeding was a factor in 30 per cent of those deaths, drinking or drugs were a factor in another 30 per cent.
About 14 per cent of fatalities involved a driver or passenger not wearing a seat belt.
Here are some of the crashes that shocked the Darling Downs in 2019.
Horror start
The year started with tragedy when Harold Lander, a doting grandfather, died after his van hit a tree on New Year's Day.
Mr Lander was returning a jumping castle to Crows Nest at the time.
Daughter, Tonya Elder, said he was loved by many.
"He was a funny old fella with the grandkids, tormenting them and laughing with them," she said.
GPS blamed for death
A 16-year-old learner driver was killed in a single vehicle crash on a unsealed section of the Nudley Forest Rd after she was led astray by her GPS software, on June 6.
The girl was driving with her mother, 46, who suffered serious but non-life-threatening injuries and was able to crawl free of the wreck.
The crash was on an isolated road and the mum waited about two hours before she could alert a passer-by.
The teen was one of 11 to die on our roads in a two-week period.
Three die in a day
Sunday, October 6 was a tragic day after three people died within 12 hours.
An 18-year-old Southbrook man, Justin Moore perished after he was thrown from his Toyota Hilux as it rolled from Jimna Springs Rd early in the morning.
He was not wearing a seatbelt.
Neil Carey, a 70-year-old Emu Vale farmer died between 1.45-4.15pm when his bulldozer rolled while cutting fire breaks on his property.
Julian Braybrook, a 20-year-old Toowong man died in a single vehicle crash at Lower Tenthill at 5pm after he lost control and crashed into a dry creek bed.
Police said speed was to blame after officers clocked Mr Braybrook doing speed in excess of 155km/h shortly before the crash.
Christmas tragedy
Two Lockyer Valley families were rocked when they lost loved ones two weeks before Christmas
Nine-year-old Zamuel Bennett was hit and killed by a van at Laidley on December 16.
Earlier, mother Julie Thomsen, 36, passed away on Saturday night when she was struck by a vehicle while walking along the side of the Warrego Highway.
The driver fled did not stop, prompting a police investigation.

The Webinar Litmus Test
There are two kinds of B2B publishers — those who charge for a webinar and those who don't.
This crystallized for me around a table at the SIPA conference here in Washington last week, talking about List Building & Audience Development. Someone raised the idea of gathering names using a free webinar. The publishers shook their heads. "Free?" one said skeptically. "That will cannibalize my webinar sales."
When's the last time you charged for a webinar? Did you know some publishers routinely get $295 or $495 per seat for webinars? I doubt 5% of the scores of B2B publishers I've worked with for the past few years ask attendees to tender anything other than their registration data. Paid content goes way beyond webinars, but they are a perfect benchmark.
All the talk in the media media is about The New York Times trying one thing or the Washington Post trying another. In B2B we don't have their challenges. Readers have unlimited choices in finding articles about politics or the latest breaking news. Not so much when it comes to valuable editorial for specific industries and markets. I am convinced it behooves all of us to at least test the sale of content.
With the right systems there are multiple ways to sell good information. I bet you have reports or special features worthy of subscriptions or pay-per-view. Why not try tiered content sales with a low threshold price? Charge more for the content which required a major research effort on your part. "Metering" allows you to find your most likely buyers before they register. The process of "creative gating" can let you test paid content in small and large ways across your online platform. A/B testing will tell you lots.
How's this for a great idea? We work with Success magazine, admittedly a bit B2Cish. They are riding the shift in content consumption to shorter, more manageable bites. They repurpose some of their long form content, breaking it into 5-7 minute podcasts, and charge $1.29. A buck twenty-nine! Is that a great price to break the barrier and get readers to reach into their pocket, or what? Success sells thousands of these.
SIPA, Specialized Information Publishers Association, represents what was used to be the newsletter industry but more accurately refers to itself as the business information industry. Along with ABM, SIPA merged into SIIA, the Software & Information Industry Association. ABM was the trade magazine industry, which somehow also took the Business Information name, confusing the hell out of everyone and making a merger inevitable. (I suspect this differs from the official history.)
They have much wisdom to offer each other. SIPA folks, as a rule, have a lot to learn about selling sponsorships and marketing services. The ABMers can sure use a reminder that some content is too valuable to just give a way. As was said at SIPA, unless you believe you can sell it, you can't.

Kenneth Sylvan Guthrie
Kenneth Sylvan Launfal Guthrie (1871-1940), philosopher and writer, was a grandson of feminist Frances Wright and brother of William Norman Guthrie, a Scottish-born Episcopalian priest who issued a series of translations of ancient philosophical writers, "making available to the public the neglected treasures of Neo-platonism".
Among his works was a translation of the complete works of Plotinus (1918). He was also an active prohibitionist. In addition he composed music and wrote poetry. He has been described as a "brilliant but eccentric scholar" by Manly Palmer Hall.[1]
Kenneth S. Guthrie was born in Dundee, Scotland, July 22, 1871. He attended school in a range of cities, including Florence, Lausaune, Frankfurt, Wiesbaden, Brussels, Hadleigh, Edinburgh, New York, St. Stephen's College, Annandale, N. Y.[2]
He graduated with a B.A., M.A., and G.D., from the University of the South in Sewanee, Tennessee, 1890 and 1893; a Ph.D. from Tulane in 1893; A.M., Harvard, 1894. In addition he qualified as an M.D., with three gold medals at Medico Chiurgical College, Philadelphia, 1903. A second Ph.D. was obtained at Columbia, 1915.
However he was never able to gain a foothold in academic life, and was forced to support himself by teaching children, freelance writing and lecturing. A number of his books were therefore written on subjects of popular interest, such as Rosicrucianism, for money.
He was ordained in the Protestant Episcopal Church as a deacon in 1890, and as a priest in 1897. He was then placed in charge of All Saints Church, New York. He held the post of Professor in Extension at the University of the South, Sewanee.
He taught French for five years. He also taught German and French for one term at South Brooklyn Evening High School in 1909-10.[3]
Among his publications before 1931 were The Philosophy of Plotinos; Complete Translation of Plotinos; Message of Philo Judaeus; Of Communion with God; Spiritual Message of Literature; Stories for Young Folks; Why You Really Want to Become a Churchman; Life of Zoroaster, in the Words of his Hymns; the Gathas of Zoroaster, Text, Translation, Criticism; The Mother-Tongue Method of Teaching Modern Languages; Limits and Mission of History of Education; Teachers' Problems, and How to Solve Them; and The Spiritual Message of Literature: A Manual of Comparative Literature with Topical Outlines and Lists of Useful Books for School, College, and Private Use.
An English translation of the Popol Vuh by Kenneth S. Guthrie, Ph.D., A.M., M.D., appears in The Word Magazine beginning in October, 1905 (Vol. 11, No. 1), and contained a valuable commentary.
The translationsEdit
The works that he chose to translate are often very obscure. Few of them had ever been translated into English before; in many cases they have not been translated since. In a number of cases French translations existed. He was accused in print of translating from the French, rather than the Greek, a charge he denied. However his translations are better where there was a preceding translation.
During his lifetime he was obliged to self-publish these books, and sell them by post in mimeographed form, often complaining of poverty and lack of recognition and support. Almost all of them have remained in print ever since.
The works of ProclusEdit
Guthrie was involved in 'resurrecting' Proclus. This he did by translating those of his writings which were neither too bulky nor already in print.
He was inspired to do this by a strange visit in 1924. A former Californian miner turned seaman named Emil Verch came to see him in his study at All Saints Church, N.Y. Verch told Guthrie that he had had a vision of a sage by the name of Proclus, giving lectures in a language unknown to Verch. When Guthrie told Verch about Proclus and his works, Mr. Verch begged him to spread the word about this writer by means of an English translation.
Verch had no money to finance the task he had set. Guthrie, in his own words, "tightened an already tight belt by one notch" and set to work. In the process he came to esteem Proclus as one of the greatest ornaments of humanity, approaching as near as possible to the ideal of the 'universal man', in whom every aspect of human nature is exercised and developed in mutual harmony.[4]
The slave-galleriesEdit
Before the abolition of slavery, there were facilities in New York for negro slaves. An early mentions of the term "slave gallery" to describe the strange spaces in All Saint's Church dates from a 1916 article in the New York Sun entitled, "Last Remaining Slave Gallery in New York." The article remembered the days of slavery in New York state, painting a somewhat nostalgic portrait of "pickininnies" crowding in the galleries while their Episcopalian masters worshipped below.
In 1921, the Living Church published an investigation of the "Slave Gallery" in what was by then a "venerable but little known Church," remembering the days when Episcopalians brought their slaves to church because it was their obligation to convert them or maintain their faith in God. The articles cited no sources for their stories of the slave gallery, both of which assumed that slavery was in full effect in the 1830s in New York though it was abolished in 1827, and implied that all African American New Yorkers were slaves, though even when slavery was legal, free blacks far outnumbered slaves.
These articles were based on interviews with Dr. Kenneth S. Guthrie, who became Rector of All Saint's in 1915 and was committed to bringing the stories of the slave galleries to light.
In the 1920s, under the leadership of the Rev. Guthrie, the congregation tried to come to terms with the memory of slavery and segregation in its church. In 1924, in celebration of the 100th anniversary of the congregation's founding, All Saint's Church put on a pageant in which it remembered the slave gallery and the slaves who sat there. The Church's oral tradition already preserved the memory of a gallery created for and filled by slaves. By the 1930s, guide books reported a " Lincoln Museum " housed in the church, in which an iron shackle and a bill of sale for a slave were exhibited.[5]

This roasted cauliflower recipe is so easy and makes a delicious main dish or a fabulous side for anything roasted.
Cauliflower is all the rage the last couple of years for its versatility and low carb content. As a kid I could not understand the appeal of cauliflower. My mother's appeals to eat her steamed cauliflower with a light dressing of lemon and olive oil were fruitless. As a teenager I started loving the cauliflower fritters my dad used to make from any leftovers. And as an adult I have to admit that cauliflower has totally won my heart as one of my favorite vegetables.
This roasted cauliflower is so easy to make and is influenced by mom's recipe with a few tweaks. You need a cauliflower head sliced in 1/43 inch "steaks" or pieces if you prefer. Add a little olive oil, season and roast for about 45 min. Then serve with a lemon/olive oil/capers dressing and shaved parmesan. Trust me, you will be amazed how good it tastes. I usually make this roasted cauliflower as a side to a nice grilled steak or a "bun-less" burger. I love it on it's own, in room temperature as well, in fact I can't stay away and nibble in and out of the kitchen!
The Best Roasted Cauliflower with Parmesan, Lemon & Capers
- one cauliflower head
- 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
- 1/3 cup capers
- 2 lemons
- salt
- pepper
- 2-3 tbsp shaved parmesan cheese
- Preheat the oven to 380F.
- With a sharp knife slice the cauliflower into 1/3 inch "steaks". Some will separate and crumble, don't worry about that.
- Arrange the cauliflower pieces on a baking sheet. Arrange the garlic between. Add the olive oil all over. Season with salt and fresh ground pepper.
- Bake for about 45 min or until cauliflower is golden and lightly crispy at the edges and soft in the middle. Half way check it out, and give it a light. Sometimes I flip the pieces so they can get golden all over.
- In a separate bowl mix 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil, the juice of one lemon, and a handful of capers. Do a taste test in case you need more lemon juice to balance it. Add a generous amount of fresh ground pepper. Set aside.
- Remove from heat and carefully place the cauliflower in a large bowl. Add the lemon-olive oil-caper dressing on top. Sprinkle a generous amount of shaved parmesan cheese. Serve immediately.

ABA Product
In this impassioned expose, lifelong skier Hal Clifford reveals how publicly traded corporations gained control of America's most popular winter sport during the 1990s, and how their greed is gutting ski towns, the natural environment, and skiing itself.
Chronicling the collision between Wall Street's demand for unceasing revenue growth and the fragile natural and social environments of small mountain communities, Clifford shows how the modern ski industry promotes its product as environmentally friendly, while at the same time creating urban-style problems for mountain villages. He suggests an alternative to this bleak picture in the return-to-the-roots movement that is now beginning to find its voice in many American ski towns, and he relates stories of creative business people who are shifting control of the ski business back to the communities that host it.
Hard-hitting and carefully researched, Downhill Slide is indispensable reading for anyone who lives in, visits, or cares about what is happening to America's alpine communities.

Like: Bangles and Bells by Lou, and Midnight City Mountain by Twilight.* So, I, GemHeart, has decided to come out with a new book myself! It will be called:
"Dandelion Storm".
It is so called named because, over in Florida, a tropical storm hit. We have been receiving a lot of wind and some rain here in TN. So, while I was swinging in my backyard, the dandelion seeds were being blown in the wind. It was so pretty, and gave me a book idea.
Summary: Asia Abernathy lives in a stormy region of the country. Her best friend, Emma Liza, has recently beat cancer. Breast cancer, to be exact; Asia and Emma have also made a new friend called Cayden, but as the storm draws closer, Asia's mother gives birth to a stillborn, and dies while Emma's young baby brother dies of Shaken Infant Sydrome, and Emma gets breast cancer again. Can Emma recover, and can Asia, Cayden, and Emma survive the nearing storm?

text: When looking for information on Henry Ford google his name and the title of his book book The International Jew. I have done alot of research on Henry. I am surprised to find out that only a handful of people know he was Hitlers good friend. His book sends shivers down my spine. Did he really believe jews drank the blood of babies? That info comes from the protocols of Zion a hoax created in 1902 in Russia. How could a genius have such an evil side. Why do we not know of the great damage he had created with his propaganda.

Hardwood flooring is a common and popular choice due to its durability and natural look. While it certainly has several cons, the pros are numerous and include the following.
1. Ease of cleaning
One major advantage of hardwood flooring is that it's relatively easy to clean and maintain because stains do not stick to it. In fact, a little sweeping and mopping with the right cleaning products will leave it looking nice for years to come.
2. Longevity
While there are many flooring materials on the market, very few can match wood in terms of durability. These floors can last for a long time without needing to be replaced because the color does not fade and the material can resist scratches and dents. So, you can be sure of getting the best out of your investment.
3. Wide variety
With hardwood flooring, homeowners are not stuck with one particular color or shade. These products come with different natural patterns and no two floors will be exactly alike. What this means is that you have the freedom to choose what matches your decor, style or personal preference.
4. Can increase property value
Another key advantage of installing this flooring type is that it can add significant value to your home due to the fact that it lasts longer and gives a natural, pleasant look. If you decide to sell the property a few years later, you could fetch a higher price and might be able to sell faster.
5. Doesn't aggravate allergies
For people who struggle with environmental allergies, this flooring can be the ideal choice since it does not give pollen, mold, animal dander or other particles a hiding place to thrive. It does not trap in bad odors from animals or stains/spills as well. As such, the indoor air quality is not compromised.
6. Insulator
Apart from being pleasant to walk on, hardwood flooring provides natural warmth. It has been shown to be an excellent insulator due to the numerous tiny air chambers that hold in heat. Wood also provides an excellent medium to set up under floor heating which is today considered the most effective and efficient way to heat a house.
7. Environmental benefits
Wood floors typically use less water & energy to manufacture than most other flooring options. In addition, they last long and can be burned or recycled at the end of their service life. If you're environmentally conscious, then you should seriously consider this option
This type of flooring may cost more upfront than other options, but it is more durable, easy to maintain and good for the environment. It is a wise investment and can prove economical in the long run.

From taxes to education, Murphy seeks feedback in Shelton
Chris Murphy may look younger than his age of 41, but that doesn't stop Connecticut's junior U.S. senator from joking about his relatively youthful looks.
"I'm no longer the youngest Senate member," he excitedly told a group of community leaders Monday at the Sutter-Terlizzi American Legion Post 16 in Shelton.
With the 2014 election cycle bringing an unusually large freshman Senate class to Washington, Murphy now is the third youngest member (Sen. Tom Cotton of Arkansas is 37, and Sen. Cory Gardner of Colorado is 40).
Murphy, a Democrat, used his discussion of age to introduce four area high school student leaders — including Charles O'Keefe, Shelton High's Student Council president, and Elise Sullivan, Shelton High's senior class president.
He presented the students with certificates and thanked them for their school leadership involvement at a time when they are busy with academics, extracurricular activities and "trying to figure out what to do next."
"I was senior class president at my high school, so be careful," kidded Murphy, who graduated from Wethersfield High.
'Pancakes and Politics' breakfast
Murphy hosted a "Pancakes and Politics" breakfast with invited community leaders at the American Legion post on Old Bridgeport Avenue.
About 40 people from government, business and community organizations in Shelton and Monroe attended to eat flapjacks and hear Murphy discuss his current legislative priorities and answer their questions.
He holds similar events around the state with the goal of getting feedback from constituents, particularly from those deeply involved in their communities.
"I want to know what I'm doing well and not well," Murphy said.
He conceded that Congress isn't very popular these days. "There's been no excuse for the way Congress has done its job the last few years," he said. "It's been manufactured crisis after manufactured crisis."
Murphy was asked about student loans, taxes, education funding, cancer research, foreign policy, and trade agreements.
He also discussed a new defense contract for Sikorsky Aircraft, policy shifts on Iran and Cuba, and the need to reform the No Child Left Behind Law that he and others claim leads to excessive testing in schools.
Student loans
When audience member Arlene Liscinsky noted her daughter would be paying off student loans until 2035, Murphy — who has a law degree — said he and his wife are still paying off their student loans.
"It's crippling young families of today," he said, pointing out that the nation's student loan debt now is larger than the credit card debt.
Murphy said banks are able to borrow funds at 1% in today's low-interest rate environment and then loan the money at rates of 6% to 8%.
The U.S. government makes $50 billion a year from student loans, he said, arguing the rates should be lowered and the government could approach student loans as a "break-even" endeavor.
He also criticized colleges for excessive spending and tuition rates. "College costs too much, and we have to do something about that. … A lot of schools have gotten pretty fat and lazy," he said.
Murphy said the traditional structure of college could be altered. He questioned why some degrees take four years to earn when students can gain the knowledge much more quickly.
Gas tax increase proposal
When asked about his plan to raise the federal gas tax to fund transportation projects, Murphy said the federal levy has been unchanged since 1993. He wants to raise the tax from 18 cents per gallon to 30 cents per gallon over two years, in a bill he's con-sponsored with a Republican.
He said Connecticut receives $1.60 for every $1 it pays in gas taxes. Murphy's gas tax bill has received little support.
Flag burning amendment
Dave Gallagher, commander of the Sutter-Terlizzi post, asked Murphy whether he would support a constitutional amendment intended to make it a crime to burn the American flag.
"The American flag is the first thing you grab after 9/11 and the Boston Marathon bombing," said Gallagher, a veteran who supports the amendment.
Murphy said he doesn't believe the proposal will come up for a vote. He said he certainly values the flag and all it represents, and respects the American Legion's strong views on the issue, but he appeared to indicate he's unlikely to back such an amendment.
"I'm a very strong proponent of the First Amendment. … I tend to default to free speech," Murphy said.
Reaching across the aisle
In his closing comments, the senator said he frequently works well with Republicans and doesn't view his outlook as being "ideological."
He said he doesn't consider it a political weakness to change his mind on an issue. He said he often does just that based on new information or "what people tell me," indicating he's always open to listening to opposing viewpoints.

My passion is to improve the way we share our remaining resources by making the rules smart, fair and transparent.
I have worked on environmental water issues for many years, and have discovered many ways that technology and communities can help agencies to do their job of devising and regulating government policies better. In many cases innovation is held back only by a lack of familiarity or imagination. I want to build bridges between the regulators, ethical technologists and broader community to develop innovative approaches and tools to environmental and resource challenges. Which is why I'm excited to be doing a PhD through the PERSWADE group at the University of Technology Sydney.
Professional experience
I am an environmental hydrogeologist with over 35 years professional experience in a variety of technical and management roles, as well as a history of environmental activism. Most of my projects have been in water/groundwater resource evaluation and protection of these resources from pollution and over-exploitation.
I have extensive experience in developing and implementing innovative regulatory solutions to complex environmental and resource-sharing challenges, primarily as a regulator or consultant.
Research interests
- Application of big and open-source data analysis tools to solve environmental challenges
- Identifying which aspects of participatory modelling stakeholders find most helpful in better understanding complex issues and planning applications
- Developing standards for Records of Engagement, to record the processes, outcomes and key learnings from participatory modelling applications.
Current project
My PhD project is focused on evaluating participatory modelling in stakeholder engagement applications. By several strokes of good luck and a fair bit of legwork, we have the opportunity to examine how modelling can support a live stakeholder engagement process in a major development, seeking future NSW planning approval.
As well as being an important and innovative application of collaborative modelling within a real planning approval process, the case study will provide opportunities to progressively monitor and assess stakeholders' and our own values and beliefs as the engagement process unfolds.
The project seeks to implement and measure the success of a range of participatory modelling processes to provide effective stakeholder engagement within an Australian planning approval context. The engagement study will be undertaken by the PhD team using cutting-edge participatory modelling tools with social-science theory.
Importantly, the results will be progressively captured and presented in a prototype Record of Engagement (RoE), [Glynn, Shapiro and Voinov, 2018 http://hdl.handle.net/10453/132420] to support the dissemination of participatory modelling project processes and results. With the benefit of this case study, new standards will be developed to guide future RoEs and stakeholder engagement frameworks.

Reports / Rheumatology Reports / RealTime Dynamix: Psoriatic Arthritis EU
RealTime Dynamix: Psoriatic Arthritis EU (semiannual)
The EU Psoriatic Arthritis (PsA) market has been experiencing large-scale change as rheumatologists continue adoption of alternate MOA biologics. Uptake of Novartis' Cosentyx, BMS' Orencia, and Eli Lilly's Taltz will challenge the leading TNF-inhibitors, while a pipeline ripe with line-extensions and new agents is due to bring further disruption.
The RealTime Dynamix™: Psoriatic Arthritis (EU) report series provides a detailed and timely look at current and future trends in the PsA market, and the effects of the future shifting landscape. The semiannual releases allow for close monitoring and trending of key performance metrics. In addition to the fixed trended measures, the report also includes variable content addressing key current issues. The rapid field-to-insight turnaround time, highly relevant content, and unparalleled knowledge of the PsA market make this an essential tool for companies competing in the space, as well as those with near-term plans to enter it.
The report is based on an online survey of ~250 rheumatologists practicing in the EU5. Rheumatologists meet screening criteria including time in practice, percent of professional time spent in clinical practice (vs. teaching or research), minimum number of PsA patients, and minimum number of PsA patients on biologic agents. Surveys are programmed in the local language.
The semiannual report has been fielding since Q2 2020.

Pro-Business Case for Staying in Paris
CHARLESTON, W.Va. – Leaving the Paris climate agreement would put the United States behind, according to some energy market and job creation watchers.
Media leaks from the White House say President Donald Trump is leaning toward leaving the climate accord, but the administration has not confirmed this.
Han Chen, an international climate advocate at the Natural Resources Defense Council, says internationally and here in the U.S., the fastest job growth is in clean energy.
She says energy efficiency and renewable energy sources have added 3 million new jobs.
"These are the fastest growing sectors," she maintains. "It's not in traditional fossil fuels, so if we want to grow the economy in West Virginia and in other states, we've seen that clean energy jobs have been the strongest driver of that growth."
The coal industry and its political allies argue that the climate agreement is part of what they describe as a war on coal. But Chen says 1,100 U.S. companies have publicly declared that they favor the Paris accord.
She says these companies include some of the largest, most profitable and most forward-looking companies in the world.
"The revenues for these companies are over $3 trillion," she points out. "They support Paris because it will be better for their risk from possible climate catastrophes. It's better for them in terms of job growth, and so on."
Critics of the Paris agreement argue that if the U.S. shifts away from fossil fuels, developing nations such as India and China would more than make up the difference by burning more coal.
Chen counters that's no longer accurate. She says India and China are shifting rapidly to renewable energy, and two of the world's largest economies are working hard to move workers out of the fossil fuel industries.
"Germany and in China, what they're doing is offering transition for folks who are working in traditional fossil fuels – and, in fact, China now leads the world in solar and wind," she points out.
Trump has tweeted that he will make a decision on the Paris agreement Thursday,

While numerous autochthonous ethnic, national and regional groups formulate claims on power-sharing and minority rights, pushing their host states to accommodate diversity, increased mobility has contributed to the further proliferation of cultural, linguistic, and religious diversity in the European Union and its south-eastern vicinity. Commentators label this as "complex" diversity, as many classically more homogenous societies become more and more multicultural, and various forms of transnational citizenship become a widespread phenomenon.
This increasingly complex diversity of the European societies, together with the global spread of supranational norms and values of human rights is continuously undermining the Westphalian system of homogeneous nation states. The question arises how these challenges can be reconciled, what best practices can be identified for both "old" and "new" minorities, and whether the arrangements for the former can be a model for the latter, mobile minorities. In sum, the central question this conference aims to address is how social cohesion can be achieved in diverse societies.
The organizers welcome theoretical analyses and empirical case studies on the causes, consequences and possibilities of accommodation of complex diversity against the backdrop of the multi-layered system of governance within the European Union. The contributions should outline in what way political and societal cultures, institutional arrangements or public policies contribute to or hinder the accommodation of complex diversity.
The conference will be held in Cluj-Napoca, at Sapientia University. The city can be easily reached by a number of low budget airlines. Accommodation is not covered, however, the organizers will offer assistance for participants to find cheaper accommodation facilities. Participants are kindly requested to pay a registration fee of 50 Euro that includes the conference materials, the coffee-breaks and two receptions.
Participation in the Saturday (October 10) excursion, including a dinner and a visit to a local wine cellar, will require a contribution of 30 Euro.
Conference organizers:
István Horváth, Romanian Institute for Research on National Minorities (email@example.com)
László Marácz, European Studies, University of Amsterdam (firstname.lastname@example.com)
Márton Tonk, Sapientia Hungarian University of Transylvania, Faculty of Science and Arts (firstname.lastname@example.com)
Further questions should be submitted to the e-mail address email@example.com.

McKinleyville residents are on alert after multiple mountain lion sightings were reported in the Dow's Prairie area this month.
The California Department of Fish & Wildlife confirmed with the Outpost that a lion killed two alpacas on Clam Beach Road last Friday, and another sighting was reported near Dow's Prairie Elementary School on Monday.
Alpaca owner Brian Wilson told the Outpost that he obtained a depredation permit to kill the lion if it returns to his property.
"A mountain lion killed two of our alpacas, gutted one and injured a third on Friday night in McKinleyville," Wilson said. "This is probably the same mountain lion spotted by our neighbors about a week ago."
Although a lion killed Wilson's livestock, CDFW spokesperson Kyle Orr told the Outpost that this is normal mountain lion behavior.
"Mountain lion attacks on livestock are not uncommon," Orr said. "Their Primary prey are deer, but they're opportunistic predators. From a biological standpoint it's not an attack per say, it's a predator seeking food."
The Dow's Prairie community was especially frightened after resident Cami Cooper Claros posted a photo of a large predatory cat spotted near the local elementary school to the McKinleyville Community Watch Facebook page on Monday.
"Dows Prairie Residents please be cautious this morning while loading your kids up for school," Claros' post reads. "This Mountain Lion just crossed the road about 1/4 mile from the school."
However, Orr said there were no reports of a mountain lion acting aggressively toward humans in the area.
"A lot of times, when there's mountain lions taking livestock in a community, reported sightings go up because people are looking for mountain lions," Orr said. "A mountain lion just being in an area with humans is no reason for alarm."
Orr said there are no reports that would suggest a mountain lion was recently killed in the McKinleyville area.

Hatti is a dramatic but simple dress with a lot of shape. It's gathered sides create an amazing drape along the body and allows soft movement. Make Hatti with or without the little bulging pocket. But that pocket is too cute. This dress is perfect in a print or solid. If making in linen don't forget to add your personal touches in vintage patches or fun top stitching. This dress caused lovely commotion at the NY shows in Spring 2019. A classic dress I think for any time.

Since they wear sexy clothes to display more skin during performances and lead lives of 'night working and day sleeping,' female disc jockeys, or DJs, in Vietnam have to overcome social stigma which often leads to them being misunderstood as call girls.
>> An audio version of the story is available here
Adding to the prejudice is their regular working environment at bars, beer clubs and sometimes coffee shops, which are considered 'places of pleasure.'
In fact, this is a serious job that requires devotion, passion for music and performance skills.
A qualified DJ can earn an average salary of VND20 million (US$920) a month or more and travel abroad for contests and performances.
At midnight one day, the atmosphere inside J Bar on Le Duan Street in Hanoi was still excited since it is almost the peak time for most bars in Vietnam.

The hands of DJ Thuy Tien moved fast on the keyboards and control panels of electronic music devices.
Her body moved to the rhythms of foreign electro songs. She was no different from a star artist who could command the attention of everyone there.
She could make the crowd become enthusiastic and cheerful with loud whistles and dances.
Tien worked continuously through 90 minutes of dancing with the musical rhythm and gesturing at the crowd to excite them.
"Thanks to their ability to attract crowds with musical rhythms and attractive bodies in sexy clothes, female DJs are among the favorites at bars," said a male guest at J Bar.
In a brief chat with Tuoi Tre (Youth) newspaper after her show at 1:00 am, when the street outside was deserted, Thuy Tien said she has DJed for seven years, performing at numerous bars.
"Today, I feel relaxed so I could burn myself like that," Tien said, with sweat covering her bright face. "This job depends greatly on the state of mind."
Tien lost her parents when she was 14 years old and had to learn music herself before being allowed to perform in a bar at a low salary.
Each DJ often selects their own style of performance in a certain rhythm of music.

Nguyen Mai Anh, 23, who is the key DJ of the 'upper class' Q Bar on Ly Thuong Kiet Street in Hanoi, mainly performs EDM – or electronic dance music – which has recently been 'imported' into Vietnam.
Anh said she was able to buy a house and run a cosmetic shop in the Vietnamese capital thanks to the income from her performances as a DJ.
DJ Nguyen Thuy Linh, or Link Eva, 29, is often invited to join foreign performance trips.
Before, Linh had to agree to perform for free at some bars to build her name.
"Then, I made no money but was close to tears of happiness because I was given shows to perform," Linh recounted her initial days of doing the job.
These young women and most other female DJs admit that they are often misunderstood as call girls by both family and neighbors because of their late working hours and sexy clothes.
Now, it takes a DJ two months and no more than VND15 million ($690) to learn music and performing skills to be able to work as a DJ.
So, it is lucky for newly-trained DJs to be allowed to perform at a bar.

A DJ admitted that, "It can be exciting when sitting in front of the keyboards to perform, but leaving it makes DJs feel dull and tired when it is late at night."
In Ho Chi Minh City, DJs can perform not only at night at bars but also during the day at beer clubs, coffee shops and tea shops.
DJ Huong Tra confessed that she sometimes smiles and gestures at the crowd, but this is just crazy behavior because she is performing.
With some crowds, one may not be in the mood and just do the job for money, Tra added.
She recalled she was once given a cup of water with a VND500,000 bank note around it while performing. She thought it was a tip from guests and drank the cup.
Minutes later, she became crazy and performed and danced so wildly that she took off her shirt.
She said she later realized the water had been spiked with some sort of stimulant.

FCE LTER Journal Articles
We hypothesized that fishes in short-hydroperiod wetlands display pulses in activity tied to seasonal flooding and drying, with relatively low activity during intervening periods. To evaluate this hypothesis, sampling devices that funnel fish into traps (drift fences) were used to investigate fish movement across the Everglades, U.S.A. Samples were collected at six sites in the Rocky Glades, a seasonally flooded karstic habitat located on the southeastern edge of the Everglades. Four species that display distinct recovery patterns following drought in long-hydroperiod wetlands were studied: eastern mosquitofish (Gambusia holbrooki) and flagfish (Jordanella floridae) (rapid recovery); and bluefin killifish (Lucania goodei) and least killifish (Heterandria formosa) (slow recovery). Consistent with our hypothesized conceptual model, fishes increased movement soon after flooding (immigration period) and just before drying (emigration period), but decreased activity in the intervening foraging period. We also found that eastern mosquitofish and flagfish arrived earlier and showed stronger responses to hydrological variation than either least killifish or bluefin killifish. We concluded that these fishes actively colonize and escape ephemeral wetlands in response to flooding and drying, and display species-specific differences related to flooding and drying that reflect differences in dispersal ability. These results have important implications for Everglades fish metacommunity dynamics.

Imitiaz and Ekta united to recreate 'Laila-Majnu'
Imitiaz Ali and Ekta Kapoor have teamed up to re-create the eternal love story 'Laila- Majnu'. Ekta confirmed it with a tweet, 'Excited to recreate the epic love story, #LailaMajnu with master storyteller Imtiaz Ali. @balajimotionpic #ImtiazAlisLailaMajnu #LailaMajnuOn4thMay.'
However, Imitiaz Ali will not direct the movie but co=produce it with Ekta Kapoor. This movie would be the directorial debut of Imtiaz's brother, Sajid Ali.
Laila-Majnu was first release in 1976 starring Rishi Kapoor and Ranjeeta. The movie was a blockbuster with terrific music given by Madam Mohan and Jaidev. Music of the movie became the prime reason for the success of Laila-Majnu back then.
Ekta and Imitiaz wanna recreate that aroma through this movie. They would need a great music to connect with the Millennial. Let's see whom they will give their music to.

Let's Talk Juicing and Fiber!
Does juicing concentrate the sugar and eliminate the fiber? Yes. But first, sugars in fruit are naturally occurring sugars including fructose. Fructose has traditionally been regarded as a healthy sugar.
When you drink FRESH all natural juice the fructose is absorbed from the intestines and is taken to the liver to be broken down into glucose. Fructose has the lowest glycemic index (GI = 19) of all the natural sugars.
We want to be careful though (especially if you're diabetic or have a history of diabetes in your family, so please consult a physician if this is the case). Juicing and consuming too much fruit at one time can overwhelm the body's capacity to process fructose and spike your blood sugar. That's not what we want.
Too much of any one thing (fruit juice) is bad, so we want to juice a variety. I strive for sensible juicing. Green juice is nutritionally the best for us.
Did you know fiber helps our bodies maintain normal sugar levels? So we want to get plenty of fiber in our diets.
Juicing and Fiber, Really???
Unless you're strictly juicing for the benefit of the juice (nutrients) being absorbed on an empty stomach (and lots of people do that), then I say, feel free to snack on the produce.
(When you're cleansing or juice fasting, you don't want fiber.)
When I feel like it, I snack on the produce. I say to myself, "Man those apples look good", so I take a bite. "That spinach looks fresh", so I have some. "Those carrots are awesome", you get the idea. Munch on what you're juicing. It's that simple. You can make a good raw food meal out of it and that's good for you!
Juicing usually doesn't extract all of the fiber either. Depending on the type of juicer you use and the produce you're juicing, you may find pulp (fiber) in your juice. If you want, you can add a little more pulp back into the juice you make. I like pulp in my orange juice. Some people don't and that's fine. It's a personal preference.
You get fiber you need from the meals you eat throughout the day. How much fiber do you need? According to WHFoods website, you should strive for 25 grams of fiber each day. Check out their dietary fiber page, the links are below. For breakfast I enjoy oatmeal after I have my juice. Sometimes, just almonds. Both are good in fiber.
For a snack I have an apple, banana or an orange and maybe some more nuts. At lunch I enjoy salads. Mid-afternoon I snack on some more almonds. There you go, more fiber.
At dinner I enjoy steamed or lightly cooked vegetables and sometimes beans or legumes. I'll also try to have some more fruit.
When juicing regularly if I eat healthy whole foods with my meals and snack on whole foods like fruit or almonds, I get plenty of fiber.
It's something to consider each day though and just to be sure you're getting the fiber you need, you can check out WHFoods Food Advisor. It's a helpful tool.
So when someone says to you, what about fiber? You have the answer and remember you can tell them, "There's No-Thing Better For Your Body Than FRESH Fruit and Vegetable Juice!" Have fun juicing and juice on!
