Richard King Mellon Foundation
The Richard King Mellon Foundation, based in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, seeks to recruit a new Program Officer.
For more than 72 years the Richard King Mellon Foundation has invested in the competitive future and quality of life in Southwestern Pennsylvania, and in the protection, preservation, and restoration of America's environmental heritage.
The Foundation was created in 1947 by Richard King Mellon (1899 – 1970), president and chairman of Mellon Bank, a conservationist and leading figure in the financial and civic life of Pennsylvania. Following his service in World War II, General Mellon had recently returned home to catalyze the nationally recognized Pittsburgh Renaissance, a groundbreaking public-private partnership for urban revitalization. As a banker and director of major corporations, he envisioned philanthropy as an investment and partnership to improve the city and region where he worked and lived. As a lifelong outdoorsman and sportsman, he, along with his wife, Constance Prosser Mellon, had an equally strong commitment to preserving wildlife habitat and the natural world. Mrs. Mellon served as chair of the Foundation from 1947 until her death in 1980.
With assets of approximately $2.6 billion and annual grants and social impact investments of $125 million, the Richard King Mellon Foundation embodies the vision of its founders – to primarily serve Southwestern Pennsylvania with a strategic interest in advancing regional economic development, education, and human services improvements for those most at risk in society. The Foundation has demonstrated the value of partnering with other public and private sector leaders rather than solely underwriting the entire cost of projects. The Trustees believe that this policy allows the Foundation's grants to benefit the largest number of people. The Foundation has supported projects that strengthen Pittsburgh's urban core by diversifying downtown housing, encouraging good riverfront usage, and creating or maintaining open spaces within the city. The Foundation also contributes to a variety of endeavors to stimulate business development, to promote economic health in rural areas, to leverage the economic impact of regional health care, education and cultural assets, and to attract and retain talented people to Southwestern Pennsylvania.
The Richard King Mellon Foundation has also made a legacy commitment to the support of a broad range of strategic conservation activities regionally and nationally. Often working in partnership with government agencies and conservation organizations, the Foundation has ensured the protection of more than 4 million acres of land at sites in all 50 states. The Foundation has also supported the application of sound biodiversity science to address critical wildlife habitat and other conservation activities in our nation.
Program Officer
The Program Officer is a new position within the Foundation. The Program Officer will help facilitate the impact of the Foundation through interaction with public, private, and other civic leaders. The Program Officer should be an individual who inspires trust and who is dedicated to advancing the Foundation's mission to address critical civic, cultural, human service, education, economic development, conservation. The Program Officer must have the presence, grace, and humility to work effectively and with a diverse range of people.
The Program Officer will advance the Foundation's conservation portfolio. In addition to conservation grants in land, water and wildlife conservation, the Program Officer will support the Foundation's work in advancing ecosystems as valuable capital assets that, when properly managed, sustain a flow of vital benefits over time. These benefits vary from place to place. But their value can be quantified — both in biophysical terms, such as how much groundwater is recharged or how clean the water is, and in economic terms, such as how trail development in both densely populated areas as well as rural environments supports ecotourism. The new Program Officer will help shape the Foundation's work in recognizing the economic value of the natural land and water around us, as we do for physical, financial, or human capital. The Program Officer will facilitate a deepening understanding in which people and institutions recognize natural systems as capital assets, appreciate the vital roles they play in supporting human well-being, and incorporate the intrinsic and economic values of natural capital into decision making.
Working in a collaborative manner, the Program Officer will be asked to fulfill the following responsibilities:
Professional Qualifications and Personal Attributes
The Program Officer should possess the following ideal set of professional qualifications and personal attributes:
The Foundation offers an excellent benefits package and a salary that is commensurate with experience.
How to Apply
Candidates should email a cover letter explaining how their background fits this position and a resume to: Daniel Sherman, President, Explore Company at firstname.lastname@example.com. Refer to Foundation/Conservation PO in the subject line. No phone inquiries please.
The Foundation is an equal opportunity

Tom Stoppard's award-winning drama Arcadia is sweeping the U.S., soon to be playing at three major regional theatres simultaneously.
Winner of the 1995 New York Drama Critics Circle Award for Best Play, and the 1994 Olivier Award, London Critics Circle Award and the Evening Standard Award for Best Play, Arcadia was first produced in 1994 at the Royal National Theatre in London and then moved to the West End. In March 1995, Arcadia had its American premiere on Broadway at Lincoln Center.
On Dec. 18, Arena Stage opens its Washington, D.C. area premiere, in a production directed by Artistic Director Douglas C. Wager. Split between 1809 and the present day, Arcadia takes place at an estate in the British countryside, where characters from nearly two centuries ago interact, while letters and drawings of that era are interpreted by competing researchers hungry for a universal meaning and truth. The romantic ties between the characters in both time frames underly the philosophy and ideas bantered about.
Wager says, "This is a script that leaves you airborne without the use of complicated theatrics. A library table, two chairs and a stand, that's all there is on stage...and a bunch of really talented actors."
Some of those talented actors include J. Paul Boehmer, (recently from Broadway's An Ideal Husband,) Wendy Hoopes, Christina Haag and Terrence Caza. Arcadia closes Jan. 19. The Wilma Theatre of Philadelphia picked Time Magazine's former "play of the year" to christen their new 295-seat theatre . The production has broken all Wilma Box Office records for advance sales, and an additional week of performances has already been added, running Dec. 26-Jan. 26.
Wilma's Arcadia is directed by Jiri Zizka, co-artistic director, who says, "Arcadiais one of the best scripts I've read in a long time...a comic feast for the eyes, ears, heart, and above all, the brain."
The production was cast out of NY and Philadelphia, and includes Michael Burnet, Maggie Siff, Ian Kahn and Alison Edwards.
Arcadia marks the third production of the 30th Anniversary season at Los Angeles' Mark Taper Forum. Directed by Robert Egan, the Taper's producing director, Arcadia stars Kate Burton, Mark Capri, Suzanne Cryer and Jefrey Alan Chandler, among others, and begins previews Jan. 5, running through Feb. 23,1997.
Director Robert Egan says, "I think this is one of Tom Stoppard's great plays. It beautifully merges a world of ideas with a world of human drama and emotion. I see it as a story about human beings and our insatiable desire to know all there is to know about our world." Previous Tom Stoppard plays at the Taper include Travesties in 1977 and The Real Thing in 1986.
For tickets or more information about Arcadia, please refer to the Arena Stage, Wilma Theatre, and Mark Taper Forum regional listings on Playbill On-Line.

Agricultural robotics is an area of growing interest with the potential to bring about profound economic and social benefits. Interest in this area is motivated by the need to improve the industries and processes that feed the planet. Autonomous systems are currently being developed for tasks such as pruning, thinning, harvesting, mowing, targeted spraying, nonchemical weed control, and high-resolution crop surveillance. A new cohort of people in agriculture will develop, commercialize, and operate such systems. Social events played an important part in the success of the school. On the first day, participants introduced themselves via a lightning round that consisted of a rapid sequence of single-slide, 60-s presentations. A participant poster session followed, promoting informal discussion in a semistructured environment.

What is Conversation Transcription in meetings (Preview)?
Conversation Transcription is a speech-to-text solution that combines speech recognition, speaker identification, and sentence attribution to each speaker (also known as diarization) to provide real-time and/or asynchronous transcription of any conversation. Conversation Transcription distinguishes speakers in a conversation to determine who said what and when, and makes it easy for developers to add speech-to-text to their applications that perform multi-speaker diarization.
Key features
- Timestamps - each speaker utterance has a timestamp, so that you can easily find when a phrase was said.
- Readable transcripts - transcripts have formatting and punctuation added automatically to ensure the text closely matches what was being said.
- User profiles - user profiles are generated by collecting user voice samples and sending them to signature generation.
- Speaker identification - speakers are identified using user profiles and a speaker identifier is assigned to each.
- Multi-speaker diarization - determine who said what by synthesizing the audio stream with each speaker identifier.
- Real-time transcription – provide live transcripts of who is saying what and when while the conversation is happening.
- asynchronous transcription – provide transcripts with higher accuracy by using a multichannel audio stream.
Although Conversation Transcription does not put a limit on the number of speakers in the room, it is optimized for 2-10 speakers per session.
Use cases
Inclusive meetings
To make meetings inclusive for everyone, such as participants who are deaf and hard of hearing, it is important to have transcription in real time. Conversation Transcription in real-time mode takes meeting audio and determines who is saying what, allowing all meeting participants to follow the transcript and participate in the meeting without a delay.
Improved efficiency
Meeting participants can focus on the meeting and leave note-taking to Conversation Transcription. Participants can actively engage in the meeting and quickly follow up on next steps, using the transcript instead of taking notes and potentially missing something during the meeting.
How it works
This is a high-level overview of how Conversation Transcription works.
Expected inputs
- Multi-channel audio stream – For specification and design details, see Microsoft Speech Device SDK Microphone. To learn more or purchase a development kit, see Get Microsoft Speech Device SDK.
- User voice samples – Conversation Transcription needs user profiles in advance of the conversation. You will need to collect audio recordings from each user, then send the recordings to the Signature Generation Service to validate the audio and generate user profiles.
Real-time vs. asynchronous
Conversation Transcription offers three transcription modes:
Audio data is processed live to return speaker identifier + transcript. Select this mode if your transcription solution requirement is to provide conversation participants a live transcript view of their ongoing conversation. For example, building an application to make meetings more accessible the deaf and hard of hearing participants is an ideal use case for real-time transcription.
Audio data is batch processed to return speaker identifier and transcript. Select this mode if your transcription solution requirement is to provide higher accuracy without live transcript view. For example, if you want to build an application to allow meeting participants to easily catch up on missed meetings, then use the asynchronous transcription mode to get high-accuracy transcription results.
Real-time plus asynchronous
Audio data is processed live to return speaker identifier + transcript, and, in addition, a request is created to also get a high-accuracy transcript through asynchronous processing. Select this mode if your application has a need for real-time transcription but also requires a higher accuracy transcript for use after the conversation or meeting occurred.
Language support
Currently, Conversation Transcription supports "en-US" and "zh-CN" in the following regions: centralus and eastasia. If you require additional locale support, contact the Conversation Transcription Feature Crew.

WATCH: Disabled woman tells of 'unbearable' Christmas after benefits stop forced her to 'beg for food'
PUBLISHED: 15:26 10 January 2019 | UPDATED: 09:03 11 January 2019
Copyright: Archant 2019
A disabled woman who had her benefits stopped after she tried to claim more money said she has been forced to beg for food.
Pauline Bloomfield, 54, of North Walsham, received £90.74 a week since 2016, as back pain and arthritis left her unable to work.
Mrs Bloomfield, who was previously a carer for her late husband, said: "I was getting headaches and eye problems [as] he kept hitting me in the head.
"I had back pain from pushing him in his wheelchair."
But her personal independence payments (PIP) were stopped after Mrs Bloomfield tried to claim a greater allowance last year.
She has not received any money since November 28.
Mrs Bloomfield, who lives with her partner, said: "I put the claim in on July 11 for my eyes. I was getting headaches from 2011 but I didn't know I could claim [more].
"I got a letter back saying I had to go for an assessment on October 10, at St Francis Hall in Norwich.
"It's difficult with my mobility."
Mrs Bloomfield said she did not initially understand the assessor would look at her overall health.
She said: "I got a letter to say my mobility was alright, so my PIP has been stopped.
"I was told 'we don't just go by one claim, we go by all the claims'.
"[But] my mobility hadn't got better - it had got worse. I can barely walk anywhere.
"I put in an appeal against it and it just came back again 'no'.
"I'm down and upset. It's unbearable. I've been having to keep begging to get food. We had to ask neighbours downstairs and they kindly helped us out with it."
A spokesperson for the Department of Work and Pensions (DWP) said: "A mandatory reconsideration has been carried out in this case, and the original decision was upheld.
"The claimant is now entitled to register an appeal with the courts and tribunals service.
"We're committed to ensuring that disabled people get the full support that they need and PIP helps with the extra costs someone may have as a result of a disability.
"When someone's circumstances change we look at their claim again to make sure they are getting the right support.
"Decisions are made following consideration of all the information provided by the claimant, including supporting evidence from their GP or medical specialist.
"Anyone who disagrees with a decision can appeal."

Linear fireplaces are becoming a popular option for homeowners who enjoy the appeal and warmth of a fireplace but prefer a sleeker, more streamlined model. With the advent of wider, wall-mounted TV's, linear fireplaces are outselling traditional fireplaces, because of a better balance with the width of today's TV's.
Linear fireplaces are ideal for all types of homes and even commercial establishments. They feature a low and long rectangular viewing area along with a wide range of flames. The linear units also come with more features and options for homeowners and can be completely customized based on your preferences. This enables homeowners to choose a model which fits in perfectly with the current décor of their living area.
Many homeowners opt for electric linear fireplaces since they have some advantages over gas models. For example, they're generally less expensive to purchase and operate and don't require any venting, just a wall socket. When selected and installed correctly, electric linear fireplaces may be safely mounted directly below TV's. In addition, they're safe to use, are easy to maintain, don't lose any heat due to venting and don't generate carbon monoxide. Linear electric fireplaces are convenient sources of heat and can add warmth and beauty to a home without the cost, maintenance, and expense of a wood-burning option.
At Stylish Fireplaces in Vaughan, we offer customers in the Greater Toronto Area a wide range of in-wall and on-wall linear fireplaces, inserts, and accessories. We carry the most popular and reliable brands in the business including Sierra Flame, Modern Flames, Dynasty, Amantii, and Dimplex.
Some of our most sought-after models are: Dimplex BLF74 linear firebox, the Dynasty BT-55 linear fireplace, the Amantii WM-FM-26-3623-BG-EMBER linear fireplace, the Sierra Flame VISTA-BI-50-12 linear fireplace, and the Modern Flames CLX2-80 linear fireplace.
Our linear fireplaces come in numerous styles and sizes. If you'd like more detailed information on our line of fireplaces please contact us at Stylish Fireplaces at your convenience or drop by our Vaughan showroom to see them in action. Our team of experts will be more than happy to explain how each fireplace works and will gladly help you choose the ideal model for your home and lifestyle.

Who is the New Digital Consumer and How Can You Sell to Them?
Have you heard the term "Uberisation"? As you can imagine, the term came after Uber changed the landscape of private transport around the world, revolutionising the lives of passengers and drivers alike. With a few clicks on a mobile phone, the user waits for a few minutes to be taken anywhere, from wherever he or she is, to be greeted by a clean, comfortable car set to the right temperature and their favourite radio station.
Say Hello to Consumer 3.0
You, me, and the vast majority of our counterparts are called "Consumers 3.0". We are more informed, have more buying power, and have new standards of demand. Our bow is a smartphone and our arrows are the countless news, reviews, tutorials, online communities and rating services that can be provided and consumed through a simple search. We select the companies, products and services we use more dynamically than ever.
While this scenario represents a challenge for brands, it also enables the creation of more accurate marketing and sales strategies.
Think, for example, you already shop in the supermarket without leaving the sofa; conclude complex banking transactions without having to enter a branch; furnish your home without visiting a show room; book a hotel in another country from the comfort of your bed. You get the point. Your life has already been incorporated into the digital environment – so, consequently, you expect the companies that are part of it to be that way, too.
Moreover, thanks to your arsenal of information collected in many different mediums, you know that it is very difficult for a company to deceive you. With a few minutes of research, it is possible to know the possibilities, risks, benefits, and, of course, the competition's offerings.
How Can You Serve Consumer 3.0?
In accordance with how the way we market to this audience can change in a moment, the sales process is equally impacted and subject to transformation. So, to keep up with market demands, it's imperative to serve us as digital consumers in the online avenues we walk, at the times we walk them, and in the manner we want to be served.
To begin with, Consumer 3.0 does not want to waste time on paperwork – and inevitably will have a negative opinion of the companies that force her or him to interact with outdated processes.
Digital Tools for the Digital Seller
For vendors to be more dynamic in their selling practices, it's necessary to adopt tools that help their sales teams directly – software that centralises all the information related to a lead, for example. CRM such as Salesforce, LinkedIn's Sales Navigator, and Outreach are a few firm favourites at DocuSign.
In these circumstances, the electronic signature is undoubtedly a great ally of salespeople. With this platform, it's possible to fulfil contracts and determine changes to clauses without the traditional comings and goings of documents by snail mail – contracts are signed and returned in a matter of minutes and revenue realised much faster, leaving customers much more satisfied not only with the result but the end-to-end experience.
In addition to this agility, your sales teams must be extremely well trained and have access to the vital information required for negotiation – after all, there is nothing worse for a potential customer than a confused salesperson. And, of course, there is no use seeking to adopt all of these productivity tools without first listening to your employees and understanding their needs.
Go Beyond the First Impression
Finally, this new consumer profile wants to be surprised, and for that, it is important to create an experience that goes beyond a positive first impression. Essentially, this is what we call the "customer experience", which covers the entire journey from the first contact with the brand (a Facebook interaction or a Google search) to the close of business and all the way through to advocacy
It goes without saying but cannot be overstated: the customer experience should always be viewed from the point of your customer and never of your company.
If you're looking to create an unparalleled sales experience, read our e-book outlining eight digital best practices for sales professionals.

The government's new White Paper on 'fixing Britain's broken housing market' is released this afternoon, but what does it really mean for first-time buyers, renters and homeowners in the UK?
Amid all the bluster, the long-awaited document primarily focuses on freeing up land and building regulations to allow for thousands of new homes to be built.
This includes auditing and forcing local councils to meet ambitious targets, encouraging small firms to build 25,000 new homes by 2020 and adopting a 'use it or lose it' attitude to house builders sitting on undeveloped land.
There are also minor changes to the upcoming Starter Homes Initiative, the promise of a consultation on leasehold abuse and confirmation that the Lifetime Isa slated for April will go ahead as planned.
New-build homes: more promises to 'get Britain building'
Housing minister Gavin Barwell says there is 'no silver bullet' to solve Britain's housing issues, and the message from today's White Paper is very much one of evolution rather than revolution.
Conservative manifesto promises to build over 200,000 starter homes by the end of parliament appear to have been reined in, with the focus now on 'helping over 200,000 people become home owners' through a range of initiatives across housing tenures.
Previous announcements have focused on new housing schemes and funding. The White Paper, however, is full of plans to encourage house building. These include:
- Councils will be able to issue 'completion notices' to developers to make them start building with two years rather than three
- Small firms will be offered loans to help them build 25,000 new homes by 2020
- Councils must come up with a five-year housing plan, and will face an annual audit to ensure they are hitting targets
- Despite rumours to the contrary, green belt land will continue to be protected

Starter Homes Initiative: income caps introduced
The government will set income caps for buyers using the upcoming Starter Homes Initiative.
The initiative will allow first-time buyers under the age of 40 to buy a house with a 20% discount on market rates.
Buyers using the scheme, which is set to be piloted in 30 local authorities later this year, now won't be able to have an income of more than £90,000 in London, or £80,000 elsewhere in the UK.

Housing White Paper: other key announcements at a glance
Leasehold abuse
The government will launch a consultation on 'abusive' leasehold arrangements where owners face excessive service charges and ground rents.
So far no specifics have been announced about how a new Rent to Buy scheme will work, but the government has confirmed that the £1.4bn fund announced in the Autumn Statement will help boost both Rent to Buy and the Affordable Homes Programme.
Lifetime Isa
The Lifetime Isa announced in the 2016 Budget will go ahead from April 2017, offering savers a 25% bonus on their contributions (of up to £4,000 a year) when they buy a house.

The filling and the close cluster of down is exactly what provides the comforter it weight. Its close mess traps more air than common synthetic fibers. Down supplies warmth much better than artificial fibers. Down comforters trap in warm air while all at once keeping cold air out, and they will not glob like other artificial fibers.
If you choose hand stitches then you'll have variety of options for yourself. The bedding shops have outstanding stock of bed quilt sets which have lovely hand-appliqued patterns and each applique in the quilt is hand assembled from start to finish. The edges of the hand appliqued sets are scalloped and firmly connected for durability. The hand-appliqued works have vermicelli quilted which make them more resilient.
3 Explanations Why You Might Still Be A Beginner At Polka Dot Twin Sheets
When it concerns pillow cases, luxury bedding sets can differ a lot. They'll also call them different things, like shams. Shams, pillow cases, and pillow covers, though, are all the same thing. Generally the size of the bed that the luxury bed linens are suggested to fit will dictate the number of pillow covers you get. Numerous sets also consist of covers for throw pillows or neck pillows, sometimes in seemingly random quantities. If you have extra cushions, be prepared to purchase covers individually, as it's extremely difficult to discover a luxury bedding set that consists of precisely what you require, and absolutely nothing even more.

In case you are fighting acne due to allergy arising from mites, you could always set the issue straight making use of options like Clearpores Skin Cleansing System.
In buy to stop the dirtiness within the quilts and pillows, it really is greater to cover them while in the polka dot twin sheets assortiment.

And when it can be sunny, individuals ought to certainly just take all of the bedding short articles to indulge in the sunshine at the well-ventilated area with no direct daylight. The proper timing is from 10 within the morning to 3 while in the afternoon. In addition to that, when you prefer to gather the bedding posts, it is better for you to keep them dry and find them inside the well-ventilated area.

Lots of people believe that thread count is only crucial when handling sheets. Nevertheless, all linens are produced in a variety of different thread counts. Thread count describes exactly how firmly a material is woven. When you are buying a duvet, the thread count will have a direct impact on the lightness and softness of the material. If you wish to discover a high-quality duvet, you should look for thread counts of 250 or higher.

Both silk and down are very extravagant bedding fillings and eventually need to be treated with a degree of care. Down is a three dimensional cluster found on the belly of geese and ducks and is exactly what secures them from the elements. These clusters have countless tiny fibers, however do not contain quills, so they're actually bundles of fluff. It is this fluff which traps huge pockets of air making down an extremely reliable insulator, yet light and lofty.

5 Strategies To Get Through Replacing Your Polka Dot Twin Sheets

There certainly are a range of quilts around the market, so you can have numerous choices. However, the true trick is usually to select the suitable one which can allow you've an exceptional sleep. Concerning me, I would decide to select the down quilt. The down quilt is referred to as probably the most lightweight quilt, and its primary fillings are goose down and duck down. Generally speaking, the down quilt which consists of above 50 % of down can be the high-quality down quilt. In addition to the advantages of down quilt are excellent warm-keeping feature, moisture absorption together with breathability, so it is quite dry. Due to its other characteristics of softness, lightweight and delicateness, the down quilt will not develop any overbearing perception, so it really is specifically appropriate for those who have high blood pressure, heart issues, or bad the circulation of blood, the old, the pregnant along with youngsters and so forth.
But, you can not prevent washing down comforters at some time even if they are safeguarded. Right here is a great way think about it and keep in mind the formula. Down are feathers and are typically the feathers of geese. Exactly how do you expect a goose keeps its feather clean? Cold water is the right answer to that. And, think about this. Exactly how would a goose do in an agitating washing piece of equipment? It's an ugly idea but a terrific illustration of exactly what not to do. So, exactly what does this mean? It means you ought to wash you down comforter in a front loading piece of equipment like they have in laundry mats not leading loading agitating piece of equipment like you find in the majority of houses. The agitating piece of equipment can damage the comforter entirely. The key is a gentle cycle of cold water.

HBO The Science of Relapse by DonQuixoteBac
It was his first album of original material since Encore, following a four-year hiatus from recording due to his writer's block and an addiction to prescription sleeping medication.
Writer's block is a condition, primarily associated with writing, in which an author loses the ability to produce new work, or experiences a creative slowdown.
Recording sessions for the album took place during 2007 to 2009 at several recording studios, and Dr. Dre, Mark Batson, and Eminem handled production.
A recording studio is a specialized facility for sound recording, mixing, and audio production of instrumental or vocal musical performances, spoken words, and other sounds.
Andre Romelle Young, better known by his stage name Dr. Dre, is an American rapper, record producer and entrepreneur.

How you Can Live a Healthy Life in NYC Right Now
How to Live a Sustainable, Healthy Life in New York City
While dense urban environments like New York City may seem disconnected from nature and a sustainable way of life, there are many ways to be green in NYC without sacrificing what makes the city so special.
From the abundance of eco-friendly restaurant options, to mass transit options that reduce emissions, to plentiful parks that provide space to recharge, New York has many elements that make it possible for you and your family to live well in a sustainable way.
One way to start a healthier, more eco-friendly life is to choose a home that incorporates sustainability and wellness throughout. Doing so gives you a strong foundation from which you can then enjoy the many amazing qualities and attractions of New York that make it such a great place for people from all walks and stages of life.
Green Buildings Provide an Environment for Wellness
New York City apartments are increasingly going green in a way that enables healthy living for more New Yorkers. While the definition of green buildings can vary, in general, these are complexes that incorporate eco-friendly features ranging from the use of sustainable building materials to having efficient heating and cooling systems. As a result, these buildings reduce carbon emissions and other pollutants that affect air quality and cause climate change, which ultimately threatens the viability of living in coastal cities like New York.
In addition, many green buildings have healthy, environmentally friendly attributes such as non-toxic paint that inhibits mold, lush gardens that clean the air and contribute to mental wellness, water filtration systems that provide clean water, and large energy-efficient windows that provide ample sunshine.
These types of features go a long way toward helping you and your family feel your best physically and mentally, which often makes it easier to adopt more sustainable, wellness-inspired actions. By feeling good at home, for example, you may be more inspired to cook healthy and environmentally-friendly meals, drink from reusable water bottles filled from the tap, and have the energy to walk around New York more.
How to Find Green Buildings in New York
New York City is a leader in green building development, both in terms of new construction and retrofitting existing ones to be more environmentally friendly. The city has an initiative, for example, to reduce building-based emissions by 30% by 2025, and so far 22 residential property management companies that comprise 8% of the city's residential square footage have signed on.
To find ones that already have taken steps to be green, look for buildings that have received sustainability designations, such as those from LEED®. The LEED® certification program from the U.S. Green Building Council provides an independent assessment of a building's sustainability, with four levels starting from LEED® Certified up to LEED® Platinum. Overall, New York has over 2,000 LEED® certifications and registrations across all types of buildings, according to the Green Building Information Gateway.
The Visionaire Sets the Platinum Standard
While there are a number of green buildings in NYC, there's a more limited number of sustainable apartment complexes. However, one apartment building that stands out for combining sustainability with luxury is The Visionaire in Battery Park City, the first LEED® Platinum condo building on the entire East Coast.
As a LEED® Platinum building, The Visionaire has a plethora of impressive eco-friendly features that help families live healthy lives, including a high-efficiency air filtration system and centralized water filtration system that provide clean air and water in each home and throughout the building. The complex also includes eco-friendly amenities such as a state-of-the-art rooftop garden and a children's playroom built from sustainable materials such as recycled tire rubber.
Even the design of The Visionaire's curved exterior is purposefully constructed to allow for more efficient heating and cooling and to maximize the amount of natural light that flows into residences, which reduces the need to always have lights on and provides for a peaceful, welcoming atmosphere. The Visionaire also has tremendous views and close proximity to New York's waterways, which can help you feel more connected to nature within the urban jungle.
The Modern Agent Understands Sustainability
If you're looking for a home that inspires wellness and sustainable living, The Modern Agent is the agent for you, as we incorporate these values in our own practice. Led by Mukul "Micky" Lalchandani, who has completed LEED® accreditation classes, The Modern Agent is an expert on green homes like those at The Visionaire.
Our goal is to be carbon-neutral at a minimum and place more families into sustainable homes, as residential real estate can otherwise be one of the greatest contributors to climate change, such as with the waste and pollution that tends to come from construction. Fortunately, that tide is turning.
Learn more about how The Visionaire helps New Yorkers live healthy, eco-friendly lives, and if you're ready to start living green, get in touch with The Modern Agent today.

2018 Apple iPhones To Drop Qualcomm Chips for Intel
Apple is about to launch its new line of iPhones for 2018 at its September event. The leaks and rumours about the smartphone suggest there will be a relatively cheaper iPhone along with the usual flagship this year. Apple iPhones going forward may not use Qualcomm wireless chipsets in favour of Intel modems.
Also Read: Apple iPhone Front Panels Leaked Images Reveal Thin Bezels
There is a state of turmoil between Apple and Qualcomm. The chipset manufacturing company wanted to charge Apple a percentage of the company's revenue for using Qualcomm's modems. This led to the company suing Qualcomm for a hefty amount. In the US, Qualcomm might have to pay $1 million. Now, according to the Chief Financial Officer of Qualcomm, the new 2018 iPhones will not be using the company's modems. Instead, the smartphones may launch with an Intel modem. There are still a few months before the 2018 iPhones will launch so this news should not affect the launch whatsoever. However, it is worth noting that iPhones have been using Qualcomm modems for a long time. For Apple to switch over to Intel for its wireless chipset is natural since Qualcomm and Intel are the two of the biggest chipset manufacturing companies.
How Will This Affect The New Apple iPhones?
As mentioned previously, the decision to go with an Intel modem may not affect the iPhones all that much. However, it will be interesting to see how the Intel LTE modems perform as compared to ones by Qualcomm.
In 2017 the Apple filed the first lawsuit against Qualcomm and the two have been exchanging lawsuits since. The 2018 iPhones will remain unaffected by the company's decision to not use Qualcomm chipsets. However, Intel announced that it will not be able to produce 5G ready modems by 2019 so it will be interesting to see what Apple decides to do in 2019.

The financial crisis – time for a fresh start for Europe's public services?
"No one doubts that the global financial crisis presents unique challenges for public services in the EU" says Michael Burnett, public service delivery expert at the European Institute of Public Administration (EIPA), launching a new EIPA initiative. But, he predicts, "Some will find new ways of delivering services and new opportunities in this crisis".
As part of this initiative EIPA will organise a new seminar on "Delivering public services in a time of financial crisis - Choices, challenges and opportunities" on 6 and 7 July 2009 in Maastricht (NL).
"We aim to bring together those responsible in public administrations for making the hard choices we will all face in the coming months and years, explain what the crisis is and what it means for public services" he says. "From there we will look at the tough questions everyone is asking and start to map the way forward".
Mr Burnett highlights some of the questions which the initiative will deal with ie How can governments maintain quality of service when faced by budgetary constraints? Does the crisis create opportunities for innovation in service delivery? Will the environmental agenda be quietly sidelined? Or is "green growth" the way out of the crisis for European governments? How should European governments balance support for employment now and support for employability in the future?
"None of these are easy to deal with" Mr Burnett continues "but by coming together and sharing experiences we can help to learn how they fit together and how others are tackling them and start to develop answers which fit Europe's diverse needs".

Kasaz, a real estate portal that's claim is that they are the most trustworthy, has reached an agreement with the real estate network Coldwell Banker to facilitate property sales.
This agreement has been possible due to the historical interest of Coldwell Banker in capturing quality contacts, a factor that is also part of Kasaz's core. It's a quality that the portal achieves through its well-known publications, since it does not allow publication of more than an advertisement for property, requires that the photographs of the property are professional, contrasts the data provided with those registered in the cadastre and verifies all the information of the property, functioning as well as a natural filter for potential buyers. In this way, users can trust that the information they see in the portal is reality.
According to the agreement, Coldwell Banker will advise its agencies and franchised agents to publish the announcements of their properties for sale to the platform as a priority, since it is the only platform that instead of charging a monthly fee, charges advertisers when they get qualified contacts to visit the properties.
With these conditions, Coldwell Banker will sell its properties in a more efficient way and aligned with the needs of users and customers, by relying on the Kasaz method of putting the user at the center of operations, in addition to putting the quality above of the overwhelming number of false, misleading and dubiously reliable advertisements that abound in certain other real estate portals.
For his part, Sébastien Marion, CEO and Founder of Kasaz, said about this agreement with Coldwell Banker: "It is a great privilege to sign this agreement with one of the most prestigious international real estate agencies. Coldwell Banker focuses on delivering quality and the fact that they have chosen Kasaz as a new broadcast channel positions us as an important alternative to large portals. "
François Carriere, President and CEO of Coldwell Banker Spain, has stated that based on the policy and values, such as efficiency and transparency, of Coldwell Banker, the Kasaz concept is aligned, with a publication linked to the result, the controlled leads and prequalified François Carriere also insists, as real estate agents we are accustomed to charging the result, and with Kasaz it is only charged if qualified leads are received.
Kasaz and Coldwell Banker are two companies that fight for transparency within the real estate sector and are committed to the quality of the real estate they sell.

I. Background
In recent years, many important initiatives have been undertaken by regulatory authorities and industry associations to promote international harmonization of regulatory requirements. FDA has participated in many meetings designed to enhance harmonization and is committed to seeking scientifically based harmonized technical procedures for pharmaceutical development. One of the goals of harmonization is to identify and then reduce differences in technical requirements for drug development among regulatory agencies.
ICH was organized to provide an opportunity for tripartite harmonization initiatives to be developed with input from both regulatory and industry representatives. FDA also seeks input from consumer representatives and others. ICH is concerned with harmonization of technical requirements for the registration of pharmaceutical products among three regions: The European Union, Japan, and the United States. The six ICH sponsors are the European Commission; the European Federation of Pharmaceutical Industries Associations; the Japanese Ministry of Health, Labour, and Welfare; the Japanese Pharmaceutical Manufacturers Association; the Centers for Drug Evaluation and Research and Biologics Evaluation and Research, FDA; and the Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America. The ICH Secretariat, which coordinates the preparation of documentation, is provided by the International Federation of Pharmaceutical Manufacturers Associations (IFPMA).
The ICH Steering Committee includes representatives from each of the ICH sponsors and the IFPMA, as well as observers from the World Health Organization, Health Canada, and the European Free Trade Area.
In the Federal Register of March 30, 2004 (69 FR 16580), FDA published a notice announcing the availability of a draft tripartite guidance entitled "Q5E Comparability of Biotechnological/Biological Products Subject to Changes in Their Manufacturing Process." The notice gave interested persons an opportunity to submit comments by May 19, 2004.
After consideration of the comments received and revisions to the guidance, a final draft of the guidance was submitted to the ICH Steering Committee and endorsed by the three participating regulatory agencies in November 2004.
The document provides guidance on the principles for assessing the comparability of biotechnological/biological products before and after changes are made in the manufacturing process for the drug substance or drug product. The document does not prescribe any particular analytical, nonclinical, or clinical strategy. The main focus of the document is on quality aspects.
This guidance is being issued consistent with FDA's good guidance practices regulations (21 CFR 10.115). The guidance represents the agency's current thinking on Q5E comparability of biotechnological/biological products subject to changes in their manufacturing process. It does not create or confer any rights for or on any person and does not operate to bind FDA or the public. An alternative approach may be used if such approach satisfies the requirements of the applicable statutes and regulations.
Note that FDA may have existing guidance on this or related topics, such as "FDA Guidance Concerning Demonstration of Comparability of Human Biological Products, Including Therapeutic Biotechnology-derived Products," available at http://www.fda.gov/cber/gdlns/comptest.txt.Start Printed Page 37862
II. Comments
Interested persons may submit to the Division of Dockets Management (see ADDRESSES) written or electronic comments on the guidance at any time. Submit a single copy of electronic comments or two paper copies of any mailed comments, except that individuals may submit one paper copy. Comments are to be identified with the docket number found in brackets in the heading of this document. The guidance and received comments may be seen in the Division of Dockets Management between 9 a.m. and 4 p.m., Monday through Friday.
