Part of the fun of working with truly large machines is that one gets to discover new scalability surprises before anybody else. So the SGI folks often have more fun than many of the rest of us. Their latest discovery has to do with the number of kernel threads which, on a 4096-processor system, leads to some interesting kernel behaviour.
To begin, they found out that they could not even boot a kernel with the default configuration. Linux systems normally have a limit of 32768 active processes at any given time. Anybody who has run "ps" will have noted that kernel threads are taking up an increasing number of those slots; your editor's single-processor desktop is running 39 of them. In fact, there are now enough kernel threads on a typical system that they will fill that entire space -- and more -- on a 4096-CPU machine. This problem is relatively easy to take care of by raising the limit on the number of processes. But it gets more interesting from there.
The init process is the parent of last resort for every other process on the system, including kernel threads. So, on a big system, init has a lot of child processes. These children live on a big linked list; that list must be searched by various functions, including the variants of wait(). If the process being searched for is toward the end of the list, that search can take a long time. Since (1) most kernel threads are long-lived, and (2) new processes are put at the end of the list, chances are that a search will, indeed, be looking for a process at the end.
Then, for the ultimate in fun, load a module into the kernel. The module loading process calls stop_machine_run() when the new module is being linked in; this function creates a high-priority kernel thread for each processor on the system. That thread will grab its assigned CPU and simply sit there until told to exit; while all CPUs are locked up in this way the linking process can be performed. Calling a function like stop_machine_run() is a somewhat antisocial act in the best of times. But, in the 4096-processor system, stop_machine_run() will create 4096 threads, each of which goes on the end of init's child list, and each of which must be searched for when the time comes to clean it up. The result is a system which simply stops for an extended period of time.
One could argue that people with systems that large simply should not load modules, but there is a possibility of pushback from the user community. So other solutions need to be found. Robin Holt's problem report included a simple patch which moves exiting processes to the beginning of the child list. This change solves the immediate problem by making searches for those children find them without having to iterate through all of the long-lived processes which are not going anywhere.
Linus had a couple of alternatives. One was to create a separate list for zombie processes, eliminating that search altogether. Another was to stop making kernel threads be children of the init process since they have little to do with user space in any case. But some developers feel that the real solution might be to start cutting back on the number of kernel threads.
The biggest culprit for kernel thread creation will certainly be workqueues, which, by default, create one thread for every CPU on the system. There are situations which can benefit from multiple threads and CPU locality, but there are undoubtedly many places where all of those threads are not needed. Cleaning them up would help to solve some of the scalability issues; as an added bonus it would remove some of the clutter from ps listings.
In many cases, a workqueue may not be necessary at all. Instead, kernel subsystems could just use the "generic" keventd workqueue (which runs as the events/n threads). There are some issues with using keventd, including indeterminate latency and a small possibility of deadlocks, but, for many situations, it may work well enough.
In other cases, using a thread makes sense. Tasks involving long delays are one example; running a function with multi-second delays in keventd is considered impolite. Work requiring complicated context also benefits from its own thread. But, in a number of cases, those threads need not be created until there is actually some work to be done. A quick ps run on most systems will show threads related to error handling, asynchronous I/O, bluetooth, and more. In the current scheme, they are created at boot (or module load) time and many of them may never do any real work before the system shuts down. Thread creation is cheap, so many of these threads could be created on demand when they are needed.
There are probably some real improvements to be made in this area; all that's needed is somebody with the time and motivation to do the work. In the mean time, those of you with 4096-way systems may need to apply a patch or two.

WASHINGTON — If you could see ideas, the landscape of Washington would be waist deep with them. The conservative Heritage Foundation, the more moderate American Enterprise Institute, the Democrat-dominated Brookings Institution, Georgetown University's Center for Strategic and International Studies, the beehives of pressure and interest groups -- they churn out new ideas, new policy plans and initiatives by the thousands, on every conceivable front.
If the ideas were visible, you could see that most of them are rusted-out hulks today. Oh, the outlines are still there -- the fins and grillwork that give them their distinctive lines -- but move closer. The floorboards are gone, the upholstery is moldering, vermin have moved into the trunk. To a shocking degree, Washington is the junkyard of new ideas.

Employees of Conectiv, a Wilmington-based energy service company, recently garnered a top award as the Public Relations Society of America (PRSA) announced its 2001 Silver Anvil Award winners. PRSA awarded the Silver Anvil, one of the communications industry's most prestigious awards, to the customer satisfaction communications program implemented by Conectiv.
The objective of the program, launched in early 2001, was to highlight the work that employees do to provide reliable service. Employees from across the company lent their faces and voices to communicate the steps the company was taking to provide reliable electricity while working to minimize outages and service interruptions. The most notable success of the program came in increasing Overall Customer Satisfaction in the company by 15% over the previous year, the second largest year-to-year improvement for east coast utilities.
"Every Conectiv employee contributed to the success of this program, and in turn shares in a piece of this honor," said Michael Ratchford, Vice President of Corporate Communications at Conectiv. "By speaking out on their commitment to reliable service on both a personal and company-wide level, our employees were able to bridge the gap with our customers and re-establish our tradition of high customer satisfaction."
Employees from all divisions of the company, and from every region in which the utility provides electrical service, served as the faces and voices behind the message that "Every Job is About Reliability." Employees also served as "grassroots spokespersons" through a Speakers Bureau which allowed them to communicate messages about system improvements, maintaining operations, preventing problems, and quick response.
"I've worked at Conectiv for over 25 years and was proud to communicate my role in maintaining reliable service," said Theresa Trader, District Resources Senior Coordinator in Conectiv's Salisbury, Md. office. "I knew personally how effective the ads were, because folks in the community would mention that they felt a stronger connection with the company when they saw someone they knew in the ads."
Conectiv received the Silver Anvil in the Institutional Programs (Business-Services) category. This year's competition received over 600 entries, with only 45 selected as Silver Anvil Award winners. Programs were submitted by corporations, communications firms, non-profit organizations and academic and cultural institutions from around the nation.
Conectiv, a Fortune 500 company headquartered in Wilmington, Del., is focused on two core energy businesses. Conectiv Power Delivery provides safe, reliable, and affordable regulated energy delivery service to more than one million customers in New Jersey, Delaware, Maryland, and Virginia. Conectiv Energy uses a sophisticated power-trading unit to optimize the value of a growing portfolio of mid-merit power plants that can start and stop quickly in response to changes in the demand for power within the PJM [Pennsylvania-New Jersey-Maryland] power pool.

As I wrote in my last post, I've recently left the confines of the 'glorified shed' to venture on a few small shorts breaks. Both times I've been quite happy to return to my rural haven, but what those breaks did do, was highlight our present lack of facilities and the strange glamping existence that we currently lead.
The months we've spent here, managing with impromptu accommodation whilst renovating this former workshop, have just become quite normal to us. It's not until we go away that we realise that we're actually living some alternative existence.
Our recent Travelodge stay seemed total luxury – I mean bedroom walls, can you believe it? At the 'shed' our bedroom is just an area created by strategically placed furniture. The internal walls that we do have are mostly bare, but at the Travelodge they were painted! And oh the bliss of having our own bathroom – don't worry we do shower, we just have to pop round to my mother-in-law's to be able to do so.
And then of course there was Pontin's. Although accommodation was modest, there was a kitchen with a real cooker. At the shed we just have a mini oven and a microwave sitting on an old workbench. I even got to wash up in an authentic kitchen sink; here the arrangement is a series of bowls that sit on an old camping table. Oh how the other half live!
It's amazing how after some eight months or so of making do, the smallest of things can seem like treasured luxuries.
Don't get me wrong. We're managing quite nicely in our little 'work-in-progress', but once in a while it is nice to remind ourselves of the niceties of 'normal' life. And of course, these reminders spur us on to get things moving here. Of course daily life has a habit of taking over, slowing down progress. To save money, we're only pulling in people to attend to such matters as plumbing and electrics, for everything else it's a question of do it as and when we can. But slowly and surely things are happening, and one day we'll have the home that we really want.
In the meantime there's always Travelodge!

Professional developments
No, no major news on the post-MLIS career opportunities front at this point. But I'm very pleased about two developments: I have accepted my first ALA co-chair position: the LIRT Teaching, Learning and Technology committee likes me, it really likes me.
Also, I've been invited to give a presentation on instructional podcasting at the GALILEO/GOLD conference in August with my friend/colleague/co-podcaster Rachel. Details will follow in case any interested Georgians are reading this.

By now, it's accepted by all but the most deluded Tea Party zealots that the insidious Bush administration took this country to war under false pretenses. There was a point when the vessel of justice could have been righted and a course for a better tomorrow could have been charted, but instead, lies were upheld, misinformation was spread like so much manure, and the moment was gone. Fair Game is a film about that moment.
Naomi Watts stars as Valerie Plame Wilson, the CIA operative whose undercover status was blown in retaliation for her husband Joe Wilson (Sean Penn) writing a New York Times op-ed piece in which he revealed that the justification for going to war with Iraq — that Saddam Hussein was building weapons of mass destruction — was a complete fabrication on the part of the war criminals in the White House. Fair Game tracks the lives of the Wilsons both professionally and personally, showing how the political fallout was placing a severe strain on their marriage.
The most fascinating element of this important picture is the philosophical difference that exists between the central characters. Joe is an idealist, honestly believing that he can take on the neocon thugs and win the battle. Valerie, meanwhile, is a realist, realizing the futility of any such efforts and initially preferring to keep her head down. It's an interesting dichotomy, because while our hearts side with Joe, our minds know — and, more regrettably, our current history proves — that Valerie was right.

Quantum Legos
Quantum computers have the same problem--what to use for memory? But in the quantum case you not only have to store 0s and 1s but all possible quantum superpositions of a 0 and a 1--the so-called "quantum bit" or "qubit". Several physical systems from single photons to superconducting loops have been suggested for realizing qubits including single ions.
An ion is an atom or molecule that has become electrically charged by adding or removing electrons.
Isolating a single ion has up till now involved a large and complicated array of electric and magnetic fields that form an "ion trap"--sometimes called Penning or Paul traps. But recently scientists at NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology) have developed a small silicon chip (pictured above) that can trap single ions, opening the possibility of assembling large arrays of ionic qubits by stacking these silicon modules like Lego blocks.
The development of "Quantum Legos" by physicists Dietrich Leibfried, Jason Amini and their colleagues at NIST may well be the crucial breakthrough that takes quantum computers out of the laboratory and into our bedrooms.
From Popular Science August 2010. Thanks brother Tom.

BIGG BOSS 6: Salman Khan becomes highest paid TV actor
No one can deny his star power on the big screen. But even as Salman Khan returns for the third consecutive season of Bigg Boss today, we hear that his pay packet for the small screen too has gone up significantly.tv Updated: Oct 08, 2012 10:52 IST
No one can deny his star power on the big screen. But even as Salman Khan returns for the third consecutive season of Bigg Boss today, we hear that his pay packet for the small screen too has gone up significantly.
After taking home Rs. 2.8 - Rs. 3 crore per episode last year, the actor will pocket a cool Rs. 3.8 to Rs. 4 crore per episode this time around. The earlier season had seen Sanjay Dutt play co-host as Salman was either busy shooting for Ek Tha Tiger or coping with his illness. This time, however, the star will be present from the start to finish and is being paid big bucks for this commitment.
Incidentally, this also makes Salman the highest-paid Bollywood actor on the tube, followed by Aamir Khan (Satyamev Jayate,
Rs. 3 crore per episode), Shah Rukh Khan (Total Wipeout: Zor Ka Jhatka,
Rs. 2 crore per episode), Hrithik Roshan (Just Dance, Rs. 2 crore per episode), and Akshay Kumar (Khatron Ke Khiladi season four, Rs. 1.5 crore per episode). Amitabh Bachchan, though, is in a different league altogether. He has signed a whopping deal of Rs. 100 crore for three seasons of Kaun Banega Crorepati.
Bigg Boss is close to Salman. His family loves it and he is aware of its popularity. A source close to the show says, "Salman relates to Bigg Boss because of the concept and its appeal. He appreciates the fact that the show allows people who are usually misunderstood to prove themselves in the house. The public too loves watching his real side and he gets a chance to meet people from all walks of life. The fact that he insisted that the show become family-oriented and air at 9 pm, shows his involvement and interest in it."
Inside the Bigg Boss House
With season six of the Colors reality show, Bigg Boss, beginning tonight, I, along with 14 other journalists, got an opportunity to get a feel of the house way before the contestants.
I was let into the house with a mike and a blindfold. Along with a pool, a gymnasium, an aquarium, and surprisingly, a hand pump, the spacious garden also includes the statues of the three monkeys depicting 'Sal-mannerisms' (See no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil). With around 70 cameras in the house, hiding from the voyeuristic eye is almost impossible.
Comprising over 15,000 sq feet, the house is the largest so far, and designed by Bollywood set designer Sabu Cyril, in vibrant colours — white, yellow, orange and green. It comprises a living area, two bedrooms — one arranged in the style of flower petals and the other of double and single beds and the captain's room with an attached bathroom. And the famous confession room now has a futuristic look with a metallic finish.
With vaastu and feng-shui elements introduced in the house to maintain peace and harmony, the makers are serious about making the show apt for family audiences.
After the 14 journalists arrived, the booming voice, saying, "Bigg Boss chahte hain" (Bigg Boss wants) gave us our first task — to eat 10 bananas in one go. We sportingly took up the task and enjoyed it to the core. When it was time for refreshments, Bigg Boss gave us a good meal, saving us the trouble of preparing a meal for ourselves.
Time flew and just when we were about to call it a day, Bigg Boss gave us another task — to prepare a dessert. Two teams prepared fruit custard, with my team ultimately winning the task. A long day of fun and gossip finally came to an end. Next morning, we were woken up by the loud Bigg Boss title song, indicating that soon it was time to leave the house.

Small tablets led by Apple iPad Mini seem to be the big sellers this holiday season and could become the majority of tablets. Tablets with 8 inch displays will open the market to new buyers who are attracted to their more portable size and cheaper price.
Apple entered the small tablet market with its iPad Mini in order to capture the small tablet market segment that is dominated by the 7 inch Android tablets, but with a near 8 inch display the tablet has created its own segment with many followers launching such similar devices.
Following the same lines, last week, Karbonn Velox Tab, an 8-inch offering from the Indian manufacturer was spotted online. Now, it seems like Karbonn has launched the device in the Indian market at a competitive price tag of Rs 7,025.
Karbonn Velox Tab packs an 8 inch display and runs on Android 4.1 Jelly Bean operating system. As of now, the tablet is available for purchase from online retailer Saholic.com, which is the retail arm of Spice.
At the same time, Swipe Telecom, a California based manufacturer has also launched an 8 inch Jelly Bean tablet dubbed as Velocity Tab recently into the Indian market at an attractive price of Rs 11,490.
Below is a comparison between the newly launched 8 inch Android Jelly Bean tablet offerings available at budget price tags. Read it and decide which is a good buy.
Dimensions and Weight: While the dimensions and weight of Velox Tab 8 are not known, Velocity Tab measures 209 x 163 x 0.5 mm and weighs in at 330 grams.
Display: When it comes to display, both Velox Tab 8 and Velocity Tab have an 8 inch HD capacitive touchscreen display with 1024 x 768 pixel resolution. However, the Swipe offering has an IPS panel with 5-point multi-touch support.
Processor: In this segment, Velox Tab 8 comes with a 1.5GHz dual core processor, whereas, Velocity Tab has a dual core Cortex A9 processor of unknown clock speed.
Operating System: On the OS front, both the tablets score the same with Android 4.1 Jelly Bean OS including new features such as Project Butter, expandable and contractible notifications, resizable app widgets, live wallpaper preview, high resolution contact photos, improved Android Beam and many more.
Camera: When it comes to camera optics, Velox Tab 8 has a 3MP rear camera and a VGA front camera, on the other hand, Velocity Tab has a 2MP rear camera and 1.3MP front camera for video calling.
Storage: In terms of storage, the Karbonn offering has 1.5GB in-built storage and a micro SD card slot supporting up to 32GB additional storage.
In comparison, Swipe tablet has 1GB RAM, 8GB onboard storage and expandable storage up to 32GB by means of micro SD card slot.
Connectivity: On the connectivity front, Velox Tab 8 and Velocity Tab comes packed with Wi-Fi, 3G through Dongle and HDMI ports. Further, the Karbonn offering scores more with the presence of Bluetooth support.
Battery: As claimed by the companies, both the devices are powered by a 4,500 mAh battery.
Price: Speaking of pricing, Karbonn Velox Tab 8 and Swipe Velocity Tab are priced at Rs 7,025 and Rs 11,490 respectively.
Analyzing the specs and pricing, both Karbonn Velox Tab 8 and Swipe Velocity Tab seem to be good offerings with pretty decent spes and reasonable price tags.
If the concern is on a relatively lesser price tag, Bluetooth connectivity support and a faster processor, Karbonn Velox Tab 8 could be a better choice.
On the other hand, if the concern is on a better display, improved front camera performance and increased internal storage option, the Swipe ofering should be the right option.

COSTA MESA — In an emergency meeting Friday, the Costa Mesa Redevelopment Agency passed on a chance to inject $1.3 million into the city's general fund after the board failed to second board member Wendy Leece's motion to repay a loan to the city.
City staff told the board that lawmakers in Sacramento are working on a bill that could dissolve all of California's 425 redevelopment agencies and take the money that belongs to them with it. Costa Mesa's agency has more than $10 million, but most of that is already designated to city projects.
A chunk of that though, a little more than $1.3 million, is undesignated and could be paid back to Costa Mesa's general fund so it can be used locally instead of redistributed by the state, officials said.

Here's another piece of beautiful writing from another one of my favorite writers, Raymond Chandler. As in my post on Neil Gaiman, I'll give a plain, stripped-down rendering of the passage followed by the original. This one is from The Long Goodbye:
The white-haired man told the girl he had sold his convertible. He explained he needed the money to eat. He didn't sound drunk. The girl moved away from him and grew distant. Then she became as cold as ice toward him.
And now the Chandler:
The white-haired lad said politely: "Awfully sorry, but I don't have it any more. I was compelled to sell it." From his voice and articulation you wouldn't have known he had anything stronger than orange juice to drink.
"Sold it, darling? How do you mean?" She slid away from him along the seat but her voice slid away a lot farther than that.
"I mean I had to," he said. "For eating money."
"Oh, I see." A slice of spumoni wouldn't have melted on her now.
Wow. This is something. Chandler packs a lot into a few sentences. It tells us what is happening: A date just hit a speed bump. It reveals something about each character: He is drunk and broke, and she is a lot more interested in his convertible (and his money) than she is in him. Chandler does this using very few adjectives. But that doesn't mean the writing is drab. Indeed, Chandler includes two very beautiful metaphors that are not hackneyed or well-worn. He takes the cliches "she became distant," and "she was as cold as ice," and makes them fresh. These metaphors make the passage lyrical without taking away from its hard-boiled, staccato rhythm. And that is why this bit of writing pops.
Do you have a favorite passage or line from Chandler (or a top five)? Do you have a favorite fresh metaphor or piece of figurative language from another author?

How storefronts contribute to neighborhoods
I lived in San Francisco for almost five years, right when the gentrification debate was hitting its stride. People were throwing rocks and slashing tires of the Google Buses, Smart Cars were being flipped over in the Mission, and anti-yuppy graffiti was everywhere. These same issues are happening in cities across the country (and world) because the number of young people who enjoy the conveniences of a city has sky-rocketed in the last 10-15 years1, and cities have essentially been caught with their pants down. They're just not built to quickly respond to such a significant demographic change.
Millenials really like walkability and short commutes ↩

I believe this is the most reasonable deal. If there were any flows in painter's job it will show up in the first few months, definitely within a year or two. Three years will give you extra contingency. It is highly unlikely that there will be any paint damage due to painters fault after the first few years.
Whoever you chose for your painting project I strongly recommend that you never settle for anything less, and question longer warrantees - they are not necessarily better, but you have to know what to look for.
There are 2 parts to every painters guarantee:
- Manufacturer's guarantee on paint
Premium quality paints have 10 years manufacturers guarantee (with few general exceptions), but paint must be applied correctly. I previously wrote about in details.
- Warrantee against faulty workmanship.
99% of poor paint performance is caused by painters mistake in preparations or paint choose. This warrantee requires a painter will fix any faults in their work within specified period for free. Keep in mind that this warrantee does not cover damage from external factors, eg. water damage.
1 year or less warrantee usually is a sign of a poor workmanship and/or low quality materials being used.
More then 3 years warrantee on labour is misleading, as it makes you feel you are getting a better deal, when you don't. It is highly unlikely that any damage due to painters fault will appear after initial few years. Ussualy it would be caused by external factors that are not covered by any warrantee – eg. water leak, dry rot, timber cracking, decay of lover layers of paint or plaster). Some 5 years warrantees are made under the pressure from a manufacturer in exchange for an advertisement and certification.
10 years warrantee is so excessive, I would seriously question it! Most likely you will receive only a manufacturer's warrantee on paint, and it does not cover a faulty workmanship at all. In addition, many painting companies are less then 10 years old businesses. When they give you 10 years guarantee – this is just not serious!

I'm not sure when I first heard about Zentangles. I know it was back before I discovered Joanna Campbell Slan's scrapbooking mysteries, because reading those kept reminding me that I wanted to give it a try. My first attempt last year was a total failure and got the idea out of my system for a while.
Then the library got a book and our power went out for two days and there was really nothing better to do. Since then, I've tried a couple more. I'm much happier with these attempts, and I can see myself doing more of this. I've got a book about Zentangling on quilts and I'm drooling about some of the tangled objects I've seen on Pinterest, especially the shoes!
Apparently, you're not supposed to use ball point pens on the backs of lined index cards, but it's not like I worry about using the proper materials for my quilting, either.

February is almost here, which means it's almost American Heart Month. With heart disease being the number one killer among both men and women in the US, it's time to start taking action. Individuals with diabetes are at an even greater risk for developing this deadly condition. In fact, a person with diabetes has as great a risk of suffering a heart attack as an individual who has already had a previous heart attack. However, maintaining healthy blood glucose levels is key in protecting your heart and fighting against this disease.
Former professional basketball player and Hall of Fame member Dominique Wilkins, who was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes one year after retirement, understands the importance of managing your diabetes. As an athlete, he understands the need for a team approach, whether you are on the court or taking care of your own health. When it comes to diabetes, forming your own winning team is essential for success. As Dominique points out, you need to have all of the major players on your team, including your physician, dietitian, personal trainer, and even your family members and social network. Diabetes isn't a condition that should manage on your own. Utilizing each of your team members is vital to achieving the best health possible.
With this in mind, Dominique has helped to create the Diabetes Dream Team (diabetesdreamteam.com), a great resource with tips and tricks to helping you take control on your blood glucose levels. As you work towards better glucose management, make sure that you work on assembling your own dream team. See your physician regularly. Work with your dietitian to help plan your meals and balance your glucose levels. Seek out the help of a personal trainer to increase your daily physical activity. And don't forget to enlist your family and friends as your cheerleaders to keep you motivated along the way. Managing diabetes is a journey, not a destination. But with the right dream team on hand, you can gain the best control possible and allow yourself to live a long and healthy life.
I was so thankful to be invited to the HAB Research and Culinary Event at the 2014 Food and Nutrition Conference and Expo (FNCE) that was hosted at the White Oak Kitchen in Atlanta by Hass Avocado. Not only did the event include an amazing menu, but networking with many of the top nutrition experts in the country along with avocado growers, researchers, and HAB Executive Director Emiliano Escobedo, was an experience unlike any other.
If you are an avocado lover, or a health care provider that recommends avocados, I am sure you are aware of many of their great health benefits, such as being a great source of heart healthy monounsaturated fats. With avocados, they are so versatile, you can find ways for almost anyone to include them in their diet from mashing them to use as a butter substitute in a baked good recipe, to slicing them up to have on a sandwich. But, the menu at the HAB event, along with a great cooking demo by the White Oak Kitchen chef, really opened my eyes to so many additional ways avocados can be incorporated into a meal. For instance, when you think of dessert, you don't always think "avocado," but after this event, I certainly will.
We ended the night with a delicious Easy Grapefruit Panna Cotta with Herbed Honey Recipe which tasted amazing. I wish I had left even more room for it after finishing all of the other great courses! It was, to me at least, a completely new way of incorporating avocado into a meal and I can't wait to replicate the recipe at home for my family and friends.
The highlight of the entire event for me was also learning of new, exciting research on the benefits of avocado presented by Jessica Cooperstone, PhD, of Ohio State University. This new study found eating avocado with tomatoes or carrots significantly increases the conversion of provitamin A (inactive form) to vitamin A (active form) more than eating tomatoes or carrots without avocado. This is great news for any of us working with clients who can benefit from additional dietary vitamin A and just another great reason to recommend including avocados as part of a healthy meal plan.
It was a privilege to take part in such a great event and I continue to look forward to working together with the Avocado Goodness Community in the future.

Now that school is back in session, you may find that you're family is running in all different directions. Homework, clubs, sports, group projects… the list can go on and on! Unfortunately, sitting down for family dinner is usually placed last on the to-do list, and often falls by the wayside.
It's time to make a change and prioritize family dinner once again. Winding down at the table to share a meal teaches children the importance of nutrition and how to build a healthy, balanced plate. It also allows for fewer distractions, which helps them pay better attention to their hunger and fullness cues. Family dinner will promote healthy habits while also getting extra family time in- sounds like a win/win!
If you feel like there's no way you have time to fit it in- maybe you just have to take a look at your strategy. Dinner does not have to be an elaborate meal in order to be delicious, satisfying and healthy. Make more family meals happen with these tips:
Make a schedule! Take a look at the calendar and choose a time that will work for all or most of your family members. This may mean eating a little earlier or later than you are accustomed to, but you're body will get used to it. Mark 'family meal' on the time that works best each day and commit to it like you would any other appointment.
Plan ahead! Write down what you plan to serve for dinner each night of the week. This will save you time having to ponder what you want to make, but more importantly you can buy all ingredients needed over the weekend-preventing the need to make a hurried stop after work. In addition, there will be less temptation to swing by the drive thru if you already have a meal in mind.
Prepare! Complete any meal prep that you can over the weekend to make the cooking process even quicker. Slice up the veggies you will need in advance and keep them in little containers so they are ready to go. You can also cook and freeze an entrée; just heat it up later on it the week!
Keep it Simple! Again, no one is expecting you to prepare an elaborate meal with 20 ingredients. Look for recipes with short ingredient lists and minimal prep time. Aim for a balanced meal that provides lean protein, complex carbohydrate, fruits and veggies.
Get the kids involved! As always, have the kids help with the food shopping and cooking. Not only will it be nice to have the extra hands, but it is also a great way to get kids excited about nutrition and making healthy choices. They are also much more likely to eat their veggies if they had a part in choosing and preparing them.
Making time for family dinner often just requires a bit of planning and prioritizing. What are the biggest barriers to incorporating family dinner for you?

It's that time of year again. As children and teens everywhere worry about which outfit to choose for the first day of school, parents have another thing on their minds. How can you send your child back to school with a lunch that they will actually enjoy eating, but that you can feel good about giving them as well? The good news is that regardless of your child's age, you can find great tasting foods they will love that are also loaded with nutrients to boost their energy and brain power throughout the entire school day! Here are some of my favorites:
Pre-K and Kindergarten
At this age, it's all about making food fun! Finger food can go over great for younger children and can be an excellent way to get them to try new foods and increase their intake of fruits and vegetables. For an easy lunch almost no kindergartener can refuse, try making a healthy pizza "face". Using a whole grain tortilla, sprinkle shredded cheese to cover the tortilla. Then, use fresh vegetables slices to create the mouth, nose, ears, and eyes. For instance, make a face using mushrooms for ears and a nose, shredded carrots for hair, olives for eyes, and sliced peppers for a mouth. Heat in the oven to melt the cheese and crisp the tortilla or serve cold- it's up to you. You can even send baggies of cheese and sliced vegetables and let your child build his own pizza!
Elementary School
If you have a picky eater, getting them to take in enough fruits and vegetables can be a challenge. However, with a little creativity, you can get even the pickiest eater meet the goal of 5 servings per day. When it comes to increasing your child's veggie intake, try mixing them into favorite foods. For instance, if your child loves to have a turkey sandwich for lunch, mix it up by making turkey pinwheels. You can make these by wrapping a tortilla with turkey breast, cheese, shredded carrots, spinach leaves, and tomato slices and cutting it into small pinwheel pieces. Not only will this add great flavor, it it's fun to eat as well!
If you have a hard time getting your child to eat whole fruits, consider 100% fruit juice. As a complement to whole fruit, 100% fruit juice can make it easy to squeeze more fruit into a healthy diet. My favorite juice recommendation is Welch's 100% Grape Juice because of the unique dark-purple Concord grapes. Welch's uses the whole Concord grapes– including the seeds and dark purple skin –which are crushed to release natural plant nutrients, called polyphenols, straight from the grape. One 4-oz. cup counts as one serving (1/2 cup) of fruit with no added sugar, and has a taste all kids will love!
Middle School
At this age, your pre-teen may be more concerned with how their lunch looks than what is actually contains. Fitting in and not sticking out are vital qualities to the lunch of a pre-teen. Take the traditional lunch route, but with a twist, to boost the nutrient content. If you child wants to bring "junk food" with his lunch, offer healthier options such as freeze-dried fruit or seasoned nuts over regular chips. A traditional sandwich is fine to bring, but boost its health qualities by using 100% whole grain breads, and topping it with sliced avocado or hummus over mayonnaise.
High School
Your high-schooler has a long day and needs to keep her energy up. Pack her lunch full of foods that will boost brainpower. Whole grains, lean proteins, and omega-3 fatty acids are all essential for fueling the brain. A salad topped with tuna, avocado, and chopped walnuts with a side of whole grain crackers can be a great brain booster. For the teen on the run, consider making a smoothie he can sip on throughout the day. Toss together 1 cup frozen berries, ¾ cup low fat Greek yogurt, 1 Tbs chia seeds, and ¼ cup spinach along with ice for a delicious on-the-go meal or snack that will fuel your teen on even the busiest days!

The summer sun may still be hot but school is just around the corner! Providing your child with well-balanced, nutritious meals is essential to keeping them energized throughout the day, and performing at their best academically. Although many school lunch programs are taking steps to provide healthier options, research still shows that menus in most school lunch programs are too high in saturated fat and cholesterol and too low in fruits and veggies. For this reason, packing lunch for your child may be the best bet to ensuring they have a nutritious meal to fuel them for the rest of the day.
With busy schedules and hectic mornings, packing lunch every day may seem like a nuisance- but it doesn't have to be! A great way to save time is to write down a little 'lunch menu' for the week; ask the kids to help you do this to get them excited about preparing their own meals. If you are able to plan ahead, you won't have to worry about running out in the middle of your busy week for groceries.
When planning meals, focus on lean proteins, whole grains, and plenty of fruits and veggies. Remember that lots of colors= lots of nutrients so encourage the kids to make their meals as colorful as they can!
Here are some healthful lunch ideas to consider:
• Sandwich made with low sodium cold-cuts of turkey or ham on whole wheat bread or wrap. Substitute hummus for mayo and add lettuce and tomato. Serve with plain yogurt and strawberries.
• Tuna fish made with fresh salsa, avocado, and small handful of craisins for a touch of sweetness. Serve with whole grain crackers for scooping, baby carrots, and an apple.
• Chicken fingers made by breading with corn flakes and baking. Serve with side of broccoli and carrots with low-fat ranch for dipping.
• Chickpea salad made with chickpeas, tabouli, avocado, and tomatoes. Serve with whole grain crackers, grapes, and piece of low-fat string cheese.
• 'Mini pizzas' made with tomato sauce, low-fat mozzarella cheese, spinach, and served on a whole wheat pita. Serve with fresh pineapple.
• Whole grain pasta salad made with olive oil, roasted red peppers, broccoli, and topped with tofu. Drizzle with low-fat Italian dressing. Add herbs like cilantro and basil.
• Roasted bell peppers stuffed with quinoa, onion, chopped carrots, and drizzled with olive oil. Serve with fruit salad.
Get creative and remember to involve the kids in the cooking process! If you're short on time in the AM, try preparing lunch the night before or making alongside with dinner. For beverages, skip the juice and soda- they're way too high in sugar! Water, coconut water, and low fat dairy are better options.

What's better than a refreshing cocktail in the hot summer sun? One that won't wreak havoc on your waistline! Summer is a time for social gatherings, vacation, and relaxation- and let's be honest, often that means enjoying a cocktail (or two)! Alcohol and weight loss plans often don't mix all that well; the calories in alcohol can add up fast! Furthermore, alcohol can stimulate your appetite and cloud your judgment; so not only will you feel hungrier, you may also be more likely to choose a less healthy option than you normally would. But remember, losing weight and maintaining a healthy weight is dependent on a lifestyle change- not a short term diet. Cutting out alcohol forever isn't realistic for most- and that's okay! Enjoy in moderation and follow these simple tips:
– Smarter options include light beer, wine, or alcohol with low calorie mixers such as soda water, seltzer, lime juice, lemon juice, coconut water or light juice.
– Modify cocktails by asking for less simple syrup or replacing juice with soda water and just a splash of juice.
– Enjoy your beverage in the middle or towards the end of a meal instead of before a meal; alcohol can stimulate appetite and cause you to overeat.
– Frozen drinks often are made with high calorie mixes that contain LOTS of added sugar. Skip them! Make your own version with frozen fruit for all of the sweetness and none of the guilt.
So remember, alcohol can be a part of your healthy lifestyle as long as it is enjoyed in moderation and you make smart choices. Below are links to low cal cocktail recipes to try! And make sure to check out my book Flat Belly Cookbook for Dummies for even more recipes like the refreshing Blueberry and Mint Spritzer.

It's that time of year again! Sun's out, spatula's out, and fire up that grill! For those trying to lose weight or just focusing on a healthier lifestyle, a backyard BBQ might seem like a diet disaster. Hamburgers, hotdogs, chips, soda,- it's true that these food items can wreak havoc on the waistline, but who invited them to the party anyway?? With some healthy swaps and nutritious additions to the menu, your next barbeque will leave you and your guests feeling (and looking) good!
One thing barbeques are known for is the array of delicious munchies usually provided before the grill is even fired up. With high calorie, high fat appetizers like chips and dip, you may find yourself finishing a meal's worth of calories before dinner even reaches your plate.
Make it healthier: Keep the appetizers simple. Serve a tray of pre-cut veggies with low fat dressing or hummus for dip. Toss together a big green salad dressed with olive oil and vinegar. Thread veggies, fruit, and one or two pieces of cheese on a skewer to make healthy kebobs. Can't give up the chips and dip? Choose whole grain chips or pretzels and serve with fresh salsa, which is much lower in calories and fat than a creamy dip.
The Main Course:
Good news! Grilling is one of the healthiest cooking methods there is! Hamburgers and hotdogs have long been staples of the backyard barbeque- but it might be time to make room on the grill for some smarter choices.
Make it healthier: Fish and poultry are excellent sources of lean protein that taste wonderful on the grill. (Bonus: most seafood contains heart healthy omega-3s!) Salmon, tuna, shrimp, and white meat chicken are all great options.
Still pining after a burger? Try a veggie burger! Veggie burgers are gaining popularity for being low in calorie but bursting with flavor. If you choose to have meat, choose ground beef or turkey that is at least 90% lean; pork tenderloin is another lean option as well.
The Sides:
Creamy dressings, extra butter, and oversized portions are often the high calorie culprits when it comes to side dishes.
Make it healthier: Go for lighter options, such as a quinoa salad or grilled veggies. Lightly brush corn on the cob with olive oil and grill for five minutes to get delicious flavor without the need for butter. Cut sweet potatoes into wedges, brush with olive oil, season, and grill for yummy sweet potato fries. For a healthier pasta salad, try whole wheat pasta, add lots of veggies, and use light Italian dressing. Get creative with the side dishes; it is usually possible to make a much lighter version of your favorite dish with just a couple substitutions!
The Dessert
Treats are fine in moderation, but if you know you're going to be hosting or attending a bunch of gatherings, sugary desserts can add up fast and slow your progress.
Make it healthier: You might already know where I am going with this one… fruit salad! Summer means many delicious fruits are in season, and there is nothing prettier or more refreshing than a bowl of colorful, fresh fruit! For a little extra indulgence, dip a few pieces in dark chocolate or provide light cool whip for topping. This isn't to say you can never have a cookie or brownie, just remember to indulge in moderation and choose a healthier option more often.
Get active!
Barbeques are a great time to gather friends and family and get active together! Toss around a football, put on some music for dancing, or take a walk together after dinner. Encourage kids to play outside, whether it is a game of tag, swimming in the pool, or going on a bike ride. Make screen time off limits during the festivities.
Barbeques are a great way to gather with friends and family and enjoy the warm weather. And with so many great options for the menu, there is no need to compromise your healthy lifestyle! If you are attending a barbeque and have less control over what's served, contribute a dish to the event so you know there will be something healthy for you to have. Remember, a healthy lifestyle is all about balance and smart choices. Happy grilling!

When it comes to weight loss, a lifestyle change that is customized to you and your dietary habits is the key to success. Just as we all have different personalities, we also each have a unique weight loss personality. This is why a 'one size fits all' approach to weight loss just doesn't work. Tailoring a plan to your lifestyle is necessary for both weight loss, and most importantly- weight maintenance following weight loss. Let's discuss different weight loss personalities and identify strategies for each one to promote long term weight loss success.
The Personality: 'Perfectionist'
Do you find yourself always trying to do everything right, all of the time? Are you hard on yourself when things do not go exactly as planned? If so, you likely have a 'perfectionist' personality. When it comes to eating, it is nearly impossible be perfect 100% of the time. Life is going to throw curveballs that require a bit of leniency in your diet; and while you may not be able to make the perfect food choice every single time, you can still lose weight and maintain a perfectly healthy lifestyle! Often with this personality we see over restriction and emphasis on 'forbidden' foods. Even one diet 'slip up' can cause feelings of failure or hopelessness and lead to a cycle of overeating followed by over restriction.
The Strategy: Stop the cycle! Work on learning to forgive yourself when you do have a diet 'slip up', and try incorporating a small weekly indulgence to your diet. Adding flexibility to your diet will not hinder your health or your weight loss efforts, and you will likely feel more relaxed and at peace with your new lifestyle changes.
The Personality: Impulsive
Do you get halfway through the bag of Doritos before you even realize you grabbed them from the kitchen? Do you take seconds at dinner just because the leftovers were sitting there? These are habits seen often with 'impulsive' personalities. Changing your lifestyle usually requires a bit of planning and thoughtfulness, especially in the beginning while getting used to new foods and eating habits. Those with impulsive personalities are more likely make a poor dietary choice in the moment and less likely to consider the feelings of guilt that usually follow. Impulsive eating often leads to poor dietary decisions, disregard of hunger cues, and overeating.
The Strategy: Get rid of temptation! Think about the food temptations you give into throughout the day and find a way to eliminate these temptations altogether. Stock your fridge and cabinets with healthy snacks and avoid buying sugary and salty treats. Contribute a healthy dish at the next BBQ so you know there will be something nutritious there for you to eat. Keep dinner leftovers on the kitchen counter or somewhere they will be out of reach. Making your food choices more planned and deliberate throughout the day will help you stay on track!
The Personality: Night Owl
Do you find yourself staying awake late into the night even when you don't need to? The 'night owl' personality is a common one, and it can have a substantial impact on your weight loss efforts. Studies have shown that people who stay up later often engage in night time snacking and consume significantly more calories than those who hit the sack earlier. Additionally, sleep deprivation can lead to clouded judgment when choosing foods the following day, and can also mess with your hunger and satiety hormones.
The Strategy: Commit to a bedtime! Choose a bedtime that is realistic for your lifestyle, preferably early enough to get at least 7-8 hours of sleep per night, and commit to it. To promote a more restful sleep, turn off electronics 30 minutes to an hour before getting into bed. Try practicing nighttime yoga or meditation to relax your mind and body. It will take consistency and patience while your body adjusts to the new sleep schedule, but I bet you will find the new rested you makes healthier choices throughout the day!
The Personality: All or Nothing
Have you started a nutrition or exercise program, strayed a bit off course, and then abandoned the program all together? This 'all or nothing' personality can sabotage weight loss efforts; any deviation from the plan will lead to feelings of failure and subsequent giving up. This personality often relies on a very structured plan for weight loss success. While structure can be helpful while losing weight, flexibility is essential for long term weight loss and weight maintenance.
The Strategy: Add flexibility! When you begin your weight loss journey, follow a structured plan while you are getting used to the changes. After a couple weeks, allow yourself to stray a bit from the plan. This may mean experimenting with one or two different meals a week, adding in a night at your favorite restaurant or enjoying a small treat at the Sunday barbeque. Adding flexibility to your plan will allow for continued weight loss while preventing diet burn out that can occur from too much structure.
The Personality: Short Attention Span
Have you ever given up on trying to lose weight after feeling bored with eating the same foods over and over again? Structure is important for weight loss, but that doesn't mean the foods you eat have to lack variety! Someone with the 'short attention span' personality may find they get into a rut of eating the same foods every day that is not only boring, but is also unsustainable. Eating should be an enjoyable experience, and the greater variety of healthy foods you have in your diet, the more likely you are to feel satisfied and find success on your journey to weight loss.
The Strategy: Mix it up! There is no way to get around the fact that structure and planning are necessary components for weight loss. To add variety but keep structure, plan out a week of meals, Sunday-Saturday. Make sure these meals differ from day to day. Now, you have seven days of different meals that will help you stay on track without becoming bored. You can repeat these meals each week, or find new healthy recipes online or in a cookbook to swap with. Getting creative in the kitchen is a great way to stave off boredom while discovering new nutritious snacks and meals.
No matter what your weight loss personality is, the important thing to remember is that the changes you are making are lifestyle changes; they have to be sustainable if you hope to reach long term success. Once you identify your weight loss personality, work with the strategies that are tailored to you and your lifestyle (a registered dietitian can help you do this!).
Which personality do you identify with? Do you have a different weight loss personality that was not mentioned?

Press release
Lengthy bans for carbon credit company directors
The four directors of World Future Limited have been banned as company directors for a total of 42 and a half years.
World Future sold voluntary emission reduction carbon credits (VERs) at highly inflated prices to members of the public as an investment. The credits had no investment potential.
In January Edward George Lee became the last of the four to agree to a disqualification with the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy. Mr Lee, 71, of Woodford Green, Essex accepted a four year, six month disqualification which commenced on 6 February 2017.
In 2015 and 2016 his fellow directors, James Laurence Ward, 31, of London E18; Hollie Emily Chapman, 31, of Loughton, Essex and Julie Margaret Sellers, 55, of Croydon, had earlier accepted disqualifications of between 12 and 14 years.
The disqualifications follow an investigation by the Official Receiver, whose involvement commenced with the winding up of the company in the public interest. The winding up order was initiated following a Company Investigations probe into the affairs of the company.
The Official Receiver's investigation uncovered that between June 2011 and March 2012 World Future sold VERs to members of the public as an investment and netted at least £2,484,500.
VERs are fundamentally different from the licences to pollute (such as CERs) that can be readily traded in the compliance carbon market established under the Kyoto protocol. VERs are intended to be retired by businesses or individuals to offset their carbon footprints. Unlike with CERs, there is no readily accessible market where customers can sell on their VERs in the hope of being able to make a profit.
Ward acted as a director of World Future throughout its trading life without being formally appointed and caused it to trade with a lack of commercial probity by selling VERs as investments that had no potential to show a return to investors. He was only formally appointed as a director after the trading had ceased.
Chapman, Sellers and Lee were appointed at various times to be directors, but took no part in the day to day trading of World Future. Their inaction facilitated Ward and another individual to control World Future and cause it to trade with a lack of commercial probity while concealing their involvement. The other individual is already subject to a 14 year disqualification for action as a director in another company.
Commenting on this case Anthony Hannon, Official Receiver in the Public Interest Unit, said:
This company held itself out as having extensive expertise in the carbon credit market and made bold claims about the potential returns available when investing in carbon credits.
The directors and salespeople had no such trading experience and were only able to make sales on the basis of systematic misrepresentations about the VERs they sold. The truth is that the VERs were impossible to resell, making them worthless as investments. The company was run entirely for the benefit of those running it, at substantial cost to the investors who had been misled.
The lengthy periods of disqualification in this case show that this kind of behaviour will not be tolerated by the Insolvency Service.
Notes to Editors
World Future Ltd (CRN: 07662439) was incorporated on 8 June 2011. The trading address shown on its literature was Level 37, 1 Canada Square, Canary wharf, London E14 5AA, but this was an accommodation address where the company had no physical presence. The company's actual trading address was at Docklands Business Centre, 10 - 16 Tiller Road, London E14 8PX.
The petition to wind up the company was presented in the public interest by the Secretary of State for Business, Innovation and Skills following an investigation conducted by Company Investigations (Live), another specialist unit within the Insolvency Service which uses powers under the Companies Act 1985 (as amended) to conduct confidential enquiries into the activities of live limited companies in the UK on behalf of the Secretary of State.
The winding up order against World Future Ltd was made on 6 March 2013.
The company had previously entered creditors voluntary liquidation on 7 June 2012.
On 14 May 2015 the Secretary of State accepted a disqualification undertaking from James Laurence Ward for a period of 14 years. The period of disqualification commenced on 4 June 2015.
On 13 November 2015 the Secretary of State accepted a disqualification undertaking from Julie Margaret Sellers for a period of 12 years. The period of disqualification commenced on 4 December 2015.

A disqualification order has the effect that without specific permission of a court, a person with a disqualification cannot:
- act as a director of a company
- take part, directly or indirectly, in the promotion, formation or management of a company or limited liability partnership

Disqualification undertakings are the administrative equivalent of a disqualification order but do not involve court proceedings. Persons subject to a disqualification order are bound by a range of other restrictions.
The Insolvency Service, an executive agency sponsored by the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS), administers the insolvency regime, and aims to deliver and promote a range of investigation and enforcement activities both civil and criminal in nature, to support fair and open markets. We do this by effectively enforcing the statutory company and insolvency regimes, maintaining public confidence in those regimes and reducing the harm caused to victims of fraudulent activity and to the business community, including dealing with the disqualification of directors in corporate failures.
BEIS' mission is to build a dynamic and competitive UK economy that works for all, in particular by creating the conditions for business success and promoting an open global economy. The Criminal Investigations and Prosecutions team contributes to this aim by taking action to deter fraud and to regulate the market. They investigate and prosecute a range of offences, primarily relating to personal or company insolvencies.
The agency also authorises and regulates the insolvency profession, assesses and pays statutory entitlement to redundancy payments when an employer cannot or will not pay employees, provides banking and investment services for bankruptcy and liquidation estate funds and advises ministers and other government departments on insolvency law and practice. Further information about the work of the Insolvency Service, and how to complain about financial misconduct, is available.

The headlines about Amanda Hein are offensive. The story of this unfortunate and mentally unstable young woman and her infant are tragic. The Morning Call articles and the actions of Northampton County District Attorney Morganelli continue to demonize her.
Of course she accepted a plea bargain of guilty instead of the death penalty. Her treatment inculcates the criminal justice system as more criminal than justice. People accused of crimes are often forced to accept unreasonable plea bargains to avoid draconian sentences.
Stop using the terrible picture of Amanda Hein that we have seen endless times. Don't use alarmist headlines. The light within is not extinguished by entering the criminal justice system.

Infinity Land by Tony Garifalakis
Opening Fri Feb 15, 6pm till late
15 Feb - 15 Mar 2008, Saturdays only 12- 6pm
Here's what Dylan Rainforth wrote about Hell's inaugural show on the threethousand review page (http://www.threethousand.com.au). Tony also got a review in the Sunday Magazine of the Age (Preview 24th Feb), written by Penny Modra.
'Welcome to Hell.' Quick sketch of a cinematic cliché: Hard-as-nails Drill Sergeant welcomes green-as-grass bunch of recruits to bombed-out battlefield. He knows, and so do we, that half of them will be dead by the end of the movie and that the other half will have learnt some hard-earned lessons, emerged as heroes, etc and-so-forth.
That's what 'Welcome to Hell' makes me think of. But if you hear it this Friday as you enter the Gates of Hell, just down the lane behind the Coles on Swan Street, it's probably just owners Jess 'Queen of Hades' Johnson or Jordy Marani (such a yacht-rockin' name for Satan Himself) making you, you know, welcome. Welcome, to their brand-new art gallery - check out the art, partake of the delicious BBQ (aka the Eternal Flames of Damnation) and grab a cold beer. It's nice here.
And all the best people go to Hell. Even the Prince of Darkness turned out to be a pleasant chap when I popped in the other day. The PoD, aka Tony Garifalakis, has cooked up an absolute blinder of a first, inaugural, premiere, debut, maiden show - all about doomsday sects and murderous messianic cult leaders. How apt. So, if there was ever any doubt, it's now official - the devil not only has the best tunes but the best art too.By Dylan Rainforth

This is completely practical! The world is suffering from climate change and its affects, and for a relatively small nation like this to divest from fossil fuels shows the entire world that eventually we can all wean ourselves off of fossil fuels. The quicker that humanity can deal with the many issues and controversies about fossil fuels and climate change means the quicker that we can deal with our problem. The world is heating up and Ireland has taken a key step to dealing with that issue.
It's very practical. They can use geothermal energy from the surrounding hot spots, set up wind farms, (maybe solar farms, I hear it gets very cloudy there). The world will eventually have to switch to an all renewable power plan, and the sooner we start the fewer animals will have to go extinct.
Way to go Ireland! I knew you guys were awesome.
When other countries see how it works in Ireland (and hopefully it will) it could in fact make the world a better place. Because if they can do it, why can't we?
And then we can start making the world a better place.
Ireland is a small country anyway, so they're on the safe side compared to if England did it.
Many people think that it is impossible to fully divest from fossil fuels.However, it is possible and has been done.Cuba has been using renewable energy for many decades due to US sanctions. Ireland is a small country with a small demand of energy.It's demand for fossil fuels is not very high.
In spite of being a Catholic country, the Irish have a truly progressive population, and I am very glad to know that. It will take work and significant investment but i think Ireland can ditch fossil fuels for good. Change is always difficult but in this case it is for the greater good. Other countries need to start following Ireland's footsteps.
It is a tall order for big nations with a large population to fully walk out of fossil fuel dependency, thiS is because of the high demand of from the large population. For Ireland, it was possible because it has a relatively small population compared to countries like India, China or the U.S.A.
Way too many people don't pause to ask why divestment would matter. The more institutional investors divest from fossil fuels, the more expensive it will be to get financing for new fossil fuel projects. Finance is also susceptible to the bandwagon effect. If investors see everyone else divesting, they think something is up so they're more prone to follow suit. Oil companies don't pay out of their own pockets to develop new oil fields. They finance, and every divestiture makes that pool of capital a little smaller and more expensive.

We need to mobilize as many people as possible!
Importance and new goals
The plenary's rejection of the draft law is by no means the end of the story. Rather, it is being discussed throughout the Parliament. It is up to the plenary to decide whether amendments should be made to the draft directive.
In addition to this, Julia Reda, MEP (Pirates/Greens EFA) has called for the "SaveTheInternet Action Day" on August, 26 as a result of this first stage victory. This is intended to send a clear, Europe-wide message from both critics and activists against the copyright law reform and in favour of freedom of information.
Comments by critics
Issues such as the potentially EU-wide ancillary copyright law and content recognition technologies - commonly known as "upload filters" - are still unresolved. We therefore call for those involved in the drafting and revising of such laws to deal better with the content and consequences of the digital aspect.
Our demands
Users, strengthen yourselves!
Make a stand for the preservation of the free internet and freedom of information! Sign our petition and let the Members of the European Parliament know what decision the citizens would make!
Dear Members of Parliament: Stay well informed! Recognize the consequences the proposed drafts would have for the private user as well as for the economy. Continue to decide against directives similar to Article 11 and 13 or which restrict freedom of information in any other way.

Last Thursday was one of my favourite days of the year: World Book Day! The day when you were allowed to go to school dressed up as your favourite fictional character and were given a voucher to get a free book – it doesn't really get better than that, to be honest! And even now at 23, I still love it, and buy at least of the £1 World Book Day books every year. This year, though, they outdid themselves and I had to buy three… Here's the full selection of titles:
Amazing, huh? The three I bought were The Great Mouse Plot by Roald Dahl, Spot the Difference by Juno Dawson and Kindred Spirits by Rainbow Rowell. Here's what I thought of them!
The Great Mouse Plot, Roald Dahl
55|Penguin Random House
'You had the idea – so you can be the one to put the mouse in the jar.'
Every day the boy walks past a sweet shop filled with jars of delicious gobstoppers and sticky treacle toffees. But there is one terrible problem. The shop is owned by Mrs Pratchett, a skinny old hag with filthy finger nails. She is so mean that the boy decides to trick her – and he's got the perfect plan…
Did you know that this boy grew up to become the writer Roald Dahl?
I've worshipped Roald Dahl since I was a little girl, but it's been many years since I last read him and this little story was a complete treat!
Easily the best thing about this story is the fact that it's a tale from Roald Dahl himself when he was eight years old! It's always wonderful to get a glimpse into the real lives of your favourite authors and the time that Dahl was growing up really makes it feel like a story. As is usually the case with Dahl, The Great Mouse Plot features kids taking revenge on horrid adults, wonderful descriptions of sweets and fearsome headteachers.
85|Hot Key Books
Avery has always suffered at the hands of the bullies, so when she's given a seemingly-miraculous opportunity to join the 'A-list' she grabs at it with both hands. But appearances can be deceiving, and soon Avery's not so sure she likes this new version of herself. And it's only by overcoming her fears that she can learn the true meaning of being comfortable in your own skin.
It didn't take long for this to become one of my favourite things that I've read from Juno. Of the three World Book Day books I picked up, it was the one that I felt the most connected to and involved in.
Avery has severe acne – it's painful, obvious and she's ridiculed at school for it. It occurred to me that I couldn't recall ever reading about a protagonist in a YA novel with acne before and that's really ridiculous – acne is one of the biggest worries for teenagers, why isn't it represented?
Spot the Difference has something of Mean Girls about it as a miracle drug trial cleared up Avery's skin and she was suddenly seen as pretty by the A-list girls and become embroiled in their world. I always hate to see the effects this has on the friendships that withstood all of the horrible days and the picking up the pieces after a particularly nasty comment, but I really loved Lois and Avery – they just worked so well together that I could only hope Avery would come to her senses.
With Avery's newfound confidence, she decides to run for Head Girl and I was cheering her along all the way! The speech she made to her school at the end of the story was particularly poignant. But I was so frustrated by the fact that we didn't get to see if she was actually chosen or not that I had to knock a star rating off the book. I know that wasn't the point of the story at all, but man, it was annoying!
This is an important, powerful little story and I really hope that teens take the message from it: you are more than your appearance, but you still don't deserve to be bullied or ridiculed for anything about yourself. Ever.
62|Macmillan Children's Books
'Everybody likes everything these days. The whole world is a nerd.'
'Are you mad because other people like Star Wars? Are you mad because people like me like Star Wars?'
If you broke Elena's heart, Star Wars would spill out. So when she decides to queue outside her local cinema to see the new movie, she's expecting a celebration with crowds of people who love Han, Luke and Leia just as much as she does.
What she's not expecting is to be last in a line of only three people; to have to pee into a collectible Star Wars soda cup behind a dumpster or to meet that unlikely someone who just might truly understand the way she feels.
I loved Kindred Spirits – it's cute, fun and just as charming as I've come to expect from Rainbow.
In only 62 pages Rainbow Rowell managed to make me fall in love with Elena, Gabe, their love for Star Wars and give a load of backstory to both characters – she really is a special writer. I loved the way that Elena bonded with Troy and Gabe during their adventure, the things they learned about each other, united by fandom.
There are cupcakes, selfies, dances, Starbucks runs and maybe the start of something awesome.
Which World Book Day books did you pick up this year?

Vanity Fair ran a first serial of Joe Hagan's STICKY FINGERS, "Jann Wenner, John Lennon, and the Greatest Rolling Stone Cover Ever," and New York magazine ran a second, "The Long, Bizarre Relationship Between Jann Wenner and Mick Jagger."
The Washington Post's Margaret Sullivan wrote a glowing review of Joe Hagan's biography of Jann Wenner, the founder of Rolling Stone magazine, STICKY FINGERS, writing "Hagan not only helps us understand how terribly much [Rolling Stone] seemed to matter, once upon a time. He also, through his nuanced portrait of Wenner, shows us how thoroughly the publication reflected its founder, warts and all." The author was also recently interviewed on Good Morning America. Knopf will publish the book on October 24, 2017.
