Originally chartered in 1911 as Connecticut College for Women, the College was founded to provide women with an institution in Connecticut where they could earn a degree. Men were admitted to graduate study in 1960, and in 1969 the College changed its name and opened up its undergraduate programs to men, who now make up nearly half of the 1600 students enrolled.
Psychology is one of the most popular departments on campus. One in 10 students selects one of the three majors we offer: Psychology, Psychology-based Human Relations, Neuroscience. Others choose to minor in psychology. Human Relations and Neuroscience are interdisciplinary majors, and psychology faculty participate in several other interdisciplinary programs offered by the College: Architectural Studies, Cognitive Science, Gender & Womens Studies, and Urban Studies. Studentsmajors, and many have chosen to do so with the guidance of psychology faculty. We offer a broad array of courses for a department our size, and students are encouraged to graduate with “honors” in psychology by designing and completing an empirical thesis. Students who have participated in our research groups have presented their work at scientific meetings across North America and have co-authored with faculty and graduate students articles published in professional journals. Our department has a tradition of encouraging students to volunteer at community agencies, which a large proportion do each year. Thus, our students leave well prepared for graduate study or jobs that require them to apply their psychological skills.

en | N/A | N/A | Timber theft is a big concern for the forestry industry with millions of dollars of timber being stolen every year across the United States. It is a lucrative market for the perpetrators since some species of trees are worth in excess of $1000 for a single tree. Not only this, timber theft can occur in any part of the timber supply chain and cause massive forest management issues and destroy years of planning. It is, therefore, essential to have a solid theft deterrent plan in operation.
Prevention is always better than detecting and investigating when it comes to protecting your timber. The monetary loss prevented by implementing strict theft prevention policies is absolutely worth the cost. Among many other steps that can be taken to ensure timber security, having a timber security hotline in place is one of the best things a company can invest in.
A robust timber security hotline enables the contractors and their employees harvesting your property to easily communicate suggestions and tips regarding timber theft and fraud. Contractors working on a site, when trained properly, are the best source of theft and fraud prevention. They are the ones interacting with the inventory and equipment on a day to day basis so they have the best chance of spotting any illegal activity.
With a timber security hotline in place, whenever a contractor comes across suspicious activity, they can instantly communicate to a neutral third party who will evaluate the call details and assist the company in quickly taking the appropriate action. This enables the concerned authorities to take immediate action and increase the chances of the perpetrators being caught, thereby,reducing the risk of financial loss for the company.
Reduce your timber theft and get started with securing your organization against fraud and theft. Looking for a robust, reliable and an easy-to-use solution for setting up a timber security hotline for your company? Get in touch with Dendro Resource Management Inc. today and one of our experts will be there to assist you! |

Art, Comfort, and the Great Outdoors
LeeAnne Carson; Photography by Russell Abraham
The living room couch. For some people it’s a place to lounge while watching the big game or reading a book. But for Jerry Dommer, it’s an art lover’s perch. Surrounding his comfy sectional are crisp white walls dressed with eye-catching paintings and photographs; pottery and sculpture sit immaculately arranged on shelves under track lighting. It’s so well thought-out, you’re tempted to look around to see if he’s hired a security guard to complete the gallery feel.
“My whole world is visual,” he says. “I’m attracted to the way things look and how they’re composed.”
It was the beauty of the Mount Diablo foothills that lured Jerry and his wife, Jan Hopson, from Berkeley to this Alamo home in 2001. “We wanted to get out to the edge of civilization,” says Dommer. Taking in the view from the home’s expansive deck, they felt unfettered, a mood that continues indoors courtesy of Kurt Lavenson, a fellow architect and the house’s previous owner. Lavenson spent two years transforming a typical mid-century rancher into a wide-open modern space with windows big enough to bring in that great outdoors.
At first, Dommer and Hopson were happy with the house. They enjoyed riding their two horses on adjacent open space and in Mount Diablo State Park, or relaxing in the shade of a 400-year-old oak. But being an architect, Dommer wanted to put his own stamp on the home. He envisioned simplifying the spaces even more, freeing them up to be not only functional, but also an appropriate setting to display the couple’s growing art collection. While writer Hopson worked away in her spacious study, Dommer expanded the kitchen, adding cabinets and granite counters.
Finding the overall feel of the interior too “moody,” he covered the 1950s dark-wood tongue-and-groove ceiling with Sheetrock, popped in several skylights, and covered everything but the floor in white paint. The transformation was not subtle. “I’m basically a modernist,” says Dommer. “You could display art in any type of room, but I always end up with white walls and absolutely no curtains—never. I find clean, bright spaces uplifting.
“Visitors often comment, ‘Gee, your house is kind of like an art gallery’ … but not as a compliment,” he says. “It’s too stark for some people.” But for Dommer and Hopson, crisp and clean is home sweet home. And when they pop a log into the fireplace Lavenson created from steel construction beams, it’s not hard to feel comfortable.
On the walls hang photos by Chris Bratt (yes, he’s related to actor Benjamin), sculptures by Joe Slusky and Richard Bauer, and paintings by Dale Appleman and Maxim, plus some Picasso etchings and Richard Diebenkorn prints. Also in the mix are Dommer’s own creations, including pottery he fires in a kiln out back and 20-year-old paintings, one of which remains unfinished.
Hi’n’s architecture homework caught his eye. “When I was in high school,” he says, “”
Domm but kept his hand in fine arts. He took enough ceramics classes to earn an M.F.A., if he had made it official. But architecture won out in the end—professionally at least. Dommer spent some time after college working in Chicago and Vienna. Four years after graduating, he came to San Francisco, and in 1975 he started his own firm. Dommer & Byars’s designs run the gamut from educational and industrial to civic and residential projects. Dommer drafted the winning design for the Amsterdam City Hall, and he’s been an expert witness in construction disputes for the last 15 years. He’s currently working on designs for a new hospital and a resort/casinoRound Hill Country Club’s tennis clubhouse.
“Then I hope to quit,” he says. But who can believe him? Just like his unfinished painting, Dommer’s house will likely always remain a work in progress. |

$35,000 to $77,4000 to the upfront cost of the house
$134,000 to $266,000 in mortgage payments on an average loan
3.5 to 6.8 years to the time it took to pay back a home loan
Another study in regulation cost, by Motu research group, was released by Treasury last week among a flurry of Government announcements around the Resource Management Act (RMA).
The report found the impact of regulations was estimated to vary between $32,500 and $60,000 per dwelling in a subdivision and between $65,000 and $110,000 per apartmenttudy also showed thedded $30,000 extra to each apartment and at least $15,000 per section.

A Disciplined Approach to Single Family Office Venture Capital Investing
https://cartoonresource.com/product/finance-cartoons-2401/
According to PitchBook-NVCA Venture Monitor, 2019 saw a record-setting decade in venture, with a 5x increase in deal value to roughly $140 billion.[i] It’s an exciting space filled with the promise of tomorrow, but it is also uncertain, filled with risks, and for many marked with embarrassing failures. A disciplined, proactive approach allows a team to mitigate the risks and maximize their upside, while also providing a singular . Despite all of the bad experiences we’ve all had with early stage investments, there is a real opportunity to bring value to the family office by creating a disciplined approach that fosters exceptional returns, as well as internal learning and skills development.
A reactionary approach to venture capital investing creates more problems than just time management. First, there’s the problem of deal quality. In Texas, many of us are familiar with the major features of a “good” oil and gas deal. We know the structural red flags, how to read a reserve report, and how to evaluate a drill plan. Furthermore, many of us have good contacts in the industry who can provide invaluable insight as we make our initial assessment. Our family office friends and partners outside of Texas are not so lucky. Having worked with family offices in Texas and outside of Texas, we can anecdotally report that the quality of oil and gas deals tends to diminish outside of the state. What’s true for oil and gas in Texas is also true of the tech world outside of Silicon Valley. The comparison is not one-to-one, but the general principle stands. As family offices grow and the sources of their deal flow expands, there is an increased exposure to new industries and new kinds of opportunities. Evaluating the quality of these opportunities.
Most important, the investment team should work with the family to develop clear venture capital and early stage investment objectives. Sector identification and investment thesis can come from the team, the family, or a mix of both. Important considerations include the business sector/industry, average deal size, ideal equity stake, and the size of the committed capital allocation. Ultimately, successful early stage investing is a numbers game. Ideally one would invest a small amount in a number of companies and over time lean into the companies that continue to demonstrate success. Having clear metrics also makes you a good partner to companies that you interact with. Having listened to countless pitches from early stage companies, there is nothing that they want more than clear parameters for what kinds of early stage companies you’re willing to invest in.
Once the team establishes the overall objectives with the family, they can develop a more specific strategy. On the research side, the team can make contact with industry experts and begin to develop an internal working knowledge of the sector. Strategically, investment teams should endeavor to secure as many co-investment rights and other upside options, while mitigating as much downside risk as possible. This asymmetric risk to the upside is best achieved when many small investments (all with their own upside risk potential) are made across a single sector. The proactive time spent in sector research can also be spent researching the various term-sheets and capital stack structures and mechanisms that exist in that space. Venture is an industry that has adopted a fairly open-source approach to documentation, to the benefit of all.
A disciplined and proactive approach to venture capital allows teams to more efficiently process deal flow, source higher quality deals by building deeper relationships within a given sector, fulfill investment policy statement objectives and allocations, and engage family office principles and family members with opportunities that they care about. When done this way, a suitable allocation to venture capital in a broadly diversified portfolio can deliver quantitative and qualitative value to the portfolio and to the family office team.

en | N/A | N/A | This evening I was invited to a media tasting for “Wild Rice”, a new-ish restaurant by the waters of New Westminster. I remembered their original incarnation in Chinatown, and recalled leaving none too satisfied. Therefore was particularly interested in returning to them almost 4 years later (yes, I have been blogging for a very long time) to see if anything has changed, besides the locale.
The move has now made their restaurant a destination, and less a stop simply out of connivence, as they once were. Here, they are still within walking distance of the skytrain, but parking is limited and the distance to travel from Vancouver is a little out of the way. But it is a shame that this New West area doesn’t see more dining traffic, the whole waterfront view is lovely. And what a great place to spend some time at, after dinner, strolling the boardwalk.
When you walk in, the restaurant fronts with a little connivence shop. A cash desk behind a metal fence displaying their wares as you walk into their lounge. They sold bottled sauces, homemade rubs, and full leaf spices that they used in their cooking. And that after your meal, you might want to take home and recreate yourself.
The lounge was a dark space, kept romantic with strung up bulbs, two by two. The back wall displayed various sizes of metal woks. Under it, giant paper fans and some bamboo steamer lids balanced on their sides, it certainly spoke to the Asian influences of the restaurant; much like the Chinese newspaper they used to wallpaper the hall, on route to their row of single stalled washrooms.
The lounge area was flanked by their bar on the right, with a rotation of local and neighbouring beers on tap. And on the left their open kitchen, which is a point of pride for the restaurant. They have nothing to hide when it comes to their cuisine. So showcase themselves, and their chefs, with an open pass and a window on the side, that puts prep work on display. From chopping up fresh vegetables and sectioning out portions of noodles, to carving a whole pig down to manageable chunks for stews and stirfrys.
He prides himself on the fact that they purchase their produce from small family farmers, to keep the prosperity as centralized as possible. Everything these small farmers offer is natural and organic, an Andrew does regular site visit to ensure these standard are being maintained. He also invites the very same farmers into his restaurant to show them what becomes of their hard work, thus building a different relation of farm-to-table.
The restaurant also grows their own herbs out front, in planters. They simply stroll outside and harvest as needed. We each walked away with a bag full of fragrant chives, basil, rosemary, and thyme.
And they have preached and collaborated with the other surrounding businesses in organizing several garbage and recycling pick ups. This is so that all waste matter is properly disposed of, in the most eco-friendly way possible. Even their takeout boxes are eco-conscious.
Our group of eight was given a seat in their dining area, right at the back, under a living display of overreaching leafy and vine-y plants. The entire dining room was hung with red, white, and green lanterns. It gave the space a very whimsical feel.
Before we got down to eating, the owner/chef took the time to give us a bit of background information on his restaurant and its concept. He originally learned how to cook from his grandmother. She sparked the flame and he continued to fan it with an education at a French culinary school. So now, as a homage to his grandmother they serve their food family style, in large portions, divided between a handful of people. This is in her belief that food should be eaten at its optimum. One course at a time, as it is served fresh. Which was ironic today, considering that this was a gathering of bloggers and social media influences, and one of the things we do is take dozens of photos before digging in. And what is often the case, is that what we eventually eat is typically cold and far from optimum. None-the-less, given good reason, our group was more cogniscent of our cooked food, and therefore made every attempt to click fast and eat soon, in support of “grandmothers” ideals.
We started with their “House Salad” which was a mix of greens with cucumber, tomato, and toasted pecans; all coasted lightly in their mirin soy vinaigrette. I am not one for salad, but with a few trying bites, all I tasted was the vegetables, I was missing the dressing, and left looking for a vinegary tang.
The “Peking Duck Tacos” were made with Yarrow Meadows duck confit, house pickles, wonton ribbons, scallions, and a creamy hoisin sauce. It was spicy, then sweet, and ended salty. I liked all the textures and the crunch from the wontons, I just wanted more duck and for the tortilla to be made fresh, or at least heated up. You could tell it wasn’t by how great the filling tasted in comparison.
Their “Siu Mai Dumplings” are quickly becoming my favourite dish to recommend. They take a tried and true classic and give it a refreshing twist, a grown up and fancy take worth revisiting. New and clean made with local pork and shrimp and served with a scallion verde.
The “Chicken Skins” were fried crispy and served with more verde, pickled veg, and ponzu, for dipping. The ponzu gave you a salty light soy flavour, the pickle a tangy brine, and the verde offered some herbaceous-ness. Each was good in its own way, adding acidity to the otherwise greasy finish of this meat chip. Definitely great with their beers on tap.
The “Spicy Chicken Kung Po” mixed free run chicken, broccoli, twice cooked peanuts and rice noodles in a rich coconut sauce. The noodles were light with the refreshing flavour of coconut. And it paired well with the subtle peanut flavour. I just wished that the noodles were gummier, and a little less sniff, which then left me wanting more sauce for a stickier chew.
And for dessert we had a “Sticky Toffee Pudding”, it is normally a larger serving, but for a tasting, this was plenty. The pudding is half baked then finished off by steaming. Thus giving it a moist almost buttery texture. It is served traditionally with butterscotch sauce and a Tahitian vanilla ice cream scoop. Delicious.
They are a great option for modern Chinese food in the area, a bit of a drive for those not in local to New West skytrain. A great addition to the neighbourhood, offering something different and exciting. Don’t deny your cravings.

The Braves, Phillies, Twins and Rays are all planning to go after free-agent closer Craig Kimbrel when his draft pick compensation comes off at 12:01 a.m. ET on Monday, according to MLB Network. Teams will also be after Dallas Keuchel as well.
— Jon Heyman (@JonHeyman) May 31, 2019
Kimbrel was given a one-year qualifying offer by the Red Sox this offseason, which has a draft pick attached to it. That means if a team is to sign Kimbrel, it will have to give up a pick to get him as well as the contract he agrees to.
But on Monday when the MLB Draft rolls around, that draft pick compensation falls off, which means teams can simply sign Kimbrel and not have to worry about giving up a selection to get him. |

This test is about consistency and discipline. Repetition was for me the key to success. Then the pandemic came, and all courses were cancelled. It was challenging to stay focused after being home all day studying for Step 1. My advice to my fellow-IMGs? Remind yourself of the goal, remind yourself where you come from and what you want to achieve. The pathway for me, as an IMG, is not easy, and I know it. But I hope that my hard work will pay off. Without noticing, nine months passed and I had not seen my family. The pandemic not only prevented me from spending time with my family, but it also took the opportunity from being able to obtain clinical experience in the United States. Virtual observerships became my only option.
My goal is to be able to match to a surgical training program and it was recommended that I pursue research training as well. I found a position in Florida within a surgical department of a well known health care facility. Since the start of this new challenge, my days have been filled with studying for Step 2 CK and learning how to manage databases and conduct clinical research. I am faced with challenges daily and I have learned how to organize myself and how to ask clinical questions of interest for follow-up projects. I have since passed Step 2 CK, and I see slowly that my name is appearing on published manuscripts. I feel confident in the process of my growth and development and I am mosam extremely thankful for having met the people that I have as all of them have helped me along in this most exciting ride. |

en | N/A | N/A | Your crawlspace is more susceptible to excess moisture than most of the other areas of your home. That’s why protecting it from water-related damage and utilizing moisture control techniques is so important for making your crawlspace as dry as it can be. Here at Nixon Cleaning and Restoration LLC, we believe that one of the best ways to fight excess moisture in your crawlspace is to prevent major issues before they get out of hand. Our crawlspace encapsulation service is one of the ways we can help keep your crawlspace as dry as possible.
Crawlspace encapsulation involves covering your crawlspace with a protective barrier, typically some form of plastic sheeting. This barrier helps prevent the moisture from the ground beneath your home from permeating the rest of the crawlspace, preventing a lot of the damage that comes with excess moisture. Doing so also helps preserve the air quality, in large part due to the protective layer helping to prevent issues such as mold and mildew growth that can lead to unclean air.
While crawlspace encapsulationhome from excess moisture damage, it is especially important for people who have respiratory issues. Prevention is key when it comes to mold and mildew growth, and crawlspace encapsulation is one of the best forms of prevention. If you believe your home will benefit from a crawlspace encapsulation service,keep your crawlspace dry. |

It’s okay to not have any topics to discuss.
Silence is acceptable in a relationship.
On the other hand, if you just don’t ever feel like talking to her.
Like you would rather do the most mundane activities than have a conversation with her then it’s time to reconsider your relationship... … . A
She needs you to be there for her every beck and call. She needs someone to talk to so she won’t feel lonely. And in the rare case, that both of you are completely fully self-accepting of yourselves, then talking everyday isn’t a problem.
Three times. Leave her alone. Know everything there is to know about her on facebook. Call at least 3 times a day, find out where she lives and works and follow her.

en | N/A | N/A | T. Deadline for filing taxes later this year
By bitt0057 on April 16, 2012 12:15 AM
Procrastinators this year have a couple extra days this year to file their taxes. The deadline is April 17, instead of the normal April 15 deadline, according to NPR and the Imperial Valley Press. The reason for the delay this year is due to how the weekend and holidays fall. This year, April 15 falls on a Sunday. In addition,-- a local holiday unfamiliar to most Americans. Thus, the deadline has been extended until Tuesday, April 17, according to NPR. The IRS said ns, according to Imperial Valley Press.
More good news for procrastinators is that if no taxes are owed, there will be no penalties even if the paperwork is filed late, according to Imperial Valleyl 16, 2012 12:15 AM.

en | N/A | N/A | (1)Renewable energy is at the heart of the clean energy transition necessarymake energy affordable andenergy imports.
(2)Renewable energy has multiple benefits for the citizens of the Union: contributing to the efforts to deal with climate change, helping to protect our environment, creating growth and jobs as well as contributing to the Union’s technological and industrial leadership and making the Union’s economy more resilient.
(3)The energy sector is responsible for over 75on. Speeding up the production of energy fromstallations is therefore vital for the Union to reach its 2030 renewable energy target and for contributing to reaching the 2030 Union target of at least 55% GHG emission reductions in accordance with1 .
(4)Rapidly increasing the share of renewable energy is crucial for addressing the problem of high energy prices. The decreased fixed costs and close-to-zero variable costs of renewable energy mean that renewable electricity costs have been more stable and lower than fossil fuel costs. The accelerated deployment of renewables will make the Union less reliant on – primarily imported – fossil fuels.
(5)As recognised in the Communication “REPowerEU “REPowerEU Communication”) 2 , rapidly ramping up the use of renewable energy is fundamental in reducing the dependency of the Union on fossil fuels and phasing out the consumption of Russian gas. The REPowerEU plan contains measures aimed at making this happen, as does the European Semester, in the context of which country-specific recommendations on permitting tailored to individual Member States’ circumstances are being proposed.
(6)The REPowerEU Communication has also introduced a hydrogen accelerator initiative doubling the 2030 objectives for renewable hydrogen, to reduce the Union’s external dependencies on fossil fuel imports. To produce 10Mt of renewable hydrogen, the Union will require additional renewable energy capacities of 80 GW by 2030.
(7)Renewable energy projects are in principle required to receive an authorisation so that they are able to perform their intended activity. Permit-granting procedures help to ensure that the projects are safe and secure. However, the complexity, variety and excessive duration of those procedures constitutes a major barrier to the swift necessary deployment of renewable energy and to achieving a more affordable, secure and sustainable Union energy system.
(8)Delays in processing project authorisations put at risk the timely reaching of energy and climate targets and increase the cost of the projects necessary to do so. Delays can also lead to the installation of less efficient renewable energy installations due to dynamic innovation.
(9)Those barriers were already identifirequired Member States to evaluate the permit-granting procedures in order to reduce the regulatory and non-regulatory barriers to the production of renewable electricitytroduced requirements to simp developersstrengthens these requirements. Their full and rapid transposition by all Member States is significantly helping to shorten administrative procedures and is a matter of the highest priority and urgency.
(10)The Commission supports the 6 , providing ms, including those streamlining the framework for authorisation andThe technical support, for example, involves strengthening of administrative capacity, harmonising the legislative frameworks, and sharing of relevant best practices.
(11)The deadlines for the permit-granting process established in Directive (EU) 2018/2001 apply without prejudice to obligations under applicable Union environmental law, to judicial appeals, remedies and other proceedings before a court or tribunal, andmplaints procedures, non-judicial appeals and remedies, and may be extended for the duration of such procedures.
(12)The lack of public acceptance of renewable energy projects is another significant barrier to their implementation in many Member States. To address this, the needs and perspectives of citizens and societal stakeholders should be taken into account at all stages of renewable projects development – fro – and good practices for ensuring just distribution of the various impacts of installations among the local population should be encouraged.
(13)Most of the barriers related to permit-granting for renewable energy projects and the related grid infrastructure, as well as good practices to overcome them, have been identified at the Member State level.
(14)Administrative barriers have become more relevant due to the improvements regarding other barriers, such as technology costs, whichrs, or financing issues, alleviated by the cost reductions and the i
(15)This Recommendation addresses these concerns, calling for solutions to be found within the existing legal framework. It is without prejudice to Union law, in particular in the area of energy and environment and to the obligations arising out of it. It is also without prejudice to the Union rules on competition, in particular ACommission’s decisional practice in the enforcement of the Union competition rules.
(16)A legislative proposal to amend and strengthen the provisions of Directive (EU) 2018/2001 related to administrative procedures has been adopted alongside this Recommendation. As it is urgen, Member States should start as soon as possible to identify suitable land and sea areas and to prepare plans for particularly suitable areas (“renewables go-to areas”), in accordance with Article 15b of the proposal for amendment to Directive (EU) 2018/2001 on permitting.
(17)Maritime Spatial Planning is a key tool for identifying future areas for the deployment of renewable energy as well as facilitating multiple uses of the maritime space, includingMember States are required by the Maritime Spatial Planning Directive 7 to have their national maritime spatial plans adopted by 31 March 2021. The Commission urges the Member States that have not yet fully implemented the MSP Directive to establish and adopt their national plan 8 .
(18)Barriers resulting from permit procedures might also affect the future deployment of innovative decarbonisation technologies needed for climate neutrality. Setting up regulatory sandboxes, that is to say the testing, in a real-lifees or approaches, which are not fully compliantcould support innovation and facilitate the subsequent adaptation of the regulatory environment to accommodate them.
(19)The development of renewable energy projects partly or fully financed through corporate purchase agreements will help to accelerate the uptake of renewable energy. Corporate purchase agreements also provide direct benefits to the end-consumers, including by providing a competitive and predictable energy price andagenda of companies in the Union.
(20)Despite a year-on-year increase in corporate purchase agreements in the last five years, the percentage of renewable energy projects financed directly by corporate off-takers is only 15-20% of the annual market. The uptake of corporate purchase agreements is also mainly limited to certain Member States, to electricity as an energy carrier, and to large multinational consumer-facing companies.
(21)Along with this Recommendation, the Commission is making available digitally consolidated datasets on a wide range of relevant energy and environmental factors through the Energy and Industry Geography Lab 9 (EIGL), to help Member States for identifying renewables “go-to areas” for the rapid deployment of new renewable energy projects. The Commission intends to develop this mapping tool further by incorporating additional datasets and links with Member States’ digital spatial planning tools.
(1)For the purposes of this Recommendation and the accompanying guidance, renewable energy projects are understood to encompass production plants for the generation of renewable energy as defined in the Renewable Energy Directive (including in the form of renewable hydrogen), as well as the assets needed for their grid connection and for the storage of the energy produced.
(2)Member States should ensureir connection to the electricity, gas and heats qualify for the most favourable procedure available in their planning and permit-granting procedures and aret and in the interest of public safety, in view of the legislative proposal amending and strengtheningand without prejudice to the Union law.
(3)Member States should establish clearly defined, accelerated and as short as possible deadlines for all the steps required for the granting of permits to build and operate renewable energy projects, specifying the instances where such deadlines may be extended and under which circumstances. Member States should establish binding maximum deadlines for all relevant The duration of the artificial structur
(4)Member States should establish timeframes and lay down specific procedural rules with a view to ensuring the efficiency of the legal proceedings related to access to justice for renewable energy projects.
(5)Member States should create a single unified application process forSimultaneous applications should be prioritised over sequential applications if different authorisations are required, including for related grid projects.
(6)Member States should allow applicants to update the technology specifications of their projects in the time between the permit application and the construction of projects.
(7)When implementing these recommendations, Member States should make use of the practices described in Chapter I, Section 2 of the guidance in the Annex to this Recommendation.
(8)Member States should stimulate the participation of citizens, including from low and middle-income households, and energy communities in renewable energy projects, as well as take measures to encourage passing the benefits of the energy transition on to local communities thus enhancing public acceptance and engagement.
(9)Member States should implement simplified permit-granting procedures for renewable energy communities, including for the connection of community-owned plants to the grid and reduce to a minimum production licensing procedures and requirements, including for renewables self-consumers.
(10s 5 (c) and 6 (a)11)Member States should ensure streamlining and effective coordination between national, regional and municipal level,.
(12)Member States should design a one-stop-shop for granting permits for renewable energy projects required in Directive (EU) 2018/2001 in such a way as to limit the number of authorities involved to what is necessary and maximise efficiency, taking into account public resources and the benefits of concentrating technological, environmental and legal expertise.
(13)Member States should introduce rules such that the lack of a reply from the competent authority or authorities, within the established deadlines, results in the acceptance of a given request at the relevant stage of a permit-granting procedure for renewable projects (so-called “positive administrative silence”), unless their reply is required by Union or national legislation.
(1435)Member States should communicate to applicants clear, complete and transparent information on all requirements and procedural stages, including complaint procedures, at the beginning of the permit-granting procedure for renewable energy projects.
(16)Member States should introduce fully digital permit-granting procedures and e-communication to substitute the use of paper. Relevant information should be made available to project developers centrally as part of an online manual of procedures, including templates for applications, environmental studies and data, as well as information on options for public participation and administrative charges.
(18)Member States should ensure sufficient and adequate staffing, with relevant skills and qualifications, for their .
(19)Member States should use the Union and national funding opportunities available for upskilling and reskilling, in particular at regional and local level, and consider setting up an Alliance for sectoral cooperation on skills to bridge the skills gap of staff working on permit-granting procedures and on environmental assessments.
(21)Member States should swiftly identifycontribution to reaching the revised 2030 renewable energy target. As part of this mapping process, limited and clearly defined areas should be designated as particularly(renewable go-to areas), while avoiding as much as possible environmentally valuable areas and prioritising inter alia degraded land not usable for agriculture. For this purpose, Member States are encouraged to make use of the updated datasets available in the Energy and Industry Geography Lab 10 (‘EIGL’).
(22)Member States should limit ‘exclusion zones’, where renewable energy cannot be developed, to the necessary minimum. Theywith reasoned justification on restrictions related to distance to housing and military or civil aviation zones. The restrictions should be evidence-based and designed in such a way as to fulfil their intended purpose while maximising the availability of space for the development of projects, taking into account other spatial planning constraints.
(23)Member States should streamlin to the extent that is legally possible, applying available technical guidance on reconciling renewable energy deployment and the Union’s environmental legislation, and integrating the environmental impact assessment with other applicable environmental assessments in a joint procedure. Member States should use scoping 11 in a systematic manner or make it mandator.
(24)Member States should ensure that the killing or disturbance of individual specimens of wild birds and protected species under Council Directive 92/43/EEC 12 is notby requiring such projects to integrate, as appropriate, mitigation measures to effectively prevent as much as possible killing or disturbance, by monitoring their effectiveness and, in the light of the information obtained from monitoring, taking further measures as requireded. If this is done, the incidental killing or disturbance of individual specimens should not be considered deliberate and therefore should not fall under Article 12(1) of Directive 92/43/EEC nor Article 5.
(25)Member States should encourage early public involvement to define spatial plans, promote the multiple use of sites and ensure transparency about where and how renewable energy projects may be built or installed, including small-scale installations at municipal level. Member States should pursue coordinated planning of grids and renewable energy generation capacities at all levels, including in the context of regional cooperation.
(27)Member States should implement long-term grid planning and investment consistent with the planned, taking into account future demand and the objective of climate neutrality.
(28)Member States should establish simplified procedures for repowering existing renewable energy plants, including streamlined procedures for environmental assessments, and adopt a simple-notification procedure for their grid connections wheret is expected.
(29)Member States should ensure that system operators (i) apply a transparent and digital procedure for grid connection applications; (ii) provide information on grid capacities; and (iii) optimise the use of grid capacity by allowing its use by power plants combining multiple complementary technologies.
(30)Member States should provide legal certainty for the repurposing of natural gas pipelines to hydrogen by clearly stating which authorisations will be required and allowing the grandfathering of their existing authorisations.
(32)Member States are encouraged to put in place regulatory sandboxes to grant targeted exemptions from the national, regional or local legislative or regulatory framework forto facilitate permit-granting in support of the deployment and system integration of renewable energy, storage, and other decarbonisation technologies, in line with Union legislation.

Proposals were received from both Heinkel Flugzeugwerke and from Blohm & Voss' aircraft subsidiary, Hamburger Flugzeugbau. On 1 November 1935, orders were placed with both manufacturers, each for three prototypes each of their respective designs, the He 115 and the Ha 140.
The first prototypes flew in August 1937 and the type was chosen in preference to the Ha 140 early in 1938. An additional He 115 prototype and 10 pre-production aircraft were then ordered. Meanwhile, t 1,000 km (621 mi) and 2,000 km (1,243 mi) closed circuits at a speed |

<issue_comment>username_11: ve profile: The specified path to the kube config 'C:\Users\username\.minishift\machines\minishift_kubeconfig'for hashfile
<issue_comment>username_1: This feels vastly overcomplicated for testing a straightforward function.
- The hash function is mocked out, so we're not actually checking that it produces the correct SHA256 hash.
- The input is invalid - it expects a binary file object, but the mocking obscures that.
- `blocksize=0` would produce an incorrect result in real life, so it doesn't make sense to validate the current behaviour with a test.
Hash algorithms have to have entirely predictable output. So there's no need to mock it out. If we really need a test for this, just produce some data (`b"blah " * 20000`) and check that the result matches a pre-calculated hash.
<issue_comment>username_0: The function does not disallow `blocksize=0` at the moment so I wanted to add a test to make sure the behaviour is documented. I can remove it though, I don't think this is important.
I will simplify this by passing a bytes-like object and remove the mock for `hashlib`.
<issue_comment>username_1: Thanks, that looks sensible now.
I'll push back on over-testing things like `blocksize=0` because it adds friction to working on the codebase if you have to go and understand and fix tests which are failing for something no-one cares about. Testing and coverage measurements are tools, not goals Expo app is out of date.

However, not everyone is convinced that RACI helps. Writing on CIO.com, N Dean Meyersays that even when tasks are sorted among groups in “excruciating detail”, knowing just who is accountable for the results still is not clear.
“And when you sort tasks outside the context of responsibility for results, there’s nothing to stop you from accidentally separating accountability and authority, which disempowers staff and sets them up to fail. The traditional ‘roles and responsibilities’ approach to job definition is flawed in that it defines what people do, rather than what they sell (whether or not money actually changes hands).”
“You’d define jobs in terms of the business each group is in — that is, job descriptions would define what products and services staff sell, not what they do to make them. Then, you can look at any project and know who’s the prime contractor — the one and only group that’s line.”
That prime contractor is accountable for delivery of the project and has the authority needed. They can also subcontract with peers for their products and services (and subcontractors can also buy help from others).

Clare Reilly, Chief Engagement Officer of PensionBee, commented: "These survey results demonstrate that the imperative for a Living Wage is increasing. Paying employees enough to meet their everyday needs should not be optional for any company in the UK, particularly those that are listed on the London Stock Exchange. Pension savers recognise both the huge negative impact to society that poverty pay brings and also the riskse companies.

en | N/A | N/A | As we hear of yet another data security breach
Forum Editor 08:48 02 Nov 2008
by an agency working for the government
there's an illustration of the real problem in a nutshell; a spokesperson for the company responsible for the loss (in a pub car-park)of a USB stick containing usernames and passwords to a key government computer system said:
"It isre"
So there you have it - the one flaw in the system, the one thing that can negate all other security measures in a second; an employee decides, for whatever reason, to break the rules. It highlights the absolute urgency with which government Ministers should be addressing the way in which our confidential information is safeguarded, the need to devise a system whereby it's impossible for any employee to leave a building with sensitive information stored on a memory stick, a CD, a portable hard drive, or a laptop, unless at least one other senior person has given authority.
It can be done, all it needs is the will, and the resources necessary to implement the revised security policy. It won't be 100% effective - such a system doesn't exist, but it will go a very long way towards making ludicrous breaches of security like this one a thing of the past.
I'm available for consultation at a moment's notice.
€dstowe 08:57 02 Nov 2008
It doesn't only happen with high tec stuff click here
It seems there is an overall laxity in security measures throughout, whether that be good old fashioned paper in a briefcase or more modern means of carrying confidential information.
is that it highlights the ease with which someone can,in a moment, compromise the security of extremely sensitive information. In this case the tax and benefit records of 12 million people are not at risk of intrusion according to a government spokesperson because the access details are to an 'old version of the system'.
Whether or not the old version of the system contained the information I wouldn't know, but it's not really the point. The point is that there's a glaring security risk attached to people being able to wander around with USB memory sticks full of confidential data in their pockets.
Coffee Adict 10:08 02 Nov 2008
Was it just case of petty pilfering, or are there more sinister undertones.
WhiteTruckMan 10:47 02 Nov 2008
or a knee jerk reaction to call for instant dismissal of the perpetrator of this (and other) incidents. At best this is gross misconduct/negligence, at worst criminal charges should be considered.
When you think about the number of times this sort of thing has been brought to our attention (let alone how many times it must have happened without anyone finding out) then the whole industry needs a serious wake up call.
I for one am heartily sick and tired of being forced to divulge personal data to obtain goods and services only to find this sort of thing happening far too often. Perhaps a rash of jail terms handed out might give people pause to consider their the consequences of their actions.

And next time someone asks why the government should have details for ID cards, NHS computerised records, etc, we will assured that all the required information will be totally secure. All these people who hold our information have not the slightest idea of other peoples security, I am sure that they are very careful with their own though. Bet that guy slipped the stick into his pocket in the course of his work, forgot about it, and pulled it out when he was reaching for his car keys, surely it is possible to security tag this sort of stuff, or how about welding a six foot pole to it, they might notice that if someone tried to go past the security desk with it,
Jim Thing 12:30 02 Nov 2008
"...or how about welding a six foot pole to it..."
I've had experience of a similar system which was 100% effective. A ship I served on had had to deal with several cases of people going ashore with their department's keys in their pocket. The First Lieutenant solved the problem by ordering that each bunch of ship's keys had to have a 1/8" brass tally plate the size of a postcard.

en | N/A | N/A | Which density functional do You use? Some of them might give quite reasonable results, whereas other might not, especially if your molecule contains long conjugated chain. 1 eV does not seem to be too few for me, but in no way I could say that I am high-valued professional in the field. There are sometimes artificial bound-electron states, then electron is placed in very high levels...
HF eigenvalues are non-naturally positive in most cases, because at HartreeâFock level electron correlation is not treated. CI and coupled-cluster methods solve this by using many-determinant wavefunctions, describing electron correlation via admixing of the excitated states to the ground state studied, so results You obtained from them (especially from CCSD(T) ) seem to be OK in most cases (if You have used basis set that is sufficiently large). Is the bound electron on some very high level also in CCSD(T) and CI case? If yes, this may indeed be the effect of artificial binding...

I have a closed shell molecule (rather large: 12 first row atoms) and I want to know if this molecule can bind an electron.
DFT tells me "yes" with positive values of the electron affinity, in the range 0.5-1.0 eV according to the functional. I suspect that these values are false, or at least largely overestimated.
I now turn to ab initio methods, but I first see that at the HF level the electron is not bound and the SOMO built of the most diffuse gaussians of the basis.
The CCSD(T) and SAC-CI methods (which are affordable in my case) give a negative electron affinity... but are these methods reliable? These methods use the HF orbitals, can they bind an electron if it is not bound at the HF level?
Or shall I use CAS methods (very expansive in my case) which optimize orbitals at the CI level? Is it obligatory in this case? |

en | N/A | N/A | Is it possible to use the Windows Cinder storage as a backend for Glance?
I think there would be some concurrency issues as the Glance "Cinder" store basically mounts the Cinder volumes locally (the Glance host) whenever accessing the images. This would become especially problematic when scaling out the Glance service.
The Glance "Cinder" store isn't considered production ready, so we didn't invest too much time on it. Since you're interested in a hyper-converged setup, I'd recommend the above mentioned approach.
Side note, we're using the Windows iSCSI driver for testing purposes mostly.
os_brick only supports the Windows SMBFS connector; there are no Linux SMBFS connectors defined, which means that you won't be able to Windows SMB Cinder storage as a backend for Glance. Alternatively, you can use Windows iSCSI Cinder storage. |

(REUTERS/Mike Blake)Ua, July 23, 2015. Huckabee is now under fire for allegedly making a comparison between President Obama's Iran nuclear deal and the Holocaust.
NEW YORK (Christian Examiner) – Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee saiSaturday that tEuropean powers and Iran presents a danger to the Jewish people not faced since the Holocaust of World War II.
Huckabee's comments are not dissimilar from other critiques of the nuclear deal, which allows Iran to develop further its ballistic missile capabilities after a period of eight years and its nuclear capabilities in 15 years. What distinguishes his comments from others is his alleged comparison of President Barack Obama's deal to Adolf Hitler's final solution.
The comments were reported almost immediately in the Israel newspaper Haaretz and in the Jerusalem Post. They were condemned almost as swiftly by the head of the Democrat National Committee.
"From questioning President Obama's religion toAmerica to asserting President Obama isn't an American, we thought we had seen everything," DNC Chair Rep. Debbie Wasserman-Schultz said in a press release.
“"But now, the most likesaid that President Obama is marching Israelis to 'the door of the oven.' . d.
The Anti-Defamation League, aligned ideologically with the Democrat Party, criticized Huckabee, calling his comments "completely out of line and unacceptable."
t," said Jonathan A. Greenblatt, ADL's national director.
The National Jewish Democratic Council also denounced Huckabee's comparison and These comments by Gov.'ve encountered in recent memory. To state that President Obama is leading Israelis 'to the door of the oven' is not only disgustingly offensive to the President and the White House, but shows utter, callous disregard for the millions of lives lost in the Shoah and to the pain still felt by their descendants today," the NJDC said in a statement.
The Republican Jewish conservative pro-Israel lobbies, have not issued a statements about Huckabee's comments. Both groups, however, are firmly against any deal that does not remove Iran's future capabilities to produce a nuclear weapoed the western powers are ignoring the danger the deal poses to Israel. And the prime minister has repeatedly drawn attention to the West's neglect of Israel's concerns.
In April on the commemoration of World Holocaust Day –by the Nazi regime – Netanyahu said the world dismissed the threats of the Nazi regime and its rhetoric.
"They downplayed the seriousness of the danger of the military build-up of the Nazis, claiming that it was the result of the natural will of a proud nation, that it should be taken into consideration, that it should be accepted," Netanyahu said.
"The reality was clear, but it was cloaked in a bubble of illusions. This bubble was burst by the stealth attack by the Nazis on Europe. And the price of the illusion and desire was very heavy because by the time the leaders of the West finally acted, their people paid a terrible price. World War II claimed the lives not of 16 million people, the unimaginable number of victims during World War I, but of 60 million, including one third of our people, who were butchered by the Nazi beast ... On July 20, Iran's Ayatollah Khamenei tweeted a statement thatis an Iran deal or not."

In fact, he has many styles as is evidenced by his latest CD, The Warren Hood Band. In the mood for Americana, tune right in. How about some bluesy swing-like tunes? Yep. Look no further. Throw in some smoky folky songs and you’ve got an even richer concoction. There’s something for everyone on this recording…and it’s all good. Trust me.

Music was always a part of my life. Though as a child I paid more attention to sports, I was subconsciously absorbing music at my father’s (Champ Hood) shows. He played at Threadgill’s every Wednesday with Jimmie Dale Gimore for years. That was just one of several bands/artists he played with. I had tagged along to his gigs since I was a baby so it was all just normal life to me. I met several stars such as Jimmie Dale and Lyle Lovett when I was too young to have a concept of someone being famous. They were just Lyle and Jimmie. I was always surrounded by wonderful positive people, the kind of people that are attracted to quality live music. While my dad played, I would often be looked after by waitresses, bartenders, fans turned friends, etc. It was a wonderful environment. I guess my earliest music memories would be watching my dad play at Threadgill’s with Jimmie Dale while I ate fried catfish and drew pictures at the front table. Every week they started with the Jimmie Rogers classic “Waiting For A Train.” The band consisted of two acoustic guitars, upright bass, snare & brushes. They were called The Threadgill Troubadours and they played folk, country, blues, rock, jazz, Cajun, and just about anything else. These are the cornerstones to what I play now.

en | N/A | N/A | A Roman road, from Akeman Street (the A41) to Thornborough, is though to pass through East Claydon parish. There is no other evidence for Roman activity in the parish.
East Claydon wais tiEast Claydon parish was more densely settled in the medieval period. A medieval moat with surrounding house platforms is known from aerial photographs north of Whitehouse Farm and may be the site of a deserted medieval village. Another complex of moat and house platforms is known north-west of the church. West of the modern village, there are also medieval village earthworks, including a pond, around Verney Farm. North of Botolph Farm there are also medieval house platforms of Botolph Claydon. Botolph Claydon probably got its name from the Botyl Well, a name that was later corrupted into St Botolph’s well. There are several medieval house platforms around the site of the well, as well. It was also probably the site of the parish windmill, which is mentioned in the 14th and 16th centuries.
The Salden estate map of 1599 marks the field at the boundary of Winslow and Granborough as Mill Hook, suggesting the site of a watermill. St Mary’s church has a 14th century chancel and 15th or 16th century tower and is the oldest surviving building in the parish. One of the oldest surviving secular buildings in East Claydon is Whitehouse Farm, which may date back to the 16th century. It is thought to have been one of the manor houses of the Lee family, who also had places in Quarrendon and Ditchley in Oxfordshire. The site of a former manor house is mentioned in 1310, but it may not have been on the same site. Slightly older than Whitehouse Farm are 5 Orchard Way and Pond Cottage, which are 15th century cruck-built houses. Other listed buildings in the parish date to the 17th century, such as 45 Botyl Road, or the 18th, like Botolph House.
In the 19th century the Aylesbury to Buckingham railway was built and passed through East Claydon. It opened in 1868 and was run by the Great Western Railway but was later taken over by the Metropolitan line and then London Transport. It closed in 1936. There was a station on Granborough Road but it was also closed in 1936 and the buildings were demolished, similarly the Winslow Road station. |

en | N/A | N/A | The Great False Prophet Mahomet
Posted on May 23, 2015 in Cultural Encounters, Freedom and Repression, Early Printed and Rare Books
Since the murderous attack on(January 2015), the discussion about the cartoons of the Prophet Muhammad has witnessed a revival. In the Western world they religion cannot be insulted, it is argued, and in many Western countries believers who feel antagonised are not protected by the Law. In the Islamic world, insulting Islam and other religions is a punishable offence.
The defamation of Islam and its Prophet is a deeply rooted tradition in the Christian and Western world. As early as the twelfth century, books were written in which Muhammad was described and depicted as a fraud or as an epileptic who abused his fits to make people believe that he was receiving revelations from God. After the Reformation in Europe the same negative qualities were effortlessly ascribed to the Pope in Rome. Both the Pope and Muhammad – or the sultan of the Ottoman Empire as the case required – were portrayed as the antichrist.
In 1627 an anonymous book was published in Amsterdam which recycled all the slanderous myths about Muhammad in a handy format: Historie van den Oorsprongck, Geslacht, Geboorte, Opvoedinge, en Leere des grooten valschen Propheets Mahomets (‘History of the Origin, Descent, Birth, Education and Teachings of the Great False Prophet Muhammad’). It is part of the collection of the Society of Netherlands Literature (shelfmark 1144 A 46). Remarkably, all stories are provided with an engraved illustration. We will spare you the defamatory pictures of the Prophet, but one illustration shows the grave of Muhammad in Mecca (!). Before his death, so the story goes, Muhammad concealed strong magnets in the dome of a ‘church’ in Mecca. He also ordered a metal coffin for himself. When after his demise his coffin was carried inside the church, it rose to the ceiling and remained afloat in the air: a miracle!
In the early eighteenth century the orientalist Adriaan Reland (1676–1718) of Utrecht dismissed all these stories as fabrications, but the myth of Muhammad as an epileptic is still very much alive in the West. Just Google ‘Muhammad’ and ‘epilepsy’ and see what happens...

en | N/A | N/A | Big Think Interview With Glenn Loury
A conversation with the Brown University economist and author of “Race, Incarceration and American Values.”
Glen Loury: Oh, I don't know that it can teach us all that much. I mean, I thought it was overblown as being emblematic of race relations or profiling, or anything of that sort. I didn't read it as insightful or really useful in that regard. Though I do think how we reacted to the incident: what it became, drawing the president in and so on; perhaps would tell us something about, and this was my argument in the piece, how we process racial issues. How we talk and don't talk about them, maybe how we are quick to repair to some conventional and pat storyline about them. The country had a problem, has had a problem, is trying to overcome it. Some people are slower at that than others. There's a racist behind every bush. Let's not tolerate the racists; this kind of talk. And I just thought the Gates' incident, and again, the president's handling of it, showed the thinness of that narrative; how that line was probably not any longer, if ever it was adequate, to capture the reality of our racial condition if you will.
Glen Loury: Well, I don't want to pretend to omniscience here, but I'd say there are several aspects of it that I would point out. One is the continuing fact of a developmental lag, or a gap, between the African-American population taken as a whole, not of course, including every person, on the one hand; and the much of the rest of the country, on the other. But actually, not the only group of people who manifest certain of the kinds of problems that I would talk about here and that are reflected in policing and prisons. Problems of poor education and intermittent employment and limited full human development. Problems of fragile and fractured communities and families of large numbers of under socialized and underdeveloped young people who end up getting into trouble. I could go on, and you see the line that this would draw. It would say that the African American population, taken as a whole, lags behind on the average along many of these dimensions. This is a stubborn reality and it has consequences. It can't be easily reconciled with a pat account about racism and discrimination that lets us sort of relax into saying when we finally get this right, when we get rid of racism, when we reach the post-racial society, everything is going to be okay. Well, no, because along the way here, as we've not yet been in this racial nirvana, facts on the ground have been created. Blighted lives have played themselves out and human difficulties have developed. And these are stark, they're staring us in the face, they're the subtexts for a lot of our politics; they're the story behind the story. So when Gates, a Harvard professor, God bless him, I certainly intend him no ill will. But when he trots out this story about a racist, rogue police officer, and when he begins to embrace this rhetoric of racial profiling, frankly -- and when the president buys into this, and unlike what the wisdom that he typically exhibits, President Obama, in conducting public affairs, makes a huge mistake by buying into this. It is a distraction from the real story. The real story -- two and a quarter million Americans, half of whom are black, under lock and key on a given day -- the real story, stop and frisk as the police technique du jour, in city after city around this country where the rubber hits the road, in terms of profiling; where people are getting sent off to Richter's Island because they had a joint in their pocket, and so forth and so on. Where the real story is kids learning how to be men from other kids who've been locked up for five years and then get out, because they all get out, go back to the same neighborhoods and strut their new bodies and their tattoos and their hardened attitudes as a part of the social counseling that ends up forming the normative structure of these communities. And I'm talking about tens upon tens, upon tens of thousands of them, in and out, in and out of this system.
Glenn Loury: we have to look these real objective differences of acquired capacities in the lives of human beings in the face, as between racial groups, and then think about what to do with it. To me, the first step along that way, the most important step along that way is constructing a social safe.
In my mind, if we're going to look these problems of disparity between racial groups in the United States, disparity of human development and acquired capacity for functioning. Look these problems directly on, then the solutions that suggest themselves to me are building a system of social supports, of mutual support that includes everyone, and that, therefore, eases the difficult situation of people who are especially disadvantaged, which people will be disproportionately present in the African American population, in a disadvantage racial minority population. So we need to fix the schools. We, actually, I think, need to spend a lot more than we do spend on educating our young people. I could go down a litany; I'm going to have a whole lot of policy suggestions to throw out and I'm not sure that's -- this is the time or place for it. But I'm saying healthcare fixes our attention on one particular issue. We can talk about education, we can talk about jobs, we can talk about what we do in our cities. We can talk about how we deal with the homeless and the mentally ill, and such. And we can talk about the gated community syndrome, the it's not my problem I don't want to pay any tax. Whatever. So this will sound pie in the sky; why don't we have a Northern European style welfare state? Why is the United States 50 years or more behind in the development of the institutions of social cooperation that we see in other societies, like France and Britain, and Germany, and the Netherlands, and Sweden, and so on? Canada. And how can we countenance this two-tier or multi-tier system of education where we know in advance that we're consigning some of our young people to lives of social marginality. It's a practically predictable consequence of what we do. And yet our vested int. The land of the free -- we've got an army marching around the world under the banner of freedom, and yet, we are the most un-free society, in terms of institutions of the deprivation of liberty, of incarceration. The incidents of incarceration isHow can we countenance, and so on and so forth? So my sermon, in answer to the question of what is it to do, and my sermon for us Americans, would be to construct the kind of institutions of mutuality and social cooperation that don't leave 15 or 20 percent of our people falling through the cracks. We can do it. It's not like we don't know what to do. It's not like there aren't models there. It's not like this isn't being done elsewhere. It's not like we can't afford to do it. It's a question of political will and it's about our definition as a people. What kind of community are we? So, that's where I would start the sermon. How to translate that into policy? Well easier said than done. I'm aware of that, but that's how I see it.
Question: What would you change about our criminal justice system?
Ger. Three strikes' laws make no sense as policy. They are more about the politicians responding to the people’s desire to see their fury at social dysfunction reflected in the law. Our sentences are way too long. We need to look at the war on drugs, which is to say we need to look and this is easier said than done. Once again, politically, not an easy lift at all. Nevertheless, our policy is self-defeating. We're not keeping people from using the substances. We're creating a huge black market, just like we did under prohibition, which attracts all kinds of criminal enterprise.
Gled. For what it's worth, I was not guilty of the charge but I was accused of assaulting somebody and, therefore, confronting real criminal liability, at least potentially. It didn't work out that way, but there I was in that spotlight. The stigma when you're singled out as someone who has done something wrong, that stays with you. Even if you haven't done the thing that people think you might have done, and so forth and so on. I suppose that also has affected me. I'd also say that the way that I came up, in Chicago, not a poor family, not a sort of stereotypical, sort of ghetto upbringing if you will. But nevertheless, one with some rough edges and one where there were people with one foot to either side of the law, who were regular presences in my young world, as a boy and young man growing up in Chicago. My uncle would take me to the state pen to visit friends of his who were incarcerated. He wanted me to have the experience of going there. There, but for the grace of God, go I, he would say to me about these people who were in prison. I think that kind of thing surely has had some effect on me also..
Question: Should we legalize all drugs?
Glenn Loury: I think I'd decriminalize. I think I would heavily regulate the control. I think I, if you're asking me, and my mouth is no prayer book, but my view is, I'd view addiction to these substances as a medical problem and I would treat it accordingly. What little I know about the history of drug control policy in the United States leaves me thinking that a hugely important moment came when the lawyers win out over the doctors on this matter. That is to say, when the medical profession basically surrendered, and perhaps they had no choice in the matter, their autonomy to handle the difficult problems of addiction to substances, which is a medical problem, to the anti-drug crusaders, legal crusaders who wanted to make everything against the law and then throw people in prison. Just as we can see in retrospect that criminalizing the consumption of alcohol proves not to be the solution to the very real problem of drunkenness. So to what I want to say is the very real problem of the human susceptibility to addiction isn't best dealt with by building prisons and throwing people into jails. Question: What keeps you up at night?
Glen Loury: Well, I think the War on Terror is something that I'm most terrified of. Now that may seem to be coming out of, I don't know, left field or the stratosphere. I'm not sure where that comes from, 'cause we've been talking about race and domestic American policy, and drugs, and whatnot. And I'm not a foreign policy expert by any means. I'm not. I'm not. And yet Iraq, Afghanistan, not just that, but the whole kind of taking over of our defense and security establishment by this mentality, this kind of Orwellian war against a shape-shifting and faceless, and almost indefinable enemy. The war that never ends. I mean, when is it going to be over? The war that someone even dare not say we're not fighting it any more. I mean it's kind of -- I'm not only talking about the threats to our civil liberties from surveillance. I'm not only talking about the damage to our national reputation, from the actions that we've taken with enemy combatants and others; detaining these people, kidnapping these people, torturing these people. I'm not only talking about that; I'm talking about getting used to being at war. The country's been at war for ten years, for a decade. We're settling in to being at war. That's terrifying in the extreme to me. We've defined this problem like we were little Israel, sitting there surrounded by great Arab armies in the myth, in the storyline. Like we're, we're, we've got to engage in the drone-operated assassinations of potential enemies. We've got to accept as standard operating procedure, the collateral damage in which whole families are wiped out, sometimes by accident, sometimbest we have to say for it is that it wasn't our intention to kill them. We've got this volunteer army where nine-tenths of the populations sits back on our haunches, hoping that the price of gasoline doesn't go too high, while we've got a professionalized fighting class. Andwe're finished with them in Afghanistan and Iraq? They're coming home. They're coming home with all of the scars of battle, with all of the habituated attitudes of violence; with everything that's serving in a theater of combat, sometimes two and three times over, will effect, in the life of a human being. We're biting off a huge, huge, huge, headache here. And the fact that we don’t' talk about it, that we don't have a politics in which this question of war and peace can even get onto the table, so that we can open up our Orwell, our 1984, or Animal Farm, or whatever, and read the political text that's being spotted to us on the television right off of the page; the fact that we don't have a politics robust enough to actually debate whether or not we want to be a country permanently at war. That's what keeps me from sleeping at night..
Glenn Loury: The progressive forces in our country including those in the press, I don’t think do the cause any good by not reporting with brutal, critical candor, and scrutiny, on this administration, every bit as much as they would do on any other administration.
Now I hope that in the fullness of time -- we're only nine months, eight months into this, I will be proven wrong about this. But I have detected from time to time, a reticence and a kind of, as if the campaign were still going on, and we all kind of know that people who are covering campaigns in the press, develop allegiances, and that colors the way in which they do their reporting. I don't think that's disputable. I think there's plenty of evidence to that effect on all sides. But the campaign is long since over and we really need a hard-hitting, critical press. I mean, I see elements of it, but I don't see it to it's full extent. I'm talking about, for example, on these questions of war and peace. I don't take it as a given at all that we need to be doubling down in Afghanistan. I don't take that as a given at all. That's the direction in which the president is going. I want hard-hitting, critical assessment of that, from the liberal and progressive media, not merely a, he's our guy, we got to protect him, kind of reaction that is somehow what I feel like I'm getting. From my little small part of my little corner of the public policy world, and I write about race and affirmative action, and race discrimination, and domestic policy and prisons, and all this kind of thing. I'm sure determined to do that. I'm determined as I was trying to do in reaction to this Henry Louis Gates affair, to call the president out when I think he's making mistakes or when I think he's guided wrong. And to do that as a part of my responsibility as a public intellectual, and so forth and so on. So for what that may be worth, I'll say that.
Glenn Loury: I got some heroes, though, you're right about that. That's right. My pastor; this little church that I used to go to when I was a better Christian than I am now -- and his wife have devoted, they're physicians, Harvard trained physician. He's devoted his entire life to building a church in a community in Boston, and has helped thousands and thousands of people. And is as pious and as serious, and as humane a human being as you might imagine. Reverend Ray Hammond. I'm glad to be able to put him at the top of my list. No, I'm not running for anything in Boston; I don't need his endorsement. But he's certainly a good man. Another guy I think of, who I admire tremendously, is Ernesto Cortez, who's a well-known community organizer; the Industrial Areas Foundation. He works out of Austin, Texas but he's organizing throughout the southwest. I've known him for 25 years. And I tell you that these community organizers in some of these places in New Orleans and in Houston, and San Antonio, and L.A., and various cities around the southwest. I've had a chance to interact with them. Down in the Rio Grande Valley, they have Mexican Immigrant population and stuff like that; organizer. I've been to Holiday Inns at the airport and 500 people wearing the same t-shirt have been jumping up and down inside of auditorium, talking about they were going to get a community college education so they could run one of these MRI machines at the hospital, or something like that. They were talking about, we want $25 an hour jobs, not minimum wage jobs. And we're prepared to --
Glenn Loury:elected comfortably, in his first year with a very ambitious agenda, inheriting a economic crisis, passing massive fiscal legislation in this stimulus package which has huge implications down the road; budgetary, tax wise, and so forth and so on; and having at the top of his agenda, reforming healthcare, needs to win this one. Right. He wins this one, he gets this done, he is a long way toward a successful first term. He's a long way toward minimizing whatever setbacks the Democrats might have in the 2010 mid-year elections. Mid-term elections. And he's up there with LBJ and FDR in terms of solidifying the 20th, 21st, century American Welfare State. This is major. Healthcare is major. So the politics of this as the right-wing understands very, very well, is tremendously profound. So I see, I see the policy issues, I see the politics, but I also see the moral issue. Because this really is about who we are as a people here. And this healthcare debate--now everybody knows the history; Clintons' tried; they failed early in their administration. And they suffered serious setbacks in the '94 elections and the rest is history. Obama is teetering here. He tries, he fails; then we've got two failures, right, to try to do this. And the fact that we are the only advanced industrial democracy where people can get sick and languish because they can't afford care. Or where people are blocked in access to the system because they don't have access to insurance, which is only available through certain narrow portals and under certain very restricted conditions. The fact that we're the only society that hasn't embraced this idea that no one should go without access to these And no one should be saddled with a lifetime of debt because they have the misfortune of falling ill. That's a major moral issue. So I see it as a moment of big moral challenge for the country. Those are the broad outlines that I see. Question: What do you think of the administration’s plan?
Glenn Loury: I want the president to succeed here and I want the country to move in this direction. There's a lot to pick over and argue about on the policy front. I get the public option, because it's the stalking horse -- I know I'm not supposed to say this, I know that this is not the line -- it's the camel's nose under the tent for what I think is the correct solution to this problem, which is the so-called single payer system. Which is Medicare for all, which is the government stands behind, collects the taxes to pay for, regulates the provision of but stands behind the provision of these services to everybody. That's not to stop somebody who has a lot of money from buying something extra. That's to say, here's the government and we're providing this to everybody. Now people have said that they can't get that done, politically, here in the United States, and I see that very clearly. The vitriolic and hysterical attacks against the president's efforts to reform healthcare, labeling them socialism, talking with them in terms of fascist and government profound government intrusion into the lives of people. When in fact, what it is what every other advanced, wealthy, democratic, industrialized country has done, and nothing more, shows me that to come straight out for the single payer system would probably meet with political failure. Therefore, we have had to invent this end run around the political realities and as I understand the public option, and I know there'd be a lot of debate about this, that's the main role of it. They say compete with insurance companies. I think what it actually means is compel or coerce, or drive insurance companies into a mode of behavior. We're not going to get rid of the insurance middleman, here, with a single payer system, but we're going to create a public presence in the insurance industry, powerful enough to drive the direction of the industry in the way that we, together with regulation, want it to go. And so therein lies the big policy debate. What I think about that is I wish that we had the capacity to go directly at the single payer system. I think what we're doing is messy; so messy that the president can't explain it. And he's pretty good. He's pretty good at explaining stuff and people still don't really get what's going on because it's messy. There's a lot of -- there's a lot of demagogic rhetoric and not only on the right there's some of this rhetoric about the insurance companies that I hear coming, for example, from the Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi, I wish would be reconsidered. I say this as a guy who, I think of myself as on the left. But I think that if you have a system where you say you're selling insurance to people, it's very natural that the company selling the insurance are going to try to vet claims and minimize the amount of payments that they have to make. If you have a system that says everybody who needs healthcare gets it and we're going to make sure that it gets paid for by raising your taxes and providing the requirements on individuals where they have the ability to pay, such as we determine as appropriate, then the insurance issue doesn't come up. So what am I trying to say about the insurance companies. I think the talk about insurance company profit and insurance company venality, as the source of this problem, is a by-product of our unwillingness to confront head-on, the sort of deeper, moral issue, which is that we should provide the services, in terms of healthcare, to the people who need them, more or less, regardless of their ability to pay. And it's divisive. It's divisive, political rhetoric. I don't necessarily buy all these claims that the president and other people are making about the savings, magically, that are going to come from preventive care and all of that. Again, if one reads the studies and not the hype, my understanding of it -- I don't claim to be an expert, but I'm an intelligent consumer of the literature -- is that oftentimes preventive screening ends up costing more because you have to screen the universal population. It's good health policy, because screening allows you to do preventable interventions for the people who have a malady, but if one in ten women have breast cancer and you do the tests for everybody, that's going to be ten times for everyone that you catch, et cetera, et cetera. The arithmetic need not work out to cost savings, which is not an argument for not testing everybody, it's just an argument that the imagined cost-savings may not materialize, and so on and so forth. So it's the right thing for us to do. It's a complex policy move, it's hugely, politically important for President Obama, and the opposition recognizes that. There is a lot of demagoguery and hype on all sides. The cost implications of what we're planning to do are substantial and I think, have probably been underestimated by the proponents. It's not a reason for us not doing it, but it is a reason to look straight into the eye of what it is that we undertake here, to make sure that we provide properly for paying for it, and so on.

en | N/A | N/A | Media Genesis Helps to More Than Double Attendance for the Detroit Symphony Orchestra Through Digital Distribution
Troy, MI, July 05, 2012 --(PR.com)-- The first complete season of “Live from Orchestra Hall,” offering 22 live broadcasts of classical concerts by the Detroit Symphony Orchestra (DSO) on a web platform created by Media Genesis, received 120,000 views from more than 75 countries. Combined with the DSO’s Neighborhood Concert Series and attendance at the historic Orchestra Hall, the classical season had an audience of more than 200,000.
The DSO’s web series at dso.org/live is offered for free, and viewers can choose to make a donation. During the first year of “Live from Orchestra Hall,” the average viewer gave $78, demonstrating the tremendous value and potential of reaching out into the digital space. Outside the U.S., the viewership of “Live from Orchestra Hall” was highest in Canada, Russia, France and Germany.
Media Genesis, an internet services firm located in Troy, MI, designed and developed the webcast page to include interactive features such as real-time program notes, the ability to update future webcasts to a calendar, and social media integration. These interactive elements helped the DSO’s May concert with Kid Rock achieve a place in the top 10 trending topics on Twitter.
The DSO and Media Genesis launched “Live from Orchestra Hall” on May 5, 2011, making the DSO the first American orchestra to deliver a series of live orchestral performances online and drawing a larger digital audience than the DSO’s traditional auditorium audience. The DSO is known for breaking new ground to deliver their music to the world; in 1922, the DSO performed the first radio broadcast of a complete symphonic concert.

en | N/A | N/A | 'The Butler' movie controversy rages on: Who's right?
Lights, Cameras, Blockbusters!Harvey Weinstein claims Warner Bros. is "bullying." the Lee Daniels-directed movie The Butler?The chances are, you probably have now, thanks to a hugely publicized effort by none other than Hollywood studio mogul Harvey Weinstein. What, exactly, is stuck in Harvey's craw now?I say "now" simply because The Weinstein Company is definitely no stranger to battles with the MPAA. Remember Harvey Weinstein taking the MPAA to task over the "F" word uses in The King's Speech, or the decision to overturn an NC-17 ruling for TWC's Blue Valentine?Yeah, this is nothing new, but it is interesting. Allow me to summarize: Next month, a movie called The Butler is set for release. This is a big-name film, and it stars none other than Forest Whitaker as Cecil Gaines, a butler who worked in The White House for more than 30 years. This movie is, by the way, so we're talking potentially major historical drama. Other cast members in The Butler include Alan Rickman and Jane Fonda. Now, here's what's essentially going on: Last week, it was decided that The Weinstein Company could not release The Butler under it's current title. Why?Because there is already a film called The Butler, a 1916 short film registered by Warner Bros. and this would be a violation of the MPAA's rules about similar or duplicate titles. Essentially, the idea is that movies with such similar (or the same) titles might confuse the general public. When this legal battle went into arbitration, Warner Bros. won, meaning if TWC wants to release The Butler next month, it must give the film a different title.The whole situation is becoming a three ring circus, with Harvey Weinstein appearing on TV and bashing Warner Bros. for being a "bully" and MPAA chief Chris Dodd firing back that the whole situation was just "silly." Oh, and also: Harvey W. said the following on CBS This Morning:Iaim.Oh snap!Now TWC has brought The Hobbit into it. Not sure I buy that argument, but hey, what do I know?Well, I know that I think this entire situation is utterly ridiculous. How on earth would we (i.e. the General Public) be confused by these movie titles?I haven't seen the 1916 movie short The Butler...but oh, it was never released. What the heck, Warner Bros.?This all seems very petty and very, very personal. In this case, I have to say, I'm agreeing with Harvey Weinstein's decision to fight.What do you think?Either way, if nothing else, this whole situation is generating a pretty hefty amount of additional publicity for the upcoming movie The Butler (which looks like a great film).Photo courtesy of The Hollywood Reporter Read more on TheShouldn't there be a moritorium on film titles?I've seen movies before with the same name, I wonder how those got through. It sounds like a political thing, particularly if the Hobbit claims are true. Someone needs to smack some common sense into Hollywood. I can just see the movie business in another 20 years, when all the titles are used up. They'll start spell things in text message speak. Maybe "Teh Butlr" would work?

Cis- and trans-olibanic acids (left) were identified as being behind the distinctive smell of frankincense. Cis-isocascarillic acid (right) was isolated from oranges in 2007
Althoughhe exact identity of the compounds that give it its distinctive smell remained a mystery. Because classic techniques like thin layer chromatography, GC–MS or even HPLC were not sensitive enough to identify all of frankincense's many odorants, the team led by Nicolas Baldovini at the University of Nice Sophie Antipolis in France, used chromatography–olfactometry. This system splits the output of a gas chromatograph into two different lines: a classic mass spectrometry detector, and a sniffing port, where a researcher can smell and hopefully identify the aroma of every peak. For scientists working in this area, the human nose remains a valuable tool and can be more sensitive to certain smells than lab instruments.
Chemists identified two unknown peaks with a smell that was highly characteristic of frankincense in the acidic fraction of the extract, which represents just 0.2% of the oil. 'Although it was quite difficult, it was also very hopeful to find an odour zone that had never been identified before,' says Baldovini. Because these molecules were present in trace amounts, researchers had to refine 3kg of essential oil to obtain just 1mg of them. The team then synthesised the four isomers of 2-octylcyclopropanecarboxylic acid, also known as olibanic acid, to prove that they had correctly identified the two molecules responsible for frankincense's distinctive smell. 'These molecules are not commercially available in enantiopure forms, so we had to make them in the lab. We had no other choice,' adds Baldovini.
Baldovini says that molecules previously linked to frankincense's smell 'lack the characteristic, church like smell; actually most of them are odourless'. The only antecedent of a compound with a true olibanum note was a very similar molecule called cis isocascarillic acid isolated from oranges. 'This molecule probably fits the same olfactory receptor, but nothing like it had ever been isolated from frankincense,' said Baldovini.

There's nothing I'm aware of that would prevent anyone from making a set of vehicles, roads, etc to "extend" any particular pak, and releasing that to the public. It could be compiled to a set of add-on pak files that would extend a particular pak. I don't think any permission (Assuming nothing was improperly used) would be needed.
I'm also wondering: If such an addon was made, and it did match quality standards and realism as accurately as possible... could it be accepted as part of pak128 by default, or would it only stay a mod? I could ask the same question for other paks too, however I don't use others as I'm either not fond of anything under 128px or don't find some as visually appealing.
It's borderline impossible to create one futuristic skyscraper. If that one building was "sane", it would just be a 'modern' skyscraper. And as such, you could just alter introduction dates of existing skyscrapers and be done with it. If it was "insane", it might work as being futuristic, but at the same time, it would just be one weird thing weirdly popping out from a "normal" landscape, not very appealing. You'd need several of them. Though the future is unknown, and depiction in fiction diffuse. If you go with one weird style and someone else with another weird style, it would not mix well. This is different from actual buildings from the past and present day, where everyone can just take a photo and recreate what they see, and as long as it's recognizable, creations from various authors go together. So you would need to create not just one or two assets and hope they work with what already exists, you'd instead need to start a large scale project with a destinct style that shows your version of the future. Is it organic shapes? Is it cyberpunk-neon? Will you f%$§ gravity with floating elements? Is everything round? has everything hard edges? Which means of transportation will persist, which will perish?
Again, you can easily create some random modern assets and plant them in the near future. That's what was done many years ago, but we already caught up with them. It's not very interesting and does not lead anywhere, it's just as good as any random asset at any other time. To really get some futuristic/future flair, you require a large scale project and a lot, lot of work done - not just an idea.
I made some addons, even a complete pack of maglevs for pak128, but that was long ago. At that time I had much more free time (I was about 14, now I have a job, etc...), and took less time to make graphics as I was less skilled and made things of a lower quality than my recent addons.
I'm not comfortable with including contents from other paksets. If several paksets exist, it's because they have very different styles. Things from pak128 Britain would be awful in pak128 and vice-versa.
I concur regarding offering add-on paks for paksets. Of course, the main problem isn't a lack of organization, but a lack of people interested and able in making content.
I would say instead "lack of enough people interested and able in making content to meet expectations".
I see. Very glad it became open-source eventually in that case, I wouldn't be here today if it wasn't I assume at least the default paks (pak64 and pak128) are FOSS and licensed under a CC-* license, as they couldn't be distributed by my Linux distribution anyway if not.s. |

He said he could smell something as if there were 4 beds lined up like how he used to take care of his patients in Afghanistan. We were walking through some hallway when he did this. There were no beds visible. As he was pointing out the area, I saw a woman come towards me. She looked like a Japanese woman, short with janitorial clothes they wear in a hospital. Her face was black. It seemed like it was covered with some dark shiny plastic like mask. Perhaps, something like shiny tar painted on her face or it sort of reminded me of the face of Darth Vader. It was shiny and black but I could not quite make out her face. Later I wondered if it was a figure connected to Black Madonna. She came towards the right of me. Was she reaching out with her hands? I think I was turning to the right and then I noticed a strong vivid sensation of me turning on the bed. At this point, I was quite aware I was doing BCI. I felt the bed was also turning clockwise, my right side sinking to the bottom, left side of me coming up while lying in bed. I might even have heard some sound of turning. I think felt my body was chilly first doing the BCI but just as I was turning my body started feeling warmer and even blissful. I think felt my body turning for perhaps 10 to 30 seconds, going round and round.

While theaters always pose technical hurdles, in the case of the newly completed Sidney Harman Hall in Washington, D.C., there were unusual constraints and challenges, says Mallard, who was the project architect. To start, the theater is sited in a mixed-use building — the three stories owned by the Shakespeare Theatre Company lie immediately below the offices of a bricklayer's union. "They have different hours and routines, and there are acoustic isolation concerns." In some of the shows, "you have pyrotechnics going off below an office building."
Attendance was up by more than 25 percent in early 2008, and roughly 2,000 additional seats have been sold per show. Anecdotal evidence supports the numbers: "The Washington Ballet loves" the intimate space, according to Mallard, and the venue has been popularhall has been in high demand since opening last year. "Its first year has been a phenomenal success," says Mallard. "It's been working overtime." |

Yash is very professional, no pressure, and has beautiful carpets of all types and grades. We had a wonderful experience and just love our carpets. They brought several carpets to our house and placed them the applicable rooms. It was a great experience and we plan to purchase more carpets in the future from Toossi.
I cannot speak highly enough about Toossi Rugs. The team was highly professional - to start, they brought several rugs over several visits to out home (no easy task) and patiently assisted us - they had seasoned opinions that they only offered when asked. Their overall approach is one of no pressure and truly comes from a place of wanting to provide excellent customer service.
