Washington, D.C. June 10, 2019– Today, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced that Canada will ban single-use plastics as early as 2021, following on a similar move by the EU earlier this year. The government is considering items such as bottled water, plastic bags and straws.
This is a welcome development. Bans on single-use plastics will help address the growing threat of microplastics in our food, water and air—the health effects of which are unknown. They also send a powerful signal that the world does not welcome more climate-damaging fracked gas to create plastic. Cheap natural gas has helped the petrochemical industry thrive. New research from Food & Water Watch shows that more than 300 petrochemical facilities have been planned or built to take advantage of America’s gas glut.
There is a symbiotic relationship between plastic manufacturing and the fracking industry. Any regulation that curbs one industry will help decrease pollution from the other. Plastics and fossil fuels go hand in hand.
Single-use plastics are also vehicles for wasteful and expensive bottled water that undermine our public water systems and generate corporate profits off of our communities’ water resources, which should be managed in the public interest. The price of bottled water is too high for our planet and for the human right to water.
DP to HDMI, HDMI to DP, and HDMI to DP MINI, DP MINI to HDMI, etc,  all exist just google them. However it can get complicated quickly... 

Active vs passive matters on for both devices. HDMI protocol isn't the same a DP so you depending on the hardware it might need to be converted and not all cables do this. It gets even more complicated with longer cables because the signal degrades differently depending on the encoding and how the cable is actually wired.

For example, often video cards have a DP port that encodes DP or HDMI depending on the device you plug it into. So a passive DP to HDMI cable might work with some devices but not others if you use this port.MONTEREY – The proposed Monterey airport access road through a portion of Del Rey Oaks has been determined by the Federal Aviation Administration to be better served by the existing Airport Road through Monterey, putting an end to a contentious period between Del Rey Oaks and airport leaders. But that decision may not be sitting well with Monterey city officials.
Monterey Peninsula Airport District Board Chair Mary Ann Leffel spoke at the Del Rey Oaks City Council meeting on Tuesday, updating the council, staff and public on the Airport District’s plan to enhance safety at the Monterey Regional Airport.
But the city of Monterey may have its own objections to the FAA recommendation.
The Draft Environmental Assessment is currently extended an additional 14 days until 5 p.m. on April 20.
Leffel emphasized at the Del Rey Oaks meeting that the hangars being moved from the south side would be built on the north side with access through Airport Road in Monterey, but that several other businesses would be moving away, reducing overall traffic and particularly larger truck traffic through Airport Road, said Pick.
“The FAA determined the access road (through DRO) was the environmentally preferred alternative but was not feasible as the result of the conflict with the current General Plan for Del Rey Oaks,” said La Pier.
The Airport District has been working with the city of Del Rey Oaks for about seven years to affect a change to the city’s General Plan which does not support an access road. The citizenry of Del Rey Oaks voiced a very loud and concerted response to the prospect of the access route proposed for Del Rey Gardens Drive which had an impact on the recommendation.
La Pier said that the FAA is being asked to invest $190 million over 10 years for different Monterey Regional Airport programs associated with the proposed Airport Safety Enhancement Project for Taxiway ‘A’ Relocation and Associated Building Relocations, with $13 million in construction funds possible this year.
According to the FAA’s assessment, average daily traffic trips will go from about 750 to between about 673 to 693.
La Pier said that since airport officials were notified of the recommendation by the FAA, they have met three times with the city of Monterey and twice with the Casanova Oak Knoll Association neighborhood representatives to make sure they had advance knowledge of the FAA’s determination and to work with them to develop strategies to help address their concerns.
“It is important to note that the traffic projected on Airport Road is aviation related only which is in keeping with the general and neighborhood plans,” said La Pier.
The city of Monterey can comment to the FAA about the environmental assessment report to make its case concerning its recommendation. The agency will review, adjust as needed, issue a final report, with a decision to follow shortly thereafter. La Pier said he expects the FAA’s final decision sometime in the summer.

But it is one of the most interesting Device you can buy for around 400 euros. However, it will not be due to its front camera.
The smartphone does not has autofocus, and ends up having not only poor video stabilization but limited dynamic range. The video reveals itself with little detail and the colors also fall short in certain lighting conditions.
In the photographic field, the dynamic range is again limited and there are serious exposure problems. Occasionally the colors are very poorly saturated, and the limited field of view is also a problem.
Realme X50 Pro Player Edition will have a screen to cry for more!
On the positive side, there is good color rendering and good details in close-up images outside. In the video the noise is controlled, and there is a good exposure in good light conditions.
The Realme X2 Pro is a smartphone that bets on performance, sacrificing the cameras. You won’t be taking the best photos with this Device, but for the price it is still interesting in the field of “firepower”.
Employing Resilience In the Face of Trauma.
When an individual is faced with a traumatic event, one that is “deeply distressing or disturbing” as defined by Merriam Webster Dictionary, the ways of coping varies significantly from individual to individual. We as humans have proven to be resilient in our ability to cope and adapt to changing and devastating circumstances. Eloquently illustrated within the film Jackie (2016), directed by Pablo Larrain, Jackie Kennedy, performed by Natalie Portman, exhibits extraordinary resilience during the immediate days following the death of her husband, President John F. Kennedy.
For mental health providers, The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual (5th ed., DSM-5; American Psychiatric Association, 2013) outlines various criteria that assists in determining whether a specific event is one that is considered traumatic; and specifically may lead to symptoms that would require a mental health diagnosis and treatment. Amongst the criteria includes directly experiencing the traumatic event, witnessing in person the event that has occurred to others, and/or learning that the event has happened to a close family member or friend. In such events, the injury would be described as “violent or accidental”. Additional criteria include experiencing the traumatic event repetitively or having prolonged exposure to the details of the event. Witnessing her husband’s assassination by gunshot on November 22nd, 1963 while in the vehicle with him warrants her experience to be one of trauma. In the days after his death, though Jackie finds herself grieving, she does not appear to become overwhelmed in her bereavement. Rather, she harnessed her emotional strength to initiate the planning and execution of a funeral to craft a memory for the country to ensure the life and works of her husband would be remembered. Because the results of trauma can take various forms, one may wonder how this experience did not result in her experiencing post-traumatic symptoms.
For some individuals when faced with circumstances that may be experienced as traumatic, they possess an ability that allows for continuous demonstration of positive, progressive behaviors in the face of adversity. “Resilience is the composite of phenomenon, which empowers a person to return to functional status following a damaging….violent event or events” (Madsen, M. & Able, N., 2010 p 224). Personal characteristics contribute to one’s ability to be resilient, yet do not account for all influences that promote resilience. Rather, “individual resilience occurs when there is an opportunity structure (an environment that facilitates access to resources).” (Ungar, 2013). As such, resilience is influenced by personal attributes coupled with an environment that possesses “protective factors”. Protective factors can include
