Why can’t dogs have green peppers? Never give your dog spicy peppers, they contain capsaicin which can cause irritations. This healthy vegetable is a great treat alternative but always speak to your vet before adding human food into your dog’s diet.
Can green peppers hurt dogs? Dogs can eat bell peppers. They can eat any colour of bell pepper, be it green, yellow, orange or red. They can also eat them both raw and cooked. Just remember to remove the stem and seeds before you feed any pepper to your pup.
Can peppers make dogs sick? Dogs can eat bell peppers. They are safe and do not cause any health issues or stomach illnesses. The Bell Peppers are healthy for dogs if they are feed in the right amounts. If your dog does not like to eat the bell peppers, there are also other healthy vegetable options.
Can dogs have cucumbers? Are Cucumbers Safe for Dogs? Cucumbers are perfectly safe for dogs to eat, and offer a low-calorie, crunchy snack that many dogs love. Cucumbers only contain about 8 calories per one-half cup of slices, compared to the 40 calories in a single medium biscuit, and are very low in sodium and fat.

This Spicy Honey Almond Brittle is seriously addicting! It has all the flavor of sweet and buttery brittle with a little bit of heat from some cayenne pepper that keeps you going back for more.
I know it's January and I'm *supposed* to be posting recipes for green smoothies and tofu, but come on guys! But, I just can't help myself. I was actually planning on sharing today's recipe for Spicy Honey Almond Brittle before Christmas, but it never happened so I thought, "what the heck!". It's kind of been my motto lately.
Drag my booty out of bed at 6:30 to exercise this morning even though the babe kept me up most of the night? Sure, what the heck!
Eat all the rest of the Christmas cookies because I worked out this morning? What the heck.
You get the idea.
Is Spicy Honey Almond Brittle the new crack?
Maybe. At least, I can't stop eating it and everybody that tries it asks for the recipe. It's a little different from regular peanut brittle with the almonds and has just a little bit of heat that warms the back of your throat as you eat it. I love it! The honey gives it a great flavor too, but I think it's the cayenne that makes it super addictive.
If you are afraid of making candy, this recipe would be a good introduction to it. You don't necessarily need a candy thermometer, though it doesn't hurt (Here's a link to the one I use). If you have a bowl of ice water beside the stove you can drizzle a little bit of the candy into the water and see how it's doing. If it hardens right away and is crunchy when you bite into it, it's ready.

- Combine sugar, water, honey and butter in a medium-sized sauce pan and cook over medium-high heat.
- Stir until the sugar is dissolved and butter is melted and cook until light amber in color-- about 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally. If you have a candy thermometer, remove it from the heat once it hits 300 degrees (hard crack stage).
- If not using a candy thermometer, you can drizzle a bit of the mixture into a bowl of ice water and if the candy hardens and is crunchy it's ready. Remove from the heat immediately as it will continue to cook and can burn.
- Stir in almonds, cinnamon and cayenne pepper and pour onto a lined baking sheet (lightly grease if using foil). Let cool until completely hardened and break into bite-sized pieces.

Edelson: NFL influences apparent in Red Bank Catholic, Middletown North showdown
RED BANK - Perhaps everyone should have seen this one coming, because it’s rare that you get a pair of high school head coaches with NFL experience.
But Middletown North’s Steve Bush had coached at the high school and college level when he joined head coach Tony Sparano’s staff with the Miami Dolphins in 2008, working as an offensive coach under coordinator Dan Henning.
And Red Bank Catholic’s Frank Edgerly left as the Caseys head coach in 2008 to join the scouting staff with the New England Patriots for four seasons, before spending three seasons with the Cleveland Browns, including two seasons on the coaching staff.
So on Friday night at Count Basie Field, two well prepared offenses took the field, and the result was a track meet. Eventually, it was Red Bank Catholic scoring 26 unanswered points to open the second half, pulling away to a 60-41 win after the game was tied, 34-34, at halftime.
``Remember the old WAC conference games that used to be on ESPN at 11:30 with BYU? Holy cow,’’ laughed Edgerly, who returned to Red Bank Catholic last season, while Bush is in his fifth season with the Lions.
``I’ve known Steve from way back when,’’ Edgerly said. ``Obviously, our paths are very similar in some respects, but he did a really, really good job. In that first half it was one of those where, it’s rare that in the first quarter you start thinking it’s going to be a last possession game. And that was one of those at that point. We just had to keep going, and fortunately we were able to answer the bell each time, but man.’’
NJ Football: Zach Bair, Steve Lubischer, Nick Brusca lead Red Bank Catholic to wild win
The two teams combined for 834 yards of offense, with Red Bank Catholic rolling up 305 in the first half, to 298 for Middletown North.
``Offensively, (Middletown North) is well coached,’’ Edgerly said. ``(Bush) came in and knew what he wanted to do and he is a very, very good football coach and we knew he was going to find the matchups he wanted. They came out running the football with an attitude. It took us a while to get our feet underneath us, but we knew coming in with an offense like that, they were going to challenge us.’’
In the end, Red Bank Catholic just had too many weapons.
Quarterback Steve Lubischer, who suffered a broken collarbone in the season opener last season, leads an offense that has piled up 107 points over the first two weeks. Against the Lions, the senior ran for 134 yards, including a 50-yard touchdown run in the final seconds of the first half, and threw for 98 yards and a pair of touchdowns.
Zack Bair ran for 107 yards and three touchdowns, as the ground attack produced 334 yards.
``Last year with our situation, I know a lot of attention wen to the injured quarterback,’’ Edgerly said. ``But we had running backs who had to play quarterback, wide receivers who had to play running back, and you press through that last year. And once you get to the other side you have a lot of guys that had developed some versatility to their games and a lot of guys who got on the field. You see, we run different personnel packages non-stop and it keeps people on their toes.’’
A year ago it was the high-powered Toms River North offense that was chasing the Shore Conference record for points in a season, held by the 2014 Red Bank Catholic squad that scored 543 points en route to the NJSIAA Non-Public Group III championship.
This season, it looks like it will be Red Bank Catholic chasing its own record.
On this night, however, fans were treated to a pair of well-prepared offenses that put on an incredible show.

Decentralized finance (DeFi) is an ecosystem of applications based on blockchain technology. They allow users to interact and execute transactions without the intervention of banks or other financial institutions. The entire process, including signing a binding contract (smart contract), can be performed remotely, using a smartphone or computer.
Unlike the traditional finance world, which has various, independent branches that serve specific purposes, the DeFi world can be compared to Lego blocks. The “branches” of the DeFi economy all stack together and are able to talk to each other via the application layer of a given blockchain network. DeFi reduces barriers to cooperation between institutions and makes communication cheaper and less complex.
Compositional DeFi allows the communication of many protocols and projects, thanks to which developers are able to create various logical structures and a complex economy using a common base layer of the blockchain and the use of smart contracts on the top of it. This is much more robust than the current structure of contracts, which can involve many hard-to-interpret or poorly prepared contracts written with paper and pen, lawyers, notaries, etc.
Smart contracts are the next step in the development of blockchain technology. They involve the transition from a traditional protocol of financial transactions to a universal tool that will automatically enforce contract terms. This sort of contract minimizes the risk of error or manipulation. Contracts rendered in this way are simple, quickly executed, and can update any relevant data in real time. Moreover, they exclude the need for intermediaries and various types of central institutions through which they might traditionally have to pass.
Smart contracts solve the most important problem that arises when making a transaction — the issue of trust between parties, as well as between the parties and intermediaries. They work automatically, are convenient to use, and ensure that the operation is properly performed.
You can easily use them to confirm transactions in various ways. For example, you can create a transaction that will be executed automatically if it is not canceled in an allotted period of time. These kinds of automations make smart contracts more convenient than traditional contracts, where it is necessary to use the services of a third party that ensures the proper execution of a contract. Although this third party is neutral, they theoretically could be biased and their decisions would have to be honored nonetheless. It is also not uncommon for any of the parties to introduce delays into the execution of a contract for a plethora of reasons. Smart contracts completely eliminate these problems. A smart contract cannot inherently be biased or cause unexpected delays.
In the case of the Ethereum blockchain, the use of a smart contract is not free but is paid for by a so-called 'Gas', a small amount of Ether contributed by one or more of the parties involved in a smart contract. Most often, it is a fee so low that in a broader perspective, the use of smart contracts in an enterprise may be way cheaper than traditional means e.g. by reducing internal administrative costs related to bureaucracy.
Tokens, on the other hand, are similar to poker chips: they are easily exchangeable and can represent the ownership of just about anything. In the DeFi world, tokens can be used for transactions in various networks. Tokens can be created in unrestricted amounts using smart contracts. There can be many types of tokens on one blockchain. Tokens can be created by institutions in order to enable investors which work with cryptocurrencies to interact with the products of these institutions. Tokens are also used e.g. by artists and auction houses with tangible or intangible works of art.
Mysa will become one of the blocks of the entire Ethereum ecosystem, creating its own economy and an open system to which any decentralized application (DApp) on the Ethereum network can connect and invest in real estate.
Openness and ease of access are key aspects of a decentralized application, as they give external platforms the ability to quickly integrate into the Mysa economy.
An example would be an investment fund that has decided to invest in real estate. They could do so via purchasing Mysa Tokens. The fund's application would be able to seamlessly connect to the Mysa platform and purchase or sell tokens based on any parameters they set.


CoinLoan, an Estonia-based platform for crypto loans, is lowering its daily withdrawal cap from US$500,000 to US$5,000 in an effort to avoid liquidity-related outages brought on by spikes in customer withdrawals.
In a blog post published on Monday, the lender, CoinLoan, claimed that the failure of Terra/USTC, Three Arrows Capital (3AC), and other companies had not altered its decision-making process and that it was "possibly the only company unscathed."
The team says in the blog,
We are introducing a temporary measure – a reduction of the account withdrawal limit – in order to balance the flows of funds and prevent liquidity-related interruptions. Please note that this is only a precaution, as the current level of liquidity meets our users’ needs.
CoinLoan has recently joined a growing list of cryptocurrency companies that have restricted or frozen customer withdrawals and transactions due to the pressure of the crypto winter and the ripple effects of the troubled hedge fund 3AC.
After purportedly getting liquidation orders from a British Virgin Islands court, 3AC filed for Chapter 15 bankruptcy on Friday.


Well you had to expect this:
Minutes after ESPN gave Texas $300 million for the rights to All Longhorns All The Time TV, Touchdown Jesus had his people on the phone to NBC.
And let me tell you, Touchdown Matthew, Touchdown Mark and Touchdown Luke were pretty demanding in negotiations.
NBC didn't end up ponying up any more dough, but play-by-play man Tom Hammond will have to mention the pope three times a game. Oh, and sideline reporter Alex Flanagan will be wearing Catholic Schoolgirl garb next season.

Regulated temporal-spatial astrocyte precursor cell proliferation involves BRAF signalling in mammalian spinal cord
Expansion of astrocyte populations in the central nervous system is characteristic of evolutionarily more complex organisms. However, regulation of mammalian astrocyte precursor proliferation during development remains poorly understood. Here, we used Aldh1L1-GFP to identify two morphologically distinct types of proliferative astrocyte precursors: radial glia (RG) in the ventricular zone and a second cell type we call an 'intermediate astrocyte precursor' (IAP) located in the mantle region of the spinal cord. Astrogenic RG and IAP cells proliferated in a progressive ventral-to-dorsal fashion in a tight window from embryonic day 13.5 until postnatal day 3, which correlated precisely with the pattern of active ERK signalling. Conditional loss of BRAF function using BLBP-cre resulted in a 20% decrease in astrocyte production, whereas expression of activated BRAFV600E resulted in astrocyte hyperproliferation. Interestingly, BRAFV600E mitogenic effects in astrocytes were restricted, in part, by the function of p16INK4A-p19(ARF), which limited the temporal epoch for proliferation. Together, these findings suggest that astrocyte precursor proliferation involves distinct RG and IAP cells; is subjected to temporal and spatial control; and depends in part on BRAF signalling at early stages of mammalian spinal cord development.

Tom Sizemore was slapped with a lawsuit Monday from a former co-star who claims the actor groped her at a photo shoot when she was just 11 years old.
The 26-year-old woman filed suit in Utah, and accused the scandal-plagued star of inflicting her with posttraumatic stress and drug and alcohol addiction stemming from the 2003 incident on the set of "Born Killers."
She is seeking at least $3 million in damages.
Reps for Sizemore, 56, did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
The lawsuit comes six months after the allegations first surfaced when a dozen cast and crew members recalled the assault to The Hollywood Reporter.
The production members claimed the girl was seated on Sizemore's lap in a flannel nightgown when he either rubbed his fingers along her vagina or digitally penetrated her during a portrait session for photos that were to be used in the film.
"The girl was so young it was unclear to her and (later) her parents what had actually taken place and if it was intentional or not," production manager Cassidy Lunnen told THR.
Three "Born Killers" producers told the outlet they kicked the "Saving Private Ryan" actor off set immediately upon learning of the assault, but later invited him back for reshoots.
One producer, Michael Manshel, added that the girl's parents spoke to police, but declined to press charges and did not want their daughter removed from the film.
The woman herself hinted that a lawsuit was imminent, and told THR she had recently hired a lawyer and was exploring legal options against both the actor and her parents.
Shortly after the allegations first surfaced, Sizemore denied ever having groped the girl, calling the claims "highly disturbing."
Sizemore was previously convicted of assault and battery against his ex, former "Hollywood Madam" Heidi Fleiss, and has also been arrested on multiple drug charges.

GLASGOW: UK-based medic Dr Nadey Hakim, who presented Prime Minister Narendra Modi with a bust here, said the Indian PM is “quite a popular gentleman” and “everybody likes him”.
The medic also said the Prime Minister made him feel at ease.
PM Modi on Monday met several Indian community leaders and Indologists in Glasgow to strengthen people-to-people ties between India and the United Kingdom.
“Strengthening our people-to-people bonds. Indian community members and Indologists gather in Glasgow to meet Prime Minister Narendra Modi,” External Affairs Ministry Spokesperson Arindam Bagchi said in a tweet.
Scotland-based Hakim was among the people who met Prime Minister Modi. He presented the Prime Minister with a bust.
Hakim said PM Modi “ensured enough time necessary to give respect to another person.”
“I have done the sculpture of the prime minister (Modi) because as you can see he is quite a popular gentleman. Everybody likes him. I really liked his features and I decided to do it. I have to say I am very thrilled first by his reaction,” he said.
Hakim said that when somebody mentioned where were glasses of PM Modi, he “took off” the Prime Minister’s glasses and put them on, “which, I thought was a good move”.
“I never met him before. He made me feel at ease,” he said, adding that the Prime Minister ”automatically, immediately made me feel at ease to speak to him like a brother”. Hakim said “we all are humans and that is why give respect to each other”.


text: Hey E. Any questions are welcome. I hope i have the answer to most. The bags I use are biodegradable. I'm just now testing out how long the bags will last in the ground. I'm also testing how they will do in the Mississippi clay soil. I planted about 10 seedlings this pass weekend in the small white grow bags. I planted about 15-20 seedlings last year (not in grow bags) and the majority is still alive with out much growth. The small bags stand well on their own with the proper size tree in it. I still keep them in a normal size tray with drainage holes for organization. The high wall tray sound great for a larger tree in a smaller bag. Same for the concept for the larger trees. I haven't had a problem with any of them flopping over yet. So direct sun, the only problem I have with it is they need to watered more frequent. I have also been thinking about playing with the soil mix for those trees. Making a more water retaining mix due to the evaporation. The material seem to hold together well without any break down for the 3 years I've been using them (larger black bags). This is my first year using the small white bags and there are a wide range of sizes. I like to use these for the small bags, no certain brand. I also use 3g, 5g, 7g, and the biggest one is 15g. The larger bags are wider than tall. I'm guessing it's for stability, which I like. I haven't experimented with them over wintering in the open elements without protect. I mostly jam pack as many trees as I can in the greenhouses. The few that I put in the 15g bags this year will stay out. They will be insulated with leaves and wood chips as I've always done with the plastic pots.

Silver Plated German Style Wire - 24GA; Silver Plated Stardust Sparkle 4mm Beads; Rose, Green, and Lemon 8mm Glass Pearls
What was your inspiration?
I found these beautiful glass pearls and I knew i had to make a necklace just for me using the new technique I had learned from this class. I have just enough pearls to finish with matching earrings and bracelet.
What are you most proud of?
I'm most proud that I completed the necklace in one sitting. It is very time consuming and requires a good deal of concentration. The end product is very special to me because it is my first pearl wire wrapped necklace using the my new tools and new techniques.
What advice would you give someone starting this project?
Be patient. Don't give up. Make sure that you have all your tools out, your wire ready, and your pattern all set so you can just keep going. It may be a long process but the outcome is priceless. :)

Before purchasing a license plate recognition system, it’s essential to determine your budget. License plate recognition systems are available at a reasonable price. If you’re trying to save money, it’s crucial to consider the financial and scope of the vendor’s offerings. Value-based pricing tends to be high, and it’s vital to weigh the pros and cons before making a final decision.
While automatic systems are increasingly common, they’re still not perfect. People are concerned about privacy and the misuse of license plate records. This technology may not be as effective as you’d hope. If you’re worried about your privacy, consider the following. While it’s important to protect your identity, remember that the software is designed to identify a particular vehicle and perform a specific action. Despite this, there are still some limitations associated with license plate recognition.
The most common application of automatic license plate recognition is law enforcement. The fixed systems help read license plates 24 hours a day, whereas the mobile systems can move around to cover areas not monitored by fixed systems. Because of this, there are advantages and disadvantages of both types of systems. Most fixed systems are stationary. However, mobile systems have many benefits. Portable systems are convenient, and you can move them from one location to another.
While license plate recognition is an effective tool in traffic enforcement, it has many other applications. You can use it in access control and other limited access environments. You can use it in gated communities and the workplace. For example, it can recognize vehicles based on the license plates, which can open a gate automatically. A combination of license plate recognition and video surveillance systems can help prevent accidents and property damage.
ALPR cameras help to detect license plates
They are mobile or stationary. In addition to the potential to save time, ALPR cameras also store images of license plates. In some cases, automatic license plate recognition systems can even store the photo of the driver. The vast majority of these systems have never been used to make arrests. The data collected by this technology is indiscriminate. That means that they only collect license plates of those who are suspected of crimes. Therefore, the demand for these systems is increasing over time, and more people are considering use this technology.

Meet the beautiful people of the Circus, and the freaks who live in the Village next to them. Mangled, jangled, misunderstood, all find place in the rich tapestry of this book.
Siamese twins separate to lose half a heart each, and find snake-man and tiger-taming lovers. A man bitten by a crocodile becomes a God, and a Devadasi woos the entire countryside with her culinary artistry.
Fates intertwined lead sometimes to tragedy, sometimes happy summits of fame. A clown finds his place in Hollywood and mute animals break unspeakable chains. A twisted man falls in love with a mirror and a white man is unmade by the Indian sun.
In this book are tales for every season and every reason. Tales of human depravity that take innocent lives, and of a murderers’ insanity that follows, a fitting revenge by nature, red in tooth and claw.
These stories are told in the form of narrative poems in rhyming couplets.
Look inside and you will find, you have been to this Village. Surely, you have been to this Circus too.
If the criminal was once a saint and the saint was once a criminal, then who is a criminal and who is a saint?
Inspired by true events, this riveting narrative traces the lives of Safeena Malik, Deewan Bhat and Bilal Ahanagar, three childhood friends who grow up in an atmosphere of peace and amity in Srinagar, Kashmir, until the night of 20 January 1990 changes it all.
While Deewan is forced to flee from his home, Safeena’s mother becomes ‘collateral damage’ and Bilal has to embrace a wretched life of poverty and fear. The place they called paradise becomes a battleground and their friendship struggles when fate forces them to choose sides against their will.
Twenty years later destiny brings them to a crossroads again, when they no longer know what is right and what is wrong. While both compassion and injustice have the power to transform lives, will the three friends now choose to become sinful criminals or pacifist saints?The Tree with a Thousand Apples is a universal story of cultures, belongingness, revenge and atonement. The stylized layered format, fast-paced narration and suspenseful storytelling makes for a powerful, gripping read.

When I tapped out, I put together a little write up to dissect my feelings and motives on the matter. It's self indulgent and probably a bit egotistical, but I figured I'd share it.
So, I'm tapping out of Nano this year. I've gotten a lot done, and I intend to complete the piece, but at this point I can't push myself to 50k without causing problems elsewhere.
There's quite a few factors at play, external and otherwise. You have the usual suspects showing their faces. I couldn't help work or my ****ed up wrist. I could have used my weekend time better. I don't need to run off fishing or going out for a drink, but there's a part of me that's loathe to commit even a month entirely to one cause. Maybe it's immature lack of self-discipline, maybe it's a healthy enjoyment of actually having a social life.
But it's internally things went a bit awry. I'm not used to long writing stretches. My writing is seldom entirely fictitious, and even the parts that are mostly so are still based in some shade of reality. What happened is simple: I out-wrote my demons. I purged a lot of **** from my system. It's a good feeling, in a way, to have a clear head, but my drive was sapped. What this led to is a refusal to listen.
What I mean by this is that a story is not a dead thing. A story is alive, constantly evolving, shaping your perspective as you put it down on the page. Your characters evolve, you learn things about them beyond what was planned from the start, often beyond what seems rational from the perspective of a story teller. One may start with traits from a familiar person, but shift in uncannily organic ways into something else entirely. But there is a guiding force throughout it all. Bob Dylan, speaking of writing Like a Rolling Stone once said, "It's like a ghost is writing a song like that, it gives you the song and it goes away. You don't know what it means. Except that the ghost picked me to write the song." This is hardly a new concept. Classically it is the muse, in our modern phrasing the subconscious. And its voice is always whispering. This is where I stumbled. As I stretched myself beyond the boundaries of what I knew, I took over. I lacked the patience to wait for the story to lead me where it needed to go. Once I recognized this, the dimensionally lacking writing now just empty words instead of my veins opened on a page, I knew I had to stop, to think and reflect.
I learned a lot over half a month. Any piece of writing is certainly greater than the sum of its parts. There is a magnificent force to them, an absolute power that refuses to bend to man's will. You listen, or it dies. This is why I write. You can paint clothes onto The Last Judgment, perhaps, but even as words words are changed the message remains undying.If you want me to create, give me oak, give me steel, give me words, for these things refuse to bend to the whims of time.
I am free, no matter what rules surround me. If I find them tolerable, I tolerate them; if I find them too obnoxious, I break them. I am free because I know that I alone am morally responsible for everything I do - Robert A Heinlein

Let me cut off the links to Journey to the west that might have made sense first; The cloud and Pigsy. The story didn't need to be based on a journey to the west. Trip could have easily said "I need to journey East" and it could have been the same game. Removing the cloud is easy as it could have elongated the plat forming bit. Maybe even add in a few rope swinging bits. Pigsy is actually the hardest part to cut for this concept as he is the most awesome part about Enslaved. Trip just needs to have a friend of the family that encapsulates porcine behavior and he could easily fit right in.
Now story, plot, and setting don't need a change so this is mostly on the inspiration for Monkey. Both Tarzan and Monkey grow up to defend themselves when their parents are killed early in their childhoods. They have characteristics of apes with swinging and climbing and they learn to speak new languages with the people they meet.
Every time I see Tarzan he has a spear which makes a lot more sense when Monkey stabs robots. The collapsible part is still an innovation of technology. Tarzan meets Jane and he's there to protect her. Trip can still Enslave Monkey since it's actually part of the overall story. Trip is more a Jane than a Tripitaka, for one thing they are both females and second they get stranded with a guy who lives in the "jungle." It even makes girl meets guy more sentimental. To my amusement I would have loved to have seen Monkey do the Tarzan yell instead of "Hey."

I have a long standing love/hate relationship with the ‘variant cover’ trend in comics now that it is back in full swing. That is that I hate that I secretly love them and they make me a bit of a hypocrite when I want to rally against the speculator market and falsely inflated values of my precious precious comic books. Yes, I agree they can be cash grabs at times, but they can also be cash grabs that are damn pretty to look at when done right. Right?
Well, the continued war on my wallet fired another shot recently when DC Comics revealed 22 movie poster mash-up covers for next March over at Screenrant, BuzzFeed, /Film, IGN, HitFix, and of course the DC Comics website.
Check ’em out below, with a side by side of the real world movie poster that inspired the cover, for handy comparison:


Less than 48 hours after Fort Worth school district Superintendent Walter Dansby called it quits, his No. 2 administrator, Hank Johnson, announced Wednesday that he will retire in August.
The shake-up is expected to continue in the coming months, school board President Christene Moss said. She said others are expected to follow.
Johnson “and Mr. Dansby were very close,” Moss said.
The upheaval in the district of 83,000 students began Monday when Dansby, 63, submitted his resignation at a board meeting packed with spectators. His resignation is effective June 9.
“It was such a shock,” Moss said.
Dansby’s buyout — which includes two payments of $356,000 and $306,000 in a “retirement agreement and release” — will total as much as $892,899 when owed benefits are added, figures calculated by the district Wednesday show.
The board voted 6-3 to accept his resignation during an emotional meeting where spectators shouted “No! No!” as it was announced. Trustees Matthew Avila, Ann Sutherland, Ashley Paz, T.A. Sims, Judy Needham and Tobi Jackson voted to accept the resignation. Moss, Jacinto Ramos and Norman Robbins voted no.
Moss characterized the departure as “a divorce,” with differences that couldn’t be repaired.
She said the dysfunctional state of the school board is driving people away.
Moss, Avila and others disagree over the reasons for the disputes between Dansby and trustees.
“Dansby was the type of individual who would stand up to the board to support his staff,” Moss said. “If individuals no longer feel they have that support, they become afraid for their jobs.”
She described some board members as “bullies.”
“The board demands respect from the administration, but how can we demand respect when we don’t give respect?” Moss said. “Respect has to be earned.”
“I don’t agree with President Moss’ characterization of the state of this board,” Avila said. “I do agree that we need to hold ourselves to a high standard and hold ourselves accountable and strive to do better.”
Sutherland said, “We are functioning better recently and following board policy more carefully.”
Sutherland was censured by other board members in July over accusations that she violated district policies and the board’s code of ethics.
Jackson, Needham, Robbins and Sims declined to comment. Paz and Ramos could not be reached for comment.
But sources close to the dispute — who asked not to be named — said Dansby did not respond to board members when they asked for key information. Others called his management style heavy-handed.
Moss said employees like Johnson are tired of being micromanaged by board members. Johnson was out of the office until Monday and could not be reached for comment.
The board is expected to meet soon to announce an interim leader, Moss said.


Propelled by the live rhythms and sounds of traditional African and handmade instruments, Camille A. Brown’s ink celebrates the rituals, gestures, and traditions of the African diaspora. Highlighting themes of brotherhood, Black love, community, and resilience, the work seeks to reclaim African American narratives, and is the final installment of Brown’s dance theater trilogy about identity.
Each performance of “ink” will conclude with “The Dialogue,” a conversation moderated by CABD Company Members Timothy Edwards and Maleek Washington.
Since 2012, “The Dialogue” has become a signature of Camille A. Brown & Dancers performance experience that provides an opportunity for open discussion between the artists and audience about the work of the company. This exchange is a verbal extension of the work that creates a safe space for artists and audience members to decompress together, exchanging immediate thoughts and reactions.
The presentation of Camille A. Brown & Dancers was made possible by the New England Foundation for the Arts’ National Dance Project, with lead funding from the Doris Duke Charitable Foundation and The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation.

Dominic Raab and Priti Patel have suggested it may be time to stop users being allowed to post anonymously
The deputy prime minister has shown support for calls from the home secretary to crack down on online abuse in faced by MPs, including possible measures to eliminate the anonymity currently afforded to social media users.
Priti Patel said on Sunday that she believed further steps should be taken to protect MPs by removing anonymity from people on social media. Her comments came following the death of Conservative MP Sir David Amess who was fatally attacked at his constituency surgery on Friday. The incident is being treated as terrorism.
Patel said the government wanted to make some “big changes” through its Online Harms legislation, including a fresh look at anonymous posting and work on encryption used to keep messages private on instant messaging apps.
Justice secretary Dominic Raab – who also serves as deputy PM – said on Monday that he supported the move to remove most anonymity from social media users, provided there was “balance” to protect those who required it to keep themselves safe, such as whistleblowers and those living under oppressive regimes.
“The elephant in the room in all this is the online hate that we all get, it’s out of control,” he told Sky News. “I know the Home Secretary has talked about what more she wants to do there and the Online Harms Bill is going through pre-legislative scrutiny. There is certainly an element of more people who are at-risk and vulnerable because they’ve been spending more time online. I’m absolutely confident that intelligence services and the police are monitoring that with maximum energy and vigour.”
He added: “What you don’t want to do is send a message to tyrants all over the world that they can expose people who are campaigning bravely and need that anonymity. Equally, we know that some of those campaigning are vulnerable and do not want to be in the public domain. I don’t see why people should be able to abuse the position on social media from a veil of anonymity.”
The issue of the online anonymity has come under increasing scrutiny in Westminster in recent years – particularly as the government has set out its online harms agenda, and the oft-stated aim of making the UK “the safest place in the world to be online”.
Although ministers have publicly recognised the challenges created by the anonymity of many users of online platforms, they have also often cited the importance of allowing some to remain anonymous.
In a written parliamentary question posed in late 2019, then MP for Dudley North Ian Austin directly asked the government whether it intended to “bring forward legislative proposals to prevent people from establishing anonymous profiles on Twitter”.
In response, then digital minister Matt Warman said that “companies need to take responsibility for tackling abusive behaviour on their services, including taking steps to limit anonymised users abusing their services”.
“However, online anonymity is an important principle of a free and open internet and there are many legitimate reasons why an individual would not wish to identify themselves online – including to protect whistle-blowers and empower victims of modern slavery and domestic and sexual abuse,” he added. “Globally, anonymity can be especially important for allowing human rights defenders and journalists to operate, especially within authoritarian regimes, without fear of undue reprisal and detention.”
This week, Raab said that online abuse and harassment against MPs had increased significantly since he was elected in 2010. He said that in the last two years he had received three credible threats to his life or safety.
“When you’re in a frontline job you’ll get more of it, but I’ve had three threats to life and limb that have required intervention in the last two years,” he told the BBC’s Today programme. “This is not entirely out of the blue because we had Jo Cox before, we had the case of Stephen Timms, but everyone has had this experience of intensifying abuse and that tipping into threats.”
Other measures, such as police or security guards attending MPs surgeries have also been suggested since the killing of Amess, but Raab said any new arrangements must not drive a “wedge” between elected officials and the public.
“We’re all conscious that as we try and make sure we’ve got that connection of trust with our constituents and our communities, which all MPs across the divide want to rally around and cherish and nurture,” he said. “I think everyone has a real nervousness and concern and the forces are already doing this – local forces need to sit down with them and see what they can do to provide the concrete security but also what will give them reassurance and peace of mind. We’re not going to be much good for our constituents if we’re not confident going into those meetings and we’re all looking over our shoulder with trepidation.”

SIR ALLWELL IHUNDA URGES ELIGIBLE VOTERS IN PORT HARCOURT TO VOTE FOR SIR SIM FUBARA AND ALL CANDIDATES OF THE PDP FOR HOUSE OF ASSEMBLY
_15th March 2023_
_Says the PDP will remain magnanimous in victory_
Mayor of Port Harcourt City, Sir Allwell Ihunda has urged eligible voters in the LGA to vote massively for Candidates of the PDP in this weekend’s Governorship and state house of Assembly elections.
The Mayor remarked this at the flag-off ceremony for the construction of an ultramodern market in Oroworukwo community.
He said the Governor of Rivers State, Chief Nyesom Ezenwo Wike has done so much for the people of Port Harcourt and the only way the people can thank him is to ensure that PDP records a landslide victory on Saturday.
He said the PDP has remained the dominant party in Port Harcourt because the party had always remained magnanimous in victory and the projected victory on Saturday will not be an exception.
Sir Allwell Ihunda said a victory for the PDP candidates will ensure consolidation and continuity of the impactful administration of Gov Nyesom Ezenwo Wike.
He promised that after the victory of Sir Siminialayi Fubara and Hon.Solomon Wami on Saturday,he will personally return to the community to thank them and also consolidate on the gains of his administration in the community.
While describing the project, the Director of Works in the Council, Engr. Charles Chigozie Nnaji said the new market will be a one storey building, housing several shops fitted with state of the art facilities.
In their separate goodwill messages, two prominent indigenes of the community, Elder Ichenwo and Chief. Nwogu Okabie thanked the Mayor for the kind gesture and pledged the commitment of the people to support the PDP in Saturday’s election.
The Mayor went on to lay the foundation stone for the building and promised that the ultramodern market will be completed in July 2023.
In the same vein Sir Allwell Ihunda commissioned Solar panel lights in Anume, Wachukwu, Okwu and Chief Chinwo Streets in PHALGA Ward 3, also in Ede and Ngwor Street in PHALGA Ward 2.
He thanked the people for turning out in their numbers to receive him and urged them to come out on Saturday and vote massively for Amaopu-Senibo Siminialayi Fubara and Hon. Solomon Wami, the PDP Governorship Candidate and State House of Assembly Candidate for PHALGA State Constituency 1 respectively.

A new direction for Antarctic ice cores: reconstructing Pacific decadal variability and Australian drought history from the Law Dome ice core
Decadal scale SST oscillations in the Pacific significantly influence rainfall variability and drought risk across and beyond the Pacific region. Understanding long-term decadal SST behavior in the Pacific is necessary to assess past and future climate, particularly drought risk. However, short instrumental records through much of the Pacific region, in particular the South Pacific, make such assessments difficult. A new reconstruction of Pacific decadal variability covering the last millennium has been produced from the Law Dome ice core, a high snow accumulation site in East Antarctica. The Law Dome ice core samples (at sub-annual resolution) a broad mid-latitude swathe of the Indian and South West Pacific region. This region exhibits wind speed and direction anomalies that are coherent with the phase of the Interdecadal Pacific Oscillation (IPO), an index measuring the decadal-scale Pacific SST state. This is the first millennial length IPO reconstruction and is based on the annual accumulation (snowfall) and sub-annual sea salt (wind proxy) records from Law Dome.
To demonstrate the versatility of this new IPO reconstruction, we used it to explore drought history in eastern Australia, a region where drought risk is elevated during IPO positive phases. To do this, we super-imposed the 1000 year IPO reconstruction on a Law Dome proxy for eastern Australian rainfall (previously shown to represent rainfall with high significance during IPO positive phases (r =0.406-0.677, p <0.0001-0.01). Eight 'mega-droughts' (dry periods >5 years duration) were identified over the last millennium. Six mega-droughts occurred between AD 1000-1320 including one 39 y drought (AD 1174-1212).Water resources and infrastructure planning in Australia has been based on very limited statistical certainty around drought risk due to the short (100 year) instrumental record and lack of rainfall proxies. This study shows that, similar to SW North America, Australia also experienced mega-droughts during the medieval period. Knowledge of the occurrence, duration and frequency of such mega-droughts will greatly improve drought risk assessment in Australia. Importantly, this new IPO reconstruction will help with assessing climate risk over the longer term in the wider Pacific Basin, particularly in the data-sparse Southern Hemisphere. In addition, the hydrological application of producing an annually dated drought record to calculate long-term drought risk represents a new use of Antarctic ice core records.

Taking good care of this home and taking time to customize it to their family, the owners have completed four remodel projects with Castle.
In 2018, after this family had already added a 2nd story addition, remodeled their kitchen, and converted the dining room closet into a wet bar, they decided it was time to remodel their basement.
Finishing a portion of the basement to make a living room and giving the home an additional bathroom allows for the family and guests to have more personal space. With every project, solid oak woodwork has been installed, classic countertops and traditional tile selected, and glass knobs used.
Where the finished basement area meets the utility room, Castle designed a barn door, so the cat will never be locked out of its litter box.
Overall, this home is suited not only to the home’s original character; it is also suited to house the owners’ family for a lifetime.
This home will be featured on the 2019 Castle Home Tour, September 28 – 29th. Showcased projects include their kitchen, wet bar, and basement. Not on tour is a second-floor addition including a master suite.

After a recent performance at Joe's Pub in New York City, last year's queer holiday hit We Three Lizas is back with a revamped book and expanded score. Box maker Conrad Ticklebottom's life has hit a stumbling block. At one time, his purple box sparked an entire movement in art and design, but now he's been forgotten and teetering on ruin. Just in the nick of time, the holidays bring three magical figures to his door -- a trio of Liza Minnellis -- to escort him on a fabulous journey through what-was, what-could-be and what-the-heck, redeeming his lost promise and reinventing a brand new Conrad Ticklebottom.

I like Porchlight very much - they do a great job in a small space. I found some of the words hard to understand in this production, however - music too loud? my ear not ready for the words? It is clever and good to look at...keep up the good work!
From the creators of Assassins comes this exploration of the painful westernization of Japan as told through the story of two friends caught in the inevitable winds of change. Mixing elements of Kabuki theater with the conventions of the Broadway musical, this is considered by many to be the artistic pinnacle of the legendary Sondheim/Prince collaborations.

Speed Of African Swallow
|We’ve moved on from Prestel (RFC1149) to HTTP/1.0, HTTP/1.1 and finally moved to HTTP/2.|
This is the biggest step-change since moving off RFC1149. In a nutshell,
- It's secure by default. (SSL only, so no snoopers charter)
- It's faster (binary, pre-push, multiplexed)
We all know before we should start using something we should wait till version 3. - I think we’ll make an exception in this case!
Now we just need to wait till everyone’s favorite webserver (Nginx) supports HTTP2 (currently it supports HTTP2’s prototype: SPDY 3.1).
It will also be interesting to see how Google’s PageSpeed Module adapts to HTTP2 as quite a few of the inlining optimisations are no longer required.
Given HTTP has been around for 20+ years now, it’s done very well to bootstrap the world into using common agreed interchange formats (mainly by keeping things very simple).
In the next 20 years we’re likely to see the rise of the decentralised internet, one depending much more heavily on peer-to-peer for caching at the edge. One such effort is IPFS which is taking the GIT-like content addressable direction (I.e. a file’s key is its hash). | | Almost all project management focuses on one project rather than the n competing projects. I understand at this larger level it’s called ‘program management’. http://www.artofmanliness.com/2013/12/03/beyond-sissy-resilience-on-becoming-antifragile/tags:


The cable car line, dubbed “The Wings of Tatev,” is the world’s longest reversible aerial tramway, allowing tourists and visitors to bypass a grueling 90-minute drive on a dilapidated road in and out of the rocky Vorotan River Gorge.
The tramway’s director, Tigran Ghazaryan, spoke to reporters Tuesday about the Monastery’s recent influx of tourists, underscoring that in 40 days, from October 23 to December 1, the tramway has carried 7,000 people to Tatev. 30% of those visitors, he noted, have been tourists.
Since it began operation on October 16, the Monastery has experienced a boom in tourism, with the number of visitors to the area doubling compared to the same months in 2009, according to Syuzanna Azoyan, the Director of Programs at the Armenian Tourism Development Agency, who was with Ghazaryan.
“I would like to stress that we expect a sharp growth in the number of visits in 2011, as the world’s longest reversible passenger aerial tramway is a separate source for tourism,” she told reporters. “Tourists arrive in Armenia only to see the reversible passenger aerial tramway, which is unique by its length.”
The ropeway has also created 30 new jobs in the area, including 29 for residents of neighboring villages, Azoyan said, adding that the average salary of employees working on the tramway is 100,000 AMD a month (roughly $360).
The reversible cable car line was constructed by the Swedish-Austrian Garaventa Doppelmaye Group. It cost 18 million dollars to construct, with much of the funding coming from private donations, according to the National Competitiveness Foundation of Armenia, which oversaw the project through its Tatev Revival Project.
The cable car travels at a speed of 37 kilometers per hour (23 miles per hour) and a one-way journey takes 11 minutes. At its highest point over the gorge, the car travels 320 meters (1,056 feet) above ground level.
It has two cabins, each capable of carrying up to 25 passengers. Local residents will be able to ride the cable car for free while others will have to pay 3,000 Armenian drams (eight dollars/six euros.)
A two-way ticket on the tramway costs 3,000 AMD ($8.30), while a one-way ride costs 2000 AMD ($5.50). Residents of the villages surrounding Tatev can enjoy the tramway once a day for free.
The cable car is part of a 50-million-dollar (36-million-euro) public-private effort to develop tourism at Tatev and in the overall region of Syunik, one of the traditional 15 provinces of the ancient Kingdom of Armenia.
The Tatev Revival Project will leverage the monastic and touristic significance of the complex to develop the region into an attractive destination nestled in a prospering local community.
The project consists of several components: conserving the monastery, reviving its monastic and scholarly traditions, and developing tourism in the adjacent river gorge and six local communities. A hotel chain will be developed in the area to accommodate tourists visiting the region.

HOUSTON — When old man Kobe Bryant neared the end of Sunday night's NBA All-Star Game at the Toyota Center, it had long since been established that this would not be among the many vintage performances of his 15 times on this stage.
The way it finished, on the other hand, was vintage Kobe in every way.
The Los Angeles Lakers star and one of the best closers the game has ever seen wanted to play that part on the defensive end this time, welcoming the chance to guard the Miami Heat's LeBron James down the stretch of the Western Conference's 143-138 win. So he hounded him as if it were a game of any real consequence, swiping his jumper from atop the key with 2:39 left to help the West go up 10.
WINNER: How Michael Jordan owned weekend
Two minutes later, the finish to this game and this week was so fitting for one of sports' most-maniacal competitors. Bryant kept up with James' long strides on the break from one end of the floor to another, riding his right hip as if he were the sidecar of a sputtering motorcycle. James, who spent the week hearing comparisons between himself, Michael Jordan and Bryant on the most annoying of loops, planted his right foot for a left-side runner and had his shot swatted off the courtside cameras that were there to capture moments like these.
Bryant, the All-Star game's all-time leading scorer may have finished with just nine points, eight assists and four rebounds, and Clippers point guard Chris Paul may have been the deserving MVP, but 34-year-old Bryant helped hold James to 0-for-4 shooting in the final quarter and had himself yet another memory for the long and storied career.

BAD DAY: Chris Bosh underwhelms as starter
To the surprise of no one, James said he wasn't surprised to see Bryant guarding him at the end of the game.
"No, he does it all the time," James said. "I am absolutely not surprised. It was all in good spirit. It was just two guys who love to compete, (who) love to go at it. It was a lot of fun."
One legend whose legacy is already set, against another whose has so much more room to grow still.
"It's fun to be out there with them," New York Knicks forward Carmelo Anthony said of James and Bryant. "It's fun to see. It brings the best out of everybody, as you can see…I love that competitive spirit, that competitive nature in Kobe and LeBron."

Blind voters express concerns about NM voting machines
Audio level an issue, voter says
Some blind voters said the new machines the state is using will make it tough for them on Election Day.
Curtis Chong is blind. Like many New Mexicans, he’ll be using one of the new voting machines, which were designed to help blind voters cast their ballots. He said the new machines could actually make voting more difficult.
“What was going through my mind is I would have an incredibly difficult time to vote, and I was not looking forward to the experience,” Chong said.
Chong said the sound on the machine is tough to hear, and it’s not easy to navigate through. His concern is that blind voters will get frustrated and give up.
“I’m a determined person. I’m going to stick to it until I’m done, but it took me 30 minutes to do this the last time,” Chong said.
The machines are replacing ones roughly 10 years old. They were first used in the June Primary election.
The state said it’s heard the concerns and it’s working to address them. The machines have undergone some changes since the primary; officials have increase the audio level and unclogged the print jets to make the ballots easier to read.

Eponymic plants in Nicander of Colophon and Pliny the Elder: Alcibius’ herb
Humboldt University of Berlin (Germany, Berlin)
Keywords: Nicander of Colophon, Pliny the Elder, Alcibius, eponyms, primus inventor, names of plants
Abstract: The article analyzes information about the plant(s), named after an otherwise unknown mythological character Alcibius, which are found in Theriaka of Nicander of Colophon and in the Natural History of Pliny the Elder. The bulk of the two passages in Nicander (regarding Ἀλκιβίου ἔχις Ther. 541–549 and Ἀλκιβίοιο ποίη 666–675 respectively) consists of detailed etiological excurses, each telling about how the plant was found by Alcibius. Whether the plant is the same one in both cases, remains a subject of controversy. As for Pliny, he makes no mention of Alcibius as an eponym, but he nevertheless mentions two plants, names of wich very likely refer to this mythological figure: archebion (NH 22.51), whose external description overlaps in large part with the first account in Nicander, and alcibium (22.39), for which Pliny gives no description, but only a recipe — just like Nicander does in the second passage. Thus, the way Pliny arranges his information reflects the structure of both Nicandrian places. The example of Alcibius’ plants, in the author’s opinion, supports the hypothesis that Pliny was directly familiar with the poems of Nicander and also illustrates the methods of organizing the material in the medical books of Naturalis Historia. The article also contains a list of eponymic plants referred to in the corpus of Nicander’s works, with corresponding places in Pliny’s encyclopedia.

How did this happen? How is it even possible? What happened to the little baby I once knew? I can’t believe he’s gone, replaced by the little boy I’m watching play in the yard.
Today is your birthday. You are five years old. The fact that you are so big makes me weepy and your constant insistence that you don’t need me and can do things on your own makes my emotion worse. Please don’t mistake my melancholy as something negative. Truthfully, I’m glad you are growing up. You should be. I’d be worried if you weren’t. But still, I can’t help but look at you today and feel tears form in my eyes.
Right now you are running and playing. RUNNING AND PLAYING! I know you don’t understand what is special about that, but I do. I have memories you do not; memories you were too little to keep. I remember a child different than the one you are now. I remember a little boy who was physically weak and unable to sit, crawl, and walk like other little ones his age. I remember watching time pass in agony and fear. Your peers grew and you did not. At three years old you were in 18 month old cloths. While others were developing and turning into toddlers, you stayed very much a baby. While other moms were talking about what food to introduce next, I was still trying to get you to hold down breast milk. While other kids were sleeping, you were screaming. While other kids were learning to walk, you still had yet to crawl. Nothing for you was easy. Eventually, even breathing became hard.
Now I look at you and see a physically average five year old playing in size 5T cloths. It’s a simple little thing, but the beauty in it overwhelms me. Because while you might look average on the outside, your journey to get there is nothing short of extraordinary. You are extraordinary. You have no way to know at your age what exactly you have accomplished. But to the adult world around you, your achievements are too great to be ignored. You see, while grown ups seem so smart and wise, the truth is we are not. We are all a bunch of five year olds….that grew up. We don’t have all the answers. We often don’t understand the world around us. To us, life can seem harsh and unfair and it can make us feel lost and afraid. Just like when we were five years old, we still don’t always know what to do. So we look to our own parents, teachers and friends for the answers. This can be scary when we become a mommy and a daddy because we want to have the answers for our kids. But, sometimes answers simply don’t exist. I desperately want to be able to tell you why you are different and why you are in pain. I want to have the answers that will lead us to a cure. I want to help you. I want to heal you. I want to feel less lost and afraid when it comes to your Dystonia. I want to have the answers that I so desperately seek yet can’t find. But, as I watch you pick up your little brother who just fell down and kiss his elbow for the third time in ten minutes it is clear to me that it is you. You are the answer. You have been all along.
Life sucks sometimes. It can be cruel and unfair. While I’ve been trying to figure out what to do, you’ve been busy doing it. You love. You laugh…sometimes for no reason. You are kind even when the world is not. You push through adversity and you never quit. You keep trying even when it means you fail over and over again. You are strong, you are brave, you are courage and you are fearless. You are everything I strive to be. So know that when life gets hard and you turn to me for strength, I will only be retuning to you the strength you’ve given me. When you are grown up and feel lost, know the answers you seek, lies within yourself. If you feel lost and don’t know where to look, I pray you will look back and remember yourself right now at five years old. Because right now you are wise and you know the answers are simple. The answers are filled with positivity, perseverance and love. Please remember that age and experience do not always equate to wisdom.
When memories fade and you can’t remember yourself at five then please don’t fault me for not having the answers. I hope you too look out in your own back yard and talk to your children. They will know what to do. They will know how to keep trying. They will know how to love you in a way you never knew you needed. They will know about forgiveness and empathy. You have taught me that so many of life’s answers are both found and left in our youth. As many more birthdays pass, I pray you keep a little piece of how you are now. Because at five years old, you are incredible. I love you more than you could ever know. Thank you for all the joy and love you bring me, and for showing me light when life has felt dark. I am proud and honoured to be your mommy.
Happy Birthday sweetheart. I love you.

Greenwashing is a constant problem when you go shopping for eco friendly products. So many product claims have no legal definition. Fortunately, the FTC is in the process of changing that. They’ve proposed revisions to their “Green Guides” that help marketers avoid making misleading environmental claims.
Can I say about time?!
These guidelines haven’t been updated since 1998. A lot has changed since then in the marketing of eco friendly products.
There’s a comment period open until December 10, 2010, after which the FTC will make the final decision.
So what are the changes proposed?
The revised Guides caution marketers not to make blanket, general claims that a product is â€œenvironmentally friendlyâ€ or â€œeco-friendlyâ€ because the FTCâ€™s consumer perception study confirms that such claims are likely to suggest that the product has specific and far-reaching environmental benefits. Very few products, if any, have all the attributes consumers seem to perceive from such claims, making these claims nearly impossible to substantiate.
The proposed Guides also caution marketers not to use unqualified certifications or seals of approval â€“ those that do not specify the basis for the certification. The Guides more prominently state that unqualified product certifications and seals of approval likely constitute general environmental benefit claims, and they advise marketers that the qualifications they apply to certifications or seals should be clear, prominent, and specific.
Next, the proposed revised Guides advise marketers how consumers are likely to understand certain environmental claims, including that a product is degradable, compostable, or â€œfree ofâ€ a particular substance. For example, if a marketer claims that a product that is thrown in the trash is â€œdegradable,â€ it should decompose in a â€œreasonably short period of timeâ€ â€“ no more than one year.
They’re looking for comments on any of the changes, so if you have thoughts, now is the time to share them.
These changes won’t cover everything. That’s really not a surprise. It’s hard to come up with a good definition for “natural” for example, that could never be used in a misleading way, as it so often is now. I expect that it’s going to continue to be wildly abused since it’s not going to be regulated. Such an easy claim to make, too.
The rules in general may not be terribly specific, but environmental claims are hard to define in general. Hopefully these new guidelines will encourage more use of concrete evidence of claims made. In other industries such as weight loss, claims must be proven, but that’s more difficultÂ when it comes to the environment and we don’t always know the full impact of what we’re doing.
These guidelines aren’t law, but they do give the FTC a basis for declaring claims to be deceptive or unfair. They can order companies to cease and desist making claims that aren’t reasonable to make, or fine them if they violate the cease and desist. It’s not perfect, but it’s a step in the right direction.
But it’s still going to be up to consumers to pay attention and spot the greenwashing claims. These new guidelines should help, but they aren’t going to solve the problem.


In Europe, politicians are pushing European carmakers to keep new electric offerings coming, and the Germans are sick and tired of being told that Tesla has outclassed them with their high-performance sedans. In this environment, Audi has come out swinging with the fully electric E-Tron GT, based on a platform that’s shared with the upcoming Porsche Taycan.
The design of the E-Tron GT concept is nothing less than stunning; really, this is what an RS7 should look like (but doesn’t). It’s 195.3 inches long, 77.1 inches wide and just 54.3 inches tall – its proportions are extreme, and so are the details. The head- and taillights boast the latest LED and laser technology, there is an “inverted” closed grille, a full panoramic glass roof, and it sits on 22-inch alloys shod with 285/30 rubber. Instead of fake exhausts, there is a brutally styled rear diffusor.
The good news is that almost all of it will carry over to the production model. When it comes to market, the hood, which serves as an aero element on the concept, will be closed, and the 22-inch wheels will be replaced with 21-inch rims. You will be able to replace the glass roof with a carbon-fiber roof. Beyond that, the concept is reality. And to us, it looks more exciting than the soft-edged Porsce Taycan, its closely related sister model.
The power is transmitted to all four wheels through a one-speed transmission, and torque vectoring functions optimize traction and corner turn-in. With its 800-volt system, Audi promises at least 250 miles of range, probably more. Push it hard, and that figure could shrink to below 200 miles. That’s still a tough pill to swallow, but the E-Tron GT will have access to a fast-charging network that is shared with the Porsche Taycan – and will leave Tesla’s superchargers in the dust.
Escorted by two motorcycle cops and a Q7, we finish our exhilarating 45-minute drive wondering what role a car like this will play in the future of individual mobility. In our rapidly electrifying present, the upcoming Audi E-Tron GT has a good chance of taking a top spot among the competition – and of giving the Porsche Taycan a good run for the money.
