We already share photos and videos with one another to stay connected. What if we applied the same idea to music? Every person has a “soundtrack” for their life. The tunes we love are such a huge part of who we are. So why not use social networking to link up with people from all over the world with the same tastes as ours? A current IndieGogo campaign seeks to do just that by helping you define your “mDNA” type. By taking your playlists and using algorithms to compare to other individuals, you can get friend suggestions that are more in line with the person you are. (And you’ll probably discover some cool new music in the process.)
The songs you listen to comprise your mDNA strand, and the closer in similarity it is to another person, the more beautiful the friendship (theoretically). What we really like about the platform from Holding Pattern founder Nick Arnold is that it could open up exposure for indies and regional talents and take power away from the record companies, placing it directly in the hands of the artist. Furthermore, you can integrate with other social media platforms to discover new friends via those connections. And since we’ve already got quite a bit of info about our musical tastes out there, it shouldn’t be hard to build a detailed profile quickly.
So if you’re not sure what your mDNA is, it’s time to find out.

WITH THE ASSISTANCE OF JONATHAN SWIFT TEMPLE, Sir William.
An Introduction to the History of England …
First edition. Newly arrived in England from Trinity College, Dublin, Swift in 1689 entered upon a ten-year period as secretary to Sir William Temple at Moor Park near Farnham in Surrey. ‘Partly thanks to Swift’s support several of Temple’s important works were published in the 1690s, notably the second part of his Miscellanea ... and … his Introduction to the History of England.’ (Oxford DNB). As usual with works by Temple printed in Swift’s time, the manuscript sent to the press was in Swift’s hand, a copy of the original incorporating Temple’s corrections (Elias, pp. 4-5). Temple in turn ‘helped his young protégé with the revision of the Tale of a Tub’.
MARIVAUX, Pierre Carlet de Chamblain de.
Le Paysan parvenu: or, the fortunate Peasant. Being Memoirs of the Life of Mr. ––––. Translated from the French … London: Printed for John Brindley … Charles Corbett … and Richard Wellington … 1735.
First edition in English, originally published in French in the Hague in 1734-5. This is the second of the two important novels by Marivaux, which broke new ground in the art of writing fiction. ‘Where La Vie de Marianne belongs to the moralizing and sentimental romance tradition, Le Paysan is a cynical comic novel of the way of the world, though both stories are full of subtle psychological observations. The tale is told in later life by the unashamed and good-humoured hero Jacob, who has risen from his peasant origins to a wealthy and respectable position as a tax-farmer thanks to his resourceful wit and his physical attractions. He profits amorally from the affections of a series of (usually older) women, some of them with reputations for piety; these adventures are recounted in a spirited style, with a sharp eye for the hypocrisy of the respectable’ (New Oxford Companion to Literature in French).

The office of Human Life International’s (HLI) European Regional Director Joannes Bucher was recently attacked after a pro-life march in Austria.
The HLI office in Salzburg, Austria suffered seven broken windows, causing thousands of dollars in damage.
HLI’s Austria Director Dietmar Fischer spoke to Gloria.tv about the incident, saying that local media coverage has mostly ignored the attack against HLI, known for promoting pro-life and family values.
“Imagine the howling of the press if it were pro-lifers who smashed the windows of an abortion mill,” Mr. Fischer.
Mr. Fischer himself is the subject of persecution for his pro-life activism by a judge in Graz, Austria who ruled against him and his colleagues for supposedly “stalking” a known abortionist. He is facing a $10,000 fine or three months in jail for providing pro-life materials to sidewalk counselors in Graz. The case is currently under appeal.
According to Gloria.tv, during a recent “Thousand Cross March” in Salzburg, almost 50 law enforcement officers were necessary to, “protect the life marchers from a violence-prone group of abortion activists, many of whom shielded their identities by wearing black masks.”
The abortion activists carried a banner depicting the HLI logo inside of a condom which read, “Prevent forced reproduction. Abortion on demand for everyone!”
The HLI office was attacked soon after the march, and was witnessed by bystanders.
“The police report affirms that witnesses saw seven offenders dressed in black, wearing masks to hide their identities, and one wearing white hand gloves,” the news report states.
“It is a grave injustice that HLI’s pro-life missionaries are the subject of such attacks around the world simply for spreading the world about the truth of abortion,” said HLI Interim President Monsignor Ignacio Barreiro-Carambula. “We will not allow these acts of violence to intimidate us from spreading God’s word on the dignity of human life.”

Charlie Saurin, Frank Henderson, Oscar Traynor and Boss Shields lived on the north side of Dublin in 1916.
The Scrap follows them through the week of the Easter Rising – from their F Company base in Fairview, where they fought one of the first skirmishes with the British, and into the centre of Dublin, where they were involved in increasingly bloody fighting.
Using highly personal documents from the Bureau of Military History, the story is one of gripping detail, as we follow F Company into the GPO and see icons of Irish history as the rank and file Volunteers saw them.
From there to the panic and pain of Moore Street, where the leaders began to consider surrender, and some of the members of F Company faced the ultimate test.
Observing the rank and file Volunteers as they faced a turning point in history, The Scrap is full of the dramatic, funny and contradictory detail of ordinary men and women dealing with extraordinary events.

Standing My Ground: The Autobiography
by Brendan Cummins
Brendan Cummins has made more senior hurling championship appearances than any other player in the history of hurling. In an era which produced such brilliant goalkeeping talents as Davy Fitzgerald, Donal Óg Cusack, and Damien Fitzhenry many would argue that Cummins has earned the right to be considered the greatest of them all.
From his debut for Tipperary in November, 1993, Cummins went on to play at the top of the inter-county game for 19 consecutive championship seasons. He won two All Ireland senior hurling championships, five Munster championships and four League titles – and has won five All Star awards.
From fearless shot-stopping to pin-point accuracy on his puck-outs, Cummins was unrivalled for the consistency of his performances, a consistency underpinned by a sometimes punishing physical commitment, mental discipline and great attention to detail. He was the rock upon which Tipperary built their team under many managers and changes of personnel.
Brendan Cummins story is the story of Tipperary hurling over the last two decades. The ups and downs. The dramas. The characters. From his first senior years under Len Gaynor to his final games under Eamon O’Shea, Cummins has seen it all. Standing My Ground is a remarkable account of an extraordinary career.
A Slanting of the Sun: Stories
by Donal Ryan
An old man looks into the fearful eyes of a burglar left to guard him while his brother is beaten; an Irish priest in a war-torn Syrian town teaches its young men the art of hurling; the driver of a car which crashed, killing a teenage girl, forges a connection with the girl’s mother; a squad of broken friends assemble to take revenge on a rapist; a young man sets off on his morning run, reflecting on the ruins of his relationship, but all is not as it seems.
Donal Ryan’s short stories pick up where his acclaimed novels The Spinning Heart and The Thing About December left off, dealing with the human cost of loneliness, isolation and displacement. Sometimes this is present in the ordinary, the mundane; sometimes it is triggered by a fateful encounter or a tragic decision. At the heart of these stories, crucially, is how people are drawn to each other and cling on to love, often in desperate circumstances.
In haunting and often startling prose, Donal Ryan has captured the brutal beauty of the human heart in all its hopes and failings.

North American markets retreat; tech, crypto stocks fall sharply
Canada's main stock index fell Friday, part of a broad-based retreat that also affected U.S. markets and brought with it significant losses in technology and cryptocurrency stocks.
The S&P/TSX composite index closed down 153.99 points at 20,111.38.
In New York, the Dow Jones industrial average closed down 292.30 points at 33,706.74. The S&P 500 index was down 55.26 points at 4,228.48, while the Nasdaq composite closed down 260.12 points at 12,705.22.
The risk-off sentiment affected growth sectors the most. The S&P/TSX capped information technology index slid 3.29 per cent on the day, and losses in the mining sector also drove the capped materials index down 1.56 per cent.
Cryptocurrencies fell broadly as Bitcoin slumped 8.5 per cent to $21,434, according to CoinDesk. Toronto-based crypto miner Hut 8 Mining Corp. slid 14 per cent Friday.
The slump put an end to what had been a strong run for equities in the past five weeks, though it's still unclear whether Friday's selloff is indicative of more significant storm clouds ahead.
"It's always better in hindsight, but we've had a really, really solid move in the last month-and-a-half in stock markets. It seems like it's a reasonable spot for some level of consolidation here over the next couple of weeks," said Mike Archibald, vice-president and portfolio manager with AGF Investments.
Markets have been rallying in recent weeks on investor sentiment that perhaps the most heavy-handed interest rate hikes by central bankers are over, Archibald said. It's not clear that's the case, however -- minutes of the U.S. Federal Reserve's July meeting released this week said inflation is still is too high and made clear the central bank will keep raising interest rates.
Many analysts still expect the U.S. Federal Reserve to announce a 50 or even 75-basis point increase at its next rate announcement in September. Archibald said all eyes will be on the Fed's meeting in Jackson Hole, Wyo. next week to see if Chair Jerome Powell makes any comments that might indicate which way the central bank is leaning.
"We should get a little bit more clarity on that over the coming week, and that should determine whether this (market retreat) is a shallow pullback, or if we're in for something a little more serious," he said.
Concerns about inflation and the health of the global economy intensified Friday as new economic data out of Germany showed producer prices in Europe's largest economy saw the biggest increase on record in July.
That news made investors jittery, and immediately sent German bond yields higher. North American bond yields quickly followed suit.
"We are seeing a really solid move higher in bond yields here today -- up almost 10 basis points depending on what market you're looking at," Archibald said. (A basis point is one-hundredth of a percentage point.)
Markets are also watching closely to see what impact inflation is having on consumer spending. Statistics Canada said Friday that Canadian retail sales increased 1.1 per cent to $63.1 billion in June, boosted by higher sales at gasoline stations and motor vehicle and parts dealers.
However, the agency said its preliminary estimate for July suggests retail sales for that month fell 2.0 per cent, though it cautioned the figure would be revised.
The Canadian dollar traded for 76.98 cents US compared with 77.35 cents US on Thursday.
The October crude oil contract was up 33 cents at US$90.44 per barrel and the September natural gas contract was up 15 cents at US$9.34 per mmBTU (million British Thermal Unit).
The December gold contract was down US$8.30 at US$1,762.90 an ounce and the September copper contract was up three cents at US$3.66 a pound.
This report by The Canadian Press was first published Aug. 19, 2022.
CTVNews.ca wants to hear from Canadians who are taking steps to mitigate rising prices amid a higher inflation rate.
If you live in an apartment, then you've more than likely felt the effects of the dramatically increased rental rates in Canada. Personal finance contributor Christopher Liew explores some of the key factors contributing to the increased rental prices in Canada, along with some of the things that Canadians are doing to cope with the current market.
About a quarter of Canadians are losing confidence in the stock market and are now looking to cash out their investments, a new survey has found.
Canada is headed for a 'severe' and 'almost inevitable' recession in early 2023, according to the head of economics at Macquarie Group, which states Canada will face an approximately three per cent contraction in gross domestic product and a five per cent rise in its unemployment rate during the predicted recession.
Financial TikTok – or FinTok – has become one of the most popular trends on the platform, and is emerging as a go-to resource for Gen Z and millennial audiences looking to learn how to invest, budget or even spend more wisely.
As the cost of living continues to rise and pay gaps persist, there is a growing desire for more open discussions around earnings, something experts argue could help ensure everyone is being compensated fairly.
When it comes to uncomfortable conversations, matters of inheritance may be near the top of the list. But as the cost of living rises and the generational wage gap grows wider, experts say it is now more important than ever to open up that dialogue.
Canadian employers are anticipating the highest salary increase in two decades as they try to balance inflationary pressures, surging interest rates, recession risks and a tight labour market, a new survey has found.


text: A baby-boomer memoir more articulate than universal; by the author of City Children, Country Summer (1979). This book began as an essay for Texas Monthly about Wright's childhood years in Dallas, and therein lies the rub. Of Dallas politics and lifestyles, Wright writes with perception (""The prevailing ethic in the city was not hard work but high risk"") and sparkle (his portrayal of LBJ braving ferocious mobs of right-wing socialites during the 1960 presidential campaign is gripping); but his Dallas lies at such a political extreme, and early on he concentrates so much on those Dallas politics that his book begins with a parochialism from which it never fully recovers. Still, a vivid account of that indelible moment when 16-year-old Wright learned of JFK's death, and of the days of national mourning that followed, shimmer with recognition. But as Wright moves on to his college days in New Orleans, his wrestling with the draft and the Vietnam War (he eventually served as a conscientious objector at an American school in Egypt), and his perceptions of the political movements of the 70's and 80's, he falls far short of offering a life-map by which others of his generation can check their own odysseys. Although brilliant analyses of presidents--and Wright's reaction to them--abound, his frequent reference to his Dallas roots makes this more the story of a Texan than that of a generic American; and, more crucially, in his emphasis on politics Wright largely ignores huge, telling chunks of his generation's shared history. Any baby-boomer memoir that makes no mention of Woodstock (or the epiphany of the moon-walk, for that matter) leaves a gaping hole; and only the shortest shrift is given to the cultural tides--from psychedelia to spiritualism to mass-media worship--that exerted as much, if not more, influence on Wright's generation than did the political tenor. A limited barometer, then, of the baby-boomers' past; but still a compelling, smooth, and memorable personal memoir in its own right.

Here’s our idea on how Miami International Airport can solve multiple issues it faces in a single shot, helping to improve the passenger experience.
We love MIA for its convenient location and incredible lineup of flights to North America, South America and Europe. That said, the facility leaves much to be desired. Many of these issues stem for poor planning and design. They include:
How to solve these problems: Aviation officials are now considering developing a 400-room hotel in three possible locations on airport grounds, either through a public-private partnership or by issuing bonds.
Instead, the airport should consider building a grand Hong Kong-style check-in, baggage claim, and retail hall, on underutilized land in front of the Central Terminal currently occupied by short term parking. The new building should also include both the hotel and enough retail space that a private developer could partially or completely fund construction of the entire space.
The new facility would help shorten and break up long walks with baggage from the MIC, since check in and baggage claim would be right at the entrance to the MIA Mover train station. Car traffic could also be redesigned and better engineered for drop off at the new building.
New retail, terminal, and lounge space could be built in the area freed up from the existing check in area. TSA checkpoints could be redesigned properly within the new building or in existing space. And of course, the new hotel could get built too.
A modern new facility might also result in cheerier airport workers and better maintenance.
Unknown is whether the retail and hotel expansion would be enough for a private developer to entirely fund the new facility, but even if not it could be a worthy project.
Miami has as bright a future as any city in America, and deserves an airport to match. Regardless of what happens with this development, lets stop the haphazard piecemeal planning at MIA and start thinking big for the future – including real expansion of terminal space.

The migration situation could change in the Western Balkans thanks to decisions made at a European Union migration conference in Vienna, European Commissioner for Neighbourhood and Enlargement Olivér Várhelyi said on Tuesday.
Várhelyi told Hungarian public media after attending the conference that decisions had been made about ways to stop illegal migration, including border protection and returning illegal migrants to their country of origin.
“We increased EU resources allocated in the budget for the Western Balkans by 60 percent, to 355 million euros, in order to support this process and make the tide change in migration, and to make it clear that there is no future for illegal migrants and human smugglers,” he said.
The International centre for Migration Policy Development has held its annual conference in Vienna for the sixth time. All the events focused on the migratory pressure on Europe and this year the participants discussed ways to build and strengthen “migration partnerships” with Europe’s neighbours.

Bidadari Island resort is a small island to the West of Labuanbajo, Flores, which is in the Lesser Sundas province, East of Bali
The name Indonesia has its roots in two Greek words: “Indos” meaning Indian and “Nesos” which means islands. It is an appropriate description of the archipelago as there are estimated to be a total of 17,508 islands, of which only about 6,000 are inhabited, stretching for 5,150 km between the Australian and Asian continental mainland’s and dividing the Pacific and Indian Oceans at the Equator. Five main islands and 30 smaller archipelagoes are home to the majority of the population.
The main islands are Sumatra (473,6O6 sq.km), Kalimantan 1539,400 sq.km), Sulawesi l 189,216 sq. km), Irian Jaya (421,981 sq. km), and last but not least Java (132,187 sq.km), home to 70 percent of the country’s population. Indonesia shares Irian Jaya with Papua New Guinea and two thirds of the island of Kalimantan with Malaysia and Borneo.
The islands and people of Indonesia constitute the fourth most populated nation in the world. As a democratic republic, Indonesia is divided into 32 provinces, special territories and classified geographically into four groups.
First are the Greater Sundas, made up of the larger islands of Sumatra, Java, Kalimantan and Sulawesi.
Second are the Lesser Sundas, consisting of smaller islands from Bali eastward to Timor.
Third is Maluku which includes all the islands between Irian Jaya and Sulawesi.

[Amazon Web Services (AWS) is the world’s most popular provider of public cloud services. Whether it’s simple database storage or something more complex like analytics and search, AWS provides users across the globe with the right tools and services to build the right applications for them.
Best of all, their reach is about to get even wider, with new data centres set to open in South Africa. Read on as we discuss the plans for AWS expansion.
AWS availability zones
AWS is hosted in a number of regions across the world, spread out across Europe, Asia, the US and South America. Each region is split into Availability Zones, with a total of 55 AWS Availability Zones currently in use around the world. Each of these zones is backed by at least one of its own physical data centres, with five data centres backing the largest.
Essentially, by splitting each region into several separately backed zones, they reduce the chance of two zones failing at the same time.
New availability zones
Amazon has now announced plans for three more Availability Zones in the new Africa (Cape Town) region. The infrastructure will be opened in the first half of 2020, along with another 12 Availability Zones across the Bahrain, Hong Kong, Sweden and GovCloud (US) regions.
“Having built the original version of Amazon EC2 in our Cape Town development center 14 years ago, and with thousands of African companies using AWS for years, we’ve been able to witness first-hand the technical talent and potential in Africa,” explained AWS CEO, Andy Jassy. “Technology has the opportunity to transform lives and economies across Africa and we’re excited about AWS and the Cloud being a meaningful part of that transformation.”

This bill, sponsored by Sen. Bob Nonini (R-Post Falls) could create major instability in the teaching profession in Idaho and create inconsistencies from school to school and teacher to teacher. SB 1248 would allow charter schools to use whatever contracts they choose, rather than the contract approved by the State Superintendent. All three education stakeholder groups, as well as several charter schools, have testified against this bill, but legislators are turning a deaf ear to the counsel of those who know best and have plowed ahead with this ill-advised plan.
Continuing contracts and fair employment practices are at grave risk if this legislation passes. Collective bargaining has helped ensure the rights of professional educators and consistency in the relationship between teachers and schools. A free-for-all system would be detrimental to teachers, schools, and students.
Democrats Blast Education Funding Plan
Idaho Democrats issued a news release that criticized the Joint Finance and Appropriations Committee’s K-12 public education budget. The Dems took issue with the plan to backfill the education budget with “trailer bills”, with the budget falling short of both the 7.5% increase requested by Superintendent Ybarra and the 7.9% increase proposed by Governor Otter, and an “undercutting” of professional development for teachers.
JFAC approved a 6.8% increase in education funding, with the hope that “trailer bills” related to an early literacy initiative and leadership premiums for teachers will make their way through the legislature before the end of the session. Idaho Education News has more on the Democrat’s release about the education budget.
Meanwhile, Republican Leaders Praise Education Funding
In a briefing with the Idaho Press Club, Senate Pro-Tem Brent Hill and House Speaker Scott Bedke both complimented the legislature for their work on the education budget. Bedke said the budget represents a “continuing commitment” to education funding, in particular to the priority of funding the Career Ladder and restoring operational funding.


Take-Two Interactive registers domain related to Red Dead Online
Take-Two Interactive registered domain of http://reddead.online, related to what would be the multiplayer mode of a new Red Dead series, similar to the strategy made with Grand Theft Auto Online of Grand Theft Auto V.
The announcement of a new release of Red Dead saga is expected these days. On the last Sunday Rockstar updated its image on all social networks with a logo and the distinctive red background which already intimated the return of the series. Yesterday an illustration left no doubt, showing the outline of what would be the band of John Marston, which would confirm the rumors that it will be a prequel.
Red Dead Redemption was released in 2010 for Xbox 360 and PlayStation, and it is the most successful series of Rockstar behind Grand Theft Auto, having already sold 14 million copies of this successful game.
In the last year there was some rumors about the possible announcement of a third installment of the saga, from an image published by an artist who worked at Rockstar San Diego, until the filtration of the supposed map of a new Read Dead.
Whenever Rockstar was asked for the future of this brand, they have replied that it is one of its most important series, and we will see new installments in the future.
For several months now, players of the Xbox One have been enjoying Red Dead Redemption thanks to the backwards compatibility with Xbox 360. And from this past week, users of PlayStation 4 can download from PSN the first installment of the saga, Red Dead Revolver, which was launched in 2004 for Xbox and PS2.

There are many reasons you might want to crate train your new Scottie puppy. A crate can be invaluable while you are potty-training or teaching your dog the rules of the house. Crates are a great way to transport your Scottie, and they can serve as a safe place for your pup to escape to once they come to accept it as their space.
When away from home your Scottie's crate
will provide security and familiarity.
Unfortunately, even though dogs are den animals and they like having an area that’s all theirs, most won’t automatically take to crates — and your pup can even come to fear them if you don’t handle crate training in the right way.
The good thing is that puppies don’t have any preconceived notions about anything. As long as you follow the below tips, your new Scottie puppy should come to love their crate and may even start
going into it on their own when they want to rest or relax.
Don't be fooled by your Scottie's size, they are less timid than some other breeds. They have independent natures, which means that you may both have a different idea about the use of crates. You must remember that you are the boss of your household, not them! Be firm! Once your Scottie puppy knows that you are in charge and there are rules to learn they will happily comply. They are not naughty.... they just want to be in charge!
1. Introduce their crate casually The worst way you can introduce your puppy to the idea of a crate is to bring it home and lock your puppy inside it immediately. People don’t like being trapped against their will, and neither do dogs. Instead, you should initially treat the crate like it’s just another piece of furniture — but one that they can enjoy. At night time, I put their crate in a confined space (inside a playpen) you might use or small room like the laundry. I have a nice soft blanket in the crate for sleeping and newspaper over the floor outside of the crate. This way I can leave the door of the crate open for puppy to sleep in crate and come out at any time during the night to relieve themselves on the paper. Once puppy is not toileting through the night you can close the crate door at night time (I find this can be anywhere from 4 to 6 mths old) then you will not need the playpen or paper any more. If your puppy refuses to go into the crate you can encourage them to check it out by placing favorite foods and toys near and inside the crate. The ultimate goal is to get them comfortable with going inside, and this is something that could take days. Be patient with the process. I use treats as a reward when they have gone into the crate, they soon get the idea that if they jump into the crate when asked, they will receive a reward.
2. I Use the crate for meal time After puppy is willing to enter the crate, your next goal is to get them comfortable with staying inside for extended lengths of time. One of the best ways to do this (and create a positive association with the crate) is to start putting their food in the crate. I find this is especially useful when you have more than one dog as they have their own space for eating and there is no stealing anyone else's tucker! Some dogs may not be willing to do this, though, so you can start with the food just inside the crate and slowly move it back with successive meals. They will quickly get the idea and start jumping into their crate as soon as you appear with their bowl.
3. Close the door
As soon as your dog is eating their meals while standing all the way inside the crate, it’s time to close the door. After they are done eating that first time, open the door immediately. You’ll leave them in longer and longer with each meal, adding just a few minutes every time. It’s possible that your dog may whine. If this happens, open the crate immediately and don’t leave them in as long next time. However, if they whine again, wait until they stop before letting them out or you will teach them that whining equals open door.
4. Extend crate time
Once your dog is hanging out in their closed crate without signs of stress, it’s time to lengthen their stay. Use a favorite toy or treat to encourage them to enter the crate, then close it. Hang out by the crate for several minutes, then go into a different room for a few minutes so they get used to the idea of staying in the crate alone. When you return, don’t open the crate immediately. Instead, sit with them again for a few more minutes and then open the door. Keep increasing the time as you do this until your dog is able to stay in the locked crate for half an hour without your presence. When they are able to do this, they are ready for you to leave them for short periods and possibly even sleep in the closed crate overnight. Make sure you keep the crate relatively nearby for overnight stays though. Puppies usually need to go to the bathroom overnight and you’ll want to be able to let them out. I find that puppies are not really able to last the entire night without a toilet break until they are about 5 to 6 months old.
5. Leaving and returning The key here is to make crating seem completely normal and avoid excitement. Encourage your puppy to get into the crate and praise them when they do so, but keep it brief. When you come home, stay low-key and ignore any excited behavior that they show. Once they have given up their excited behaviour then give them your greeting when they are calm and quiet.

Study: Tailored Solar Geoengineering Could Combat Global Warming
October 23, 2012 9:37 AM
comment(s) - last by
Solar geoengineering involves techniques like creating low-altitude marine clouds or increasing the aerosol concentrations in the stratosphere
Much like tailoring different articles of clothing to match the weather, a new study suggests customizing solar geoengineering to compliment the needs of different regions in an effort to combat global warming.
Solar geoengineering is a method of fighting global warming by reflecting sunlight back into space. Solar geoengineering involves techniques like creating low-altitude marine clouds or increasing the
aerosol concentrations in the stratosphere
A group of researchers from the California Institute of Technology, the Carnegie Institution for Science and the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) have created a study that shows how tailored solar geoengineering can help certain regions fight global warming as needed rather than a uniform method of solar geoengineering -- which could negatively affect weather in certain areas.
Some are opposed to solar geoengineering because it can
affect weather around the world
. For instance, greenhouse gases suppress precipitation, and reflecting a certain amount of sunlight back into space would not restore this precipitation. Greenhouse gases and aerosols affect Earth's heat and rain in different areas in different ways. With limited sunlight, everything could change and have dramatic consequences.
But that's where tailored solar geoengineering comes in. Different regions would only receive the amount of reflection needed to keep weather stable, yet reduce causes of global warming. The researchers used a model to predict how this would work, and found that reflecting sunlight away from the Earth based on region and season could help
fight global warming
without seriously affecting weather.
"There has been a lot of loose talk about region-specific climate modification," said the study. "By contrast, our research uses a more systematic approach to understand how geoengineering might be used to limit a specific impact. We found that tailored solar geoengineering might limit Arctic sea ice loss with several times less total solar shading than would be needed in a uniform case."
However, the researchers did add that solar radiation management could produce uncertain outcomes.

global - warming?
10/23/2012 12:01:41 PM
We are already "experimenting" with localized solar modifications. Look at the roofs of residential buildings (dark colored and sloped to pick up the maximum heat in the winter), roads - asphalt, car colors (how many white cars do you see vs black?). The bottom line is we do everyting we can to reduce the solar reflection and increase the absorbtion -conversion of radiation to heat.
I am NOT saying this is the cause of global warming... but if you believe in AGW - then this is more likely to be incrementally impacting the avg temperature than the accumulation of CO2.
If clouds reflecting will have a measurable effect - then dark man made items will have a similiar meausrable effect.

The U.S. government released a statement last week that hackers have targeted election systems throughout the country.
The Department of Homeland Security confirmed systems, such as registration databases, in more than 20 states showed suspicious activity. The DHS believes whoever did this was trying to find vulnerabilities “to cause confusion and chaos.” At the time of writing, confirmed breaches have occurred only in Illinois and Arizona.
While most voting devices are offline, intelligence officials fear these hackers could try to influence the upcoming November election in some way, such as removing data or committing voter fraud.
The Current Voting System
According to the Help America Vote Act of 2002, all voters’ registration information, such as address and date of birth, must be saved on one centralized server by the state. However, no matter how private and protected it is, having one server invites attacks by hackers who see this as a simple single target. All the information is right there for them to steal.
Additionally, across the country, officials and voters are concerned about voter fraud. Some states are even making it a requirement that a voter must present a specific type of identification before they vote. And there’s no guarantee that that person’s ID is valid.
Ethereum Can Be the Solution
Elections are too important to act carelessly and ignore potential weaknesses. The government needs to offer better protection and implement better security measures. And that security is Ethereum and its blockchain.
The Ethereum network is a blockchain, or public ledger, that records every transaction executed through the technology. Like Bitcoin, it timestamps and tracks the movement of each individual Ether. But Ethereum operates on another level than Bitcoin. It can transact and maintain information that cannot be manipulated.
Ethereum Cannot Be Tampered
Currently, the biggest problem seems to be protecting voter registration information. By implementing Ethereum and its technology into the voting system, no one can engineer election results to their benefit. On a state or even federal level, voters would submit their information into a Dapp or smart contract dedicated to elections only. The Dapp itself would evaluate all the information received during the registration process to verify voter identity. All of their information would be available, but it will be encrypted or hashed within the blockchain, making unauthorized access or manipulation of voter data a nearly impossible task. The information that would remain public are the voter’s address and activity on the blockchain.
The main feature of the blockchain is that the public record of transactions can never be removed or altered. Once something is placed on the blockchain, it stays there forever. If someone intends to eradicate or manipulate data, they will have no way of doing so unless they gain enough computing power over the decentralized network to cause a 51% attack and reverse all transactions made on the blockchain. This, however, is very unlikely to happen and can easily be detected, allowing governing institutions the ability to address the issue before an outcome is announced.
Ethereum Is Public and Transparent
The transparency of the blockchain would present honest election results in real time. There would be an electronic address, or public key, which corresponds to each voter, and this would be the voter’s identity during the election. When they vote, their address would appear on the blockchain along with the outcome of the vote. This method would help prevent voter fraud on many levels such as duplicated voting, unregistered voting, ineligible voting, and most importantly the manipulation of the vote itself.
The same goes for the number of votes. Officials keep a record of the total number of voters registered in their state or county. By having the results displayed in real time, they can see if the numbers are deceptive. Let’s say one county has a total of 35000 registered voters. When the results are tallied, the number jumps to 37000 and those additional 2000 votes lean towards one party. With Ethereum, these misleading and fraudulent votes can be easily spotted and stopped. Officials can quickly react and take the proper steps to restore confidence in the election.
Ethereum Is Decentralized
With a decentralized network like Ethereum, voters’ data will not be stored in just one place, but will be housed throughout a network of computers. Each node in the network verifies its information against the entirety of the network, making it nearly impossible to corrupt the data or restrict access to the data as a whole.
While this technology will immensely change how we vote, it will likely not be implemented any time soon. It would be easier to adopt Ethereum. However, the government is focusing on updating decades-old machines instead.


Copyright and Rights in Databases Regulations: The prospect of selling digital content has made the EU Directive on the Legal Protection of Databases a vital piece of legislation for all sectors of the publishing, advertising and audio-visual industries. The Directive is due to be implemented by the UK by January 1 1998. A draft Statutory Instrument – ‘The Copyright and Rights in Databases Regulations 1997’ – has now been published together with a Consultative Document. From the implementation of the directive, databases will be treated as a literary work for copyright purposes and a new 15 year ‘database right’ will be created. The Government is aiming to meet the January 1 1998 deadline and hopes to lay the Regulations before Parliament in November. So now is the time to assess the Regulations’ practical implications for your business (including their effect on the sale or purchase of digital content and terms and conditions of its use). This will be one of our featured topics in our November update.
New PACT/MU Agreement: the new PACT (Producers Alliance for Cinema and Television)/MU (Musicians Union) Agreement (which governs the inclusion of the music of MU members in production) is in force as of Monday 13 October 1997. The agreement introduces an increase in fees for musicians and a re-structuring of rights packages for producers. Notwithstanding this, there is an agreement between PACT and the MU that if arrangements have been put in place with fixers prior to 13 October but recording takes place after this date, then the terms of the pre-existing (October 1993 revised February 1996) Agreement can apply. Fixers are asked to notify the MU of any such productions and PACT members are asked to notify PIRS (Producers Industrial Relations Services) accordingly.
UK Government gets connected: the UK government has announced plans for a new web site which will enable government transactions to be conducted electronically (eventually including the payment of taxes, television licences and passport applications). The system, which is to be unveiled in its initial form in November, will allow electronic signatures to authorise payments. The aim is to have 25% of government business conducted electronically by 2002.
The government also has plans to link every school to an Internet-based ‘national grid for learning’ within five years. The scheme will equip Britain’s 32,000 schools with computers and provide for high-speed connections to the grid and low call charges. It is expected that the grid will also act as a showcase for the UK’s educational software industry.
Liability for Club Committees: a recent case has emphasised the vulnerability of committee members acting as trustees for the club’s members. (Marston Thompson & Evershed PLC -v- Bend and others).
Four trustees of a rugby club signed a mortgage of the club’s property that was held in their names as trustees. The club failed to pay off the debt and the trustees were informed that they were personally liable for the debt. The court held that they were indeed personally liable. To avoid personal exposure, an express statement is required that they have limited liability.
Therefore club trustees should always ensure that when they enter into a contract on behalf of their club, the contract contain a proviso limiting their liability to the total club assets under their control (from time to time). It should also deny creditors any right to sue them personally for any shortfall. If this is not possible, the trustees should obtain an indemnity from all the members of the club (or its management committee).
Advocate-General supports same rights for same-sex couples: The Advocate-General of the European Court of Justice (ECJ) has issued his opinion in the case of Grant -v- South West Trains (SWT). He has accepted Lisa Grant’s argument that her employer, SWT, has discriminated against her on the grounds of her gender by refusing her female partner the same travel benefits routinely accorded to heterosexual partners. The Advocate-General decided that SWT’s policy amounted to sexual discrimination because it fell foul of the requirement for men and women to receive equal pay for equal work; had Lisa Grant been a male employee living with a woman, her effective pay – taking into account the travel benefits – would have been higher.
The ECJ does not have to follow this opinion when it gives its full decision (expected at the end of the year) but its record shows that it does so in 85% of cases.

AVIATION LAW AFTER SEPTEMBER 11TH introduces the topic of aviation law with a particular emphasis on the subject post-September 11, 2001. Formatted as a traditional law school course book, the book presents the major tensions in the commercial and general aviation marketplace: consumer protection versus the corporate bottom-line; regulation versus deregulation; private enterprise and positive government; price versus convenience; liberty and privacy interests versus national security; internationalism versus nationalism; democracy versus terror; and fundamentally, life and death. With new content about "drones," AVIATION LAW AFTER SEPTEMBER 11TH is segmented into six chapters-aviation travel rights, deregulation and federal preemption, aviation economics, labor and management, aviation security, and accidents-and provides detailed end-of-chapter notes and problems for further study.

The Principles and Practice of International Aviation Law provides an introduction to, and demystification of, the private and public dimensions of international aviation law. Unlike other global sectors, the air transport industry is not governed by a discrete area of the law but rather by a series of disparate transnational regulatory instruments. Everything from the routes that an international air carrier can serve to the acquisition of its fleet and its liability to passengers and shippers for incidents arising from its operations can be the object of bilateral and multilateral treaties that represent diverse and often contradictory interests. Beneath this multilayered treaty infrastructure are hundreds of domestic regulatory regimes that also apply national and international rules in disparate ways. The result is an agglomeration of legal cultures that can leave even experienced lawyers and academics perplexed. By combining classical doctrinal analysis with insights from newer disciplines such as international relations and economics, the book maps international aviation law's complex terrain for new and veteran observers alike.

TL;DR Baidu's TTS system now supports multi-speaker conditioning, and can learn new speakers with very little data (a la LyreBird). I'm really excited about the recent influx of neural-net TTS systems, but all of the them seem to be too slow for real time dialog, or not publicly available, or both. Hoping that one of them gets a high quality open-source implementation soon!

While creator Oren Peli remains the name most readily associated with the Paranormal Activity series, it’s actually Christopher Landon who’s been more actively involved with guiding the franchise. Having written every installment since Paranormal Activity 2, he’s now handed the directorial reins for this supposed spin-off which, in actual fact, is not so much tied to the other films as leashed with a choke chain.
Unsurprisingly, Landon’s work behind the camera suggests that he’s watched a lot of found-footage flicks, allowing him to effectively ape what’s come before without ever threatening to break the mold. Apparently, emulation is the aim here rather than innovation. Perhaps no other horror brand has adopted such a shamelessly McDonald’s-like approach to its notion of a “franchise.” What The Marked Ones delivers is ostensibly comfort chills and familiar shocks to unadventurous consumers who want to know precisely what type of terror they’ll be subjected to.
Rather hypocritically, Landon opens his film with a high school commencement speech extolling the virtues of change. Subsequently adjourning to their two-story apartment block in the Latino neighborhood of Oxnard, Calif., for the summer, fresh-faced graduates Jesse (Andrew Jacobs) and Hector (Jorge Diaz) tellingly fall back into old habits. Whether engaging in Jackass-ery, getting high or cajoling Jesse’s grandmother (Renée Victor) into downing tequila shots, they film everything with a handheld video camera. While these scenes may lack for major incidents, they do succeed in making these friends unexpectedly endearing fodder.
Residing below the boys is a living, breathing urban legend named Anna (Gloria Sandoval) who’s been labelled a “bruja” (witch) by the neighborhood kids. When the recluse is brutally murdered, Jesse and Hector break into her squalid apartment and indulge in some sub-Scooby Doo detective work. What seems a bad idea proves just that when they discover an archive of VHS tapes labeled with extremely familiar names and a nursery stocked with decidedly unsterile surgical tools.
A large part of the appeal and effectiveness of Peli’s original film was watching the uncanny happenings unfold in the unassuming confines of a suburban home. Alas, seeing creepy stuff go down in a house of horrors proves considerably less unsettling. Likewise, there’s nothing particularly jarring about employing the same scare tactics ad nauseam. In short order, it becomes readily apparent that any time the boys’ inquisitive camera pans right to find nothing, it’ll drift back to the left to discover some supernatural nastiness lying in wait.
After waking with an odd bite mark on his arm, Jesse starts manifesting superhuman abilities that briefly see the film trespassing into Chronicle-indebted territory. That said, The Marked Ones is considerably stronger when lifting from proven commodities than it is when trafficking in its own half-baked ideas. Nothing screams “the cupboard is bare” in terms of inspiration more desperately than hearing the supposedly creepy electronic beeps of a possessed Milton Bradley electronic Simon game that’s laughably become a makeshift Ouija board.
The efforts of Hector and Jesse’s sister, Marisol (Gabrielle Walsh), to banish the demonic presence that’s tormenting and transforming their loved one ultimately entangles them in the poorly spun yarn that constitutes Paranormal Activity’s sorry excuse for a mythology. As The Marked Ones lurches into its final stages, locations and characters from the preceding chapters make appearances, allowing viewers who’ve slogged through every installment to take immense satisfaction in exclaiming, “Oh my god! That’s that house from the other one of these things!”
As the climax plays out in said house from the other one of these things, it becomes apparent that the film’s most terrifying moment actually occurred some time earlier when it was suggested that Jesse’s ordeal was also being endured by countless other teenaged boys. Initially seeming like a throwaway line of dialogue, the statement increasingly comes to feel like the announcement of a franchisor’s global expansion strategy. At this stage, nothing on screen can equal the dread that arises at the very thought of Euro Paranormal Activity.

Cardozo's Civil Rights Clinic is a live client clinic in which students primarily litigate civil rights cases in federal district and appellate courts. The work of the clinic focuses on the intersection between civil rights and the criminal justice system, such as cases challenging unconstitutional conditions in jails and prisons or police brutality. Students in the clinic also have the opportunity to engage in other projects addressing the issues affecting our client population.
The United States now has less than five percent of the world’s population, but more than a quarter of the world’s prisoners – 2.3 million people. Today, more than one in every 100 adults lives in jail or prison. This mass incarceration has led in many instances to unconstitutional conditions of confinement, poor medical and mental health treatment, and violence. Additionally, as recent news and judicial decisions have highlighted, law enforcement sometimes engage in practices, such as stop and frisk, that are invasive of privacy rights or are discriminatory. Students in this clinic will have a real opportunity to confront the injustices of this system and make a significant difference in the lives of their clients.
In cases before the federal courts, students may have the opportunity to develop and investigate new cases, interview and counsel clients, draft pleadings, conduct discovery (including taking and defending depositions), negotiate settlements, draft briefs, appear in court at pretrial conferences, hearings and oral argument and to conduct trials. Students perform all aspects of their client's representation together with a student-colleague and under the intensive supervision of the professor, a practicing attorney and full-time member of the Cardozo clinical faculty.
In addition to casework, the clinic includes a seminar component with a curriculum designed to complement and deepen students’ other clinic work. Seminar classes address some of the substantive and procedural law governing federal civil rights actions, as well as many of the lawyering skills and competencies important to litigation. They also address the ethical issues that typically arise in civil rights litigation and concerns that arise in the representation of incarcerated individuals.


A mining pit that collapsed at Nsuta near Prestea in the Prestea/Huni-Valley District in the Western Region last Sunday, trapping about 22 illegal miners to death, has been covered.
The move followed a directive by the Minister of Lands and Natural Resources, Mr John Peter Amewu, to the rescuers on the site to halt any further search for possible survivors, six days after the incident.
Speaking to the Daily Graphic, the District Police Commander, Superintendent (Supt) Mr Atsu Dzineku, said a team from the Minerals Commission, Golden Star Mining Company and Rodeshow Ltd, led by Mining Superintendent, Mr Omani Frimpong, carried out the exercise to cover the mining pit and other open spaces that could pose a threat to people and the environment. The exercise lasted about five hours.
Last Sunday evening, 14 illegal small-scale (galamsey) miners at Nsuta were trapped in a mining pit which caved in.
The death toll is said to have risen to 22.
About five of their colleagues, however, escaped the tragedy.
They were Mamfi Kofi Mensah, 47; Richard Koomson, 33; Nafew Iddrisu, 21; Limann Soglo, 29; and Ernest Akambi.
The identities of nine of those believed to have been trapped to death were given by the police as Kwabena Amidu, 25; Yaw Gyan Richard, 26; Ibrahim Majeed, 20; Alidu Salifu 25; Kojo Kanda, 27.
The names of others were given only as Osumanu, 26; Zakaria, 25; Abu, 24; and Hakeem, 25.
The identities of the additional eight are yet to be established but the police said the family members had confirmed to them that they had lost their relatives.
The police received the report about 10:35p.m. and indicated that a rescue team was working to save the possible survivors of the tragedy.
The pit, believed to be about 80 metres deep, was said to have collapsed after a downpour when the illegal miners were returning to take their supper.
According to a source close to the survivors, they were mining 80 metres deep in the pit but they decided to come out to find food to eat.
While coming out, they heard some noise and realised that two pits had caved in, trapping those who were deep in the pit.
Fortunately for them, the source said, because some of the illegal miners were close to the surface of the pit, they managed to escape the tragedy.
The collapse of the mining pit is one of the major disasters that have occurred since the Media Coalition Against Galamsey joined the fight against illegal mining this year.
On Friday, June 30 this year, the coalition and the National Commission for Civic Education (NCCE) organised a town hall meeting at Manso Nkwanta in the Amansie West District in the Ashanti Region to draw attention to the menace of illegal mining.
The coalition and its partners decided to fight illegal mining not only because of its effects on the environment and water bodies but also the risk that the galamsey operators were exposed to.
These include health hazards associated with their exposure to mercury and the dangers of loss of lives associated with collapsed illegal pits.


This fine half-acre lot on the far side of West End, the island’s hub of luxury, offers a rare chance to combine modernity and tradition in a spacious and privileged setting.
The land is located on the edge of the main road linking West End Pond with Blolly Ham Bay, making access to the power grid and other services relatively easy. This property is ideal for a potential buyer looking to develop a private home with rental potential.
The perimeter of the parcel is lined by a historic stonewall built in traditional West Indian stile and still standing in decent condition. The ground is safe from flooding and moderate height would provide any structure with an enviable view. Asking price: US $145,000.
*The adjacent one-acre lot north of this one is also available for sale, as are the coastal parcels #200 & #203. As such, the full 3.9 acres from the sea to the road could be turned into a staggering commercial development.
- Acreage: 0.5 acres

Ten teenagers were among the 39 people found dead in a refrigerated trailer in Essex last month, police have confirmed.
Essex Police on Friday released the names of the 31 men and eight women whose bodies were found in an industrial park in Grays on 23 October, after confirming on Thursday they were all Vietnamese nationals.
The youngest two were just 15-years-old and the oldest was 44-years-old.
DNA from families who believed their relatives were victims was used to identify many of them.
Assistant Chief Constable Tim Smith said: “This was an incredibly important process and our team has been working hard to bring answers to worried families who fear their loved one may be among those whose tragic journey ended on our shores.
“Our priority has been to identify the victims, to preserve the dignity of those who have died and to support the victims’ friends and families.
“It remained of paramount importance to us to ensure that an individual’s next of kin were informed, and that they were given some time to absorb this tragic news before we publicly confirmed their loved one’s identity.
“We have worked closely with the National Crime Agency, the Foreign and Commonwealth Office, and the Vietnamese Authorities to identify and locate their families.”
The driver of the lorry, Maurice Robinson, 25, of Craigavon, Northern Ireland, has been charged with 39 counts of manslaughter, conspiracy to traffic people, and money laundering.
The trailer had come from Zeebrugge in Belgium but the 39 victims’ routes from Vietnam have not yet been revealed.
