Fossil fuel companies will waste billions of dollars in investment if they make the “strategic mistake” of ignoring growing momentum for climate solutions, the International Energy Agency’s chief economist told a major climate change conference in Paris last week.
“Any energy company in the world, whatever they do—oil, gas, renewables, efficiency, coal—climate policies will impact their business,” said Fatih Birol, who’s slated to take over as IEA executive director in September.
“If they think that their businesses are immune to the impacts of climate policy, they are making a strategic mistake.”
Energy companies must pay closer attention to climate policies “in order not to make the wrong investment decisions, in terms of making the investment decisions which may not bring the right returns, or in terms of missing investment opportunities,” Birol continued. “Without solving the carbon [emissions] in the energy sector, we have no chance to solve the climate change problem.”
Citing Carbon Tracker, The Guardian notes that more than US$1 trillion in oil investments and US$280 billion in natural gas projects “would be left uneconomic if the world’s governments succeed in their pledge to limit global warming to 2C.” Earlier this year, the G20 nations said the total value of stranded assets could be as high as $6 trillion.
Although Birol expressed optimism about recent efforts to address climate change, The Guardian cites Prof. Ottmar Edenhofer, chief economist at the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research, warning of a “global coal renaissance” centred in developing countries. “Even if technology to capture and store carbon on a large scale is developed, two-thirds of all coal resources and a third of all oil and gas would have to be kept in the ground to limit climate change to 2Cº,” Carrington writes. “Without carbon capture and storage, 90% of coal and two-thirds of oil and gas would have to remain buried.”
Edenhofer called for a global price on carbon, commenting that “as a Catholic, I believe in miracles, but I do not rely on them.”


Honda is in the forefront of car companies praising the push for higher standards.
John Mendel (pictured), executive VP of Sales for American Honda, said Thursday that his company has "actively worked with" President Obama and his team to develop new national fuel economy and greenhouse gas-emissions standards.
"Honda embraces this challenge," he said.
Everyday people will benefit if the new rules make it.
“Whether you’re a commuter in a compact car or a sportsman who needs a pickup truck, every American deserves to access to the most fuel-efficient, technologically advanced vehicles that save them money, cut pollution and deliver great performance,” Larry Schweiger, president and CEO of the National Wildlife Federation, said Thursday.
“These rules are an important step toward reducing our billion-dollar-a-day addiction to imported oil, money that stronger fuel-efficiency standards will keep at home to invest in job creation here in America.”
There is a fly in the ointment. The 2012 Interior and Environment Appropriations bill under study by the U.S. House of Representatives could block or stall the agreement on new fuel-efficiency standards. The rider is just one of many political attacks on wildlife, air, water and public health in the bill, Schweiger said.
But there is a bright spot. “A broad range of interests – from automakers to unions to conservationists – has come together behind these new rules,” Schweiger said.
“The technology is ready, the standards are achievable, and poll after poll shows the American people strongly support getting the job done. We all benefit from robust standards to cut our oil dependence, create American jobs and protect wildlife and public health, and we stand ready to defend these gains from extremist, politically motivated attacks.”
The new standards would raise car fuel-efficiency standards 5% each year between 2017 and 2025, while trucks would need to achieve a per-annum gain of 3.5% between 2017 and 2021 and 5% between 2022 and 2025.
“These standards will bring us vehicles that work in the out of doors and for the outdoors at once, at a time when fuel economy improvements are already happening in vehicles of all kinds. A 2011 Ford F-150 pickup truck is 21 percent more fuel-efficient than the same model just six years ago – and at the same time, it’s significantly more powerful, with 50 percent more horsepower and more torque,” said Zoe Lipman, the National Wildlife Federation’s senior manager for transportation and global warming solutions.
“A driver who trades in a 2005 for a 2011 is effectively cutting 75 cents off the cost of every gallon at today’s prices and saving $700 a year on gas, according to the Environmental Protection Agency.”
Support for better standards also comes from 114 U.S. economists who include Stanford economist Kenneth Arrow, a 1972 Nobel Prize winner. Last month the economists asked the EPA, National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and California Air Resources Board to elevate pollution and fuel-efficiency standards for new cars and trucks sold in the future.
Advocates of more stringent rules also include Michelle Robinson, director of the Washington-based Union of Concerned Scientists' Clean Vehicles program.
"The Union of Concerned Scientists considers this a positive milestone on the road to strong vehicle and fuel-efficiency standards," Robinson said.
The proposal being pushed by politicians is to increase average fuel efficiency from just over 34 mpg by 2016 to almost 55 mpg by 2025. The proposed standards are expected to come out in September.

"The cook plays the violin."
Translation:De kok bespeelt de viool.
Why is it sometimes "speelt" and other times "bespeelt"? What's the difference?
- spelen = to play a game, the skill of playing an instrument, the act of playing an instrument (not linking to a specific instrument/object (my violin, the piano over there), but the type of instrument (the violin)
- bespelen = to play an instrument, the act of playing an instrument (you could say playing/influencing a specific instrument/object e.g. the violin one is holding now), to manipulate someone
To use "bespelen" one needs to link to a specific instrument/object, to use "spelen" one normally refers to the type of instrument, compare the sentences below:
- zij speelt viool - she plays the violin/she can play the violin (the skill)
- zij is viool aan het spelen - she is playing the violin (the act of playing)
- zij bespeelt de viool/zij is de viool aan het bespelen - she is playing the violin (the act of playing)
- zij bespeelt de onschuldige vrouw - she is manipulating the innocent woman (I think in English one can say "play someone like a violin")

American University men's basketball head coach Mike Brennan announced the first two members of his coaching staff for this upcoming season. AU Director of Basketball Operations, Matt Wolff, and former Georgetown University Director of Operations, Scott Greenman, were appointed assistant coaches.
"I am excited to announce that Matt Wolff and Scott Greenman are joining our coaching staff," said Brennan. "Matt and Scott were terrific athletes at Boston University and Princeton, respectively. Both bring a tremendous amount of experience with them and will help build a strong and successful men's basketball program here at AU."
Wolff spent three seasons on the Eagles staff under former head coach Jeff Jones, handling the day-to-day operations of the basketball office, including film exchange and breakdown, team travel, on-campus recruiting and team camps.
"Matt has already played a pivotal role at AU, helping complete our 2013 recruiting class by securing a fourth commitment," said Brennan. "He helped to make this transition a smooth one, and we will continue to rely heavily on Matt as we move the program forward."
American won 52 games in Wolff's three seasons, going .600 (24-16) in Patriot League play. The Eagles won 20 games in both 2010-11 and 2011-12, making an appearance in the College Insider Tournament (CIT).
Wolff was a member of the Boston University men's basketball team, playing under his father, former head coach Dennis Wolff. Wolff started 54-of-94 games for the Terriers and was named the America East Men's Basketball Scholar-Athlete of the Year as a senior. He was also named to the America East All-Defensive Team in his final season and ranked seventh in the conference in both assists per game (3.1) and assist/turnover ratio (1.2).
In 2005 Wolff and BU played in the National Invitation Tournament (NIT). Wolff was also a two-time captain, leading the Terriers in his junior and senior seasons.
Wolff graduated from Boston University in 2009 with a bachelor's degree in criminal justice. He currently resides in Arlington, Va.
Greenman spent three seasons at Georgetown, being promoted to Director of Basketball Operations after just one year with the Hoyas. He worked directly with Brennan for all three seasons. Greenman was involved in all aspects of the day-to-day operations of the program including scouting, film breakdown, on-campus recruiting and camps.
"I worked with Scott for three seasons at Georgetown and I know he has what it takes to be a great coach," said Brennan. "He has a tremendous knowledge of the game, and his experience at Princeton, Georgetown and playing professionally overseas has given him great insight and perspective he will be able to share with our student-athletes."
Georgetown won at least 21 games in each of Greenman's three seasons, winning 10-plus Big East games each year, berths into the NCAA Tournament every season as well as a conference regular season title this past year.
Prior to Georgetown, Greenman was an assistant coach at Princeton from 2007-10, where he helped orchestrate the biggest two-year turnaround in the history of the program. He was instrumental in building a team that would eventually win the Ivy League Championship and play in the 2011 NCAA Tournament.
In 2009, Greenman was selected as the head coach of the U.S.A. U-18 Maccabiah Team. The team spent the month of July in Israel competing in the Maccabiah Games, where they won a silver medal.
Greenman spent the 2006-07 season playing professionally in Israel for B'nei Ha'sharon, helping lead his team to a final four finish in both the Israeli Premier League Championship and the Israeli Cup.
Greenman played collegiately at Princeton from 2002-06 for current Georgetown head coach John Thompson III. In his senior year he was named a unanimous first team All-Ivy selection in 2006 and named to the Academic All-Ivy League Team. During Greenman's sophomore year, he started every game and made a team-high 42 three-pointers en route to helping Princeton win the Ivy League and reach the 2004 NCAA tournament.
Greenman earned a bachelor's degree in sociology from Princeton in June 2006. He currently resides in Arlington, Va.

Hello friends! I have a fun little bonus tutorial for you today that works for both the Dawn and Ash jeans. There were quite a few requests for tips on how to get a cleaner finish on the pocket bags. So today we’re going to go over how to finish your pocket bags with french seams!
If you’ve ever sewn any kind of french seam, this is the same exact concept. It’s going to create a pretty and clean finish along the edge, where the raw edge of the fabric is complete enclosed. It gives a nice little professional looking touch.
Are you ready to see what I mean? Let’s get to it!
So at this point, your jeans should look something like this. You have already attached the coin pocket attached the pocket facings to the pocket bags, attached the pocket bags to the jeans, and topstitched. If you need help walking through these steps, you can find the sewalong post here.
Now, normally, and as described in the instructions for Dawn and Ash, you would fold the pocket bag in half with wrong sides together, stitch 5/8″ from the edge, and finish the raw edge. This is what it looks like finished that way:
Here’s an example of a pair of Ash jeans with pocket bags finished following the instructions.
And now let’s discuss how to finish them with a french seam, instead…
Instead of folding the pocket bag in half with wrong sides together, you will want to fold it in half with right sides together. To do this you’ll have to kind of manoeuvre the pocket bag over to the side.
Align the outer edge and bottom curved edge. Pin along the bottom curved edge only.
Sew along the bottom curved edge only, 3/8″ from the raw edge.
Trim back the seam allowance to 1/8″.
Flip the pocket bag back around so the wrong sides are back together. Re-shape the curve of the bottom and press well.
Now stitch again 1/4″ from the curved edge. This will encase the raw edge on the inside.
That’s it! Repeat for the other side, and you have some super neat and clean, fancy pocket bags!
You can now continue on with the instructions – basting the pocket bags to the side seam and waist.

[Ed. – Keep in mind that this guy, who has been under investigation by the Capitol Police since February, is STILL on the House Democrats’ payroll, and has reportedly been receiving a salary. Something really bizarre going on here.]
A House IT staffer at the center of a congressional computer equipment scandal has been arrested by federal officials and charged with bank fraud, Fox News has learned.
Fox News is told officers and agents from the U.S. Capitol Police, the FBI and Customs and Border Protection were involved in the arrest of Imran Awan at Dulles International Airport.
Awan, 37, of Virginia, pleaded not guilty Tuesday to one count of bank fraud during his arraignment in federal court in Washington, D.C. He was released but will have to wear a GPS monitor and abide by a curfew. …
Law enforcements authorities for months have been looking into how Awan may have double-billed the House for equipment like computers, iPads, monitors, keyboards and routers. …
Authorities also have looked into IT workers putting sensitive House information on the “cloud” and potentially exposing it to outside sources.
Fox News is told that federal officials arrested Awan at Dulles airport in suburban Virginia as he was “trying to leave the country.”

Unions and management reached an attempted deal Thursday, averting a freight rail strike that had threatened to cripple U.S. supply chains and push higher prices for many goods.
The deal with unions representing more than 50,000 engineers and conductors was announced shortly after 5am ET in a statement from the White House, which called it “a major victory for our economy and the people. American”.
It came after 20 hours of talks between union leadership and railway labor negotiators hosted by Labor Secretary Marty Walsh. They began their meeting Wednesday morning with the ticking time until a strike was to begin at 12:01 am ET on Friday.
President Joe Biden personally called to speak with negotiators around 9 p.m. ET on Wednesday, according to a person familiar with the negotiations. Biden pointed out that catastrophic damage could come to families, businesses and communities if the rail system closes.
The deal does not mean that the strike threat has completely disappeared. The agreement must be ratified by the union members. But that’s good news for a wide range of companies that depend on freight railways to continue operating and for the US economy in general. About 30% of the nation’s freight travels by rail.
The deal offers union members an immediate 14% increase with arrears dating back to 2020 and increases by a total of 24% over the five-year life of the contract, which runs from 2020 to 2024. It also gives them cash bonuses. of $ 1,000 per year.
Few other details of the deal have been made public so far. But Biden’s statement indicated that the main issue that had brought the country within a day of its first national rail strike in 30 years was being addressed in favor of the unions.
“It is a victory for tens of thousands of rail workers who worked tirelessly during the pandemic to ensure that American families and communities receive deliveries of what has kept us going through these difficult years,” Biden said in a statement. . “These railroad workers will receive better pay, better working conditions and peace of mind on health care costs – all hard earned.”
The controversy was over staff shortages and scheduling rules that union leaders claimed brought their members to a breaking point. Unions say the railways have required their members to be “on call” and ready to show up for work on short notice even seven days a week. The leadership of the two unions had said that their members would not accept a contract without changes to those working rules.
Biden described the deal as “also a win for railroad companies that will be able to retain and recruit more workers for an industry that will continue to be part of the backbone of the US economy for decades to come.”
It is a major victory for Biden, who only faced bad choices if an agreement was not reached. Supporting congressional action demanded by the business community to impose a contract on workers would have angered its supporters among the unions. Letting the breakdown take place risked enormous economic consequences just before the mid-term elections.
Railway workers are governed by a different labor law than most workers, which limits their freedom to strike and allows for more government intervention. In July, Biden issued an order that prevented a strike at that time and created a panel, known as the Presidential Emergency Board, to try to find a solution to the dispute.
It also imposed a 60-day cooling-off period during which unions could not strike and management could not block workers. That period of reflection was supposed to end early Friday.
Biden could not have ordered the railways to continue operating once the cooling-off period ended on Friday. Only Congress could have acted to get the unions back to work if a strike started.
With a wide range of business groups calling on Congress to act, the Republicans had prepared legislation that would give railroad management the deal they wanted. But the Democrats were against taking such action.
A union source said the Democrats’ refusal to side with management was a key to the talks.
“The Senate leadership not acting has given way to these negotiations,” the union source said. You said Walsh had “held out” with the union during the negotiations.
“Yesterday was a grind,” he said, with a lot of back and forth.
“Our people would not have given up,” the source said. “Our people would have gone on strike” if an agreement had not been reached by Friday’s deadline.
The Association of American Railroads also praised the deal and thanked the Biden administration, as well as the unions themselves, for their role in reaching an agreement.
The salary increases and bonuses had been recommended by a presidential panel tasked with trying to find a solution to the impasse in negotiations at the time.
Those terms were profitable enough for most rail unions to accept interim deals in recent weeks, engineers and conductors, who had to deal with work rules and schedules that didn’t apply to others, refused to sign without relief. on the issue of planning.
Shares of major freight railways – Union Pacific (UNP), CSX (CSX) and Norfolk Southern (NSC) – were between 1% and 3% higher in pre-market trading on the news. Shares of Berkshire Hathaway (BRKA), which owns the fourth national freight railway, Burlington Northern Santa Fe, were also slightly higher.

I am currently commissioning and characterizing a small scale subsonic wind tunnel which requires the implementation of a differential pressure sensor. We are using an Arduino Uno R3 with and SDP610-500Pa. I have attached the code we are using to return the pressure reading and then convert it to a flow velocity and a print screen of the results
The issue we seem to be having is that when using the readPa() function it is returning a value of 65535 when it should be returning a value of 32767 at zero differential pressure . This appears to be an overflow problem. The sensor should return a pressure between +/-500Pa when there is a differential pressure present.
Does anyone have any idea how we can get the sensor to return a physical value in Pascals within the +/- 500Pa range. It is essential that we do to return the correct flow velocity.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Getting time into proper perspective is one way to live life well. “Teach us to number our days that we may gain a heart of wisdom,” prays Moses in Psalm 90:12. Modern society is hustled by time: we feel the burden of it in ways that generations before us haven’t. And despite all our priorities for “saving time,” we are oriented in all the wrong ways toward it: we may save our minutes, but is this any guarantee that we aren’t wasting our years? What does the Bible have to say about time, and what does this mean for a New Year? Today, I’ll consider what the Bible has to say about the past.
In Biblical time, the past only matters as a record of God’s faithfulness. We aren’t meant to live tethered to our yesterdays, especially when they become for us a source of self-accusation.
The long list of our past failures – the record of the moral debt that we all owe to God and to neighbor – is, if we are in Christ, nailed to the cross from which He hung. This is immensely good news. 2012 is under our feet, and if we want to look back, it should not be to rehearse our sins and tear open the wounds of guilt, which the Scriptures teach Someone has died to heal:
“[Jesus Christ] wounded for our transgressions; he was crushed for our iniquities and upon him was the chastisement that brought us peace.
By his stripes we are healed.”
Because of Christ, God’s memory is deliberately short when it comes to keeping record of what it is we owe Him (Psalm 103:11, 12). And if God chooses to erase yesterday’s record, why would we insist upon rewriting it?
No, the only real reason to look back is to rehearse the acts of grace. God has been faithful, active, and present in the past. And this is always true, whether we believe it or not, feel it or not.
2012 may have carried with it some unwelcome news, a host of disappointments, even deep and profound sadness. It may seem like the biggest leap of faith to proclaim the presence of God in a year of barren darkness.
But it is always by faith that we proclaim God’s redemptive work.
And if 2012 has inaugurated a season of joy, if the past year has ushered in accomplishments, answered prayers, new friendships and more blessed change, may we each with gratitude receive the good gifts, which to us from Above have fallen.
Because whether life has been good to us or not in the past year, it is by faith that we embrace and proclaim the goodness of God.
“You are good, and what you do is good,” (Psalm 119:68).
This is the theological certainty we need for all dimensions of time.

A medical employee administer the Jansen (Johnson and Johnson) Covid-19 vaccine to the general public at a FEMA run mobile Covid-19 Vaccination center at Biddeford High School in Bidderford, Maine on April 26, 2021.
Joseph Prezioso|AFP|Getty Images
WASHINGTON– The Supreme Court decreased Friday to obstruct Maine’s requirement for healthcare employees to get a Covid-19 vaccine, although it does not consist of a spiritual exemption.
The vote was 6-3, with Justices Clarence Thomas, Samuel Alito and Neil Gorsuch dissenting.
Two of the court’s other conservatives, Amy Coney Barrett and Brett Kavanaugh, stated they concurred the court needs to not take the case, due to the fact that it began an emergency situation appeal without advantage of a complete rundown.
The Maine order uses to healthcare employees in medical facilities, nursing houses and medical professional’s workplaces worksFriday State authorities state the majority of those covered by the order have actually complied.
Maine enabled spiritual exemptions in the past for healthcare employees, day care staff members, school kids and university student. But the state removed all non-medical vaccination exemptions in2019 It stated falling shot rates were triggering infectious illness to spread out more quickly.
A group of healthcare employees took legal action against when the Covid vaccine was needed, stating they objected due to the fact that the vaccine was established with the help of “fetal cell lines that originated in elective abortions.” The guideline required them to choose “what is more important to them — their deeply held religious beliefs or their ability to work anywhere in their state so that they can feed their families.”
None of the Covid vaccines consist of fetal cells, according to released information about their structure. During the screening phases for their vaccines, Moderna and Pfizer utilized cell lines duplicated from fetal cells taken 50 years back. Johnson &&Johnson utilized a various cell line in a few of the production stages of its vaccine.
Lawyers for the state informed the court that Maine was not participating in spiritual discrimination, due to the fact that the law uses to all health care employees and is not planned to limit any specific spiritual practice. “The object of the recent amendment to the rule is to prevent the spread of Covid-19 among healthcare workers in high-risk settings, protect patients and individuals from disease and death, and protect Maine’s healthcare system.”
As for the existing pandemic, “Most healthcare facility outbreaks in Maine are the result of healthcare workers bringing Covid-19 into the facility,” the state informed the Supreme Court.
Writing for the 3 dissenters, Justice Gorsuch stated the state was not dealing with all healthcare employees similarly, due to the fact that those with a medical objection might decline to take the vaccine, while those with spiritual objections can not.
“Health care workers who have served on the front line of a pandemic for the last 18 months are now being fired and their practices shuttered. All for adhering to their constitutionally protected religious beliefs. Their plight is worthy of our attention,” he stated.

MCNEIL ISLAND, Wash. - The small, one-room school that has been the center of learning for the children of employees at the McNeil Island Corrections center for more than 50 yearsis closing.
According to the Steilacoom Historical School District #1, the Harriet Taylor Elementary School is closing its doors because of current downsizing at the correction center.
With a smaller capacity at MICC, the island s situation has changed. There aren t the numbers of parents working for DOC who need to live on the island and be available in case of emergencies. With fewer families, we just couldn t justify keeping the school open, said Mr. Ron Van Boening, McNeil Island Corrections Center s superintendent said in a news release.
The closure will effect only about six or seven children. Children whose families will remain on the island during this coming school year will need to take a Department of Corrections boat to Steilacoom and be bused to one of two elementary schools. The district points out that is what older students have been doing to attend middle and high schools on the mainland.
This past school year there were only six students attending Harriet Taylor. The school had one certified teacher, several itinerant specialists and an education assistant.
The small school was built in 1948 and has been used as a school since 1953. It was named after a former corrections center employee.
According to the school district, Harriet Taylor Elementary is one of only 10 remaining remote and necessary schools scattered throughout the state. Those schools serve students in isolated communites; most are east of the Cascades.
This is a beautiful school setting that has provided hundreds of children with the beginning years of a quality education that Steilacoom Historical School district is known for, Mr. Bill Fritz, school district superintendent, saidin the release. We hope that the school might again be used if circumstances dictate.

Protest outside the Turkish Embassy in London in solidarity with Boğaziçi University struggle
Solidarity continues to grow for the protests which were triggered by the appointment of pro-Erdogan rector Melih Bulu, a businessman who had previously stood as a candidate for the ruling AKP.
Kurdish and Turkish women's organisations demanded the resignation of the government appointed rector of Istanbul's Bogazici University at a protest outside the Turkish Embassy in London yesterday.
In a socially distanced protest they displayed the rainbow flag, raising the slogan of the student movement: "We will not bow, we will not look down."
The organisations - which included the Socialist Women's Union (SKB) and the Kurdish Women's Assembly - hit out at homophobic remarks made by Turkey's bullish interior minister Suleyman Soylu who described LGBT people as "perverts" earlier this week.
Twitter blocked his account over the remark. But President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said in a speech on Wednesday: "We will carry our young people to the future, not as the LGBT youth, but as the youth that existed in our nation's glorious past."
Mr Erdogan has previously said that LGBT people were incompatible with Turkish values, accusing them of "poisoning" the minds of young people.
He referred to the protesters as "terrorists" and warned his government would "do what it takes" to stop them.
But the groups warned the remarks "target the right to life" of the LGBT community and "perpetrate and incite hate crimes."
"As women, we condemn Soylu's statements.
" Boğaziçi students and the LGBT community are right, their demands must be accepted. The trustee must resign!
"Get used to; LGBT people existed, they exist and they will exist, " they said in a statement.
Solidarity continues to grow for the protests which were triggered by the appointment of pro-Erdogan rector Melih Bulu, a businessman who had previously stood as a candidate for the ruling Justice and Development Party (AKP).
His appointment, the first from outside the university community since the 1980 coup, sparked widespread anger and is seen as a reflection of a deeply authoritarian regime tightening its grip on all aspects of life in Turkey.
The response has been heavy-handed as Erdogan fears the protests will become "another Gezi" - the 2013 protests that nearly brought down the government.
In Britain, the Peace in Kurdistan group released a statement condemning the attacks on peaceful protests and is collecting signatories and messages of support.
The National Union of Students (NUS) has pledged its solidarity with those fighting back across Turkey.
It's President, Larissa Kennedy said: “State violence and police brutality are global injustices and our rage and solidarity are with the LGBTQ+ students from Istanbul’s Bogazici University who are fighting for liberation at this time.”
Some 528 people have been detained this week, according to Interior Ministry figures.
Snipers have been positioned on buildings with their sights targeted on protesters and police have fired tear gas and rubber bullets to disperse demonstrations.
Students have warned of sexual assaults and violence at the hands of police. A woman was beaten unconscious in the capital Ankara earlier this week.
The women's organisations demanded the immediate release of all those held.

As winter settles down upon my quiet New England hometown and I observe the most recent snow that has fallen on our streets and sidewalks, I can’t help but think of those living further north where the wind blows colder and the days are only too brief. Recently, the Peabody Essex Museum, in Salem, Massachusetts, displayed an exhibit of craft, art and film from Inuit people in the arctic north, in their gallery space created specifically for rotating installations of Native America art. And on a blustery winter day in late December, I had the fortunate experience of stumbling onto this exhibit.
The exhibit, titled Our Land: Contemporary Art from the Arctic, is the first major exhibition of art and craft from the Canadian territory of Nunavut, which lies in northwest North America just inside the Arctic Circle. Nunavut, created in 1999 after the Canadian government reformulated its territories, spans from the Hudson Bay to the North Pole and houses ecologies that range from barren vistas to mountains to the silent but lively oceans. These harsh yet beautiful conditions act as only a part of the inspiration for Inuit art in Nunavut.
Our Land was born from a collaboration between the Peabody Essex Museum, the Government of Canada and the Government of Nunavut’s Department of Culture, Language, Elders and Youth, and is part of an on-going series at the Peabody Essex Museum that focuses on Native American art and culture. This series also falls in line with the museums commitment “to forging partnerships with Native American artists through projects such as the Education through Cultural and Historical Organizations (ECHO).”
The Inuit art and craft on display during the exhibition ranges in medium from stone, leatherwork, pottery and textiles on the craft side to lithographs, drawings, sculpture, photography and film on the fine art side. Although the forms and mediums of all the pieces varied greatly, the significance behind each and its source of inspiration clearly came from one unified origin: the culture and spirit of the Inuit people.
Karen Kramer, assistant curator of Native American Art, along with John Grimes, deputy director for research, new media and information, curated this exhibit around the themes of cosmology and spirituality, families, place, season, time and gathering. In order to explore Traditional Inuit Knowledge, or Inuit Qaujimajtuqangit, more deeply through the exhibit, Kramer organized the works into three sections. The first section considers Being where works that focus on cosmology and spirituality explore the responsibilities and challenges of the Inuit people in the modern world. In the second section, works that emphasize Family, where traditional knowledge is reinforced and acquired, display images of individuals, the community and the nuclear family, and examine themes like individual identity within a culture. Lastly, the third section examines works which highlight Community and the way in which traditional knowledge is preserved throughout time, place and season in a changing social context.
What is interesting about Inuit art and craft is the unique implementation of technology, both modern and ancient, each artist or artisan uses. For example, an artisan may create a stone Inuksuk, literally “likeness of a person,” which acts as cairn or landmark to identify a specific place of significance in the endless and barren tundra. The creation of cairns is an old method of marking the land used in traditional societies the world over. In terms of new technology, Inuit artists have melded traditional Inuit themes like family, nature and survival with modern mediums such as film. These endeavors have met with great success. In Zacharias Kunuk’s film Atanarjuat or The Fast Runner won the Camera d’Or for Film Debut at the 2001 Cannes Film Festival. In the Our Land exhibit, Kunuk’s other film Nunavut is incorporated into a video installation and highlights Inuit art’s auspicious advance into the fine art world.
However, Inuit craft and art still hangs in a precarious balance where traditional artisans struggle with the influences and appeals of modernization. Much like Indian folk art Inuit craft strives for survival in this ever-accelerating world that requires constant stimulation. In both cultures artisan must deal with issues of authenticity, preserving images, meaning and significance while bending to market trends in order to earn a living from the beautiful items they create. In Inuit North America however, there is lack of directly accessible markets due to its remoteness and harsh environmental conditions. Instead Inuit artisans must turn into artists and rely on the acceptance of the fine art world where their images, stories and culture can live on.
For more information about Inuit Art, Culture and History go to the Peabody Essex Museum’s web site where there is a list of resource web sites, interviews with Inuit artisans and singers and a video link which depicts the construction of a stone figure or inuksuk at the museumhttp://www.pem.org/exhibitions/exhibition.php?id=36

Defect In Iris Of Eye
20-30% reduction: Usually after a 20-30% reduction, difficulty with eye fatigue and loss of effective night vision is noted. Believed that excessive hooding to that level forces drivers to lift their head when driving at night, resulting in excessive glare and loss of "gray" colors needed for depth perception. Use of visual field analysis in most eye doctor offices can measure the degree of loss. ...Read more
Protect good eye: Amblyopia is usually never acute, it's something that developed from when you're a child. Basically means you cannot see 20/20 out of that eye. So it's nonfunctional except in seeing light and form. However your dominant, normal eye can see 20/20 w/or w/o correction needs to be protected at all times.

Is macular degeneration the same as retinal degeneration? My eye reports says Bilateral: Defect is consistent with retinal degeneration. I'm 33.
Not really: Macular degeneration is a type of retinal degeneration found in the senior population that affects only the center of vision.

Do all myopics have standard measurement of thinner retina with each degree of higher myopia? Couldn't it be due to defects in anterior layers of eye?
Different issue: Myopes have a combination of greater length of the eye from front to back and a lense that is higher power. All retinas except some pathologic retinas are the same thickness. A myopic eye focuses the light inside the eye in front of the retina as the focusing is too strong.

The Diamond as Big as the Ritz: And Other Stories
Wordsworth Editions, 1994 - 240 lappuses
With an Introduction and Notes by Stuart Hutchinson, University of Kent at Canterbury.
The Diamond as Big as the Ritz is an ominous fable about the pursuit of great wealth. Readers will be transported to a fabulous fantasy land of such opulence that its very existence has to remain a jealously guarded secret. Fatal consequences lie in store for 'bona fide' guests and uninvited visitors alike, while the sybaritic luxury of the place is evoked in an effortless prose style which is quintessentially F. Scott Fitzgerald.
Also featured in this volume are The Cut-Glass Bowl, May Day, The Rich Boy, Crazy Sunday, An Alcoholic Case, The Lees of Happiness, The Lost Decade and Babylon Revisited.

She was the bridesmaid to end all bridesmaids. And then when it was her turn to walk down the aisle, Pippa Middleton certainly didn't disappoint. But is that really any surprise? With Pippa celebrating her 34th birthday today, we're looking back at her most fashionable moments over the years.
From tennis court-side style, to tons of Tabitha Webb looks, and fascinators galore—Pippa's British style is so classic (dare we say she's only met her match in her own sister, the Duchess of Cambridge?). Scroll through to see 22 of Pippa Middleton's most memorable fashion moments.
Always the court-side queen, Pippa looked breezy and beautiful at Wimbledon this year in a tiered floral dress by Weekend Max Mara.
Soon after tying the knot, Pippa proved herself to be not only a beautiful bride, but a fashion-forward wedding guest. At a friend's wedding, Pippa stunned in a floral-printed, black and white gown by Erdem.
Fresh off their honeymoon (and still rocking that newlywed glow), Pippa and her husband James Matthews made their married couple debut with Pippa donning a blush pink jumpsuit, ruby red pumps, and a heart-shaped clutch for the occasion.
After weeks—nay, months—of dreaming up what kind of gorgeous gown Pippa would walk down the aisle in, we finally got to see Pippa's wedding dress when she tied the knot on May 20. Her Giles Deacon–designed gown featured all-over lace, a high Victorian neckline, a voluminous A-line skirt, cap sleeves, and keyhole back.
Ahead of her big day, Pippa's stepped out in her this midi-length Erdem dress in gray floral print.
A tailored tan jumpsuit by Brit favorite Reiss is the perfect choice for the BGC Annual Global Charity Day.
A floral maxi L.K. Bennet dress is an ideal summer party choice.
Pippa wore custom Tabitha Webb to the British Heart Foundation (complete with a heart-shaped clutch)
This sky blue Hugo Boss dress, with a plunging neckline, is one of our favorite Pippa looks to date.
Another Hugo Boss look, this time for the GQ Men of the Year Awards in 2014.
Pippa supports Tabitha Webb at her store opening—wearing a patterned dress by the designer.
Pippa did Wimbledon right in a floral dress by Suzannah.
She chose another Tabitha Webb dress to make a mod statement at Wimbledon.
A bright blue Jenny Packham dress flattered Pippa's athletic figure in 2015.
Another day, another tennis match—this time in a Carolina Herrera matching set.
Tabitha Webb is clearly a favorite of Princess Kate's sister. She wore a cobalt blue lace dress from the designer for a wedding in 2013, topped off with a fascinator.
Topping a bright yellow coat with a striking fur hat is our idea of a winter style statement!
A black Emilia Wickstead gown was just edgy enough for Pippa at the Sugar Plum ball in 2013.
Another Brit designer tops Pippa—this time with a feathered Matthew Williamson frock for a Vanity Fair party.
This is how the Brits do wedding guest attire—a ruffled peplum waist, demure floral (by Tabitha Webb), and a fascinator.
In Stella McCartney at the 2012 launch of her book Celebrate.
And, of course, the dress that started it all, Pippa's scene-stealing maid of honor dress by Sarah Burton for Alexander McQueen at Kate and Will's royal wedding.

This eTandem project was set up between students in the US two months before they left for a mobility program to Padova in Italy and university students in Padova who had signed up for an eTandem project to improve their English.
The project was intended to have students doing activities in pairs, as in traditional eTandem, but also to try to form a group with, for example, forum discussions. A Moodle site was set up to provide prompts for pair discussion but also a group dialogue space and also a container to gather reflective diaries and student feedback.
University of Padova
Dominant form of language production:
|Online Communication Skills|
Can be replicated in many different contexts. We intend to replicate this with pre-mobility Erasmus students.
How long did the project last?
How was the project organized?
Getting to know each other activities such as presentation on Moodle forum. Information exchange activities regarding university life, sentence completion, forum discussion on stereotypes with a video prompt.
How were the students assessed?
This exchange was not part of a course, students were participating on a voluntary basis. Those who wanted a certificate of participation from the university were required to write a weekly diary, and to hand this in to the Language Centre.
What worked well?
What did students think of the project?
Several of the US students reported that it was very reassuring for them to have contact with a student in Padova before their arrival. One Boston University student wrote in her diary: " It was interesting to learn about life in Italy! What’ s more I like talking to V. because she’ s a student in Padova and knows lots of things which are useful for me. When she talks about her week she talks about things I want to see and do next semester. It’ s also been interesting learning about her life, because I’ ve read about this in our Italian lessons at university, but her experiences are real!" The Moodle site was found to be ‘ old fashioned’ and incovenient some of the students commented. Something more convenient to use such as Facebook would have been used more they said. Students were also very busy during the exchange period and so did not have much time to dedicate to the exchange.
What challenges did you face?
Students did not participate in the group activities such as forum discussions and very few students completed diaries or even filled in the final questionnaire. What emerged from student feedback is that they had little time to engage in the project as it was exam time, and they were preparing for their departure.
What did the teachers think of the project?
It was a worthwhile project but needs to be adjusted in order to be more effective. Student feedback will be taken into account in designing the next exchange.
What kind of institutional support did you receive?

The Beer SpoilerAlert assay is for use on the Encompass Optimum workstation.
The firm said it is the first fully automated assay for detecting beer spoilage organisms and to simultaneously detect microorganisms and hops-resistance genes.
It targets L. brevis, P. claussenii, Pediococcus spp., S. cerevisiae and S. pastorianus among others.
How it works and trial
SpoilerAlert assays are designed to run on the Rheonix CARD cartridge in the workstation. Each cartridge can process four samples and the workstation can do six cartridges at a time, for a total throughput of 24 samples in five hours.
The assay can provide results in five hours (without enrichment) or next day with enrichment, versus four to seven days for conventional culture-based detection methods.
Many microorganisms naturally present throughout the brewing process can survive in beer and result in spoilage, negatively affecting flavor, appearance and aroma.
Rheonix said in an evaluation with an unnamed US brewery, the assay demonstrated consistent next-day detection of microorganisms and the genes that enable these organisms to spoil beer.
In the evaluation, over 300 beer samples collected from tanks and bottles were tested side by side with the Beer SpoilerAlert assay and standard microbiological methods.
The automated system requires 10 minutes of hands-on time and lab technicians can place 24 samples on the workstation, press “go” and walk away.
Greg Galvin, CEO and chairman of Rheonix, said: “This technology will help breweries get results sooner and release product to market more quickly, while ensuring the product maintains its quality from the moment a brewmaster formulates it to the time it reaches a consumer’s hands.”
The second generation of the Beer SpoilerAlert assay is in development and additional preliminary targets include Saccharomyces diastaticus, AAB, Oenococcus oeni, Zygosaccharomyces bailii, Lactobacillus spp., Megasphaera and Pectinatus.
A Wine SpoilerAlert assay is in the pipeline for Q2 2017 and assays for Salmonella, E. coli O157:H7 and Listeria are also in development.
Platform introduction at IAFP
Rheonix introduced the Encompass Optimum Workstation at the International Association for Food Protection (IAFP) Annual Meeting.
It provides sample-to-answer, multiplexed testing for food and environmental samples.
The firm said its expansion in food and beverage testing will build upon success in research and clinical laboratories.
The workstation enables detection of up to 22 targets per sample with one pipetting step and 15-minute hands-on time, enabling technicians to place 12 or 24 enriched samples on the workstation, press “go,” and let it run.
It detects the targets per sample using reverse dot blot technology and can detect genus, species, strains and virulence factors in one assay.
The firm claimed the sample preparation enables greater sensitivity, higher accuracy and fewer failures than other molecular methods.
The workstation does sample preparation and detection on board, including removal of sample matrix and PCR inhibitors, and concentration, purification amplification and detection of DNA.
“We are excited about the progress we have made in the applied markets side of our business, and we look forward to seeing the impact our unique technology can have on the food and beverage testing market,” said Galvin.


QDVC has built 4 car parks in the Marina District of the new city of Lusail, North Doha, which will accommodate 250,000 people and around 400,000 visitors per day. The Car Parks is the first infrastructure completed in this new town.
What distinguishes Lusail City’s car parking and waiting areas is that they are equally accessible to both residents and visitors. The city’s car parks have been carefully located and beautifully landscaped at sites expected to receive considerable numbers of visitors and are connected by 10 pedestrian tunnels which stretch across the districts.
The project consists of:
- Design and construction of 4 underground parking of 3 levels each;
- Each parking can accommodate 560 vehicles;
- 4 Dedicated places for disabled people on each level;
- Air conditioned passage for pedestrians;
- 60 Travelators, 48 escalators, 16 lifts;
- Construction (civil works) of 4 substations;
- 50,000 Sqm landscaping works on the car parks.

A north Phoenix burglary victim will not be denied justice as he directed a police helicopter to the suspect.
Court records show that on November 29, a man chased down a woman seen burglarizing his car and waves down a police helicopter for assistance.
Police report that a husband and wife were coming out of Claim Jumper restaurant near 31st Avenue and Beardsley Road when they saw a woman in front of their car.
Mike Mielnicki says he and his wife finished dinner at Claim Jumper restaurant near 31st Avenue and Beardsley Road when they saw a woman in front of their car. As the woman walked away, Mielnicki says they found their SUV ransacked and he knew it was the woman they'd just seen but she was already gone.
hen he ran back into the restaurant to ask employees to contact police, they told him a woman just ran into the restroom. Police say he went toward the bathroom as she ran out. He nearly caught her as she was running out of the restaurant, so Mielnicki did too.
"She just robbed from me, I wasn't going to let her get away with it." he said.
The man continued to chase her and as the woman was running she dropped items that belonged to them. He lost site of her as she entered the canal area, north of the restaurant. Not to be denied, the victim waved down a police helicopter flying overhead and pointed them in the direction of the suspect.
"I'm thinking, 'Man, that would be cool if this helicopter was involved,'" he said. "Then this flood light comes down on me."
It was Phoenix Firebird thanks to the 911 calls at the restaurant where his wife was speaking with police. He says two unmarked police cars and a few patrol cars followed as he pointed the chopper down the canal in the direction of the suspect.
The suspect, 21-year-old Jennifer Rachelle Lord, began knocking on random doors at an apartment complex nearby. Police say they located her in one of the apartments.
She was identified by the victims and was found to be in possession some of their money, taken from the car. Lord denied being in the car and asked for an attorney.
She has been charged with burglary.

Nomzamo Mbatha getting married not to Maps Maponyane is a white man
MEDIA personality Nomzamo Mbatha is rumoured to be tying the knot soon. The Isibaya actress has kept everything about this relationship a secret. Ladies, you can breathe a sigh of relief because according to a source, she’s not marrying Masego Maponyane, better known as Maps.
This is shocking news because the two have been rumoured to be dating for years now. However, it is worth noting that the two have done nothing to put off that rumour. In fact, they’ve fueled it to last this long because neither would come out and set the record straight.
It’s said that she’s marrying an unknown white man who doesn’t want to be in the spotlight. The source tells Move! that the beauty is busy organising a wedding.
“Nomzamo is getting married soon. She is marrying a white man and she’s very protective of him because she doesn’t post a thing about him on social media,” says the source.
Even though the details are sketchy, our mole claims that the pair will be saying their “I do’s” in Umlazi, KwaZulu-Natal. Nomzamo has kept mum about this because she’s not even wearing an engagement ring.
Nomzamo confirmed it during an interview on SABC3’s Expresso that she was once engaged. Considering what she said in that interview, it’s pleasantly surprising that the actress has given marriage another chance.
“I have been engaged. Yes, I have had a rock on my finger and I don’t plan on having a rock on my finger ever again,” she revealed at the time.
It was reported that she was engaged to former Idols SA winner, Khaya Mthethwa, and lobolo was paid. The engagement was apparently called off when the television star discovered damning messages between her then fiancé Khaya and friend and fellow actress, Jessica Nkosi, which revealed an uncomfortably close relationship between the two.
This news come after her fans started wondering if she’s pregnant when she posted a mini video on social media wearing a blue and white floral dress that made her seem like she had a bun in the oven. Her fans asked her if she was expecting a baby.
Nomzamo, seemingly shocked by the questions on her timeline replied,“What the hell guys! I’m not pregnant! Can’t a girl wear a dress without it having to be tight and fitted?”
Well, the matter was further fuelled by the alleged boyfriend Maps. He also commented, denying impregnating Nomzamo. He simply said, “Not mine”.
When Move! tried to call her for comment, Nomzamo’s phone was on voicemail. At the time of going to print, she had not yet responded the emails sent to her.

Ruben Patterson had 17 points and eight rebounds, and No. 19 Cincinnati dominated inside for a 70-43 victory over Saint Louis on Thursday night.
Cincinnati (18-5, 9-2 Conference USA) took control early and beat Saint Louis (17-7, 8-3) for the eighth straight time. The Bearcats outrebounded the Billikens 40-24 and had five dunks in the first half.
Cincinnati, which shot 55 percent from the field, led 33-22 at halftime. The Bearcats had a 17-point lead with 15:28 left and poured it on as coach Bob Huggins left his starters in the whole way.
Saint Louis star Larry Hughes, the nation's top freshman scorer with a 21.8 average, had one of his worst games. With eight NBA scouts in attendance, Hughes was 4-for-18 with six turnovers, two offensive fouls and only 12 points.
Saint Louis shot a season-worst 28 percent and didn't have a player in double figures until Hughes scored from the lane with 5:47 to go. The Billikens lost for the second time in 11 games in front of a sellout crowd of 20,007 as coach Charlie Spoonhour was denied his 300th career victory.
Saint Louis made its first 3-pointer in each half, but was only 3-for-14 overall.
Melvin Levett added 15 points, and Kenyon Martin and D'Juan Baker had 14 apiece for Cincinnati, which rebounded from a 69-62 loss at North Carolina-Charlotte on Saturday.
Cincinnati, which is a half-game behind Charlotte in the American Division, hasn't lost consecutive games since 1995.

2006 August 15
By BARB RAYNER
The resolution, which was approved at last Tuesday night's town council meeting, notes that Head Harbour Passage are sovereign waters of Canada and travel through here is considered a most dangerous route because of the frequent adverse weather conditions and tidal action.
It also notes that Passamaquoddy Bay is an ecologically sensitive body of water which would suffer irreversible damage through industrialization brought on by LNG development.
The resolution goes on to state that the economy of southern New Brunswick is heavily based on tourism so the transportation and storage of LNG in Passamaquoddy Bay would place this vibrant and sustainable industry in jeopardy.
It points out that since Passamaquoddy Bay has a strong commercial fishery the security requirements necessitated by the passage of LNG tankers and their additional support vessels would impede the free movement of Canadian fishing vessels as well as all other boat traffic.
Finally, the resolution notes that the cost of the infrastructure to support the development of LNG would be an insurmountable burden on the rural communities of southern New Brunswick.
Later in the meeting Councillor Mike Craig said he had to chastise the federal government for not acting on LNG a lot faster than they have. He said they say they have done what they can but he feels they have to go a step further.
Councillor Mary Myers reminded everyone about the LNG information meeting to be held Aug 31 at the Anglican Church when speakers will be Janice Harvey of Save Passamaquoddy Bay/Canada and Clifford Goudy, who is a professor of marine engineering at MIT.
"Please people don't think that this is not important. This is not over by a long shot and we still need to do a lot of work to get this finished."

The Health Department said it remained open to engage with any affected stakeholders regarding its uniform regulations for staff.
Health Minister Joe Phaahla was asked by NFP MP Munzoor Shaik Emam whether he intended to intervene in the saga involving Muslim women, to whom it is customary to have their heads covered, being restricted while on duty in healthcare facilities from wearing their headscarves.
Phaahla said while it was customary for women of the Muslim faith to have their heads covered, not all Muslim women covered their heads.
He also said the nursing profession had members of the Muslim faith who currently did not wear headwear.
“It is the employer’s responsibility to provide the uniform or give a cash allowance to its employees if the wearing of a uniform is a condition for their work.
“This is also aligned to the prescripts and regulatory framework of the nursing profession as reflected in the SA Nursing Council regulations.
“Chief amongst these is the imperative to uphold and portray professional identity and image, in addition to minimising any potential risk to patient safety.
“The regulations stipulate that the wearing of the uniform should enable all nurses to display the devices which distinguish a nurse providing care in line with her professional qualifications from others,” he said.
Phaahla also said the dress code for nurses had always served as an administrative instrument to give effect to service obligations that were imposed by the profession on their members.
Since 2005, nurses have been provided with an allowance to purchase their own uniform.
He said the unintended consequence has been a lack of standardisation in terms of colour, material composition and quality of garment.
“The recent circular intended to restore standardisation in the wearing of uniforms. In addition to affirming the historic position of the department regarding wearing of adornment while on duty.”
Phaahla said the Department of Health was aware of the objection raised by Muslims organisations.
“This is the first time that the decade old practice reading wearing of adornment while on duty is being challenged.
“The department remains open to engage with any affected stakeholder in this regard,” he said.


Factional feud among the orders of ascetics has come to the fore at the ongoing Maha Kumbh congregation in Allahabad with one of the "akharas" threatening to boycott the upcoming "Shahi Snan" festivals if a religious head revered by it was not allowed to take part in the ritual bathing.
The Nirmohi Ani Akhara, which belongs to the Vaishnava sect, has issued a statement demanding that Mahant Gyandas, who is currently away at Gangasagar in West Bengal, be allowed to take part in the "Shahi Snans" of Mauni Amavasya (February 10) and Basant Panchmi (February 15) failing which its sadhus will boycott the bathing festivals.
Presence of "akharas" is given paramount importance during the Shahi Snans and refusal to participate by any of the orders of ascetics is considered a major let down for the administrative machinery entrusted with conducting a Maha Kumbh.
The controversy is rooted in a split in the Akhil Bharatiya Akhara Parishad that had taken place during the Haridwar Kumbh of 2010.
While one of the factions enjoying the support of seven Saivite "akharas" has announced Mahant Baldev Singh as its head, the other group comprising three Vaishnava "akharas" reposed its trust in Gyandas, who headed the council of ascetics before the split.
The Vaishnava akharas -- Digambar Ani, Nirvani Ani and Nirmohi Ani -- had taken part in the first Shahi Snan of Makar Sankranti (January 14) notwithstanding resentment over Gyandas not being invited for the occasion.
Situation seems to have worsened following a recent spat between sadhus of the Nirmohi Akhara and Swami Narendra Giri, who heads the Niranjani Akhara of the Saivite sect.
At a meeting with administrative officials on Saturday, sadhus of the Nirmohi Ahara had pressed the demand for bringing Gyandas for the upcoming "Shahi Snans", which was opposed by Giri who pointed out that a majority of akharas were backing Mahant Baldev Singh and hence the other faction must not be given recognition.
The Nirmohi Akhara, slighted by the larger faction, has charged Giri with "misleading the administration" and threatened to boycott the upcoming Shahi Snans if their demand was not accepted.
