China will step up cooperation and exchanges with international communities on environmental issues and adhere to sustainable industrialization practices to achieve co-ordinated development of man and nature.
That statement was made by Vice-Premier Zeng Peiyan during a speech at the annual meeting of the China Council for International Cooperation on the Environment and Development which closed in Beijing over the weekend.
Established in 1992, the council is an advisory body to further strengthen cooperation and exchanges between China and the world in environmental and development fields.
The vice-premier, who is the council's chairman, said China is determined to deal with environmental problems, and added it will discard traditional development modes that soak up resources and destroy nature.
He said choices would be made to use sustainable industrialization, characterized by advanced science and technology, high economic benefits, low consumption of resources, reduced pollution and efficient use of labor forces.
Zeng emphasized the importance of international co-operation in resolving environmental issues, and said resolving issues increasingly depends on rational utilization of worldwide resources.
As a responsible country, China is ready to contribute in this regard, he added.
Zeng also urged developed countries to shoulder more responsibility for global environmental protection while developing countries should strive for the quality of their economic growth.
A reasonable transfer mechanism for environmental technologies should be established while paying attention to protection of intellectual property rights, Zeng said. He added that the developed countries should eliminate trade barriers set up through rigid environmental standards.
During the three-day conference, participants made suggestions on China's energy strategies, cleaner production methods, and "green" businesses, and are expected to submit a report to the State Council late this month.
Director of State Environmental Protection Administration Xie Zhenhua, who is also the vice-chairman of the council, spoke highly of the concerted efforts of participating experts and task forces in a concluding speech.
The council is expected to focus on sustainable agriculture at its meeting next year.

I mean, it is the month of Thanksgiving. Leaving this one out would be a crime.
Despite my strained relationship with food, it’s something I am still grateful for, some times more than others. None of us would be here, breathing and heart beating and heads thinking, without some of sustenance.
But as I’ve spent a semester in an honors class focused on food, I am reminded of how much more food can mean to us besides the nourishment. It’s the center of culture and community, it can transport us to certain places and memories, it’s affecting our impact on the environment, ourselves, and each other.
There are certain foods I can think of that remind of growing up and comfort and home. Every Sunday, we went to my grandparents’ house for supper with plenty of German food around. At home, we loved trying out every new mac and cheese recipe we could find. And I could never forget to mention the joy that is puppy chow.
It’s no secret that my relationship with food has not been easy, constantly cycling through feelings of contentment into distaste. Rather than the role that it should play, it has been a physical manifestation of my mental illness, an area of life I can pretend to establish control when I feel things are falling apart. In reality, I become obsessed with food and let it rule over basically every part of my life.
Since this mentality toward food is so innate, it has messed with any sense of normalcy. I can’t eat intuitively without wondering how much I’m eating, if it’s enough or too much. It can still be uncomfortable to eat in unfamiliar situations with different people. I have to force myself to eat when I’m physically hungry even if others aren’t eating. Honestly, sometimes I get so lost in my own head and have dealt with these anxieties and emotions for so long, I don’t realize how foreign my thoughts can seem to others.
Especially entering this honors class focused on food-related topics, I came in with a much different attitude toward food than all of my classmates. Food was never a form of self-harm for them. They automatically empathize with the uncomfortable feeling when anybody mentions eating disorders.
With all of this said, I am so grateful for the progress I’ve made. Many factors have gone into this point, but when thinking of food specifically, I am beyond grateful for my transition to veganism. This month marks eight months since first becoming vegan, and I have found a new relationship with food I never thought possible. Veganism helps me feel more comfortable with food knowing that what I eat serves a purpose beyond myself. Not that it isn’t healthy because it’s food that makes me feel great, but I know that the choices I make are the most ethical for other living beings and the environment, too. I love feeling like I can be some form of an advocate at every meal, all while eating awesome food.
It’s not that my hesitations and anxieties have disappeared; they’re certainly still always there. I’ve just gotten better at pushing it aside so I can actually enjoy life and appreciate food for what it is: food. Not some scary, foreign substance out to ruin me. Food is a part of living.
I don’t want to delve too deeply into this topic, but in Western culture, food turns into something far beyond health and sustenance. We are bombarded with messages of dieting and detox foods and everything in between. We yo-yo among different fads in hopes of reaching a certain goal. The real goal should be nutrition and maintaining balance long-term.
And I know I am extremely fortunate to say that I’ve always had food accessible to me. I have never wondered where and when my next meal would come. Something so simple that those without that stressor in life don’t even think about. Hunger certainly isn’t a problem going away any time soon, but the fact that we have people mindlessly wasting food or throwing it away makes me cringe. Probably the same level of disgust as seeing billboards along the interstate toting the “American way” of hunting and eating steak. No, thank you.
I’m getting distracted. I am grateful for food. I am grateful for how eating nutritious food feels and the energy I receive from it. I am grateful for the sense of comfort I receive from eating the not-so-nutritious foods, too. I am grateful for dessert. I am grateful for the warm feeling in my stomach from a great meal. I am grateful for the warmth from wrapping my hands around a cup of coffee in the morning. I am grateful for the traditions I can always rely on and the memories from them involving food, even if I can’t necessarily eat it anymore or have to modify. It’s less about the food itself and more about the people you get to share it with. Finding gratitude and remembering the positives helps me overlook the doubts.
Especially with Thanksgiving tomorrow, the food is the center of attention. More importantly, however, is the people behind it all, sitting around the table. But food certainly helps. And I hope others can also enjoy a day full of good food and people.
Take care, and keep the faith. -Allie

Express News: "If" tolls go in on 281; "2" frontage lanes as non-toll….WHAT??? Posted on February 3, 2006 by Terri Hall TxDOT changing the plans AGAIN!? Article states non-toll lanes will only be two lanes each way instead of 3-4 each direction as a previous article stated. See December 1, 2005 article. Will the deception NEVER end? However, there is victory in the tone and verbiage chosen in this article…the reporter says “if” a toll road goes in on 281. We have placed the tolling of 281 firmly in doubt thanks to all of you!

Internet gambling has become increasingly popular in recent years. In fact, the U.S. Department of Justice and the National Gambling Impact Study Commission have attempted to estimate the size of this industry. Analysts have also tried to determine how this industry is affecting local economies. In 1997, there were fifty to sixty internet casinos operating in the Caribbean. These sites earned between $300 million and $350 million in revenue. In 2000, there were an estimated 700 sites.
Most gambling sites offer free play so that new players can familiarize themselves with the process. After a few minutes, you can proceed to play for real money. To do so, open an account on the website and input your personal information. Create a user name and password. You can then transfer money to the site via wire transfer or electronic check. However, you must ensure that your financial information is secure and confidential before depositing any money into your account.
Some Internet gambling sites require players to download a piece of software before they can participate in the games. Other games can be played right at the Web site, and require players to be online. High-tech software has made online gambling even more interactive by allowing players to bet in virtual reality and chat with other players. There are also several reasons why gambling online is so popular. It’s convenient and affordable – compared to visiting a casino – and you can play your favorite games anytime you want!


Save Big With Metal Roof Restoration
Metal Roof Restoration Will Save You Money
Do you have a commercial metal roof that is aging? Do you have spots, rust spots on your roof or areas that appear to be weak? It is possible to extend your metal roof’s life with a metal roof restoration system that is proven for waterproof, seamless protection that is long lasting.
One great alternative for replacing your roof is commercial metal roof restoration. The actual design of a metal roof makes it prone to failure. Seams and fasteners are two of the main sources causing metal roofs.
On metal roofs, every screw is potentially a problem area due to fasteners being exposed. When the screws on a metal roof are installed, there are rubber washers included that are designed to seal the screw to protect it against moisture. But over time, the rubber will crack and become brittle and that lets moisture to seep in.
Metal roofing gets installed in the form of large sheets, and that means that every sheet is a spot that can potentially leak as well. During windy conditions, there is a wicking action that can pull up water in between the sheets of metal to let it into the building. Whenever new metal gets installed, usually a sealant gets applied in between the metal sheet. However, over time what happens is the sealant starts to decay and will let moisture get inside of the building.
With that in mind, before committing a lot of your money to replace the commercial metal roof, have us come out and inspect it for you. It probably can be restored using our high-performance Commercial Metal Roof Restoration System.
Most of the heat from the sun is reflected by our Restoration System. Therefore, properties are cooler naturally – which can reduce energy costs by up to 30 percent. Our system starts with the roof of the overall issue. We will neutralize the rust, waterproof the protrusions, seams, and screws on the roof using our coating and fabric techniques. The whole roof is then sealed using a polyurethane acrylic coating. That will provide you with a completely seamless roof system which can last up to 10 or 15 more years, providing you with an energy and an ecologically efficient roof that can save you lots of money.
Metal Roof Restoration Contractors With Experience
Taurus Elite Commercial Roof Systems employs a comprehensive metal roof waterproofing restoration system. That inhibits rust, stops leaks, and provide you with an attractive, long-lasting, and energy-efficient finish coat that will expend your metal roof’s lifespan for many years. The restoration process involves the whole roof being cleaned and then rust inhibiting primer is used to prime it. Once the fasteners and seams are reinforced, a highly reflective coating is covered over the whole roof.
The system has been designed specifically to stop leaks where it occurs most open – at the seams. Along with excellent protection against the penetration of moisture, the lifespan of a roof is extended by the Metal Roof Restoration System by allowing it to hold up in serious weather and reduces cooling costs through reflecting the harmful rays of the sun. Lightweight restoration roofing coating may also help to extend the structure of a building. We provide a comprehensive array of services to meet your budget and metal roofing needs.
The following is a basic overview of how our process works:
1. Prime the Metal Roof – The initial step is to neutralize rust spot and prevent any future rust using a metal primer and rust-off.
2. Caulk Openings And Seams – Next, all potential weak posts and fastener heads are caulked using a fastener grade caulking compound.
3. Protect The Seams – Special fabric or tape is used to waterproof the roof’s seams, which compresses material in between a few base coat layers.
4. Apply the Final Coating – Finally, a final reflective topcoat is applied that protects the roof against leaking and will provide you with reliable protection against the rays of the sun and extreme weather for many years into the future. Making your roof watertight is the first step in the process. Then the final coat adds an added leak protection level. After applying the final coat, your metal roof is ready to handle 10 to 18 years worth of the harsh Texas sun.
The following are a few of the benefits that you will immediately see:
- Stops the Leaking – A majority of metal roof leaks begin at the seam which is the weakest point of the roof. Our innovative coating seals the seams, to inhibit rust and prevent leaks.
- Reduces Energy Expenses – The reflective, white coating will help to keep a metal roof cooler by up to 80 degrees, and that can save you as much as 84% of your overall energy expenses.
- Superior Protection – Ideal for all climates, our system offers protection against hail and high winds.
- Save enough money in cooling expenses to pay for the MR Restoration System while you are still in your warranty period.
- Gives you eligibility for the new “green” rebates and/or building tax credits from the federal government.
- Tax savings. It might be possible for your metal roof restoration project to be expensed as maintenance or a repair cost for the year in which the work was conducted. On the other hand, roof replacement is required to be capitalized.
Other benefits include the following:
- Affordable and easy to renew and repair.
- Extended roof life (A cool roof lasts for a longer period of time)
- Dirt-resistant finish requires less maintenance.
- Lightweight restoration coating will preserve the structure of your building.
- Non-pro-rated material warranties offered.

New contributor content has been used to update the World Topographic Map on ArcGIS Online
Data contributions provided by participants of the Community Maps Program have been used to improve the World Topographic Map that can be found on ArcGIS Online. Five new contributors were recently published and one previously published participant was updated. Some of today's updates have personal signifigance for me, as you will see.
The University of Alberta is the third Canadian university to be published on ArcGIS Online. Founded in 1905, the university is the fifth largest in Canada (and my alma mater). Its three campuses in Edmonton are all updated on the map for the 1:1k and 1:9k scales.
Figure 1.1: University of Alberta at 1:1,128
Located on the south shore of Vancouver Island, west of Victoria, is the District of Sooke. It’s scenic locale makes it a popular destination for the outdoor enthusiast. Data contributed by the district has improved the topographic basemap for the 1:1k to 1:9k scales.
Figure 1.2: Sooke, BC at 1:9,028
On the other side of the country, the Township of Loyalist is now on the World Topographic Map. Situated on the shores of Lake Ontario west of Kingston, it became the home of many United Empire Loyalists who settled there after the American Revolution. The updated basemap displays its contributed data at 1:1k to 1:9k.
Figure 1.3: Loyalist Township, ON at 1:4,514
A short way down Highway 401 lies Cobourg, Ontario, another new contributor to the World Topographic Map. Cobourg happens to be my birthplace and one of the houses shown on the snapshot below is where I spent the first six months of my life - a pleasant, short walk to the shores of Lake Ontario.
Figure 1.4: Cobourg, ON at 1:9,028
Drive down Highway 401 towards its western end and you'll find the community of Chatham-Kent - another place, coinicidentally, that I lived when I was a child. Chatham-Kent is a single tier municipality that includes the former city of Chatham and numerous, smaller towns such as Blenheim, Ridgetown and Dresden. The updated basemap displays its contributed data at 1:1k to 1:9k.
Figure 1.5: Downtown Chatham-Kent, ON at 1:9,028
Our last stop on the World Topographic Map update tour today takes us to the north. Yellowknife, Northwest Territories has previously been published on ArcGIS Online. This update includes updates to the data as well as a move over to the new topographic map design.

Electric has some amazing advantages when it comes to performance and lack of maintenance. A friend of mine has a Tesla that will make you swallow your eyeballs, it's so fast and the ability to computer control the speed of each wheel independently should, eventually, make the handling equally amazing. But the environmental impact of battery production is significant. To a great extent it's just shifting the burden to somewhere where we don't have to look at it. And battery recycling is a nightmare of potential pollution ... recycling plants have left their taint in homes many miles away and so far it's kind of a mystery how that's happening. Charging times are an issue, unless you only commute a short distance. AND there doesn't seem to be enough generating or transmission capacity. Lastly, you do NOT want to see an electric car burn. Really! That said, I will add ... AT THE MOMENT. I suspect these systems will get a lot better, cleaner, more efficient in the next 30 years. Personally, I think a hybrid is the better compromise provided you live in a city where you're using the regen braking all the time.
As fast as that Tesla was, it was no where near as fun as my Alfa, a high performance car in its day but pretty slow by 2022 standards. But 45 in the Alfa feels like 70 in anything else and the sound is extraordinary and the handling is ... also fun. Not 1 G on a skid pad but an absolute grin inducing automotive riot. Offered a Tesla or something like an excellently restored 1960s Corvette (probably the same price), I'd take the Vett, as impractical as it may be.
I too dislike seeing the more promising Fuel Cell tech taking the back seat just because it lacks performance (so far). I always thought it was the wave of the future.
I had the pleasure of working on a fuel cell research project several years ago. We gutted a battery powered tow tug vehicle and outfitted it with off-the-shelf fuel cell technology. It was a fun project, but to me it's main limitation is fuel production. While Hydrogen is the most abundant element in the known universe, isolating it as a fuel is a challenge, and the production of it can require more energy than you get out of the Hydrogen as a fuel.

Random Doodles #1
I had no specific idea today. I just drew some random cartoon character design ideas. The first one (from the left) is a character I already drew multiple times before but here he has with a few slight changes. The second one is nerdy-type girl. She didn't come out as good as I hoped. Probably going to try to drew her again but better at some point. The last one is my favorite, but I'm not sure if its legs are strong enough to hold up its huge boulder of a head.

Jones is still producing music videos; most recently for La Vie En Rose (Rockamerica remix) and No Place Like Home: Redux. And her music is still popping up in TV shows and movies to this very day. There's also a rumor, which I can neither confirm nor deny, that she was to appear in the upcoming 25th James Bond film,
No Time to Die
(2020) but quit the role just minutes after arriving on set when she discovered how minimal her screen time was. What could have been?

The most notable thing about the news on the national children’s hospital this week was not that it was going to cost another €500 million. That was entirely predictable. No, what was most striking was how relaxed everyone was about throwing another half a billion into the pot. There was no public debate about where the money would come from, nor much interrogation of the Taoiseach’s statement about “this Government” not putting in more money, which may say more about the timing of the next general election than about the hospital finally coming in on its latest budget allocation of €2.2 billion.
In a State awash with cash, perhaps this insouciance is understandable. A surplus of more than €8 billion is pencilled in for this year for the public finances. In addition, there are already billions in the State reserves in various forms, including €30 billion held by the National Treasury Management Agency and €6 billion in a fund established by Paschal Donohoe when he was finance minister and due to be developed now by his successor Michael McGrath.
A sum of €500 million is not a drop in the ocean – but it won’t throw the public finances off track either. And not finishing the hospital is clearly not an option. So on we go, in the hope that the €9.5 billion Metrolink project – already subject to huge delays and multiplying cost estimates – will not face the same fate once it starts construction. The fitness of the planning system to deal with this kind of mega project is about to be tested and, if it jumps this hurdle, so is the ability to deliver it. The children’s hospital saga has clear messages in terms of planning, contracting and developing, even if trite political comments that “lessons will be learned” are not very convincing.
The ability to pay for these mega projects and accelerated State investment in housing – while also sharply increasing spending on running the State’s services – results from the strong growth in the economy and the boom in corporate tax payments. It is fair to conclude that Ireland’s financial base has moved decisively to a new level: total tax collected in 2015 was €43 billion and by last year this had more than doubled to €87 billion. Add in revenues from other sources, and the State has €100 billion to deploy each year.
Rather than the kind of dramatic slump in taxes seen during the financial crash, the bigger risk is of a slow squeeze over the next couple of years
This enormous bounty gives Ireland the opportunity to invest on an unprecedented scale. And while – correctly – there has been a lot of focus on the danger of a sharp fall-off in corporation tax – there has not been enough attention on a more prosaic risk. This is that growth in the economy and in tax revenue just slows, at precisely the time when the exchequer starts to face significant new bills from an ageing population and climate change. Rather than the kind of dramatic slump in taxes seen during the financial crash, the bigger risk is of a slow squeeze over the next couple of years.
We are hearing a lot of talk of a “technical recession”, with the European Commission estimating a fall in Irish GDP last year and revising down its growth forecasts for this year. Given the distortions of Irish GDP figures – and the ability of the economy in recent years to beat most forecasts – little enough attention is paid to this. Clearly the economy we all live in was not in “recession” last year. But under the bonnet there are clear signs that growth is, indeed, slowing and some concerns relating to the two main engines of the economy.
The long tail of Covid-19 and the surge in inflation is hitting the domestic business sector – talk to anyone running an SME and be prepared to get an earful about “costs”. Some, adding up the numbers, are wondering about their own survival prospects. Meanwhile in multinational-land, Ireland continues to win new foreign direct investment, but there are job losses as well as gains. And there is increased competition now for new investment, including from big EU countries such as Germany. The shortage of houses and problems in the provision of services such as energy and water are big issues. The huge tax contribution of these companies to tax revenues and employment will remain – but it would be unwise to bet on it continuing to increase at the pace we have seen in recent years.
And Ireland has been relying on this growth in corporation tax – and on the income tax coming from people employed in multinationals. This money is not going to stop flowing in, but its growth rate will slow in tandem with a decline in economic growth. And soon enough decisions such as allocating another €500 million to a big project start to look more consequential – and involve foregoing something elsewhere, or finding more tax, as opposed to just reaching down the back of the metaphorical sofa, as is the case at present.
As revolving ministers for finance and public spending, Paschal Donohoe and Michael McGrath have done a remarkable job of keeping the national finances in check. But pressure to spend more is relentless
The entire political debate now is founded on the ability to throw public money around like Smarties – to pay for big projects, give cash to households and businesses and so on. As the election approaches, the promises will pile up. But the Smarties may become scarcer.
As revolving ministers for finance and public spending, Paschal Donohoe and Michael McGrath have done a remarkable job of keeping the national finances in check. But pressure to spend more is relentless. In January, exchequer spending was running more than 16 per cent ahead of the same month last year, while taxes – after adjusting for a technical factor – were running around 6.5 per cent higher. Too much should not be read into one month’s figures, but the forecast surpluses will quickly be eaten into unless spending growth is reined in.
This doesn’t mean resorting to some kind of “do nothing” mindset. Ireland needs to invest massively – in housing, infrastructure, public transport, climate change and so on. The huge rise in the tax base gives the opportunity to do this. But as the public finances get tighter, questions about how to pay for the required level of investment – in part, inevitably, via higher taxes in some areas – and how to get much better at planning and delivery are set to become much sharper. Dealing with the resulting trade-offs will be the central debate in Irish politics in the years ahead.

Film posters have become something of a cult art form in recent times, with places like Mondo and Printclub London releasing film-related screenprint editions and exhibitions. It’s easy to forget how important a role they had to play in the pre-digital era, as they had to capture not only people’s imaginations, but the entire vibe of the film in one single image. There was also the added pressure that the work created will forever be associated with that film.
It is Struzan’s ability to understand the subject matter and capture the mood of a film in his work that makes it so ‘iconic’ for me. His excellent draftsmanship, and life-like portraiture, coupled with his distinctive compositions, are what I think has allowed his work to reach beyond the commercial world of illustration – his work is exhibited in galleries and purchased by art collectors all over the world.
Struzan started out as a staff artist for Pacific Eye & Ear, a design studio based in California, where for fifteen years he painted iconic album covers such as Black Sabbath’s Sabbath Bloody Sabbath (1973) and Alice Cooper’s Welcome to My Nightmare (1975). While his work was being circulated into the mainstream through his album covers, executives in the film industry began to take notice and he was soon being asked to work on film posters.

Updating our last post, former HI Governor Ben Cayetano advanced to a run-off election in the race for Honolulu mayor over the weekend. His opponents, particularly the Hawaii Carpenters Union (operating under the nom de guerre Pacific Resource Partnership), continue to use then-Governor Cayetano’s veto of proposed pay-to-play legislation as a wedge issue.Continue Reading...
The phenomena of outside groups attacking a political opponent with thinly-veiled allegations that he is corrupt is certainly nothing new. Sliming one’s opponent over the airways with allegations that she awarded government contracts to unworthy major donors draws a collective yawn from our now-jaded electorate. What we are seeing in the Honolulu mayoral race right now, however, takes this phenomenon to a new level: mayoral candidate Ben Cayetano is currently under heavy fire for his position on pay-to-play legislation he vetoed as Governor back in 2002.Continue Reading...
Hawaii has joined an ever-expanding list of states which have seen their pay-to-play laws challenged on constitutional grounds. The tension between public (and political) desire for transparency versus freedoms of speech and association has been exacerbated by the recent popularity of expanded pay-to-play legislation. Recent decisions have come down both on the side of those favoringincreased disclosure and regulation and on the side of those challenging the laws as impermissible intrusions on personal liberties. With the recent filing of a legal challenge by famed first amendment attorney James “Jim” Bopp, Hawaii will have its hands full in preserving its pay-to-play law in its present incarnation.
At issue is Hawaii’s prohibition against campaign contributions by government contractors until “completion of the contract”. In challenging the law, the Bopp plaintiffs highlight in their complaint a little-discussed, unintended consequence of such laws that result in exorbitant expenditures of compliance time and resources (mostly in the form of legal fees): “Hawaii’s ban on candidate and noncandidate committees receiving contributions from government contractors means [contractors] must constantly keep track not only of whether it has government-construction jobs but also of whether a single . . . service technician is somewhere providing some minor service on a previous . . . job”. Complaint, p. 10-11.
The battle between regulation, practical reality and freedom of speech is thus joined.
Because Hawaii’s pay-to-play law does not limit itself, as many such state laws do, to prohibition against contribution politicians with authority to determine who receives government contracts, Jim Bopp argues that the law unreasonably impairs speech in pursuit of regulation:
Whatever the merits of banning government contractors’ contributions to candidates or officeholders who decide whether the contractors receive contracts or oversee the contracts, government has no compelling or sufficiently important interest in banning such contributions when the candidates or office holders do not decide whether the contractors receive contracts and do not oversee contracts. Id. at 48 (citations omitted).
The logic and legal foundation for such an argument would appear sound. Whether the federal district and appellate courts will agree with that logic and application of legal principle will remain to be seen. Immediate opposition to the litigation, however, such as this editorial by the Honolulu Star Advertiser editorial board, the appears content to disregard any such subtlety in declaring flatly that “direct contributions to candidates by government contractors certainly do give rise to corruption, which is why Hawaii prohibits ‘pay to play’ contributions to candidates by government contractors.”
Similar opposition by various other groups has also been reported in the media:
[O]pen-government groups -- Common Cause Hawaii, the League of Women Voters of Hawaii, Americans for Democratic Action/Hawaii and Voter Owned Hawaii -- said Bopp's intent is to dismantle campaign finance regulations nationwide.
. . .
"Citizens in Hawaii and across the country support strong pay-to-play laws. Our pay-to-play law was strongly supported by the people of Hawaii when it was first passed, and again when there were attempts later to water it down," Jean Aoki of the League of Women Voters of Hawaii said in a statement. "We know there is something rotten when you mix campaign donations and government contracts. Pay-to-play restrictions are fundamental to prevent corruption in government."
Bribery laws may be “fundamental to prevent corruption in government” -- even narrowly tailored prohibitions against contractor contributions to politicians with authority to award future contracts may be “fundamental to prevent corruption in government” -- but Hawaii’s law in its current incarnation may be a Bridge Too Far to make such a claim.

Can Cats Eat Ice Cream?
Every time I curl up on the couch with my big bucket of ice cream, I can’t help it but notice this look of longing that my cat has in her eyes. It’s like she knows what I am eating is heavenly and she would just love even just a bit. But can cats eat ice cream?
Like any cat owner and lover, you must have the same thought on whether or not to give your cat ice-cream. After all, if it tastes great to you, there is a fair chance that your cat will love it too right?
The Story of Cats and Milk
The truth is, cats have a long history with milk that dates back to the 20th century. Back then, the processed cat food that we know now did not exist. Instead, cat owners would dip brown bread in milk to give to cats for breakfast. In the evening, the cats would get small bits of milk. It is a far cry from the quality cat food that we have now but it got the cats then going.
Around the 1930’s there was a major overhaul in the diet of cats which recommended the exclusion of bread and milk from the cat’s diet. Raw meat became the primary food for most cats. Currently, we rely on processed foods that have a careful balance of nutrients that are essential to the cat’s well-being.
Nonetheless, even with all the dietary changes, you might still notice your cat having some very keen interest on milk. Typically because dairy is the primary product on ice cream, most owners tend to think that if cats are happy lapping up milk, they will more than gladly take on some ice-cream. But is it okay for the cat to gorge on ice cream?
Cats and Ice Cream
It is important to note straight off the bat that your cat will not die or get seriously ill from eating small amounts of ice cream. As for the question of can cats eat ice cream, they can and they will show some interest in it but, there are plenty of other factors that you should be aware of prior to allowing your cat to eat ice cream.
Ice cream contains artificial sweeteners (even for the sugar free variety) some of which (like xylitol) are toxic to dogs but, they don’t have any significant effects on fur balls.
If you wondering can cats eat ice cream because of how great it tastes, you’re wrong. Cats don’t have sweet taste receptors in their tongue and cannot taste all that sugar in ice cream. This does not mean the cat will avoid the taste. It only means they don’t respond to it.
Why do Cats Love Ice Cream?
If you’re observant about your cat, you notice that they seem to have an affinity for ice cream. They seem to like it but, it is not about the sugar. The affair between cats and ice cream is in the ingredients.
You will also notice that cats love whole milk but they always seem to give skimmed or fat free milk the blind eye. They don’t even seem to look interested in frozen yoghurt despite it being another human favourite. So, what is it with cats and ice cream?
Cats are attracted by products that have amounts of carbohydrates and fat content. Ice cream falls squarely in this range and so does whole milk. Even though there are other foods that also have high fat and carbohydrate concentration, cats are used to the consistency of milk hence the preference.
Is Ice Cream Bad for Cats?
Cat’s love ice cream for sure. But, it is not everything you love that is good for you. The same case applies to cats. Your care for your cat extends to more than just what it likes but also what is good for her.
In large quantities, ice cream can be bad for your cat. But, you can give him small amounts of ice cream as a treat very rarely. If too much of the ice cream is given to the cat or little amounts given frequently, there is a fair chance that your cat is going to end up having quite a number of problems. The biggest of them is usually diarrhoea because cats are not able to process lactose very well.
Why are Cats not able to Process Lactose?
Ever since we were kids, cats and milk looked like a match made in heaven. Even as adults, you must have come across quite a number of different images and videos of a kitten happily lapping at a bowl of milk. It seems unthinkable that whole milk would actually be of any harm to the cat.
But, it is. Like their owners, cats also have a lactose intolerance problem. The only difference is, in cats, the problem is more wide spread.
When kittens are young, their bodies are engineered to process milk that is produced by momma cat. At this age, they have plenty of lactase enzymes in their bodies. As they grow up, the production of the enzyme declines as the body prepares to digest other types of proteins.
This means that most cats in their adult age don’t have enough lactase enzymes to process and digest the lactose that is found in milk and in ice cream. This is why, when fed on too much of dairy products some cats will start to diarrhoea. However, not all cats have this problem. There are some cats that don’t have the lactose intolerance problem and have more lactase enzyme than others.
Will Ice Cream Upset my Cat’s Stomach?
Because cats are not able to comprehensively digest lactose, there will be some discomfort in your cat’s tummy. Unlike other compounds, the ice cream that is undigested will remain in fluid form. When it gets in touch with the digestive juices in the cat’s stomach, some of it curdles up and can lead to gas and discomfort for the cat.
The liquid ice cream is passed out with other waste and without a doubt, your cat will have a diarrhoea situation.
Does Ice Cream Pose any Nutritional Problems to the Cat?
There is a difference between eating just about anything and eating things that are vital to your health. One reason why you should not feed ice cream to your cat is because it takes up room in the cat’s stomach and keeps it from eating more nutritious foods that have more benefits to the cat.
On the question can cats eat ice cream frequently? The answer is, it can lead to nutritional deficiencies because they are not able to eat foods that contain taurine, which is very prominent in foods like raw meat. If the cat has malnutrition, you might have to put her on supplements to help get her back in shape.
What Flavours of Ice Cream are Safe for the Cat?
If you’re keen on giving your cat ice cream as a treat, then it would be okay to wonder which flavour would be best for the cat. Ideally, vanilla is a great place to start. To curb the diarrhoea, you might also want to consider giving the cat ice cream made from goat milk since it has different composition.
Strawberry flavour will probably not be any better. Strawberries are non-toxic and are safe for the cat but they will not add any nutritional value to the cat. However, additives like chocolate should not be anywhere close to your cat. Chocolate has a variety of compounds that cannot be processes by the cat and when they build up, they can end up being toxic.
Ice cream does not have any nutritional value and might not be harmful to your cat but as a general rule of thumb, it is better to stay away from it. Instead, you can try this GUND Pusheen Snackable Ice Cream Plush Stuffed Animal for your cat. There are no risks and it will not give your cat a runny stomach but she will have plenty of fun and exercise while playing with it.
There is no question that you can feed your cat some ice cream. However, while doing this, you need to keep a close eye on the amount of ice cream you feed the cat and also for any signs of diarrhoea.

With rent increases that continue to rank among the nation’s highest and scores of tenants who continue to worry about being forced into homelessness, there are plenty of reasons for Sacramentans to be skeptical of the new wave of promises coming from developers who have made so much money in the booming housing market.
As a renter in midtown, I know I am.
So it will be interesting to watch the public reaction to their still-evolving counter proposal to Mayor Darrell Steinberg’s plan to address the affordable housing crisis when the Sacramento City Council takes up the thorny issue at an August workshop.
My prediction? It’s not going to go well.
While the mayor is talking about stabilizing rents for vulnerable tenants and forcing landlords to provide legitimate reasons for terminating leases, developers and their allies in the business community are talking about ways to carve out some of the same regulatory and financial advantages that they’ve enjoyed in midtown and downtown, where high-priced condos and apartment buildings have popped up in recent years.
It’s not that this is their only idea on affordable housing. Far from it.
Like Steinberg, developers wisely support streamlining the city’s cumbersome building permit process, securing loans and matching state funds, passing a tax increase in Measure U that would help replenish the city’s depleted housing trust fund, as well as provide financial aid to renters and affordable housing projects.
But they also want waivers or long-term deferrals of “onerous” building fees for affordable and, tellingly, market-rate housing projects in “disadvantaged” urban neighborhoods near transit. You know the places: Del Paso Heights, near Oak Park and Meadowview, to name a few. These are the neighborhoods where renters who have been priced out of other neighborhoods have ended up, in lieu of being forced out of the city entirely.
The Orwellian-sounding Citizens For Affordable Housing, a coalition that includes, among others, the Sacramento Region Business Association and California Apartment Association, swears it isn’t so, but this sounds an awful lot like a gateway to gentrification.
To advocates of affordable housing, these are fighting words.
“If they’re trying to look for other areas to reduce any type of requirement, there is going to be a huge push back from the community, and it will be a very well-organized and well-funded effort,” said Darryl Rutherford, director of the Sacramento Housing Alliance. “They need to think differently.”
Indeed, they do. And if you’re worried about that, contact your council member. Because just remember how we got here.
Steinberg, in many ways, inherited — and, in one instance, helped create — a mess when he became mayor in 2016. Four years prior, Gov. Jerry Brown, with Steinberg’s help as president of the Senate, eliminated the state’s redevelopment program, tying the hands of cities that saw it as a reliable source of cash to subsidize housing.
Then, in 2015, when residential construction was at a standstill, a desperate City Council scrapped its “inclusionary housing” ordinance, which had forced developers to set aside 15 percent of the units in any project built in a “new growth” area, such as North Natomas, for low-income residents.
Instead, at the urging of a business leaders touting a plan they said would boost the supply of affordable housing, the council swapped the inclusionary requirement for a ridiculously cheap fee that was supposed to fill a trust fund for such projects. Even worse, the council stupidly agreed to a list of exemptions so broad that almost all of the high-density, infill housing projects under construction in the central city over the past three years have been exempt, leaving the fund near empty.
Combine that with a sudden influx of Bay Area refugees, and suddenly we have skyrocketing rents and homelessness. Of the 5,500 housing-unit building permits the city issued between 2015 and 2017, only 98 were for moderately priced apartments or houses.
To mitigate this, developers argue that instead of the 5 percent annual cap on rent increases that Steinberg wants, the city should streamline its building permit process and waive fees — though not the one that supports the trust fund — to make it easier to build more housing. Because Sacramento’s problem is supply, they insist more housing will bring down rental prices overall.
But if downtown and midtown are supposed to offer proof of concept, there’s a problem. While there has definitely been a lot of new construction, it has mostly been the wrong kind of housing — pricey condos and apartments that have only accelerated gentrification.
“We all foresaw this downtown renaissance happening,” Rutherford said. “We said, ‘What are you going to do? Create this exclusionary environment?’”
The answer, unfortunately, has been yes. And now developers and the business community are again promising to deliver affordable housing in exchange for rolling back fees.
Rutherford has other plans. Capitalizing on last year’s passage of Assembly Bill 1505, which reversed a court-imposed ban on inclusionary housing laws, he and other advocates are planning to ask the City Council reinstate the ordinance it scrapped in 2015. But this time, they want it to apply citywide.
That’s likely to irk developers, who historically have argued that such a requirement to add affordable units deters new construction. But given that their alternative could set off a gentrification bomb, what makes far more sense is, in exchange for waiving city building fees, developers agree to a citywide inclusionary housing ordinance and a meaningful increase in the $2.68 per square foot fee that goes into the housing trust fund.
That’s the only way a skeptical public can have a real guarantee that developers will do what they’ve promised — build affordable housing.

Caitlin Duncan. Honda. October 19th , 2017.
Acoustic laminated windshield glass helps reduce noise entering the cabin on EX-L and above trims. Tuned specifically to attenuate wind-, urban- and traffic-noise frequencies, the acoustic windshield uses an outer layer of 2.0 mm safety glass, a 0.7 mm thick middle layer of acoustic polyvinyl butyral (PVB) and a 2.0 mm inner layer for a total thickness of 4.7 mm - an increase over the 4.5mm thickness of the previous-generation Honda Odyssey windshield. This helps the Odyssey place at the top of its class in wind-noise performance.
Once the engine is fully warmed up, for maximum power and fuel efficiency fuel is injected during the intake stroke. This helps create a more homogeneous fuel/air mix in the cylinder that is aided by the high-tumble intake port design. This improves volumetric efficiency, and the cooling effect of the incoming fuel improves anti-knock performance. Every 2018 Odyssey is equipped with an ECON button that helps improve fuel efficiency by modifying throttle mapping and HVAC operation. When the system is operating, a green ECO indicator appears on the instrument panel and the Drive-by-Wire throttle system provides a more gradual response. To save additional energy, the climate control system characteristics are altered based on the conditions. A green coaching light in the instrument display gives the driver feedback to help improve their real-world fuel economy and instant or average fuel economy can be displayed.
The Odyssey Electronic Control Unit (ECU) monitors engine functions to determine the best ignition spark timing. Two engine block-mounted acoustic detonation/knock sensors "listen" to the engine, and based on this input, the ECU can retard the ignition timing to prevent potentially damaging detonation. The engine has an ignition coil unit for each cylinder positioned within each spark plug access bore. To help improve fuel efficiency, the Odyssey Touring and Elite are equipped with Idle-Stop capability. When the system is enabled by the driver and certain operating conditions are met, the Idle-Stop system will automatically shut off the engine when the vehicle comes to a stop. The engine is automatically restarted when the driver releases the brake pedal after a stop, or if the steering wheel is turned. If the Brake Hold system is in use, the engine quickly restarts after the throttle is depressed.
The Odyssey new engine - from the Honda EarthDreams® Technology powertrain series - is rated at 280 peak horsepower and 262 lb.-ft. peak torque. Peak engine output is up 32 horsepower and 12 pound-feet of torque from the previous model, with increased torque over the engine entire operating (rpm) range. The new, more efficient engine and transmissions, along with as much as a 75-pound reduction in vehicle weight (EX-L trim) and improved aerodynamics, among other reductions to running resistance, result in enhanced performance and fuel efficiency. With its 60-degree V-angle, the Odyssey V6 engine is inherently smooth and has compact overall dimensions that allow efficient packaging within the vehicle. The engine has a high-pressure die-cast lightweight aluminum alloy block with cast-in-place iron cylinder liners. Made with a centrifugal spin-casting process, the thin-wall liners are high in strength and low in porosity. The block incorporates a deep-skirt design with four bolts per bearing cap for rigid crankshaft support and minimized noise and vibration. The engine also uses a high-tensile strength steel crankshaft is for minimum weight.

In 1979 August Wilson began writing the first play in what would become his Century Cycle. Over the next two and half decades he wrestled the truth of black experiences first onto the page and then onto the stage. In the ten plays that make up the Century Cycle (or Pittsburgh Cycle), Wilson creates characters that, in his words, “still place their faith in America's willingness to live up to the meaning of her creed so as not to make a mockery of her ideals. It is this belief in America's honor that allows them to pursue the American Dream even as it remains elusive” (New York Times, April 23, 2000).
By exploring black experiences in each decade of the twentieth century, Wilson creates a rich context for understanding current protests for social justice — and for imagining a world where we search for ways of being, of living life more fully.
Scholars and artists from history, art, communication, English, music, theater, and the Unity Center invite you to a series of forums devoted to each play in Wilson’s Century Cycle. Scheduled from August 2020 to May 2021, these forums include presentations, performances, and discussions (via WebEx).
In an essay published in The New York Times in 2000, Wilson wrote, “I wanted to place [black American] culture on stage in all its richness and fullness and to demonstrate its ability to sustain us in all areas of human life and endeavor and through profound movements of our history in which the larger society has thought less of us than we have thought of ourselves.”
Join us as we wrestle with the truth, celebrate this culture, and strive to live up to our American creed.

Top 10 Health Tips for 2020
Everyone wants to live a healthy life.
However, the road to achieving and then maintaining a healthy life is what a lot of people aren’t interested in walking.
Staying healthy requires persistence as ensuring that your body remains sound is an ever-continuing job.
What is health?
Health can be defined as the overall level of functional and metabolic efficiency of a living organism.
When looking specifically at human beings, health can be described as the ability to adapt and self-manage when facing physical, mental, psychological and social changes concerning the environment.
The World Health Organization (WHO), has defined health as, “a state of complete physical, mental, and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity.”
A lot of times, due to various reasons, people fail to realize that our health is our primary asset. We tend to ignore minor headaches or heartaches just to keep up with our busy schedules.
What we don’t take into consideration is the fact that this particular headache can take the form of a migraine or that slight chest pain could convert itself into a heart attack leaving that specific person bedridden.
And yes, once you’re on the bed due to an illness, all you can think about are the things you could’ve done to prevent such an outcome.
- 14 Easy tips for healthy mind
- Lung Cancer | Early Stage To Final Stage and Diagnosis
- Symptoms of Kidney Disease
With the New Year almost here, take the initiative to be better aware of your health.
It doesn’t have to be tough. You can add simple things to your daily routine to help start your journey toward a better you.
Top 10 Health Tips for 2020
1. Embrace a Healthy Diet Plan
People tend to complicate things for themselves when they are told to “eat right” or “eat healthily.” Doing so doesn’t mean that you start adopting a bland diet.
You don’t need to starve yourself to follow a healthy diet. You just need to remember that ‘fad’ diets won’t end up being your friend in the long run.
That’s why it’s essential that you pick up a nutritional plan that provides your body with the energy it needs as well as help you stay on a healthy track.
One such healthy diet plan you can go for happens to be the ketogenic diet – Tasteaholics. This diet is a low carbohydrate but high-fat diet with a lot of health benefits. It doesn’t believe in starving yourself to lose unwanted weight.
A shift in your body due to low carbohydrate intake and increased fat consumption leads to a metabolic state of “ketosis,” from where this diet got its name.
Usually, carbohydrates break down into glucose which is the primary energy source for our body. But in ketosis, our body becomes highly efficient at burning fat for energy. Fat breaks down into ketones which become the primary source of energy for our body, thus, replacing glucose as fuel.
Glucose shows fluctuation in its supply; big spikes which slide into low glucose levels, whereas ketone is a constant source of energy. This trait helps in supplying the uninterrupted body fuel, especially to organs like brain, which consume a lot of energy every day, resulting in better physical and mental functioning.
A ketogenic diet can be eaten indefinitely under an adequately managed program. To summarize, the nutrient intake should be around 70% fat, 25% proteins, and 5% carbohydrates.
It’s all about eating meat, leafy greens, above ground vegetables, high-fat dairy, nuts, berries, and edible oil such as coconut oil – yes, there are many delicious foods from every country, some more healthy than others. You’ll need to stay away from things such as wheat and potatoes.
2. Move more
It is suggested that an individual should get at least 150 minutes of moderate activity per week. This would lead to continual blood flow throughout your body, thus, resulting you to stay healthy as well as deal with any mental stress you might be experiencing.
Try and join a gym in 2018. If you can’t do that, the excellent alternative is to exercise at home by following online weight loss workouts from reliable professionals. You can also clean more around the house to stay active.
Other than that, do small things to stay active such as taking the stairs instead of the elevator or even jogging on the spot while watching TV.
3. Be smoke-free
This is one of the most important steps a person should take toward maintaining a healthy lifestyle. Being smoke-free leads to your body becoming toxin free and saving you from harmful diseases like cancer.
4. Scheduled Sleep
Getting a good night’s sleep should be one of the primary goals that individuals focus on when making a move towards adopting a healthy lifestyle.
How much sleep do you need?
Being able to get up to 7 to 8 hours of sleep, maybe up to 9 hours in some instances leaves an individual feeling fresh and energized when he or she wakes up. This leads to a more focused daily routine, less tiredness and more vitality.
A lack of sleep leads to a lot of problems including health issues and the development of psychological problems like insomnia.
5. Prioritize preventive screenings
This can be achieved by going to follow-ups or regular checkups to your doctor. Doing so provides you with updates on your health and help to indicate if any health problems are on the verge of developing.
Prevention is always better than the required cure, and that is why with health screenings you can be pro-active about your health.
6. Connect with others
Forming bonds and a good social circle can help a person healthily share their emotions and thoughts. Having a support system is great for your mental and physical well-being especially during times of stress.
Tell yourself that you’ll hang out with friends more in 2018. You can even start now if you want.
7. Stay hydrated
We all know about the importance of water, but we don’t prioritize its consumption. A lot of times we go through the day without drinking a single glass of water, opting for tea or coffee instead. Your body needs water to stay healthy. Ensure that in 2018 you start drinking the recommended amount of water, at least 2 liters if not more.
8. Appreciate what you have
Start 2018 by appreciating what you have in life. Take time to smell the roses and be aware of what you’ve achieved in your life. Be grateful for your life experiences, and you’ll find yourself in a more psychologically healthier space.
9. Pick up a hobby
If you don’t have seems to have a hobby already, you should try and pick up one. Also, don’t hesitate to try new things. You can go to a cooking class, a wood workshop, or even decide to do some gardening. The important thing is that you spend some free time doing something that makes you feel good about yourself.
One of the best health-centric things you can do is being more in touch with your inner self. Welcome the meditation in your life. You can join a yoga class, or you can even take out a few minutes from your schedule to just sit down and relax. Concentrate on your breathing and listen to what your body is really experiencing.
As mentioned above, being healthy doesn’t mean you have to stress yourself out. By following some easy tips, you can start your journey toward a better and healthier self.
All of the tips above can be easily incorporated into a person’s daily life. However, the point to note here is that one shouldn’t expect results to show as soon as a person adopts either one or several of the tips mentioned above.
Be patient and understand that all good things come in time

Democrats are so filled with hatred for President Donald Trump and so desperate to regain the White House that they and their media lackeys actually look to NBA coaches for political advice now. Last year there was a failed movement to draft a 2020 presidential ticket of Trump-hating coaches Steve Kerr of the Golden State Warriors and Greg Popovich of the San Antonio Spurs. On July 18, the Huffington Post reported on Kerr bashing Trump and giving the Democrats political advice on how to win back the presidency.
In Ed Mazza's Huffington Post story, Kerr (seen in file photo) "called out the Republican Party ... saying the GOP had 'sold its soul' to President Donald Trump. The eight-time NBA champion also offered some advice for the eventual 2020 Democratic presidential nominee":
Kerr is a frequent critic of Trump's. Last year there was a brief movement — Popovich Kerr 2020 — to draft Popovich (another Trump hater) and Kerr as a presidential ticket for 2020. Both coaches declined the effort, but neither has been shy about blasting Trump and pushing progressive policies. Sports media have given them plenty of coverage whenever they speak out on politics.
Mazza wrote that Coach Kerr also urged congressmen to slam Trump for his racist tweets urging four women of color serving in Congress to “go back” to their countries:
Additionally, Mazza was impressed with Kerr because in 2017 the coach "stood up for athletes who protested during the national anthem after Trump said team owners should fire the “'sons of bitches'”:
“Just think about what those players are protesting,” he wrote in Sports Illustrated. “They’re protesting excessive police violence and racial inequality. Those are really good things to fight against. And they’re doing it in a non-violent way.”

The provincial government is standing by a pledge of $7 million to keep a piece of Island history on the rails.
Transportation and Infrastructure Minister Todd Stone said the province affirms funding to the Island Corridor Foundation to support the E&N rail line, which runs from Victoria to Courtenay.
Stone said the provincial government’s pledge means the railway is one step closer to resuming a fully operational passenger rail service.
In order to receive the provincial money, the Island Corridor Foundation must first confirm $7.5-million in federal funding is in place. It must also show that all upgrade work will not exceed a $20.4-million budget.
But the NDP notes that the commitment does nothing to ensure that the E&N rail line is closer to being restored.
“This is just a confirmation that nothing has changed for the E&N,” Nanaimo-North Cowichan MLA Doug Routley said in a statement. “The Liberal government has restated its commitment, but the underlying problems still exist: Federal money is not in place and there are questions about whether the entire job can be done within the estimated dollar amount.”
Routley said the E&N funding is trapped in a catch-22 — the federal money is dependent upon the return of Via Rail and Via Rail’s return is dependent upon the successful refurbishment of the track. He also noted that the province’s own review of the plan recently concluded that the amount committed will not do the whole job.
“The federal and provincial governments are basically saying ‘We’ll provide the money when you provide the conditions, but the conditions can’t be met without the money.’ And it means the much-needed project is indefinitely stalled,” Routley said.
If the project proceeds, the E&N rail line would offer twice-daily runs from Nanaimo to Victoria, service to Qualicum Beach on Wednesdays and weekends, and service to Courtenay on weekends and statutory holidays.
