What is the most powerful 45 ACP ammo?
Remington 185-Grain Golden Saber +P Due in part to the fact that the Remington Golden Saber features a somewhat-light, 185-grain bullet, it also has the highest muzzle velocity of the ammo on this list.
Those JHP bullets hit hard and offer deep penetration in conjunction with reliable expansion..
How far is a .45 ACP still lethal?
45acp ammo is heavy and subsonic it’s range is limited to 100 yards I would say. While in 9mm most the ammo is supersonic and lighter which lends itself to shooting longer, I would say 200 yards.
Is 45 ACP a good self defense round?
Many shooters like to have the . 45 ACP for home defense. It’s the perfect grab-and-go handgun to fire in close quarters where recoil won’t pose such a problem. Alternatively, the 9mm’s stopping power and smaller design makes it ideal for open and concealed carry.
Will a 45 go through a person?
45ACP was designed for stopping power. A . 45 to the chest would probably not go through the person, but it would knock him down and make him stop whatever he was doing. And that is why it a good choice for police use.
Is the 45 AUTO the same as 45 ACP?
45 auto is and is not. ACP means “Automatic Colt pistol” however, . 45 GAP also exists, or ““Glock Automatic Pistol.”
Is 10mm better than 45 ACP?
45 ACP is an outstanding choice for self-defense. … 45 ACP rounds also makes the cartridge a better choice than the 10mm for general plinking. On the other hand, the 10mm Auto is the clear winner if you want to hunt with a handgun. It shoots a lighter bullet at a much faster muzzle velocity than the .
Is a 10mm more powerful than a 357 magnum?
10mm vs. 357 Magnum is a powerful cartridge, but in this case it takes a narrow 2nd place to the 10mm Auto. 10mm generally packs higher muzzle energies thanks in large part to the larger bullets. Even with similar bullets, however, it appears the 10mm does slightly better.
Will 45 ACP kill deer?
As a hunting cartridge, the . 45 ACP is, well, less than ideal, yet I know those who have used it successfully for deer-sized game at close ranges. In my personal opinion, there are better choices for a hunting handgun cartridge.
Will a 45 kill a wild boar?
A 45 ACP would be OK on hogs under 400 or 500 pounds. Over that and the penetration of the skull and ability to smash shoulder and hips gets questionable. … Buffalo Bore has 325 grain hard cast flat pointed lead bullet at 1,325 fps out of 5 inch barrel that would be a really good round for hogs.
Would a 9mm kill a bear?
Yes, a 9 mm can injure or kill a bear. … The bear will die of his injuries, but he will still have enough life left in him to do you in, before he dies. You will not have a side shot if a grizzly bear is charging you, and most likely your 9mm will only inrage him, and make him try his best to kill you.
What is the deadliest pistol round?
45 ACP and generates a significant amount of recoil. But, for those who can handle both the frame size and the recoil, Marshall’s results have proven that it outperforms even the mighty . 44 Magnum (remember Dirty Harry?) as a self-defense cartridge!
Why 45 ACP is outdated?
45 ACP is an outdated round. … 45 ACP is outdated.” That’s not to say it isn’t effective, or that it isn’t reliable; just that it’s outdated. The . 45 ACP round was developed by John Browning in 1905 and was later adopted by the United States military because it was deemed more effective that the .
What is the most deadliest bullet?
Considered by many as the world’s deadliest bullet, the G2 Research-produced Radically Invasive Projectile is being marketed by the manufacturer as “the last round you will ever need.” And it’s really pretty lethal!
What is a cop killer bullet?
Teflon-coated bullets, sometimes colloquially, also known as “cop killer bullets”, are bullets that have been covered with a coating of polytetrafluoroethylene.
Do police use 9mm or 45?
9mm Resurgence “While many law enforcement departments and agencies still use . 357, . 40, and even . 45 caliber guns, most have already switched or are switching to 9mm,” says Joel Harris, SIG Sauer’s director of media relations and communication.
What does ACP in 45 ACP stand for?
Automatic Colt Pistol45 ACP (Automatic Colt Pistol) or . 45 Auto (11.43×23mm) is a rimless straight-walled handgun cartridge designed by John Moses Browning in 1904, for use in his prototype Colt semi-automatic pistol. After successful military trials, it was adopted as the standard chambering for Colt’s M1911 pistol.
Can I shoot 45 Super in my 1911?
45 Super handgun won’t have any issues. … 1911 pistols are easily converted, needing only a spring kit and a flat-bottom firing pin stop. In some cases, a . 45 Super barrel will be necessary as the case must be well supported when chambered.
Is 45 more effective than 9mm?
Yes, the 9mm Luger shoots a smaller caliber and lighter bullet than the . 45 Auto. However, it shoots it much faster, with much less recoil, and 9mm handguns have a higher capacity. Between these two, shot placement and bullet performance will matter more.

In this study subjects are presented with sequences of heads and tails, derived from flipping a fair coin, and asked to consider their chances of occurrence. In this new iteration of the comparative likelihood task, the ratio of heads to tails in all of the sequences is maintained. In order to help situate participants’ responses within conventional probability, this article employs unconventional set descriptions of the sample space organized according to: switches, longest run, and switches and longest run, which are all based upon subjects’ verbal descriptions of the sample space. Results show that normatively incorrect responses to the task are not devoid of correct probabilistic reasoning. The notion of alternative set descriptions is further developed, and the article contends that sample space partitions can act as an investigative lens for research on the comparative likelihood task, and probability education in general.
Sample space partitions
Egan J. Chernoff has written an article about Sample space partitions: An investigative lens. The article has recently been published in The Journal of Mathematical Behavior. Here is the abstract of Chernoff’s article:

Referring to the possibility that natural selection may work at the level of entire ecosystems, your editorial described as “bleakly reductionist” the prevailing neo-Darwinian view that selection occurs principally at the level of individuals or even genes (9 October 2010, p 5). This phrase might not be out of place in a religious publication but is surely inappropriate in a science magazine.
Science will continue to shed light on how evolution occurs and at what level selection takes place. Whatever the outcome, it is foolish to suggest that one view is bleaker than another. The notion that an ecosystem might have emerged from individuals following simple rules to maximise their fitness in no way detracts from nature’s wonder.

It all started with back to back wins against St. Augustine and Middle Township, two teams that previously defeated the Bulldogs from Bridgeton. With their recent success and due to the rescheduling of the Olympic-Cape Atlantic Challenge, Bridgeton was called upon to replace Pleasantville during the sixth annual tournament held this year at Timber Creek. Bridgeton's Lee Frazier would find success during the fourth quarter to keep one step ahead of the Chargers from Timber Creek. Bridgeton would pull out the upset over Timber Creek by defeating the Chargers 66-58 for their third straight victory.
Bridgeton had been winning games right when they need to with the group playoffs about to begin early next month. The Bulldogs have slipped their way into the tenth seed of the South Group II bracket and will take on the seventh seeded Bulldogs from Glassboro. It will be those teams with momentum going into the tournament that most will have to keep an eye on. Timber Creek found out quickly about that momentum building to start this game. Bridgeton jumped out to an early lead that the Chargers were able to overcome. This tightly match game wouldn’t be decided until the fourth quarter where Frazier’s momentum down the stretch helped Bridgeton outscore Timber Creek by six to pull out the win. Frazier would finish with a game high 18 points and Joe Bunton helped with 15 and Levi Orr with 10 points. Jourdain Blackmon also matched the game high with 18 points and Tyler Hines finished with 12 points for the Chargers.

School holds mock car wreck to show dangers of drunk driving
Published 3:34 pm Thursday, April 10, 2014
On the eve of their school’s prom, hundreds of Chilton County High School students filed into Tiger Stadium for a program Thursday morning, not knowing what they would see on the football field.
In the warm April sunshine, students watched a grim scene unfold as their peers, local law enforcement officers and emergency personnel acted out a mock car wreck on prom night.
Although all aspects of the wreck and aftermath were staged, organizers aimed to make the scene look as real as they could to illustrate to students the dangers of drunk driving.
“We wanted to make it as real as possible,” CCHS teacher Amanda Price said. “We wanted to really blindside them and hit them in the face with it.”
Price is the Students Against Destructive Decisions (SADD) advisor at CCHS and spearheaded this year’s mock car wreck, which is the first one the school has held in nearly 10 years.
“Normally, SADD does an assembly before prom,” Price said. “It’s one thing to talk about it, but it’s another for them to experience it.”
Two ambulances, a fire truck, several police cruisers, civilian vehicles and eventually a hearse carrying the coroner gathered at the scene on the field as students “involved” in the mock wreck narrated the events and described how their lives and their families’ lives changed because of their decisions.
The mock wreck included one fatality, two people sustaining life-threatening injuries and one person arrested for driving under the influence of alcohol.
Screams from the mother of the teen “killed” in the mock wreck echoed in the stadium when police officers told her that her son was dead.
A helicopter landed on the field to pick up a victim with life-threatening injuries for emergency transport to a hospital.
“I hope seeing this that students take it serious,” CCHS teacher Robin Parker said. “I think it’s going to give them something to think about. This really happens.”
Parker said she thinks all high school students in the county should be able to see the program.
“It was really good,” CCHS 10th grader Austin Powell said. “It was touching.”
Eleventh grader Ivory Simon said the mock wreck looked real and added, “Don’t drink and drive.”
Tenth grader Robert White described the scene as “scary.”
“I feel sad about it,” White said.
Price said students signed “prom promises” Thursday to commit not to drink and drive on prom night. She conducted a drawing from the promises to give prizes to the winners.
Price said she received help from many people throughout the county to hold the mock wreck.
Prom Promise Mock Car Wreck sponsors included: Clanton Fire Department, Clanton Police Department, Chilton County Sheriff’s Office, Chilton County 911, BREMS, Marks Towing and Auto Repair, Life Saver Helicopter, Chilton County Coroner’s Office, Regional Paramedical Services, CARE Ambulance Service, Chilton Shelby Mental Health, CCHS Focus, Elite Salon, Hollywood Nails and Clanton Walmart.
“This was a huge undertaking, and I have the support of my administration,” Price said.

In early June the House of Commons Home Affairs Committee published a report called ‘The Work of the UK Border Agency (November 2010 – March 2011)’, which accuses the UK Border Agency (UKBA) of effectively creating an amnesty for hundreds of thousands of asylum seekers whose cases have been delayed for many years.
This is not a new problem, as the asylum system has been bogged down for over a decade in case backlogs, with many applicants waiting several years before a decision is taken on their case. The government has implemented numerous initiatives over time, including ‘certified’ cases (to limit appeal rights) and ‘one-stop’ appeals to prevent failed asylum seekers from using extended appeal rights to prolong UK residence. However, the system remains slow and recent cutbacks to public funding do not give much scope for likely process improvements.
Many media reports have noted the conclusion that the Committee reaches that UKBA’s success in clearing a backlog of around 400,000 to 450,000 unresolved asylum cases has been achieved:
‘Through increasing resorts to grants of permission to stay or the parking of cases in a controlled archive, signifying that the applicant cannot be found and the agency has no idea whether or not the applicant remains in the UK, legally or otherwise.’
The Committee also state that it is ‘indefensible’ that:
‘About 74,500 of the 400-450,000 cases – approximately one in six – the UKBA has been completely unable to trace what has happened to the applicant.’
Finally, the way the backlog has been dealt with effectively mounts to an ‘amnesty’:
‘We understand that ministers would have been unwilling to announce an amnesty for the applicants caught up in this backlog, not least because this might be interpreted as meaning that the UK was prepared more generally to relax its approach towards migration:
“But we consider that in practice an amnesty has taken place, at considerable cost to the tax payer.”’
As to immigration generally, the Committee repeats its view that it is a ‘mistake to include students as migrants unless or until the student makes an application or demonstrates that intention to wish to settle’. It also highlights the problem of hundreds of thousands of immigrants overstaying their visas.
In respect of Tier 2 of the points-based system for immigration (the route that provides for economic migration for employees), the Committee says:
‘It can function effectively only if there is confidence that sponsors will not abuse the system and that anyone who no longer qualifies for leave to remain is compelled to leave the UK.’
The Committee identifies the lack of resources that the UKBA has at its disposal to properly monitor and undertake compliance checks on Tier 2 sponsors.
The immigration minister, Damian Green, responded to the report on 2 June:
‘We have known for some time that the asylum system we inherited was chaotic; some of these cases date back more than a decade and the UKBA was always clear that, because of the length of time that many of these individuals have been in the country, there would be no alternative to granting them leave to remain. There is no amnesty.’
Clearly the minister is seeking to underscore the fact that he inherited his department a year ago and this backlog was created under a previous regime.
Responding to the reports observations on the immigration system in general, Green added:
‘We are already radically reforming the points-based system and other routes of entry that have been subject to widespread abuse, and will reintroduce exist checks by 2015.
We are making greater use of intelligence to remove people with no right to be here and are concluding individual cases faster.’
It appears that confidence in the efficiency of the UKBA remains at a low ebb. Given the need to reduce rather than enhance resources as a consequence of deficit reduction, it is unclear how confidence in the mechanisms of immigration control can be established.

GREAT MEN, GREAT WOMEN: THE PAWNBROKER AT THE FRINGE
The saying goes that “behind every great man there is a great woman.” However, for Herr Bertolt Brecht – the renowned German playwright famous for The Threepenny Opera, Mother Courage and Her Children, and myriad international successes – this is a gross understatement. While scholars and artists universally hail Brecht as the most influential theater practitioner of the 20th Century, up-and-coming playwright Katelin Wilcox credits the impressive array of ladies behind the scenes. The Pawnbroker: Lies, Lovers, and Bertolt Brecht, the New York International Fringe Festival play written and performed by Wilcox, dares to question the greatest figure in modern theater.
Wilcox’s five-character, one-woman piece is an academic examination of Brecht’s career vis-à-vis the important women in his life. While his first wife Marrianne Zoff describes the horrors of his repeated infidelity, his second spouse Helene Weigel laughs at his insecurity and constant need for sexual gratification. Similarly, Brecht’s mistresses and collaborators Elisabeth Hauptmann, Margarete Steffin, and Ruth Berlautell tell tales of his torrid affairs, artistic eccentricities, and ruthless business dealings. Hopping between characters like a thrilling game of Hot Potato, the 70-minute monologue piece contends that Brecht’s true genius may not have been his writing talents; rather, his abilities to network, seduce, and manipulate secured his place in history.
At the center of the story is Brecht the hypocrite. In addition to exposing his extramarital encounters, Wilcox explores the possibility that he plagiarized some of his most famous works. In fact, his assistant and lover Hauptmann may have been responsible for up to 90% of the Threepenny Opera script, despite having received only 12.5% of the profits. Additionally, Weigel scoffs at her communist husband’s deceptively humble wardrobe, calling him “the most expensive, worst-dressed man.”
The production is in capable hands under the direction of Jennifer Curfman, whose knowledge and appreciation of the Brechtianouvre is evident. One of Brecht’s most enduring theoretical contributions to dramatic scholarship is the “alienation effect.” Interested in plays as political platforms, he developed a series of theatrical devices (slide projections, intentionally fake set pieces, frequent academic commentary, et al) aimed to expose the artifice of performance and keep the audience at an objective distance. To this end, Curfman utilizes projected quotes, artificial sound effects, and many of Brecht’s other techniques to show his work in action. The result is an engaging, educational production that is equal parts heartfelt homage and scathing critique.
Wilcox proves equally strong on the page and stage, articulating her intricate text with poise and passion. She shifts between characters subtly but distinctly, using the slightest vocal and physical changes to inhabit Brecht’s five women. However, her real strength is her wit, which shines through in every line.
The Pawnbroker is a fascinating, intellectual examination of the shortcomings of historical narratives, the nature of genius, and the dangers of idolatry. In the tradition of its subject, Wilcox’s piece asks its audience to set aside their preconceptions and maintain an objective eye.
The Pawnbroker: Lies, Lovers, and Bertolt Brecht plays at the New York International Fringe Festival Venue #12 64 East 64th Street through August 23rd. Tickets can be purchased online at www.fringenyc.org.

Our song Freak Show calls out the mainstream media for what it is.....a FREAK SHOW! Since we see what a joke it is, we had to write this song that makes you want to scream, jump around and laugh while pointing at the clowns behind the mainstream agenda
The song was written during what seemed like an endless struggle with depression. It’s about acting with strength when you feel weak and finding power when you’re powerless. When the walls around you feel like they’re closing in, you need to have the belief that you can fight your way out.
With our track, 'Beautiful Monsters', we hope to address the conflict created by those that fill our loves with chaos and rising above adversities of a world that seems closer to throwing itself over the edge!

The cash registers are ringing and a young coach is in charge of ‘massive rise in professionalism’, writes Paul Radley.
Last season, a fixture between what was then the Dubai Wasps and Dubai Exiles was a battle of the also-rans.
How times change. When the two clubs reacquaint themselves at The Sevens this evening, it will be a confrontation between the corporate bigwigs of the domestic rugby scene.
The nominal home side at the shared home venue are now known as Xodus Wasps, reflecting a new sponsorship deal penned in the summer with an energy consultancy group.
The terms of the agreement allowed Wasps to transform the way they approached training and preparation over the off-season.
Instead of scrapping with the rest of the public for patches of land at Zabeel Park, they have been able to train under the professional guidance of Apollo Perelini at Repton School.
Their fund-raising drive has also brought them to the brink of an agreement to sell Wasps replica shirts in some of the country’s major sports stores.
Bearing in mind many Arabian Gulf League professional football clubs are still some way off doing the same, it is quite a feat for a three-year-old amateur rugby club.
Their new financing might have helped bridge the gap of 40-odd years of experience to their opponents today, had the Exiles not been investing in a similar programme themselves.
The city’s oldest and largest club agreed to a seven-figure deal with AIG, the same sponsors who back New Zealand rugby.
These are heady days for finance departments within club rugby. Not long ago, the representative team for the region could not sell the space on the front of their shirts for international matches, even after resorting to eBay.
“I believe the future of rugby in the Gulf region is rapidly gaining momentum,” the Wasps chairman Craig Gibson said.
As evidenced by the AIG and Xodus deals, he said.
“This clearly shows there is a wider interest in the platform, and I believe it will continue to spur growth in the game, the quality of players, and the competitiveness of games, particularly across the top-tier clubs in the Gulf.”
Commercial savvy will get a club so far, but Wasps have been as busy in the recruitment market as they have in the boardroom over the summer months.
Among a raft of new recruits at Wasps are two players formerly on the books of English Premiership clubs, Oliver Turton and Josh Ives.
The playing squad has been bolstered further by the arrival of Victor Sudi, a former captain of the Kenya sevens side, and his colleague from the World Sevens Series, Victor Odour.
Overseeing the emergence of the side on the field is the youngest head coach in the domestic game, Laurence Parker, who is just 24.
“Having such talented players coming in has made training far easier,” Parker said.
“We have seen a massive rise in professionalism from our team. Even just making the effort to wear our Xodus Wasps kit to training has set a tone. The boys are giving themselves a hard time if they drop the ball or don’t do well at training, so it has really increased the standards.”
Parker says the aim for the new campaign is to break in to the established top four, and not necessarily just by inching into it. “Our aim is top four, but preferably a top-three finish,” the coach said.
“We obviously know who the strongest two teams are in this league [Jebel Ali Dragons and Abu Dhabi Harlequins], but we are confident if everything goes right, we can break into the top four.
“If you want to be the best team in the Gulf you have to beat the best teams and we want to put ourselves in the position to do that.”

(1) Due to Green Revolution (GR) miracle seeds known as HYV (High yielding variety) have been adopted by the farmers in some LDCs at a high rates. As in Pakistan about 73% of wheat was sown with “Mexican” seed of wheat during 1969-70. Same is the case with Philippine. But neither the size of the farm nor the land tenure system has ever become the constraint in the way of use of HYV.
(2) The size of the farm, the shortage of current supply and other complementary inputs did not check the adoption of new technology.
(3) It has also been found that the introduction of HYV technology has led to a rise in the demand for farm labor. As the case of inflow of labor from other sectors of the economy to agriculture sector during harvesting and sowing seasons. This has also increased the real wages of the labor. However, if GR is attached with farm mechanization and tractorisation the employment opportunities will decrease and the wages will fall.
(4) The adoption of HYV has widened the disparity in income distribution. As the big land lords have been benefited more as compared with small peasants. Furthermore GR has also increased the income differentials between the regions within the same country. As in case of Pakistan some regions are more prosperous than other, e.g. the Sahiwal area is more fertile and prosperous as compared with Mianwali. Hence, the impact of GR on fertile region will be more than non fertile or less fertile region. The followings are the reasons for differential rates of growth in agriculture in Pakistan, Thiland and Philippine.
(i) Difference in availability of water and irrigation facilities.
(ii) Different levels of fertilizers use at right time and in right amount.
(iii) Differential flow of information regarding HYV seeds and their inputs.
(iv) Difference in the availability of new varieties of seeds, fertilizers and pesticides.
(5) Difference in nature and attitude of farmers towards the risk and uncertainties. This is because when there is a high risk in the adoption of modern technology, farmers are reluctant to abandon the outdated technology. It is shown with the help of Fig.
Here the line MCN denotes the minimum consumption need. It is fixed, if the level of consumption is lower than this, it means famine and death. The line MDC stands for minimum desirable consumption. This slopes upward slowly. This represents the change in attitude due to economic growth etc. Small farmers attitude towards risk and uncertainties will be determined by his traditional production function. We take two types of farmers advanced – A and backward – B. The B’s production remains close to MCN but A’s production has increased slowly and it is above MCN and close to MDC. It shows that A farmer is a risk taker in adopting new techniques as compared with B. So as long as A farmer lives hand to mouth, he cannot afford risk. The govts. of UDCs do not provide any assurance to small farm holders against risk. Moreover, the returns to the cultivators are low because of traditional marketing etc. Hence, the risk taking will remain missing.
(6) The introduction of HYV has resulted in decreasing the prices of food grains. Furthermore due to GR the cultivable area will increase. The double or multiple cropping system will become possible.

Keeping global temperatures from rising by more than two degrees will cost a lot, but the world’s poorest countries should not have to suffer in order for the bill to be paid, writes Lies Craeynest.
Lies Craeynest is Oxfam EU policy advisor on climate change and global food security.
Finance Ministers are meeting on Tuesday (10 November) to agree what the EU will offer in financial support for climate action in developing countries. This is a pivotal meeting just a few weeks ahead of COP 21 in Paris, the most important climate summit of recent years.
While we do not need to tell European governments that climate finance will be crucial to help seal the strongest global climate deal possible, it’s vital they acknowledge that these funds do not need to come from development aid budgets already stretched to the limit.
Even if world leaders in Paris agree to commit to limit global warming to two degrees, large sums of financial support will be needed to adapt to the inevitable consequences of climate change: Africa is expected to face costs of $50 billion a year by 2050 under a two-degree scenario – that is equivalent to half of all today’s aid.
In Paris, poor countries will rightly ask for greater predictability of financial support, because the current year-on-year commitments are insufficient, depend too much on yearly political decisions, and don’t allow for long-term planning. Dedicated new revenue streams, distinct from national budgets are needed to provide predictable flows of climate finance, with long-term visibility.
Leading figures across the world such as IMF head Christine Lagarde, UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-Moon, French president Francois Hollande and Pope Francis have highlighted the importance of a credible financial support package for Paris. The latest addition to join the choir of voices are 11 international business organisations, calling on finance ministers to ensure the money promised to developing countries is delivered.
Without this, the climate deal in Paris may be at risk, and will at best end up as an agreement known for turning its back on poorer countries vulnerable to climate change.
Some EU member states have in the past months made important steps on the Copenhagen promise to deliver $100 billion annually by 2020 for climate action in developing countries. But even these new climate finance announcements are consistently raised from within aid budgets, which already now in most EU countries do not meet the agreed target to contribute 0.7% of GNI as aid.
Currently, we do not see any plan to stop the practice of paying for both climate and development challenges with this 0.7% commitment, which EU leaders have given themselves another 15 years to meet – arguing that times are tough and we cannot afford more.
Nevertheless, member states continue to fuel climate change with fossil fuel subsidies of at least €35 billion a year, according to environment Commissioner Karmenu Vella.
This contradictory EU approach cannot be a vision to be sold in Paris. The time is ripe for the EU to provide new leadership, cut down on fossil fuel subsidies and re-engage in mobilising innovative sources of public finance that are not dependent on limited aid budgets.
At COP 21, a strong signal to developing countries is needed that after 2020, when the agreement to be reached in Paris kicks in, public climate finance will continue to increase.
A particular focus needs to be on scaled up public support – not loans or private sector leveraging – for adaptation, through a clear, standalone goal for public finance for adaptation in the Paris agreement, to be reviewed in regular cycles.
The clearest signal the EU can give in Paris that it will provide additional support for adaptation is through setting up a new funding mechanism within the EU’s polluter-pays scheme, the EU Emissions Trading Scheme (EU ETS).
The EU ETS is currently being revised for the 2020-2030 period, so timing is perfect. The European Parliament already called on EU leaders to use the EU ETS to provide additional support for climate action in poor countries, urging them to set aside emissions allowances for climate finance and the Green Climate Fund.
EU leaders have agreed to continue to give the industry billions worth of free pollution permits in the next ETS trading period, as well as to set up two new funds filled with emissions allowances – one to support industry innovation, and one to support the energy transition in poorer EU countries.
Hence, there is no excuse not to set up an extra fund to help developing countries cope with the impacts of the pollution covered within the EU ETS. Progress on this issue would be a game changer for climate finance. Through an EU level set-aside, managed for example by the European Investment Bank, the EU could dedicate a portion of the revenues from auctioning directly into the Green Climate Fund.
Oxfam estimates that a set-aside of 10% of ETS allowances would raise almost €35bn over the period 2021-2030, resulting in on average over €3 billion a year. This would triple the EU’s current contribution to the Green Climate Fund.
Using the revision of the EU’s own polluter-pays mechanism can send a powerful signal internationally that it will offer post-2020 climate finance guarantees to developing countries. What is more, it would show the way for the many carbon pricing approaches that are currently being set up across the world, and give the EU the chance to be a real leader for a climate deal that takes the poorest countries on board.

Most children will need pain medications for the first month. Usually it takes a month or two for your child to fully recover and resume normal activities. Your child’s pediatric surgeon can advise as to what sports are allowed.
What does the procedure involve?
After your child receives general anesthesia, the surgeon makes two small lateral incisions on each side of the chest. Using a thoracoscope (small diameter telescope) to visualize the chest, a C-shaped bar is inserted subcutaneously through two small lateral incisions. The bar is located at the point of maximum protrusion, placed in front of the sternum and fixed in a compressing position to the ribs on either side. The bar is normally removed after two to three years during an outpatient procedure.
How many incisions are made?
Two small lateral incisions are made on either side of the chest to insert the bar.
How long will my child stay in the hospital?
Children will normally have to stay four to seven days in the hospital.

As the legal case against BlackBerry maker Research In Motion drags on, RIMs competitors have begun to turn their litigious attention on each other.
Visto on Jan. 31 announced that it is suing Good Technology for patent infringement.
The suit, alleging infringement of four wireless e-mail patents held by Visto, was filed in the U.S. District Court in the Eastern District of Texas. The suit alleges that several of Goods products, including Goods signature GoodLink push e-mail server, infringe on Vistos patents.
“Vistos commitment to providing our customers with world-class remote e-mail and data access services depends on our ability to protect the intellectual property that we worked tirelessly to develop almost a decade ago,” said Brian Bogosian, chairman and CEO of Visto, in a statement.
Good officials declined to comment.
Visto is not new to lawsuits. The company sued RIM competitors Infowave and Seven in Sept. 2003. Infowave settled with Visto out of court; the case with Seven is expected to go to trial in the Eastern District Court of Texas in a few months, Visto officials said.
More recently, Visto filed against Microsoft on December 15, alleging that Microsofts Windows Mobile 5.0 operating system also infringed on Vistos patents.
Meanwhile, on Dec. 14, Visto signed a technology licensing agreement with NTP, the patent-holding company suing RIM for patent infringement. NTP also has licensing agreements with Good, and holds stakes in both Good and Visto.
“We took this step primarily because we wanted people to be able to use our products without having to worry,” said Daniel Méndez, co-founder and senior vice president at Visto.
“We didnt spend a lot of time figuring out what the merits were. We just wanted to make sure our customers were protected … We remain the company that is unencumbered from IP litigation and we offer our customers something that nobody else can offer.”
That said, NTP also has licensing agreements with Good, and holds stakes in both Good and Visto.
NTP sued RIM for alleged patent infringement on nine wireless e-mail patents in 2001.
U.S. District Judge James Spencer ruled in favor of NTP in 2003, instructing RIM to halt its sales of BlackBerry devices and services in the United States until NTPs patents run out in 2012.
Spencer stayed the ruling, however, pending appeal. Since then, the case has gone through several appeals and failed settlement attempts.
In the meantime, the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office has spent months re-evaluating several of the disputed patents. The USPTO has indicated that it intends to reject all of NTPs claims eventually, which would make the case null and void, and RIM officials have remained publicly positive that this will happen.
Industry experts said the process could take several months, though, as NTP has voiced plans to appeal every decision it can. Judge Spencer has said he does not intend to wait for the Patent Office before he issues a final ruling.
On Jan. 23, the Supreme Court refused to hear RIMs appeal to stay the case pending the Patent Offices decisions. On Jan. 25, Judge Spencer set a Feb. 24 hearing date in the Eastern District Court of Virginia to consider a possible injunction that could shutter BlackBerry service.
Mendez said Vistos patent claims are, well, patently different from NTPs.
“Sometimes there are inventions like this that are so large that there are multiple pieces that people touch on,” he said. “Regarding our patents, I can tell you that they in general discuss the ability to have remote synchronization.”
This bothers some industry observers.
“The problem I have is that synchronization has been used in many other areas of technology [e.g. databases] and should be an obvious evolution from that space,” said Ken Dulaney, vice president of mobile computing at Gartner, a technology consultancy.
“Whether these will ever amount to anything is a long way off.”

- Contains nitrogen and phosphorus for fast-growing and demanding plants
- Also contains iron, manganese and vital micro nutrients
- Suitable for aquariums with many and fast-growing plants.
Sizes available: 125ml, 300ml, 750ml
How to use the product
Specialised Fertiliser is added each week when the water is changed. Tropica recommend 5 mL per 50 L water. However, it's recommended that this is set in accordance with plant requirements. Specialised Fertiliser contains, in addition to micro-nutrients, all essential macro-nutrients. The fertiliser is particularly suitable where plants display a lack of nutrition. However note that if algae growth starts, Specialised Fertiliser will promote this growth.
Specialised Fertiliser contains nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P). Dosage must therefore be adapted to plant absorption rates, to avoid undesirable algae growth. Where signs of algae growth develop, reduce the dosage by 50% and increase water changing frequency by 50%. Changing the water not only reduces the concentration of nutrients in the water, but also removes algae spores, remnants and other accumulated elements from the aquarium water.

CPNB Foundation The Chabot family
NOS Nieuws•vandaag, 15:02
The Book Week Gift 2024 is not written by one author, but by an entire family. All members of the Chabot family – father and mother Bart and Yolanda and the four sons Sebastiaan, Maurits, Splinter and Storm – contribute. This was announced by the Collective Propaganda Foundation for the Dutch Book (CPNB). Next year’s Book Week theme is ‘In our family’.
Bart Chabot: “We have often been asked to make something together as a family, but we have always said no. But we simply could not say no to the exciting and unique plan to give color to the Book Week together. It is the greatest and highest honor. And it was such a joy to write together.”
The Book Week Gift will be entitled Family Packaging. Bart Chabot and his sons Sebastiaan, Maurits and Splinter have written books before. It is their debut for mother Yolanda and youngest son Storm.
Not a Book Week essay
The foundation is also pleased. “I am extremely proud that the – literally – largest family of writers in the Netherlands is writing the gift together for the 89th Book Week,” says CPNB director Eveline Aendekerk. “In my opinion, there is no better fit with the theme ‘In our family’. The love for reading and books radiates from the Chabots and we traditionally celebrate exactly that love during Book Week.”
Not only the choice for an entire family is new in the history of Book Week. There will also be no Book Week essay next year for the first time since 1987.
Instead, a poetry collection has now been chosen, entitled Ooievaarsblues, also by Bart Chabot. This collection contains both old and new work by the Hague writer and poet.
The CPNB Foundation calls family and family life “an inescapable and central theme in Bart Chabot’s poems”. Before Book Week, another Book Week poem will be unveiled.

The cover of the poetry collection ‘Ooievaarsblues’, designed by Anton Corbijn
Unlike usual, the covers of the Book Week Gift and the theme edition were unveiled in the family’s favorite Scheveningen beach bar. For example, artist Marlene Dumas made a portrait of Chabot’s deceased dog Bril for the gift at the request of Bart Chabot. Photographer and graphic designer Anton Corbijn made the cover of the poetry collection.

The more sane solution would be to raise security awareness among the population. That way new systems might be designed with simplicity in mind. Most security homes in companies come from companies having to complex systems they cannot manage any more.
Imagine a company building where every office has it's own outside door, going through an elaborate labyrinth of hallways. That would be a nightmare to secure. How would you know which doors are open? How would you check them all? That's why office buildings typically have a small number of exits. Those keep the complexity of security down.
Yet people happily build security critical systems on operating systems to complex for them to understand. That's why even documented features can be used to break security barriers just because the designers didn't understand the security implications of, let's say a help dialogue or the "icon" feature of a link-file.

Writer Lloyd Alexander, best known for his fantasy series The Chronicles of Prydain and other books for young adults, passed on May 17. He was 83 years old and had been fighting a long battle with cancer.
Lloyd Alexander was born in Philadelphia on January 30, 1924. His parents were not exactly supportive of Alexander's decision to be a writer at age 15. They enrolled him in a local college, where he attended for only one term. During World War II he served in the U. S. Army in intelligence and counterintelligence. While he was in the Army he was stationed in Wales, whose myths and legends would serve as the basis for many of Alexander's books. Following his stint in the Army, Alexander attended the University of Paris.
In 1955, Lloyd Alexander's first book, And Let the Credit Go, was published. Unlike his later novel, this novel was an autobiographical satire. Alexander would publish six more books before the first book in The Chronicles of Prydain, The Book of Three, in 1964 would make his famous. The Chronicles of Prydain would become his most successful works. He would even receive the Newbery Medal for the final novel in The Chronicles of Prydain, The High King. The novels are set in Prydain, essentially a fantasy version of Wales (although, as Alexander always emphasised, it is distinct from Wales). The protagonist of the series, Taran, begins as assistant pig keeper to Hen Wen, the oracular sow who originally belonged to the warrior Coll. The series draws heavily upon Welsh mythos, including such characters as Gwydion and High King Math. The Disney film The Black Cauldron was based on The Chronicles of Prydain.
Following The Chronicles of Prydain, Alexander would write The Westmark Trilogy. Taking place in the fictional kingdom of Westmark, the novels were heavily influenced by French existentialist writers and for the most part darker than The Chronicles of Prydain. He would also write a series of novels centred around the character of Vesper Holly, essentially a female version of Indiana Jones.
Although less famous than either J. R. R. Tolkien and C. S. Lewis, I always thought that Lloyd Alexander was equally talented. I read The Chronicles of Prydain while I was growing up and as a young adult, and they always impressed me as inventive and original. With Prydain Alexander created a world as complex as Middle Earth or Narnia. What set it apart is that while Middle Earth drew heavily upon Germanic myths and Narnia drew heavily upon Christian themes and classical myths, Prydain was based around the Welsh mythos. This gives it a different flavour from any other fantasy series around. In fact, I am rather surprised that in the wake of The Lord of the Rings films that no one has snatched up the rights to do a series of live action feature films based on The Chronicles of Prydain. Lloyd Alexander was certainly a talented writer and he will be sorely missed.

A former aide to President Obama has a not-so-modest proposal making waves across Washington — at least among reporters: Kill the daily White House press briefing.
Reid Cherlin, a former assistant press secretary under Obama, writes in the New Republic that the daily, televised back-and-forth between the president’s top spokesman and the White House press corps has been rendered obsolete. He says both reporters and Obama administration officials approach the ritual with open disdain.
Cherlin shares a few nuggets that have long been acknowledged by reporters who make the daily pilgrimage to 1600 Pennsylvania Ave.
“The goal is to make it through without inciting an international crisis or stepping on the president’s cheery message of the day, and then to return to the office and get down to actual business, including figuring out which of the administration’s three favored outlets — The New York Times, AP and Mike Allen’s 'Playbook'— will get advance word” of major developments, he writes.
And Cherlin offered a blunt critique of Robert Gibbs and Jay Carney, the two men tasked with carrying the president’s megaphone during the last four and a half years.
“Gibbs and current Press Secretary Jay Carney differ in style — Gibbs often made me cringe by ignoring the talking points; Carney makes me cringe by using them — but the effect is the same, which is to say, ridiculous,” he wrote.
White House briefings became more theatrical after they were televised, which started under President Clinton. Reporters have complained that administration officials are much less candid when the cameras are rolling. White House aides often accuse reporters of looking for the perfect soundbite rather than eliciting important details.
However, some journalists threw cold water on Cherlin’s suggestion, at least until they are presented with a viable alternative.
“Every White House reporter gets fed up with the briefings; it comes with the job,” said a veteran of the White House press corps, who started covering the beat during the Clinton years. “But eliminating the daily briefing wouldn’t make sense unless we had assurances that they would replace it with something where they give answers on the record. I don’t see that happening.”
“Yes, let’s come up with another way for them not to talk to us,” quipped another White House reporter.
And others took to social media to air their gripes about what the briefing has become. Still, most weren’t ready to spike the televised routine.
“Without question, the daily WH press briefing is flawed & too often provides canned responses or evasions to important questions,” Mark Knoller, a White House correspondent for CBS News tweeted. “Let the WH press secretary continue to prepare for the questions he’ll/she’ll face. A bad briefing is better than none at all.”
Carney, who took over as press secretary in early 2011, has gotten more skillful in deflecting reporters’ queries. In fact, Yahoo News recently compiled a list of the “top 9,486 ways Jay Carney won’t answer your question.”
Carney was not asked about the New Republic article during the daily briefing with reporters on Tuesday.
And just for the record, the Washington Examiner has a seat in the briefing room and attends the press conference every — or nearly every — day.

Volunteers will walk around the clock in the battle against cancer when the eighth annual American Cancer Society Relay For Life of Tamarac/N. Lauderdale gets underway. Teams of residents will be gathering at Millennium Middle School in Tamarac on May 17-18 where opening ceremonies begin at 6 pm.
Because cancer does not discriminate, the Relay brings people together of all ages and all walks of life for a common cause: fighting cancer.
The 18-hour event represents the struggle a cancer patient endures during their treatment. The setting sun at the end of the day symbolizes the time when a patient has been diagnosed, and the early morning hour of 1 am represents the time when a cancer patient is exhausted from starting treatment. While the walkers are exhausted from walking all evening and may even want to go home., the sun rising represents the end of treatment for the cancer patient. They see the light at the end of the tunnel and realize they can make it after all.
“I have relayed in the past but never really understood the significance until I was diagnosed with breast cancer last year. I look forward to walking the Survivor Lap with my family and friends at Relay.” said Team Development Chair Tara Piatek.
Relay is a family fun event with bounce houses, food, activities and much more that will be available throughout the night. All proceeds from the evening benefit the American Cancer Society.
Cancer survivors will be honored during the Survivor Lap/Dinner that begins at 6:30 pm. A Luminaria Ceremony will be held at 9 pm to honor those who have won their battles with cancer and remember those that lost theirs. Luminaria bags are purchased in honor of someone or in memory of a loved one. They are lit during the ceremony with a candle inside.
For more information, please call Julie Fishman at 954-461-1311 or Tara Piatek at 954-812-3050. www.relayforlife.org/tamaracnlfl or you can find them on Facebook.

The Berger Hunting bullet line features VLD match grade bullets that have the highest possible ballistic coefficient designed for 300 yards or more. Berger recommends that the bullets be seated to touch the rifling for best accuracy. Note, however, that the resulting cartridge overall length may be too long for some magazines. The VLD design incorporates a sharp nose that allows the bullet to penetrate 3" to 5" before it starts to expand. After the initial expansion, the bullet will shed between 40% and 85% of its weight as shrapnel into the surrounding tissue (internal organs). The combination between the shrapnel and the hydrostatic shock produces a massive wound cavity within the vital area that will be 13" - 15" long. This is not loaded ammuntion.
- Caliber: 30 Caliber
- Bullet Diameter: 0.308"
- Bullet Weight: 168 Grains
- Bullet Length: 1.265"
- Bullet Style: Hunting VLD Hollow Point Boat Tail
- Recommended Twist Rate: 1 in 13" or faster
- Bullet Coating: Non-Coated
- Sectional Density: 0.253
- Ballistic Coefficient: 0.473

I tried this bullet recently in my 300 RUM and found it to be extremely accurate. Pairing it with a 98gr charge of Retumbo it will consistently shoot 1/2 to 3/4 inch groups at 100 yards. I am looking forward to stretching this round out to see what it does at longer distances.

Christopher Mio and Meghan Hoople found themselves jobless and wanting to help in the wake of COVID-19 isolation in Toronto. After flyering their neighbourhood with a free-of-charge offer, they received an outpouring of support and requests from people in need.
The Globe and Mail
The coronavirus has disrupted the most basic element of city life: coming together. The question now is, When social distancing is done and we’re allowed to go back outside, will we want to? In the history of cities, there’ve been moments where illness or the fear of it have helped drive people apart physically. And after 30 years in which higher density was the central ideal in city planning, there is a possibility that urbanism will start spinning outward once again.
Whether that happens will depend on how we think of cities and of public space. In truth, people can ride out COVID-19 just as well in downtown Montreal or Vancouver, with their excellent medical care, as in suburban or rural places. But do we believe that? Will some of us fear being around other people?
The virus that causes COVID-19 is spread through airborne droplets by coughing or sneezing, through touching a surface those droplets have touched, or through personal contact with infected people.
Wash your hands frequently and thoroughly
The World Health Organization recommends regular hand-washing and physical distancing – that is, keeping at least two metres from someone with a cough. If you have to cough or sneeze, do it into your sleeve or a tissue, not your hands. Avoid touching your eyes, mouth or nose if you can.
The CDC says to frequently clean dirty surfaces with soap and water before disinfecting them.
- If you show symptoms of COVID-19, seek medical attention and do what your health-care provider recommends. That may include staying home from work or school and getting lots of rest until the symptoms go away.
COVID-19 is much more serious for older adults. As a precaution, older adults should continue frequent and thorough hand-washing, and avoid exposure to people with respiratory symptoms.

This isn’t a technical question; it’s a cultural one. Today our society is mostly suburban. Most North Americans live in places that are physically spread out, and need a car to comfortably cover the distances. But why do we prefer this? It has something to do with ideas of illness.
Disease was a real factor in shaping the physical form of cities. First, around 1900, came the concern for “overcrowding” among the poor in industrial cities. This began with outbreaks of airborne illnesses such as tuberculosis. Urban reformers and public officials, including those in the newly powerful field of public health, saw danger: big households living in dirty and crowded conditions.
“Today, we want to create social distance,” says Richard White, a historian of urban planning who teaches at the University of Toronto. “This is similar to what the health officers wanted in the 1890s, except they called it ‘reducing overcrowding.’“
Their ideas were based on the new science of germs, but also on pseudo-scientific and racist ideas about behaviour. In Toronto, the young William Lyon Mackenzie King wrote about the immigrant hub of St. John’s Ward for The Mail and Empire, The Globe’s predecessor. Speaking of a group of Syrian immigrants, he wrote in 1897, “The men are lazy and inclined to be dirty and quarrelsome.”
Being physically dirty and being morally compromised were the same thing. This kind of thinking was common, and it forms a dark prehistory of urban planning. “Slums” were part of the past. The 20th-century future was in modern buildings surrounded by light and air. Sometimes that meant social housing.
But more often it meant private housing in suburban neighbourhoods. Since the 1940s, the basic pitch of suburban housing has been that it offers plentiful green space, light and fresh air. This comes with a corollary: distance from other people.
These ideas are tricky to unpack, especially because they are now buried behind more polite language. As late as the 1970s, politicians used the term “blight” to describe urban problems. We don’t talk that way anymore, outside of talk radio, but the sense that the city is sick is still with us.
And now that idea might push us apart. We’re at a moment in Canadian urbanism when more of us are learning to enjoy living together. Urban density is ascendant. In our most expensive cities, we’re building more apartments than houses. The entire planning profession believes – or at least claims to – that we benefit from living closer together, in neighbourhoods with a mix of things within walking distance. For the climate, for more efficient public services, for better options, “dense urbanism is clearly superior,” White says.
City life – or the version of it that suburban cities such as Brampton, Ont., and Surrey, B.C., are trying to deliver – relies on shared space. It thrives on public transit, in busy parks and libraries, in bustling shops and crowded restaurants.
There will come a time when COVID-19 is under control, and when public health officials tell us it’s safe to go out again. But we’ll need to choose to do so.
If we don’t do that, the effects of the coronavirus could be with us for years and decades to come. The marks of the virus would be more highways and more houses, fenced off from each other and scattered apart, a landscape that’s alive but not entirely healthy.
The spread of the novel coronavirus that causes COVID-19 continues, with more cases diagnosed in Canada. The Globe offers the dos and don'ts to help slow or stop the spread of the virus in your community.

Consider Your Neckline
Choosing a necklace that complements your neckline is essential for enhancing your overall look. For instance, if you’re wearing a V-neck top or a scoop neck shirt, a pendant necklace like our Picture Necklace will accentuate your neckline and draw attention to your collarbone.
Match Your Style
Your necklace should reflect your personality and style. If you prefer understated elegance, a classic chain necklace is a perfect choice. On the other hand, if you love bold statement pieces, our Picture Necklace with its customizable photo pendant will make a striking statement.
Consider Your Skin Tone
Your skin tone determines the best color for your necklace. Cool skin tones look best with silver, white gold, or platinum necklaces, while warm skin tones suit gold and rose gold necklaces. Our Picture Necklace comes with various metal options to match your skin tone and personal style.
Think About the Occasion
The occasion plays a critical role in choosing the right necklace. For casual events, a simple pendant necklace like our Picture Necklace works well. For formal or dressy occasions, select a statement necklace that will add glamour to your outfit.
Consider the Length
The length of your necklace affects your overall appearance. Longer necklaces elongate your torso, while shorter necklaces emphasize your neck and collarbone. Our Picture Necklace comes with various chain lengths, so you can choose the perfect length for any occasion.
Match Your Outfit
Your necklace should complement your outfit, not clash with it. If you’re wearing a patterned or busy top, choose a simple necklace like our Picture Necklace with a single pendant. If your outfit is plain, you can wear a statement necklace to add interest.
Consider Your Face Shape
The shape of your face affects the best style of necklace for you. For instance, a long, narrow face looks best with shorter, chunkier necklaces, while round faces suit longer necklaces. Our Picture Necklace with its customized pendant can be adapted to suit any face shape.
In conclusion, choosing the perfect necklace involves several factors that contribute to your overall style and look. At Picture Necklace, we offer a wide range of customizable necklaces to match your personal style and occasion – so you can find your perfect match.
