Suspected pulmonary embolism safely ruled out in some pregnant women with diagnostic algorithm
WEDNESDAY, March 20, 2019 (HealthDay News) — A pregnancy-adapted algorithm can safely avoid diagnostic imaging in a proportion of pregnant women with suspected pulmonary embolism, according to a study published in the March 21 issue of the New England Journal of Medicine.
Liselotte M. van der Pol, M.D., from the Leiden University Medical Center in the Netherlands, and colleagues examined whether a pregnancy-adapted algorithm could be used to safely avoid diagnostic imaging in pregnant women with suspected pulmonary embolism. Three criteria from the YEARS algorithm (clinical signs of deep vein thrombosis, hemoptysis, and pulmonary embolism as the most likely diagnosis) were assessed, and D-dimer level was measured. All patients in whom pulmonary embolism had not been ruled out by the YEARS algorithm underwent computed tomography (CT) pulmonary angiography. Five hundred ten women were screened, and 2.4 percent were subsequently excluded.
The researchers found that pulmonary embolism was diagnosed in 4.0 percent of patients at baseline. In 39 percent of patients, CT pulmonary angiography was not indicated and thus avoided. The efficiency of the algorithm was highest and lowest during the first and third trimester, respectively; CT pulmonary angiography was avoided in 65 and 32 percent of patients who began the study in the first and third trimester, respectively.
“Our study showed that the pregnancy-adapted YEARS algorithm was able to safely rule out pulmonary embolism in pregnant women with suspected pulmonary embolism,” the authors write. “CT pulmonary angiography was avoided in 39 percent of the patients, thus averting potential harm from radiation exposure.”

SUSY constraints from relic density: High sensitivity to pre-BBN expansion rate
2008 (English)In: Physics Letters B, ISSN 0370-2693, Vol. 669, no 1, 46-51 p.Article in journal (Refereed) Published
The sensitivity of the lightest supersymmetric particle relic density calculation to the variation of the cosmological expansion rate before nucleosynthesis is discussed. Such a modification of the expansion rate, even extremely modest and with no consequence on the cosmological observations can greatly, enhance the calculated relic density, and therefore change the constraints on the SUSY parameter space drastically. We illustrate this variation in two examples of SUSY models, and show that it is unsafe to use the lower bound of the WMAP limits in order to constrain supersymmetry. We therefore suggest to use only the upper value Omega(DM)h(2) < 0.135. (C) 2008 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

DOJ Tells State Licensing Boards And Occupational Training Schools That It Is Illegal To Bar People With HIV
HIV Advocacy Groups That Urged DOJ To Issue The Guidelines Praise The Agency For Its Leadership
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
CONTACT: (212) 549-2666; email@example.com
WASHINGTON, D.C. – The U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) issued a new fact sheet yesterday informing state licensing boards and occupational training schools – and the general public – that it is a violation of the Americans for Disabilities Act to bar people with HIV from professions such as barbering, massage therapy and home health care assistance. The new guidelines were issued in response to requests from AIDS Legal Council of Chicago, the American Civil Liberties Union, The Center for HIV Law and Policy, Gay & Lesbian Advocates and Defenders and Lambda Legal.
“The DOJ has sent a loud and clear message to the state licensing boards and occupational training schools that HIV discrimination won’t be tolerated,” said Catherine Hanssens, Executive Director of The Center for HIV Law and Policy. “Even this late into the HIV epidemic, we continue to hear from people who are being barred from professions out of fear and ignorance about how HIV is spread. We are grateful for DOJ’s leadership in helping to end this irrational discrimination.”
As the fact sheet makes clear, state licensing agencies and public trade schools for barbering, cosmetology, massage therapy and other occupations are covered by the Americans for Disabilities Act, and, because HIV is considered a disability under the ADA, any state licensing agencies or trade schools that bar people with HIV are in violation of federal law. The fact sheet concludes that it is safe for people with HIV to work in these professions and explains that “circumstances do not exist for the transmission of HIV in a school or workplace setting, including those involving massage therapy, cosmetology, or home healthcare services.”
In urging DOJ to issue the guidelines, the HIV advocacy groups provided DOJ with several recent examples of people with HIV facing discrimination from state licensing boards and training schools. These included a Georgia man whose massage license was revoked by the City of Atlanta, an Arkansas man who was kicked out of a cosmetology school because of the school’s interpretation of state licensing requirements, and a Tennessee couple who had their foster parent license denied because one of them had HIV.
“For far too long state licensing boards all over the country have been allowed to wreck havoc on the lives of people with HIV out of ignorance about how HIV is spread,” said Rose Saxe, a staff attorney with the ACLU AIDS Project. “We’ve known for years that you cannot get HIV through a hair cut or a massage, yet state laws have kept many people from these professions. Thankfully DOJ is now making states get rid of these senseless policies.”
The fact sheet is available on the DOJ’s website at http://www.ada.gov/qahivaids_license.htm. A PDF of the document is available at http://www.ada.gov/qahivaids_license.pdf.

An expanding universe of finite duration appears to impose limits on the temporal and spatial extent of quantum waves. These limitations seem to be able to bring about localization for sufficiently large quantum objects that can resemble classical behavior. A threshold for a transition from quantum to classical behavior of a physical object is derived in terms of the magnitude of its moment of inertia.

ODESSA, Texas — More people are moving to Texas! According to the latest 2021 census, the population of Texas grew drastically more than any other state, and looks like it will continue that way. Now, local realtors are having to adjust.
This past year, the Lone Star state has become the most popular state to move to, with a population of just under 30 million people. What does this affect? Well, a local board of realtors says that’s affecting the west Texas housing market.
Connie Coots from the Odessa Board of Realtors says, “You know, it’s making the housing market really competitive.”
West Texas is on the more affordable side of the nations housing market and will be there for quite some time.
“In Odessa, you know, our average price is around 228 thousand. You know, compared to everywhere else in the country that’s really low. Texas overall is around 300 thousand,” says Coots.
The increase in population, and the start of the new year, go hand in hand, in affecting housing affordability in west Texas. But, experts say right now it’s still pretty steady.
“Actually, in November we saw a decrease just slightly of about 2 percent. So, it just depends, you know during the holidays, it sometimes does go down just a little bit because people like to kind of, stay in their p-j’s a little bit and they don’t like to look as much but after the first of the year, things start picking up, people start getting excited about looking at properties,” adds Coots.
But with more people coming to the state, more housing is needed. West Texas is already on top of it.
Coots mentions, “we have a lot developers right now that have a lot of new construction going up, you can see just driving around our town, there’s a lot of new homes going up, so there’s a lot of supply for people who are wanting to buy, a lot of choices.”
The Census Bureau projects Texas’ population to grow another 4 million people the end of the year 2030.

Accra, Ghana — The U.S. Government, through the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) in partnership with the Ministry of Fisheries and Aquaculture Development, today announced the Safe Fish Certification and Licensing Scheme under the theme, “Safe Fish, Better Health.” Under the program, fish processors will adopt a code of conduct to meet health and hygiene standards that reduces contaminants.
Ghana’s Food and Drugs Authority certifies the adoption of these standards for the domestic market while the Ghana Standards Authority certifies the standards for export. This certification fosters access to higher, value-added markets in Ghana and facilitates fish exports from Ghana to markets overseas.
USAID Economic Growth Office Director Paul Pleva and Deputy Minister for Fisheries and Aquaculture Development Hon. Moses Anim delivered remarks at the event. “We all know that fish is an important food here in Ghana,” said USAID’s Paul Pleva. “It is also a particularly important food for pregnant women and children because it is an inexpensive and readily available source for high-quality protein. USAID is committed to working with all of you to ensure food security and a healthy, nutritious diet for Ghanaians.” USAID has supported the Government of Ghana in the fisheries sector since 2009.
Designed to raise awareness and promote the production and consumption of safe and hygienic fish on the domestic and African regional markets, the launch was attended by fishers, consumer groups, and government representatives from the four coastal regions. It included cooking shows with certified processed fish and an exhibition of certified fish products available for sale in local and international markets.
The United States Agency for International Development (USAID) is the lead U.S. Government agency that works to end extreme global poverty and enable resilient, democratic societies to realize their potential. USAID’s work advances an integrated approach to development. It promotes accountability, sustainable systems, and inclusive development.

What is the theme of The Sun Also Rises?
Clearly, any work of literature has a number of themes, and this novel is no exception. However, one clear theme to me is the way the novel explores morality and the various moral codes that the characters in this novel ascribe to. Let us consider Jake for a moment, who describes "morality" as "things that made you disgusted afterward." He quickly corrects himself, saying that this must be the definition of "immorality." However, throughout the novel it is clear that Jake is more interested in his own problems and issues, and then, only secondly, those of Brett.
Now, if we compare Jake's moral code to that of Cohn, there is a stark difference, as Cohn shows himself unable to understand the morality of Brett and also unable to follow it. Note how Brett and Romero are got together, deliberately going against the morality of the group. This of course leads to a betrayal and the loss of respect between Jake and Montoya and Cohn. Jake shows how throughout the novel he continually becomes more and more self-centred and selfish.
If we consider Brett for a moment, we see that she is presented as wandering in a kind of moral vacuum. She shows self-disgust and also disgust with Jake, even though this is shown to be unfair. She stands against conventional morality by engaging in numerous brief affairs which shows her to be a self-destructive personality that is often presented as being passive in the novel. These string of affairs are of course an escape mechanism to flee from her relationship with Jake, whom she really loves but is unable to have sex with her. The one time in which she does morally assert herself is in disposing of Romero.
Thus morality is an important theme as characters reject conventional forms of morality and build their own system of morals, justifying them as they go, for their own reasons. Such morals have a lot to say about the characters in this book and the kind of desperate, detached and selfish lives they lead.

Herman Melville’s Bible 5 02 Parker draws his research from the letters of the Melville family, newspaper reviews of Melville’s book, diaries, and from the assorted ephemeral that is the natural habitat of biographers and historians.
He also utilizes. As with the Bible, Melville’s classic novel famously combines a variety of genres and discourses. He does this, she continues, in order to ‘recapitulate in new terms the tantalising experience of reading an all-encompassing book like the Bible’, which results in Moby-Dick’s enduring hermeneutical-aesthetical : Bradley A.
Johnson. Get this from a library. Melville's bibles. [Ilana Pardes] -- Many writers in antebellum America sought to reinvent the Bible, but no one, Ilana Pardes argues, was as insistent as Melville on redefining biblical exegesis while doing so.
In Moby-Dick he not only. Moby Dick – a great white sperm whale. He is the nemesis of Captain Ahab. Being intelligent, resourceful, and without a conscience makes Moby Dick is the perfect villain for a story.
Although, Ishmael often likens him to God and all His mysteries, Ahab sees him as the devil. Moby Dick has spread destruction in his wake. In Melville's Bibles, Pardes traces Melville's response to a whole array of nineteenth-century exegetical writings—literary scriptures, biblical scholarship, Holy Land travel narratives, political sermons, and women's bibles.
She shows how Melville raised with unparalleled verve the question of what counts as Bible and what counts as Cited by: Trying to fathom Captain Ahab, the complex antihero of Herman Melville’s Moby-Dick, only in relation to his scriptural namesake would be as futile as was his own quest to vanquish the white whale.
Yet Melville’s narrative, saturated with biblical names, imagery, tropes, and language, suggests fateful likenesses between Captain Ahab and King Ahab of Israel.

I used to care about everyone and everything. But a few have shown they have no hearts. They are cold blooded, self centered, rude, insensitive, narcissistic asses. The only way to be happy is to not give a damn about them anymore. Live your life and to hell with the haters. Be the best person you can be, and stop worrying about people who treat you like crap
So please tell me how my story changed? Ive never once lied to you because I dont have a reason to. He lied to both of us and he cheated on you with me. Sorry I was told you were broke up.

The Biden Power Plant Rule and the Major Question Doctrine
The new rule has hardly any of the features that caused the Supreme Court to strike down the Obama rule.
We’ve already started to hear claims that the Biden power plant rule falls under the major question doctrine, which the Supreme Court used to strike down Obama’s Clean Power Plan. Are those claims plausible? Consider the aspects of the Clean Power Plan that the Supreme Court found objectionable. I’ve identified eight factors that the Court seemed to find significant. The Biden power plant rule gets 1.5 points out of a possible 9 on this scale. That’s a score of 17%, which seems less than overwhelming.
Here’s how the Biden rule stacks up for each of the factors:
- Is this “a regulatory program that Congress had conspicuously and repeatedly declined to enact itself”?
No. There have been no prominent failed efforts to require carbon storage and sequestration or co-firing with hydrogen by statute. On the contrary, Congress did adopt very substantial tax credits to encourage the use of these technologies.
- Did EPA use an “ancillary provision” of the Clean Air Act?
Yes. EPA used the same provision here [section 111(d)] that it used to issue the Clean Power Plan.
- Did EPA deviate from “unbroken list of prior Section 111 rules that devised the enforceable emissions limit by determining the best control mechanisms available for the source”?
No. The rules is based on a determination of the best control mechanisms for various types of coal plants.
- Did EPA demand “much greater reductions in emissions based on a very different kind of policy judgment: that it would be “best” if coal made up a much smaller share of national electricity generation”?
No. The emission reductions are based on emission reductions from each source, with coal plant closures playing a minor role. In terms of the use of coal, the IRA will have much more impact than the EPA rule. Prior to the IRA, EPA expected about 112 GW of coal capacity to remain in 2030. EPA expects the IRA to eliminate almost half of that, while the rule will eliminate an extra one-seventh. That’s not insignificant but it’s also earthshaking.
- Did EPA lack “comparative expertise” on the subject”
No. In EPA, the Court said that EPA was regulating the grid, a subject where it lacked expertise. But emission control technologies are EPA’s stock in trade.
- Is the Biden plan “so strict that no existing coal plant would have been able to achieve them without engaging in one of the three means of shifting generation [to other generators]?
No. EPA says that the proposed standards are economically and technologically feasible for many coal plants.
- Would the new plan “cause retail electricity prices to remain persistently 10% higher in many States, and would reduce GDP by at least a trillion 2009 dollars by 2040”?
No. EPA estimates a 2030 initial impact of 2% on electricity prices, falling to 0% within five years. This is partly due to the tax credits and subsidies created by the Inflation Reduction Act.
- Would the plan “entail billions of dollars in compliance costs (to be paid in the form of higher energy prices), require the retirement of dozens of coal-fired plants, and eliminate tens of thousands of jobs across various sectors.”?
Yes and no. It’s not clear that these economic impacts are even part of the test for what’s a major question. They’re mentioned in the Court’s description of the regulation but not in its legal analysis. Just to be complete, I’ll discuss them anyway:
- As to jobs, EPA estimates an average loss of a couple of thousand power sector jobs per year out of total employment of around a million in the industry. This doesn’t count all the new jobs that would be created relating to the new technologies that EPA is requiring.
- As to compliance costs for the new rule, EPA is estimating their present value as $4 billion. As noted above, the impact on electricity prices would be miniscule. We now know that the cost of complying with the Obama rule would have been much lower than estimates at the time the rule was drafted.
9. Is the “the point” of the rule “to compel the transfer of power generating capacity from existing sources to wind and solar”?
No. I can’t read EPA Administrator Michael Regan’s mind, but there’s nothing in the rule itself to suggest that its purpose was to prompt generation switching to renewables. And judging by EPA’s projections, it’s not likely to do anything more than modestly accelerate a strong existing trend.
All of this seems pretty far from the Court’s description of what made the Obama rule a “major question”. At most, the Biden rule seems to present a “midsized question.” Apart from using the same section of the Clean Air Act and having substantial projected compliance costs, the two rules couldn’t be more different.

Heritage Open Days in East Devon
PUBLISHED: 13:07 19 September 2019 | UPDATED: 17:21 19 September 2019
Every year in September, across the country, historical buildings and other places of interest open their doors to the public, free of charge, and many also lay on special talks and activities.
Heritage Open Days began on Friday, September 13, and runs until Sunday, September 22.
Here are some of the places in East Devon that are taking part during the coming weekend. For full details, opening times and any booking requirements, visit the Heritage Open Days website
A La Ronde, Exmouth
The sixteen-sided building dates back to 1796 when it was built by cousins Jane and Mary Parminter, and is full of their treasures from around the world. The building is currently being restored and is covered in scaffolding, but there is plenty to see inside. Free entry on Friday, September 20 and Saturday 21.
Guided tour of Topsham
A 90-minute walk around Topsham, with commentary. Learn the stories behind its beautiful, historic buildings and often quirky architecture. Sunday, September 22. Booking required.
Lyme Regis: The Guildhall and the Town Mill
The distinctive Guildhall is one of the attractive and historic buildings in the town centre. The main chamber, with its curved ceiling and coat of arms, was once the local court, and the main body of the building, including the Mayor's Parlour, was built in 1887 on the site of the town's lock-up.
The Town Mill is the only volunteer-run, non-commercial mill that mills virtually every day of the year, with a giant waterwheel powering the half-ton millstones used to grind grain into flour. Free daily tours throughout the week, with children's activities and some additional, paid-for events.
Manor Mill, Branscombe
Grain has been milled here for at least 300 years, but the mill was disused for decades after falling into disrepair just before World War Two. It was restored to working order by the National Trust in the 1990s and visitors can watch it in action. Free open day on Sunday, September 22 with special activities for children.
Sidholme Hotel and The Lost Garden In Elysian Fields, Sidmouth.
One of the many fine Regency houses built in Sidmouth during the 1820s, set back from the town in a quiet location. The Victorian-era Music Room has seven beautiful crystal chandeliers,currently being restored one by one. The peaceful gardens are also being restored.

Strategically hosted between the 2015 Paris Climate Agreement and the 2020 deadline to stop the global average temperature from rising by 1.5 degrees Celsius, the 2018 Global Climate Action Summit (GCAS) aims to ignite climate action ambitions. Summit attendees hail from a range of government sectors, businesses, nonprofits, and research institutions, all coming together to tackle the most pressing problem of our generation.
Arup’s decades-long commitment to sustainability in the built environment is essential to the firm’s mission to shape a better world. Around the globe, our work seeks to check climate change and build resilience to avoid its worst impending impacts.
In advance of the GCAS, Arup’s five delegates discussed climate-action mobilization, the importance of partnerships, and their desired summit outcomes.
Our delegates: San Francisco Group Leader Aidan Hughes; Energy, Cities, and Climate Change Director Ben Smith; Americas Cities Leader Brian Swett; Americas Energy Business Leader Cole Roberts; and Arup Fellow Fiona Cousins.
Climate action has been a driving force in each of your careers. Why is this work important to you?
Fiona: Climate action is the greatest challenge of our generation. It wasn't particularly a problem for the baby boomers because the population was much smaller, but the population has doubled in my lifetime. More recently, we’ve also seen a rise in affluence and the expectations about what and how people consume, as well as their quality life. That means we have to work really hard on climate action — it’s a huge intellectual, social, political, and motivational challenge.
Ben: The stat I always use is that the urban population is nine times greater today than just 100 years ago. That’s worrying because it feels a little like we are disconnecting ourselves from the natural world, the very thing we need to work hard to protect.
Fiona is right, climate action can’t be discussed by academics and politicians alone. Tackling this issue requires action on all levels — from individuals, communities, schools, etc. And it especially requires action from those who are seeking to integrate the natural world with the built environment. We have a huge responsibility as designers, not least of which is to do much more to bring these challenges into the mainstream.
Brian: I agree — climate action is the existential threat facing humanity. It’s a game changer — if we don’t solve it, climate change fundamentally changes the ways in which people live, work, act, and play. While there are massive social equity challenges associated with it, climate action is a unifying problem that will affect everyone.
I remember the Environmental Defense Fund ran a phenomenal ad, I think in the early 2000s, with some guy standing on a train track talking about climate change and why he didn't care about the issue since it wouldn’t impact him. As you hear the train coming, he steps aside and a child remains behind. The decisions we’re making today, they’re make-or-break for the next generation, and we’ll know in the first fifteen years if we’ve bent the curve on climate change or not.
Cole: I think this existential crisis is also an existential opportunity. As Brian says, there’s a chance for this to be an exciting moment where we come together as a humanity. We can discover new, innovative approaches to energy, infrastructure, and transportation systems that wouldn’t have emerged had we not been forced to come together under a common purpose.
There is sometimes an assumption that climate action and sustainability are the same conversation. How would you describe the relationship between the two?
Brian: Climate action is necessary but not sufficient for sustainability. It’s like back in the green movement of the '80s and '90s when we used to get, “Oh yeah, I’m green, I recycle.” Very singular — if I check this box, then I’m sustainable.
Fiona: Exactly, it used to be if you bought a hybrid car, you were there. Or if you always drank from a reusable thermos, you were there. There were lots of single-point activities and I think there's still a whole lot of that. In reality, you need widespread action — you need lots of partners with lots of primary impact points, because this problem is too big. We, together, have to do everything.
Ben: And we are seeing this move toward partnerships. Cities are starting to recognize that mayors alone can’t deliver the level of action that’s needed. The United Nations and other similar organizations are starting to set up private sector alliances, and numerous private companies are showing leadership. Just look at the We Mean Business platform being promoted through the GCAS.
Brian: I've been heartened, at least within the real estate developer and owner space, how much more seriously companies are taking this. They’ve gone from reporting on sustainability or energy or community engagement to truly changing behavior. They’re getting policies and practices in place that change the trajectory of what they're producing in terms of buildings in communities.
Cole: I think that there’s actually more activity going on amongst our clients than is sometimes evident, especially when it comes to assessing climate risks. It's one thing for a company to come out and say what positive action they're taking to stave off climate change, which usually gains them some market benefit. It’s another thing for companies to assess their own risks. Personally, I’m heartened to know that there is more activity than meets the eye.
Decarbonization is a prominent approach to climate action in our industry. Where are you seeing the most progress?
Fiona: In the United States, we’re seeing decarbonization leadership at the city level. Cities are beginning to set targets, like an 80% cut in emissions by 2050. In some ways, it’s a funny place to start, since cities don’t own the distribution or generation network.
Ben: But I’ll add in that city leadership is often directly connected to (i.e., elected by) its citizens who have a strong voice in terms of regional and national politics. In our work with the C40 Cities initiatives, we’ve seen you often don’t need formal power to drive action.
Fiona: Yes, absolutely. The other place that we're getting to see decarbonization quite a lot is in campus design. In those cases, there’s a little bit more control over the energy generation and distribution network.
Brian: I’m happy to see that the metric in the built environment is transitioning from building energy efficiency to building emissions impact and emissions efficiency. We’re seeing a tremendous amount of research and interest around building electrification because there’s a realization that to decarbonize means we then need to produce zero carbon electricity.
I’m also encouraged by the massive amounts of renewables that have been added to existing grids in northern Europe, west Texas, and elsewhere without breaking down the entire system. We can have a distributed renewable system that meets current demands for reliability and price. This isn’t to say that the transition won’t be challenging or costly, but the potential is there to achieve a zero-carbon energy system in our lifetime.
Cole: One of the challenges of the net-zero dialogue is that it’s heavily focused on operations and procured energy from the grid. We just did an interesting analysis on the total carbon performance of one of our projects, and while the operations and transportation of the building are decarbonizing over time, the biggest issue is the building’s embodied carbon. There is a time-based value to when carbon is released, and the carbon released today is more important than what is going to be released in ten, twenty, fifty years.
Think of the embodied carbon in all the infrastructure we’ll need to build over the coming decades to respond to climate change, the embodied carbon in seawalls, for instance. We have to address the embodied carbon factor or we’re going to bury ourselves in a situation where we’re emitting more and more carbon just to protect ourselves.
Fiona: Yes, and as Cole says, if embodied carbon becomes the biggest component of our construction emissions, then the idea of the circular economy becomes really important. The circular economy is a way of trying to recycle, reuse, and repurpose materials through either the technical or biological cycle — so there’s an opportunity there.
Aidan: I do think we’re seeing increased attention from our clients on the circular economy and its possibilities. And at Arup we’re doing quite a bit of research to demonstrate how a move to the circular economy can benefit our industry and offer up opportunities. We’ve teamed up with the Ellen MacArthur Foundation as a knowledge partner to try to embed some circular economy principles into our work in the built environment and to potentially provide leadership across this space. But there’s still a long way to go.
What outcomes do you hope to see from the Global Climate Action Summit?
Fiona: Realistically, I hope for an understanding of the value of nongovernmental action and an energizing of those who are prepared to act. We need to come together to share ideas that actually work and inspire one another.
Brian: I think a key outcome would be a continued formal engagement of subnational sectors. It wasn't until the most recent United Nations climate summits that subnational states even had a formal role. Historically the negotiations were very top-down, nation-state oriented. So much can be accomplished through coordination and commitments between nations, governments, businesses, cities, and states. It's creating the momentum that Fiona is talking about and recognizing the various structures and entities that are going to be key to moving us forward.
Aidan: The summit is definitely an opportunity to show that the US continues to be a world leader committed to climate action and for us to demonstrate that leadership. But what’s most essential is finding the combined voice of businesses, cities, nonprofits, governments, and communities. Like my colleagues have said above, collective action is the only way we’ll make a difference.
For Arup, this summit and guiding targets like the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals give us a chance to think about our business in a different way. While climate change is something we can proudly say we’re already working to address, we constantly need to examine how we can contribute to climate action and step up.

Why Choose Electro Freeze?
Electro Freeze manufactures the highest quality ice cream machines on the market. Our machines inside and out have been designed for durability and product quality.
Electro Freeze machines are easy to clean, maintain, and are very reliable. Those are the key ingredients to increased profitability. Unlike other machines on the market, Electro Freeze machines use temperature control instead of viscosity to regulate the finished product. To ensure a firm product it is important the freezing cylinder provides fast freeze down and quick recovery. To accomplish this we use a long barrel with a small diameter. These barrels are wrapped with refrigeration tubing and permanently bonded to the cylinder. A thermal mastic material allows Electro Freeze to maintain even heat transfer between the evaporator and cylinder. This allows us to increase the surface area of the freezing cylinder. The result is a cold, firm product that will stand up in a cone or cup.
Our patented augers are designed to fold freezing ice cream back onto itself to minimize the whipping effect. The product will have more consistent small ice crystals, and can be higher butter fat without actually having the product butter out. "having small butter flakes". These augurs use plastic scraper blades, which are durable, less expensive to replace, and quieter.
Electro Freeze pump machines can run from 30% - 70% overrun depending on how it is set and the product you are using. Overrun control ensures your product is consistent in taste and texture. Another benefit of controlling overrun is it also allows you to get more product from your mix. At 65% overrun 18.2 gallons of mix yields 30 gallons of finished product.

The Broasting technique was introduced in 1954 when American businessman and inventor, L.A.M. Phelan, combined parts of a deep fryer and pressure cooker as a way to cook chicken more quickly. With his invention, Phelan trademarked the words "broaster" and "broasted food". Phelan manufactured the first Broaster Pressure Fryers under Flavor Fast Foods, Inc. and in 1956 formed the Broaster Company, expanding its line of offerings to include food product ingredients and accessories.
In 2009, Jay Cipra was named CEO of Broaster Company LLC, after serving as president of its parent company Broaster Company, Inc. Broaster Company celebrated its 60th anniversary in 2014

Irrespective of one’s proclivity for onboard technology, there’s no denying the sea change that smartphones and tablets have brought to marine electronics. Thanks to their built-in GPS receivers, plentiful processing power, touch-screen graphical interfaces and cellular modems, these devices are virtually tailor-made for use as independent navigation systems when loaded with the right cartography app, and provided, of course, that cellular or Wi-Fi service exists. I clearly remember the first few times that I used a Navionics chart app while sailing, amazed that I could privately explore alternative routings without causing agita at the nav station.
But while everyone’s abuzz about their phone and iPad, a new generation of wearable technology has been quietly gathering speed and now offers sailors hands-free access to critical data, anywhere on the boat.
Although many of us sail to escape onshore white noise, wearable technology delivers the benefit of increased situational awareness and onboard mobility sans the need to install a bevy of repeater screens. Also, by having constant access to metrics such as speed over ground and apparent wind angle, it’s much easier to qualify and quantify the real-time effects of sail trim and steering on your estimated time of arrival. Here, then, is a look at what’s out there in the world of wearables and how these devices work.
Let’s start at the wrist. Most sailing watches fall into one of two camps: digital chronometers with regatta-specific timers and countdown alarms, or upscale and elegant horological pieces with mechanical movements and wallet-puckering price tags. Garmin started innovating in this space in 2013 with the launch of its first-generation quatix GPS-enabled smartwatch, which offered what the company termed solid-state “ABCs” — altimeter, barometer and compass — along with handy sailing-specific features, such as a man-overboard button and tide information.
In stand-alone mode, quatix could use its onboard sensors and its GPS receiver to determine speed, direction and position information. The watch’s built-in Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and ANT+ (a communications protocol commonly used by fitness and other monitoring devices) connectivity allowed it to be paired with Garmin’s GNT-10 NMEA transceiver to display information from the vessel’s navigation system. Cooler still, quatix could be used to control a compatible Garmin autopilot.
“The first quatix was ahead of its time,” says Dave Dunn, Garmin’s director of marine sales and marketing, who explained that quatix’s ability to control autopilots earned it the nickname “the James Bond watch” among timepiece enthusiasts, of which he is one. “It was big and bulky, but it put quatix on the map.”
Today, all the major marine-electronics manufacturers include Wi-Fi and Bluetooth capability in their higher-end chart plotters, allowing smart devices to wirelessly talk to the plotter and access navigation and other data carried over an NMEA 2000 network.
“We live in a connected world,” says Dunn as he describes the considerably sleeker quatix 3, which was released in 2016 and allows users to customize their watch-face setting to display a range of onboard data. “One of quatix 3’s only shortcomings is that there’s no autopilot control,” says Dunn. The autopilot-control feature, he explains, didn’t mesh well with the new watch’s software platform; this may be corrected, though, in the next-generation quatix.
Still, quatix 3 is loaded with sailing-specific features, including a stand-alone man-overboard button that sets an internal emergency waypoint. The watch can also be paired with smartphones and tablets to access the Internet, and with a free app, it can be used to control an onboard Fusion marine stereo.
For most cruising sailors, basic depth and speed are top of mind when considering what metrics to have on display. But Garmin borrowed a page from the smartphone and tablet developers’ handbook and gives the quatix user lots of options. Garmin and third-party apps are available for download from the company’s Connect IQ online store. Additionally, built-in software allows quatix 3 owners to create and store up to 1,000 waypoints and 30 routes — a tool that could prove useful when searching a dark harbor for the boat after a big night ashore.
As with all portable electronics, quatix watches are beholden to their batteries, which in this case are USB-rechargeable lithium-ions. A quatix 3 can go for 30 days before needing a DC top-off, says Dunn, so long as its power-thirsty GPS receiver is switched off. To save juice, Dunn recommends pairing quatix watches with compatible chart plotters to obtain position and speed information, as this draws significantly less power than using the device’s internal resources.
Third-party connectivity is a limitation for quatix and quatix 3 because they can only be paired with Garmin-built chart plotters and wind instruments. Still, the watches’ impressive navigational capabilities when operating in stand-alone mode, coupled with their easy-to-read graphics and rugged, waterproof (to 150 feet) construction, make them solid choices for sailors of all stripes.
Another player in this segment of the wearable market is Italy’s Astra Yacht, which touts its esa Watch as the world’s first Android-based sailing timepiece. It features a touch-sensitive, customizable 1.54-inch high-definition screen that can display a wide range of performance and navigation data. Built-in Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity allow the watch to connect to your boat’s navigation and other systems via Astra Yacht’s GAMP 2000 Wi-Fi multiplexer, which is sold separately. Users can download apps from the Google Play store, and paired with a smartphone, the watch can be used to make phone calls, send and receive text messages and email, play music and browse the Web. If connectivity doesn’t exist, the watch can use its internal GPS receiver to calculate speed and heading information.
Apple Watch wearers can join the fun too, with a range of sailing-specific apps available to let them seamlessly mesh their time on the water with all the other aspects of their digital lives.
Rather than putting information on your wrist, head-up displays, or HUDs, take an in-your-face approach to keeping you on top of critical data. The technology became famous in the sailing world when Oracle Team USA’s skipper Jimmy Spithill used a custom-built system to win the 34th America’s Cup in 2013.
At present, just two companies make HUDs for multiple recreational outdoor activities: Garmin, which originally created a product for cyclists, and Recon, which targeted skiers and snowboarders but has since expanded into other sports, such as running and cycling.
So far, Garmin is the only manufacturer with sailing-specific gear, its Nautix in-view display. Recon has not launched a marine-specific product, though Canadian firm Afterguard made headlines in 2014 with the news that it has a sailing-specific display using Recon hardware. Afterguard did not respond to correspondence related to this article.
Garmin’s Nautix is a small, 1.1-ounce device that clips onto the temple of most glasses or sunglasses (excluding those with wire frames), making it an especially attractive option for sailors who use prescription glasses. These tidy displays wirelessly talk to a compatible Garmin chart plotter via an ANT+ connection, which allows Nautix to display networked NMEA 2000 data. A glove- and water-friendly touch-screen strip that’s fitted along the display’s chassis allows users to scroll between five customizable screen views.
“Cruisers who are away from their helms can keep an eye on their data,” says Dunn. Nautix can display need-it-now metrics, including boat speed, depth, heading, wind direction and bearing to the next waypoint, all on a screen that offers 428-by-240-pixel resolution, which delivers sharp, crisp graphical imagery.
As with anything new that’s introduced into your field of vision, it can take a few moments to initially adjust your eyes to the presence of the display, but after a brief learning curve Nautix’s screen is unobtrusively there, offering pertinent information without compromising one’s sight.
For performance–oriented sailors this can be a great tool to help get the most from their boat and sails. An ambient light sensor embedded in the Nautix display even dynamically adjusts for passing clouds and sunset.
Unlike quatix watches, Nautix displays can’t function in a stand-alone mode, making them only suited for use aboard Garmin-equipped boats.
While the luddites among us can make a strong argument for using sailing to escape the all-info clutter that assaults us ashore, wearable technology offers a digitally stylish way of staying up-to-date on dynamic information, and it can also be a great new way to learn more about how your boat responds to different sail-trim and steering inputs. Just be forewarned: Chasing numbers on the speedo can be addictive and lead to some expensive — but rewarding — conversations with your sailmaker.

IMF published a paper highlighting the use of some elements of the Bali Fintech Agenda in Pacific island countries, which face significant financial-structural challenges. The paper outlines technologies and policy areas relevant to the Pacific context and provides a potential action plan to help advance the policy agenda. The paper emphasizes the feasibility of adopting fintech applications in the Pacific through a coordinated regional approach, anchored by appropriate regulation and infrastructure.
The paper draws on elements of the Bali Fintech Agenda and uses fintech examples from less developed economies that might be feasible for the Pacific island countries. The Bali Fintech Agenda highlights 12 principles for policymakers to consider when formulating their approaches to fintech. The agenda aims to harness the potential of fintech while managing associated risks. The paper builds on the results of IMF research on financial inclusion showing that small states are more likely to leapfrog into new technologies. The paper first describes the state of financial development and the level of access to technology in the Pacific Island countries. It then focuses on identifying the necessary prerequisites for technology-enabled financial inclusion, including the technological and general infrastructure requirement and the regulatory and market environments. Next, the paper outlines a strategy for promoting fintech solutions in Pacific Island countries in four areas—payment systems, identification requirements, credit sharing information, and risk assessment and management. The paper concludes with key takeaways and policy recommendations.
Technological adoption requires policymakers to provide the appropriate supporting physical and regulatory infrastructure, but this is a demanding task. A regional approach to fintech applications for financial inclusion and regulatory frameworks is essential to overcome capacity and scalability constraints. Regional initiatives such as innovation hubs, regulatory sandboxes, and technological platforms would avoid duplication and harmonize policy and regulatory standards. They enable a two-way knowledge exchange between regulators and digital financial service providers. This would set the stage for the regional know-your-customer utility introduced at the 2018 South Pacific Central Bank Governors’ Meeting. These initiatives would also allow policymakers to build a market environment attractive to incumbent and new market participants.
The implementation of fintech products and services will face risks and constraints that need to be factored into the implementation and risk mitigation strategy. Policymakers should conduct a comprehensive assessment of risks by type and nature to decide how to absorb, control, or mitigate them. The risk assessment forms the foundation of a risk-mitigation strategy, which will help guide policymakers in determining appropriate action items. The paper highlights that work needs to be done in the areas of cyber-security, market, and operational risks. Regulators and institutions in Pacific island countries could be at a disadvantage in coping with the growing risks of cyber threats. The gap between regulatory priorities and knowledge is highest for cyber-security and technological tools for regulation and supervision. This knowledge gap could translate into weaker capacity to confront attacks and fraud, thus increasing Pacific island economies’ exposure to cyber-security risks. Regional approaches are needed to ensure that regulators and supervisors in Pacific island countries can adopt strong controls and overcome resource and skill constraints.
