Capcom announced that Monster Hunter: World has reached 6 million units shipped between the PS4 and Xbox One versions of the game, including digital sales on both platforms. With a PC version still to come, those are some impressive numbers that show the popularity of the new title. In the first three days after its launch, Monster Hunter: World sales had already reached 5 million. This is the fastest title to reach 6 million sales in Capcom’s history. The company chalks it up to a simultaneous global launch and significant innovations to the latest title in the series.
Monster Hunter has always had a very dedicated fanbase since its initial launch in 2004, but it was traditionally a niche and specific set of fans. Monster Hunter: World lives up to its name by gaining popularity across the globe. As the first Monster Hunter title for consoles in nine years, anticipation was high for what the power of current-gen tech could do for the series. The entire series now boasts sales of 46 million.
For more on Monster Hunter: World, you can read our review where Tyler Treese talks about exactly why this game is catching the attention of so many people.
Those multiplayer quirks are overcome quickly, though, and I enjoyed my time the most when I was playing with friends. It should be noted that the monsters get considerably more difficult in multiplayer, but it really makes the hunts feel like a team effort when completing them. It all results in a really satisfying gameplay loop of gaining different types of armor, collecting specific drops, and learning your weapons. There’s always something more to do in Monster Hunter: World.
This is the modernization that Monster Hunter definitely needed. Not only is it the most dynamic title in the series to date, it’s just a fantastic action role-playing game. Even if you’ve bounced off the series in the past, I highly recommend giving Monster Hunter: World a try. It’s where the series finally truly clicked for me, and that is very much by design. Capcom has updated their formula for a new generation, and it’s a real treat for all.
Are you one of the 6 million Monster Hunter: World sales?

At my work we are researching a new Server to purchase and we are looking a a Dell R730 server. We have a quote from last year and this year. The processors for both quotes are listed below.
2016: Intel Xeon E5-2660 v3 2.6 Ghz, 25M Cache, 9.60GT/s QPI, Turbo, HT, 10C/20T (105W) Max Mem 2133Mhz (338-BFFG).
Upgrade to 2 Intel Xeon E5-2660 V3 2.6Ghz… (374-BBGN)
2017: Intel Xeon E5-2660 v4 2.0GHz,35M Cache,9.60GT/s QPI,Turbo,HT,14C/28T (105W) Max Mem 2400MHz
My question is, how can we tell which of the 2 processors provides better performance? Are there other factors to include as well such as system board?
A brief summary is as follows:
2016 - 10 cores per socket
2017 = 14 cores per socket
2016 - Version 3 with 2.6 Ghz
2017 - Version 4 with 2.0 Ghz
In the past we have been burned by purchasing new ESXi hosts that performed much slower with our applications than older models. For example a Dell T710 with 6 cores per socket and 2.8 Ghz out performs an HP ProLiant Gen9 with 8 cores per socket and 2.6 Ghz. I do not wish to purchase a server that will provide lower performance than the Dell T710 (6 yers old server).
How can we judge how the processors or how the server will perform compared to another server?


KUALA LUMPUR (REUTERS) – The world is set to face 1.5 disasters a day – 560 a 12 months – by 2030, as people put themselves on a “spiral of self-destruction” by heating up the local weather and ignoring danger, pushing tens of millions extra individuals into poverty, the United Nations (UN) warned on Tuesday (April 26).
In the previous 20 years, between 350 and 500 medium-sized to main disasters have been recorded yearly, however governments are “fundamentally” underestimating their true affect on lives and livelihoods, in accordance to a biennial UN report on disasters.
“Raising the alarm by speaking the truth is not only necessary but crucial,” stated Ms Mami Mizutori, head of the UN Office for Disaster Risk Reduction (UNDRR), which revealed the Global Assessment Report 2022.
“The science is clear. It is less costly to take action before a disaster devastates than to wait until destruction is done and respond after it has happened,” she instructed the Thomson Reuters Foundation.
The UN-backed Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change warned this 12 months that local weather change impacts, from warmth to drought and flooding, are set to turn into extra frequent and intense, damaging nature, individuals and the locations they stay.
But measures to slash planet-heating emissions and adapt to world warming are each lagging, the panel stated.
The new UNDRR report stated more and more frequent and intense disasters have killed or affected extra individuals within the final 5 years than within the earlier five-year interval, and will push an extra 100 million individuals into poverty by 2030.
The report covers various kinds of disasters brought about by pure hazards – from floods, droughts and storms to earthquakes and epidemics.
“The world needs to do more to incorporate disaster risk in how we live, build and invest, which is setting humanity on a spiral of self-destruction,” stated Deputy UN Secretary-General Amina J. Mohammed in a assertion.
Disasters have price a mean of about US$170 billion (S$234 billion) annually within the final decade, the report stated, with creating nations and their poorest individuals struggling disproportionately.
Those international locations already lose a mean of 1 per cent of their gross home product a 12 months to disasters – ten instances greater than high-income international locations, the report famous.
Asia-Pacific nations are worst hit, with a 1.6 per cent annual GDP dent, stated the report, revealed forward of a world catastrophe discussion board on the Indonesian island of Bali subsequent month.
In the Philippines, for instance, tens of millions of persons are nonetheless recovering from Typhoon Rai, which struck in December, killing over 300 individuals and leaving tons of of 1000’s extra displaced, together with about $500 million in damages.
To assist essentially the most susceptible teams, politicians and decision-makers should commit to extra formidable local weather insurance policies and speed up the shift to inexperienced vitality, stated Ms Mary Joy Gonzales, a mission supervisor at help company CARE Philippines.
“The most at-risk (people) to extreme climate events and natural hazards are those living in urban poor communities, marginalised rural areas and isolated locations,” she added.
Director of the Red Cross Red Crescent Climate Centre Maarten van Aalst stated international locations should cease “managing each crisis as a separate surprise”, and as a substitute spend money on constructing methods that may assist individuals deal with local weather threats.
“Sadly, those who are worst affected have the least resources to address the increasing hazards,” he stated.
“To really reduce risk, we must also reduce inequalities.”
With many creating international locations nonetheless grappling with the financial impacts from the pandemic, on high of rising money owed and inflation, UNDRR’s Ms Mizutori referred to as for extra world assist.
“These countries are in need of much greater international support so that they can prioritise prevention from multiple disaster risks and build their resilience,” she stated.

Health insurance policies are rapidly becoming a critical component of financial planning for any burgeoning family. The accelerating cost of health care combined with increasing inflation rates is squarely putting the burden of medical costs on families belonging to the low and middle income bracket. In all, health insurance serves as a game changer in such situations, allowing families to invest in coverage policies over years and then drawing on the benefits guaranteed by the insurer.

Among the many turning points in life, the birth of a child may be one of the most important events. As such, planning ahead is of utmost importance. Apart from the basic costs of raising a child and providing for a quality education, one of the major areas that you’ll need to financially ensure is that of the child’s health care. The fact is, from birth and up until preteens, children need special care. Given how the cost of health care is spiraling out of control, it would definitely make for a good idea to invest in a children health insurance policy.
Broadly speaking, when it comes to children, most insurance carriers tend to focus on the cost of raising a child through education insurance and endowment plans. Some insurers even sell life insurance products specific to children. However, none of these instruments focus exclusively on the cost of health care directly attributable to the child. Investing in a children health insurance policy specifically meant for your child will cost you little on a regular basis but the potential benefits you can derive from it in the long run are immensely useful.
However, in case you are looking for a more comprehensive solution to cover your child, the best option by far would be to opt for a family health insurance plan which doubles up as a children health insurance policy. Such plans generally cover anywhere between 4 and 7 members of the family, including children. Insurers also provide cashless claims, reimbursements and tax benefits through these policies.
The sum assured for each member of the family per year usually ranges between INR 2 lakhs to INR 10 lakhs or more, depending on which insurance carrier you choose to go with. Going for a comprehensive health plan, even for your child is a much more financially feasible option as compared to individual mediclaim children health insurance because that would limit the maximum coverage per individual to only 1 lakh. Anything over and above that amount will have to be paid out of pocket.

Family floater policies, or what is more commonly known as a comprehensive health care plan, provide multiple benefits in terms of your child’s health. Under such policies you are likely to find value added benefits like health risk assessment, health related counseling and primary consultation with qualified physicians and experts. Critical illnesses are also covered under such comprehensive policies, as is maternity care which forms a big part of expenses related to your child. However, coverage for maternity costs usually has a waiting period attached to it, somewhere in the vicinity of 4 years or less.
While selecting a comprehensive health policy for the family, there are certain criteria you should look for, including but not limited to
However, the most important thing before you choose to buy into a children health insurance policy is to read the fine print in detail. Understanding the policy wording is key to figuring out how effective your children health insurance policy is and exactly what is covered and/or excluded from being covered.

[Updated w/SPCA response] The Department of Conservation Services has culled over 7,250 feral chickens to date, they said today in response to comments from the SPCA about birds and cats being poisoned due to the chicken culling programme.
A statement from the Department said, “While difficult, the management of feral chickens is absolutely necessary. Feral chickens are causing significant damage to farmers’ crops and threatened habitats. They are also a constant source of nuisance to many home-owners and institutions, as well as a potential health risk for carrying viruses such as salmonella.
“To date the Department of Conservation Services has received 103 requests for assistance from residences, schools, charities, senior housing and public agencies.
“The Department strives to manage this problem as humanely as possible by targeting only feral chickens and when using a sedative bait [not poison as stated in the SPCA press release], as a last recourse, hand feeding under supervision. The sedative is used when trapping has proven unsuccessful or not feasible.
“The sedative [alpha-chloralose] is fast-acting, painless and any bird who consumes it has a high percentage change of recovery, dependent on the amount eaten. It is also bird-specific and not very effective on mammals. Bread is purposefully chosen as the bait as it is unlikely to be consumed by threatened species such as Blue Birds.
“The culling process is a two-step process. The sedative bait stupefies the birds so they may be easily caught and then they are euthanized using accepted humane methods. If a bird is unintentionally sedated it has a good chance of a full recovery if kept warm and in a well-ventilated dark box
“Every effort is made to remove all bait prior to leaving the site. Furthermore, contact is made with land owners prior to any baiting procedures.
“In developing Conservation Services’ management strategy consideration was given to using feral chickens as food but rejected due to the poor quality of the meat, unknown food sources and high processing cost compared to that of store bought chicken.
“Additionally, the idea of developing a chicken farm was also not found to be cost-effective and that the majority of feral birds would not be suitable for breeding or egg-laying.
“Furthermore, hens only have a relatively short laying life. This would leave a significant portion of feral chickens either unproductive or unsellable. Similarly, it is estimated there are a huge number of roosters (approx. 50% or 15,000) which would not have any use.
“Another idea was that of selling the feathers on the international market for use in plastics, in paper pulp or textiles. However, the export of feathers would most likely not be commercially viable given the high cost to clean, sort and bag the feathers – as well as high fuel costs to export. The export of eggs would face similar problems.
“To date the Department has culled over 7,250 feral chickens with a minimum impact on non-targeted bird species and mammals. The Department regrets this incident and will review its baiting procedures to minimize the possibility of future events.
“The government would like to continue to encourage the Public to keep domesticated chickens but wishes to restate that they must be responsibly kept in a coop as it is an offense under the Summary Offenses Act 1926 to allow poultry to wander off your property. To put in a pest bird control request please visit www.conservation.bm.”
Last summer Government estimated that there are over 30,000 feral chickens roaming the island, a number which they said was continuing to grow.
Update: A SPCA spokesperson said, ““Whilst I understand why Conservation Services would want to avoid the use of the word ‘poison’ by telling the general public that they are only sedating the birds this gives the impression that the SPCA are incorrect in our investigation.
“Alpha-Chloralose is a well -known pest control product in Europe where it is used for mouse and pigeon control. In small doses and in larger animals and birds there may be a chance of recovery but in high doses and in smaller birds ingestion is fatal. It is marketed as a pest control poison product not an animal sedative”.
They also provided links — such as this one from the Australian Government — which described alpha-chloralose as a “poison.”

A CD by Justin Utley
© 2012 Justin Utley and Diversity Rules Magazine. All rights reserved.
New York City based singer-songwriter Justin Utley released his first full-length studio album in 6 years entitled ‘Nothing This Real’ on November 11, 2011. Utley’s sophomore release follows a string of major market gay pride performances during the summer of 2011 including Denver, Los Angeles, Salt Lake City, Las Vegas, Atlanta, San Diego and Utley’s first international performance in Stockholm Sweden.
Released in 2005, Utley’s first album Runaway received critical acclaim from audiences and critics in the LGBT community and created a dedicated online following.
The lead single has been announced as Great Escape and was premiered by New York publication Next Magazine on their website on November 1st. It debuted on Sirius-XM’s OutQ radio channel following Utley’s interview with the Six Pack show on November 2nd. A music video for the single is scheduled for production in early 2012.
Utley’s 2010 single Stand For Something won the 2011 OutMusic Award for Outstanding Country/Folk Song of the Year by the LGBT Academy of Recording Arts. A previously unreleased live version of the single, recorded at Salt Lake City Pride, is included on the new album.
An Ex-Mormon raised near Salt Lake City, Utah, Utley is perhaps the only openly gay performing artist to have survived ex-gay therapy, a practice that he vocally opposes. His experience coming to terms with his sexuality and religion have emerged as strong themes in his songwriting and on-stage storytelling.
“I’ve been asked if I could take any of it back, you know, what I’ve experienced. I wouldn’t,” says Utley. “Its part of me, my story, and its been a hell of a journey. And I’m here to share that.”
Utley is also known for his leading role as country superstar Tommy Dautry in the New York musical Our Country, for which he won Best Actor at the Planet Connections Theater Festival in 2010.
The album will be available for purchase on I-tunes and Amazon.com, as well as at:

Democracy in America directed by Romeo Castellucci is based on a text of the same name by French philosopher Alexis de Tocqueville, published in 1838. The play considers a number of themes presented in the text: American puritanism, the structure of democracy in relationship to a European aristocratic structure and its perils including the tyranny of the majority. The focus on the play seems to be a visual exploration of the text more than a critical or narrative reading. What results is a magnetic strangeness pointing to the distance of an anthropological viewpoint.

Calcium channel blockers (CCB), calcium channel antagonists or calcium antagonists are several medications that disrupt the movement of calcium (Ca2+) through calcium channels. Calcium channel blockers are used as antihypertensive drugs, i.e., as medications to decrease blood pressure in patients with hypertension. CCBs are particularly effective against large vessel stiffness, one of the common causes of elevated systolic blood pressure in elderly patients. Calcium channel blockers are also frequently used to alter heart rate, to prevent cerebral vasospasm, and to reduce chest pain caused by angina pectoris. N-type, L-type, and T-type voltage-dependent calcium channels are present in the zona glomerulosa of the human adrenal, and CCBs can directly influence the biosynthesis of aldosterone in adrenocortical cells, with consequent impact on the clinical treatment of hypertension with these agents.
CCBs have been shown to be slightly more effective than beta blockers at lowering cardiovascular mortality, but they are associated with more side effects. Potential major risks however were mainly found to be associated with short-acting CCBs.
A channel blocker (CB) or ion channel blocker (ICB) is a type of drug which binds inside the pore of a specific type of ion channel and blocks the flow of ions through it, resulting in an alteration of the electrochemical gradient of the cell membrane of neurons and therefore a change in neurotransmission.
There are several different major classes of channel blockers, including:
The following types which act on ligand-gated ion channels (LGICs) via binding to their pore also exist:
These types of receptor antagonists are referred to as noncompetitive or uncompetitive.
A calcium channel is an ion channel which displays selective permeability to calcium ions. It is sometimes synonymous as voltage-dependent calcium channel, although there are also ligand-gated calcium channels.
The following tables explain gating, gene, location and function of different types of calcium channels, both voltage and ligand-gated.
L-type Calcium channel blockers are used to treat hypertension.

The Conservative government has considered abandoning some of the greenhouse gas reduction goals set out in its 2007 green plan...
The draft proposal suggests Canada should set new targets that would be lower than what was originally proposed by the Conservatives.
For example, the proposal suggests that the oil and gas industry would have to cut 15 megatonnes of emissions, rather than 48 megatonnes under its Turning the Corner plan.
It also says projected growth in greenhouse gas emissions from the oilsands in northern Alberta will be 165 per cent by 2020 and proposes to cut that growth — not emissions — by 10 per cent.
Stephen Harper doesn't believe in global warming, and it's about high time he's pressed on his true opinion. Instead of debating the spin for cover, a little common sense tells the true story. A couple of weeks ago, longtime Conservative activist and a man with Harper's ear, Rick Anderson made a startling admission. When pressed about the debate over global warming, he argued that you didn't have to believe in it. Anderson said there is an economic component, doubters can look to increased efficiency as a reason to get behind this bogus claim of global warming. In a nutshell, the Conservative argument to placate their DENIER base and still appear to do something on the climate change file. If you actually look at the way the Conservatives have approached this issue, the above link a great example, you see that what Anderson suggests is THE approach.
The 2007 Turning The Corner plan was an unmitigated JOKE, that nobody took seriously. The fact that this government was openly discussing a decidedly weaker regime (if that is even possible), just prior to Copenhagen, speaks volumes about this shell game the Conservatives are playing. Harper simply DOESN'T believe in global warming, simply interested in putting something forth to take the heat off, but endorsing things so weak that they're useless. In essence, it's a HOAX and the question then becomes- will we be duped?
Instead of sitting around the little roundtables, and arguing whether the government's arguments have validity, maybe we could delve a little deeper than a birdbath for a change. We are being presented with a fraud. Proceed with that knowledge in mind, and dispense with the niceties. Repeat after me STEPHEN HARPER DOESN'T BELIEVE IN GLOBAL WARMING. Period.

Mumbai: A group of 91 farmers from Buldhana district in Maharashtra's Amravati have sought permission for Euthanasia - the practice of intentionally ending life - as they claim the state government has not provided remunerative prices for their crops.
In a letter submitted to the Governor and Sub-Divisional Magistrate, the farmers have sought permission to die as they are yet to receive an adequate price for their produce. To compound their woes, the farmers also say that they have not even received adequate compensation for their land purchased by the state government to build a highway. They say they have no option left barring Euthanasia as they are unable to feed their families and the helplessness is fast turning into despair.
While Supreme Court recently did recognise ‘living will’ by terminally-ill patients for passive euthanasia, the farmers'request will, quite obviously, be turned down. Social activitists though say the larger picture seeks attention. That the farmers are seeking permission to die shows their helplessness at the hands of government agencies. And the farmers of Buldhana district are hardly alone.
Earlier this month, over 30,000 farmers from across Maharashtra had marched over 180 kilometres to Mumbai to stage a protest demanding unconditional waiver of loans as well as electricity bills; implementation of the Swaminathan Commission recommendations, including an announcement of minimum support price for agriculture produce, and a pension scheme for farmers. The Devendra Fadnavis government eventually agreed to the demands.

The level of council house rent arrears in Angus has continued to fall as a result of actions taken by the housing division, neighbourhood service committee heard at their meeting last week.
However, convener of neighbourhood services, Councillor Jim Millar, warned that tenants should prioritise their payment of rent in the run up to Christmas.
He said: “I understand that at this time of year it can difficult for people to juggle their finances and we are always happy to assist tenants to make sure that they are receiving all appropriate benefits, but I’m sending out the clear message that payment of rent must be seen as a priority.
“Due to continuing efforts of, rent arrears now sit at 7.13%, a reduction from the previously reported figure of 7.16%.
“However, we are noticing a continuing trend in tenants abandoning their tenancies and leaving rent arrears.
“We have also had to exercise the ultimate sanction and evict five tenants since July this year for non-payment of rent, which is not what we wish to happen.”

Oh I know, you have probably had your fill of “New Year, New You” posts. I don’t want to change you, I just want you to be the best you, you can be. Let’s make 2018 that year where the baby steps lead to real accomplishments.
Image courtesy of Supertrooper at FreeDigitalPhotos.net
January baby steps:
Make a note of what you want your 2018 to look like. It can be anything from flossing more to running a marathon, it’s your list, your rules. Next to each action item write out how you plan on making this happen, buying floss or training, you get the idea. Make sure it’s realistic because this is your plan for the year. Commit to this plan and hopefully by next January you will be a much better you!
This is the perfect time of year for a healthy hearty bean soup. This simple whole food dish is made with the slow cooker so you can set it up in the morning and have it ready by dinner time with minimal effort.
Slow Cooker Pinto Beans Soup
2 cups pinto beans soaked overnight
4 quarts low sodium vegetable broth
2 tbsp tomato paste
1 tbsp cumin
1 tbsp garlic powder
1 tbsp dried oregano
1 tsp black pepper
1 tbsp red miso paste
1-2 bunch dandelion greens chopped
Place the beans, broth and spices in the slow cooker on low for 6 hours. Once the beans are soft to your liking pull out 1 cup of the liquid and whisk in the miso paste, add liquid back to soup, add the dandelion greens and serve.
So I am getting ready to start some seeds indoors and have been thinking of what I want to grow this year. I have some kobucha squash seeds that I saved that I will be planting in the next few days. I harvested them a little while ago so they will hopefully be viable.
I have some dill and garlic chives going on in the light shelf too. I also planted rosemary but I don’t think it’s germinating. There’s something there but they could be weeds from the garden I use garden soil and reuse potting soil so anything can be coming up.
I have tomatoes and peppers going strong, a little too strong and am afraid that they may outgrow their pots before mid-May. I was hoping to have them produce fruit inside but they are taking forever to grow (I know I am contradicting myself here, stay with me).
So that’s what I have, what about what I want? I want the squashes, I also want cucumbers. I have had NO LUCK with cucumbers, not sure why they produce fruit and it’s small and shrivels up in no time. I want beans, lots and lots of beans. Jared and I talked about it and we both agreed to try to plant beans this summer, I want to plant all of the legumes we eat: peas, black, kidney, navy, chickpeas, adzuki and pinto. I am not sure if any of these are pole or bush or whatever so it will be fun to experiment. Now I just need a spot to start them inside
What’s on your garden wishlist? Please feel free to share what you are planning on doing this year and any tips you have for beans!

This is a small avocado plant that’s kept in the window over the sink. It’s such a pretty plant. I love the way it’s coming out of the seed, splitting it in two. After seeing a few of the beans come up you can see the relationship it has to legumes.

The Westfield Promenade, one of three Westfield properties in Warner Center, spans across approximately 36 acres at 6100 N. Topanga Canyon Boulevard. Under plans submitted last year to the City of Los Angeles, the decaying shopping center would be replaced over the course of 15 years with a development consisting of:
- 1,432 residential units
- 244,000 square feet of retail space
- 629,000 square feet of office space
- Two hotels with 572 guest rooms
- A 15,000-seat entertainment and sports complex
Architecture firm Johnson Fain is master planning the development, which would create a series of high-rise and podium-type buildings buit around a new street grid and public green space. The largest of the proposed builings - a 28-story, 502-foot tall office tower - would create a new apex in the Warner Center skyline.
Construction of the Promenade 2035 development is expected to occur over four phases, starting in 2021 and concluding in 2033.

European Parliament Research on Brexit
On this page, you will find a list of publications produced by the European Parliament on Brexit.
UK Withdrawal ('Brexit') and the Good Friday Agreement November 2017, European Parliamentary Research Service
Start of Brexit negotiations, June 2017 - European Parliamentary Research Service
The Brexit negotiations: Issues for the first phase, June 2017 - European Parliamentary Research Service
Outlook for Brexit negotiations, May 2017 - European Parliamentary Research Service
At a glance paper on the main legal issues concerning Brexit.
UK withdrawal from the European Union. Legal and procedural issues, April 2017 - European Parliamentary Research Service,
This in-depth analysis considers some of the legal and procedural issues surrounding the United Kingdom’s planned withdrawal from the European Union. It looks in particular at the formal exit process under Article 50 TEU and the EU institutions' preparations for negotiations. It also sets out some possible templates for future EU-UK relations, as well as the details of existing frameworks for cooperation between the EU and third countries.
Possible impacts of Brexit on EU development and humanitarian policies, April 2017 - Directorate-General for external policies,
Brexit could have a major impact on EU development and humanitarian policies. However, although Brexit is highly likely to happen, there are still uncertainties about the UK’s new foreign policy approach and its repercussions on aid. The UK may act under three different scenarios (nationalist, realist, cosmopolitan) with different consequences for EU aid. The UK’s leaving would challenge the EU’s role as the world’s leading donor: EU aid may decrease by up to 3 % and it could lose between 10 % and
13 % of its world aid share. Its presence, through ODA, in neighbouring countries throughout Eastern Europe and North Africa could be particularly affected, with a cut of between 1 % and 4 %, depending on different scenarios. The EU could react to Brexit by adopting two distinct approaches to foreign policy and development cooperation: either limiting its role to that of a regional power or growing to become a global leader. In the first approach, Brexit would have a very mild effect and would lead to very few policy challenges. However, in the second, the EU would need to compensate for the loss of Britain’s contribution to EU aid, both in quantitative and qualitative terms.
The Impact of the United Kingdom’s withdrawal from the European Union on Scotland, Wales and Gibraltar, April 2017 - Policy Department C: Citizens’ Rights and Constitutional Affairs,
Upon request by the AFCO Committee, the Policy Department for Citizens’ Rights and Constitutional Affairs has commissioned this in-depth analysis on the impact of Brexit on the devolved territories of Scotland and Wales as well as the Overseas Territory of Gibraltar. It examines the economic and political implications of Brexit on these territories, the consequences of the possible return to devolved administrations of formerly ‘Europeanised’ competencies and looks at how Brexit might affect their future status within the UK as well as their relations with the EU.
Consequences of Brexit in the area of public procurement, April 2017 - Policy Department A: Economic and scientific policy,
This paper examines the implications of the UK’s departure from the EU for the EU-UK legal relationship in the field of public procurement. It assesses, in comparison with the position under EU membership, the implications of four approaches found in the EU’s relationships with other trading partners: the EEA model; the GPA model; and, between these two, what we call an “EEA-minus” approach and a “GPA-plus” approach. It also notes the procurement-specific issues that may need to be addressed in any withdrawal agreement (or later transition arrangement). This document was prepared for Policy Department A at the request of the Committee on Internal Market and Consumer Protection.
The impact and consequences on acquired rights of EU citizens living in the UK and British citizens living in the EU-27, April 2017 - Policy Department C: Citizens’ Rights and Constitutional Affairs
On the request of the AFCO Committee, the Policy Department for Citizens’ Rights and Constitutional Affairs commissioned this study, which examines the concept of acquired (or ‘vested’) rights in public international law, analyses the gradual establishment and evolution of these rights and draws from case law as well as other precedents in order to establish the validity and force of acquired rights in customary and conventional international law. It also analyses the protection of such rights within the EU legal order, and examines the citizenship rights that will have to be taken into account during the UK withdrawal negotiations as well as their potential permanence in the EU and UK legal orders after Brexit. It concludes with an assessment on the legal force of acquired rights after Brexit and recommendations for their treatment during and after the withdrawal negotiations.
The Brexit Negotiations: An Assessment of the Legal, Political and Institutional Situation in the UK, March 2017 - Policy Department C: Citizens’ Rights and Constitutional Affairs,
Upon request by the AFCO Committee, the Policy Department for Citizens’ Rights and Constitutional Affairs commissioned an in-depth analysis on the political and institutional situation in the United Kingdom following the referendum on the UK’s withdrawal from the EU. The research analyses the post-Brexit political developments in the UK, the various parameters that should be taken into account, by both the UK government and the 27, in view of the Article 50 negotiations and the possible shape of the final deal and the future economic relationship, taking into account the EU obligations and the constraints of Theresa May’s government.
An Assessment on the Economic Impact of Brexit on the EU27, March 2017 - Policy Department A: Economic and Scientific Policy
This paper, managed by the Policy Department on Economic and Scientific Policies for the Committee on Internal Market and Consumer Protection, assesses the likely impact of Brexit on EU27, together with some scenarios for the terms of the UK’s secession. For the EU 27, the losses are found to be virtually insignificant, and hardly noticed in the aggregate. By contrast, for the UK, the losses could be highly significant, with various estimates up to ten times greater as a share of GDP. Impacts on some Member States – in particular Ireland – and some sectors in the EU27 could be more pronounced than the average for the EU27.
Challenges for EU cohesion policy. Issues in the forthcoming post-2020 reform, February 2017 - European Parliamentary Research Service
This briefing analyses a number of challenges of EU cohesion policy, with a focus on Brexit and the impact that the departure of the UK from the EU may have on the EU budget and consequently on the financial envelope for cohesion policy.
Brexit and the European Union: General Institutional and Legal Considerations, January 2017 - Directorate General for Internal Policies of the Union, Policy Department for Citizens’ Rights and Constitutional Affairs
This study was requested by the Committee on constitutional Affairs of the European Parliament. It examines the political and institutional steps taken, or to be taken, both by the UK and the EU in the context of the Brexit referendum vote, and into how matters may evolve in the coming months and years from a legal and institutional perspective. It analyses, in broad terms, the possibilities for a future relationship between the Union and its departing member and the consequences that the departure of a large Member State may entail for the rest of the policies of the Union and for the Union itself. The study also briefly examines the potential for institutional progress that opens with the departure of the United Kingdom.
Brexit implications for employment and social affairs, January 2017 - Policy Department A: Economic and Scientific Policy,
This document provides statistical and factual reference material relating to migration flows between the UK and the rest of the EU. It gives facts and figures relating to the population of EU-27 nationals living in the UK as well as UK citizens living in the EU-27. It also examines the impact of the EU-27 population on the UK’s social security and health care system and gives information on the UK’s uptake of EU funding.
Potential Concepts for the Future EU-UK Relationship in Financial Services, January 2017 - Policy Department A: Economic and Scientific Policy,
This study assesses the key impacts of the United Kingdom’s exit from the European Union on the financial system and its infrastructures, on financial firms and financial services under three alternative concepts for the future EUUK relationship. In addition to the impact on the ‘passporting rights’ of financial firms, particular emphasis is given to the impact on the regulatory framework governing i.a. credit institutions under a ‘third-country status’ scenario for the UK, the impact on payment systems and market infrastructures, as well as to certain aspects of the EU institutional framework governing the monetary and the financial system could be affected.
The UK’s potential withdrawal from the EU and single market access under EU financial services legislation, January 2017 - Policy Department A: Economic and Scientific Policy
In the aftermath of the UK’s vote to leave the EU, securing continued access to each other’s markets will be one of the key issues to be addressed in the exit negotiations. This paper examines how the current EU financial services legislation ensures or facilitates access to the EU single financial market for EU/EEA Member States and third countries. The analysis focuses on passporting/mutual recognition regimes for EU/EEA Member States and third country equivalence regimes. This document was provided by Policy Department A at the request of the ECON Committee.
The Impact and Consequences of Brexit for Northern Ireland, January 2017 - Policy Department C: Citizens’ Rights and Constitutional Affairs,
Legal position on the consequences of Brexit on Northern Ireland
Referendum on EU matters, January 2017 - Policy Department C: Citizens’ Rights and Constitutional Affairs,
This study was commissioned by the European Parliament’s Policy Department for Citizens’ Rights and Constitutional Affairs at the request of the Committee on Constitutional Affairs of the European Parliament. It analyses the political and legal dynamics behind referendums on EU-related matters. It argues that we have entered a period of increasing political uncertainty with regard to the European project and that this new political configuration will both affect and be affected by the politics of EU-related referendums. Such referendums have long been a risky endeavour and this has been accentuated in the wake of the Great Recession with its negative ramifications for public opinion in the European Union. It is clear that referendums on EU matters are here to stay and will continue to be central to the EU’s future as they are deployed to determine the number of Member States within the EU, its geographical reach, its constitutional evolution and adherence to EU policies. Only now they have become an even riskier endeavour.
Brexit: the United-Kingdom and EU financial services, December 2016 - Directorate-General for Internal Policies and Economic Governance Support Unit
This briefing prepared by the Economic Governance Support Unit describes the prominent role of the UK in the single market for financial services, and highlights which activities rely today on passporting for their daily business with the other 27 Member States. The briefing relies on publicly available information, including secondary sources, such as analytical papers done by research institutes and private sector companies. The briefing may be regularly updated pending new information.
An assessment of the impact of Brexit on euro area stability, November 2016 - Policy Department A: Economic and scientific policy
The notes in this compilation provide an indication of the possible economic and financial impact of Brexit on the euro-area/EU economy. Notwithstanding the potential adverse effects, Brexit could also provide an opportunity for far-reaching reform to the euro area governance. The notes have been requested by the Committee on Economic and Monetary Affairs as an input for the November 2016 session of the Monetary Dialogue.
Brexit - Possible economic impact for the euro area and the EU, November 2016 - Policy Department A: Economic and scientific policy
On 23 June 2016 the UK held a referendum on its membership in the EU. The majority of the British people voted for Britain’s exit from the EU (Brexit). The British Prime Minister announced her intentions to trigger the EU withdrawal procedure before the end of March 2017. Issues to be address pertain to the short run, when the impact of the uncertainty is key. In the longer term trade disintegration is likely to play a powerful role. Brexit is also a manifestation of discontent among EU citizens and could therefore provide an opportunity for far-reaching reforms that would make the euro stronger? This document was provided by Policy Department A at the request of the IMCO Committee.
The UK Referendum: A First Assessment for the Euro Area and the EU, July 2016 - European Parliament and European Commission-Directorate General for Economic and Financial Affairs
The economic landscape has not changed much in the weeks since the spring forecast was published on May 3, but the results of the UK referendum on 23 June have modified the conditions for the way ahead. The ‘leave’ vote has resulted in financial market volatility, abrupt exchange rate changes, and a substantial increase in uncertainty. These developments and the uncertainty resulting from what is expected to be a protracted period of exit negotiations have the potential to damage the recovery in the EU. While uncertainty is expected to diminish over time, forthcoming changes in the economic... and political relationships between the UK and Member States could have a longer lasting impact on the medium to long-term economic outlook
The Interactions between the EU's External Action and the Common Agricultural Policy, July 2016 - Policy department B: Structural and Cohesion Policies,
The CAP has been strongly influenced by the EU’s External Actions. The various Enlargements, and trade policies to favour its neighbours to both the East and South, and for its former colonies, have left their mark. However it is external pressures through the GATT/WTO that have had the most defining effect. Current pressures stem from a new generation of Free Trade agreements, the need to reduce agriculture’s greenhouse gas emissions, and to respond to Brexit.
Briefing - What Think Tanks are thinking: ‘The UK Referendum’, II edition, June 2016 - European Parliamentary Research Service
This note offers updated links to recent commentaries and reports from major international think tanks on issues raised by the British referendum
Article 50 TEU, Withdrawal of a Member State from the EU, February 2016 - European Parliamentary Research Service
The legal consequence of a withdrawal from the EU is the end of the application of the EU Treaties (and the Protocols thereto) in the state concerned from that point on. EU law ceases to apply in the withdrawing state, although any national acts adopted in implementation or transposition of EU law would remain valid until the national authorities decide to amend or repeal them. A withdrawal agreement would need to address the phasing-out of EU financial programmes and other EU norms.

With Africa’s increased commitment to climate action, a Trillion Dollar$ funding has been set to target Sustainable Businesses, as there is pressure on organisations to become Certified Sustainable Businesses.
The Africa Development Bank (AfDB), in partnership with the Global Center on Adaptation (GCA); an international organisation focused on fast-tracking solutions to climate change, has committed Ksh145.5 billion ($996.6 million) to support youth startups in the Africa, as a tool to combat climate change.
Speaking during the Africa Youth Climate Assembly, AfDB’s President, Akinwumi Adesina said youth investment is necessary in ensuring Africa’s growth and stability; “The youth need investment, not empowerment.”
The YouthADAPT programme is an annual competition, organised by AfFB in partnership with GCA and is aimed at paving the way for sustainable job creation through support for entrepreneurship and youth-led innovation in climate change.
The competition allows young entrepreneurs, microenterprises, and SMEs in Africa to submit innovative solutions and business ideas that can drive climate change adaptation and action.

Officials said Monday that they’ve approached Aquarion about placing some town-specific lettering—such as ‘New Canaan, Home of the Rams’—on the water towers at Waveny.
The water company is about to undertake a major project to repaint the towers, and Utilities Commission member Dan Welch said he broached the subject with its project manager to see what was possible.
“This seems like something pretty cool that we should be able to do as a town, is to get our name on the towers,” Welch said during the commission’s regular meeting, held at Town Hall.
“I talked to him [the Aquarion project manager] about colors. They’re white. They’re in the middle of Waveny. They’re right near the high school. Why can’t we have some kind of color? And I’m not saying one is black and one is red—that’s a bit much.”
The first water tower at Waveny went up in the mid-1960s, according to Recreation Director Steve Benko. The second one went up in the early-‘90s, he told NewCanaanite.com during an interview.
Aquarion owns the water towers and the land that encircles them, commissioners said.
It isn’t clear just how lettering could be affixed to the towers.
Asked about the possibility of a painted message, Aquarion’s director of public relations, Peter Fazekas said: “It’s Aquarion’s policy to paint water tanks in our standard colors, light blue or green, to blend into their surroundings. We do not embellish our tanks with branding including our own logo. We follow this policy in our entire 51-town service area.”
Welch said he had raised the possibility of a vinyl wrap and that his contact at the company was responsive to that idea. The Board of Selectmen also have looked into the possibility of getting a New Canaan-specific message on the towers, which overlook the Orchard and Coppo Fields at Waveny as well as a turf playing field, tennis courts, Dunning Stadium and track at New Canaan High School to the north.
Commissioner Derek Bennett suggested light-heartedly that perhaps Randy the Ram could be represented at the top of one tower.
According to Welch, Aquarion’s crew this month will begin dismantling the cellular infrastructure now on the water towers and the project will take at least three months.
“This is on a timeline now,” he said.
Should the project appear feasible, next steps include figuring out who will own the effort from New Canaan’s side, speaking to Realtors and opening up conversations about possible funding, Welch said.

Q. I don't believe I've ever seen any columns regarding the beautiful, charming country of Slovakia, "the jewel of Europe." I will be taking a tour there this summer, and although my itinerary is already planned, I thought you might offer some insight on the highlights and places of interest in my family's homeland.
My trip will visit the cities of Bratislava, Piestany, Detva, Zdiar, Kezmarok, Lominica, Stara Lubovna, Bardejov, Presov, Kosice, Martin and Cicmany. -- Barbara P., Lake Worth
A. Since Slovakia has no tourist offices in the United States, and not much of one in Europe, getting information on the country is like pulling teeth. My never having been in Slovakia didn't help either.
Tatra Travel, a travel agency in New York (212-486-0533), can help with air transportation, package tours or arrangements for independent travelers in the Slovak Republic, and can provide some tourist advice. A spokesperson there said Americans heading for the Slovak Republic fly into Prague, Czech Republic, or Vienna, Austria, and change planes for Bratislava, the Slovak capital. Bratislava is near the border of both Austria and the Czech Republic. Czech Airlines, 877-293-4225, has packages to Slovakia that combine Bratislava and Kosice with Prague or Budapest.
Mainstream guidebooks are helpful. The best I found were the Rough Guide to the Czech and Slovak Republics, and Lonely Planet Guide to the Czech and Slovak Republics. I also found a fairly good section on Slovakia in Let's Go, the Budget Guide to Eastern Europe. Most guidebooks that cover all of Europe -- Frommer, Fodor and such -- include Slovakia.
And I got help on the Internet, accessing Slovakia through the search engine Yahoo. It's described as a nice little country, apparently the poor relative of the more prosperous Czech Republic. The closest I have been to Slovakia was in Zakopane, Poland, in the Carpathian Mountains that the two nations share. Zakopane is very Alpine, reminiscent of Austria and Switzerland, complete with high mountains and men in traditional outfits.
Other things the guidebooks and Internet told me:
You'll find a strong Hungarian influence, especially in the food: dumplings served with everything, goulash and lots of paprika.
The beer is said to be great, and white wines get praise.
There are many ethnic Hungarians, since the country was under Hungarian rule for a thousand years as part of the Hapsburg dynasty. Adding to the population mix are descendants of Romans, Tartars, Saxons, Celts and Romanians, making for a rich folk culture.
Slovakia's rail network is included in the European East Pass (also good in Austria, the Czech Republic, Hungary and Poland) but not included in the Eurailpass. There is also an intercity bus network.
Valid passports are necessary, but Americans need no visa to visit Slovakia.
The guidebooks describe Slovakia as full of beautiful mountains, rambling wilds and ruined castles. Signs and instructions are usually written in Slovak, Russian and German, but English speakers can get help in the Slovak Spectator, an English language paper in Bratislava that has a section on restaurants, theater productions, nightlife and other things of interest to visitors.
I learned that after the separation into two nations in 1992, the Czech Republic opened its own tourist office, the Czech Center, 1109 Madison Ave., New York, NY 10028, phone 212-288-0830.
Rail ideal for day trips
Q. We will be traveling to Belgium and Paris in mid-July. Could you please give us some advice on what would be the best (fastest, cheapest and easiest) way to travel from Brussels to Bruges and Bruges to Paris? We would also like your help in finding the best way to take a one-day round trip from Paris to sightsee in Rouen and Honfleur. -- Jeffery M., Fort Lauderdale
A. The choice for covering distance in Europe for travelers who are not on an escorted bus tour is between rental cars and trains. In planes, you miss all the scenery. You are looking only for transportation between cities, and you certainly don't want to drive in Paris or Brussels. That leaves trains.
I don't have a detailed train schedule, but according to the 2000 Eurail catalog, Europe on Track, high-speed Thalys trains link Bruges and Paris in 2 hours, 25 minutes. Take any train from Brussels to Bruges, but do yourself a favor and book seats on the Thalys to Paris to experience the latest generation of premier French TGV-style trains, high on comfort and speed. Thalys runs promotions now and then, shaving prices.
In Paris, you can buy a Paris Visite card good for two, three or five consecutive days of unlimited travel on the city's Metro, RER (suburban rail) and bus systems.
A number of companies offer day tours out of Paris, and I don't know whether a Rouen-Honfleur trip is among them. If so, it would be a rush to do both places justice in one day. Ask at your hotel and/or American Express office, and if you can't find the trip you want, catch a train from Paris to Rouen, then look for a bus excursion to Honfleur or catch another train to get there. Both can be explored on foot since their main attractions are clustered downtown. You can be a do-it-yourselfer with the Michelin Green Guide Normandy, or with a brochure from the local tourist office.
I'd stretch this into a two-day trip. That way you could stop off to see Claude Monet's great home and gardens at Giverny on the way to Rouen (get off the train at Vernon and catch a bus or cab to nearby Giverny).
To order the Europe On Track catalog, discuss options, buy Paris Visite cards or make train reservations, call Rail Europe at 888-382-7245. For a Western France Travel Planner, request one by phoning France on Call, 410-286-8310.
You should have a memorable trip, having picked some of the choicest European travel destinations.

The newest engine line at General Motors’ Town of Tonawanda plant relies on a mix of automation and human skill, and reflects the automaker’s focus on efficient, flexible manufacturing.
Production of the new “Generation V” small-block V-8 and V-6 engines began earlier this year. GM Tonawanda makes them for the 2014 Chevrolet Corvette, Silverado and GMC Sierra. The new line is the result of a $400 million investment that GM announced in 2010.
GM Tonawanda on Wednesday hosted automotive industry journalists, most from out of town, to showcase its Generation V engines. The 2014 Sierra and Silverado are already in showrooms, and the 2014 Corvette is due to arrive by the end of the current quarter. The Generation V family of engines will power nine GM models by 2015, said Steve Finch, the Tonawanda plant manager.
The section of the vast GM complex devoted to producing the small-block engines is a hive of carefully coordinated activity. Yellow robots glide on tracks above the production floor, picking up and moving objects. Other machines make specific steps of the engine-building process run efficiently. Still other machines subject engines to checks, searching for leaks or other flaws.
“These machines get into hairsplitting kinds of accuracy on a repeatable basis, to make sure we’re producing every engine to the exact specifications,” Finch said.
As each engine is built, a “track and trace” system collects machining and assembly data about it. That way, even if problems arise much later, information about how an engine was built can be retrieved and analyzed.
One eye-catching operation on the plant floor is a machine called an automated cylinder head collection system, which can assemble 48 parts in just 40 seconds.
Finch acknowledged that when he first saw a video of how this “smart cell” machine works, he was not enthused about allowing it into the Tonawanda plant. He was wary of entrusting to the machine a complex subassembly task that, on previous engine lines, was handled by four to six robots and three to four people per shift.
But Finch says the results have won him over. “It’s been one of our best operating pieces of equipment we’ve had in the whole place,” he said.
The technology used in making Generation V engines emphasizes flexibility, so operators can switch between production of different kinds of products much more efficiently than in the past. “This is the newest, latest and greatest for General Motors that’s here today,” said Jordan Lee, global engineer and program manager for small-block engines. “It represents the latest technology we have.”
But automation is not the whole story.
“None of these engines make themselves,” Finch said. “Without the people in this process, none of this works.”
While some tasks in the creation of Generation V engines are automated, others are not. On the assembly line, GM moved toward a system that relies heavily on workers, Lee said.
“They’re craftsmen,” he said. “They really are hand-assembling these engines. And we went purposely back towards that because not only is it very viable to make a high-quality engine, it’s more interesting for the technician who’s putting engines together, and they feel like they are really creating something special, which we know that they are.”
With the new technologies installed at the plant, “we are not looking to eliminate jobs,” Lee said. “We’re not looking to replace people with machines. We want to make sure that people have a lot of high-quality work to do.”
GM Tonawanda employs a total of 1,862 hourly and salaried workers. The head count has been climbing thanks to the new Generation V line, as well as another engine line, representing a $425 million investment, that debuted last year. “We’re really very, very proud of the investment GM has made in this facility, and what it means to the community,” Finch said. In late August, about 8,000 people visited in one day for tours marking the plant’s 75th anniversary.
The Tonawanda engine plant produced more than 270,000 engines in 2012. Several years ago – prior to the recession, the phaseout of older engine lines and GM’s financial woes – the site routinely produced more than 1 million engines per year.
The plant is now in a “turnaround” phase, rebuilding its annual output with the new engine lines, Finch said.
“We probably won’t get back to that million within the next few years,” he said, “but we’re certainly getting close to that number.”

A woman found a dead newborn with the umbilical cord still attached in the back yard of her north Tempe home Wednesday night, police said.
The infant was found in the 300 block of East Fillmore Street at 6:50 p.m. when the woman went into her back yard to feed her dog, said Tempe police Sgt. Dan Masters.
The unidentified woman discovered the infant wrapped in a pile of towels and a bag lying next to a wall in the northeastern corner of her yard. She declined comment.
"She is obviously very distraught and upset," Masters said.
Police did not know how long the infant had been dead and were obtaining a search warrant for the back yard Wednesday night.
Police are investigating whether the baby was tossed from an alley that runs behind the house or was placed in the yard.
The neighboring home to the east was also taped off as part of the crime scene.
Bettie Monroe, who lives across the street, said the incident was sad.
"I can’t see anyone going and having a baby and throwing it into someone’s yard," Monroe said.
Mim Johnson, who lives two houses from where the baby was found, said the alley and neighborhood are usually quiet.
"It’s horrifying for someone to be in a position to have to dispose of a baby," said Johnson, who has lived in the neighborhood for 22 years.
An Arizona law that took effect August 2001 allows mothers or a designee to leave an unwanted infant anonymously at sites such as fire stations, hospitals and child welfare agencies without being prosecuted. Babies must be less than 72 hours old, unharmed and should be given directly to an authorized person such as an on-duty firefighter or hospital worker.

Tracing the role that nature played in Roosevelt's storied career, Brinkley brilliantly analyzes the influence that the works of John James Audubon and Charles Darwin had on the young man who would become our twenty-sixth president. With descriptive flair, the author illuminates Roosevelt's bird watching in the Adirondacks, wildlife obsession in Yellowstone, hikes in the Blue Ridge Mountains, ranching in the Dakota Territory, hunting in the Big Horn Mountains, and outdoor romps through Idaho and Wyoming. He also profiles Roosevelt's incredible circle of naturalist friends, including the Catskills poet John Burroughs, Boone and Crockett Club cofounder George Bird Grinnell, forestry zealot Gifford Pinchot, buffalo breeder William Hornaday, Sierra Club founder John Muir, U.S. Biological Survey wizard C. Hart Merriam, Oregon Audubon Society founder William L. Finley, and pelican protector Paul Kroegel, among many others. He brings to life hilarious anecdotes of wild-pig hunting in Texas andbadger saving in Kansas, wolf catching in Oklahoma and grouse flushing in Iowa. Even the story of the teddy bear gets its definitive treatment.
Destined to become a classic, this extraordinary and timeless biography offers a penetrating and colorful look at Roosevelt's naturalist achievements, a legacy now more important than ever. Raising a Paul Revere–like alarm about American wildlife in peril—including buffalo, manatees, antelope, egrets, and elk—Roosevelt saved entire species from probable extinction. As we face the problems of global warming, overpopulation, and sustainable land management, this imposing leader's stout resolution to protect our environment is an inspiration and a contemporary call to arms for us all.
