Mr. Meredith has here collected and arranged his most characteristic poems, and the volume possesses an added interest for the thousands of admirers of the great poet-novelist from the fact that it contains his own definitive selection. The book has a frontispiece portrait of the author, and is sold at $1.75. The Academy remarks that Stevenson "placed Mr. Meredith next to Shakespeare in all literature "-a dictum reinforced by Mr. I. Zangwill's assertion that “not since Shakespeare has England produced a man with so extraordinary a gift of poetic expression."

It was as “ J.

Of this new novel the Boston Herald says: " The Tormentor' has much of the brilliancy and mental activity of ‘Nancy Noon,' and it is much maturer in its swift development of criminology. . None but a man as sure of his methods as Balzac would have dared to venture upon so original a study."
American Nobility. By Pierre de Coulevain
(12mo, $1.50.) “It stands so far above the ordinary novel of the day, in respect to range of thought and method of treatment, that only an extended analysis could show its social and ethical as well as artistic importance. As a study .f international conditions it is both acute and profound,” says the Boston Beacon. Literary Love Letters.

To the notable company of authors represented in this fascinating series, bound in green and gold and each with a frontispiece etching (each 16mo, $1.25), there have just been added four new volumes : J. M. Barrie's “Auld Licht Idylls," which, as the Philadelphia Times says, "are pure delight,” and the same author's “A Window in Thrums,” especially interesting to re-read in the light of Margaret Ogilvy,” for the author himself says of “Jess": “Anything in her that was rare and beautiful she had

Song-Birds and Water-Fowl. By H. E. Parkhurst
The author of this attractive series of talks about land and water birds has already shown in “The Birds' Calendar” that one need not go far afield to pursue the study of our feathered friends. His easy descriptions are charmingly supplemented by the eighteen full-page pictures from the brush of Mr. Louis Agassiz Fuertes, which are truly noteworthy for their lifelikeness and artistic handling, and seem to bear out the assertion that this artist has in him the makings of an Audubon. (12mo, $1.50 niet.)
The Express Messenger. By Cy Warman
This titular story, with “ Other Stories of the Rail,” make up Mr. Warman's latest volume (12mo, $1.25) which is in key with his “ Tales of an Engineer, with Rhymes of the Rail,” that aroused such wide interest.

The Hartford Post says: “Students of the art of war will find in the book much that is of positive value, while every soldier who took part in the battle will peruse these lines with keen interest. The story is well told and clearly. It is a graphic account.”
Rudder Grange and Pomona's Travels
These two volumes of Mr. Frank R. Stockton's are classics, and the illustrations by A. B. Frost are just the one touch that could be added. The portrayal of “Pomona" could be entrusted to no other hand, for, as the Boston Traveller says, “seldom have author and artist so delightfully supplemented each other as is the case with Mr. Frank Stockton and Mr. A. B. Frost." (New and cheaper edition, each, $1.50.)
A writer in the Boston Post has said of Mrs. Burnett : "She has a beauty of imagination and a spiritual insight into the meditations of childhood which are within the grasp of no other writer for children,”—and these five volumes would indeed be difficult to match in child literature.

Birch.) “ The author has caught the true spirit of Shakespeare's time, and paints his home surroundings with a loving, tender grace," says the Boston Herald, while the Saturday Evening Gazette says: “It is written with so gentle and loving a hand that it has the charm of novelty added to its other charms."
An Old-Field School Girl. By Marion Harland (Illustrated, 12mo, $1.25.) “As pretty a story for girls as has been published in a long time,” says the Buffalo Express, and the Chicago Tribune is even more appreciative : “Compared with the average books of its class 'An Old-Field School Girl' becomes a classic,” while the Baltimore Sun declares: “It is a quaint piece of local color in a field Marion Harland knows well and describes with fine appreciation."
Lords of the World. By A. J. Church Or the “Story of the Fall of Carthage and Corinth.” (Illustrated, 12mo, $1.50.)

W. Chadwick, Dr. C. Villiers Stanford, etc. The volume is uniform with, and a fitting companion to, the popular “ Field-de Koven Song Book.”

One of the oldest buildings on NC State University’s campus is now renovated and certified nationally for sustainable construction and energy efficiency.
Following a significant renovation, the 1920s era Yarbrough Steam Plant received certification forLeadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) at the silver level.
“It is a great accomplishment that one of the oldest buildings on campus is now recognized for its modern sustainability features,” said Liz Bowen, a University Sustainability Office program coordinator specializing in sustainable buildings.
As part of the utility network that supplies energy to campus buildings, the large mechanical equipment within Yarbrough uses significant energy and generates excess heat. The renovation included major efficiency upgrades such as replacing boilers and related mechanical systems as well as improving the building’s insulation and ventilation.
Best known for its landmark “State College” smokestack, Yarbrough is the university’s sixth campus building to achieve LEED certification and the first major renovation to be certified.
“By renovating an existing building instead of constructing a new building, we maintained an iconic, historic building on campus while also significantly reducing construction and demolition waste,” Bowen said.
The renovation included high efficiency plumbing fixtures and lighting as well as exclusive use of paints and sealants certified for low volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions, which optimize the building’s indoor air quality. Half of the wood-based construction material used during the renovation was certified sustainable and 20 percent of construction materials contained recycled content. Outside, native vegetation reduces the need for irrigation and bicycle racks encourage alternative transportation.
NC State has several other buildings amid the LEED certification process, including Cates Utility Plant, Wolf Ridge Student Apartments, Talley Student Union and the Carol Johnson Poole Clubhouse.

When Fruit and Vegetables begin to ripen, they give off a naturally occurring gas to enable and promote further ripening. That gas is Ethylene. Producers can control the ripening process by measuring when the fruit is ready to ripen – naturally occurring Ethylene when fruit and vegetables are beginning the ripening process is in the 1000 ppb (parts per billion) concentration. When this process begins they can then inject additional Ethylene into ripening rooms to promote and control the time and process to get fruit and vegetables to market faster.
Ripening rooms are typically environmentally controlled rooms where fruit and vegetables are subjected to controlled humidity (80-90%), temperature (80-90oF) and a constant concentration of Ethylene typically about 150-200 ppm (parts per million).
An Ethylene gas monitor that can withstand changes in humidity and temperature and can continue to be accurate with consistent concentrations of gas (diffusion gas detectors may become ‘poisoned’ and inaccurate with a constant concentration of gas) would be ideal in this application. The Bacharach Multi-Zone is the right solution to control the Ethylene ripening process.

CHURCH HILL — A Church Hill man with an extensive driving record fled a traffic stop in Hawkins County early Thursday morning but was unable to escape after leading pursuing police officers to his own back yard.
Hawkins County Sheriff’s Office Deputy Don Mitchell stated in his report that shortly before 1 a.m. Thursday he observed a rough looking 1993 Mercury Tracer station wagon weaving across lines eastbound on Highway 11-W near Church Hill.
“I then stopped the vehicle and upon making contact with the driver, later identified as James Fawbush, he refused to turn off his engine,” Mitchell said. “As I opened the door the vehicle sped away.”
The chase passed through Mount Car- mel, turned around, and then headed back toward Church Hill.
Eventually Fawbush, 36, led the chase to his home at 126 Housewright Hollow Road, where he “was forced to stop in the back yard of his residence.”
“He refused commands from officers to stop the engine or place the car in park,” Mitchell stated in his report. “Officers were able to turn off the motor and place the subject into custody after a brief struggle. He had a strong odor of an alcoholic beverage about his person.
“He staggered and was aggressive.”
Fawbush allegedly told assisting Church Hill officer Kevin Grigsby that he drank “six tall boys” — a phrase used to describe 24-ounce cans of beer. A normal can of beer is 12 ounces.
A computer check revealed Fawbush to be convicted on three previous occasions as a habitual motor vehicle offender between 2001-04, four prior DUI convictions between 1994-2001, and five previous driving on revoked convictions between 1992-2003.
Thursday morning Fawbush was charged with evading arrest, aggravated assault, DUI fifth offense, driving on revoked sixth offense, habitual motor vehicle offender, and violation of the implied consent law for allegedly refusing to take a Breathalyzer test.
He remained lodged in the Hawkins County Jail Thursday evening on $10,000 bond.

The Nashville Predators have decided to buy out the contract of forward Matt Duchene, according to a source with knowledge of the situation. Duchene, who signed a seven-year, $56 million deal with the Predators in 2019, was placed on unconditional waivers, indicating that he must be bought out by a specific deadline.
The move comes as no surprise, as multiple outlets reported the possibility of the buyout. The buyout entails the Predators paying Duchene not to play for them, and it will have a cap hit of $2.56 million next season, followed by increasing amounts in the subsequent years.
Duchene's tenure with the Predators has been a mixture of highs and lows. Over the course of four seasons, he recorded 84 goals and 113 assists in 249 regular-season games.
Notably, he had a breakout season in 2021-22, becoming the first player in franchise history to score at least 40 goals in a single season. However, his production was inconsistent during his first two seasons with the team, managing only 19 goals and 26 assists in his first 100 games.
The decision to buy out Duchene's contract is part of a series of moves made by the Predators since the announcement of incoming general manager Barry Trotz. The team has been actively reshaping its roster, making trades involving players such as Nino Niederreiter, Mattias Ekholm, Tanner Jeannot, and Mikael Granlund. Additionally, head coach John Hynes was fired, and Andrew Brunette was hired as his replacement.
Trotz had reportedly been attempting to trade Duchene but found no takers, ultimately leading to the decision to pursue a buyout. The move provides valuable salary-cap space for the Predators at a time when the cap has been heavily impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic.
The Nashville Predators have selected Joey Willis, a center from the Saginaw Spirit, in the NHL draft
In the NHL Draft, Joey Willis, a center from the Saginaw Spirit, was chosen by the Nashville Predators in the fourth round. This selection makes Willis the 64th player from the Saginaw Spirit to be drafted by the NHL.
Hailing from Elmhurst, Illinois, Willis was the 111th overall pick in the draft. He becomes the third Saginaw Spirit player to join the Predators, following Vaclav Meidl in 2004 and Josh Shalla in 2011.
During the 2022-23 season, Willis performed impressively and earned a spot on the Ontario Hockey League All-Rookie Team, ranking fifth in rookie scoring with 44 points, including 15 goals and 29 assists.

Private-sector executives are sometimes known to grumble about government tax policies that amount to a bureaucratic maze. Why can’t the government just create a straightforward system, they wonder? And why does every decision take so darn long?
In Tysons Corner, the roles have been reversed, as the area’s major landowners have struggled for months to agree on how to raise $506 million for more than a dozen major road upgrades as the government waited.
The projects — including a new Beltway overpass and a widening of Route 7 — are considered critical to turning the sprawling area into an urban neighborhood built around four Metro stations expected to open in late 2013. The $506 million represents half of the expected $1.1 billion price tag for the projects. (Another $1 billion is needed for a grid of streets, transit and neighborhood improvements.)
But with the road improvements looming, the landowners — many of whom are competitors — are laboring to agree on who should pay what.
They recently voted down the most obvious way of raising the money, by creating a special tax district in which commercial landowners would contribute a few cents for every $100 of land they own. The landowners created such a tax district to raise as much as $400 million for the Metro expansion.
But the companies, which operate under the Tysons Partnership coalition, fall into three categories with very different priorities and statuses in the new Tysons Corner: those who need zoning approvals for new development, those who already have approvals and those who have little or no interest in development.
Landowners who have no interest in building or who do not require zoning changes don’t want to pay the additional costs. Some own shopping centers that are profitable despite the area’s constant state of construction. Others, particularly Lerner Enterprises and Macerich Co., are developing their properties but already have the needed approvals.
The Fairfax County Planning Commission canceled a number of committee meetings this spring as its members waited for the companies to find consensus. The coalition finally appeared with a plan Wednesday, but county officials were not impressed.
Keith Turner, senior vice president of Cityline Partners, and James D. Policaro, managing director of development for Lerner, told the committee that their group was far from achieving the required level of support for a Tysons-wide tax district, which is 51 percent of the landowners by value. Turner said the group reached only about 15 to 20 percent at a recent meeting.
Instead Turner and Policaro suggested that the $506 million be raised solely from the companies that are seeking zoning changes, such as Cityline, Capital One and the Georgelas Group.
But county officials expressed skepticism that the proposal was financially viable or even legal. Commissioner Frank de la Fe said it seemed “unequitable” that only some of the landowners would pay for improvements that all of them would enjoy. Policaro’s firm, for instance, would not pay for the improvements even as it constructs a 476,000-square-foot office building that could be ready for occupancy by 2014.
Barbara Byron, director of the Fairfax County office of community revitalization, suggested that, without a more reliable funding method, the county might impose a tax district to raise the money, similar to the way it does for leaf collection services or to build community centers.
With that in mind, Byron said the landowners might want to reconsider.
“It may be beneficial to them to think about a position in which they can control the terms and the conditions,” she said.

This five-volume documentary collection--culled from an international archival search that turned up over 14,000 letters, speeches, pamphlets, essays, and newspaper editorials--reveals how black abolitionists represented the core of the antislavery movement. While the first two volumes consider black abolitionists in the British Isles and Canada (the home of some 60,000 black Americans on the eve of the Civil War), the remaining volumes examine the activities and opinions of black abolitionists in the United States from 1830 until the end of the Civil War. In particular, these volumes focus on their reactions to African colonization and the idea of gradual emancipation, the Fugitive Slave Law, and the promise brought by emancipation during the war.

Rarely do I realize how complex the human body is until something goes wrong. When I get sick or injured, I’m suddenly acutely aware of the discrepancy between what my body is doing versus what it should be doing, and I find myself pining for normal. But once I reach normal again, I forget to be grateful for my health…until the next time I get sick.
This is a fairly common characteristic of being human, I think. When our lives are functioning well – whether it be our bodies, our relationships, or our finances – we tend not to think about them too much. But when we experience lack in any of these areas, it’s hard to think about anything else.
For most of us, our daily concerns oscillate back and forth between various things like work (finding a job, dealing with a difficult boss, managing stress), school (getting good grades, applying to a certain university, selecting the right classes), family (planning a wedding, running after little kids, taking care of ailing parents), travel (affording a vacation, getting time off work), moving (researching a good city or area to live, finding a house or apartment), making ends meet (qualifying for a bank loan, learning to budget), and health (booking a doctor’s appointment, waiting for test results, taking medications).
But there’s probably one thing that most of us don’t worry about or even think about on a regular basis – something that profoundly affects each and every one of these areas of our lives yet is invisible to us. Citizenship. Without citizenship, it is very difficult (and often impossible) to get work, attend school, take care of family, travel to another country, buy a house, pay the bills, or get medical care.
Just like we don’t think about the miraculous complexity of our bodies until something goes wrong, we tend not to think about our citizenship unless we don’t have one.
I’m not talking about immigrants who have a citizenship in their home country and apply for citizenship in a new country – I’m talking about people who have never had citizenship anywhere. They are stateless, unregistered in any system, unrecognized by any government, unprotected by any legal system. And there are between 10 and 15 million of them globally.
The Institute on Statelessness and Inclusion points out some of the main causes of statelessness:
Conflicts in nationality laws: Some countries grant citizenship based on nationality, and others give it based on place of birth. When these conflict, a person can be left without citizenship in either country. As a personal example, I was born in Kenya to parents who were Canadian citizens. If Canada had refused to give me citizenship because I wasn’t born in Canada, and Kenya refused to give me citizenship because my parents weren’t Kenyan, I would have been stateless. Thankfully, I had Canadian citizenship from birth, but many children aren’t so fortunate.
State succession: When part of a state secedes and becomes independent, or when a state dissolves into multiple new states, nationality becomes a question mark. A good example of this is the dissolution of the Soviet Union in the early 90s. An estimated 85% of stateless persons reported in Europe can be found in just four countries (Latvia, Russian, Estonia and Ukraine). The high rates of statelessness include people with expired Soviet passports who haven’t been able to acquire the nationality of the state in which they reside. The Terminal, a charming comedy with Tom Hanks, demonstrates some of the repercussions of sudden statelessness.
Arbitrary deprivation of nationality: This is when a state denies nationality to a specific group of people, based on ethnicity, language or religion. The Rohingya people, for example, have been denied citizenship in Burma, despite living there for generations.
Administrative barriers & lack of documentation: In some cases, people simply have difficulty accessing birth or other forms of civil registration, and without proof of place or date of birth or parentage, the state may reject them as nationals.
Inheritance of statelessness: This is the single biggest cause of statelessness globally. If a parent is stateless, chances are their child will be as well. These children will never know the protection of nationality.
One of the side effects of statelessness is that people become very vulnerable to all kinds of exploitation, including human trafficking. Here’s what that looks like:
- You’re not able to work legitimately, but you have to make a living somehow, so you’re more likely to seek out income in clandestine industries that are more dangerous
- You may be more willing to do desperate things, like believe a trafficker’s job offer in another country
- If you go missing, you’re not registered anywhere so the police/the government have no reason to launch an investigation or look for you
- You’re likely to be uneducated because you weren’t allowed to attend school, so if you’re trafficked, you may not even be able to read helpline information at airports or bus stations
A year ago, the UN launched the #ibelong campaign to raise awareness about statelessness, with the goal of stamping it out by 2024. Today, they’ve released a new report on child statelessness, and urging everyone to sign the this open letter.
Working together to end statelessness is a worthy goal, and for those of us who want to end human trafficking, this is a piece of that process. So let us consciously think about our citizenship today and express our gratitude by lending a voice on behalf of those who are stateless.
Because being a human should never be illegal.

We spread Chapter 26: The People of the Americas over the two weeks that Anne was here. Anne read the chapter to Ivy and helped her find North/Central/South America on a globe.
We didn’t do any extra reading for this chapter because the literature suggestions were all for later cultures. I was not able to find any age appropriate books on the Nasca, Olmecs, or Anasazi at our library. (I had hoped to add the Anasazi into this lesson, but it didn’t happen).
Digging For the Truth, “Secrets of the Nazca Lines”
(This series also has episodes that focus on the Olmecs and Anasazi, but we didn’t watch them.)
Even though we didn’t do any extra reading, we did manage to do two of the activities in the SOTW AG – “Make a Nasca Line Drawing” and “Make Tapioca Pudding.”
The tapioca was a mediocre hit. I love it, but Bean was so-so on it. It also took a long time to make. I ended up putting our iPad on the stove so we could watch Digging For the Truth while we stirred the pudding.
After we finished the pudding and show, we make Nasca Line Drawings. I gave both girls white paper and a white crayon. When they were done, they brushed watercolors on the paper in order to see their drawings.

An Illinois judge on Thursday ruled Hubert D. Thompson was insane when he hurled 66-year-old James Malone to his death March 30, 2007. Thompson will be confined to a high-security state mental institution and receive treatment.
A psychologist testified that Thompson was delusional and paranoid. Thompson had said he believed Malone was trying to kill him.
Thompson was once the nation’s top-rated defensive end prospect. He was ejected from the 2000 Citrus Bowl for fighting with a Florida offensive lineman. He also spent two days at a New Orleans Saints mini-camp, but was cut for starting a fight over use of an exercise bike.

Here is the fantastic sketch, designed by our own Vannessa:
And here is my take on the sketch:
My card base is SU Baja Breeze and the mats are SU Pink Pirouette. I decided to let the patterned papers make my card for me. They are all from the My Mind's Eye Cut & Paste Flair 6x6 pad. I thought they worked perfectly with Vannessa's sketch. I cut out the three middle panels from sheet in the pad. The sentiment is from Create With TLC. A couple of pairs of opaque gems finished my simple card.

Best tweets as Liverpool’s Luis Suarez ironically poses with a banana for an anti-racism message
Last season Liverpool’s Luis Suarez was charged with racially abusing Man United’s Patrice Evra.
Lots of footballers have today been posing for photos with bananas since Barcelona’s Dani Alves had a banana thrown at him last night.
Some of the best tweets on the rather ironic picture can be seen below:

Admirable sentiment from Suarez. Can't help but feel it would carry rather more weight had he shown any remorse for racially abusing someone

Quite a tough challenge to answer this in not too many words. Since the first EPB (Electronic Parking Brake) was seen on the 2002 BMW 7 Series, quite a number of different systems have appeared, from various suppliers, such as TRW (the US originators), Continental and Bosch. There are fundamentally two types, with variations within these. The simpler type employs a cable system, just as with normal lever handbrake systems, but with the cable tension applied by an electric motor, which operates the normal rear axle callipers/shoes – be they drums or discs. This route is obviously easier to engineer into systems derived from a traditional handbrake system, on cars where the EPB is possibly only a feature of high-specification variants.
The more advanced systems dispose of the cable and rely totally on electrics to operate an electric motor to actuate separate callipers on the rear wheel brakes. Such truly electronic systems can be integrated fully with the normal foot operated power assisted hydraulic brakes, where the power is nowadays supplied by a vacuum pump rather than intake manifold vacuum, as used to be the case. This means that at speeds beyond a certain point, typically 7 to 10mph, the EPB can be linked to electronically initiate operation of all four hydraulic brakes, and therefore the ABS system, in which case the EPB effectively becomes a full four wheels emergency brake. Various overrides can be built into the systems to prevent EPB brake release if doors are open, seat belts are not used in occupied seats, and also to prevent release if vehicle movement is detected. Release is allowed in an in-gear, ignition on, accelerator applied situation, with an anti-roll back lock-out. In either case, although the variations are probably easier to engineer into the fully electronic system, hill-hold, hold-assist, and similar systems are just integrated into the electronics, with input from wheel speed and other motion sensors, and timers, such that the brakes will either hold on after foot release for a few seconds, or if roll-back is detected by sensors. I hope this outlines the methods employed, although I think after your letter that this might be a suitable subject for longer description in Back to Basics! Many thanks for your interest and support. Best regards,

Building resilient communities: NMTC as a tool to fight the climate challenge
The impacts of climate change go far beyond rising temperatures, sea levels, and severe weather. They impact our food and water supply, our overall health, and the affordability of our communities. And while they affect all of us, it has been well established that the impacts are much greater on disadvantaged communities, which are often more vulnerable to disasters and take longer to rebuild from them.
So when it comes to protecting low-income communities from climate change, the New Markets Tax Credit (NMTC) industry needs to do more than check the boxes with green roofs and solar panels, and work instead toward building true resilience. The program’s flexibility means that with enough creative thinking, it can be an invaluable tool in the climate resilience toolbox. There’s room to incorporate green aspects into every deal, once you embrace the mindset that environmental, social, and economic health are all interrelated and interdependent.
And with the support of the Historic Tax Credit (HTC), renewable energy tax credits, and now additional tools included in the Inflation Reduction Act, that impact can stretch even further. For example, among the Act’s many climate-related provisions are $3 billion in “Environmental and Climate Justice Block Grants,” to be invested in “community-led projects in disadvantaged communities and community capacity building centers to address disproportionate environmental and public health harms related to pollution and climate change.” Many of the Act’s clean energy tax credits have bonuses or other components built in to incentivize investments in disadvantaged communities. (Learn more in this new CohnReznick video.)
At our 2022 NMTC Summit, representatives from environmentally minded community development entities (CDEs) and community development financial institutions (CDFIs) gathered on a panel to discuss their work and share insights toward harnessing the program to fight the climate challenge. Read on for a summary of top takeaways. (Want to hear the full conversation? Access all of our NMTC 2022 panels on demand now.)

What to build: Resilient communities
Communities aren’t just housing. They also need operating businesses; infrastructure, from power and water to education and healthcare; and access, to fresh and healthy food, transit, commercial retail banking, and more. Projects that meet those needs, and create jobs and wealth around them, will help give residents a solid foundation to better withstand the challenges ahead.
Community-centric, from start to finish
Everything in an NMTC project should be informed by the end user, and every project will have a different kind (and different kinds) of end user. Looking at data or photos won’t give the full picture; upfront, on-the-ground collaboration on all the minute levels of a project is critical.
Before committing to a project, hold community gatherings to discuss what they need most. What’s important for the project, what’s important for the community, and how can the two be aligned as best as possible? CDFIs want to see a project that isn’t someone’s siloed idea, but rather something that represents the voice of the community.
Later on in the project, if a promise to the community can’t be kept, circle back to them for a next-best solution. If the plan was to provide a grocery store but a tenant can’t be found, don’t find just any replacement – ask, what else do you need? A healthcare provider, a daycare?
Long-term, holistic benefits
Projects should provide opportunities to build broadly shared, intergenerational wealth long after the final brick is laid. Is there a way to bring community members in as owners – maybe not right off the bat, but eventually or over time? What structures can help distribute more of the wealth to the people experiencing disparities? What jobs can you create – and provide training for?
Look for interesting, dynamic projects that have wide “tentacles of impact.” A new recycling facility in a community that previously didn’t have one will not only save them the financial and environmental cost of shipping their recycling to another location, but also create recycling jobs right there in the community.
Better care for natural resources
For areas that have long had economies based on extracting their natural resources, what projects can help shift them to be more complementary and self-sustaining? How can you tap into the people who have lived in those landscapes the longest, and rely on their traditional ecological knowledge to best manage their resources and incorporate conservation principles?
Especially when working in rural or tribal areas, advance stewardship of lands and waters in a way that’s culturally restorative and racially and economically just. Center the community and their hopes and needs.
And again, think about how to leverage the natural resources of a region to create “green collar” jobs. The obvious examples are around forestry and timber, but the possibilities are broader – for example, South Carolina has excellent sand, and even seemingly barren, wide-open spaces might present opportunities for solar or wind farming. Focus on projects that leverage those natural resources and create quality jobs and outcomes.
How to build it
While green building isn’t the only solution to climate and sustainability challenges, it’s still important. And as our panelists demonstrated, it’s another area to employ open minds and creative, critical thinking to reach the next level.
Look beyond what a supposedly green building component is, and further up the supply chain. Who’s benefiting from the sale of this item? Where did it come from? Was it produced with ethical supply and labor?
Take timber, for example. It seems like a safe enough bet: Timber production emits less greenhouse gases than steel or other building materials, and its use actually traps CO2 that may otherwise end up in the atmosphere. But is your project’s timber coming from a clear-cut supplier, or one that practices agroforestry and supports biodiversity? Is the company supporting intergenerational wealth building, and investing back in the areas it harvests from?
Whether you’re looking for a supplier to collaborate with or a startup to fund, keep in mind that innovation doesn’t only come from Silicon Valley – the cheaper solar panel, the more efficient wind turbine.
Think about “old technology,” and what we can learn from frontline communities themselves, especially from indigenous communities. Consider areas where cultures have long practiced forest management in ways that actually help prevent fires and other disasters.
Reduce, reuse, revitalize
If not reinforced/rehabilitated, cultural landmarks in low-income communities may be vulnerable to natural disasters. Using NMTCs, HTCs, and other credits to repurpose them is a win-win: You’re not only preserving buildings that are important to communities, but also saving the energy and materials that would be required to demolish the building and rebuild it from scratch. After all, as the saying goes, the greenest building is the one that’s already built.
There are extra challenges around implementing environmental measures within National Park Service preservation standards: Upgrades to electricity and window insulation will need to take historical design into consideration, for example, and rooftop solar panels may be denied if they change the way the building looks. But with the variety of programs available, there are opportunities to pull together solutions: New Markets allocations can help mitigate the cost of historically appropriate insulated windows, and community solar can provide cleaner energy in a less visible way.
Keep the momentum
Everyone in the NMTC industry has great stories to share around the work that has been done so far, and getting that word out there is critical to making sure it continues. Reach out to senators and other leadership to show them the game-changing projects happening in their districts, and make sure that they know those projects happened because of the New Markets and Historic tax credits, renewable energy incentives, and other public policy efforts. Advocate for climate policy to include reforms supporting that broader definition of resilience. As NMTC rules, regulations, and applications come up for review, voice your support for retaining the “environmentally sustainable features outcome” and implementing other components that keep these issues top-of-mind.
There are no easy answers to building climate resilience; these are complex challenges, and they require complex solutions. The outcomes may be slower and more difficult to quantify than others we’re used to. But if applied correctly, the NMTC program can be a tremendous asset in the climate fight. A flexible, creative, dynamic approach that enables you to really address the challenges specific to each community – and enable their growth – will be key to success.

Aquaporin OsPIP1;1 promotes rice salt resistance and seed germinationLatest updated: May 25, 2020
Chengwei Liua, Tatsuya Fukumotoa, Tadashi Matsumotoa, Patrizia Genab, Daniele Frascariab, Tomoyuki Kanekoc, Maki Katsuharac, Shihua Zhongd, Xiaoli Sune, Yanming Zhue, Ikuko Iwasakia, Xiaodong Dingd, Giuseppe Calamitab, Yoshichika Kitagawaa
Plant Physiology and Biochemistry, Volume 63, February 2013, Pages 151–158
OsPIP1;1 is one of the most abundant aquaporins in rice leaves and roots and is highly responsible to environmental stresses. However, its biochemical and physiological functions are still largely unknown. The oocyte assay data showed OsPIP1;1 had lower water channel activity in contrast to OsPIP2;1. EGFP and immunoelectron microscopy studies revealed OsPIP1;1 was predominantly localized in not only plasma membrane but also in some ER-like intracellular compartments in the cells. OsPIP1;1 exhibited low water channel activity in Xenopusoocytes but coexpression of OsPIP2;1 significantly enhanced its water permeability. Stop-flow assay indicated that 10His-OsPIP1;1-reconstituted proteoliposomes had significantly higher water permeability than the control liposomes. Overexpression of OsPIP1;1 greatly altered many physiological features of transgenic plants in a dosage-dependent manner. Moderate expression of OsPIP1;1 increased rice seed yield, salt resistance, root hydraulic conductivity, and seed germination rate. This work suggests OsPIP1;1 functions as an active water channel and plays important physiological roles.

Like many things in life, including enlightened human beings, blogs evolve.
I started this one in 2009 to publicize a new book that I authored named Am I Boring My Dog: And 99 Other Things Every Dog Wishes You Knew.
For some odd reason — the logic still eludes me — I decided to give my blog a different name than that of my book: Will my dog hate me if I dress him? is one out of the one hundred alluded to in the book’s subtitle.
Maybe I thought that a blog with pictures of dressed dogs would be a good marketing device. Maybe I was drinking heavily.
The pictures were cute, and some of the posts were funny, but they didn’t help sell my book — and why would they? I soon moved on to cover many of the book’s other topics, including serious issues like puppy mills, which should be abolished, and canine diabetes, which my dog Frankie had.
That’s the other thing that evolved. Sweet Frankie, who inspired the blog, is no longer my embodied companion, though he lives on in these posts.
Now there’s Madeleine, who has an entirely different personality. She’s kind of a badass, a bit of a tomboy. I would never consider dressing her.
But I still find plenty of other things to worry about. Like whether I’m boring her.
That’s the theme that kept turning up, both in my dog book and my dog blog: confusion and worry about what your canine housemate thinks of you.
And as they say on Facebook, it’s complicated.
That whole clothing thing, for example. In the general scheme of things, dressing up a pup is not harmful. Shelters routinely put scarves and other items of clothing on dogs to, well, humanize them, which makes them more adoptable. There’s nothing wrong with that — as long as the dog is not uncomfortable.
Dogs let their incisors do the talking when they’re really upset. They don’t lie in wait, plotting revenge for perceived slights. Nor do they experience humiliation, even if you dress them in tasteless clothing. As long as your mirth is accompanied by liver treats, they don’t care whether you’re laughing at them or with them.
In the end, this blog is for trying to sort the data out and for encouraging people to do the best they can in a world where information shifts constantly. This is a guilt-free zone. Motto: Make a mistake, learn from it, move on.
Now if only I could take my own advice. I still regret starting a blog with a different name from the book that it was meant to publicize — and one starting with “W” rather than “A,” thus assuring that it would appear at the bottom of any blog roll.
It’s too late to change the blog’s name. I guess I’ll have to write another book.

Agonists of the Contemporary Memoir
But writers such as Mairs and Knapp and Dubus make a subject of their afflictions and return to that subject. I have called them “agonists” because they seem to embody all of the original meanings of the Greek word that came down to us as agony: the struggle, the public contest, the anguish. These writers are performing their struggle with suffering; by writing they make public the pain that is ordinarily invisible and always located within the single self.

Facebook is at the centre of a fresh privacy storm after launching a feature which reveals the location of users.
The application, called Facebook Places, uses satellite tracking technology to allow people to ‘check in’ their current location and share the information with their friends.
But critics said it leaves users open to the risk of burglary, stalking and harassment.
They also said that many users did not fully understand the site’s privacy options and have no idea of the potential dangers.
The service is currently only available in the U.S. but the company plans to extend the feature worldwide.
