This statue of Mary McLeod Bethune will soon make history at the U.S. Capitol
By Rachel Treisman
Members of the public view the newly unveiled statue of Mary McLeod Bethune at the News-Journal Center in Daytona Beach on Oct. 12, 2021. It's slated to move to the U.S. Capitol Building's National Statuary Hall early next year.
Educator and civil rights activist Mary McLeod Bethune will soon make history as the first Black person to have a state-commissioned statue in the U.S. Capitol's Statuary Hall, when her statue replaces that of a Confederate general.
It's a milestone many years in the making. So what exactly will that groundbreaking statue look like?
Members of the public can now see for themselves, after the larger-than-life marble figure was unveiled in Bethune's home state of Florida earlier this week. It will remain on display in Daytona Beach for several months before taking its place in the nation's capital in early 2022, according to Florida Democratic U.S. Rep. Kathy Castor.
Bethune, the daughter of formerly enslaved people, was an influential educator and activist who — among her many accomplishments — founded the National Council of Negro Women, advised multiple U.S. presidents and created a boarding school for Black children that would later become Bethune-Cookman University in Daytona Beach.
The 11-foot statue, which weighs more than 6,000 lbs., was sculpted out of the largest (and last) piece of statuary marble from Michelangelo's quarry in Italy. It was created by artist Nilda Comas, who was chosen from a field of 1,600 applicants and is the first Hispanic master sculptor to create a statue for the National Statuary Hall State Collection.
Floridians can see the statue in person and learn more about Bethune's life at a free exhibit that will be held at Daytona State College's News-Journal Center through early December.
"Dr. Bethune embodies the very best of the Sunshine State. Floridians and all Americans can take great pride in being represented by the great educator and civil rights icon," Castor said. "I am glad that she is being rightfully recognized here in Florida before she travels to her place of honor and recognition by all of America in the U.S. Capitol."
A symbolic statue for an American icon
With a subject and sculptor secured, the creation of the actual statue involved significant fundraising and research efforts.
The Dr. Mary McLeod Bethune Project has spent years raising private funds for a marble statue for the Capitol, as well as another statue for a local park, a feature-length documentary and a K-12 curriculum module.
Bob Lloyd, the fund's board treasurer, told CNN that the nonprofit had raised about $800,000 in private donations. That money went toward the marble statue and a bronze replica that's been slated for a new riverfront park in Daytona Beach.
Before she started sculpting, Comas conducted intensive research at state and national archives, the State of Florida Archives and Bethune-Cookman University.
At Monday's unveiling, she called the four-year process "a beautiful journey."
"I just fell in love with Dr. Bethune and everything that she did," Comas said, according to Orlando NBC affiliate WESH.
The statue depicts Bethune wearing a cap and gown and a pearl necklace, holding a black rose in one hand and a walking stick in the other. She's standing in front of a stack of books, with a warm smile and what one local reporter described as eyes that "capture wisdom [and] kindness."
The base of the pedestal is inscribed with her name, her home state, birth and death dates, as well as one of her most famous quotes: "Invest in the human soul. Who knows, it may be a diamond in the rough."

These symbols each speak to an element of Bethune's life and legacy, the nonprofit explains.
The cap and gown represent her lifelong commitment to education, and the stack of books symbolizes her focus on expanding education for women and people of color specifically. The spines bear words from her one of her famous writings, her last will and testament: love, faith, racial dignity, courage, peace and "a thirst for education."
Bethune collected walking sticks during her lifetime, reportedly seeing them as symbols of refinement and leadership. The walking stick depicted in the statue is modeled after a gift she received from President Franklin Roosevelt, with whom she worked closely. He appointed her to the National Youth Administration in 1936, became the organization's director of Negro affairs and served as the only female member of Roosevelt's "Black Cabinet."
The black rose represents Bethune's work in education, as well as her belief that "loving thy neighbor" required interracial, inter-religious and international brotherhood, according to the nonprofit.
"Although there is no species of flower called a 'black rose,' Dr. Bethune was captivated by beauty of a rose with a particular dark hue," it explained. "These dark roses instantly became her favorite. She thereafter referred to her pupils as her 'black roses.' "
History many years in the making
The Capitol's Statuary Hall collection features two statues from each of the 50 states.
Florida first moved to replace one of its statues, honoring Confederate General Edmund Kirby Smith, in 2016. It was removed from the Capitol just last month.
State lawmakers unanimously approved Bethune as its replacement in 2018, after after a lengthy search process that included input from members of the public.
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis officially requested in 2019 — on the 144th anniversary of Bethune's birthday — that she represent Florida in the national statue collection.
"Dr. Bethune takes the place of an obscure Confederate general who has represented Florida in the state collection since 1922 and will be one of only a few women to represent a state in the 100-statue collection," Castor said.
Florida is not the only state to make such a change. Virginia is replacing its statue of the Confederate General Robert E. Lee with civil rights icon Barbara Johns, and there are ongoing efforts by some lawmakers to increase the number of women represented in the Capitol and remove Confederate statues from display.
There are just four other Black Americans represented in statues throughout the Capitol (and about a dozen others in paintings and murals): Frederick Douglass, Rosa Parks, Sojourner Truth and Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

Q: Angular 2: focusing input causes 'expression has changed after it was changed' error In my Angular 2 application, I want to have a list of inputs. Pressing Enter inside one of them would add a new input and immediately focus on it. This is a question that has already been asked on this site and Eric Martinez provided a neat answer to it that accomplishes that with a custom directive.
His solution is based on a dummy list of integers. I am having difficulties trying to adapt it to a more realistic scenario. I have forked Eric's plunk, so you can run the code here, but the most important file is this one:
//our root app component
import {Component, Directive, Renderer, ElementRef} from 'angular2/core'

class Person { name: string }

@Directive({
  selector : 'input'
})
class MyInput {
  constructor(public renderer: Renderer, public elementRef: ElementRef) {}

  // It won't work at construction time
  ngOnInit() {
    this.renderer.invokeElementMethod(
      this.elementRef.nativeElement, 'focus', []);
  }
}

@Component({
  selector: 'my-app',
  providers: [],
  template: `
    <div *ngFor="#input of inputs">
      <input
        (keydown.enter)="add()"
        [(ngModel)]="input.name"
        type="text"/>
    </div>
  `,
  directives: [MyInput]
})
export class App {
  inputs: Person[] = [{name: 'Alice'}];

  add() {
    var newPerson = new Person();
    newPerson.name = 'Bob';

    this.inputs.push(newPerson);
  }
}

My array of inputs is now a list of Person objects. The inputs are bound bidirectionally to the name property of a Person. The <input> is now wrapped inside a <div>, as I expect that later I will write more markup to display each Person.
After making these changes, the example works only at the first attempt of pressing Enter - a new input with text Bob appears as expected. But when I then try to press Enter for the second time, I get an error:
angular2.dev.js:23730 Error: Expression 'ngClassUntouched in App@2:6' has changed after it was checked. Previous value: 'true'. Current value: 'false'
    at ExpressionChangedAfterItHasBeenCheckedException.BaseException [as constructor] (angular2.dev.js:7587)
    at new ExpressionChangedAfterItHasBeenCheckedException (angular2.dev.js:4992)
    at ChangeDetector_App_1.AbstractChangeDetector.throwOnChangeError (angular2.dev.js:9989)
    at ChangeDetector_App_1.detectChangesInRecordsInternal (viewFactory_App:143)
    at ChangeDetector_App_1.AbstractChangeDetector.detectChangesInRecords (angular2.dev.js:9874)
    at ChangeDetector_App_1.AbstractChangeDetector.runDetectChanges (angular2.dev.js:9857)
    at ChangeDetector_App_0.AbstractChangeDetector._detectChangesContentChildren (angular2.dev.js:9930)
    at ChangeDetector_App_0.AbstractChangeDetector.runDetectChanges (angular2.dev.js:9858)
    at ChangeDetector_HostApp_0.AbstractChangeDetector._detectChangesInViewChildren (angular2.dev.js:9936)
    at ChangeDetector_HostApp_0.AbstractChangeDetector.runDetectChanges (angular2.dev.js:9861)

How can I fix that?
I am running the example in Chrome. I found it easiest to demostrate the problem using Eric Martinez's plunks that are based on beta 12 version of Angular2 but my real world application where I get the same error is currently using Angular 2.0.0.

A: Angular2 doesn't like when the model is changed during a change detection callback (like ngOnInit() is). Calling ChangeDetectorRef.detectChanges() should fix it:
class MyInput {
  constructor(public renderer: Renderer, public elementRef: ElementRef
      ,private cdRef:ChangeDetectorRef) {}

  // It won't work at construction time
  ngOnInit() {
    this.renderer.invokeElementMethod(
      this.elementRef.nativeElement, 'focus', []);
    this.cdRef.detectChanges();
  }
}

This error message is caused by saving the "script.sh" file in an operating system--DOS, OS/2, and Windows--that uses carriage-return (CR) and line-feed (LF) as end-of-line (EOL) character sequence. UNIX platform uses the LF character for EOL. The "^M" character in the error message is the give-away, as it symbolizes for the CR character.

2015 AALA Award Recipients
Moseman Honored with The AALA Distinguished Service Award
Maureen Kelly Moseman was honored with The AALA Distinguished Service Award, which is given annually to an AALA member for contributions to the organization and to agricultural law. The award recipient, chosen by the three most recent award winners, is selected based upon consistent demonstration of dedication to furthering the development of agricultural law, strengthening the legal profession, increasing the size and influence of AALA, and fulfilling the law-related information needs of lawyers and citizens alike.
In recognizing Moseman as the Distinguished Service Award winner, AALA President Jesse Richardson noted that her entire career has been one of service and dedication to agriculture and agricultural law. Moseman has taught hundreds of students as an adjunct professor at the University of Nebraska College of Law. She has been a distinguished visiting lecturer at the University of Nebraska Medical Center, University of Arkansas and University of St. Thomas. During four years of service in the United States Department of Agriculture, Moseman served as Special Assistant to the Under Secretary for Food Safety; Special Assistant to the Administrator of the Cooperative Research, Education and Extension Service; Legislative Director for the Under Secretary for Research, Education and Economics; and as Chief of Staff to the Under Secretary for Marketing and Regulatory Programs. She began her career in Washington, D.C. as legislative assistant and counsel to Congressman Earl Pomeroy of North Dakota.
While Moseman has been a committed volunteer to AALA, serving as President from 2008-2009, her greatest service was as interim executive director from May 2014 until March 2015. In that role, she led a transition to modernize the financial records and membership database of the association. Moseman successfully managed the annual meeting and legal education conference attended by over 250 members and which featured dozens of speakers. Moseman also designed and guided a human resources strategy for the association to recruit, hire and train a permanent executive director. She has continued to provide leadership to the board and the executive director on how to provide services of value to the AALA members.
Moseman is currently president and owner of Moseman & Associates, LLC, a full service government relations firm which provides expertise to nonprofits, universities and agribusinesses on federal legislative and regulatory issues.
Carrato, Feitshans and Schneider Received Excellence in Agricultural Law Awards
The purpose of the AALA's Excellence in Agricultural Law Award is to recognizeAALA members for outstanding contributions to the legal profession and the agricultural community. These awards may acknowledge members from professional sectors, including private practice, academia, government and non-governmental organizations (NGOs) . This year, AALA honored Tom Carrato for his contributions as a private practitioner, Ted Feitshans for his academic work, and Justin Schneider for his non-governmental organization dedication.
Tom Carrato is an attorney and the principal of Creative Biotech Solutions, LLC, an agricultural technologies consulting firm established in 2013. His previous employment included over twenty years with Monsanto. With over 25 years' experience working to achieve critical policy objectives on behalf of industry, Carroto has become a globally recognized expert in strategic regulatory policy issues related to seed trait technologies. Carroto has also received recognition in 2012 from the international biotechnology industry with CropLife International's first Lifetime Achievement Award for Excellence in Plant Biotechnology.
His nominator highlighted many accomplishments of Carroto, including his role in setting guidelines for stewarding the introduction of new ag biotech products and orchestrating the industry agreement on post-patent access to ag biotech transgenic events and regulatory data. His work as the primary author of the biotech seed industry's "Compact" received a standing ovation at a meeting in Cartagena, Colombia of over 180 nations. The Compact provides for redress through voluntary arbitration with governments in the event that a biotech crop is proven to cause harm to biological diversity.
Ted Feitshans is an Extension Specialist at North Carolina State University, a Past President of AALA, and was previously honored in 2014 with AALA's Distinguished Service Award. In announcing his Excellence in Agricultural Law award, the AALAnoted his research and education on legal issues involving farm business succession, agricultural biotechnology, waste management, and hydraulic fracturing for gas and oil. In the words of his nominator, Feitshans "is one of the most thoughtful persons I know, and he always engages me in thoughtful discussion on nuances in agricultural law and policy, both at the state and federal level."
Justin Schneider is Senior Policy Counsel and Advisor to Indiana Farm Bureau, Inc. and has held a number of AALA leadership positions including his current service as President-elect. In his work with Farm Bureau, he has developed and implemented organizational policy initiatives on environmental and natural resource issues, enhanced relationships with executive branch officials and legislators and brought together stakeholders to address legislative concerns with impact on farmers. His nominator noted his dedication to furthering our organization, his "can do" positive attitude and his resourcefulness at providing good information and connections on policy issues. A highlight of his nomination shared that Schneider "does an excellent job of trying to come up with practical solutions for problems and concerns of his farmer members in Farm Bureau, as well as AALA."
Each of these award winners continues to contribute to excellence in our profession.
Strobel and Lundquist Receive Student Scholarship Awards and Professor Drew Kershen Receives Professional Scholarship Award
Each year, our organization also presents AALA Scholarship Awards which are intended to recognize and encourage scholarly work. In selecting student and professional winners, the AALA Awards Committee considers criteria including the excellence in quality of writing, the relevance to important legal issues in agriculture, broadly defined, the clarity of analysis, the potential impact, and other attributes of scholarship.
In 2015, our Student Scholarship Award Winners were Jacob Strobel and Kyndra Lundquist and our Professional Scholarship Award recognized the article by Nina Federoff and Drew Kershen for the articles cited below.
Jacob Strobel, a 2015 graduate of Drake Law School, was honored by AALA for his articleAgriculture Precision Farming: Who Owns the Property of Information? Is it the Farmer, the Company who Helps Consult the Farmer on How to Use the Information Best, or the Mechanical Company who Built The Technology Itself?, 19 Drake J. Agric. L. 239 (2014).
The awards committee recognized the time and research that went into Strobel's timely and informative article discussing precision farming and the data that goes into those systems. The article analyzed the privacy rights of farmers who engage in precision agriculture by making a detailed review of the history and information related to ownership of data and the privacy issues that are more frequently becoming a topic of conversation. Strobel concluded the article with his suggested fix for the issues surrounding data use and privacy rights.
Strobel's goal is to use his family farming background and his focus on ag law to work in a rural practice.
Kyndra Lundquist, a 2015 graduate of the University of Iowa College of Law, was honored for her work titled Unapproved Genetically Modified Corn: It's What's For Dinner, 100 Iowa L.Rev. 825 (2015).
The awards committee recognized her well-researched and thoughtful analysis of the issue of escapes of GMO products that are in the testing phase. Her conclusion is that a change in regulation of field trials is warranted to place the costs of preventing escapes of traits on the growers of those traits rather than the farmers who are impacted when the appearance of unapproved traits impact agricultural markets across the globe.
Lundquist received her undergraduate degree from Iowa State University. She is currently serving as a law clerk to Justice Edward Mansfield on the Iowa Supreme Court.
The Professional Award recognized the work of Nina V. Fedoroff & Drew L. Kershen for their work titled Agricultural Biotechnology—An Opportunity to Feed a World of Ten Billion, 118 Penn. St. L. Rev. 859 (2015).
This article looks at how the expanding human population presents need to increase agricultural productivity quickly and to do so without unduly damaging the many other kinds of organisms that share our planet. As advances of genetic engineering and genetic modification hold the promise of making it possible for us to grow more food more sustainably, these advances have evoked an almost unprecedented level of societal controversy quite specifically in the realm of food production, resulting in the proliferation of regulatory and legal issues. To read this article in full, please use the link below.
Professor Drew Kershen is Professor Emeritus at the University of Oklahoma College of Law where he teaches courses on agricultural law, legal history, professional responsibility and water rights. In recent years, Professor Kershen has focused his teaching, research and lecturing on agricultural biotechnology law and policy. Dr. Nina Fedoroff serves as Senior Science Advisor at Olsson Frank Weeda Terman Matz, PC in Washington DC, advising on science and policy issues for agricultural plants animals and microorganisms. Dr. Fedoroff's primary scientific expertise is in plant genetics and molecular biology and she has served as Staff Scientist of the Carnegie Institution for Science and in academic posts at the Johns Hopkins University, Penn State University, and the King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST).


COLAB Government Affairs Director Michael Brown has a lot to say about the political left — at least, what he thinks the left is. After reading comments that he provides on behalf of the organization's mostly anonymous membership, one could presume that liberals are godless, elitist snobs with no wherewithal to understand good governance.
"It is instead an epochal struggle for the very survival of America and civilization," he writes. That's an actual quote. Referring to the left as the "alt-left," Brown believes they are "seek[ing] to undermine human progress of the last half of a millennium." How? By discussing global warming, which a majority of climate scientists agree is real and catastrophic; by embracing "radical" identity politics, a concept that's existed since the 1970s to describe political positions based on interests and perspectives of social groups with which people identify; by placing emphasis on "political correctness," formerly known as "respect"; by promising things people should have, like "free" healthcare, college and retirement. Why shouldn't Americans have access to these basic, invaluable services? Brown doesn't say.
COLAB, the organization Brown represents, is 501(c)(6) non-profit, which is tax-exempt. By his own definition, Brown was a "permanent" government bureaucrat who was able to keep his job as Executive Director for the County of Santa Barbara after a lengthy and legal history of workplace harassment. According to Santa Barbara County, Brown's involvement in their public employee union allowed him to opt for a "golden handshake" pension plan, which awarded two years of service credit after he retired. Brown's column is featured on an unabashedly ideological website that his organization is financially backing with advertising. Somehow, America and civilization remains unscathed.
Then, he takes aim at left-leaning organizations, such as 350.org, Indivisible, SLO Sense and SLO Progressives for allegedly "recruiting swarms of followers to show up and disrupt conservative officials' district town halls, office hours, and other events." The problem is that none of the organizations he mentioned specifically encourage people to "disrupt" events featuring conservative officials.
Brown should know a thing or two about disrupting events with conservative officials, given he was escorted out of a Board of Supervisors meeting in January for yelling, "Point of order!" Prior to that instance, Brown has interrupted several county meetings by invoking "point of order" because supervisors disagreed with his public comment.
One person's "intimidation" is everyone else's free speech.
You would be hard-pressed to find any urgent bulletins from progressives, alerting members that "far right partisan hack" Michael Brown will "intimidate" the board. Why is that? In SLO County, opposition to the current configuration of the Board of Supervisors is narrowly tailored to opposition of conservative policies, not personalities — and that should be commended. But Brown does the opposite. To Brown, it's not about liberal policies or ideas. It's about putting an end to liberals that crave the destruction of civilization. Who would embrace that school of thought?
On March 30, COLAB and Brown will be hosting their 8th Annual Dinner and Fundraiser with featured speakers District 1 Supervisor John Peschong, District 4 Supervisor Lynn Compton and District 5 Supervisor Debbie Arnold.
According to Californians Aware, a non-profit that educates the public on public forum law, any event featuring a quorum of board members could pose significant Brown Act issues. Three of the five supervisors serving the BOS constitute a quorum. This is problematic, since two of the three supervisors have disclosed — albeit reluctantly — that they've had ex-parte communications with Brown on a number of occasions. According to event organizers, the event will not be taped and the press is not allowed to enter. Nothing to see here.
For a seasoned bureaucrat that he is, Michael Brown has a peculiarly dark and incomprensive view of democracy. Now imagine this view encompassing public policy. Worried yet, actvists [sic]?
I've been quiet for the past two weeks, watching the contentiousness surrounding the proposed Chumash Heritage Marine Sanctuary. Many people intricately familiar with the local politics weighed in on the board's sudden push to oppose the sanctuary, despite the fact that their stated opposition does nothing to hinder the sanctuary designation process. To be precise, board opposition was more of a symbolic gesture, which is why proponents of the sanctuary thought the move was ideological at best.
The latest round started when the conservative majority of the SLO County Board of Supervisors voted to draft a resolution that opposed the sanctuary. That happened on Jan. 24. The public and the media reacted unfavorably to the sudden push to formalize board opposition, but that didn't deter the supervisors from moving forward with gusto. By the time the board discussed approving the resolution on Feb. 9, the public was ready. For approximately four hours, residents supporting and opposing the sanctuary spoke. Supporters outnumbered opponents 2 to 1. The fisherman came out to oppose the sanctuary with backing from the local Republican Party and the Coalition of Labor, Agriculture & Business.
Nonetheless, the board decided to move forward with their opposition, but with two interesting amendments. One of the amendments was to express support for Measure A, a 30-year-old ordinance requiring a simple-majority voter approval of county permits issued for onshore projects serving offshore oil and gas developments. The second amendment, which was introduced by Lynn Compton, was a statement supporting Congressman Salud Carbajal's (D-Santa Barbara) proposed legislation, which would ban offshore drilling in Ventura, Santa Barbara and San Luis Obispo counties. These amendments are not binding, and the supervisors know it. The Carbajal bill is unlikely to pass through the Republican-controlled Congress.
So why go through all the trouble just to make a meaningless statement?
To answer that question, we need to consider the following.
The New Times reported that Lynn Compton has taken campaign contributions from big oil interests, despite angrily insisting that she hasn't "taken a penny from oil in my campaign." She even challenged the public to review her campaign finances, which they did. Compton received $4,600 from contributors with ties to the oil and gas industries.
But Compton has even closer ties to big oil. Her campaign manager, Amber Johnson, is a lobbyist that previously worked for the Home Builders Association. After serving as campaign manager, Johnson helped spearhead a campaign against Measure P in Santa Barbara County. Measure P was an anti-fracking initiative that was understandably opposed by the oil and gas industries. The measure was voted down in Nov. 2014. Johnson is currently behind an organization called "Our Protected Coast Coalition," which is opposed to federal designation of the Chumash Heritage National Marine Sanctuary.
Debbie Arnold also has ties to oil and gas interests. Arnold also received campaign contributions from Bruce Falkenhagen for $250 during her 2016 re-election bid; $1,000 from the co-owners of Central Coast Propane; $1,500 from Frank Platz of Delta Liquid Energy, a propane distributor; $100 from Pacific Coast Strategies, Amber Johnson's consulting firm. Arnold also paid Amber Johnson $1,000 for campaign consulting and received $100 from her. To be fair, Arnold has also received contributions from non-big oil interests opposing the sanctuary, including the Morro Bay Commercial Fisherman's Organization and the Santa Ynez Band of Mission Indians. In case anyone is wondering if Arnold would vote independently, consider the fact that Arnold paid over $15,000 in consulting costs to Meridian Pacific, John Peschong's political consulting firm. Arnold appreciates his advice.
Before he was elected supervisor, John Peschong received $262,313 from Phillips 66, the oil company behind the oil-by-rail plan, which is being to be appealed to the Board of Supervisors. Phillips 66 retained Peschong's services to craft a communications campaign called "Protect Our Jobs." Peschong has offered to recuse himself from voting on that appeal item.
There's a lot to glean from Peschong's campaign contributions. Many of his contributors are from out of the area and out of the state — many of whom are public relations, public affairs and political consulting firms with confidential clientele information. For example, Peschong received $2,500 from Washington D.C.-based FP1 Strategies LLC, a Republican political consulting firm co-founded by former officials of the Bush-Cheney '04 campaign. Peschong also received $850 from Richard Claussen, who is a consultant for Redwood Pacific Public Affairs, a Sacramento-based firm that's behind several Republican communications campaigns and clients.
In a way, receiving a contribution from a political consultant firm is similar to receiving a donation from a Political Action Committee: the public doesn't know what companies are benefiting from that individual contribution. Peschong is someone who's been in the political consulting game for years, so he knows how to make his benefactors happy while staying legally afloat. But it's unmistakable that he's beholden to a lot of people and companies, including Phillips 66. After all, he is a lobbyist that ran for public office and won.
We can talk about the merits of having a national marine sanctuary, but it would be disingenuous to discount the special interests involved in the debate, especially when said special interests have contributed to the conservative board majority; especially when it's big oil interests.


Short and sweet this week, apologies in advance for the rant.
It's that time of year again. High school graduation is looming and many of those who will soon be receiving a diploma will be relishing their last few days of high school by partying (only after exams are over though, I hope!). Enjoy, but proceed with caution.
As a child, I didn't quite understand all the excitement that came with graduation. It seemed as if it would be more natural to breathe a sigh of relief once diploma in hand, relax a bit, and then plunge into new projects. I would shake my head in disgust at the high school seniors who would whiz around the elementary school during lunch recess, taunting the younger students who still had years left in school before they could don a grad gown, complete with tasseled hat. Now that I'm older, I understand where the excitement surrounding graduation is coming from. Months of hard work at school and after school, built up fatigue and at some point you come to the realization that you're about to take a big step toward independence– these factors create plenty of exhilaration when it comes time to graduate.
That said, while celebrating with friends and family, snapping photos, and saying good bye to life in high school are appropriate ways to commemorate the occasion, partying hard in all of its various forms is reckless and irresponsible. Yes, I realize that this point of view will likely fall on deaf ears for some, with people arguing that everyone does it, that it won't do any damage, and that you only live once, etc. To that I reply: doing something because you've been told to do it by everyone else can make you qualify as a mindless robot drone, anything for which reassurance that no harm will be done is necessary ultimately doesn't do much good and therefore cannot really not do any harm since you're losing the benefits of doing something better, and you only live once, why would you risk blowing it (and I'm not even referencing the potential serious consequences here; the minutely serious social consequences are bad enough)? Of course, this argument could be dragged on and on, but let's stop here.
The bottom line is that the way you celebrate major and minor life events says something important about your attitude toward life in general and that should be considered. It comes down to a question of beliefs: your values will show through your choices. Just because there weren't any consequences for something doesn't mean that it was an acceptable choice as values should be considered to; that distinction needs to be seen.

During 2019, 22% of the uranium delivered was purchased under spot contracts at a weighted-average price of $27.89 per pound..
Plutonium is a radioactive metallic element with the atomic number 94. It was discovered in 1940 by scientists studying how to split atoms to make atomic bombs. Plutonium is created in a reactor when uranium atoms absorb neutrons. Nearly all plutonium is man-made.
During 2017, owners and operators of U.S. nuclear power plants purchased 40 million pounds of uranium from foreign suppliers. Canada, Australia, Russia, Kazakhstan, and Uzbekistan represented the top five countries of origin and together accounted for 84% of total U.S. uranium purchases in 2017.

According to the NEA, identified uranium resources total 5.5 million metric tons, and an additional 10.5 million metric tons remain undiscovered—a roughly 230-year supply at today's consumption rate in total.
From a chemical point of view, uranium is a heavy metal and about as toxic as lead. Touching it won't really do anything to you. Ingesting or inhaling it would be bad, but as long as you don't have any cuts on your hands and wash them when you're done you're unlikely to have any problems.
Uranium abundance: At the current rate of uranium consumption with conventional reactors, the world supply of viable uranium, which is the most common nuclear fuel, will last for 80 years. … Theoretically, that amount would last for 5,700 years using conventional reactors to supply 15 TW of power.
Yet, the truth is, you can buy uranium ore from places like Amazon or Ebay, and you won't have to produce any special authorization to get it. … The isotope that is used in bombs and reactors is Uranium-235, which is only about 0.72% of the natural uranium ore.
Instead, typically (in a modern weapon) the core of a weapon contains only about 5 kilograms of plutonium, of which only 2 to 2.5 kilograms, representing 40 to 50 kilotons of energy, undergoes fission before the core blows itself apart.
The United States is the largest producer of nuclear power, while France has the largest share of electricity generated by nuclear power.
KazakhstanKazakhstan produces the largest share of uranium from mines (43% of world supply from mines in 2019), followed by Canada (13%) and Australia (12%).

Plutonium-239, the isotope found in the spent MOX fuel, is much more radioactive than the depleted Uranium-238 in the fuel. … Plutonium emits alpha radiation, a highly ionizing form of radiation, rather than beta or gamma radiation.
Radioactive plutonium and uranium As unstable radioactive isotopes, or versions of an element with different molecular weights, decay into slightly more stable versions, they release energy. This extra energy can either directly kill cells or damage a cell's DNA, fueling mutations that may eventually lead to cancer.
As the need for clean energy grows and uranium oversupply diminishes, demand for the energy fuel is likely to grow. Investing while the spot price continues to show improvement could offer an opportunity.
Kashiwazaki-Kariwa 8,212Kashiwazaki-Kariwa 8,212 MWh(Niigata prefecture, Japan) Situated in the towns of Kashiwazaki and Kariwa, the world's largest nuclear power plant by capacity has seven nuclear reactors.
Historically, uranium has been mined in countries willing to export, including Australia and Canada. However, countries now responsible for more than 50% of the world's uranium production include Kazakhstan, Namibia, Niger, and Uzbekistan.
The USAThe USA is the world's largest producer of nuclear power, accounting for more than 30% of worldwide nuclear generation of electricity. The country's nuclear reactors produced 809 billion kWh in 2019, about 20% of total electrical output.
Martin Heinrich KlaprothUranium/DiscoverersUranium was discovered in 1789 by Martin Klaproth, a German chemist, in the mineral called pitchblende. It was named after the planet Uranus, which had been discovered eight years earlier. Uranium was apparently formed in supernovae about 6.6 billion years ago.

URAM-2018 Wraps Up: The Future of Uranium as a Sustainable Source of Energy. According to the International Energy Agency, global energy consumption could see an increase of up to 18% by 2030 and 39% by 2050. … "Uranium-based fuel is expected to remain a basic, reliable source for low-carbon nuclear power.
There is no health hazard from touching plutonium. Just wash your hands afterward so that any traces of it don't accidentally get inside you. It presents zero risk outside of the body. Plutonium is only a hazard if it gets inside you in large quantities: inhaled, ingested, or absorbed.
GermanyUranium was formally discovered in 1789, in Berlin, Germany by Martin Heinrich Klaproth. Klaproth was studying the mineral pitchblende, which was then believed to be a zinc/iron ore.
AustraliaAustralia, the world's biggest uranium reserve holder, was estimated to possess 1.66 million tonnes (Mt) of known recoverable uranium resources as of 2011, accounting for about 31% of the world total.
Energy Fuels Resources Corporation (EFRC, a Colorado-based subsidiary of Energy Fuels Inc of Toronto) is the largest US uranium mining company (after Cameco). In April 2012 EFRC agreed to take over all Denison Mines' US assets and operations, including the White Mesa mill, in a C$106 million merger.

Title Indirect blue light does not suppress nocturnal salivary melatonin in humans in an automobile setting Type Journal Article
Year 2009 Publication Journal of Pineal Research Abbreviated Journal J Pineal Res
Volume 47 Issue 2 Pages 143-146
Keywords Human Health; Adolescent; Adult; *Automobiles; Circadian Rhythm/physiology; Humans; *Lighting; Male; Melatonin/metabolism/*secretion; Salivary Glands/*secretion; Statistics, Nonparametric
Abstract In 2007, the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) classified shift work that involves circadian disruption as being probably carcinogenic to humans (Group 2A). In this context, light exposure during the night plays a key role because it can suppress nocturnal melatonin levels when exposures exceed a certain threshold. Blue light around 464 nm is most effective in suppressing melatonin because of the spectral sensitivity of melanopsin, a recently discovered photopigment in retinal ganglion cells; the axons of these cells project to the suprachiasmatic nucleus, a circadian master clock in the brain. Due to advances in light technologies, normal tungsten light bulbs are being replaced by light-emitting diodes which produce quasi-monochromatic or white light. The objective of this study was to assess whether the light-melanopsin-melatonin axis might be affected in automobiles at night which employ the new generation diodes. To this end, we have tested in an experimental automobile setting whether indirect blue light (lambda(max) = 465 nm) at an intensity of 0.22 or 1.25 lx can suppress salivary melatonin levels in 12 male volunteers (age range 17-27 years) who served as their own controls. Daytime levels were low (2.7 +/- 0.5 pg/mL), and night-time levels without light exposure were high (14.5 +/- 1.1 pg/mL), as expected. Low-intensity light exposures had no significant effect on melatonin levels (0.22 lx: 17.2 +/- 2.8 pg/mL; P > 0.05; 1.25 lx: 12.6 +/- 2.0 pg/mL; P > 0.05). It is concluded that indirect blue light exposures in automobiles up to 1.25 lx do not cause unintentional chronodisruption via melatonin suppression.

Title Meeting report: the role of environmental lighting and circadian disruption in cancer and other diseases Type Journal Article
Year 2007 Publication Environmental Health Perspectives Abbreviated Journal Environ Health Perspect
Volume 115 Issue 9 Pages 1357-1362
Keywords Human Health; Animals; *Circadian Rhythm; Environmental Exposure; Humans; *Lighting/adverse effects; *Neoplasms/etiology; Research; breast cancer; circadian rhythms; clock genes; lighting; melatonin; phototransduction; pineal gland
Abstract Light, including artificial light, has a range of effects on human physiology and behavior and can therefore alter human physiology when inappropriately timed. One example of potential light-induced disruption is the effect of light on circadian organization, including the production of several hormone rhythms. Changes in light-dark exposure (e.g., by nonday occupation or transmeridian travel) shift the timing of the circadian system such that internal rhythms can become desynchronized from both the external environment and internally with each other, impairing our ability to sleep and wake at the appropriate times and compromising physiologic and metabolic processes. Light can also have direct acute effects on neuroendocrine systems, for example, in suppressing melatonin synthesis or elevating cortisol production that may have untoward long-term consequences. For these reasons, the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences convened a workshop of a diverse group of scientists to consider how best to conduct research on possible connections between lighting and health. According to the participants in the workshop, there are three broad areas of research effort that need to be addressed. First are the basic biophysical and molecular genetic mechanisms for phototransduction for circadian, neuroendocrine, and neurobehavioral regulation. Second are the possible physiologic consequences of disrupting these circadian regulatory processes such as on hormone production, particularly melatonin, and normal and neoplastic tissue growth dynamics. Third are effects of light-induced physiologic disruption on disease occurrence and prognosis, and how prevention and treatment could be improved by application of this knowledge.

Title Light pollution and solid-state lighting: reducing the carbon dioxide footprint is not enough Type Journal Article
Year 2014 Publication Proc. SPIE 8785, 8th Iberoamerican Optics Meeting and 11th Latin American Meeting on Optics, Lasers, and Applications, 87852G, 2013 Abbreviated Journal Proc. SPIE 8785
Volume 8785 Issue Pages
Keywords *Lighting; LED; light emitting diode; outdoor lighting; artificial light at night; lighting policy; solid-state lighting; blue light
Abstract Public and private lighting account for a relevant share of the overall electric power consumption worldwide. The pressing need of reducing the carbon dioxide emissions as well as of lowering the lumen•hour price tag has fostered the search for alternative lighting technologies to substitute for the incandescent and gas-discharge based lamps. The most successful approach to date, solid-state lighting, is already finding its way into the public lighting market, very often helped by substantial public investments and support. LED-based sources have distinct advantages: under controlled conditions their efficacy equals or surpasses that of conventional solutions, their small source size allows for an efficient collimation of the lightbeam (delivering the photons where they are actually needed and reducing lightspill on the surrounding areas), and they can be switched and/or dimmed on demand at very high rates, thus allowing for a tailored schedule of lighting. However, energy savings and carbon dioxide reduction are not the only crucial issues faced by present day lighting. A growing body of research has shown the significance of the spectral composition of light when it comes to assess the detrimental effects of artificial light-at-night (ALAN). The potential ALAN blueshift associated to the deployment of LED-based lighting systems has raised sensible concerns about its scientific, cultural, ecological and public health consequences, which can be further amplified if an increased light consumption is produced due to the rebound effect. This contribution addresses some of the challenges that these issues pose to the Optics and Photonics community.

Title Potential applicability of persuasive communication to light-glow reduction efforts: a case study of marine turtle conservation Type Journal Article
Year 2014 Publication Environmental Management Abbreviated Journal Environ Manage
Keywords Society; Adolescent; Adult; Aged; Aged, 80 and over; Animals; *Conservation of Natural Resources; Culture; Female; Humans; *Lighting; Male; Middle Aged; Persuasive Communication; Public Opinion; Queensland; Questionnaires; *Turtles; Young Adult
Abstract Artificial lighting along coastlines poses a significant threat to marine turtles due to the importance of light for their natural orientation at the nesting beach. Effective lighting management requires widespread support and participation, yet engaging the public with light reduction initiatives is difficult because benefits associated with artificial lighting are deeply entrenched within modern society. We present a case study from Queensland, Australia, where an active light-glow reduction campaign has been in place since 2008 to protect nesting turtles. Semi-structured questionnaires explored community beliefs about reducing light and evaluated the potential for using persuasive communication techniques based on the theory of planned behavior (TPB) to increase engagement with light reduction. Respondents (n = 352) had moderate to strong intentions to reduce light. TPB variables explained a significant proportion of variance in intention (multiple regression: R (2) = 0.54-0.69, P < 0.001), but adding a personal norm variable improved the model (R (2) = 0.73-0.79, P < 0.001). Significant differences in belief strength between campaign compliers and non-compliers suggest that targeting the beliefs reducing light leads to "increased protection of local turtles" (P < 0.01) and/or "benefits to the local economy" (P < 0.05), in combination with an appeal to personal norms, would produce the strongest persuasion potential for future communications. Selective legislation and commitment strategies may be further useful strategies to increase community light reduction. As artificial light continues to gain attention as a pollutant, our methods and findings will be of interest to anyone needing to manage public artificial lighting.

This study uses letters-to-self and a group interview to integrate the experiences of two groups of participant-researchers—(1) a professor of qualitative inquiry and two of his doctoral students in an online qualitative research class and (2) this same professor and his family. The specific purpose of this study for the first group, comprised of the professor and his two former doctoral students, was to jointly explore perceptions of teaching and learning qualitative inquiry in a formal university setting as well as these students' perceptions of the impacts that their entry into full-time doctoral study has had on their family life. The specific purpose for the second group, comprised of the professor and his family, was to jointly explore perceptions of teaching and learning qualitative inquiry in a family setting. It was found that a richer understanding of the dynamics of teaching and learning qualitative inquiry amidst the dynamics of family life emerged from this study and will hopefully lead to further explorations of this complex phenomena among professors, students, and families.

Storytelling event takes place at Hallwalls in Buffalo, NY on Jan. 8 from 3-5 PM.
VeteransRespond, a new national service organization formed by veterans who participated in the massive deployment at Standing Rock, North Dakota in early December—is excited to announce their special presentation, Warrior's Call: The Fight to Stop the Dakota Access Pipeline, a one-day-only storytelling event featuring United States military veterans who stood at Standing Rock, joined by special guest Lakota Akicita warrior and leader, Michael Mato Tanka. Come experience the story of these veterans' personal journeys to direct action in support of the Oceti Sakowin natives' stand against the Dakota Access Pipeline (DAPL) in Standing Rock just a little over one month ago.
Warrior's Call: The Fight to Stop the Dakota Access Pipeline is the story of that journey. With unflinching candor and inspiring insight, Matthew Crane (US Navy), Joseph George (US Air Force), Brandee Paisano (US Navy and Pueblo-Laguna native), Mark Sanderson (US Army and Purple Heart recipient), and Neil Conway (US Navy) refract the eternal narrative of the returning warrior who battles to reconcile their actions and their hearts, driven by a deep desire to stand on the right side of history.
With a special appearance by Michael Mato Tanka (Oglala Lakota, descendant of Chief Red Cloud, Akicita Warrior, and US Marine), Warrior's Call reveals what brought the veterans to Standing Rock, what they brought away from Standing Rock, and what we can all bring to the fight for our rights and our future. Moderated by actor/producer Trazz Johnson, this special event is a chance to hear firsthand what our new domestic battlefields look like, and how we can all heed the warrior's call to action.
VeteransRespond is a new service organization founded in December 2016 by disabled veterans who were part of the advanced team at Standing Rock. They work to organize and coordinate highly trained veteran volunteers to provide relief and service work in environmental and man-made disaster sites all across the United States.
VeteransRespond was born out of the Standing Rock movement, which saw more than 4,000 veterans mobilize to Camp Oceti Sakowin and vicinity in defense of the Water Protectors and their allies standing against the DAPL. The overwhelming numbers and presence of these veterans—500 had originally been expected—helped to pressure the federal government into responding and finally denying the easement needed to drill under Lake Oahe. DAPL, a 1,172-mile pipeline to transport crude oil across the Midwest, jeopardizes the drinking water of millions of Americans, while simultaneously desecrating the sacred ground of the Lakota/Sioux nation. As sworn defenders of our country, these veterans felt called to use their training and skills to protect civilians against the domestic violence they witnessed, as manifested in the brutal tactics being deployed against them by state and local police authorities and oil company security. For some, that call to action became a journey to healing and community activism.
Right now, highly trained VeteransRespond volunteers are on the ground at work with the Lakota Tribes in Standing Rock, ND and the Carrizo/Comecrudo Tribes at Camp Toyahvale, Texas. Our team of veterans are providing specialized skills ranging from camp security; EMS and mass casualty trained medical volunteers; communications specialists; IT support and data analysts; and search and rescue patrols. In an organizational structure that veterans are familiar with from their military training and service, we provide skilled volunteers to areas in need where the Veterans can best assist the mission.
In Standing Rock, "They established a command team and an operational TOC [Tactical Operations Center], and are assisting with safety and security operations in the camp. I'm honored to have met these incredible veterans, who inspire as they continue their mission of service" (Tulsi Gabbard, Congresswoman, Hawaii 2nd District, and Iraqi War veteran).
Warrior's Call: The Fight to Stop the Dakota Access Pipeline is free and open to the public. (Donations in support of the ongoing work of VeteransRespond will be gratefully accepted.) General Admission seating; doors open at 3:00pm, with the Call starting at 3:30pm.
Special thanks to Righteous Babe Records and Babeville Buffalo for the use of Asbury Hall for this event.

This is a list of flags used in Malaysia.

National flags

Monarch

Military

Law Enforcement Flags

Administrative divisions

States

Federal territories

A common flag for the three federal territories was adopted by the Ministry of the Federal Territories on 20 August 2006. The flag is to be used and flown on matters and ceremonies that involve all the federal territories as a whole. An example is in national sporting events; the unified contingent of the territories would be under this common flag. However, the usage of the individual territorial flags would be given preference in events relating to individual territories.

City, district, provincial and municipal

For flags of districts, towns, and cities in Malaysia, look for the article for each state's flag where said location is in. Below is a gallery of the flags of several Malaysian state capitals.

Order of precedence
Per government protocol, if a display contains the Jalur Gemilang and all the state flags of Malaysia:

 The Jalur Gemilang shall take precedence before the state flags;
 The state flags shall be ordered by the date the state's incumbent ruler takes the throne;
 The Federal Territory flag comes last

Political flags

Many family offices do not deliver adequate lifestyle and governance support, despite these areas becoming increasingly important to the families they serve, an industry professional says.
Catherine Grum, head of a new private office division at merchant bank and operational risk business Salamanca Group, says instead many family offices are focussed almost exclusively on investment management.
Grum says addressing the holistic needs of wealthy families living in an increasingly complex environment was one of the biggest challenges facing the family office sector.
Regulatory developments, cross border tax and legislative changes were driving this complexity, according to Grum.
Salamanca's new division provides services to assist with corporate and family governance, risk management and asset protection, as well as lifestyle services such as education advisory, property management and marine and security services. It operates predominantly out of London, Jersey, Geneva and Mauritius.
A recent global office study from Campden Wealth and UBS found that investment strategy had the most demonstrable impact on operating costs.
Family offices with a growth strategy spend more overall on operating costs, than family offices that are more focused on wealth preservation, The Global Family Office Report 2014 said (see graph).
Families that were more focused on wealth preservation were more likely to allocate more of their budgets to non-investment related services.

This Thanksgiving, extra gratitude for the food-supply chain
Nov. 24, 2020 at 4:48 am Updated Nov. 25, 2020 at 10:06 am
Peter R. Orszag
Brook Cunningham
Special to Bloomberg
As Thanksgiving approaches with the pandemic still raging, we can be grateful that at least one of our basic support systems has operated better than expected: the food supply. When COVID-19 first hit the U.S., fears spread that the meat supply in particular would be severely disrupted. Because of the hard work of farmers and food suppliers, however, plenty of protein is available for everyone's Thanksgiving dinner. The pandemic has nonetheless left its imprint on how and what we eat.
Fears of shortages have reflected a broad misunderstanding of the food-supply chain. Agribusiness and nutrition form a global industry, built on billions of dollars' worth of complex infrastructure. Yet the process by which food is produced and moved around the world has been little understood by most consumers. This year, as a result of COVID-19, Americans — many for the first time — will question where their turkey, mashed potatoes and pumpkin pie were produced and how they reached their table.
The pandemic has also accelerated a shift in the type of food that consumers demand. Months of lockdown and quarantine have brought greater focus on personal health and wellness. Restaurants closed, grocery orders exploded, and many households reentered the bygone era when families shared daily home-cooked meals around the dining room table. Sales of plant-based protein, nutritional supplements focused on gut health and immunity, and other better-for-you products skyrocketed.
Even after the pandemic ends, these consumers, led by the millennial generation, can be expected to continue to seek more foods with clean and authentic ingredients, from supply chains that align with their values. They are demanding food from local sources, traceable to the farms of origin, and produced in ways that sustain nature, support the farmer and treat animals humanely. Importantly, growing numbers of consumers are demonstrating that they are willing to pay a premium for these products.
Taking note of these trends, investors have homed in on environmental, social and governance challenges and opportunities across the food value chain. COVID-19 has led consumers and investors to push for faster progress on ESG, and companies with better-for-you and ESG-centric stories have seen their value rise.
This is not a wholly new phenomenon. From 2015 to 2019, $72 billion was invested in agri-food technology companies, plus a projected $10.5 billion in the first half of 2020, according to AgFunder — money aimed toward transforming the global food system. Agri-food technology investors are hoping that the pandemic spotlight on the food system, along with enhanced public market focus on ESG issues, will pave the way for even greater access to capital.
This investment will help speed new food industry technologies to farms and consumers. Advanced biological science and CRISPR gene-editing tools enable us to design plants with maximum protein and oil content, better defenses against pests, and a greater ability to capture nutrients from the air, sun and soil. Sensors, robotics, precision irrigation systems, farm-centric software and data analytics tools — all increasingly powered by machine learning — are enabling food production and distribution systems that minimize waste and maximize farmers' earnings. Clean, natural and more nutrient-dense foods are increasingly being produced in efficient and sustainable ways.
This progress is more important than ever in the face of climate change, a steady loss of arable land, and a global population that's expected to grow by more than 2 billion people by 2050. According to a 2011 report from the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization, nearly one-third of food (approximately 1.3 billion metric tons) goes to waste between farm and table each year — enough to feed as many as 2 billion people. The technological advances in food production and distribution accelerated by the pandemic can help us address these problems.
This year will be an unusual Thanksgiving, with dinners shared virtually by family members across the country. By Thanksgiving 2021, vaccines should be widely available, so families can once again come together. In the meantime, we should take a moment during our Zoom dinners to appreciate the crisis that didn't happen in the food supply chain, and the opportunities ahead to make that chain even more robust.

Love the layover: at play in Portland, Oregon
February 15, 2013 Harriet BaskasHotels, Museums, RestaurantsHeathman Hotel, Hotel deLuxe, IKEA, peculiarium, Portland, Portlandia, Voodoo Doughnuts
It's always a bit strange for me to spend time in Portland, Oregon.
It's the first city I lived in when I moved out west and it's the city now portrayed in a fun and fractured way in the IFC show Portlandia and in Portlandia: A Guide for Visitors, a book that claims to describe "all that this magical, dreamy city has to offer."
This visit I was a guest of Travel Portland – and most definitely a tourist.
I stayed one night in the Hotel deLuxe, which offers a Pilgrimage to Portlandia package, and two nights at the Heathman Hotel, which won my heart by sending someone to my room within five minutes of my arrival with a copy of my Oregon Curiosities book for me to sign so it could be added to the on-site library filled with books by authors – many of them really, really famous – who have stayed at the hotel.
Most of the weekend was spent racing around the city – on foot and on public transportation – visiting hot spots such as Powell's Books, the Peculiarium and the Lan Su Chinese Garden, and trying to find all the venues offering the free treats that come with the Portland Passport visitors receive when they book a room through the Travel Portland site before March 31st.
The somewhat Porlandia-ish list of treats includes a doughnut from Voodoo Doughnut (where the far-out offerings include a doughnut covered in Fruit Loops and one covered in bubble gum dust and decorated with a wrapped piece of gum), a tour of Widmer Brothers Brewing (free anyway, but passport holders get a free full-sized souvenir glass), a scoop of ice cream at Salt & Straw (sorbet at 10:30 in the morning? Why not?) and five other items, some of which were inspired by the 'what-to-do-in-Portland-in-the-winter' tips gathered from Portland insiders.
The most puzzling place on the passport is the 10-piece meatball plate: a reward for visitors who make the trek out to IKEA.
"Pacific Northwesterners love IKEA, especially when it's tax-free," is the way Courtney Ries, consumer marketing manager for Travel Portland explained it. "And since we can't give everyone a bookshelf or a new kitchen, we thought it would be something fun for the people that make IKEA a must-visit place when they come to town – or for those that have a special hankering for meatballs."
Fair enough. But IKEA is just one stop on the MAX light rail line before my favorite place in the city – Portland International Airport – and there are plenty of fun and unique shops and restaurants there – along with art and entertainment. And, while I arrived in town on the train, it might be fun for visitors coming to town by plane to get their last passport stamp – and tasty treat – as they head home.
Airlines – and IKEA – join in on April Fools' Day

2019-nCoV RT-PCR Multiplex Kit
Available in stock at Gentaur - Genprice
As almost everyone has heard already there is a new coronavirus named 2019-nCoV which originated in the city of Wuhan in China. This new virus already infected over 5000 people and caused over 100 deaths. While indeed the strain is highly virulent and spreads more than twice faster than flue, the mortality rate is far from high. Whether the virus was transmitted to humans by bats, snakes, or bat-eating snakes is still a matter of discussion.
What is known is that the genetic evidence shows that the 2019-nCoV shares about 80% similarity to the SARS-CoV (Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome-related Coronavirus), which caused an outbreak in Asia between November 2002 and July 2003. The interesting part is that the 2019-nCoV shares similarities with several other coronaviruses that are known to infect bats. This has led to speculations (and not without merit to them) that the new 2019-nCoV could be the result of recombination between human and bat coronaviruses. This could have happened when bat coronaviruses were introduced into the organism of people who were already infected with a human coronavirus (most likely SARS-CoV). When the two different viruses infect the same cells and start to multiply in them, often an exchange of genetic material (recombination) can occur between them, leading to new viral strains. The exact manner of how the new virus came to be will surely be tracked down very soon. In the meantime, Gentaur took up the task and brought to the stage the most secure and highly sensitive method to detect the new strain – a Real Time Multiplex Reverse Transcriptase Polymerase Chain Reaction (Real Multiplex RT-PCR) kit for 2019-nCoV.

Rated at an EPA-estimated 26 miles of All-Electric Range1, Niro PHEV can help some drivers consume less gasoline in most driving conditions5 and in all-electric mode it produces zero emissions. And with the total driving range rated at up to an estimated 560 miles6, it offers fantastic versatility. With Niro Plug-in Hybrid you can have it all—pure EV daily driving and the ability to take long road trips.
Increased high-voltage battery capacity (+7.34 kWh more than Niro hybrid) and output/power have helped make the Niro Plug-in Hybrid an efficient, low emissions crossover with a 105 MPGe rating. The Niro PHEV's compact, high voltage battery is neatly tucked under the cargo floor and under the rear seat and maintains the same spacious cargo capacity as the Niro hybrid. A single charging port is located in the driver's side front fender. A full charge can be achieved in approximately 2.5 hours via a 240V (Level 2) charger7, and under 9 hours via a 120V (Level 1) charger.
In addition, the Niro PHEV is offered with a suite of advanced driver assistance and convenience technologies8, including Blind Spot Detection (BSD) with Rear Cross Traffic Alert (RCTA), Lane Change Assist (LCA), and front and rear parking sensors; while Smart Cruise Control (SCC); Autonomous Emergency Braking (AEB); Forward Collision Warning (FCW) and Lane Keep Assist System (LKAS) are all standard.
The Niro Plug-in Hybrid also includes UVO eco9 which extends Kia's award-winning connectivity service by offering convenience and safety features tailored to eco-minded drivers. With UVO eco, drivers can remotely10monitor and charge their vehicle's high-voltage battery; setup charging schedules to take advantage of off-peak utility rates; preset the vehicle's cabin temperature, turn on window defrosters, and heat the steering wheel, lock or unlock doors, and find their vehicle from their smartphone or web enabled device.


Disney's most recent trend suggests a bullish bias. One trading opportunity on Disney is a Bull Put Spread using a strike $65.00 short put and a strike $60.00 long put offers a potential 8.93% return on risk over the next 24 calendar days. Maximum profit would be generated if the Bull Put Spread were to expire worthless, which would occur if the stock were above $65.00 by expiration. The full premium credit of $0.41 would be kept by the premium seller. The risk of $4.59 would be incurred if the stock dropped below the $60.00 long put strike price.
The RSI indicator is at 70.02 level which suggests that the stock is neither overbought nor oversold at this time.
The Wall Street Journal – Walt Disney Co. said its managing director in India, Ronnie Screwvala, has decided to step down and that he will be replaced by Siddharth Roy Kapur, who heads the unit's studio business.

I picked up this oak chair ages ago with the intentions of redoing it quickly. I recovered the seat with muslin, gave the wood a quick sanding and then stopped. For a long time. Finally the other day, I pulled it out and gave it the attention it deserved! It was in great shape – solid and clean – just boring, and that seat had to GO!
I had picked up a package of Tavern Green Milk Paint (by The Old Fashioned Milk Paint Company), mixed it up and painted it on. I was hoping for a bit more chipping but I it stuck pretty good due to my sanding. I love how it turned out – the green has so much depth – it's not just one flat shade of green. Then I sealed it with a coat of clear wax and it's good to go – off to Rebecca Christine's Consignment Boutique!
The seat looks a little stark, and moreso in the pictures. I'm debating on adding green "grainsack" stripes… what do you think?
If you would like to keep up with future furniture revivals, there are many ways to follow on the right! Happy to have you!
Nice makeover. I love the effect of the milk paint and the green you chose.
Thanks Sandy – I tend to agree!
Hi! Well. ..My vote is definitely with the grain sack stripe….If you want an example, I did one not long ago on the seat of a chair…come for a visit and check it out if you like! thecuratorscollection.com Lovely color!
Thank you so much Terry – I love your chair!
The green looks great with that desk!
I just popped over here from Redoux. I love the Tavern Green on the chair. I think grainsack stripes would look great; maybe a slightly faded green color for the stripe?

EMM for Chrome Enterprise
The big news this week is that Google is opening up Chrome OS to the EMM community. This means, in the future, MobileIron customers will be able to easily add Chromebooks to their enterprise deployments. We've always believed that choice is central to modern computing and that Chromebooks would become a key platform for business users.
The capability and cost-effectiveness of new Chromebooks is making them viable replacements for some laptops and, even more importantly, a way to extend computing to a broader percentage of the enterprise workforce.
A good example is Lenovo's enterprise-grade ThinkPad 13 Chromebook. Wes Williams, Executive Director of PCG Emerging Technologies at Lenovo, recently told me: "We are seeing virtually all of our largest customers begin piloting Chromebooks and evaluating how best to use them within their organizations. In the past year, the rate of evaluations, pilots, and deployments has spiked."
At MobileIron, we see this trend as well and expect many of our customers to adopt Chromebooks.
However, Chromebooks historically created complexity for IT because they were secured and managed completely separately from the organization's PCs, tablets, and smartphones. There were no APIs available from Google for Enterprise Mobility Management (EMM) providers like MobileIron to integrate Chromebooks into a unified security and management architecture.
But now that will change.
Stay tuned! We'll update you as Google's new APIs become available for use.
