Angie is going to be there and Depp. But no George. He is not going to show up on the red carpet until Golden Globes in early January?
Angie is promoting a film so she might be at the Globes too and then maybee she will meet Amal at the red carpet?
Re: Award season has started.
Lainey is bitching about how Angie and Johnny had no chemistry when they were promoting the The Tourist in 2010.
I actually liked that film.

Every day in hospitals across the United States, safety errors occur due to lack of communication between healthcare providers. The Joint Commission has estimated Hospitals across the nation that "80% of serious medical errors involve miscommunication between caregivers during the transfer of patients". Additionally, per Becker's Hospital Review, one-third of malpractice cases involving nursing cite a breakdown in communication. Many hospitals across the country have set the standard that bedside reporting is to be conducted at the change of each shift, yet shift-change report is often not executed at the bedside for various reasons. Nurses often cite bedside reporting is time consuming between patient interruptions and various nurses giving and/or receiving report; however, research shows bedside reporting increases patient satisfaction, patient safety and nurse satisfaction.

Despite possibility of new funding, Lewis & Clark Regional Water system cities grow inpatient
There's good news and there's not-so-good news about funding for the long-delayed completion of the Lewis and Clark Regional Water System in Southwest Minnesota, Southeast South Dakota and Northwest Iowa.
While the U.S. House included an additional $25 million for rural water projects in the Energy & Water Appropriations Bill it passed Wednesday, it's uncertain how much with be allocated for the project--and its share is unlikely to be enough to complete the water pipeline.
The Worthington Globe reported in House bill increases funds for rural water program:
If approved in the FY14 budget, Lewis & Clark and five other rural water projects would vie for a portion of this $25 million. The Bureau of Reclamation would make those funding decisions. Any additional funding would be on top of whatever is included for Lewis & Clark in the FY14 Budget — the Senate version includes $3.2 million, and the House version includes $3.05 million.
"If additional funding is made available, it hopefully would be enough to allow Lewis & Clark to get pipeline about halfway to Luverne, while also delivering water to one of Rock County Rural Water District's two connection points," Larson said. The pipeline currently ends at the Iowa border.
Lewis & Clark is currently 65 percent complete. The 20 local members and three states have pre-paid 100 percent of their non-federal cost share ($153.7 million), so the schedule to finish construction is entirely dependent on federal funding.
The remaining federal cost share in September 2012 was $201.3 million. By comparison, the remaining federal cost share in September 2010 was $194.3 million. The $7 million increase in two years is the result of federal funding not even keeping pace with inflation.
At the Marshall Independent, Steve Browne reported in LCRWS still in drought mode that the delays have cost member cities in other ways:
As originally planned, four members in Minnesota - Worthington, Luverne, Lincoln-Pipestone Rural Water and Rock County Rural Water - would have 100 percent of their water needs supplied by the system when completed.
When funding dried up, Luverne was forced to spend about $700,000 for two new wells and a reclamation basin.
Larson said if LCRWS gets the $7 to $8 million in federal dollars, the most optimistic projections for this year provide for, it might be able to begin construction on enough pipeline to get half way to Luverne, possibly enough to hook up with Rock County Rural Water (RCRW).
One town in Iowa is considering withdrawing from the project, Sioux Falls ABC-affiliate KSFY reports in Sheldon to make "Lewis & Clark" decision by the end of August:
Sheldon, Iowa should have started receiving water from Lewis and Clark last year.
They are not. To keep their water wells in good shape, they depend on rainfall.
And despite heavy rains in the spring, it did not help the way Sheldon had hoped.
"We were hoping that the spring rains would recharge our wells but that's not the case. Our water production is still down quite a bit." City Manager Scott Wynja tells me, as a result...the city of Sheldon is now under a water watch. No car washing, no plant watering, no non-essential use of water...in an effort to conserve as much of it as possible....because there is not much there right now.
And Wynja tells me, sometime within the next seven weeks, the city will decide if they are going to stick with Lewis and Clark...or abandon the project and try something else. "We need to have a hard discussion as far as where we're gonna go from here. Is there an alternative solution by working with Lewis and Clark to make that connection work? or do we have to work with another rural water system to see if we can make some type of inter-connect?"
None of this would be an issue is Lewis and Clark construction had stayed on schedule and federal funding had stayed constant.
All 20 Lewis and Clark communities and their states have paid their pipeline construction costs upfront.
But instead of having a dependable source of water....in Sheldon...all they can do is hope for more rain to build up their water wells. "If we don't have some additional rainfall this summer, over the course of the next two to three months, we're going to have some real concerns going into the fall, the winter, back into the spring of having enough available water for our community."
One option Sheldon may exercise: connecting their water systems into one...if not two...near-by rural water systems in the area.
Why did federal funding fail to come through? Funding for the project, which enjoys bipartisan support from federal and state lawmakers in the three states, was first jeopardized when President Bush slashed funding. Members of the area's congressional delegations responded by requesting earmarks for the project; when earmarks became a political football and were banned, securing the money became more difficult.
The project is necessary because the groundwater in the area is naturally undrinkable by people and livestock. Some wells produce water that smells like rotten eggs and farm animals fail to thrive if they drink it.

Fruit Tree Sale
Fertilizer/Cookbook
Articles written by Darryl McCullough (unless otherwise noted)
Super Hass
If you've learned a bit about growing avocados in Florida, you'll know that the Hass variety that dominates the grocery store bins doesn't work well here. And though we have many excellent varieties adapted to our conditions, there are some diehard Hass lovers. In fact, I am married to one (though we'll see how her tastes evolve if my Jose Antonio and Catalina trees produce). For their exacting palates, there may now be a Florida solution.
At the Tropical Fruit Society of Sarasota's mini-tree sale last October, I had a chance to ask Fruitscapes owner Steve Cucura about the Super Hass avocado variety that he now has for sale. It originated as a seedling of a Hass avocado tree that belongs to a dooryard grower in Louisiana. Steve and Immokalee wholesaler Billy Hopkins acquired it and have developed it for Florida growers.
The owner was calling it Ooh-La-La, the kind of name that's cute but would wear thin after a while. Steve took to calling it the Super Hass, and I think that will stick.
Steve has found that the tree is vigorous in Florida's humid climate. It certainly looked that way from the 7-gallon specimens he brought to the sale--- grafted last year and already taller than I am. More importantly, it is very productive.
Super Hass fruits in September and October. The only weakness Steve has found is that the fruits sometimes ripen unevenly. He said this seems to diminish as the fruiting season goes on, and gave me a couple of freshly picked fruit to sample. The first was opened when it felt just a bit soft, like a ripe Hass, but turned out to be underripe. The second did ripen unevenly, but the ripe part tasted exactly like a Hass.
Waiting a while longer to open them likely would have produced better ripened fruit. And Noris Ledesma says that fruit trees have to learn how to make good fruit, so maybe the Super Hass trees will outgrow the problem. I expect a prime high-ground planting site to open up next spring when I put some declining citrus trees out of their misery, and I'm intrigued enough to give Super Hass a try.

How Many Trees Are There?
How many trees are there in the world? Scientists are making progress in the effort to answer this question.
An article in the Washington Post highlights a study recently published in Nature. A team of 38 scientists reported their research on not just the number of trees, but the distribution and, most importantly, how this count has been changing in recent years.
The investigation combined satellite observation data with more than 400,000 ground-based observations of tree density. It turns out that nearly half the planet's trees are in tropical regions, with most of the rest about equally divided between temperate zone and boreal (northern) forests. For those who may be wondering, the scientists' definition of "tree" is a woody plant with trunk diameter at chest height of at least 100 cm, or about 4 inches.
The bottom line looks like good news. The study found that there are more than three trillion trees, which works out to 422 trees per person on the planet. This is more than seven times the previous estimate of 400 billion.
How do different nations stack up as far as trees per person? Canada, with its extensive boreal and tundra forests and relatively low population density, has an impressive 8,953 per person, and for similar reasons Russia racks up 4,461. This outdoes Brazil, which with its rapidly disappearing Amazon rain forest is down to 1,494 per person. At 716, the U. S. is comfortably above the world average. China has only 102 per person, and crowded India only 28. My Indian friends would counter that measured by resource consumption, the average American counts as dozens of average Indians. Could be they have a point there.
Three trillion is a lot of trees, but the scientists believe the tree count has fallen 46% since the beginning of human civilization. And the current annual net loss from human activity, wildfires, and pest outbreaks is around 10 billion. A sobering flip side to the increased count is that restoring forests to historic levels would require many more trees than previously thought.
Yet another reason to plant more fruit trees.
Males Not Needed. Females Either.
Until this fall I haven't focused much on my papaya plants. The half dozen I planted in 2013 promptly departed for compost heaven in the standing water of that very wet summer. I tried again and now have a random assortment of them growing, mostly in not enough sunlight. They are making fruit, but are too small to carry it to maturity.
Now I'm working on a major upgrade to my papaya horticulture. Some of the details will appear upcoming posts, but today let's just review one of the oddities of this unusual fruiting plant--- the fact that papayas (basically) have three genders: male, female, and hermaphrodite (or, in Tropical Fruit Forum-ese, hermies).
Males are easily identified by their flowers, which as seen here are on relatively long peduncles (flower stems), as opposed to the other two genders whose short peduncles keep the flowers--- and later the fruit--- close to the main trunk.
Males go directly to the compost heap.
Females are a little trickier to identify. Their flowers have ovaries but not anthers. If you have one producing fruit that you like, it may be worth keeping, but generally speaking the females belong on the compost heap as well.
The keepers are the hermaphroditic plants. The flowers are "perfect", meaning they have both ovaries and anthers. Hermies are self-pollinating, and can pollinate females as well as other hermies. The fruit of the females tends to be rounder and have a larger seed cavity. Some sources say the hermie's fruit is tastier. Even if not, the assured pollination, smaller fruit cavity and a shape conducive to tighter packing for shipping make hermies the nearly universal choice for commercial growers.
There are rules for the proportions of genders to be expected in seeds from the various pollination combinations of male-female, hermie-female, and hermie-hermie, but they won't be on the exam. More important for the home grower is being aware of various phenomena involving papaya gender and fruiting. Males can produce small, useless fruit. Females sometimes produce fruit without pollination--- I've had one, which had no seeds and was bland-tasting. Some papayas have both male and female flowers. Some hermies produce some male flowers. Sometimes--- especially after a traumatic event--- papaya plants will change genders.
In short, thin out the male and female plants, and be prepared for surprises.
I Killed It
I killed a tree today, a fruit tree. Most of us have killed some--- there was the one that I watered too much, and the one I didn't water enough, and the one that I never figured out which. Ha, ha.
But this was a real killing. A healthy tree that I've eaten plenty of fruit from, that did what it was supposed to do. An act considered, fully evaluated, planned, and efficiently carried out.
There's only so much space, and so much sunlight, and I need that prime irrigated spot for something I really, really want to grow there. In this situation, I often transplant the current resident to another location, and generally that's worked out well. But for various reasons it wasn't worth it this time.
People run the gamut when it comes to killing plants. I've heard of some who have difficulty just thinning vegetable starts, and certainly there are plenty who simply don't see plants as an emotional matter--- if there's a better alternative, it's simple logic to take it.
As a vegetarian, I'm occasionally asked whether I think plants can feel pain. I am certain they do not. Animals, being mobile, need pain to make good decisions of where to go--- it tells you which things are harmful, so you can choose to avoid them. Plants, though exquisitely reactive to their environments, make no such decisions. Since the structure needed to experience suffering requires an investment of matter and energy, a pain-feeling plant will be outcompeted by one that puts those resources to better use. Whether you subscribe to Darwin's concepts or not, you know that useless structure is not to be found.
So pain's not an issue. Every day I rip out unwanted plants and recycle their nutrients as compost, never giving the matter a second thought. But a fruit tree that I put there myself, and has done what I asked from it, that feels different. We are connected.
The time has arrived. Loppers, saw, pry bar and trenching shovel in the wheelbarrow. I meditate briefly to Ma'am Gaia, accepting responsibility for my original bad decision to plant the tree, and vowing to learn from it. Lop off the branches, chop off some feeder roots, now work on the trunk and main roots. Main roots left in the ground will compost eventually, yet for some reason I don't like to just saw them all off. After extracting dozens of saw palmettos, I'm good with a pry bar, and I use it to work out some of the main roots along with the root ball.
It's done. Twenty minutes of work have erased three years of growth. As I wheel the pieces away to leave them for tomorrow's brush pickup, I marvel at how little they weigh, for something that could capture that much sunlight and turn it into that much fruit. I think back to when I planted it three years ago, and how much has happened since then, and wonder what the next three years might bring.
Every end is a beginning, and the sword must balance the scepter. I'll pull out another tree tomorrow, if the need arises. But I hope it doesn't.

My latest addition is a Bosworth 3 lychee or, for the insiders at Tropical Fruit Forum or just someone typing on one of those teeny-tiny keypads, a B-3. It's also known as Kwai Mai Pink for its pink-colored fruit.
It's a somewhat uncommon variety, achieving only a single, one-page thread at Tropical Fruit Forum. The Fairchild Tropical Botanic Garden's website describes it as a small tree that is a consistent producer of small but delicious pink fruit. Pine Island Nursery's cultivar viewer describes the fruit as good to excellent, and the tree as a regular producer. The coloration and small fruit size diminish its commercial potential, but it's rated an excellent choice for the home grower.
I did a bit of Ecosia-ing (regular readers--- both of you--- will recall my preference for the tree-planting search engine Ecosia) and found some curious tidbits. A vendor in the Canary Islands reports that the Bosworth 3 is more cold-hardy than other varieties. An Australian poster on Tropical Fruit Forum says its doesn't require as much cold as other varieties do to fruit successfully. Seemingly contradictory, but not actually logically inconsistent.
Then there is the Australian nursery that describes the Kwai Mai Pink tree as medium to large, with fruit that is red when ripe. I'm thinking someone musta' sold them a bill of goods, but maybe they are not so far off. It turns out there is a Kwai Mai Red cultivar. The Archives of the Rare Fruit Council of Australia list both the Kwai Mai Pink and the Kwai Mai Red, the latter also called the Bosworth 10.
Finally, on eBay you can buy a "Live Kwai Mai Pink Lychee Seedling". Perhaps not the best place to buy a fruit tree. Though if one is going to buy a seedling, it's good to get a live one.

When Ellington started his 1969 European tour at the end of October that year, three performances of the "Second Sacred Concert " was scheduled, The first one was to take place in Stockholm on November 6, the second in Paris on November 16 and the third one in Barcelona on November 24.
The website has published the full performance of the "Second Sacred Concert" in the Gustav Vasa Church in Stockholm on November 6, 1969. It was done in two installments – the first one was published on December 8, 2016 and the second on April 27 this year.
Now the website turns to the second performance of the "Second Sacred Concert" – one in Paris.
After having criss-crossed Europe after the visit to Stockholm, Ellington and the orchestra must have arrived in Paris on November 15 to be fully available for both a rehearsal and the concert in the Church of Saint Sulpice in the 6th arrondissement of Paris on November 16.
The Swingle Singers had been engaged to do the choir part at the concert and Wild Bill Davis was present as well.
Based on NDESOR, it seems that the program in Saint Sulpice was identical to the one in Stockholm except that two numbers were added to the program – "The Preacher's Song" sung by Tony Watkins and "In The Beginning God" with Babs, Watkins and The Swingle Singers.
The website has not been able to locate a film with the full version of the concert but it was certainly filmed and the material used to produce a 40 minutes film. Possibly it was done by a company called Le Service des Variétés or as part of a series with this name.
The film covers about half of what was performed at the concert and includes the following songs: Praise God – The Shephard – Heaven – Freedom – Meditation – TGTT – Praise God and Dance.
We are happy to share it here with DESS' members and our other readers. Unfortunately, the last 3 minutes of the film is missing. Perhaps someone can provide us with a complete version.
It is obviously recorded from one of Philippe Adler's Jazz 6 programs on the French TV channel M6. His voice is heard in the beginning and in the middle of the film.

The Futures of Southeast Asia and the US Intertwine
June 5, 2017 • CRITICAL ANALYSIS, International Relations, Asia - Pacific
By Vannarith Chheang
The important role of ASEAN in regional security has already been realised by the world, particularly by the United States. Vannarith Chheang emphasises that more than regional security, the US must recognise ASEAN's crucial role in the economic realm.
ASEAN member countries are concerned about US's commitment in Asia amid changing global geopolitics. The US is reorienting its foreign policy by focusing more narrowly on the American interest under the motto "America First"– which is characterised by transactionalism, unilateralism, and bilateralism.
The US's decision to withdraw from the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) creates a wave of economic and strategic uncertainty across Asia. This also largely affects strategic credibility and moral legitimacy of the US.
Without clear strategy and concrete action plans towards Asia, particularly ASEAN, the US will lose its strategic leverage and influence in the region, which in turn will hurt the US's core regional interests.
There are signs of relief after the visit by Vice-President Mike Pence to Indonesia and the ASEAN Secretariat to reassure ASEAN that the US remains committed to the region. Pence also confirmed that President Donald Trump will attend East Asia Summit (EAS) and ASEAN-US Summit in November.
Trump called the Philippine President in capacity as the chair of ASEAN after the 30th ASEAN Summit in Manila on April 30 to seek diplomatic support from this regional body in pressuring North Korea to give up its nuclear weapons peacefully.
ASEAN took an unprecedented approach on North Korea by strongly condemning the nuclear tests by Kim Jong-un, and collectively urging North Korea to "immediately comply fully with its obligations arising from all relevant United Nations Security Council (UNSC) resolutions".

What does the current research state? I find this article to be most truthful with all of the facts on how homework shouldnt be assigned to poor lads with either after after school work or activities. So, whats appropriate? What benefits can be expected? What makes for good homework policies? Research doesnt have all the answers, but a review of some existing data yields some helpful observations and guidance. You can exercise any time you want and the chances of getting into a college due to a sports scholarship is very low.

What's more interesting than the flurry of filings, however, is the fact that only 6 allege systemic discrimination—discrimination against a group of employees based on a common policy or practice. Earlier in September, the EEOC published its draft strategic enforcement plan for the next 5 years. Its number 1 claimed priority is "eliminating systemic barriers in recruitment and hiring." Yet, only approximately 20 percent of its flurry of filings strike at these systemic barriers.
What does this activity by the EEOC mean for employers?
You have to remain vigilant in your efforts to rid your workplaces of all kinds of discrimination. The EEOC is watching, and, where the facts warrant, will litigate on behalf of an aggrieved individual.
Disability discrimination is a prime enforcement target. Invest some time and money (i.e., training) to ensure that your managers and supervisors understand their obligations under the ADA to reasonably accommodate disabled employees. Review your policies to ensure that they do not single-out disabled employees or operate to deny them reasonable accommodations.

Google's Mad Dash
Its speedy purchase of DoubleClick might have neglected to consider some pitfalls.
Vishesh Kumar
Just in time for its quarterly week in the spotlight, here comes
Google's
(GOOG) - Get Alphabet Inc. Class C Report
highly anticipated second act: display advertising.
Late Friday, the search giant -- which will report first-quarter earnings on Thursday -- announced that it had acquired online advertising tech firm
for $3.1 billion. Consistent with prior statements that it considers its own stock undervalued, Google paid the deal in cash to the consortium of private equity firms that held DoubleClick.
The acquisition will provide a serious boost to Google's efforts in the market for rich, graphic advertising. Until now, the overwhelming majority of Google's revenue has come from the small, four-line text ads served up next to its search results.
"The first, and in many ways the most compelling, argument for this from a Google perspective is that it is accelerating our display advertising business," CEO Eric Schmidt said in a conference call for investors late Friday. The deal would allow Google's efforts to leap forward by several years, as compared with going it alone in display advertising, he added.
But the acquisition marked more than just a major leg up in another big market, Google's management repeated during the call. By combining DoubleClick's strength in the display market with its own lead in search advertising, Google would be able to innovate the entire field of online advertising.
The end result would benefit all parties. Advertising agencies would be able to sell both types of ads to their clients, which Schmidt claims they're clamoring for. "This allows agencies to offer the integration of search and display, Schmidt said. "That integration is something people have been asking us for a very long time."
Advertisers would benefit by having more options in terms of placing their ads, targeting audiences better and measuring their overall efforts on one platform. Users, meanwhile, "benefit from more targeted ads," Schmidt said. "They don't waste their time looking at ads that are not relevant."
The beneficiary of this new virtuous circle, of course, would be Google. And more so than any financial metric, the opportunity to make more money by linking the search and display businesses is what compelled Google to put the hefty price tag on DoubleClick.
"We looked at a variety of financial ratios on a standalone basis, but -- as Eric pointed out -- what we looked at most was the overall revenue opportunity here," said Google Senior Vice President David Drummond. "
We looked at the complement this brings to our brand advertising business, and the other ways this transaction will complement our core business, and based our value of the business on that."
Some on Wall Street agree with Google about the potential of combing the two types of online ad businesses and believe it could even throw open the floodgates for large advertisers.
Bank of America Securities analyst Brian Pitz had forecast that the growth in branded advertising would outpace search advertising in the second half of 2007. "This deal gives us added confidence, as we believe the combined Search and Branded advertising platform should provide large branded advertisers with the accountability and tools they have been seeking with respect to online advertising spending -- a catalyst for accelerating the online migration of advertising dollars -- especially from larger under-penetrated industries such as Pharma and Consumer Package Goods where online represents only 1-2% of total ad budgets," he wrote in a research note on Friday. Bank of America Securities makes a market in Google shares.
Still, Schmidt struggled to explain why now was the right time for Google to snap up DoubleClick. In response to a question about why the deal was happening now, Schmidt said, "When we did a strategic review, which we've done for this year, we realized that the scale of the display ads business was much larger than we had thought." Google's move was driven by an "understanding now of how much larger an opportunity it was and how it could be targeted," he said.
But it's hard to believe that the size of the display market suddenly dawned on Google. After all, not only has the company itself been a participant in the display market, it has also seen competitors such as
(YHOO)
AOL's
(TWX)
Time Warner and
(MSFT) - Get Microsoft Corporation Report
feed off that revenue.
Rather, Schmidt is avoiding stating the obvious about the deal: Google's hand was forced when it was reported that Microsoft had approached DoubleClick about an acquisition. Keeping Microsoft from picking up DoubleClick -- which may well still have a valuable overlap of customers with Google -- had to play a role in Google's move.
And the acquisition shows telltale signs more of a rush brought on by a fierce bidding war than a contemplative move -- even beyond the ballooning price tag. Google didn't have time to fully think through the deal.
Asked about what Google will do with Performics, an online marketing company operated by DoubleClick that counts Yahoo!, among others, as a customer, Google co-founder and President of Technology Sergey Brin said the "complication that you recognized is also one that we have discussed. Unfortunately, with the overall size of this deal and the rest of the DoubleClick business we have really been focusing on, I don't think we have a concrete plan to share with you today." Brin said that Google "will have to figure that out after the transaction closes."
And while it is thrilled about being able to link search and display advertising, Google is not yet clear on where using search queries to target display ads would cause a breach of privacy. Talking about the possibility of such a product, Brin said, "Anything along those lines would have to -- anyway, I don't know. I think there are quite a few challenges with such a plan with respect to how we feel about privacy."
Google's rush to acquire is important for investors because it means the search giant may not be fully aware of the pitfalls it faces. For one thing, many of DoubleClick's customers may not be happy supplying data, such as the rates they charge for ads, to Google, which can share the data with competitors and is itself a competitor of sorts. "While we believe this deal is more about relationships on the advertiser side, we caution that there is a risk of DoubleClick losing significant relationships on the publisher side as a result of the deal," Pitz wrote, highlight a fear that Google seemed to gloss over during its call.
Given that it doesn't seem to have the finer points of its display thrust sorted out, Google is banking on its broader overall philosophy of Internet advertising for guidance. "Since Google's inception, it has always been our intention to present users with highly targeted, useful advertisements when appropriate -- ads that unobtrusively complement users experience," Susan Wojcicki, Google's vice president of product management, posted on the company's blog Friday, in announcing the acquisition.
"We have always believed in, and tirelessly pursued, the idea that serving relevant, unintrusive ads would best serve our advertisers in the long term."
But Google's approach of serving up discreet ads may be much more suited for search than display advertising. In search, advertisers pay only when users click on an ad. But in display, advertisers pay each time the ad is served up to the attention of a user, even if it's not clicked on.
Indeed, display ads have been growing increasingly animated and hard to ignore over the years since that's precisely what advertisers want. DoubleClick, a pioneer in the field of the incredibly-annoying-yet-hard-to-ignore field of popup-advertising, should know all about this.
Investors should hope it doesn't take anything as strenuous as another annual strategic review for Google to discover this aspect of the display market.

It is when climate change is considered by you that it is oil, and gas that is one of the major factors that causes it. Whenever you will be taking a look at this one that these factors are only part and parcel of the whole scenario. You will be able to see nowadays different groups and peopel that are creating innovations to be able to attain sustainabality It is oil sustainability that has been the focus of some sectors like the Sustainability Accounting Standards Board (SASB) and has been asking for different pieces of advice when it comes to oil sustainability. It is the SASB that has been setting the standards to ensure that these things will be attainable especially with companies like the World Oil Corp that has been involved in oil production and the like. It is in this article that we will be talking abut the many different things that need to be done to attain oil sustainability.
There should be stricter scrutiny when you want to achieve this one. There is a need for more scrutiny and regulations since greenhouse effect has been increasing. Whenever you will take a look at the total methane emission of the US that the oil and gas has been contributing 30%. Compared to carbon dioxide that it is the methane that is much more dangerous. That is why many cities in the US like caliofrnai as been very keen to oil sustainability.
You have to see to it that you will have the safety records in place. You have to know that when it comes to extraction method that there are instances that it can be riskier than others and that is why safety and preparedness is needed. When you will take a look at fatality that it is the gas and oil industry that has been leading compared to other industries in the market.
It is also important that there will be a trend towards innovation to make oil and gas sustainable. You have to see to it that when sustainability is what you want to fully achieve that there are also some things that you need to be doing like cleaner fuel blends, lighter and recycled materials, green building products, and advanced bio fuels. When you will take a look at some companies that it is them that are using fly ash in order to keep their coal fired power plant going especially in cement making. It is 80 million tons per year that fly ash is being produced in the US alone.
Whenever you will be wanting to achieve sustainability that it is transparency that you also need to do. It is transparency that is needed os that it is the guidelines that the different sectors have set including the government that will also be followed.

Final Sonorous III Headphones
Created: 15 November 2016
Final Sonorous III headphones measurements can be found by clicking this link.
Final is a brand from Japan that specializes in exotic, high-end headphones decorated with lots of shiny metal bits. I've seen Final headphones at a few headphone shows, but otherwise have rarely encountered them. That's true of a surprising number of small headphone companies, which seem to do most of their sales through the Internet. When I found out about the Sonorous III headphones, a closed-back design priced competitively at $399 USD, my curiosity was piqued.
There's nothing especially unusual about the Sonorous IIIs at first glance, except that most of their competitors are designed to some extent for travel. You probably wouldn't want to travel with these headphones, however -- they don't fold in any way, and their earpieces stick out. Surprisingly, though, the stock cable is tipped with a smartphone-friendly 3.5mm plug, and the Sonorous IIIs' high sensitivity makes them appropriate for use with portable devices.
The guts are more interesting. Each driver is built as an integral part of the glass-impregnated polycarbonate front baffle, and the center of the driver's diaphragm is made of titanium. The backs are of thick ABS plastic. Still, this is a very straightforward design.
The Sonorous IIIs come with just one accessory: a 63" (1.6m) detachable cable. It's a nice cable, though, with metal-barreled plugs on both ends and a bayonet-style locking mechanism that prevents them from accidentally pulling loose.
For me, at least, the Sonorous IIIs presented a problem in fit. The earpads, made of a synthetic leather over springy foam, feel rather rubbery. They swivel slightly in all directions, but they're large. I sometimes found it difficult to get a good seal with them because some part of an earpad wasn't seated flat on my cheek, and I suspect that people with smaller faces than mine might have even more difficulty. But by fiddling a little, I was apparently able to get a good seal -- because, as explained below, the bass was particularly great.
The Sonorous IIIs are also a little more bulky and heavy (14.5 ounces, or 410gm) than most closed-back 'phones in this price range, but nowhere near as heavy as some of the big, audiophile-oriented, planar-magnetic headphones.
The Sonorous IIIs can be used with a headphone amplifier but don't have to be. Their high sensitivity meant that I got good results whether I was listening casually, using as a source my Samsung Galaxy S6 smartphone, or when I had the Finals hooked up to my big Audio-gd headphone amp.
Most of the headphones I've tried get the bass wrong in some way. Often, there's either too much or too little. Earphones and closed-back headphones tend to have a strong bass resonance in a particular range of frequencies that can make them sound boomy. This drives me crazy -- I'm a bass player, and I know what basses really sound like. I own five of them, from a solid-body DeArmond travel bass with a 19" scale to an acoustic double bass with a 41" scale. So often, when I'm listening to headphones, I think, "I know the bass isn't supposed to sound like that." Listening through the Sonorous IIIs, I never thought that for even a second.
The Sonorous IIIs revealed their character quickly, and in this case that was a good thing. I put on a complex recording, "Re Run Home," from tenor saxophonist Kamasi Washington's The Epic (MP3, bitrate unknown, Brainfeeder/Amazon Prime), and immediately heard that the headphones' sound was well balanced, with nothing particularly sticking out in the mix. The sounds of the saxophone, trombone, piano, and percussion were natural and neutral, with no obvious coloration, all with a nice, wraparound sense of space. What really got me, though, was the insistent, dead-on-the-beat drive of the electric bass.
When I switched to my favorite midpriced closed-back headphones, NAD's Viso HP50s ($299), they delivered a bigger, more natural, more seamless sense of space (although with a less-focused sound on the solo instruments), but the bass boomed somewhat, and the power of the groove wasn't as strong.
For a jazz recording, The Epic is complex and heavily produced, so I switched to a more straight-ahead side: alto saxophonist Jim Snidero's Main Street (256kbps MP3, Savant). In my favorite track, "Post Time Saratoga," Linda Oh's double bass in her solo sounded just right through the Sonorous IIIs, with what sounded like the perfect amount of box resonance, a just-right fullness, and all the upper-end detail I wanted -- but with none of the excess finger and/or string noise that some treble-heavy audiophile 'phones deliver. Sure, some double bassists go after that big, boomy, resonant sound, but Oh's sound is cleaner and more melodic, and the Sonorous IIIs captured it perfectly. The one thing in "Post Time Saratoga" that I thought the Sonorous IIIs got wrong was that Rudy Royston's ride cymbal sounded a bit too sizzly.
Wondering how the Sonorous IIIs might handle music with fuller, more powerful bass, I put on "Consumption," from ZZ Top's La Futura (16-bit/44.1kHz WAV, American). This album was produced by Rick Rubin, known for his heavy use of dynamic range compression, and ZZ Top bassist Dusty Hill has always favored a fat, old-school, Texas-blues bass sound. Again, the Sonorous IIIs produced a tonally neutral sound, with clear and natural reproduction of voices and guitars, and just a little extra hiss on Frank Beard's cymbals. The bass guitar and kick drum sounded tight, powerful, and perfectly in sync. Switching to the HP50s smoothed out the sound of the cymbals, but now the bass boomed a bit.
No matter what I played, I heard similar results, and which headphones I preferred depended on the music. Music with more bass and rhythmic drive favored the Sonorous IIIs. Music with lusher production, and in which the rhythm wasn't as important, favored the HP50s. One great example is "Don't Save Me," from Haim's Days Are Gone (256kbps MP3, Columbia). The HP50s' big, naturally even soundstage made this heavily produced recording sound appropriately huge, and its cleaner high-frequency reproduction made the voices and percussion sound smoother. Through the Sonorous IIIs, the bass did sound tighter, more even, and less resonant, but the snare drum sounded too zippy and lacked body, and some of the sense of space was lost. But the Sonorous IIIs' sound was still quite good -- going up against the NAD HP50s in a spaciousness shoot-out is a losing proposition for almost any closed-back headphones.
The Final Sonorous IIIs have a neutral sound overall, with some of the most perfect, natural, grooving bass reproduction I've ever heard from headphones. They produce a nice sense of space, and they bring individual instruments into sharp focus, even if they're not the most spacious-sounding headphones I've heard. Assuming they fit the user's head and ears well, it's hard to imagine that anyone seeking natural sound reproduction with solid rhythmic drive won't like the Sonorous IIIs.

Controlling SkyLand promotes the design of a management control system in the start-up phase of a company in the tourism sector.
The case requires a critical view of the described system, namely the implementation of responsibility centers, performance measures, and targets.
Students should recommend the most appropriate forms of control for a start-up such as SkyLand and propose a new management control system aligned with the company's strategy.
The case builds on Otley's (1999) and Simons' (1995) frameworks and provides excellent material to practice their theoretical concepts.


Bed bug monitors and traps are essential tools in a bed bug treatment process. They can detect bed bug activity, monitor the population over time, and can even stop bed bugs from reaching you in your bed. Most monitors are designed for low cost, single use, and easy disposal, which can add up in cost over time. Recently, Jeff White (from BedBug Central) has introduced a new, more modern take on the bed bug monitor, with SenSci's easy-to-use, discrete, and reusable Volcano.
SenSci Volcano is a new monitoring device that serves as a cost effective solution for detecting and capturing bed bugs. As a passive bed bug monitor, Volcano works by capturing bed bugs climbing over the device during the host seeking process, using the person sleeping in the room as the main attractant. The monitor can be used for early detection of bed bugs in a low-level situation, or to monitor a population, by simply placing Volcano along common paths bed bugs use to reach their host. Volcano's sturdy design is built to handle the toughest of bed bug infestations and, unlike single-use devices, can be reused for endless monitoring cycles.
Standing at 3x3x1 inches, Volcano's low-profile size allows for use in almost any environment. It's volcano-like design even prevents dust from building up on the walls found inside the trap, reducing the chance of bed bugs escaping.
The monitor's exterior features 4 slanted and textured walls that allow bed bugs to climb up effortlessly once they encounter the monitor.
On the inside however, you'll notice Volcano features a set of smooth, flat-faced walls designed to prevent bed bugs from escaping.
Underneath you will find the detachable, clear, concave window for easy inspection, and lure installation.
Volcano consists of only 2 pieces, making it easy to assemble. The only thing you need to check is the orientation of the monitor's inspection window. Once installed, you should also be able to read "Made In USA" from left to right.
To inspect SenSci Volcano for bed bugs, simply pick up the monitor and tilt it enough to look through the clear window found underneath. Give special attention to the walls and corners of the monitor as these are common gathering spots for bed bugs.
If you find bed bugs in your trap, flip the monitor upside down over a sink or bathtub and tap it repetitively to ensure all it's contents fall out. Inspect Volcano thoroughly before placing it back down for another cycle of monitoring.
If you don't find bed bugs in your trap, you can place the monitor back down and check on it periodically.
Although SenSci Volcano works as a passive monitor, it can also be converted into an active monitor by equipping it with a synthetic attractant or lure like SenSci Activ Bed Bug Lure. Sensci Activ attracts bed bugs by simulating human sweat, which causes bed bugs to be actively drawn into the volcano where they can be collected and monitored.
To use SenSci Activ with SenSci Volcano, Simply open a SenSci Activ Lure (following the directions found on the label) and place the opened packet on the center of Volcano's inspection window.
With the Activ lure in place, you can go ahead and snap the window back onto Volcano and make sure that the Activ packet is not pinched between the window and the top of Volcano.
Now you have successfully built an "ActivVolcano", and can place the discrete monitor along baseboards, and the legs of your bed, to catch bed bugs before they can get to you.
Volcano stands as a versatile passive bed bug monitor that can be reused for endless monitoring cycles to control dense bed bug populations, or to detect for early bed bug activity . This alone, can save families and business owners hundreds of dollars in replacing single-use lures. You even have the option of increasing the monitors effectiveness by converting it into an active bed bug monitor, by installing a SenSci Activ bed bug lure. You can include SenSci Volcano in our 4-step solution for getting rid of bed bugs, or use it by itself, to monitor for activity along any paths you believe bed bugs are using to reach you.
SenSci Volcano is an effective bed bug monitor that can be used in any setting thanks to its discreet low-profile design. You can also convert Volcano from a passive monitor to an active bed bug monitor, which can significantly increase the monitors effectiveness at attracting and capturing bed bugs.
