KURTZ FURNITURE CO.
The KURTZ FURNITURE CO. grew to become one of the largest furniture chains in Cleveland. Founded by Isadore and Rose Kurtz, the store opened at 4319 Lorain Ave. in 1905 and always remained a family-owned and operated enterprise. By 1914 Kurtz had moved to larger quarters at 4329 Lorain and in 5 years had bought up the entire block, converting it into one of the largest stores in the area. Kurtz sold primarily to workingmen with families, offering budget terms to those with a steady job at a time when retail credit was limited to the wealthier classes. By 1968 the store had served 800,000 customers.
In the 1920s Kurtz established branch stores to serve its growing market at 9312 Kinsman and 310 Prospect and continued to prosper during the Depression. With the rise of suburban shopping centers after World War II, Kurtz followed the demographic trends and added numerous suburban branches; however, some of these expansion ventures were brief. By 1977 only the warehouse at 1281 E. 38th St., the Prospect and Lorain stores in Cleveland, and suburban branches at 6859 Southland Dr. and 5364 Northfield Rd. remained. A victim of overexpansion and an abundance of discount furniture stores, Kurtz closed its doors in 1980.

A Thousand Ways: A Review of a Theater Piece during a Pandemic
I recently went through a breakup — not with a boyfriend, or a best friend, but with a penpal. J and I had only met twice in person before I suggested we shift our budding friendship to snail mail. An acquaintance from high school I'd reconnected with during my long summer in New York, J would shortly leave the city for college in the Midwest. I was sticking around until I left for Oxford in September, and anxious at the prospect of maintaining yet another relationship through digital means, I proposed J and I communicate longform to save both our friendship and the USPS. Since J and I were not close friends before we became penpals, we included a set of get-to-know-you questions for the other to answer at the end of every correspondence — not icebreakers like our favorite colors or ice cream preferences, but more specific asks, such as "Describe your favorite tree," or "How did you lose your first tooth?"
A Thousand Ways, the new COVID-era performance piece by theatre duo 600 Highwaymen presented virtually this weekend by the '62 Center, is composed entirely of similarly pointed questions (I think one or two of them even overlapped with the ones J and I had asked each other). In A Thousand Ways, two strangers — participants who reserve tickets for the same time slot — dial into a personalized conference call. There, a pre-recorded voice greets the two strangers and guides both participants through a set of questions ("Who is someone you idolized?"), visualizations ("Picture yourself in a blue car on a dusty highway. Say 'I'm there' when you feel it) and partner exercises ("Person A, count down from 5 as Person B traces their forearm from elbow to wrist"). Over the course of the hour, the idea goes, the stranger sharing anecdotes on the other end of the line might become less of a stranger, might "come into focus." I understood this because at the end of the piece, the pre-recorded voice requested I repeat to my partner, "Am I coming into focus?"
I attended A Thousand Ways on the last day of the mandatory two-week quarantine I'd had to undertake upon arriving in England for the semester. As a work of socially distanced theatre, students like myself could attend A Thousand Ways in the evening in England, while a student calling in the afternoon at Williams could attend the same performance. In the post-COVID theatrical landscape, characterized by the absence of physically gathered audiences, it seems every theatre writer and theatre artist more than ever wants to investigate "togetherness." Many theatre artists have (and I believe should have) already been considering "togetherness" as a facet of their work. But socially-engaged artists such as 600 Highwaymen have made "creating intimacy amongst strangers and illuminating the inherent poignancy of people coming together" (a quote from 600 Highwaymen's mission statement) the crux of their practice.
I first encountered the work of 600 Highwaymen — partners Abigail Browde and Michael Silverstone, who attended college together before becoming a couple and artistic duo — in February 2019, when the 62 Center hosted their touring production The Fever. In a pre-show interview for The Record, Browde described The Fever to me as "participatory theatre made by people who hate it." A post-show interview with a friend yielded the phrase "emotionally devastating and ruining." The intensity of The Fever, a performance piece which asked 73 participants to run laps around the theatre, physically support fellow participants, and roleplay scenarios of care and neglect, had left him moved yet drained. I recall feeling similarly moved. I also recall, when asked what The Fever was "about," being completely unable to answer. The Fever had introduced a loose narrative at the outset — participants envisioned themselves at a party, someone was standing in the driveway, there was a character named Marianne — but the narrative quickly surrendered to the orgiastic ecstasy of collective physical experience. Docile after such exertion, most participants in The Fever were willing to accept poignancy — only afterwards questioning whether or not such poignancy was earned — in the quiet of the aftermath.
A Thousand Ways is an intimate piece conceived for a very different world. Because A Thousand Ways only involves two participants, it cannot provide the same moments of unbridled energy that primed me and my friend to find The Fever's calm and vulnerable moments moving. The result is a performance disappointingly one-note: the note in question being manufactured vulnerability. So obviously did 600 Highwaymen want me to feel poignancy and loss when I had to share with Person A answers like "What I neglected to take from my ancestors" or "An element of myself I've lost since I was a child," that I couldn't help but roll my eyes. As if anticipating my cynical reaction, the voice asking the questions interspersed the script with cliche lines verging on apologies, such as "This is an attempt at something," "Words are not always enough, but we can try," and "These are just tiny fragments." I felt some sense of connection to my partner when she shared her personal details with me, but the overtness of "connection" as the performance's goal hindered most real connection at all.
Technically, A Thousand Ways should certainly be commended for its innovative approach to socially-distanced theatre. But a major roadblock to gaining any sense of intimacy from the performance was that the questionnaire was pre-recorded, meaning the persistent voice often interrupted me and my partner while one of us was sharing an answer. Other times, we could not hear clearly enough to answer the question and sat on the line in silence. Much of our day-to-day lives these days is aggressively arbitrated by technology, and I took no reprieve from having this supposedly human and vulnerable encounter likewise depend on an aloof digital mediator. Throughout the piece, I wondered what might happen if I started talking over the pre-recorded script. I wondered if the piece wouldn't have been more profound if I could just call my stranger up on the phone. Perhaps it would have been — but if we'd strode ahead and created that intimacy ourselves, how could 600 Highwaymen lay claim to having created it for us?
The truth is, I was perhaps cynical about A Thousand Ways because I had already tried the question-and-answer method of connecting over physical distance with my penpal, J. I broke up with my penpal because though I could learn his elementary school crush, the figures that recur in his dreams, the names of all six of his roommates, or what instruments he'd played in band class, I would not, for some time, feel his body weight shift as he described these things to me, feel my own body respond to the way his voice filled a room. Gaining all the facts about him in the world would still not allow me the things I could learn about him only through his physical presence, just as describing myself through quirky facts to the girl on the other end of the phone call ultimately brought her no closer to the living me.
A generous reading of A Thousand Ways, one which I am fascinated by though it would radically contradict 600 Highwaymen's declared intention of fostering connectivity, is that A Thousand Ways succeeds as art if its failure to deliver a vulnerable experience to participants is intentional. That is, what if we were to view A Thousand Ways not as an attempted salve for distanced life, but a reflection of art's own failure to provide a real remedy for the loss this pandemic has engendered? There is arguably nothing more contemporary to the COVID-era than crude attempts to replicate the togetherness we've lost. Perhaps theatre such as A Thousand Ways ought to pause its relentless crusade to rush audiences swiftly back to contrived "togetherness." We cannot reach genuine profundity without acknowledging openly what is still raw — that this pandemic has made closeness terrifying, and in our struggle to shape a new way to be, the togetherness we've left behind might not remain the model. Towards the end of the A Thousand Way, the voice asks both participants to lie down and visualize that they are stargazing. Only then, with my eyes closed, lying on my floor and hearing my partner — who I pretended was beside me — "counting stars" on the other end of the line, did I begin to feel the almost religious sense of togetherness I had experienced during The Fever. Who the person was scarcely mattered — what mattered was their presence, even if I was imagining it, besides me, their willingness to be near me. When the line went dead, the feeling was taken away as abruptly as it came on. I wept: in two weeks of quarantine, I'd never felt more alone.

Q: Text Extraction using pdfbox library based on the co-ordinates and Rectangle2D.Double I am trying to extract the text based on the co-ordinates/positions of words from a pdf file using pdfbox library.
Steps I followed till now :

*

*I used the "PrintTextLocations" class to get the positions. I made a
trial for extracting text in a specific area by constructing a
Rectangle2D.Double object. But, if I try to relate steps 1 & step 2
, I could not find any similarity like x and y coordinates, width and
height. My doubt here is, how can I extract text by clubbing both the
ways like this:

*
get the positions of characters
  build an area(rectangle) with them
  extract the text from that region.
  for ex: CAT. is the word I wanted to extract from the pdf.

- String[441.38,411.02002 fs=8.0 xscale=8.0 height=5.544
   space=2.2240002 width=5.776001]C
  String[447.156,411.02002 fs=8.0
   xscale=8.0 height=5.544 space=2.2240002 width=5.776001]A
   String[452.932,411.02002 fs=8.0 xscale=8.0 height=5.544
   space=2.2240002 width=4.8880005]T
String[457.82,411.02002 fs=8.0
   xscale=8.0 height=5.544 space=2.2240002 width=2.223999].

I am extracting the same word by building an area with the following dimensions.    Rectangle2D.Double head1ColTwo = new Rectangle2D.Double( 300, 380,160, 35 );
this is the rectangle area which I built and successfully obtained the word "CAT."
The reason why I am following this way is, I have some fields in my database and only a human can read and get the values for those fields. I want to automate that process. The major problem here is, the field names will not be there in the  pdf file.
Please suggest me if this is the correct way according to my requirement mentioned in the above paragraph, if not , suggest the alternative.

A: Your problems are due to a PDFBox quirk, in its text extraction code it uses coordinates in different coordinate systems. E.g. in the PrintTextLocations method writeString the output is generated like this:
for (TextPosition text : textPositions)
{
    System.out.println( "String[" + text.getXDirAdj() + "," +
            text.getYDirAdj() + " fs=" + text.getFontSize() + " xscale=" +
            text.getXScale() + " height=" + text.getHeightDir() + " space=" +
            text.getWidthOfSpace() + " width=" +
            text.getWidthDirAdj() + "]" + text.getUnicode() );
}

and in the PDFTextStripperByArea class (I assume you use this class for extraction based on the co-ordinates and Rectangle2D.Double) it filters like this:
if( rect.contains( text.getX(), text.getY() ) )

The coordinates returned by getX and getY and those returned by getXDirAdj and getYDirAdj can differ substantially. Both are based on the actual default user space coordinates but

*

*getX and getY are derived using the PDF page Rotate entry, and

*getXDirAdj and getYDirAdj are derived using a rotation derived from the current transformation matrix.

Thus, I would propose reading the same coordinates from the TextPosition as are used by the PDFTextStripperByArea filtering

Projects > No2 Forbury Place
Information Team
Client: M&G / Bell Hammer
Size: 21,321sqm / 229,497sqft
Services: Architecture
No2 Forbury Place is the final part of our award-winning new landmark office development in the Thames Valley that brings Central London quality to Reading. Developed speculatively by owners M&G and development manager Bell Hammer the Forbury Place Estate consists of three buildings, two new office buildings and a third older building that has been renovated to compliment the estate. No2 Forbury Place was completed in 2018 and consolidates this exceptional high calibre development with dynamic architecture, quality finishes and proven success.
The speculative development creates a highly efficient, agile office headquarters building that provides unrivalled quality in Reading to attract national and international occupiers. The success of this was evident when No2 Forbury Place secured the biggest letting in Reading Town Centre for 3 years; since No1 Forbury Place was entirely let to SSE, which in turn was the largest letting in Reading for 25 years and the biggest deal in the Thames Valley for over a decade.
The massing and sculpted form of the 8 storey building responds to its gateway location and prominence from the railway, while responding sensitively to the historic urban context of the neighbouring Forbury Gardens. The east and west façades are protected from solar gain by vertical blades, which twist to create a sense of movement as one passes the building and gives the building its immediately recognisable and strong identity in a gateway location to Reading. Deep-plan naturally lit floor plates are provided through the introduction of a striking atrium, generous floor to ceiling heights and an openness that promotes views to Forbury Gardens and the wider Thames Valley. The building provides a new benchmark in the region for the promotion of health and wellbeing with its unmatched cycle and changing facilities.
No2 Forbury Place is BREEAM 'Excellent' and has Platinum Wired Score Rating. It was winner of the BCO Award for Best Commercial Workplace (South of England & South Wales) 2019, an award for which its sister building, No 1 Forbury Place was shortlisted in 2017.

Q: LibGDX FrameBuffer I'm trying to make a game where you build a spaceship from parts, and fly it around and such.
I would like to create the ship from a series of components (from a TextureAtlas for instance).  I'd like to draw the ship from it's component textures, and then save the drawn ship as one large Texture. (So i don't have to draw 50 component textures, just one ship texture. What would be the best way to go about this?
I've been trying to do so using a FrameBuffer.  I've been able to draw the components to a Texture, and draw the texture to the screen, but no matter what I try the Texture ends up with a solid background the size of the frame buffer. It's like the clear command can't clear with transparency. Here's the drawing code I have at the moment. The ship is just a Sprite which i save the FrameBuffer texture to.
public void render(){

    if (ship == null){
        int screenwidth = Gdx.graphics.getWidth();
        int screenheight = Gdx.graphics.getHeight();

        SpriteBatch fb = new SpriteBatch();

        FrameBuffer fbo = new FrameBuffer(Format.RGB888, screenwidth, screenheight, false);

        fbo.begin();

        fb.enableBlending();
        Gdx.gl.glBlendFuncSeparate(GL20.GL_SRC_ALPHA, GL20.GL_ONE_MINUS_SRC_ALPHA, GL20.GL_ONE, GL20.GL_ONE_MINUS_SRC_ALPHA);

        Gdx.gl.glClearColor(1, 0, 1, 0);
        Gdx.gl.glClear(GL20.GL_COLOR_BUFFER_BIT);

        fb.begin();

        atlas.createSprite("0").draw(fb);

        fb.end();

        fbo.end();

        ship = new Sprite(fbo.getColorBufferTexture());
        ship.setPosition(0, -screenheight);
    }

    Gdx.gl.glClearColor(1, 0, 0, 1);
    Gdx.gl.glClear(GL20.GL_COLOR_BUFFER_BIT);

    batch.begin();

    batch.enableBlending();
    batch.setBlendFunction(GL20.GL_ONE, GL20.GL_ZERO);
    ship.draw(batch);
    batch.end();
}

A: The problem here lies in this line:
 FrameBuffer fbo = new FrameBuffer(Format.RGB888, screenwidth, screenheight, false);

specifically with Format.RGB888. This line is saying that your FrameBuffer should be Red (8 bits) followed by Green (8 bits) followed by Blue (8 bits). Notice however, that this format doesn't have any bits for Alpha (transparency). In order to get transparency out of your frame buffer, you probably instead want to use the Format.RGBA8888, which includes an additional 8 bits for Alpha.
Hope this helps.

Article Figures & Data
Citrate concentration-dependent responses of human and mouse NaCT. (A) Application of increasing concentrations of citrate to oocytes expressing human NaCT induces ion currents with increasing amplitude. Upon citrate application, the maximum amplitude of ion currents is reached within a couple of seconds and when citrate is removed from the oocyte the currents return to baseline level. (B) The same citrate concentrations applied to oocytes expressing human NaCT were also applied to uninjected oocytes. Citrate induced small nonspecific inward currents only at the highest concentrations (10 and 30 mM). (C) Application of increasing concentrations of citrate to oocytes expressing mouse NaCT induce ion currents with increasing amplitude. Bars above the responses indicate the time of application of citrate and the concentration of citrate applied is indicated above the bars.
Various citric acid cycle intermediates serve as substrates for human and mouse NaCT. (A) Xenopus oocytes expressing human NaCT were perfused with high concentrations (30 mM) of citric acid cycle intermediates. Each intermediate activated the transporter and the current amplitude varied with the intermediate tested. (B) Oocytes expressing mouse NaCT were perfused with near maximum effective concentrations (300 μM) of citric acid cycle intermediates. Each intermediate activated the transporter and the current amplitude varied with the intermediate tested.
Concentration-response curves of the citric acid cycle intermediates to activate human NaCT (A) and mouse NaCT (B).Concentration-response curves were obtained for each citric acid cycle intermediate and current response amplitudes were normalized to the amplitude of a 3 mM (human) and 30 μM (mouse) citrate-induced response in the same oocyte.
Effect of sodium substitution by potassium, choline, and lithium on citrate-induced inward currents. (A) Effects of ion substitution on human NaCT. A near maximum effective concentration of 10 mM citrate induces a large inward current in oocytes when recorded in standard, sodium-containing recording solution. When all sodium was replaced by potassium, choline, or lithium, 10 mM citrate still induced ion currents, but their amplitudes were smaller than in sodium-containing recording solution. (B) Effects of ion substitution on mouse NaCT. A near maximum effective concentration of 0.1 mM citrate induces an inward current in oocytes when recorded in standard, sodium-containing recording solution. When all sodium was replaced by potassium or choline, 0.1 mM citrate did not activate mouse NaCT. When all sodium was replaced by lithium, 0.1 mM citrate evoked a small response.
Modulation of human and mouse NaCT by lithium ions. (A) Potentiation of human NaCT at a relatively low citrate concentration. Citrate was applied alone or coapplied with various concentrations of lithium as indicated. Lithium increased the citrate-induced ion currents in a concentration-dependent manner. (B) Inhibition of human NaCT at a higher concentration of citrate. Lithium decreased citrate-induced ion currents in a concentration-dependent manner when it was coapplied with 3 mM citrate and no full inhibition was obtained at the highest concentrations of lithium tested. (C) Potentiation and inhibition of human NaCT by lithium depends on citrate concentration. Concentration-response curves for lithium were measured using four different concentrations of citrate to activate the transporter. Lithium potentiated citrate-induced ion currents when the citrate concentration was relatively low. Increasing the citrate concentration from 0.1 to 0.3 mM reduced the maximum amount of potentiation of the citrate responses by lithium. When the lithium concentration was further increased to 1 or 3 mM, the effect of lithium was reversed from potentiation into inhibition. The estimated values for Emax/Emin, EC50/IC50, and Hill slopes obtained the curve-fitting procedure are summarized in Table 4. (D) Potentiation of mouse NaCT at a relatively low citrate concentration. Citrate was applied alone or coapplied with various concentrations of lithium as indicated. Lithium increased the citrate-induced ion currents in a concentration-dependent manner. (E) Potentiation of mouse NaCT was abolished at the higher concentration of 100 μM citrate. (F) The degree of potentiation of mouse NaCT by lithium depends on citrate concentration. Concentration-response curves for lithium were measured using two different concentrations of citrate to activate the transporter. Lithium potentiated citrate-induced ion currents when the citrate concentration was relatively low. Increasing the citrate concentration from 1 to 100 μM reduced the maximum amount of potentiation of the citrate responses by lithium to almost zero.
Substrate sensitivities of human and mouse NaCT
Responses of the various substrates were normalized to control responses to 3 mM and 30 μM citrate human and mouse NaCT, respectively. Data are presented as means ± S.E. and means (95% confidence intervals). In the fields in which no values are given (indicated with dashes), the responses to the substrate were either too small to fit a curve to the data, or the concentration-response curves did not saturate at the highest concentrations of the substrates tested. Conservative estimates for "fold difference" values were calculated by using the upper value for the 95% confidence interval of the mouse EC50 and the lower value for the 95% confidence interval for the human EC50; therefore, the true "fold difference" is likely even greater than the reported values. All substrates tested were significantly more potent on mouse NaCT compared with human NaCT (t test, P < 0.001).

Safety and innovation are the two main factors that drive just about any industry today. That is no different when talking about the cooking industry. If you've done any type of cooking in your life, then there's a good chance that you've been burned by a flame, hot stove or oven, or even a pot that just came off the fire. Actually, some of those things may have happened to you if you were just an innocent bystander and not even involved in cooking. That's where best induction cooktop come into play. They provide a new and innovative method of cooking that is safer and more energy efficient. The only heat coming from the cooktop will be where the cookware sits, which means you have a much lower chance of getting burned. Induction cooktops are becoming increasingly popular, and they could easily be the norm in the very near future.

2020 Honda Civic Si Coupe Is The Last One We'll Get And Now I'm Crying
By William ClaveyAugust 31, 2020Honda
The 2020 Honda Civic Si coupe isn't much different than the last Civic Si coupe I drove three years ago. Except perhaps a slight facelift and some subtle interior updates, the car is essentially the same. Why am I driving it then? Because Honda recently announced it's killing off the Civic coupe by the end of this year. This also means the Civic Si coupe will leave the lineup. And that makes me sad, because I'm about to lose one of my all-time favorite sport compact cars.
What A Legacy
It's weird that the 2020 Honda Civic Si coupe is both the final model-year, but also the year it gets a facelift. Don't worry, the Civic Si sedan will remain in the lineup, and Honda should definitely offer this in hatchback form for the next generation. Still, loosing the Civic coupe is a big deal as it has one hell of a legacy behind it. The Civic coupe was arguably the sportiest-looking of the lineup and the most modified throughout its long history, especially after everyone saw three of them being driven by the bad guys in the first Fast and the Furious movie. My personal favorite Civic of all time remains the SiR (Civic Si in the U.S.) coupe of the late nineties. It was lightweight, fun and had VTEC, looked rad. For 2020, the basic Civic Si formula remains relatively unchanged, albeit some updated exterior and interior changes, revised transmission gearing and new standard driver assist features. I'm personally not finding this current-generation Civic is ageing well, but I do find the coupe to remain the prettiest one of the lineup. Not sure about the HDMI-looking rear exhaust though. The most notable exterior changes this year come from new front and rear bumpers as well as standard LED headlights and new matte-black 18-inch wheels. That huge wing also remains there, but it actually fits well on the coupe. Inside, the Si gets more red accents as well as a digitally amplified exhaust sound when the car is set to Sport mode. I personally hate that last one, which I'll get back to in a bit. Power from the 1.5-liter turbocharged four remains identical as last year. It's rated at 205 horsepower and 192 lb-ft of torque. The only available gearbox, a six-speed manual, now gets a quicker final-drive ratio for improved acceleration. Front-wheel-drive is still the only way to go for the Si, with a claimed 0-100 km/h time of about 6.2 seconds. Pricing for the Si remains value-packed, and the base MSRP only went up about $1,000 since the last time I drove it. At $31,060 the Si comes full loaded as a unique package. The only available options are the $300 paint colors like this Platinum White Pearl and an $1,183 body kit. It's honestly a great value.
Still So Sweet To Drive
I gotta say, even though this current Civic Si is an entirely different car than its predecessors, it still hits the spot for good old sport injected Honda fun. Remember, the Si's role in the lineup was never to be a track monster. That space is left for the top-flight Civic Type R. Instead, the Si offers the daily driveability of a standard Civic with just the right amount of extra performance. An Si not only gets more power over a Civic Sport, it also gets adaptive dampers, a helical limited-slip front differential, a revised suspension and slightly beefier brakes. Unlike past VTEC models though, the 2020 Honda Civic Si delivers its power in a decidedly more mature manner. Gone are the days where you need to rev the crap out of the engine to obtain performance. This turbocharged Civic now offers a good dose of low-end torque, which prevents you from downshifting all the time. It's a great engine, but I do miss the high-pitch yelp of the old cars. I'm also not a fan of its synthesized exhaust sound when you put the thing in Sport mode. Honda, why don't you just do like the Hyundai Veloster N? That thing sounds nuts. At least, Sport mode actually does things, as it firms up the car's adaptive dampers and sets this Civic up for ultimate cornering attack. It's a fantastic little car to flog into a corner, and it provides the right amount of power to have good old fashion fun with it. Perhaps its best feature is how light everything feels. While the current Honda Civic is a very big car compared to its predecessors – weighing in at a lofty 2,889 pounds – it feels rather nimble and light on its feet when you're pushing it hard. Steering is very vague though, with no actual sign of feedback, but there's also no torque steer which is great. The clutch feels as light as the car itself, makes this Si very easy to daily drive. And don't get me started on that manual shifter. It's arguably the best one of any car, ever. It's slick, precise, fun to row and looks cool as hell too. Inside, the 2020 Honda Civic Si remains a pleasant place to be. While the current Civic's styling may be questioned by many, it nailed cabin ergonomics and design four years ago and remains fresh today. What I particularly like is how well-laid out everything is. Seating position is spot on, the center console is a giant cave in which you can dump virtually everything and the car's instrument cluster is a large, clear digital display on which it's super easy to find all the information you need. That said, the Civic's infotainment system remains a disaster. Honda tried to fix it by adding a volume knob and a few physical buttons, but the touch-heavy controls associated with the unintuitive layout of the menus lead to a system that's more distracting than useful. The good news is that it connects easy to Android Auto (which is what I use), and makes good use of it, so there's that. At the end of the day though, the 2020 Honda Civic Si retains all the charm of the standard Civic and infuses it with just the right amount of sportiness to make any automotive enthusiast smile. It's a formula that has ensured the Civic Si to remain among the best sport compact cars currently on sale for over three decades, a direct rival, if you will, the the Volkswagen Golf GTI. This is why losing the coupe variant makes me sad. While definitely not the most practical one of the Civic family, the Civic coupe has long been the wild child, the rebel, if you will, of the entire Civic lineup. Seeing it go is like seeing a large chunk of my youth die. Buy one and lock it up in a barn until it's worth twice its original price.

Scientists in School
Caring Counts
Caring Counts , Impact Stories
Success is hearing "I want to be a scientist when I grow up!" Every time we enter a classroom or community setting, our goal is to encourage kids to dream big and think about a future or a career that perhaps they never thought was possible, until they had Scientists in School. We want children to believe they can make a difference in their world and achieve their aspirations.
On any given school day, 3,000 children in more than 100 Ontario and Alberta classrooms are transformed into young scientists. Engaged and in-the-moment, they peer into microscopes, examine rocks, test their powers of observation, bounce and bend light, design pneumatic models that have the power to solve a problem, explore insect adaptations, investigate properties of matter, experiment with levers, and build bridges to their futures.
No longer just students, these children are scientists – biologists, chemists, engineers, ecologists, geologists and physicists — in school.
At Scientists in School, we have a vision that every Canadian child will be actively engaged in the seeing, doing and understanding of science and be excited about science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM). Our workshops instil fundamental STEM literacy skills, which will help to prepare students for 21st century careers, and also help to develop the critical skills needed to find innovative solutions to complex environmental and health-related challenges. We believe that one child at a time, we can change attitudes towards STEM and create new possibilities for children.
Thank you Huronia Community Foundation! Your support over the last nine years has helped to inspire children and youth across the region to explore science in their everyday lives and dream about STEM careers of the future. You play a vital role in helping today's young scientists become tomorrow's skilled workers, leaders and innovators.

Mental Health in Motion
For the past two years, the Huronia Community Foundation has made mental health


Scottish Liberal Democrat health spokesperson Alex Cole-Hamilton MSP has today accused the First Minister of not following through her words with actions when it comes to mental health, as the promise to put mental health on a par with physical health has failed to materialise. The comments follow the First Minister's programme for government speech where she dedicated merely one sentence to mental health.
"On Tuesday, with just a meagre 27 words out of thousands on mental health, the First Minister has completely let down those in desperate need to see improvements in mental health care. Those north of Dundee having to travel hundreds of miles to reach the care units they need and patients waiting 1200 days to be discharged from a secure unit have been let down.
"The damming reception for the delayed mental health strategy, has been underscored by the reality that there is still no replacement for the suicide strategy which expired in December. And yet, this summer we learn of an 8% increase in people taking their own life in this country.
"How many scandalous statistics do we have to see before the Scottish Government sit up and make the transformational investment that is required? Warm words won't make up for an unambitious mental health strategy.


BUFFALO, N.Y. — Snowed out in Buffalo, the Bills are heading to Detroit to play their "home" game against the New York Jets on the night of Nov. 24.
The NFL announced the location and date of the game on Nov. 20 night after a severe lake-effect storm paralyzed much of the Buffalo region. More than 5 feet of snow has fallen in the Buffalo area since Nov. 17, and another 1 to 3 feet was projected to fall by Nov. 21.
The storm forced the Bills to cancel their past two days of practice because of impassable roads and driving bans in Orchard Park and many communities neighboring Ralph Wilson Stadium. The team intends to travel to Detroit on Nov. 21 and practice at the Lions' facility.
The Lions are at New England on Nov. 23. "We greatly appreciate the hospitality of the Detroit Lions in hosting the Bills and this game," NFL spokesman Michael Signora said.
The last time an NFL game was moved to Ford Field unexpectedly, the fans who did show up witnessed a bit of history. Brett Favre's streak of 297 regular-season starts came to an end that night — on Dec. 13, 2010 — when the Minnesota Vikings lost to the New York Giants 21-3. Favre was sidelined by shoulder and hand issues.
The decision should help the Bills get back on track after their routine was disrupted by the storm. It also gives them an extra day to prepare, with the game pushed back from Nov. 23.
Bills coach Doug Marrone and his staff have been living at the Bills headquarters since Nov. 18. They've been going over the game plan and consulting with the team by phone and computer because a majority of the players have been snowed in. And those who can get out are unable to travel to the facility.
The Bills (5-5) are already coming off an extended break. They had last weekend off following a 22-9 loss at Miami on Nov. 13. The Jets (2-8) are coming out of their bye week, and haven't played since a 20-13 win against Pittsburgh on Nov. 9.
Earlier on Nov. 20, New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo said it would be difficult for the game to be played in Buffalo because snow removal and emergency resources were already stretched thin.
Given how much snow needs to be cleared, Brandon said there's no telling if Ralph Wilson Stadium will be ready in time for the Bills' next home game against the Cleveland Browns on Nov. 30.
Without providing any assurances, Brandon said it will take "an all hands on deck exercise" to have the stadium ready to host the Browns. He added that the Bills are already contemplating the possibility of spending much of next week practicing out of town while the cleanup in Buffalo continues.
The Bills estimated on Nov. 19 that 220,000 tons of snow covered the team's 200-acre grounds — enough to fill their practice fieldhouse eight times over.
The temperatures are expected to warm into the 40s by Nov. 22, with a high of 47 projected for Nov. 23. But a sudden thaw presents another problem by raising flooding concerns.

Hooligan, the former ETNZ TP52, has been one of our most successful designs ever. It has won most of the regattas it has been involved worldwide, due to its extraordinary speed. We designed the boat in late 2008, after finishing the Puma VOR70 project, and its novel stern shape has clear influence from the round the world racer. The sailing team from ETNZ had plenty of input on the deck layout and systems arrangement, and Giovanni Belgrano supervised the structural engineering carried out by SP/Gurit (and soon afterwards started Pure Engineering NZ with ETNZ colleagues). CFD work on the hull and appendages was carried out by our full time consultant Alberto Porto. The boat was built by Cookson and the mast by Southern Spars (engineered by Steve Wilson).
Current owner Marcus Blackmore is taking great care of this special boat, and the boat is being kept in great condition racing in Australia.


My husband made this announcement in church yesterday.
We truly appreciate your prayers.
On Monday, January 24th, I learned that Concordia Lutheran Church, Jackson, TN, has issued to me a Divine Call to serve as their Pastor. The documents and accompanying material have now arrived, and I am in the process of reviewing them. Just as you were led by the Holy Spirit to call me to be one of your pastors, so now the people of Concordia Lutheran Church have been led by the same Holy Spirit to extend to me this call.
I ask that you join me and Jamie in praying for a decision that will be for the good of Christ's kingdom and for the benefit of both congregations involved. If you have any questions about the call process, or wish to offer any thoughts, one way or the other, please don't hesitate to share them with me. Feel free to call or email at any time I hope to announce my decision on Sunday, February, 20th.
We will be going to Tennessee on Wednesday to check out the church/housing situation and will prayerfully consider this call...and his current call to Mt. Calvary.
Praying for wisdom for you guys!
definitely praying that God would grant you wisdom and guidance in your thought process and that He would bless you in whatever decision He leads you to.
Well...we've got 7 votes over here for you to stay put. But seriously, we know this is going to be a difficult decision and we are praying for you.

Loopholes in New Policy Drive Down BlackRock's Coal Test Scores
BlackRock scored 0 on all but one criteria.
Yesterday, Reclaim Finance, a European-based climate organization, in partnership with 27 other NGOs, released the first online tool which identifies, analyzes, and compares the coal policies of global financial institutions. The tool will be maintained and updated in real-time and covers financial institutions in 30 different countries. It is the first of its kind and is a critical new tool for civil society to hold financial institutions like BlackRock accountable.
You can find it at: https://coalpolicytool.org/
All coal policies are not created equally and it's important to assess them for a few reasons. While it has become fashionable for many financial institutions to have a policy restricting coal investments, many such policies are riddled with loopholes so large that they defeat the purpose of having such a policy in the first place, as they allow continued Investments of capital in the coal economy. Secondly, many financial institutions compete against one another for customers, employees and accolades; it is important to compare policies in hopes that competition will spur a race to the top.
Not surprisingly, BlackRock was among the lowest scoring institutions because, despite announcing a new coal policy in January, BlackRock's exclusion criteria only covers a small part of the coal sector and has been applied to only a fraction of BlackRock's overall assets under management.
BlackRock scored 0 on all but one criteria applied by the Coal Policy Tool to asset managers.
On the remaining criteria, BlackRock has the lowest possible score because its policy does not cover the whole coal value chain and is not applied to more than 70% of its assets under management.
BlackRock's policy affects only less than 20% of the 746 companies on Urgewald's Global Coal Exit List.
More generally, US asset managers, which dominate the market worldwide, were among the worst performers of all the financial institutions evaluated. US asset managers, including Vanguard, State Street, JP Morgan Asset Management, and Fidelity, scored a zero across all criteria evaluated.
"US asset managers tend to share an inadequate, dead-end approach to coal and climate. Whether it's California's pension funds CalPERS and CalSTRS, or the biggest global asset manager BlackRock, we face policies that only tackle the mining side of the thermal coal industry and leave out all other coal-related activities. These financial giants deserve their failing grades for all criteria of the Coal Policy Tool; and their claims to be addressing the climate crisis and divesting from coal ring hollow, when their coal policies keep ignoring the majority of the coal sector" says Vanessa Warheit, Executive Director of Fossil Free California.
This new coal policy tool is another clear signal that BlackRock has a lot more to do to live up the climate promises it made in January. BlackRock remains the world's largest backer of fossil fuels and deforestation.
That's why groups across the country and around the globe are coming together in the next few weeks for the September swarm; distributed actions on the ground and online to turn up the heat on BlackRock. Find out more here.

Vaadin Security Updates
Mikael Sukoinen
On May 11, 2021 11:23:42 AM
You might have been wondering about the increased number of security-related emails in your inbox. Our newly appointed security team has been performing internal code reviews, especially on the build-time tooling, and found a bunch of less-critical vulnerabilities. We are also now a CVE numbering authority and communicate the vulnerabilities a bit differently.
As a 20-year veteran in the OSS community, Vaadin has always played a role in pushing the community forward and sharing our knowledge with researchers worldwide. You can find a list of vulnerability reports and details for reporting a potential security flaw on the Vaadin Security page.
These updates form a part of our 20-year-long process of providing stability and security for your business web applications.
The main thing that has changed is the way we communicate vulnerabilities. Previously, security issues were discovered and fixed as a part of the normal development process, but the presence of those issues wasn't communicated. Now, this has changed and a security advisory is disseminated via vaadin.com/security for every issue that might be used as a part of a cyberattack.
This means that we now send more emails to our customers about security vulnerabilities and the questions that may arise concerning their severity. Our vulnerability-handling processes comply with ISO/IEC 30111 and ISO/IEC 29147 standards.
Unpatched vulnerabilities in third-party code also present a significant threat to the software supply chain. Malicious actors can use vulnerabilities discovered by security researchers in open-source code to attack any application that relies on that code. This poses a significant risk, as 99% of organizations use some open-source code in their software, and 91% of codebases have components that are out of date or that have not seen developer attention in years.
Although the recent surge in security emails may be alarming, the bottom line is that we thoroughly investigate all possible security issues and communicate all of them to our customers, so that they are aware of them and can update their dependencies on time.
What is CVE?
Vaadin was recently accepted as a Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) Numbering Authority (CNA). Membership in this program will help us streamline vulnerability-disclosure processes and improve our communication with security stakeholders.
The CVE program authorizes companies with CNA status to issue a CVE identification for vulnerabilities within the scope of their products. These CVE IDs are then provided to researchers, vulnerability-disclosure authorities and information technology vendors, facilitating effective and transparent discourse on security vulnerabilities.
Security researchers can now work on CVEs directly with Vaadin. We will also have access to several CVE-compatible databases, enabling us to work in unison with other companies against attackers and improve cybersecurity in the industry.
About the CVE program
The CVE program was launched in 1999 by the not-for-profit MITRE Corporation. Today, there are 166 technology organizations from 27 countries participating as CNAs, in addition to numerous global stakeholders that maintain an open data registry of vulnerabilities. Participation is voluntary, and Vaadin is the second Finnish company to join the program.
You can find the full list of CNAs and request their CVE IDs on the CVE webpage.
New Vaadin security emails
Committed to transparent messaging, our new security emails follow a rating based on the Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS), where a base score of 1.0 to 3.9 indicates Low Severity, and 7.0+ a High-Severity rating. You can read more about the assessment on the CVSS web page.
The emails contain information about the severity, affected products, and procedures to counter the vulnerabilities. These emails are sent to registered users and the full reports are published on the security page.
Register now to receive these security notifications to your inbox.
Figure 1. Low-severity email banner from 1.0 to 3.9.
Figure 1. Hgh-severity email banner from 7+.

The Brant Foundation Art Study Center, Uber-collector Peter Brant's sprawling Greenwich, CT, exhibition space, will host the most comprehensive Dash Snow exhibition to date in November, the Observer has learned.
The move by this billionaire art-historical myth maker to posthumously endorse, showcase and elevate Snow—leader of a controversial coterie of early 21st century New York artists—could be a game-changer for the artist's estate. Mr. Brant's speculative influence on the art market has often garnered tangible auction and private sales results and a reassessment of the artist's work.

In the Loyola men's basketball team's first exhibition game in over two years, the Ramblers pulled off a dominating 93-41 win against University of Wisconsin-Stout. Redshirt junior guard Braden Norris led the game with 17 points while graduate guard Lucas Williamson brought in four steals.
Junior guard Marquise Kennedy joined Williamson, Norris, graduate forward Aher Uguak and sophomore center Jacob Hutson in the starting lineup. Kennedy filled in for graduate guard Keith Clemons, who is currently being evaluated for a potential injury, though is expected to be back next week, according to head coach Drew Valentine.
The team got off to a slow start, with Stout taking the lead for the first three minutes of the game. Valentine chalked it up to "jitters," given it was Loyola's first game in front of a home crowd since February 2020.
Despite this, the Ramblers quickly transitioned into a more explosive style of play. Williamson's three-point jumper just under four minutes into the game sent the team into a frenzy, causing them to take the lead and never look back.
Zack Miller | The Phoenix Loyola's defense shined in the team's exhibition match against UW-Stout, with the Ramblers holding their opponents to just 24% field goal completion.
As expected, Loyola's defensive capabilities shined on the court. The team totaled 16 steals and seven blocks, forcing Stout into 21 total turnovers. The Ramblers also held the Blue Devils to just 24% field goal completion and 25% three-point completion.
By the second half, Norris — and many of the other starters — took a backseat to bench players, specifically several of the team's newest additions. First-year forward Saint Thomas tied with Uguak and Hutson to lead the team in rebounds, with each grabbing six.
Zack Miller | The Phoenix First-year guard Ty Johnson and first-year forward Saint Thomas both played double-digit minutes in the Ramblers exhibition against UW-Stout.
Recent transfers and senior forwards Ryan Schwieger and Chris Knight both put in double-digit minutes, with Schwieger pulling in nine points and three assists while Knight nabbed a steal and two blocks.
"I think those guys, both Ryan and Chris, they're going to have a big impact for our team this year," Valentine said in a post-game press conference. "I think they showed a little bit tonight of what they can do."
Senior forward Will Alcock also took the court to a roaring Gentile Arena crowd, and ended up sinking two free throws and grabbing two rebounds in the final minutes of the game.
The Ramblers also had a high pass volume. Kennedy led the team in assists, making five of their 24 total. Unfortunately for Loyola, this also translated into 15 turnovers, which Valentine also chalked up to "jitters."
"I attribute a lot of it to just jitters and getting back to playing in front of people," Valentine said. "As a team, we really shared the ball well. … The guys just gotta be in control of their emotions."
The Ramblers will host Coppin State Nov. 9 at 7 p.m. for the season opener and the game is set to be broadcast on NBC Sports Chicago+.

Record breaking observations find most remote protocluster of galaxies
(Nanowerk News) An international team of astronomers with participation by researchers from DAWN, Niels Bohr Institute, University of Copenhagen has discovered a protocluster of galaxies 13.0 billion light years away using the Subaru, Keck, and Gemini Telescopes in Hawaii. A protocluster is a structure of galaxies still in the process of forming a cluster.
This protocluster is the most distant protocluster ever found. The discovery suggests that a large structure such as a protocluster already existed at a time when the universe was only about 800 million years old or 6 percent of its present age. Finding a protocluster this far away makes finding the needle in the haystack seem an easy task, but more importantly, it holds important information on the history of the Universe.
The blue shading shows the calculated extent of the protocluster, and the bluer color indicates higher density of galaxies in the protocluster. The red objects in zoom-in figures are the 12 galaxies found in it. This figure shows a square field-of-view 24 arcminutes along each side (corresponding to 198 million light-years along each side at a distance of 13.0 billion light-years). Each zoom-in figure is 16 arcseconds along each side (corresponding to 2.2 million light-years). (Image: NAOJ/Harikane et al.) (click on image to enlarge)
The result is now published in Astrophysical Journal ("SILVERRUSH. VIII. Spectroscopic Identifications of Early Large-scale Structures with Protoclusters over 200 Mpc at z ~ 6–7: Strong Associations of Dusty Star-forming Galaxies").
The formation of the largest structures in the Universe is a longstanding problem
In the present universe, there are clusters of galaxies that have hundreds of member galaxies including tens of massive galaxies. Clusters of galaxies are the largest astronomical objects in the Universe. They are connected with each other and make up a huge network of galaxies called the "large-scale structure" of the Universe.
Thus, clusters of galaxies are essential parts of the structure of the universe, and it is a major area of astronomy research how these clusters of galaxies formed and evolved through the 13,8 billion years long history of the universe.
Far away is also far back in time in astronomy
To understand the formation of clusters of galaxies, astronomers have searched for protoclusters of galaxies that are thought to be ancestors to todays cluster of galaxies. A protocluster is a dense system of tens of galaxies in the early universe, which is in the process of growing to a cluster. Finding and analyzing protoclusters in the early Universe is a crucial step to understanding formation and growth of galaxies in overdense regions. This is one of the outstanding problems in galaxy evolution.
Professor Sune Toft from DAWN explains: "Searching the sky for structures like this protocluster is not actually about the record, even though it is rather impressive even to be able to find it. That is an accomplishment in itself. But finding the most distant protocluster is all about moving the limits for what we are able to see - how far back in time are we able to establish a continuous baseline for our understanding of the development of the Universe? When we look far away, we also look back in time. That's why the record is scientifically significant".
The cosmic dawn
In this particular period in the history of the Universe, the cosmic dawn, a period of only half a billion years after the big bang, an enormous amount of activity is going on in the Universe. Galaxy formation can be studied closely, as the limited time frame reduces the amount of events that could influence galaxy formation. In other words, the array of possibilities for events forming galaxies is less wide.
"We can basically limit our focus to fewer elements of the underlying physics taking place", Says Sune Toft. "If I were a detective investigating a murder, I'd want to find the body as soon as possible after the crime has been committed, in order to have fresh clues and unspoiled evidence. That's more or less the same situation here. Enormous astrophysical activity distributed over a short period of time, gives us a whole lot of observational material to work with, and not as many ifs and buts, as when we look at galaxy formation over a longer period of time".
The connection between dark matter and matter emitting light can be studied observationally
"Another very important aspect of the study, which to me is extremely fascinating, is that here, we can study the distribution of galaxies in the cosmic web, and relate what we see - the light from the stars - to the underlying distribution of dark matter. Dark matter really drives everything in the development of galaxies. We just can't see it. But if we become able to place the galaxies in the cosmic web and track the developments, then in turn we can see how dark matter impacts what we can see. That is really the big, unanswered question here. We actually don't know the precise relation between dark matter and matter that emits light at the moment. But studies like this provide us with tools to tackle this problem observationally", professor Sune Toft explains. "Unveiling the dark skeleton of the Universe is really the ultimate goal we have before us with this".

Celebrate Hime's birthday with the story of her creation!
Today is Crunchyroll Hime's birthday! To celebrate her birthday and commemorate the best girl of the anime fandom, we decided today would be the perfect time to share the story of her creation (along with some select art) with all of you!
Crunchyroll Hime, or "Hime", has been Crunchyroll's official mascot for 5 years as of today! Hime was originally a fan creation submitted to the Anime Industry-tans Contest, an online fan art contest run jointly by Crunchyroll, Funimation, Aniplex of America, and NIS America to create "Gijinka" (anthropomorphized mascots) of each of the companies.
Eunice Dahae Baik's design, simply called "Crunchyroll Hime", won against over 100 other approved entries. Victoria Holden, brand manager at Crunchyroll, was so impressed by Eunice's design that she made Hime the official mascot of Crunchyroll, later asking Eunice to collaborate with Japanese artist Shiori Abe to refine the design and create her current look.
Hime's design was carefully crafted to resonate with Crunchyroll's identity. Her primary colors are orange, a reference to both Crunchyroll's logo and, this shouldn't come as a surprise, Naruto, one of the most popular series on Crunchyroll. Her clothing is a futuristically stylized take on traditional Japanese clothing, emphasizing both the origins of Crunchyroll's media and it's dedication to using the most modern technology to bring that media to its audiences at the speed of Japan!
Victoria originally penned Hime a backstory worthy of an anime character. Hime is a "Kitsune", a Japanese trickster fox spirit, who manages the Crunchyroll website along with a squad of lesser spirits. Despite being hundreds of years old, she still attends high school as a senior and is also a ninja! Eunice's original design was modelled after Crunchyroll's social media voice, so she became Crunchyroll's canonical social media manager. If Crunchyroll has ever responded to your tweet or liked your status, that means Hime herself has smiled upon you!
Over the years, Hime has seen a great deal of development and adaptations. She's been the subject of monthly fanart contests, appeared alongside other mascots and characters in official art as part of industry collaborations, and even shown up in several anime! Internal poles fleshed out her original concept with favorite foods, sports, and activities alongside an official Crunchyroll Hime comic, written and illustrated by coughdrops, which has added Hime's younger sister, Sudachi, and her cat, Yuzu, to the official canon.
Hime is, in many ways, the face of Crunchyroll, appearing on all of its promotional material and personifying the company's dedication to sharing its love of anime with the world. To this day Hime works tirelessly managing the site, interacting with the community, of course, and watching a ton of anime!

Time for the UK to show it's serious about CCS
by Phil MacDonald | Jul 19, 2018 | CCS
Today, the BEIS Carbon Capture Utilisation & Storage (CCUS) Cost Challenge Taskforce, on which Sandbag sits, has published its report to Government, with recommendations on how the UK can begin deployment of this vital technology for tackling climate change.
Back in 2012, the Offshore Wind Cost Reduction Taskforce lit a fire under the wind industry, and last year we saw offshore wind contracts fall to their lowest price yet; cheaper than the price for any new build fossil fuel power. The UK's offshore wind industry is now world-leading. Could we do the same with CCS, taking advantage of our huge storage potential in the North Sea?
The Taskforce was asked by Minister of State Claire Perry MP what steps are needed to reduce the cost and maximise the value of deploying CCUS in the UK – in order to inform the Government's development of a deployment pathway for CCUS, due at the end of the year. Sandbag and Green Alliance are the two NGOs on the Taskforce, alongside representatives from industry, finance and academia.
The report's key recommendations are:
The Government needs to create a stable, long-term, supportive policy environment to unlock deployment at scale.
Recycling pipelines and other oil and gas infrastructure as they are decommissioned – and sharing them between CCUS projects – will reduce costs and risks. This will require new business models and public-private risk sharing arrangements.
Unlocking industrial decarbonisation is key. Creating CCUS industry clusters will foster continuous technical innovation.
Debbie Stockwell, Sandbag's Managing Director and Taskforce member, commented:
"CCUS is a globally important technology, vital to the delivery of the Paris Agreement goal of keeping the increase in global temperature well below 2 degrees.
It is also central to the long term future and clean growth of industry in the UK, particularly for those facilities that have limited options for decarbonisation, and the growth of a hydrogen economy.
The Taskforce report recognises the urgency of acting now to deliver CCUS at scale and at lowest cost. We fully support this, and believe the Government should start the process to select CCUS clusters next year.
Through early action, the UK can help to rapidly bring down the costs of CCUS, and can show it is serious about delivering the 4th and 5th carbon budgets, which is currently set to miss.
Sandbag considers that the most important next steps for the Government are:
Decide on the deployment pathway: CCUS is most valuable to those sectors which have limited options to decarbonise, particularly heavy industry. We do not consider that new baseload gas power generation is required, so the Government needs to be careful not to overly focus on CCUS for power generation.
Immediate deployment: CCUS is essential for meeting our carbon budgets cost-effectively: according to the Committee on Climate Change we need a major CO2 storage industry running by 2030. That can't happen overnight: the Government needs to be supporting the development of clusters before 2020.
Shipped storage: To move fast, and send a clear signal over their commitment to CCUS, the Government should actively explore the interim step of shipping our first captured CO2 to Norway.
Set out the role CCUS can play in delivering net zero emissions: CCUS is already essential to meet the UK's current obligations under the Climate Change Act, but following the Paris Agreement these obligations are likely to become more stringent soon. The UK has a chance to be a leader in negative emissions including through combining the combustion of biomass with CCUS (BECCS).
International reputation and trade: With Brexit almost upon us, the UK needs to look for innovative ways to remain influential on the world stage, and to give UK industry a head start in the decarbonisation challenge. Claire Perry has pioneered the Powering Past Coal Alliance to great effect – leading on CCUS technology is a clear way to allow the UK to lead on international clean growth.
With the UK and EU governments now considering a date to reach Net Zero emissions, in line with the Paris Agreement, negative emissions have become even more important for tackling climate change. We look forward to the publication of the UK Government's deployment pathways in just a few months.

I'm still figuring this blog out. I've been able to have a pretty good business without one. And while I swore I wouldn't mix personal and business here I wanted to make a small note about something that has been important to me in my life.
My father was diagnosed with Alzheimer's right around the same time I broke out to start being a consultant. You can imagine the journey it has been. As the Alzheimer's creeps deeper my dad has the obvious ups and downs. And through all of this I'm incredibly thankful for the freedom my job and clients give me to be with my dad during this stage of his life.
I have to give a special shout out here to Pete McIndoe at Home Helpers In-Home Care. We looked at several home health companies to work with my father and his Alzheimer's but he and his staff were clearly the best choice.
I really credit Pete and his team for how well my father is doing and the peace they have helped bring to our lives. If you are reading this and are in Central Arkansas (Go Hogs!) I recommend you look him up and call him if you ever find that you or someone you love needs help. If you are outside of Central Arkansas (Woo Pig!!) you should still call him because he has a great referral network.
Thanks for reading this. Back to work now.

Lets say the code is just that. It wont run and it keeps loading a green circle.
I checked with support and they said it must be an error inside my scripts.

A: You are missing the main.js at /assets/js/main.js and validate.js at /assets/vendor/php-email-form/validate.js these prevent your site to load!


I'm having a bit of trouble with this short part of Pushkin's "October 19" (1825) -- I found both the original Russian version along with an English version. The English, obviously, is not a direct and literal translation. However, I was wondering if the English version posted below is what the Russian version actually "means" or is actually meant to be interpreted as, just differing due to providing suitable changes for reading it in the English language?
This Pushkin's poem is great. It was translated correctly and almost all the words and of course the meaning of the poem match the original.


Working with other women who want to change the world is one of my greatest privileges.
In this interview, Stacy and I discuss how being an Alchemist colors how she runs affects change in the world.
One of the beautiful things I love about being able to empower women to know their archetype is that it also allows them to understand the people around them.
It's easy to look at someone who values money differently and think they're wrong or irresponsible or bad. But by having conversations like this one, we can learn how to understand that our archetype is critical not just to how we see money, business and relationships, but how does the same for others.

Ruffino Prosecco has been produced from grapes grown in highly sought-after vineyards located in the northeastern regions of Italy. It has a bright straw yellow color with fine bubbles and a bouquet that is fragrant and bursting with fruit notes. It shows clean aromas of apples, pears, and citrus, accompanied by hints of wisteria. Crisp, clean, and delicate with fine bubbles on the palate. Intense flavors of apples and peaches lead to a pleasant finish with lingering fruit and floral notes.
