ITS to roll out Power over IP system*
Daniel Silverman
Section: News
Next fall ITS plans to unveil a new system called Power over IP (PoIP) that will replace traditional campus power distribution. The initiative comes on the heels of several other IP developments: the upgrading of the campus network, installation of Voice over IP (VoIP) phone service, and the newly announced IPTV initiative.
Thanks to the upgrades of two years ago, we have a first-rate computer network, said Chief Information Officer Perry Hanson. When we installed the new phone system, we had to completely revamp the entire network, including adding the capability to power the phones. This is just the next logical step.
The move to VoIP service allowed Brandeis to stop paying to maintain the campus phone lines, which were degrading. Now phone service is carried over the same data lines used for the computer network.
ITS has already announced plans to roll out a new TVIP system next year to replace existing campus cable TV, which is also a major drain on the facilities budget, according to Associate Vice President of Campus Operations Mark Collins.
It is silly, really, Collins told the Hoot. We are running all of these different cables — network, phone, TV — and realistically the technology exists now to do it all over one cable. Now with PoIP, you only need one jack!
The new system works by segmenting the computer network into separate virtual networks for each service. In theory an unlimited number of virtual networks, or VLANs, can be created.
We have phone, we have data, we have TV, and now well just add power on top of that, said Systems Services Manager John Turner. In the future we can keep adding additional VLANs for other services;
whatever you can think of will be here within the next three to five years.
Senior Data Network Engineer Mike Fitzgerald explained how the new system works.
Basically, when you plug in a device like, say, a microwave, it registers on the network with a central server. The server knows how much power it needs. Then when you put in your popcorn, it sends a ping to the server and the server sends back power packets, said Fitzgerald.
Because the system only sends the amount of power each device needs, the University will save thousands of dollars each day that used to be wasted when power went unused. Additionally, the backup power systems already built into the data network will make campus power outages less frequent.
One downside of the new system is that each device will require a special adapter to convert from a normal power plug to a network plug. Additionally, all devices will need to be plugged into the back of students phones.
These new phones are what makes it all happen, said Turner. They regulate the power usage and make sure power is distributed fairly.
Senior Systems Administrator Rich Graves told the Hoot that the new system will allow for better power monitoring.
Just like we monitor bandwidth usage and punish people who go over the quota, we can now monitor power as well. If one person is using disproportionally more than others, we can disconnect them from the power network.
Some students are wary of the systems ability to track usage. Now not only will they know when I view porn, when I call sex lines, and when I watch the Playboy channel, now Brandeis will even know when I plug in my inflatable friend, said Albert Cahn 07.
ITS plans to have the new system in place for the start of the 2005-2006 school year. Network Power Adapters (NPAs), which are needed for each device with a plug, will be available at the bookstore for $50 each.
We expect that price to drop over time, said Hanson.


For seventeen-year-old Tam, running off to marry her musician boyfriend is the ideal escape from her claustrophobic life on the island, and the ultimate rebellion against her father and stepmother. But when Tam becomes a widow just weeks later, the shell-shocked teen is forced to find her way forward by going back to the life she thought she'd moved beyond-even as her struggle to deal with her grief is forcing her to reinvent herself and reach out to others in ways she never imagined.
In Alexandra Coutts' highly anticipated, pre-apocalyiptic novel, catastrophe is unavoidable—but the question isn't how to save the world—it's what to do with one week left. Against this stark backdrop, three teens are swept up into intertwining stories of love, friendship and family—all with the ultimate stakes at hand.
Nothing can change the fact that Olivia Larsen's twin sister, Violet, is gone… until a mysterious, beautiful gown arrives on her doorstep. The dress doesn't just look magical; it has the power to grant her one wish, and the only thing Olivia wants is her sister back. With Violet again by her side, both girls get a second chance at life, and they soon discover two more dresses, and two more wishes.

For years now, I assumed the ignorant, tone deaf and often vicious reporting on religion you see in the mainstream media was the predictable result of creeping secularism. By all accounts, there are more "un-churched" individuals around than ever before, and such people tend to cluster into "educated," "liberal" professions like journalism.
The time is long past when even a privately godless reporter was expected to be more or less Biblically literate, and maybe even know that the word "Episcopalian" is a noun, not an adjective.
Now evidence has surfaced that comically stupid journalists have been imposing their stupidity upon unsuspecting readers since at least the 1950s.
When such media malpractice plays a role in influencing the outcome of a Presidential election, I'd say that was pretty important.
All 600,000 of these people are racists!

SubTopic SD-WAN
Consider these 3 SD-WAN best practices before deployment
When planning an SD-WAN deployment, some best practices include evaluating your business model, testing the product and establishing vendor support guidelines.
Jennifer English, Site Editor
Interest in software-defined WAN is surging, as seen in SD-WAN market growth and industry conferences.
Research firms IDC and IHS Markit estimated SD-WAN revenue will reach $5.25 billion and $4.4 billion in 2023, respectively. While those numbers are eye-catching, enterprise IT teams are more concerned about SD-WAN best practices, how to troubleshoot the technology and whether it will make their networks more complex.
Many of those SD-WAN concerns emerged last week at the ONUG Fall 2019 conference in New York City. Users and panelists expressed apprehension about SD-WAN security, holistic visibility and multi-cloud integration. And, despite SD-WAN's growing popularity, risk aversion is still a major deployment deterrent, according to Neil Danilowicz, principal architect at Versa Networks.
"The biggest inhibitor for SD-WAN is it's new," Danilowicz said. When network engineers learn SD-WAN uses traffic steering that varies from traditional methods, they question whether the technology will work and how they'll troubleshoot it, he said. Those concerns then dovetail into the challenge of SD-WAN complexity.
Ironically, the complexity that arises with SD-WAN is a result of the flexibility SD-WAN offers. IT teams can set certain policies to handle their traffic in specific ways, Danilowicz said, but this means they need to write policies that are "intelligent to both the network and the application."
The complexity comes when teams need to ensure both the network and applications talk the same language so the network layer can meet application requirements, he added. This is where integrated analytics can help detect any disconnects or issues.
SD-WAN best practices before deployment
Neil Danilowicz
As IT teams conquer their risk aversion and start to research SD-WAN technology, they should devise a game plan for implementation. Danilowicz mentioned three SD-WAN best practices to consider in the planning stage.
Understand your business model. Enterprises that are evaluating SD-WAN should first nail down their business model and goals, Danilowicz said. While these goals vary among organizations, IT teams should assess how mission-critical applications play with the network, gauge budget and long-term costs, and pinpoint any security concerns. Each organization is different and will have its own objectives, and different vendor options might be better suited to those requirements.
"Each SD-WAN vendor has its niche, with some doing certain things better than others," Danilowicz said. "Knowing what your needs are helps you phrase the questions."
John Fruehe
Another important component in this step is the integration between the existing WAN and the new SD-WAN architecture, according to John Fruehe, an independent analyst. Because most teams don't approach SD-WAN from a greenfield environment, they need to understand how the new technology will work with legacy management tools, connectivity and security.
"It's always important to understand the business model when engaging in a new project, but most SD-WANs are actually replacing or overlaying an existing WAN circuit, not a new project," Fruehe said.
Test the SD-WAN service. Testing is often overlooked, but it's a vital part of any SD-WAN deployment, especially long before the implementation process.
SD-WAN is not a product where you go to the vendor, get a flashy presentation and the sales guy shows you where to sign the dotted line.
Neil DanilowiczPrincipal architect, Versa Networks
"SD-WAN is not a product where you go to the vendor, get a flashy presentation and the sales guy shows you where to sign the dotted line," Danilowicz said. "This takes a lot of preparation and testing to figure out whether or not it meets your needs."
Fruehe likened the process to a test drive when buying a new car. A potential buyer tries out the various features, gauges the performance and speed, and assesses steering and handling.
"You wouldn't buy a car unless you had some time behind the wheel on a test drive, and SD-WANs are infinitely more complex than cars," Fruehe said. "While testing will take a lot of time and effort, it can save tons of time down the road."
An in-depth testing process can take potential customers up to six months, Danilowicz said, and might involve tests for quality of service, availability, scalability, management and failover. The more work that teams do in the testing phase, the easier it is after implementation because they've already established SD-WAN best practices to handle any issues that may arise.
Look for vendor partnership. When looking for an SD-WAN vendor, enterprises can choose from do-it-yourself (DIY) SD-WAN and managed SD-WAN. A crucial part of the search is to ensure the vendor or managed service provider (MSP) offers good, reliable support. Ultimately, the choice correlates to the organization's individual requirements, resources and preferences.
"You want to look at how the partnership with your service provider is going to work," Danilowicz said. "There are a bunch of managed services that can help and aid the journey into SD-WAN. Whether you go with DIY, a complete managed service or a hybrid model, it's really up to the end customer."
With DIY SD-WAN deployments, customers oversee provisioning, ongoing management and troubleshooting. As such, they should look for vendors that offer reliable customer support. In the case of MSP partnerships, IT teams don't deal directly with the SD-WAN vendor that provides the actual technology. Instead, they trust their MSP to choose the vendor, provision the service and help with continued maintenance.
"Many SMBs -- and even some larger companies -- will turn to MSPs or their existing telecom carriers for SD-WAN," Fruehe said. "In reality, in these situations, those companies are basically at the mercy of the provider."
In such cases, businesses need to choose an MSP that they can trust to receive the capabilities and support they require.

Norwich city centre street reopens as roadworks continue
St Vedast Street in Norwich has reopened. Photo: @CastleMall - Credit: Archant
A Norwich city centre street has reopened as a major shake-up to the surrounding roads continues.
In January, four months of work on Rose Lane and the surrounding areas began to widen pavements, introduce new crossing facilities and install a new cycle track to join up with the existing cycle lane on Cattle Market Street.
The bus lane in Rose Lane is also due to be removed, though the two existing lanes for traffic will continue.

As part of the work, St Vedast Street, between Prince Of Wales Road and Rose Lane, was due to shut for seven weeks.
On Monday, February 18 the road opened.

To hear U.S. Sen. Robert Menendez's claim, go to 4:00.
The election is over but claims about President Obama and his Republican challenger Mitt Romney continue being checked by the Truth-O-Meter.
In case you missed it, the Truth-O-Meter on Sunday gave Gov. Chris Christie a Pants on Fire for a repeated claim about his endorsement of Romney, while Sen. Bob Menendez received a Half True on Monday for a claim about the president and job creation.
During a Nov. 7 press conference in Harvey Cedars, Christie repeated a claim that he was the first governor in the country to endorse Romney, a former Massachusetts governor, for president. The Truth-O-Meter first ruled on a version of this statement in September and gave Christie a False. The governor received a Pants on Fire because he repeated the false claim.
The senator, a Democrat, said during an Oct. 27 campaign rally in Monmouth County that Obama's leadership has led to the creation of 5 million jobs, compared with millions of jobs lost under President George W. Bush. But we determined that the 5 million pertains only to private-sector job growth since February 2010 -- a cherry-picked time frame that provides the best possible outlook on job growth.
We also determined that the number of net jobs created is significantly less when we measured job growth under Obama for different timeframes (when the president took office, his first full month in office and the official start of the nation's economic recovery), and factored in lost public-sector jobs.
Says under President Barack Obama, the United States has created "five million jobs."

Says "I was the first governor in America to endorse Mitt Romney."

Elk Run, a coal mining company, did something most of us would find reprehensible. When an employee filed for Black Lung benefits, it had three experts analyze his pathology slides. Two provided unfavorable opinions. They went with the third, and handed that evidence to other experts, who found, based on that single report, that the employee, Gary N. Fox, did not have pneumoconiosis. Elk Run presented this at an administrative hearing in 1999.
Fox represented himself, and lost. He did not obtain the two favorable reports in discovery, did not obtain his own reports, and did not cross-examine the unfavorable report's preparer on his qualifications. A few years later, after obtaining counsel, he tried again. This time, he won.
Unfortunately, due to the previous holding, Elk Run is off the hook for all damages prior to the first trip to the Administrative Law Judge. Unless, of course, Fox's surviving spouse can prove that there was a "fraud on the court" to set aside the judgment under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 60(b)(3), which otherwise places a one-year limit on collateral attacks.
The ALJ ruled that Elk Run's actions, "taken as a whole, constitute a scheme to defraud." Elk Run argued "zealous advocacy." The Benefits Review Board, in a split decision, found in Elk Run's favor.
At the Fourth Circuit, however, the decision was far more clear.
Fraud on the court is a far higher standard than ordinary fraud. In fact, it takes very reprehensible conduct, which casts aspersion on the court itself, to meet the standard, such as bribing the judge or jury, or otherwise exerting improper influence.
Precedent also clearly states that "routine evidentiary conflict[s]," "fraud between the parties," and even "[p]erjury by a party or witness" will not suffice.
The court spends a number of pages telling, exactly, how Fox botched his own case. It notes that attorneys' fees are covered in winning cases. It also noted that Fox failed to take advantage of the adversarial system to detect the fraud, by cross-examining, presenting his own experts, or conducting discovery.
If there was any fraud, it falls under the "routine evidentiary conflict" or "fraud between the parties" precedent, and certainly doesn't meet the "fraud upon the court" standard.
You may think that Elk Run Coal Company's tactics are shady. They'd argue that the reports are "work product" and that no party is bound by the every conclusion of the experts that it hires.
"We bestow no blessing and place no imprimatur on the company's conduct, other than to hold that it did not, under a clear chain of precedent, amount to a fraud upon the court."
That's the nicest way we've ever heard of allowing a coal company to defraud a widow.

Q: TortoiseSVN repository browser shows 2 trunks I'm running TortoiseSVN version 1.7.2 (32-bit).
When I launch the repository Browser I see the following folders in my repository:

*

*Branches

*Tags

*trunk

*Trunk

However when I navigate into either Trunk or trunk they both lead to the same files (at the same revision). I don't know how this happened or how to clean it up without accidentally trashing my vital files.

A: As Filburt pointed out, SVN URLs are case sensitive.
Somebody (you?) has copied the 'Trunk' folder into the 'trunk' folder (or vice versa, but on the uppercase names of Branches and Tags I suggest the former).
How to fix:

*

*Examine how this trunk was created. Check the whole repository logs and filter by path "trunk"

*Make a diff between "trunk" and "Trunk". Make sure you have all files same version (this is easily done with TortoiseSVN Repo-Browser by using the "Mark for Comparsion"-Contextmenu), if not, either merge or just copy file contents from trunk to Trunk
If you are sure everything in trunk is also showing up on Trunk:

*

*switch all working copies from trunk to Trunk

*delete trunk


A few weeks ago I found myself on the Gulf Coast, in my Mustang with the top down and not a worry in the world. A few miles from the beach at Weeki Wachee there's a little shack of a restaurant with outdoor seating serving up beers and tacos. There's a painted up car with surfboards that serves as the sign and a fire rages in a pit a few yards from the umbrella tables. It's everything you've imagined from the Sunshine State, and after a long day of swimming with the Manatees and the Mermaid's of Weeki Wachee it was heaven.
I ordered up their buffalo and blue cheese tacos that were so good, I came home and made them. They're super simple too. Chicken, buffalo sauce and some blue cheese crumbles. Add some salad in a tortilla, grab a Corona and sit back and relax. They're super delish, quite healthy and satisfy those of us who want it all.
If you find yourself just north of Tampa, drop in at Beck Jack's... you won't regret it.
Season chicken with equal amounts of onion and garlic powder, cayenne, salt and pepper.
Bake (375F), fry or grill your chicken breasts and cut into chunks (or cut first and ask questions later).
Top tortilla with chicken, cheese and salad.


'Mr. Bennett and Mrs. Brown' is an important exploration of modernism by Virginia Woolf. This edition of the essay was published on 30 October 1924 by the Hogarth Press. It is the first number within the first Hogarth Essays series, which ran from 1924 to 1926.
'Mr. Bennett and Mrs. Brown' was originally published as 'Character in Fiction' in the July 1924 issue of The Criterion, a journal edited by T S Eliot.
Towards the start of the essay Woolf writes about the arrival of modernism, making the now-famous observation: 'On or about December 1910 human character changed'. (This date refers to the seminal exhibition Manet and the Post-Impressionists, organised by Roger Fry.) This change in human character caused a domino-effect: 'All human relations have shifted – those between masters and servants, husbands and wives, parents and children. And when human relations change there is at the same time a change in religion, conduct, politics, and literature'.
Modernity, as defined by Woolf, is a society and culture in flux. With references to breaking, 'smashing and crashing', and chaotic noise, Woolf presents modernity as fragmentary and unstable. These observations are crucial to Woolf's main argument.
What is 'Mr. Bennett and Mrs. Brown' about?
In 'Mr. Bennett and Mrs. Brown' Woolf analyses the state of modern fiction by contrasting two generations of writers.
Mr. Bennett says that it is only if the characters are real that the novel has any chance of surviving. Otherwise, die it must. But, I ask myself, what is reality? And who are the judges of reality?
Woolf recognises that 'the tools of one generation are useless to the next'. New forms must be explored if writers are to capture the rapidly changing modern world. She explains that the Georgian writer has turned to an impressionistic, fragmented technique that more accurately reflects modern existence. The Georgians may have not yet mastered their art, Woolf admits, but they nevertheless strive towards 'telling the truth'.
Woolf's discussion revolves around an anonymous woman she has observed on a train carriage journeying through London, whom she names 'Mrs Brown'. She examines the various literary methods that could be employed to capture Mrs Brown's character and the world she inhabits.
Vanessa Bell designed the cover art, and this was used for each title within the first Hogarth Essays series. It depicts a woman reading from an open book. Modernity is reflected in Bell's graphic lines and in the woman's style: she appears to have short, cropped hair, as fashionable in the 1920s, and wears a low, sleeveless outfit.

Katherine Mansfield was a pioneer of the modern short story. Here Stephanie Forward provides close readings of three short stories from Mansfield's celebrated 1922 collection, The Garden Party and Other Stories.
Elaine Showalter describes how, in Mrs Dalloway, Virginia Woolf uses stream of consciousness to enter the minds of her characters and portray cultural and individual change in the period following the First World War.
Focussing on Virginia Woolf's representation of time, consciousness and the rupture caused by World War One, Professor Kate Flint reveals how To the Lighthouse is a carefully structured, psychologically complex novel that ultimately asks the reader to reflect on their own ever-changing experience of being in the world.


On July 21, 2010, President Obama signed into law the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (the "Act"). The primary objective of the Act is reform of the financial services industry, including comprehensive regulation regarding credit rating agencies, asset securitizations, and municipal securities. Despite this primary focus, the Act will greatly impact nearly all U.S. public companies, many private fund managers and innumerable private offerings. The Act also provides new enforcement and management powers and mandates for the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") and numerous other agencies. In all, the Act will require significant action by 11 different federal agencies.

Remembering Donald Trump's cringe-worthy 1994 interview with Robin Leach
Gina Salamone
Robin Leach may be gone, but President Trump's cringe-worthy 1994 interview with the British entertainment journalist lives on.
The video — which shows The Donald referencing his one-year-old daughter Tiffany's breasts while appearing with then-wife Marla Maples — came back to haunt him in April of 2016 when he was the Republican presidential frontrunner.
"The Daily Show" featured the old episodes of Leach's "Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous," reminded viewers of Trump's creepy comments.
In the clip, Leach is heard asking Trump what features Tiffany has from each of her parents. His shocking response seemed to sexualize his infant daughter.
"Well, I think that she's got a lot of Marla," Trump said."She's a really beautiful baby, and she's got Marla's legs."
Then, gesturing to his chest, he said, "We don't know whether she's got this part yet, but time will tell."
Leach defended his interview subject against critics when the video resurfaced in 2016. "I think it's an overreaction to be really honest, and I think that it's just the piling on of those that dislike Donald," Leach told Inside Edition. "You've triggered a thought that I should send him a note saying, 'Sorry I asked the question 22 years ago. How ridiculous they dig it up now.'"
Trump's interview on "Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous" was far from the only time he was linked to Leach, who died Thursday at age 76.
His extravagant, showy lifestyle was also featured on Leach's ABC show "Fame, Fortune and Romance," which did a segment on Mar-A-Lago, Trump's resort in Palm Beach, Florida.

It's a good day to find a new social group to join. Have you thought about becoming a member of a club or organization?
Pisces that are single might meet a new love interest in an athletic or cultural environment. A temporary love affair could boost your self-esteem and sense of empowerment. This will be especially beneficial for those young Pisceans that are shy by nature like many born under this sign.
Natives of this sign that are in a long-term relationship will have to control their jealousy since this could cause problems and arguments if you end up reading a message that's not important at all.
Sneaking around looking at messages on others' phones isn't cool. Would you want someone to do this to you?
You're about to get good news. If you presented a job or project proposal, it will be approved by your superiors, and you'll be able to get started: Congrats!
Natives of Pisces will defend their job tooth and nail as long as their feelings aren't hurt by those who should recognize or reward all of their efforts. Today you'll be able to show your faithfulness to those you work with. Don't hold back if you don't see immediate results.
Everything comes in due time, and by the end of this week, you'll receive your prize.
Your lucky number for today is 909.
To avoid foot pain, start the day with comfortable shoes since you'll have to walk and stand up for many hours.
You feel good and relaxed even when you're the target of pessimistic and envious people. Close off your energetic field using your mind's protective power. Put your energetic power to use creating a silver sphere of light around your aura to protect you from this negative influence.
Magnetize your sign's energy by wearing pearl gray or light blue colored clothing.

Q: Проблема с кодом формы для опросов discord.py Вот недавно решил сделать код с формой для опросов.
Взял у местного программиста на гитхабе, но он не работает.
Как утверждал автор для работы этого кода нужно иметь особую роль (из дискорд сервера, где бот с таким же кодом почти) и прописать команду s.pull, смотря на тот сервер, где сам бот так настроен.

During the cold winter months I like to drink a wide variety of coffee, tea or hot cocoa beverages to help take off the chill. These type of beverages warm me up and satisfy hot beverage cravings. When I drink hot teas...I've got to have my tea flavored with raspberry, peach or blueberry.
Today's recipe is courtesy of the great folks over at KRUPS. Visit the company's site to learn more about them and to get additional easy-to-prepare recipes.
I enjoy flavored hot teas sometimes at breakfast with a hot bagel or in the evening after dinner when I want to sit and relax. If you like iced teas, you can still brew this tea and then just pour it over a tall glass of ice! Enjoy!
I drink tea all,day and I especially enjoy infusing my tea with different flavors. theBerry flavor is one of my favorites, so both versions of the recipe given here are perfect for me.

Greenpeace is 50 years old: A worldwide movement for ecosystems
Posted on 30th September 2021 1st October 2021
A review of the work of Greenpeace by Sally Campbell. All photo credits Greenpeace.
When governments and companies threaten the natural world – Greenpeace supporters are there to confront them, and have been for 50 years. Greenpeace in September celebrated 50 years of striving to protect the planet and its many types of ecosystems often by harm due to us, the now dominant powerful species in the world's ecosystems, whether in the oceans, on land or in the air.
Reflecting on these 50 years: Over the past five decades, Greenpeace has grown from a handful of people setting sail to stop a nuclear test to the present day, an unstoppable worldwide movement of millions. The name came from the first time the words "green peace" were said together in Vancouver in 1970 (after the decision was made to confront US nuclear weapons testing), together Greenpeace have confronted countless governments and corporations. An apt description is an ecology movement. One of Greenpeace's founders talks about what gives him hope, and what he has learned from 50 years of campaigning. "As we commemorate, and celebrate, 50 years since the Greenpeace set sail, we are painfully aware of the gathering storm wrought so often by inequity, greed and corruption, of accelerating habitat destruction and the deepening climate emergency. We look to the past for learnings on how to face the future. We celebrate the passion and commitment of all who make Greenpeace possible."
The string of victories stretch across the planet from North to South and as far back as the founding campaigns. Together, the Antarctic was kept safe from mining, a global ban on nuclear testing was achieved and we stopped commercial whaling. Greenpeace protected the ozone layer with Greenfreeze technology, and is now protecting areas of the Amazon with the Soy Moratorium and vitally, kept multinational oil companies out of the Arctic. There is much more to be done in this time of climate change, the "entitlement" culture of multinationals and individuals to do "what they want," regardless of cost to our natural ecosystems. We each have a responsibility to consider our own carbon footprint, our consumerist tendencies, our communities.
Greenpeace's vision is of a greener, healthier and more peaceful planet – one that can sustain life for generations to come. It is powered not by governments but by individual donations, dedicated volunteers and millions of supporters; the campaigns combine cutting-edge science, investigative journalism, political lobbying, mass mobilisation and creative peaceful protests. And the iconic Greenpeace ships allow Greenpeace to protect the most remote and precious environments on Earth. Some of these successes are listed below– nearly always won in alliance with grassroots groups and other organisations, and show a glimpse of what has been possible.
1972: US abandons nuclear testing grounds at Amchitka Island, Alaska
In 1971, a small group of activists set sail to Amchitka island off Alaska in an old fishing boat called The Greenpeace. Their mission: to stop a US nuclear weapons test. Although the voyage was racked with personal conflict, and failed to stop the test itself, it sparked a storm of publicity that ultimately turned the tide. Five months after the group's mission, the US stopped the entire Amchitka nuclear test programme. The island was later declared a bird sanctuary.
1974: France ends Pacific nuclear testing
In the 1970s and 80s, Greenpeace campaigned for a ban on nuclear testing. In 1974, Canadian activist David McTaggart took the French government to court. He won: In 1974 France announced that they would end their atmospheric nuclear testing program. This was just the beginning of a long, long campaign so finally in 1996…
1996: A global ban on nuclear testing
After decades of campaigning by Greenpeace and other groups, a global nuclear weapons testing ban was finally passed in 1996. From 1994–96, the world's nations came together to negotiate the Comprehensive Nuclear Test Ban Treaty, which prohibits all nuclear test explosions.
1978: Confronting seal slaughter in Scotland
Through the 1960s and 1970s, the government permitted mass killing of seals around the Orkneys and Western Isles because they 'interfered' with commercial fishing". But in 1978, Greenpeace intervened. The Greenpeace ship Rainbow Warrior trailed the seal hunters' vessel for two weeks, preventing the start of the cull and sparking a public outcry against the killing. Eventually, the planned cull was massively reduced, and in 2020, shooting seals was completely banned in Scotland.
1982: Commercial whaling banned worldwide
Whaling for meat, oil, or whalebone devastated the world's biggest whale species in the first half of the 20th century, pushing some of them to the very brink of extinction. Greenpeace's early whaling campaign showed the public images of whales being killed, which sparked a popular movement against whaling. After over a decade of committed campaigning, the 'Save the Whales' movement triumphed in 1982, when the International Whaling Commission voted to ban commercial whaling.
1991: Antarctic Treaty protects the continent from mining
In 1958 the Antarctic Treaty was signed by eighteen countries with an interest in the continent, protecting it for 30 years. But by the early 1980s the threat of commercial exploitation loomed large. There was oil under the ice and the Antarctic Treaty Nations were disputing a proposal from New Zealand that the continent should be designated a protected World Park. Greenpeace set up a base in Antarctica and campaigned for seven years against Antarctic mining and oil exploration.
The Antarctic Treaty Nations were eventually persuaded. In 1991, they agreed to adopt new environmental rules, including a minimum 50-year ban on mineral exploitation.
1998: Ban on dumping in the North Sea and beyond
The historic OSPAR (Convention for the Protection of the Marine Environment of the North-East Atlantic. Named OSPAR after Conventions in OSlo and PARis) makes it illegal to dump toxic waste, scrapped oil rigs and other industrial equipment at sea in the north-east Atlantic. Greenpeace's anti-dumping campaign mixed high-level political pressure with dramatic direct action, including the occupation of Shell's notorious Brent Spar platform. Brent Spar was eventually towed to a breakers yard and recycled.
2004: Working with the Deni to protect their Amazon homeland
The Deni are an Indigenous group living in a very remote part of the Brazilian Amazon, whose land was illegally sold to a logging company without their knowledge. After waiting for more than 10 years for the government to recognise their traditional territory, the Deni asked Greenpeace to help. We sent a team to live with the Deni and train them to use GPS and other instruments to formally record the boundaries of their lands. This spurred the government into action, and soon afterwards, Brazil's president officially recognised the Deni as owners and stewards of over 1.6 million hectares of Amazon forest.
2006: Great Bear Rainforest protected from logging
After a ten-year campaign alongside First Nations groups, Greenpeace secured protection for over two million hectares of Canada's stunning Great Bear Rainforest. Seen as one of the greatest environmental victories in Canadian history, the campaign saw activists arrested, sued and beaten as they resisted the logging interests that threatened the forest, and piled pressure on the British Columbia government to act.
2015: Shell drops plans for Arctic drilling
In October 2015, Shell announced that it was giving up plans to drill for oil in the Alaskan Arctic. This followed years of Greenpeace protests all across the world, building a movement of millions of people that Shell couldn't ignore. Shell blamed the decision on low oil prices and high costs, but the company also admitted that the protests had a bigger impact than they expected, and damaged Shell's reputation.
2018: Plastic microbeads banned in the UK
After two years of campaigning from Greenpeace and many others, the UK government banned plastic microbeads in January 2018. Products like toothpastes, shower gels and facial scrubs with plastic microbeads can no longer be sold in the UK. This was an important first step to protect ocean life, and to stop plastic getting into the food chain.
2020: Denmark ends North Sea oil drilling
The Danish Parliament announced that it will not allow any new oil drilling in the Danish sector of the North Sea, and will end existing production by 2050. They also allocated money to help impacted workers make the transition into greener industries. As a major oil producing country in the EU, Denmark's announcement is major step towards phasing out fossil fuels.
2021: Why Greenpeace left half a tonne of plastic on Boris Johnson's doorstep
Huge exports. The UK exported 688,000 tons of plastic in 2020. That's 625kg every 30 seconds. Activists left 625 kilos of plastic waste outside Downing Street – the same amount that the UK is sending overseas every 30 seconds.
September 2021: Greenpeace is uniting with local fishermen to bring an emergency message right to the government's doorstep. "No fish, no future" – supporting sustainable, small-scale fishermen who sailed up the Thames with a fleet of fishing boats. Immediate and urgent action is required to protect UK inshore waters along the South and East Coast from huge trawlers and nets.
That initial fusing of peace and ecology – Greenpeace – had a persuasive effect, growing to encompass countless campaigns for a safer, fairer, future. Greenpeace organisations can now be found in 57 countries, and counting, with thousands of staff, tens of thousands of volunteers and many tens of millions of supporters.
All are bound by a common mission and values to ensure the ability of the earth to nurture life in all its diversity. "We take personal responsibility and act peacefully. We are independent of those we seek to change, taking no money from governments or corporations. We seek to promote solutions to the problems we oppose and expose".
Happy Birthday Greenpeace. You have conducted some adventurous, amazing, occasionally foolhardy, creative, ground breaking expeditions and lots of technical scientific research under difficult conditions, backed up by your excellent labs in Exeter. Results over these 50 years have been law changing, supportive of indigenous communities in their fights with big business interests and above all, enhancing ecosystem survival be that on land, in the sea, and in the air, all around this planet. Your reports, and media presence continue in educating us all. Thank you!
"It is amazing, what a few people sitting around their kitchen table can achieve."
– Dorothy Stowe, Greenpeace founding member

Spanish showdown
By George Weigel
In the fall of 2007, I spent a week in Spain, giving lectures, meeting with Spanish Catholic leaders, and making a hair-raising climb up several hundred scaffolding stairs to the top of Antoni Gaudi's Basilica of the Sagrada Familia in Barcelona—preceded by Cardinal Stanislaw Dziwisz, John Paul II's longtime secretary, who was doing the trip in a cassock (after confessing to me, sotto voce, that he wasn't too fond of heights)! Over the course of numerous conversations in those days, it became clear that the government of Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero, in power since April 2004, was not simply secular in character but aggressively secularist.
Textbooks were being re-written to enforce the government's leftist view of modern Spanish history; students aiming for admission to prestigious universities would be required to give the "correct" answers about such traumas as the Spanish civil war in order to pass their entrance exams. Street names were being changed to eradicate the memory of the politically disfavored from Spain's past. Marriage had been legislatively redefined so that any two people, of whatever gender, could be civilly "married." (Shortly after I left the country, another law enabled a Spaniard to enter a civil registry office and "change" his or her sex simply by making a declaration to a government bureaucrat that she was now he, or vice versa. Some things are so absurd that they compel ridicule, and this one prompted me to a knockoff from "My Fair Lady": "The dame in Spain is mainly in the name.")
In interviews with the Spanish press, I suggested that the 20th century had a name for a political program that tried to re-manufacture human nature while re-writing history: the name was "Stalinism," which used to be considered a hateful thing. Zapatero's Spain was not, of course, Stalin's Soviet Union in the latter's most brutal manifestations. Nor was the current Spanish government as crudely malevolent as the Spanish Stalinists of the late 1930s who, during the Spanish Civil War, murdered tens of thousands of priests and religious, often sadistically. The Zapatero government, I suggested, was far more clever. It would impose a hard-left agenda on Spain through legislation, step by step, rather like the frog being slowly boiled in a pot of water who doesn't realize that death is at hand until it's too late.
Recent events in Spain have done nothing to persuade me that these judgments were excessively harsh.
Pope Benedict XVI visited Spain last November, gave two spectacular homilies at Santiago de Compostela (on the Christian roots of Europe) and at the Sagrada Familia in Barcelona (on beauty as a pathway to God). Prime Minister Zapatero did not attend either event and spent the three days after the pope's departure denouncing Benedict XVI while campaigning in Catalonia.
In March, dozens of secularist student gangsters, armed with a megaphone and defamatory posters, crashed into the chapel of Madrid's Complutense University while Catholic students were at prayer. The radicals shouted deprecations of the Church, Pope Benedict, and the Catholic clergy; several of their number, women, stood on the altar and undressed from the waste up; two of the striptease artists boasted of their lesbianism. This obscene spectacle in the Spanish capital came shortly after several Spanish churches throughout the country had been trashed.
All of which suggests that Spain is now Ground Zero in the European contest between Catholicism and the dictatorship of relativism. And the latter is precisely what the secularist radicals of Spain are up to: imposing their concept of freedom-as-license through coercive state power and intimidation-through-violence. Bizarre legislation that rewrites history and redefines human nature is the first half of the equation; gang violence is its new and ominous complement. A different kind of war has been declared on the Church.
It hardly seems accidental that these attacks against Catholic facilities have come in the months before World Youth Day 2011, which will be held in Madrid from Aug. 16 through Aug. 21. The gauntlet has been thrown down. A tremendous turnout at Madrid in five months will demonstrate that the challenge has been accepted.

Homeless prevention services
Go Back to Our Services
As long as it will be safe for the young person, our aim where possible is always to prevent youth homelessness from happening in the first place.
There are usually several factors that combine to cause a crisis situation for a young person that results in homelessness, we therefore provide support in several different ways to intervene early enough to prevent a crisis occurring.
Where possible, St Basils aims to prevent young people from becoming homeless in the first place. We offer prevention services at all the locations we work in across the West Midlands region, which include one or more of the following:
Face to face Advice services
Our Youth Hubs in Birmingham and Solihull are both multi-agency services delivered in partnership with respectively Birmingham City Council and Solihull Town District Council's Homeless Services and Children's Services. This means young people are able to access specialist help and advice from a variety of local providers all in one place.
The Youth Hubs offer a variety of different services including assistance in preventing homelessness, advice and help applying for housing options, benefits advice, help maintaining tenancies, and much more.
The Youth Hub will assess a young person's needs and where needed refer them to the most appropriate local providers. Accommodation and support provided could be from St Basils or another local provider, or a combination, with several agencies working in partnership to assist a young person.
In the other locations in which we operate face to face advice and assessment is provided by other agencies or the local council. St Basils is then one of the organisations young people are referred onto for support.
St Basils believes that, if safe, the family home is the best place for a young person to stay. It is one of the options staff review with young people and in some areas they may be referred to Family Mediation Services to help ensure this remains a viable option. It is not about taking sides but improving communication channels between family members.
We also periodically offer other kinds of support to parents of young people through our projects that focus on Psychological Approaches.
Floating Support
This service also called 'Support at Home' helps prevent youth homelessness by providing support to young people who have been identified as at risk of homelessness, in their current accommodation.
Floating Support offers one to one support to help a young person identify and reach their goals. We offer an approach tailored to the needs of the young person. This can include support with;
Finances, i.e accessing the right benefits
Obtaining work, i.e applying for jobs, writing a CV
Household skills, i.e shopping on a budget, meal planning and preparation
Health and hygiene, i.e registering with a GP
Social skills, i.e accessing support groups
Accessing these services
If you need any of these services please see the Get Help section for contact details for your area.

Interview with Ted Heap
October 11, 2020 by Greg Degeyter
Ted Heap was kind enough to agree to be interviewed regarding his race for reelection as Constable for Precinct Five. He was initially elected in 2016, and is one of the rare Republicans up for reelection. The success he has had in his first term supports his reelection. While the interview cannot cover all aspects of his term in office he presented as exceptionally intelligent and well versed in policy and how his office can best serve the public. He also came across as humble and having a servant's heart noting at one point that the position is one of service and that a good law enforcement officer is a true public servant. This interview focused on what the role of the Constable's office is, and how the office has been able to successfully serve the public.
Precinct 5 is an unusual precinct in that it is extremely populated, and is a near even mix of city and county areas. Although the county is broken up into 8 different Constable areas precinct five has a whopping 1.2 million people in the precinct. This is in a county where the population estimated at 4.7 million by the Census Bureau, meaning this office handles approximately 25% of the county population. Despite this, the average response time for a non-emergency call to the Constable's office is 3 minutes 30 seconds, and the average response time for an emergency call is 2 minutes 50 seconds.
The constables are the primary agency to serve process in litigation, and to execute writs. He noted the Constable's office was originally legislatively enacted in the 1800s to, "keep the peace and squelch riots." In modern times the city is the primary law enforcement responsibility within their jurisdiction, and the Sherriff's office is the primary responsibility in unincorporated areas leaving the Constable's office as a supporting law enforcement agency, and they respond to approximately a quarter million service calls in the City of Houston and an additional quarter million service calls in unincorporated Harris County each year.
The Constable's office is a legislative creation, but as with all county agency's is at the whims of Commissioner's Court for their budget. When the Commissioner's Court allocates the budgeted amount, the Constable is free to use it at their discretion. This obviously is an area of concern with Commissioner Adrian Garcia proposing to eliminate the Constable contract program. Heap noted that the contract for the Constable program is the exact same, to the penny, as the Harris County Sherriff's Office contract program, and the same contracts are entered into with the County Attorney office. Eliminating the program would only serve to decrease the law enforcement services available since the Sherriff's office has primary law enforcement responsibility in the unincorporated areas of the county and the Constable's office serves in a secondary roll and therefore has a greater ability and neighborhood connection already established.
Cooperation with other law enforcement agencies is important to Constable Heap. His office reports statistics to both the city and the county, and he noted cooperation is high and they can access city information and exchange intelligence with Houston Police Department. He also indicated this level of cooperation and technology sharing is new, having only started 3-4 years ago, and that more progress needs to be made in this area.
Constable Heap has made community relations a priority with his office. He stated, "We don't answer a call and say show me your voter registration card. We help everyone without consideration of their background and status." To further this goal, he has created a community outreach division, citizens police academy, teen police academy in Spring Branch and Katy ISD, and created a Hispanic, African American, Muslim, and Asian community liaison. He also expressed support for Councilman Edward Pollard's creation of the District J patrol noting that it fills in a gap in enforcement of city ordinances since his office does not have authority to enforce the ordinances.
He believes that crime deterrence takes many things, but education, relationships, visibility, and quick response times are important. The quick response times noted above allow the officer to secure a scene and preserve evidence and catch more suspects. To increase visibility, he has all his investigators conduct investigations in uniform and in marked patrol cars. His office will investigate property crime the city and county agencies do not or cannot investigate, and he has instructed his investigators to follow up with the victim on every case to see if they have more evidence or information than what was originally discovered. Access and cooperation are important also. He added a victim's assistance office to the west side of Houston to make the office more accessible to other areas of the precinct. He is working with the Mexican Consulate regarding their plans to move into Precinct Five.
All his efforts are having success. His office just busted a three-year long theft ring where individuals were walking into Home Depot stores filling shopping carts, and walking out without payment. In the bust they were able to recover $140,000 worth of merchandise and an additional $40,000 in cash. This isn't just a single example, when I told him of stores in Sharpstown where similar activity was occurring, he gave me the name of a specific person in his office to contact and asked me to pass on the information to the stores.
Although it doesn't precisely fit in anywhere else in the article it's noteworthy that his precinct has no fleet debt.
Constable Heap has very quietly made remarkable strides for Precinct 5. Whether it's community relationship efforts, involvement with high risk students, breaking down technology sharing barriers with other law enforcement agencies, or the quick response times leading to criminal apprehension he has made remarkable strides for the precinct in his first term in office. We are all better off for his dedication, and based on the merits of his performance he deserves another term in office. He has the following endorsements that are important for law enforcement related races:
Houston Police Officers Union (HPOU)
Harris County Deputies Organization
Harris County Deputy Constables Association
National Constables and Marshals Association
Organization of Spanish Speaking Officers (OSSO)
Mexican American Sheriff's Organization (MASO)
