President Trump's budget guidance sought to cut $1.6 billion from the Environmental Protection Agency's $8.1 billion expectation. Shrieks of looming Armageddon prompted Congress to fund the EPA in full until September 2017, when the battle will be joined again.
1. EPA advocates claim the U.S. is unhealthy and dirty. They won't admit that U.S. water quality has improved dramatically since 1970. They deny that factories, cars, and power plants are far more efficient and clean. They ignore that, while most nations continue to cut down forest habitats for fuel, the Lower 48 states have more forest coverage than when the Pilgrims landed in 1620.
They never mention that the U.S. did not sign the 1992 Kyoto Accord, nor that it is the only nation to meet its Kyoto targets. Is it ignorance? Malignance? Eco-professional propaganda? Yes, yes, and yes.
The United States is one of the cleanest, healthiest nations on earth. Our progress will continue because we rejected the Paris Accord and thus will not cripple our economy, jobs, or environmental progress. Other nations must work hard to catch us. They may work hard, but they won't catch up, and they'll blame us.
However, CO2 is a plant fertilizer, the trace gas that makes plant and animal life possible on our planet. Atmospheric CO2 is just 400 parts per million (ppm), or 0.04% of the air we breathe, compared to 21% oxygen and almost 1% argon. Classrooms average 1,000 to 2,000 ppm; U.S. nuclear submarines average 5,000 to 8,000 ppm. We inhale 400 ppm and exhale 40,000 to 50,000 ppm.
That means 100 to 125 times the "fatal dose" of a "zero tolerance pollutant" is always in our lungs. We don't die, because CO2 is not a pollutant and because real scientists know that dosage, not microscopic presence, is the key.
The EPA keeps cheating, but dosage always determines poisonous impact. In fact, EPA experiments illegally exposed human test subjects to 10 and even 30 times the levels of fine soot particles that the EPA claims are lethal. No one got sick or died, and yet the EPA continues its "standards" and lies.
3. DDT saved millions in World War II from death by typhus. By 1970 DDT had helped wipe out malaria in 99 countries, including the U.S. Administrator Ruckelshaus appointed a scientific committee to examine claims that the pesticide caused cancer and other problems. The experts said it did not, because dosage determines effect.
4. The EPA knowingly relies on fake science. Data from point-source "pollution" are used to "project" thousands of asthma cases and cancer deaths. The EPA "validates" the analyses by "assuming" that each projected death and illness happened to someone who had spent every second of a 70-year life at the point-source – within 6 feet of the measurement point. But Newton's Law of Inverse Squares proves that dosage wanes by the inverse square of the distance; 5 units of distance cuts dosage impact to 1/25 what it was at its source. At 10 units, the impact is 1/100th. Their analysis is a dishonest, purposeful scam.
The 70-year/6-foot/no-movement assumption makes a joke of all its calculations and projections. The EPA has relied on that scam for decades to "prove" need for a non-scientific regulatory remedy for every newly invented threat.
5. The EPA colludes with professional environmentalists to "fix" "inadequate" draft regulations. They then "settle" cases, pay co-conspirators' fees with taxpayer funds, and win excessive regulatory powers they sought from the beginning. Parties who oppose the decision never get a day in court, and the "sue-and-settle" cases ensure high costs but provide no health or environmental benefits.
6. The EPA covers up crimes. Since the auto industry cratered since 2000, Flint, Michigan, has lost 25,000 citizens and become poorer and more minority. The 2010 Census Report concluded that 42% of the population was in a "level of poverty and health … not comparable to other geographic levels of these estimates." Yet the EPA (and state and local authorities) did nothing to protect them. What happened?
The 1974 Safe Drinking Water Act delegated compliance to the EPA, which typically approves a State Compliance Plan, re-delegates authority, and oversees State and local enforcement. Flint's drinking water has been lead-poisoned for 3 years – ever since state and local officials switched water sources to save money with no hearings, approvals, or notifications to the EPA or affected citizens.
Then-EPA Administrator Gina McCarthy forbade the staff expert from meeting, writing, or speaking about the issue, and reassigned the expert. Thus the two most senior and directly responsible EPA officials "washed their hands" of the problem.
But Flint Medical Center tested for lead in the water and sounded the alarm. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention added powerful voices. Flint's mayor and Michigan's governor took heat until the state's attorney general initially charged five Flint and Michigan officials with wrongful issuance of permits, and tampering, altering, and falsifying evidence. That has now expanded to more than 50 criminal charges against 15 state officials, including one of involuntary manslaughter (an outbreak of Legionnaires' disease took 12 lives).
The two "clean-handed" EPA officials kept mum until June 12, 2016, when McCarthy wrote to Michigan's governor and Flint's mayor. Citing "major challenges" and her "long-term" clean water goal, she blamed state and local staffs and old and (newly) over-large piping. She said the EPA had no money to help. Will Michigan's attorney general indict the EPA officials involved in these cover-ups? That would be logical, but don't bet on it.
McCarthy's was a nasty letter from a culpable official. Later in 2016, Congress voted $110 million to repair Flint's drinking water, no thanks to the EPA. The work will go on for years as Flint residents get bottled water from the EPA and the state.
President Trump's budget guidance exposed decades-old EPA abuses. The evidence exposes the EPA's lack of mission, commitment, and integrity. If the EPA would use honest, evidence-based science to protect the nation's health, it would be a welcome and long overdue change – perhaps a miracle. What's your bet?

Q: issue with FILE I'm getting the folowing error for below code,
"1506-221 (S) Initializer must be a valid constant expression"
FILE          *fp[] = {stdout, dump_f};

is this acceptable? what is the proper way to achive this?

A: The error suggests that on your system the stdout variable is in fact a #defined macro which expands to a function call.
Actually, as others have suggested, it's probably just that stdout is an extern declared variable whose value is not known at compile time and therefore can't be supplied in a static initializer.
Regardless of which, the solution should be the same - I'd try something like:
FILE *fp[2];

void init_fp()
{
    fp[0] = stdout;
    fp[1] = dump_f;
}

A: If that is a global, then C does not support initializing it with a function call. If stdout is a macro (as suggested initially) for a function call, then you won't be able to use it to initialize a global.

A: More than likely, stdout and/or dump_f are macros or (more likely the problem) external globals.
If I have this code:
// external.c
int hello = 1234;

// external.h
extern int hello;

// main.c
#include "external.h"

int world = hello; // error!

You would receive an error at the indicated line because the value of hello is not known.
stdout and dump_f are most likely declared as extern globals, like so:
extern FILE *stdout, *stdin, *stderr, *dump_f;

A: Classically, most Unix systems used to define stdout as something like (&_iob[1]), which reduced to a valid constant expression; Solaris, for instance, still does.
A few years ago, now, the GNU C Library changed its definition of stdout to something that was not a constant, so old code which used to initialize FILE * variables to any of the standard file pointers ceased to compile.  This is sanctioned by the C standard, so there is no virtue in complaining.  You simply have to accept that you cannot initialize static file pointers to one of the standard I/O channels and recode to get around the problem.  (But it is still a nuisance.)

Belize Hosts CARICOM Intersessional Meeting of the Conference of Heads of Government
From Tuesday, February 16th to Wednesday, February 17th, Belize hosted the 27th annual Intersessional Meeting of Caribbean Community (CARICOM) Heads. The event saw the participation of representatives from all 15 member states, with the Prime Minister of Belize, Honorable Dean Barrow heading the meeting as the acting Chairman of CARICOM. The two-day meeting aimed at discussing issues within the region and developing possible solutions, was held at the Placencia Peninsula in the Stann Creek District. Among key issues discussed were regional health, security and economic threats.
Prime Minister Barrow During Opening Cermonies
Opening the forum on Tuesday was Barrow, who delivered the official welcoming remarks, setting the tone for the meeting. "There has been a failure of the world economy to recover properly from the shock of the financial crisis that began in the last part of the first decade of this new century. That failure, for the majority of us in CARICOM, has meant slow growth, increasing difficulties with our public finances, and tremendous strains on our capacity to satisfy the life-improvement aspirations of our people. And it is worth noting that even in the few countries that have shown substantial enough expansion, much of the net effect has been depreciated by population increases. On the bright side, though, there appears to be what we hope will be a sustained resurgence in our region's all-important tourism industry. This would be a welcome offset to the continued volatility in our commodities sector," said Barrow.
He went on to speak of many issues the country of Belize is facing, including the reduced PetroCaribe funds due to declining oil prices and the loss of correspondence with USA banks. "The oil conundrum has severely constrained the flow of resources to those of us that participate in the PetroCaribe arrangements. This is, of course, in consequence of the havoc done to Venezuela, the source of our erstwhile bounty. To compound matters, it is clear that the oil price phenomenon is symptomatic of the more generalized weakening, to which I earlier alluded, in commodities markets. This worsens the crisis situation in public finances in certain parts of the Eurozone, so that altogether there appears to be a distinct possibility of the world economy sliding back into recession. The consequences that would entail for our region are both obvious and frightening. And when we move from the general to the particular regarding global economic and financial currents, there is one already extant development with absolutely cataclysmic ramifications for us. I am talking, of course, about the phenomenon of so-called de-risking. Under pressure from their regulatory authorities in Europe, and especially the US, banks in those jurisdictions have been closing their correspondent relationships with our indigenous financial institutions. This deprives our banks of the ability to keep US deposits, do wire transfers and facilitate credit card settlements for their local clients and our economy. The implications of this for our international trade, for our remittances, for our structures of production, consumption and investment, are so obvious as to require little further elaboration. It is therefore no hyperbole to say that, especially in an environment where the value of our imports and exports taken together equals or exceeds our GDP, any attenuation, not to say complete cutoff, respecting our trade and remittance flows, constitutes a clear, present and compendious danger," explained Barrow. He ended by asking all CARICOM leaders to unite in the effort to reestablish economic stability in the region.
Also addressing on the first day was former CARICOM Chairmen, Prime Minister of Barbados, Right Honorable, Freundel J. Stuart. "I am especially pleased to be here on my first visit to Belize, and to be able to savor the charming manner and warm hospitality of the government and people of this great country, often described as the potential bread basket of the Caribbean… I have frequently stated my deep conviction that our decision-making must be orderly and rigorous. Only in this way can we deliver to our peoples the regional public goods they expect as the fruits of our deliberations. In this context, I was especially satisfied that at our last meeting we adopted some clear rules about how the Conference takes and implements its decisions," said Stuart who also called for unity with in members. "I should like to highlight another one of the essential principles that must permeate what we think, what we say, and what we do as a region. I speak of the need for an unshakeable commitment to unity in the face of adversity. This year, 2016, is an important year for all our countries, as we propose to implement some of the more important initiatives to which we committed ourselves in 2015, and to further those begun in previous years… In order for CARICOM to fulfill its immense promise, first, we should look at the strengths of our movement and seek to retain them at all costs; second, we must look backward at important elements that we have lost in the regional integration movement and seek to reclaim them; third, we must look inward at our movement to carefully identify those aspects that hinder us, which we can discard, and should do so with some urgency. We must then look forward to see what new or different measures we need urgently to adopt to ensure that our movement remains both vibrant and relevant in this 21st century, but more importantly, that it remains a sustainable project that continues to meet the needs of the people of the Caribbean."
As the meeting progressed, Barrow made emphasis on the threats to the region's banking sector. He indicated that the USA de-risking could have "cataclysmic ramifications" for the Caribbean, and a "relentless" campaign must be waged against it by all CARICOM members. The matter was a key agenda item of the two-day Summit. The threats discussed relate to the possible loss of access to the international financial markets by mainly the Regional indigenous banks, an issue that Belize has faced in the past year. One of the suggestions Barrow put forward for consideration, was for respective country banks to get together across jurisdictions and, as a bloc, approach target banks in the USA for pooled correspondent services. "Meantime our campaign, and I speak now of CARICOM, continues. And it cannot be other than relentless in the face of the possible correspondent banking Armageddon that we face. It is therefore a matter that looms extremely large on our Agenda over the next two days, and has already been the subject of a dedicated Finance Ministers meeting," said Barrow.
CARICOM Secretary-General, Ambassador Irwin LaRocque also addressed the correspondent banking relationship issue and referred to it as an immediate existential threat. "This situation threatens the financial and economic stability of our Region. It is having an impact on the ability of our people to receive their remittances and transfer their funds for trade and investment transactions. This state of affairs demands that we act collectively to address this issue with the relevant regulatory authorities and the international community," said LaRocque.
PM Barrow and Ambassador Irwin LaRocque
LaRocque also called for action against security, economic and health threats. "As we move to enshrine Security as the fourth pillar of integration in our Treaty, it is important that we demonstrate our resolve by formalising the regional legal framework and supporting institutional infrastructure that would help us fight the menace of crime and threats to our security," said LaRocque. Regarding the threat from Zika, LaRocque said the Caribbean Public Health Agency (CARPHA) has been at the forefront working with member states and other institutions in dealing with this challenge.
Climate Change was another key issue discussed. Stuart said the Community got major breakthroughs that it wanted from the COP 21 (Climate Conference) Agreement (an international agreement on climate change to keep global warming below 2°C) signed in Paris in 2015. "I am of the view that, the agreement, implemented with seriousness and determination by the international community, will allow us to address the multi-faceted challenges which climate change poses for our countries," Prime Minister Stuart said. Barrow went on to assure that the Task Force on Sustainable Development, led by the Honorable Dr. James Fletcher, and the team of negotiators and experts would continue their work to facilitate the implementation of the Agreement reached in Paris.
CARICOM Heads of State
At the closing of the meeting, CARICOM Secretary-General Ambassador Irwin LaRocque was re-appointed to a second term of office. "The Secretary-General's initial five year appointment was scheduled to end in August 2016, and Heads of Government decided to deal with the matter of his reappointment now because they felt the next meeting in July 2016 was too close to the August expiration date. I'm pleased to say that there was unanimous agreement for the SG's reappointment. I want to make clear that on a personal note, I am as convinced as anyone else, and perhaps more so, that the Secretary-General has done an exemplary job. His commitment to reform, the changes he has already made along the lines of obliging the Secretariat and the Community to become more productive, more efficacious, are well known, and he has done all this while remaining throughout, extremely even tempered and accessible. I am pleased to say what a tremendous job of work this Secretary-General has done," said Barrow.

Q: Geoserver layers access I need to change the layer visibility for users in my application. Layers are served by OL 3 by a wms/wfs request. The problem is that when I change the accessibility for users, banning someone to see layers, they still have access to them  as long as they don't log out or close the browser.

A: I found a temporary solution. I had to clean the cache for making  the update work immediately. I could not rebuild the whole application so, I created a small OWS like explained here, to clean the authentication  cache, I then added it to the WEB-INF/lib folder.
You should have any other solutions I would appreciate. Thanks

Q: How to notify iOS app running on multiple devices? I am creating an iOS app. The app has 2 type of users - Teacher and Students.
Teacher creates a multiple choice and push it to all students (Teacher and student have same app with different login). Students receive the question in a UIView they attempt any of the 4 options. Teachers can view the stats.
Any idea how to do this kind of app?
Thanks in advance!

A: You will need a server which will work with APNS.
The main idea is when teacher will create a choice, it is should be sent to the server, then server will create a notification which will be sent to Apple servers which will sent notifications to all subscribed (when user authorize app to receive push-notifications) apps.

How to Write a Strong Female Character
Blog Category: Blog
How do you create a strong female character?
Make sure you learn, give her three-dimensionality, understand that strong doesn't mean only strong; strong means real. Create someone who could exist, and understand her power is not in what you make her do, but in what you make her to be.

Thank you very much! you're perfectly right in your insight and I agree with the comment you made about superficial acceptance. Ironically "blanket acceptance" harms not only the people it claims to support, but it also undermines the seriousness of an issue, making it so that it's less likely to be perceived as relevant by people who are outside the spectrum. Tropes can help create a reliable story or character, but should be used in a way that is sarcastic, or ironic, or with a backdrop of a world so absurd that the trope in comparison brings to the audience a semblance of reality and reliability. Thank you for your comment and for reading!
You know I never thought of it that way, as a writer you have the impossible task of creating a living breathing person who's thoughts and experiences are fundamentally different from your own, and do so convincingly. While Lucio the person might scoff at someone who believes in ghosts, Lucio the author needs to understand the experience of being terrified of something which does not exist, and all the associated premises and implications that come along with that. I imagine that the exercise of writing a character can make someone a more compassionate person. One of my coworkers whom I've worked with for several years came out as trans. Like you I am cis-gendered so I will never understand the experience of gender dysphoria, but I am able to listen and observe. I got to witness all the awkward interactions of them being accidentally misgendered (by myself even). I got to witness the physical and emotional transformation that they went through, and all the months they spent absent from work whole doing so. I also had the privilege of realizing that even through all the changes and transformations, at the end of the day they were still the same human being that I had shared experiences with. One thing you see often on the internet is superficial acceptance of a disadvantaged class. I'm talking about the people who accept that horse is a gender and minorities can do no wrong. I believe this kind of superficial understanding ultimately does harm to the people it claims to support, and the literary analogue of this is what you would call writing a weak character. Its like stripping the humanity away from someone in the name of unconditional tolerance. One point I could argue against is that tropes necessarily lead to weak characters. The movie "Everything Everywhere All At Once" is riddled with character tropes. An Asian-American family struggling to make ends meet, the parents clinging to a failing marriage, the daughter afraid to come out as lesbian. Yet when placed against the backdrop of an inter-dimensional existential crisis, the humanity of these characters is exposed. The fate of the entire universe was the line and yet the most gut-wrenching scene of the film for me was when the father handed divorce papers to the wife. The reason a lot of tropes exist is probably because they are fairly common experiences, the challenge is implementing them in a way that is engaging and insightful. Really love these kind of articles, I'm looking forward to the next one!

The United States has one of the biggest problems with opioid addiction in the world. During 2017, at least 70,000 died from drug overdoses in the United States during 2017. This is a staggering figure. It means that more people died from drug overdoses than from car accidents, gun violence and HIV related deaths in one year. It is by far the worst statistics of any country in the developed world.
But what about the UK? The opioid crisis is set to be the next big crisis to hit the UK. Opioid-related deaths in the UK rose by 29% during 2018. A staggering 10 million prescriptions for opioid drugs were issued during 2017 when compared to 2007. This is a huge increase.
Sadly a lot of people who suffer from chronic health conditions simply don't know that they are addicted to opioids. As their prescribed medicine seem to become less effective, they simply start to self-prescribe. Opioid medication can be purchased online today, and controlling the supply chain is difficult. However, it is easier to become addicted to opioids than previously thought. As a result, an increasing amount of people are suffering from uncontrolled opioid abuse which can lead to accidental overdoses.
The most common opioid-based prescription drugs in the UK are codeine, tramadol, and fentanyl. They are often prescribed by family doctors to treat a range of chronic pain and inflammatory conditions. The problem is that patients are "left on them" and their basic medical problem is not treated.
Drug addiction in the United Kingdom is more spread out across the age groups when compared to the United States. It is not at all uncommon for someone in their 50's to suffer from drug addiction to prescription drugs. In fact, some family doctors are not even aware of the signs and symptoms of prescription drug addiction.
Is your GP up to handling the situation? Unfortunately, your GP may not even associate these symptoms with prescription opioid addiction and put them down to other health conditions instead. Very little training is being offered to UK GP's with regard to prescription drug abuse. It is true that clinical symptoms can be confusing, but should we not be asking ourselves more questions about the medication that we are taking?
If you are at all concerned about your symptoms, you should at first talk to the doctor who issued the prescription to you. It is crucial that he or she understands that you may be having a problem. As this can be very stressful, it is a good idea to write down your symptoms.
Symptoms of prescription drug addiction tend to vary throughout the day. Try to describe the symptom as much as you can, and at the same time, tell him what time of the day you have experienced the symptom. Drug addiction is such a confusing condition and your doctor needs to have as much information as possible.
What If My Doctor Can't Help?
When your doctor does not recognise the fact that you may have a problem, it is time to turn to alternative sources of help. Private rehab clinics have sprung up in the UK, and it could be a good idea to get in touch with a private clinic.
The truth is that a private clinic will have better resources to deal with your problem. Going through the NHS based system may mean waiting for a long time. During that time, you may find yourself unable to work and your condition may even worsen.
As soon as you spot any symptoms which you are concerned about, it is best to seek help as soon as possible. Should you be ashamed? Of course, you should not be ashamed. Even prescription drug addiction is a medical condition. It can be successfully treated, and the sooner it is noticed, the better it is for you.

Commercial Asbestos Removal
Information About Asbestos
At least 3500 people in Great Britain die each year from mesothelioma (Cancer caused by asbestos fibres, no known cure) and asbestos related lung cancer as a result of past exposure to asbestos. Annual numbers of deaths are predicted to go on rising into the next decade.
Analyses of mesothelioma deaths indicate that many deaths are due to heavy asbestos exposures in industries like shipbuilding and railway engineering in the past. If current control measures are not adhered to, asbestos removal workers are now potentially at the highest risk, as are workers involved in the refurbishment, repair or maintenance of buildings – such as plumbers, carpenters and electricians, cable laying, telephone lines.
Asbestos still kills
Asbestos was used extensively as a building material in GB from the 1950s through to the mid 1980s. Although some of this material has been removed over the years, there are many thousands of tonnes of asbestos still present in buildings. It is estimated that over half a million non-domestic premises currently have some form of asbestos in them. There is extensive repair and removal work, which will continue for the foreseeable future.
Asbestosis is defined as lung fibrosis caused by the inhalation of asbestos fibres. Diagnosis is made on the basis of clinical features, X-ray appearances and a history of heavy asbestos exposure. It is generally recognised that heavy asbestos exposures are required in order to produce clinically significant asbestosis within the lifetime of an individual. Current trends therefore still largely reflect the results of heavy exposures in the past.
Asbestos-related lung cancer
There are around 50 to 80 new cases of disablement each year due to asbestos-related lung cancer, although this figure is likely to be a substantial under-estimate.
Epidemiological evidence suggests there are between 1 and 2 cases of asbestos related lung cancer for each mesothelioma.
Asbestos related disease
There are four main diseases associated with inhalation of asbestos fibres.
These are asbestosis (a scarring of the lung tissue caused by asbestos), two kinds of cancer (mesothelioma and asbestos related lung cancer), and diffuse pleural thickening (a non-malignant disease affecting the lung lining).
The annual number of Mesothelioma deaths has increased from 153 in 1968 to 1633 in 2000, 1860 in 2001, and 1862 in 2002.
The latest projections suggest that the annual total number of mesothelioma deaths in Great Britain is estimated to peak at around 1950 to 2450 deaths some time between 2011 to 2015.
Occupations with the highest risk of mesothelioma for males include: metal plate workers (including shipyard workers), vehicle body builders (including rail vehicles), plumbers and gas fitters, carpenters and electricians.
The industry groups with the highest incidence rates of assessments for mesothelioma in 2001-2003 were construction (including insulation and asbestos removal workers) and extraction, energy and water supply.

BUTLER - The organizers of the Prairie Peddler Festival have branched out and added a new event, The Vintage Peddler, planned for June 9 and 10 at the wooded site near Butler.
The History Channel's "American Pickers" TV star Danielle Colby will be onhand on June 9 to emcee a vintage fashion show at noon, according to event coordinator Mandie Willis.
Colby will have a meet and greet and sell some of her merchandise from 2 to 3:30 p.m. June 9.
Willis said 90 vendors from throughout the Midwest will be at the 3170 Ohio 97 site, offering farmhouse, industrial, antiques, shabby chic and vintage items for sale.
"These are all different vendors than we have at The Prairie Peddler Festival," she said.
There will be lots of food, and beer and wine will be sold. Live music is scheduled, she added.
"We hope to make it an annual event," Willis said. "Vendors will offer a lot of unique pieces, things people refurbish. I'm sure there will be a lot of great finds."
The Vintage Peddler will be open 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. both days, rain or shine. Admission is $6, with children 12 and younger admitted free. Parking is free. No pets permitted.

Most media outlets continue to portray the federal "shutdown" as a political fight between a president who once said he would be proud to provoke a standoff and congressional leaders who have called the bully's bluff. And it is that. But the story of President Trump facing off against House Speaker Nancy Pelosi just scrapes the surface of what is really going on.

Los Angeles Teachers Have Approved a Contract to End Their Six-Day Strike
Christopher Weber and Brian Melley on Wednesday, January 23 - 11:44am
Teachers overwhelmingly approved a new contract Tuesday and planned to return to the classroom after a six-day strike over funding and staffing in the nation's second-largest school district.
Although all votes hadn't been counted, preliminary figures showed that a "vast supermajority" of some 30,000 educators voted in favor of the tentative deal, "therefore ending the strike and heading back to schools tomorrow," said Alex Caputo-Pearl, president of United Teachers Los Angeles.

A Manufactured Crisis
Tom Chamberlain, Oregon AFL-CIO president on Thursday, January 17 - 10:36am
Eight hundred thousand workers. That is the number of government employees and contractors impacted by President Trump's shutdown of the federal government. The average take home pay of impacted workers is around $500 per week, and any financial uncertainty is sure to cause stress and anxiety over how to make ends meet. Each day of this manufactured crisis, working families lose money for housing, healthcare and groceries — the essentials we need to get by.

'Pay the Workers, Furlough Trump': Federal Workers Rally for End to Shutdown
Marissa J. Lang on Wednesday, January 16 - 10:25am
Furloughed federal employees and out-of-work contractors greeted one another Thursday with a sarcastic nickname that, on the 20th day of a partial government shutdown, captured their feeling of powerlessness: "Hello, fellow pawns."
They shouted it to one another over the brutal wind and bitter cold on Thursday in downtown Washington, where hundreds gathered to demand government leaders put an end to the shutdown and allow them to get back to work.

The 8 Most Important Labor Stories of 2018
REBECCA BURNS on Thursday, January 3 - 11:13am
1. Janus dealt a heavy blow to labor—but public-sector unions didn't crumble overnight.
In June, the Supreme Court issued its long-awaited ruling in Janus v. AFSCME—and it was just as bad as everyone feared. In a 5-to-4 decision, the court found that public-sector unions violated the First Amendment by collecting so-called fair-share fees from workers who aren't union members but benefit from collective bargaining regardless.

MedStar Mobile Healthcare serves nearly 1 million residents in and around Fort Worth, Texas. The service responds to around 130,000 emergency calls per year with about 350 providers and a fleet of 63 ambulances.
Between 2013 and 2015, the agency identified a trend of strain and sprain injuries to its providers related to lifting and loading manual ambulance cots. Using a safety dashboard, they discerned that 49 cot-related injuries led to more than 10,000 hours in lost time, over $150,000 in workers' compensation costs and even more paid out in overtime to cover the injured medics' shifts.
Because these injuries occurred while using manual cots, MedStar leadership saw an opportunity for improvement and decided to test new, powered equipment. The agency had been using Stryker manual cots for some time, and after comparing Stryker's powered equipment against a competitor's during a trial period, MedStar found that its providers preferred the features of the Stryker equipment.
The agency partnered with Stryker in 2016 to introduce a full fleet of powered equipment, specifically Stryker's Power-PRO XT cot and Power-LOAD cot fastening system, as well as the Stair-PRO stair chair.
Shaun Curtis, now support services manager for MedStar, was the agency's risk and safety manager during the adoption of the Stryker powered system.
After the agency implemented the powered system in mid-2016, the number of lost-time hours dropped to 1,300 – a reduction of 86 percent – and they reaped a cost savings of more than $32,000 in dollars paid for cot-related provider injuries.
The financial return on investment wasn't the only motivator for adopting powered equipment. MedStar also implemented ergonomic lifting training for all medics in 2016 to promote proper body mechanics and injury reduction for their caregivers. After a full year with the new Stryker powered equipment and the ergonomic training, MedStar went from 19 cot-related injuries in 2015 to only two in 2016, an 89 percent reduction.
Along with a reduction in caregiver injuries and significant cost savings, MedStar has seen improvements in employee satisfaction. Curtis says the new powered equipment has boosted morale, and that one of the biggest rewards of adopting has been constant positive feedback from MedStar providers.
Curtis also says the fact that MedStar uses powered equipment for patient transport has also provided a boost to recruiting and retention, attracting new applicants and inspiring veterans to stay with the agency.
The Stryker powered equipment also provides a more comfortable experience for the patient, he adds.
Small design details also make a big difference, says Curtis. Providers appreciate the patient comfort wings and the cuts in the mattress to accommodate the seat belt instead of squeezing it over the mattress or the patient.
This attention to detail makes the Stryker powered system a critical component of the MedStar Mobile Healthcare fleet.
"All the little features that they've added have been awesome for us," said Curtis.


I'm a Media & Communications, Journalism and Creative Writing graduate from the Queensland University of Technology.
I have a deep passion for food (particularly anything to do with baking), all things creative and social media (including any chance I have to combine the two), and an interest in photography. Some day I hope to travel each corner of the globe and eat my way through every country with a notebook and my camera in tow.
Over the course of my degree I have written for a number of publications including biscuit magazine and Phoebella magazine. I also wrote for the Isthmus during my final year as part of my assessment. I have discussed a range of topics, most notably food, travel, life and areas related to my degree.
I've always said that I don't care what job I end up with, as long as I can travel. On further reflection my new plan includes either writing for the travel section of delicious. magazine, sharing my experiences of the world through Lonely Planet or cultivating ideas and concepts on Mashable or Buzzfeed.
But for now I'll keep my feet firmly planted in the creative culture of Brisbane.

Shorten pledges $500 million to upgrade regional Queensland roads
By Toby Crockford
September 1, 2018 — 1.37pm
Labor leader Bill Shorten has pledged federal funding to upgrade regional Queensland roads, widen the M1 and kick-start the Cross River Rail project, if he becomes Australia's 31st Prime Minister.
The federal opposition leader made the promises during his speech at the 55th Australian Labor Party Queensland Conference on Saturday.

Meanwhile, Gold Coast-based Nita Green, a former political staffer for ALP Senator Murray Watt, won the preselection race to replace retiring Queensland Senator Claire Moore as expected, with accusations of rigging and calls to stop the ballot having been made on the eve of the vote.
Mr Shorten told the ALP faithful he was sick of talking and would "just get on with the job" if he was elected as the country's leader in the next federal election.
He said the three most important things to him came from Queensland: the Australian Workers' Union, Australian Labor Party and his wife, Chloe.
He said he would have to win Queensland from the suburbs to the regions and earn the respect and trust of Queenslanders if he was to take out the country's top job.
"I will continue to visit every part of your state because I want to present Queenslanders with a plan for every part of your state," he said.
"We know there is so much more to Queensland than the south-east corner.
"What we're going to do is extend the Bruce Highway to Cairns Airport, deliver stage two of the Mackay Ring Road, invest in better water security for Townsville, build that flood levy for Rocky (and) put in Commonwealth dollars to build the Rookwood Weir.
"We're going to widen the Port of Townsville, build that port access road at Gladstone and relocate the Bruce Highway to the west of Rocky with a new ring road to take thousands of trucks off local streets and turn the regional airport into a freight hub."
Mr Shorten pledged $500 million to upgrade more than 3000 kilometres of the state's regional roads and up to 300 regional bridges.
"Queensland is like no other state, and the people on the coast have family connections west of the Great Diving Range," he said.
"You are the most decentralised state in Australia — half of your state's economic activity takes place outside of Brisbane — and so Labor is determined to ensure that every part of Queensland gets top-quality infrastructure."

The major roads in line for a makeover under Labor were the Barkly Highway between Mt Isa and Cloncurry, Capricorn Highway between Emerald and Rockhampton, Mitchell Highway from Cunnamulla to Charleville, Kennedy Highway between Cairns and Mareeba as well as those around Longreach and Winton.
"When these roads are not up to scratch, driver safety is put at risk," Mr Shorten said.
"Truckies are forced to go the long and expensive way around, the cost of moving goods on these roads increases, flood damage is a bigger problem than it ought to be and of course, the same few reliable roads are more crowded."
Among Mr Shorten's other promises were restoring Sunday and public holiday penalty rates, pushing for equal pay for women and providing greater job security for older members of the workforce and those in insecure jobs.
He also pledged to put money back into Queensland hospitals, protect Medicare, tackle surgery waiting lists, build more park 'n' ride stations in the state and invest in more renewable energy.
He also renewed calls for an Australian Republic.
Mr Shorten also couldn't resist making a few jokes at the expense of the Coalition, after a chaotic few weeks for the Liberal party.
"Some things have changed a great deal since our last conference together," he said.
"Annastacia Palaszczuk has won a second term as premier, Malcolm Turnbull has left the building — in fact, he's left the country — Julie Bishop is on the backbench and Peter Dutton is in all sorts of trouble ... seriously, what is the go with the au pairs?
"Who would have thought such an arch-conservative, inspiration to the Institute of Public Affairs, was secretly working towards a nanny state?"

Winnipeg – June 11, 2018 – The Appellate Panel under the Agreement on Internal Trade (AIT) has issued its decision in the appeal of the Panel Report in the Person to Government dispute between Artisan Ales Consulting Inc. and the Government of Alberta regarding mark-ups on beer.
The Appellate Panel reversed some parts of the Panel Report but upheld the determination of the Panel that the Alberta Small Brewers Development (ASBD) Program is inconsistent with the AIT. The Appellate Report can be found on the CFTA web site at: https://www.cfta-alec.ca/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/GOA-vs.-Artisan-Ale-appeal-report-Final.pdf.
In July 2016, Artisan Ales Consulting Inc. requested that a Person to Government proceeding be initiated with respect to an Alberta measure which applied mark-ups on beer produced in Alberta and beer imported from other Canadian provinces. In July 2017, the Panel found that Alberta's Measures (the Mark-ups and the ASBD Program together) had impaired internal trade and caused injury and a denial of benefit. In August 2017, the Government of Alberta filed an appeal against the findings of the Panel Report. In January 2018, the Appellate Panel (comprised of Peter Kirby (chair), Milos Barutciski and Debra Steger) held a hearing and heard arguments from the participants: Artisan Ales, the Government of Alberta and an intervenor, the Government of Saskatchewan.
The AIT was an intergovernmental trade agreement signed by Canadian First Ministers in July 1994. Its purpose is to reduce and eliminate, to the extent possible, barriers to the free movement of persons, goods, services, and investment within Canada so as to establish an open, efficient, and stable domestic market. The AIT has been superseded by the Canadian Free Trade Agreement (the CFTA) which came into effect on July 1, 2017.
Peter Kirby, has practiced international trade law and arbitration for over twenty years with Fasken in Montreal. He is called to the bars of Québec, Ontario, Massachusetts and New York. He earned his common and civil law degrees at McGill, along with a BA in Economics from Concordia, and a post-graduate Diplôme d'études approfondies in Public International Law from the University of Montpellier in France.
Milos Barutciski, co-chairs the International Trade and Investment Group at Bennett Jones LLP. He has represented corporate, institutional and government clients in matters relating to international trade law, international dispute settlement and other aspects of international business regulation, including NAFTA, CETA, the WTO Agreements and investment treaties. He routinely represents Canadian and international businesses in relation to economic regulatory matters in Canada and internationally. Mr. Barutciski is a member of the Executive Board of the International Chamber of Commerce (Paris), a Fellow of the American Bar Foundation, a past-President of the International Law Association (London), and a past chair of the Canadian Bar Association's International Law Section. Fluently bilingual in English and French, Mr. Barutciski has published and lectured extensively in Canada and abroad, and has testified before federal and provincial Parliamentary Committees on matters relating to international economic regulation. He was called to the Bars of Ontario and Quebec in 1987.
Debra Steger, is the Hyman Soloway Chair in Business and Trade Law and Full Professor at the University of Ottawa, Faculty of Law. She was the first Director of the Appellate Body Secretariat of the World Trade Organization. During the Uruguay Round, she was the Senior Negotiator for the Government of Canada responsible for Dispute Settlement and the Establishment of the World Trade Organization as well as the Principal Legal Counsel for all of the WTO agreements. She has served as General Counsel of the Canadian International Trade Tribunal and practised international trade, investment and competition law with law firms in Canada. She has been appointed to dispute settlement panels in the WTO, the NAFTA, and the Agreement on Internal Trade. She is called to the Bar of Ontario, and has an LL.M. from the University of Michigan, an LL.B. from the University of Victoria, and a B.A. from the University of British Columbia.

All events take place in the departure lounge, after security.
Sometimes words just aren't enough. Sometimes it's all about a look, a gesture, something heartfelt yet unspoken. That's probably what our mime artist would say, if he was allowed to speak.
Instead he'll be out and about in the terminal, bringing a spot of silent performance art to the airport.
Look out for his distinctive black-and-white costume, and enjoy your very own slice of romantic comedy.
Immortalise the moment with a personal pen portrait, courtesy of our very talented caricaturist.
He'll create your likeness while you wait, ready for you to share with your loved one.
We know your time is precious, so we've made sure to book an artist who's quicker than quick on the draw.
Let this London four-piece serenade you with a repertoire spanning 1950s classics, current chart hits and almost everything in-between.
For Valentine's they'll be roaming the departure lounge, so let the music find you. What's not to love?
Elle and her Belles bring you retro-style love songs that will make you want to sing and dance along.
The London quintet specialise in swing, jazz and Big Band tunes, all delivered with a smile and perfectly on-point harmony.

Акцентное освещение ()— фокусирование света в определенном месте или на определенном объекте. Главной задачей такого освещения является привлечение внимания к освещаемому объекту. В большинстве случаев эффект достигается созданием контраста между объектом и общим фоном, на котором рассматривается объект.

Применение
Акцентное освещение может использоваться:
 для подсветки экспонатов (в музеях, на выставках) или отдельных товаров в магазинах
 для подсветки различных архитектурных элементов (колонн, барельефов, карнизов, арок)
 для придания интерьеру зрительной структуры (световое зонирование интерьера, помощь в ориентации в помещении)

Устраивается такое освещение с помощью разнонаправленных светильников или систем освещения с независимыми плафонами, которые, обычно, регулируются в двух плоскостях, что дает возможность направить свет на разные объекты, независимо друг от друга. Такими светильниками могут быть прожекторы, споты, точечные светильники, торшеры и трековые системы.

Виды

Концентрированный свет
Вверх: Создание областей высокой яркости на потолке с темными участками между ними. Луч распространяется от 30 ° или менее вверх.
Вниз: Используется для создания областей высокой яркости на полу с темными участками между ними. Луч распространяется от 30 ° или менее вниз, используется для разработки пространства с высокой контрастностью.

Направленное освещение
Используется для освещения объекта, чтобы сосредоточить внимание на нем. Светильник располагают так, чтобы он излучал свет около 30° от вертикали, что по общему мнению лучше всего подходит для искусства.

Postemergence Combinations of Imazaquin or Imazethapyr by AC 263,222 for Weed Control in Soybean (Glycine max)
David R. Shaw (a1) and Marshall B. Wixson (a1)
Dep. Plant Pathol. Weed Sci., Miss. State Univ., Mississippi State, MS 39762
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 12 June 2017
Field experiments were established to evaluate weed control with AC 263,222 alone and in combination with imazaquin or imazethapyr. Addition of AC 263,222 to either imazaquin or imazethapyr resulted in additive or synergistic increases in control of johnsongrass, pitted morningglory, and entireleaf morningglory. Reducing the rate of imazaquin from 140 to 18 g ai ha−1 did not reduce control of johnsongrass or pitted morningglory when AC 263,222 was added at 18 g ai ha−1 and above, compared to 140 g ha−1 imazaquin alone, through 8 weeks after treatment (WAT). When 9 g ha−1 or more AC 263,222 was added to imazethapyr, reducing imazethapyr rate from 70 to 9 g ai ha−1 did not reduce control of johnsongrass or pitted morningglory through 8 WAT. Adding 9 g ha−1 or more AC 263,222 to various rates of imazaquin or imazethapyr 2 and 8 WAT additively or synergistically increased control of johnsongrass, pitted morningglory, entireleaf morningglory, and tall waterhemp compared to those herbicides applied alone. Soybean injury increased 2 WAT when 35 or 70 g ha−1 AC 263,222 was added to most rates of imazaquin or imazethapyr, but was less than 15% in all treatments by 8 WAT. Visual soybean injury did not translate into a yield loss, and an increase in weed control often resulted in increased yield.

Smokefree social housing environments can improve tenants' health and wellbeing.
A smokefree social housing policy can result in wins for tenants, housing providers, and the wider community.
Creating a smokefree culture is good for everyone. Smokefree policies can protect non-smokers from the harm associated with second-hand smoke and third-hand smoke such as the nicotine and other toxins left behind on surfaces after exposure to smoke.
Smokefree policies can also increase current-smokers' levels of motivation to stop, and can trigger quit attempts or lead to reduced consumption. Most people who are socioeconomically disadvantaged want to quit as much as others. Often attempts are less successful because they lack supportive environments and adequate resources. Access to stop smoking support within a smokefree environment will further increase the likelihood that tenants stop smoking and remain smokefree.
Smokefree policies can also reduce unnecessary maintenance and repairs to housing units, particularly the cleaning and repainting of yellowed and stained interior surfaces. Smokefree policies may also reduce fire risks and related insurance costs.
potentially favourable effects on overall management time.

The first week of November is usually reserved only for being up in a tree stand, but given the high winds that were forecast for Sunday, we decided to keep the bows in the truck and take a shot at the geese we've been scouting from the tree stands since the beginning of October. Throw in the fact that mornings for deer have been pretty slow for us this year and Sunday had strong Southeast winds that usually blow the geese over our field more, it was a pretty easy call to make. However, making a last-minute call to abandon deer hunting and instead go for geese had its challenges.
First, we get the decoy trailer hooked up to my buddy's truck about 3 AM and get 1/2 mile away from his place when the running lights on the trailer go out. My buddy comes prepared, so he had a spare fuse but it immediately pops as soon as we put it in. Back to my buddy's place we went, unhooked the trailer, and grabbed what we could throw in the bed of the truck. 2 layout blinds, 2 dozen full-body motion decoys and a dozen and a half silhouettes was all we could fit and the remaining 3 dozen big foot decoys had to wait in the trailer for another day to hunt.
We get down to the farm still with plenty of time and come up with a game plan on where we'll setup, where we'll put the decoys and, ideally, where we'll want the birds to come in. Got the spread out and then, as usual, waited on the birds since they don't normally fly until well after sunrise.
First group came from the south about 6:45 AM and did not even think about it. They were flying low to stay out of the wind, came up over the hill in front of us, turned on our spread and were feet down right in the pocket of our spread. I was on the left, Adam was on the right and could see the birds the whole time. I didn't see them until they already had their feet down and were coming in. What a great way to start a morning! Adam and I drop 2 birds with our first shots and then my gun jams and I can't get any other shots off but Adam dropped another. First birds of 2018 on the ground!
Then it was dead until 8 AM when the sky was full of birds and it stayed that way for at least an hour. They were getting up and flying over fields but not really settling down, more so just stretching their wings. However, this meant that we were down in our blinds oddly contorting ourselves for what felt like forever with birds over the top of us but not really looking to come into our spread. The big flocks finally settled down and the bulk of them were landing in the neighbor's field across the street.
Around 9:30, a group gets up and starts coming towards us. Again, my buddy Adam and I are so far down in our blinds and contorted so that we could see out the back of the blinds that I didn't see this group until some of them had already landed. Adam was calling the shots and waited till the bulk of the group was right in front of us about to land in our decoys. We both come up, Adam drops his 3rd bird, and I dropped my 2nd before my gun jammed up again after taking the first shot.
I got out of the blind and determined my problem was that I was stopping the action on my Remington 887 from ejecting the shells. Loaded up 3 shots, shot and ejected just fine. Hopefully I don't run into that problem any more.
The last group came in while Adam is laying on his stomach looking out the back of his blind. I'm looking out the front of my blind and can't see the birds coming from behind us. Adam tells me they're coming and to get ready. 3 feet off the ground to my right I see them coming in and they land at the right edge of our decoys. I come up out of my blind as forcefully as possible to try and flush them in the air, but they don't move. I take a shot over the head of the one I wanted to shoot and he starts getting up. Pump, eject shell, load shell and shot number 2 puts him down. Never in my life have I ever shot a bird that continued it's trajectory upward after I shot it, then peaked and began falling back to the field. It was a sight I will not soon forget!
First multiple-man limit for me since 2009 when I was hunting with my dad and my brother!
The keys to our success, from my standpoint, was the strong SE winds and the 2 confidence decoys we put about 60 yards downwind of our spread. Every flock that came into us flew directly over these confidence decoys on their approach and were feet down by the time they cleared them. If you're not using confidence decoys, give them a shot - they work!
Did I mention the truck was packed? Goose gear + Deer gear = full truck!

Osun Education stakeholders commend reopening of Baptist Govt High school, Oshogbo
The Governor, State of Osun, Adegboyega Oyetola, has approved the re-opening of Baptist Government High School, Gbodofon, Osogbo.
In a press statement signed by the Honourable Commissioner for Education, Hon. Folorunsho Oladoyin disclosed that the decision to reopen the school was followed by appeals from stakeholders and leaders of thoughts who were convinced that the students have learnt their lessons and have shown remorse over the unruly behaviour that led to the closure of the school last year.
While addressing the teachers of the school, the Coordinating Director Osun central Education District Office, Mrs Comfort Osungbohun urged the teachers to cooperate with the Principals of the school in instilling discipline to the students.
Mrs Osungbohun advised that teachers should see themselves as role models that the students look up to and constantly make themselves available in redirecting the steps of the students aright.
Speaking in an interview, the PTA Chairman, Comrade Bisi Olaniyan, thanked the government for dimming it fit to reopen the school and advised the students to be of good behaviour henceforth.
Also speaking, the Principal, Baptist Government High School, Mrs Bunmi Obafemi said teaching and learning activities will begin with immediate effect, disclosing that security measures have been put in place to prevent such events from reoccurring.
Mrs Obafemi explained that students will henceforth be kept busy with teaching and learning activities, pointing out that an idle mind is a devil's workshop.
A biology teacher in the school, Mrs Awogbade Oyindamola also appreciated the state government for reopening the school, promising that the teachers will ensure that they help the students cover up for the time they missed during the closure of the school.
