OA mandate from the European Research Council
The Scientific Council of the European Research Council has released its Guidelines for Open Access. Although the document is dated December 17, 2007, it was put online January 10, 2008. Here it is in its entirety:
Scientific research is generating vast, ever increasing quantities of information, including primary data, data structured and integrated into databases, and scientific publications. In the age of the Internet, free and efficient access to information, including scientific publications and original data, will be the key for sustained progress.
Peer-review is of fundamental importance in ensuring the certification and dissemination of high-quality scientific research. Policies towards access to peer-reviewed scientific publications must guarantee the ability of the system to continue to deliver high-quality certification services based on scientific integrity.
Access to unprocessed data is needed not only for independent verification of results but, more importantly, for secure preservation and fresh analysis and utilisation of the data.
A number of freely accessible repositories and curated databases for publications and data already exist serving researchers in the EU. Over 400 research repositories are run by European research institutions and several fields of scientific research have their own international discipline-specific repositories. These include for example PubMed Central for peer-reviewed publications in the life sciences and medicine, the arXiv Internet preprint archive for physics and mathematics, the DDBJ/EMBL/GenBank nucleotide sequence database and the RSCB-PDB/MSD-EBI/PDBj protein structure database.
With few exceptions, the social sciences & humanities (SSH) do not yet have the benefit of public central repositories for their recent journal publications. The importance of open access to primary data, old manuscripts, collections and archives is even more acute for SSH. In the social sciences many primary or secondary data, such as social survey data and statistical data, exist in the public domain, but usually at national level. In the case of the humanities, open access to primary sources (such as archives, manuscripts and collections) is often hindered by private (or even public or nation-state) ownership which permits access either on a highly selective basis or not at all.
Based on these considerations, and following up on its earlier Statement on Open Access (Appendix 1) the ERC Scientific Council has established the following interim position on open access:
The ERC requires that all peer-reviewed publications from ERC-funded research projects be deposited on publication into an appropriate research repository where available, such as PubMed Central, ArXiv or an institutional repository, and subsequently made Open Access within 6 months of publication.
The ERC considers essential that primary data - which in the life sciences for example could comprise data such as nucleotide/protein sequences, macromolecular atomic coordinates and anonymized epidemiological data - are deposited to the relevant databases as soon as possible, preferably immediately after publication and in any case not later than 6 months after the date of publication.
The ERC is keenly aware of the desirability to shorten the period between publication and open access beyond the currently accepted standard of 6 months.
This is an exemplary policy --kudos to all involved. First and above all, it makes OA mandatory. The embargo is reasonably short and ERC clearly hopes to make it even shorter. The policy supports central and distributed (disciplinary and institutional) repositories equally. For peer-reviewed articles, it requires deposit upon publication, before the embargo runs, supporting what I call the dual deposit/release strategy or what Stevan Harnad calls immediate deposit / optional access. It makes no exception for resisting publishers and even seems to apply to the published editions of articles, not just the authors' peer-reviewed manuscripts. And it unambiguously extends the OA policy from articles to data.
The ERC's March 2007 grant guidelines make clear (pp. 12, 35) that when grantees submit their work to fee-based OA journals, ERC is willing to pay the publication fees. But the new document is silent on the subject. Do the older grant guidelines stand, because not modified here? Or is ERC silently rescinding its willingness to pay publication fees?
If you remember, the Scientific Council of the ERC pledged to adopt an OA mandate back in December 2006, before the ERC itself had even launched. (That pledge is now included as Appendix 1 in the new document.) The ERC formally launched in February 2007, and in September 2007 it issued a position paper reiterating the need for an OA mandate. Now it has delivered on its earlier promises.
While there are OA mandates at public funding agencies in Austria, Belgium, France, Germany, Scotland, Switzerland, and the UK, and OA recommendations in other European countries, this is the first EU-wide OA mandate. It makes a beautiful bookend to the new OA mandate ordered by Congress and the President last month for the US National Institutes of Health (NIH).
The ERC will disburse about 15% of the EU research budget for FP7 (2007-20013), or about 7.5 billion Euros.

Update (1/18/08). On my second bullet point above: The ERC will continue to pay publication fees. Details in my post from January 18, 2008.

By Presidential Decree dated 17 January 2017, Luc Derepas, State Councillor, has been appointed Chairman of the Board of Administrators of the French Agency for Food, Environmental and Occupational Health & Safety (ANSES). He succeeds Professor Didier Houssin, who had been the Board's Chairman since December 2013.
By a Decree of the President of the Republic dated 17 January 2017, Luc Derepas is henceforth Chairman of the Board of Administrators of ANSES. The role of the Chairman of the Board of Administrators is central to the governance of the Agency as the Chair is responsible for coordinating and facilitating the work of the Agency's Board of Administrators, made up of representatives of the five colleges set up by the Grenelle environmental round table. The Chair of the ANSES Board of Administrators is a non-executive and unpaid role.
Luc Derepas's legal knowledge of agricultural issues, labour law, and health and social issues will be valuable assets for ANSES as regards the examination of topics relating to its organisation and operation, in the framework of both its regulatory and risk assessment activities.
Luc Derepas is a graduate of ENA and of the Institute of Political Studies of Bordeaux. He began his career at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, in the Directorate for the United Nations and International Organisations (1989-1991). He joined the French Embassy in Bonn, Germany, in 1992, then held a position in the Sub-Directorate for Nuclear Non-proliferation of the Ministry's Strategic Affairs Directorate.
He joined the French Council of State in 1997, as Rapporteur to the Council's Litigation Section, with responsibility for issues relating to local authorities, agriculture and competition, and also as Rapporteur to the Social Section.
In 2003, he was appointed Assistant General Administrator of the Réunion des Musées Nationaux (French National Museum Alliance - RMN).
From 2005 to 2010, he was successively Rapporteur to the Litigation Section of the Council of State (social issues and labour law) and Rapporteur to the Interior Section (constitutional, justice and interior issues).
In 2010 he joined the International Labour Organization as legal adviser to the International Labour Office.
In 2012, Luc Derepas became the Secretary General for Immigration and Integration at the Ministry of the Interior, before being promoted to Director General for Foreigners in France until 2015.
Since 2015, Luc Derepas has been an Assessor for the Fifth Chamber of the Litigation Section in charge of cases relating to medical liability, the audiovisual sector and litigation concerning agricultural structures.
During his hearing before the French Parliament, Luc Derepas identified four key challenges for the Agency's Board of Administrators: "to ensure the necessary conditions for a high level of collective, adversarial expert appraisal with the support of the recently renewed Scientific Board, to guarantee the credibility of the Agency's work by its independence, to constantly check that the Agency has the means to carry out its missions and, finally, to strengthen its position in Europe and in the international scientific community."
Set up in close consultation with stakeholders from civil society, the Agency's system of governance reinforces not only the independence of its expert appraisals, but also its transparency and openness to society and to all those concerned by the issues it deals with.
The ANSES Board of Administrators sets the Agency's general policy guidelines, including its multi-year strategy, its annual work programme, and its Goals and Performance Contract with the State. It deliberates on the Agency's general organisation and the establishment of agreements with external organisations, and is involved in setting ethical standards.
In addition to its Chairman, the ANSES Board of Administrators consists of the five colleges of the Grenelle environmental round table – public authorities, trades unions, professional organisations, NGOs and voluntary associations, and elected officials – along with qualified individuals and representatives of Agency personnel.
The members of the Board of Administrators were appointed by Ministerial Order dated 21 November 2016.

Redevelopment: Finding Common Ground
The case of Stanning v Baldwin [2019] EWHC 1350 has raised a number of interesting questions, giving the High Court the opportunity to tackle three issues which are often experienced by developers, being: (1) rights of way, (2) drainage and (3) boundary disputes. The decision is useful for those seeking to establish rights based on long user.
Glynis Stanning, the claimant, owned a property known as the Coach House ("The Coach House") which was located in the North East corner of Gerrard's Cross Common ("the Common"). The Coach House itself was built in 1978 to replace the original property located in the corner of the common. When construction took place, the existing drainage systems laid under the common which connected to the public sewers were reused for the new building.
In 2017, Mrs Stanning obtained planning permission to demolish the Coach House and build four terrace houses with underground parking for nine cars. Mr Baldwin, the owner of the Common, raised concerns over the proposed redevelopment at the Coach House. The parties attempted to negotiate an amicable outcome, but ultimately failed to reach an agreement. The three most contentious issues between them were; the intensification of the right of way, the right to drainage from the properties, and where the boundary would lie.
To determine the outcome of this case the Court considered each of the three issues separately.
Right of way – As access to the Coach House was via an unadopted track over the Common, it was argued the proposed development would lead to an unacceptable intensification of the right of way. This was based on the fact there would be four houses worth of vehicles using the right of way as opposed to one. The court relied on the decision in McAdams Homes Ltd v Robinson [2004] EWCA Civ 214; which held where there was no radical change in use, but merely an intensification, the right of way would remain, unless the use was manifestly excessive.
The Court did not consider the new use to be 'self-evidently excessive' despite the possible damage to the surface of the track from the excavation works during the construction phase, or potential increase in cars. This was because there was no radical change in the use of the dominant land, as the development remained residential and was not going to obviously cause a public nuisance. It was also highlighted the increased use of the right of way was not breaching any of the Common's bylaws or any other statutory rights.
Based on these findings, the Court held that the continued use of the right of way would be permitted.
Rights of drainage – The Court held an easement would have arisen in relation to drainage if the use had been 'peaceful, open and not based on any licence from the owner of the land' for a period of 20 years. It was beyond doubt that the use had been peaceful, therefore, it was just for the Court to decide whether the right of drainage had been enjoyed openly and without permission for 20 years.
Upon reviewing the evidence, it became apparent that the construction of the original property in 1906 must have involved excavation of the Common to connect the drains to the main sewer, which would have been both open and obvious. Although it was suggested that this initial construction was carried out with permission, the Court held any permission (being a personal licence) would have expired on the first change of ownership of the servient land. As a result of this, it could not be shown that after 1962 when Mr Baldwin's father purchased the Lordship of the Manor, that any permission had been granted to make use of the drains.
The only question that remained, was whether the use had been open? It was acknowledged, in the majority of cases, the unnoticeable use of underground drainage was not sufficiently open to give rise to a prescriptive easement. Relying on the test as to whether successive owners of the servient land had a reasonable opportunity of becoming aware of the existence of a drain or pipe under their property, it was held that during 1978 when the Coach House was constructed, this should have put Mr Baldwin's father on enquiry as it would have been obvious that the Coach House required drainage. It would have been reasonable at the time of construction to ask what the situation concerning drains would be. Failure to do was enough to infer that he had sufficient knowledge of the drains, thus the use after that was satisfactorily open.
Boundary dispute – The two parties had differing opinions as to where the boundaries between their respective properties should be. Mr Baldwin believed the boundary should be as shown on the title plan for the Common. The Claimant, however, contended that the boundary was in fact two metres west of that.
In the absence of any title deeds, the Court sought to determine the boundary based on the nature and location of the key boundary features over the years.
The court found that the claimant was entitled to continue using the right of way, despite the potential rise in use following completion of the development to Church House. It was highlighted that the defendant had never specified the amount of vehicles which could use the right of way. In regards to the right to drainage, it was held that the use of the drains had been without secrecy, force or permission, therefore giving rise to a prescriptive easement. Despite the drainage actually being underground, the use was sufficiently open to be a valid easement.
This case reiterates the importance of property owners making the appropriate enquiries when a neighbouring property is undergoing development, as the neighbour may acquire rights through long use. Without making these enquiries, a property owner may be unaware of the potential rights gained.
For property owners, it is also worth bearing in mind the importance of historical records and physical boundary features. There are instances, similar to this case, where in the absence of recent records, the Court will use historical deeds in order to determine issues, such as boundary disputes.
Finally, this case demonstrates how land owners, burdened with a right of way, may find it difficult persuading a Court the intensification of the use of the right of way is manifestly excessive, especially in circumstances where there is no change in the use of the land.

Straszka pospolita, zimówka rudawa (Sympecma fusca) – gatunek ważki, jeden z trzech przedstawicieli rodzaju Sympecma należącego do rodziny pałątkowatych (Lestidae).

Morfologia
Cechuje się beżową barwą ciała z metalicznymi, brązowo-zielonymi plamami. Plamy na tułowiu mają postać równolegle przebiegających pasów podobnej szerokości z równymi brzegami. Na odwłoku plamy obejmują część grzbietową.

Długość ciała dojrzałego osobnika to około 37 mm, długość skrzydła waha się między 18 a 23 mm, rozpiętość skrzydeł około 44 mm. Ważka, charakterystycznie dla rodzaju Sympecma, składa w spoczynku skrzydła wzdłuż ciała, co jest wyjątkowe w rodzinie Lestidae. Skrzydła są prostokątne, znajdujące się na nich ciemnobrązowe znamiona (tzw. pterostygmy), mają zadanie stabilizacji lotu. Przydatki płciowe, po których kształcie odróżnia się płeć owada, są wyraźnie jaśniejsze od reszty ciała. W przypadku samców, dolne osiągają długość równą prawie połowy długości górnych przydatków analnych. U larwy charakterystyczna jest nieregularnie ząbkowana, zewnętrzna gałąź głaszczek. Postać larwalna jest smukła z 3 skrzelotchawkami, jak u innych z podrzędu Zygoptera.

Występowanie
Wyłączając wysokie góry, Wyspy Brytyjskie (gdzie do 2022 roku odnotowano zaledwie dwa stwierdzenia), północną i środkową Skandynawię oraz północną Rosję, spotykana powszechnie w całej Europie; w Azji występuje po środkową Syberię (lokalnie), Azję Środkową i Bliski Wschód, występuje też na północnych wybrzeżach Afryki. W Polsce występuje w całym kraju, wyłączając tereny górskie; na północnym wschodzie kraju jest rzadsza.

Ekologia
Ważka ta zasiedla płytkie zbiorniki wody stojącej, z bujną roślinnością szuwarową, jesienią szykuje się do hibernacji i wówczas spotykana jest na roślinach, z dala od zbiorników wodnych. Zarówno larwy jak i osobniki dorosłe są drapieżnikami. Dorosły osobnik łatwo wypatruje ofiary dzięki ogromnym oczom, żywi się małymi owadami. Okres godowy trwa od kwietnia do maja. Zewnętrznym objawem dojrzałości płciowej dorosłych osobników jest zabarwienie górnej części oczu na kolor błękitny. Wczesną wiosną samiec łączy się z samicą w celu kopulacji, składają jaja do obumarłych części roślin wodnych, ich larwy rozwijają się 2–3 miesiące. Larwy są drapieżnikami wodnymi, zdobywanie pożywienia ułatwia im gryzący aparat gębowy (tzw. maska), żywią się planktonem oraz innymi larwami np. larwami komarów.

Znaczenie w ochronie środowiska
Gatunek ten jest pospolity i szeroko rozprzestrzeniony, przez IUCN klasyfikowany jako least concern – LC, co oznacza gatunek najmniejszej troski. W Polsce nie jest objęty ochroną gatunkową.

Znaczenie dla gospodarki
Ważki są organizmami wskaźnikowymi, dzięki temu mogą być używane do określania jakości środowiska przyrodniczego. Źródła naukowe nie podają informacji na temat istotnego znaczenia Sympecma fusca dla gospodarki człowieka. Występują jedynie niewielkie wzmianki na temat tego, że żywi się komarami i muchami, zapobiegając w ten sposób nadmiernemu rozrodowi tych owadów, szczególnie w okolicach zbiorników wodnych, przez co jest pożyteczna dla człowieka.

Aktualne kierunki badań naukowych w Polsce
Obecnie badania prowadzone są w kierunku sprawdzenia nowych stanowisk Sympecma fusca. Pod względem jej preferencji względem właściwości fizyczno-chemicznych wody, w starorzeczach górnej Wisły. Badane jest również występowania połączenia z wodami rzeki, lub także istnienia obwałowań przeciwpowodziowych między rzeką a siedliskiem ważki.

Discussion in 'Food and Drink (Philadelphia Restaurants & Bars)' started by Jayfar, Oct 26, 2018.
Neil Stein, 77, the trailblazing, jet-setting restaurateur who helped ignite a sleepy Center City dining scene and brought sidewalk dining to Rittenhouse Square, died Oct. 25 at his Center City apartment, apparently of natural causes, said one of his daughters.
Mr. Stein, son of a grocer from Mount Airy, created such destinations as the Fish Market, Marabella's, Rock Lobster, Striped Bass, and Rouge in a career that spanned several decades. His empire began collapsing in late 2001, when a bank and, later, tax authorities came calling. Mr. Stein pleaded guilty to tax evasion and in 2006 served 10 months in state prison. In recent years, he had been plotting a return to the business.

News > Research School Announcement!
Partners in Learning in Doncaster is one of eleven schools/teaching school alliances to have won funding to boost the quality of teaching in their region through better use of research.
The new Research Schools – part-funded through the Government's Opportunity Areas programme and part of a joint initiative between the Education Endowment Foundation (EEF) and the Institute for Effective Education (IEE) - were unveiled by the Education Secretary Justine Greening at a summit hosted by the Sutton Trust today.
Partners in Learning will receive £200,000 over three years to become the focal point of evidence-based practice in Doncaster and build networks between large numbers of schools. They'll develop a programme of support and events to get more teachers using research evidence in ways that make a difference in the classroom.
Partners in Learning will join a growing network of Research Schools across the country. The first five were announced in October 2016, with a second six established in January 2017.
Partners in Learning is an inclusive teaching school alliance working with over 120 schools from all phases across Doncaster and beyond. Our vision is to create a sustainable, inclusive and productive partnership utilising the expertise from across the alliance and beyond which will lead to the improvement and development of high quality leadership, teaching and learning and improved outcomes for pupils across all our schools. Partners in Learning Primary Teaching School Alliance was designated in April 2013 and Partners in Learning Secondary Teaching School Alliance was designated in July 2015.
Research Schools have delivered a wide range of activities nationally to help teachers to use research to improve their teaching. They include programmes to help schools make the most of teaching assistants, training to support literacy in the early years and backing to develop Research School leads to spearhead the use of evidence in the classroom. They've also hosted conferences for schools in their area and put together monthly Research Schools Network newsletters, sent to 3000 teachers around the country.
Justine Greening also announced today that Sir Kevan Collins, Chief Executive of the EEF, would become 'Evidence Champion' for the Opportunity Areas. He will support the regions, including DONCASTER to better use evidence to improve outcomes and social mobility prospects for young people, particularly those from disadvantaged homes.
"Teachers are key to making sure that young people can reach their potential, regardless of where they start in life, so helping the profession be the best it can be will help tackle social mobility. By gathering evidence on what works in the classroom and sharing the best practice with teachers we can help to level up the opportunities for every pupil. These Research Schools will accelerate the work that is already underway in our Opportunity Areas and as our 'Evidence Champion', I know that Sir Kevan will look to share these learnings with teachers across the country."
"We know that there are big differences in social mobility across the country. Reaching those 'coldspots' is one of the biggest challenges we face in our drive to improve social mobility.
"Evidence of 'what works' is one of our most useful tools to do this. I'm looking forward to getting started as 'Evidence Champion' and bringing this to bear in these areas that need it most. By working with local partners, schools and organisations, we have the potential to really make a difference.
"We have been very impressed with the commitment and enthusiasm of the first eleven Research Schools to using research evidence to enhance teaching and learning. The new Research Schools show similar enthusiasm and will contribute considerably to the growing Research Schools Network.
The Education Endowment Foundation (EEF) is a grant-making charity set up in 2011 by the Sutton Trust as lead foundation in partnership with Impetus Trust (now part of Impetus–The Private Equity Foundation), with a £125m founding grant from the Department for Education. The EEF is dedicated to breaking the link between family income and educational achievement. Since its launch the EEF has awarded £89.4 million to test the impact of 145 projects reaching more than 970,000 children and young people in over 9,400 schools, nurseries and colleges across England. The EEF and Sutton Trust are, together, the government-designated What Works Centre for Education.
The Institute for Effective Education (IEE) is an independent charity working closely with schools, school leaders, academy chains, other third sector organisations, and policy-makers to promote the use of research evidence to inform and improve education outcomes for all children, especially the most disadvantaged.
The EEF and the IEE have not appointed a Research School in Ipswich, the twelfth Opportunity Area. They will reopen the applications in Autumn and continue to work with schools in the region to support high quality applications.

Sean Williams Discusses the Legacy of Irish Singer Joe Heaney
Sean Williams teaches ethnomusicology, the study of music in cultural context. She plays more than 30 musical instruments and has traveled to—and lived in—many parts of the world. She teaches with colleagues from all over campus, and takes students to Ireland in her "Ireland in History and Memory" program every three years. Her 2011 book, Bright Star of the West: Joe Heaney, Irish Song Man, won the top award in her field. Her work focuses on the many ways in which music and culture intersect through spirituality, urbanization, food, immigration, gender, language, and politics.
Here, she discusses the legacy of Joe Heaney (1919-1984) who was an Irish traditional singer and story-teller from Carna, Ireland.
Heaney was a leading and magisterial exponent of the sean-nos ('old-style' unaccompanied Irish-language) and had a repertory of several hundred songs that he learned from his father, aunt, and neighbors. This repertory included religious songs as well as local love songs and political ballads. In 1947, Heaney emigrated to Scotland and later moved to England where he worked as a labourer. He became popular among folk revivalists while in England, and when he returned to Ireland in 1957, became one of the first sean-nos singers to record commercially.
In the late 1950s, Heaney moved to the United States and worked as a doorman in New York City while performing at folk festivals and leading academic workshops. In the 1970s, he served as a visiting artist at the University of Washington, Seattle, where the archives of his music remain to this day.

Bright Star of the West: Joe Heaney, Irish Song Man
Bright Star of the West traces the life, repertoire, and influence of Joe Heaney, Ireland's greatest sean-nós ("old style") singer. Born in 1919, Joe Heaney grew up in a politically volatile time, as his native Ireland became a democracy. He found work and relative fame as a singer in London before moving to Scotland. Eventually, like many others searching for greater opportunity, he emigrated to the United States, where he worked as a doorman while supplementing his income with appearances at folk festivals, concerts and clubs. As his reputation and following grew, Heaney gained entry to the folk music scene and began leading workshops as a visiting artist at several universities. In 1982 the National Endowment for the Arts awarded Heaney America's highest honor in folk and traditional arts, the prestigious National Heritage Fellowship. Although Heaney's works did not become truly popular in his homeland until many years after his death, today he is hailed as a seminal figure of traditional song and is revered by those who follow traditional music.
Authors Sean Williams and Lillis Ó Laoire address larger questions about song, identity, and culture. They explore the deep ambivalence both the Irish and Irish-Americans felt toward the traditional aspects of their culture, examining other critical issues, such as gender and masculinity, authenticity, and contemporary marketing and consumption of sean-nós singing in both Ireland and the United States. Comingling Heaney's own words with the authors' comprehensive research and analysis, Bright Star of the West weaves a poignant critical biography of the man, the music, and his continuing legacy in Ireland and the United States.


The use of containers needs a strong supervision with different metrics than traditional VMs. For monitor Docker hosts, I use a stack of InfluxDB a time-series database, Grafana the data visualiser and finally Telegraf to ship our metrics from few hosts.
I'll show you how-to deploy InfluxDB and Grafana on a docker host and install Telegraf on a Debian-based distribution.
For sure, we can use Telegraf on Docker but personally, I prefer to install it directly on hosts to make it more permanent.
If docker go wrong, our metrics are already shipped.
This file will create a InfluxDB container with the port 8086 exposed on the Internet (to listen for metrics) with a volume for store data and a Grafana container with a volume for the configuration and the port 3000 exposed for the WebUI.
For security reason, we change InfluxDB admin user and password because we expose our database on Internet, same thing for the Grafana UI.
At this point, we are ready to receive metrics and visualise them. For ship some metrics, I use Telegraf, a small Go tools who ship all metrics we need and add some interesting plugins like Network or Docker.
Now, Telegraf is installed, we can now create our configuration file.
This file is quite simple, we take metrics about cpu, disk, io, kernel, mem, processes, swap, network and Docker (this last plugin is very interesting for us).
Now, our Telegraf agent is sending hundred metrics to our InfluxDB container. Let's visualise them !
You can print a single value in your Dashboard, for example the number of containers running on our host. This is possible with the Docker plugin of Telegraf.
At this point, you can create few nice dashboards showing some interesting information about your containers or your hosts.
I have finished with this tutorial, I hope it was useful, you can now easily send all your metrics from some Docker hosts to your new Docker supervision Stack.
I suggest you use Grafana behind a TLS reverse-proxy like Nginx. I'm writing an article about that, stay tuned !

Woolworths to close 100 Dick Smith stores
Tuesday 31st January 2012
Australian retailer Woolworths plans to restructure its specialty consumer electronics chain Dick Smith, including closing up to 100 stores in Australia and New Zealand, with a view to eventually selling it.
Dick Smith currently has about 386 stores in Australia and New Zealand and a decision to close a large number of them had been widely predicted by analysts because of poor sales. As a result it will book a A$300 million provision in its accounts for the six months ended December.
Chief executive Grant O'Brien said since Woolworths announced a strategic review of the Dick Smith business last November he has already received a number of unsolicited approaches from would-be buyers.
"A divestment of Dick Smith will enable the Woolworths group to focus more investment on serving customers in its core business," O'Brien said in a statement.
While consumer electronics will remain an important category for the company, it is better delivered through its Big W chain, he said. The investment and management attention given to Dick Smith have been disproportionate to its relative size within the Woolworths group, he said.
Woolworths has appointed Greenhil Caliburn to advise it on divesting Dick Smith in a way which maximises shareholder value, he said.
Woolworths shares rose 1.8 percent to A$24.90 on the ASX. The shares have risen from as low as A$23.21in November.

Every piece of data tells a story. When compared, numbers reveal aptitudes and priorities. When connected, they illustrate tendencies and momentum. The same is true of business school rankings or inputs and outputs like GMAT scores, acceptance rates, and starting pay. Alone, they are a puzzle piece without little mooring or meaning. As other pieces are added and arranged, they slowly produce a picture profile of the best paths to take.
Every MBA applicant ultimately decides what's important to them. At Poets&Quants, our job is to supply the instruments used to evaluate schools, candidates, and employers – along with explanations of their value and application (not to mention their contrasts, correlations and contradictions). Every story highlights their potential and purpose, all while never shying away from their tradeoffs and limits. Our goal is simple: supply the various pieces in one source so readers can spend more time exploring and evaluating than searching and speculating.
In 2017, P&Q devoted over 80 articles to crunching data and examining the reasoning and plucking out the storylines behind it. As second round deadlines near – or potential members of the Class of 2021 begin to weigh their options – we wanted to provide an easy reference source for them to understand what is available…what is expected…and what is possible.
How do your target schools compare? Check out our "MBA Rankings," with stories on rankings from U.S. News & World Report, Bloomberg Businessweek, Forbes, Financial Times and The Economist (along with what these rankings truly measure and their potential flaws). Fretting over your GMAT, GRE, GPA or acceptance odds? You'll find every bit of data from 2016-2017 under "Admissions Data." Wondering which programs offer the best academics, facilities, or resources? We offer in-depth profiles of these areas and more in "MBA Experience." Of course, if you're concerned about pay and placement, we break those numbers down by school – along with taking deep dives into the leading employers. That doesn't even include exclusive P&Q data like startup pay and evaluations of admissions consultants!
What are the criteria that will define the best MBA experience and post-graduation outcomes for you? That's your call. Below, you'll find the resources that can point you toward the right options. Thank you again for your readership and we look forward to critically evaluating business schools in 2018.

Biking for Rewilding – Rewilding in Germany (part 5)
Dave and Anna, two environmentalists from the United Kingdom, started their "Biking for Rewilding" tour in April 2015 after leaving their office jobs and taking off on an adventure with a purpose. The 4,000 km cycling tour led them through seven European countries, where they visited seven rewilding areas. The final two destinations were Wisent Welt and the Palatinate Forest Biosphere Reserve in Germany, members of the European Rewilding Network (ERN).

After visiting the European bison project in the Kraansvlak area on the Dutch coast, we headed off to Germany to visit two rewilding projects. We cycled more than 300 km of hilly forest tracks arriving in Bad Berleburg to visit Wisent Welt ('Bison World'). We met with Coralie Herbst, who gave us a detailed and fascinating insight into the origins of Wisent Welt, another member of the European Rewilding Network. Wisent Welt runs this bison project on land privately owned by Prince Richard zu Sayn Wittgenstein Berleburg. It was the Prince's idea to bring back the bison to Germany.
The first bison at Wisent Welt were kept in an enclosure and after several years of research on the effects they were having on the environment, the bison were released into the forest. The wild herd, now consisting of 17 animals, was released two years ago whilst 7 still remain in the enclosure. The wild herd is extremely elusive, and although we enjoyed looking for the animals, we never did find them. But our excursions were not for nothing – we saw wild boar, roe deer and red deer in the forest at dawn, which was a wonderful experience.

Dave Renner / Blog author: For people. For nature
We had a fantastic time at Wisent Welt, learning about bison in the wild and working with the lovely people there. I'm also excited to mention that Dave and I got engaged during our stay at Wisent Welt, so it will always have a special place in our hearts.
After we waved goodbye to the bison and the bison team, it was time to pedal to the neighboring rewilding project. We cycled through forests, villages and vineyards to reach our final stop in the Biosphere Reserve Palatinate Forest "Biosphärenreservat Pfälzerwald". The Biosphere Reserve is 36,000 ha in size and part of the Natura 2000 Network.
In a small village in Western Germany, between the Rhine and the French border, there are plans afoot to bring back the Eurasian lynx! To find out more, we arrived at the offices in Trippstadt to meet with Sylvia Idelberger, the project leader and her team. We were very well received and greeted with pastries, home pressed apple juice and an interview with the local press! After that, we met with the lynx ecologist Julian Sandrini, who offered us accommodation at his house during our visit. We basked in the kindness of our hosts and chatted about the lynx before starting with the work the next day.
The Eurasian lynx was eradicated across most of Western Europe by 1850, but populations managed to survive in Scandinavia, Eastern Europe and Asia. Unlike the wolf, which is re-colonising Europe of its own accord, the lynx usually does not leave its home range when there is no sign of a neighboring population. This means that the only way to get lynx back into an area where it previously occurred is to reintroduce it. The aim of the project is to restore the function of predation in the ecosystem and re-establish evolutionary processes by establishing a reproducing sub-population of the lynx in the Palatinate Forest.
This EU LIFE Project is led by a local organisation called Stiftung Natur und Umwelt Rheinland-Pfalz. The plan is to capture wild lynx from healthy populations in Switzerland and Slovakia, transport them to Germany and release them in the Palatinate Forest in spring 2016. Eventually 20 animals will be introduced. Only a few animals can be captured at each donor location each year, so the reintroduction will be staggered over five years. A population of 20 lynx is quite small and the potential for inbreeding is a concern, but hopefully the new population will mix with other established populations across the border in France and ensure a healthy gene pool.

Bringing back predators is a sensitive subject and these plans did not come about overnight. Extensive consultations took place with local people, along with the hunting and farming communities. After many years of discussion it is safe to say that stakeholder relations are now favorable. Michael Back, one of the rewilding organisation's employees and a respected member of local community, works with his two dogs to find injured animals in the forest. Once the lynx is back, there is a chance he may be called upon to find an injured lynx, so he has been training his dogs to prepare for such a situation. They know how to smell out the animals and recognize their traces, such as hair and blood. They know what to do if they find an injured lynx, so that neither dog nor lynx is harmed during the encounter. Dogs can also help trace where the lynx was injured, so that the cause of injury could potentially be established.
During our visit, we spent time with ecologists and researchers. The lynx have not arrived yet, so this was a great time for researchers to collect baseline data to measure the impacts of the reintroduction when it happens. There are researchers monitoring populations of red deer and roe deer in the area, which is important because lynx primarily hunt roe deer – a female lynx can take around 77 roe deer in a year to feed herself and her young. Nevertheless, it is important to remember that the lynx have large home ranges, so the impact is spread over a big area.
The Palatinate forest looks like a great place to bring back the lynx and I am looking forward to follow the reintroduction process and seeing how the population establishes itself.
With our time in the Palatinate Forest drawing to its end, so does our 2015 Biking for Rewilding tour, and it is time to make our way back to London. We headed for the Eurostar in Brussels and waved goodbye to continental Europe for the winter. We plan to spend the cold, dark months in London working, volunteering and taking a few courses. Then we are going to welcome spring by getting married and excitedly planning our next venture. Until then, we would like to say thank you to Rewilding Europe for your support of and help with the organisation of our visits to European Rewilding Network projects, and to all of our wonderful hosts who have taken the time to talk to us, look after us, debate with us and provide us with food, shelter and friendship. You have all been fantastic!

The white Marilyn Monroe dress also referred to as the white halter dress was worn by the actress when shooting the 1955 film, The Seven Year Itch, directed by Billy Wilder. The dress was designed by William Travilla and is regarded as an iconic dress of film history.

In the film, the white dress appears in the sequence in which Marilyn Monroe and co-star Tom Ewell exit the Trans-Lux 52nd Street Theatre, then located on Lexington Avenue in Manhattan, having just watched the 1954 horror film Creature from the Black Lagoon.
The scene was originally intended to be shot on the street outside the Trans-Lux hotel at 1 am on the 15th of November 1954, however, the presence of Marilyn Monroe and the movie crew caught the curiosity of passing fans, so the director was forced to reshoot the scene on a set at 20th-century fox. Marilyn Monroe let the air from the metro lightly blow her skirt in an elegant fashion while she struck poses to entertain the crowd and paparazzi that had gathered at the scene. Images taken from this scene would be described as one of the iconic images of the 20th century.
DESIGN OF THE DRESS
The dress is a light coloured ivory cocktails dress. It has a halter like bodice with a plunging neckline and is made of two pieces of softly pleated that come together at the back, leaving the wearers arms, shoulders and back bare. The halter dress is attached to a band situated under the breasts.
A soft and narrow self-belt was wrapped around the torso, crossing the front and tied into a small neat bow at the waist, front and left side. There's a zipper at the back of the bodice and tiny buttons at the back of the halter.
WHY THE WHITE DRESS WAS SO ICONIC
Marilyn Monroe, in her white halter dress, playing with her floaty skirts in her seductive and flirtatious way pinned an intimate moment against the rigid expectations of what went down on a public New York street in the year 1955. This public show of "indecency" turned every spectator into an unwitting voyeur and immortalized the legacy of the girl in the nearly upskirt shot.
WHERE IS THE WHITE DRESS NOW
After the death of Monroe in 1962, Travilla kept the dress locked up with other dresses of the actress. Bill Sarris a colleague of Travilla, put the clothes on display after the death of Travilla in 1990. The dress then joined the collection of Hollywood Memorabilia owned by Debbie Reynolds at the "Hollywood Motion Picture Museum".
In 2011, Reynolds announced that she would sell the entire collection at an auction to be held in stages on the 18th of June of the same year. The dress was estimated to be sold at a price between one and two million dollars, but it actually sold for 4.6 million dollars plus one million commissions, making it a total of 5.6 million dollars.

Revision as of 19:01, 28 June 2017 by Piccardi (talk | contribs)
Osmia was founded in 1919 by Hermann Böhler and has been for long one of the leading German fountain pens manufacturers, and it was for a short period a Parker subsidiary for european production. Since 1935 the Osmia essentially became a division of Faber-Castell, who started an acquisiton, completed in 1951.
But because the prestige of the brand, acquired by Osmia thanks to the absolute quality of his pens, the trademark was maintained for a long time after the complete acquisition by Faber-Castell. It disappeared only in the early '60s, when the crisis derived from the success of the ballpoint pen pushed Faber-Castell to produce cheaper models.
Instructions sheet
Osmia was founded in 1919 by Hermann Böhler under the name of Böhler und Cie, in Dossenheim, near Heidelberg. Böhler, as many others of his colleagues who made a similar choice, left Kaweco to create a new company with his brother Georg, leveraging the expertise gained in this field inside Kaweco, during the years in which that company acquired A. Morton & Co. to realize a production of gold nibs.
The initial Osmia production consisted primarily of mechanical pencils and hard rubber safety pens. The Osmia logo was a diamond placed inside a circle. The first version of the logo consisted in a convex Greek cross, but has been reported[1] that given the similarity with its own logo Osmia was brought to court by Montblanc, that required a very high compensation and the complete destruction of the entire production. That would have destroyed the company, but the case was resolved with an agreement and Böhler had to change the symbol transforming the cross in a diamond.
Osmia Faber-Castell instruction sheet
The company name, Osmia, derived from a special metal alloy, called Osmiumalloy for which the Böhler brothers obtained the use thanks to a patent of the Heraeus company in Hanau,[2] The Osmiumalloy was used widely for the tips of the Osmia nibs, and the alloy, though much more expensive, had a much higher quality respect to natural iridium then available in Germany (which contained many impurities that it favoured wear), and allowed the company to provide a lifetime warranty on their pens.
Osmia had a great initial success, becoming in a short time the second largest producer of pens in the country, so that a plant was specially created to produce pens. In the late '20s however sales had slowed and margins were weak, so the company went into financial troubles. In this period Parker, who was trying to expand its business into Europe, began to take an interest in Osmia which was acquired (or with whom took an interest, sources are unclear) in 1928. In this period the company produced the Duofold for the European market, characterized by the imprint "Parker - Osmia A. G. Heidelberg".
During the same period the company continued to produce under the Osmia brand, with mottled hard rubber safety pens, lever filler pens and mechanical pencils, which retained the original logo on the cap. Around 1930, Parker withdrew because the Duofold sales did not have a great success because of a price too high for the German market, and a too rigid nib. The activity went on (or was given, sources are unclear) to Osmia Gmbh, again under the direction of the Böhler brothers. It was launched a new line, the Osmia Supra, similar to the Duofold, with an improved button filler, and a brass enameled logo on top of the cap.
In 1932, facing financial difficulties for the return of investment to the Parker, the nib factory was sold to Degussa. In 1933 the pen style was amended to follow the streamlined trend also used by Duofold of the same time. Were also launched other models: the Luxus line, a torpedo-shaped piston filler, and the the Osmia Progress, with a filling system similar to the Vacumatic one. Despite the financial troubles due to end of the cooperation with Parker, Osmia got a good selling success.
Since 1935 the company was gradually acquired by Faber-Castell, even if the final sale of all ownership was made only in 1951. The fountain pens took the inscription A. W. Faber-Castell Dossenheim but nevertheless the continued to bear the Osmia brand and logo, which was well known and respected, until the '60s. In 1938 Hermann Böhler resigned from Osmia to found in Dossenheim another company with its name that produced pens and automatic pencils.
Most of the production of Faber-Castell fountain pens was however done with Osmia trademark. In 1935 were introduced several models with different filling systems. Using the piston filler were: the Supra Luxus in chiseled black celluloid, produced in the 42, 44 and 46 measures, the Supra in the black or blue or silver or gold colors, with a black cross-striped transparent section produced in the 72, 74, 76, and 78 measures, the Brilliant similar to the Supra but only in black celluloid and in 62, 64, 66 measures, and the Brilliant, black, in 54, 55 and 56 measures.
A black Supra Progress 194
Using a membrane filling system were the Supra Progress in plain colors (black, green, red, gray, blue, silver and gold) and 192, 193, 194 and 196 measures, and the Osmia Progress in the 92, 93, 94 and 96 measures. Finally using the button filler the Osmia Brilliant produced in black, gold, red and green and 232, 126, 127 and 128 measures.
In the late '30s, because of World War II, like all other German manufacturers the company suffered major difficulties, but despite the production was reduced for the call to arms of most of the employees, it remained active. After the war, not having the facilities suffered significant damage, production was resumed at full speed from 1946, proposing the same models of before, but with only with a piston filler and with the explicit endorsement (in addition to the Osmia brand and logo) of A. W. Faber-Castell.
In the '50s Osmia introduced a series of new models like the Supra 880, in three sizes (2, 3 and 4) in black, with a band on the cap and an ink level indicator, the Supra 666 in four sizes (1, 2, 3 and 4), in black, gray and pearl and red and pearl colors, with rings ont the cap and gold and steel nibs, the Osmia 74D in black plastic, designed to make carbon copies, and the Osmia 52 for the student market.
Starting from 1955 were introduced two more streamlined models: the most prestigious, which were intended to compete with the Montblanc 146 and 149, were 446 and 448, with three ring and the logo engraved on the cap, bicolored gold nib and a straight clip. To these followed the mid-range models 882, 883 and 884, in black or green stripes, a band on the cap and a beak clip.
In the early '60s the Osmia trademark was no longer used; a number of hooded nib plastic models were introduced, they were thinner than previous one and marked A. W. Faber-Castell, with a transparent section for ink level view. The luxury line was called 66, with body in black, red, blue or green plastic, rolled gold cap and gold nib, the mid range models were called Faber-Castell Progress and produced in three versions: the 77S in plastic with a steel nib, the 55S with silver cap, plastic body and steel nib, the 55G with gold nib. It was also produced a student model called 54VT, because the Vest Tank, with a secondary reservoir usable through a valve.
In the late '60s, as for most of the other fountain pens producers, having also completely erased a prestigious brand that enjoyed a wide popularity, sales had an irreversible decline, holding only partially for the students pens. In 1975, during a corporation restructuration, Faber-Castell completely eliminated the entire field of fountain pens production, resuming today, with the return of interest for this popular writing tool.
In the early '60s Faber-Castell ceased to use the Osmia trademark, starting to a production of cheap models for the scholastic market marked only by its brand name, with a drastic reduction in sales, accentuated even more by having removed from the market a prestigious brand.

Resumption of H5N1 Research May Increase Pandemic Risk
Newark, Calif. - January 31, 2013 Last week, research resumed on the highly virulent H5N1 avian influenza viruses after a year-long ban. With the controversial lifting of the moratorium, researchers will now try to increase the transmissibility or virulence of H5N1 to help prepare vaccines and other medical treatments in case of a pandemic. According to analysis from RMS' infectious disease model, however, pursuing this 'gain of function' research increases the chance of a man-made H5N1 pandemic. While the probability of such an event occurring remains low, insurance companies need to ensure they have enough capital to manage the risk.
"Laboratory experimentation remains controversial because of the possibility of creating a super flu that might not have occurred naturally. The H5N1 influenza virus is highly virulent and rapidly mutating, and its evolution, through either natural or laboratory means, could pose the most significant pandemic threat of the modern era," commented Dr. Maura Sullivan, senior director of LifeRisks at RMS.
To help inform the debate, RMS, which specializes in the quantification of extreme risk for the insurance and financial services industries, has used its infectious disease model to simulate scenarios for pandemics that could result from the escape of a virus from a research laboratory. It estimates that there is a small but significant likelihood of an escaped lab pathogen triggering a global pandemic. Commenting on the implications for insurers, Dr. Andrew Coburn, senior vice president of LifeRisks at RMS, said: "In the long run, if this research results in good vaccines, then it could reduce pandemic risk by 30%, but in the short term the research itself poses an increased risk. For risk managers looking to stress test their Solvency II capital requirements, RMS' model indicates that an additional 5% in capital may be required to compensate for a possible man-made pandemic occurring as a result of the lifting of the research ban."
In nature, H5N1 has infected over 600 people globally, typically via direct contact with an infected bird, and killed around 60% of those infected. According to RMS' analysis, a H5N1 virus that is as transmissible as the 1918 Spanish flu could result in tens of millions of deaths worldwide. Transmissible viruses produced in the laboratory are not yet as deadly as avian flu in the wild, but the new round of research is aimed at achieving this.
H5N1 influenza research currently requires biosafety level three laboratories rather than the maximum security level four. Researchers are resisting upgrading to level four because they argue that it will slow research progress. Historical laboratory-acquired infections demonstrate that biosafety measures occasionally fail, and if a pandemic were to occur from a laboratory escape, there is a wide range of potential outcomes.
"We need to ensure an appropriate level of laboratory safety to balance the increased risk with the public health benefit," said Dr. Sullivan. "The research community alone should not be solely responsible for regulating practices that could significantly increase infectious disease mortality risk for all. Even a mild epidemic with limited mortality can have catastrophic economic impacts."
The potential severity of a global pandemic makes it imperative that a full risk assessment is carried out, including the possible threats and benefits of allowing future research, to ensure that research is well-controlled and carried out under the appropriate security levels.
